ENTERTAINMENTS s.
Hyperion Theater.

''The Old Homestead" ever old and ever new. is coming to the Hyperion next Monday night, and with it the cnly original and ever popular Denman Thompson. MT. Thompson, healthy, happy and spry as ever, still continues his inimitable impersonation of that jolly. wholesome. honest and generous old Yankee farmer, Uncle Josh, whose joys and sorrows, failures and success es. so invariably interest an audience and arouse it's sympathies. Joshua Whitcomb is the New England farmer to life. and seeing him portrayed by Denman Thompson one loses sight all together of the idea that it is dramat- ic counterfeit rather than the genuine Yankee, who apparently steps from his hayfeld to the barnyard of the Whit comb homestead, nestling amid the New Hampshire hills. Verify, the old play, dear to every one who has seen it, has lost none of it's popularity. but rather increases in favor. as the years wear on. MT. Thompson promises an excellent cast, including the famous double quar- tette and complete scenic outfit.

COURIER OCTOBER
GIFT TO GRERNWIC
FOR CONTAGIOUS DIS-
 EASES PRESENTED TO THE ToWN

By Robert M. Bruce, for Many Years
 New York Merchant aud Broker
 Buildings All Ready-FIItsen Acres of
 Land.
 Greenwich, Oct. 13.-Robert NJ. Bruce, for many years merchant and broker in New York city, a resident of this town, has built for presentation to the town a hospital for contagious diseases. The institution consists of three detach- ed hospitals, or cottages, built of rustic stone, arehitecturally pleasing, as per- feet in sanitary appointment as modern science can make them, and supplied with all comforts and conveniences for patients and nurses. With furniture of iron, with walls, ceilings and floors of cement, and with all corners rounded, there is no lodging place for germs or dust.
 Equally careful provision has been made for the disposal of sewage, so that there can be no possible contami- nation. A private water supply forti- fies the institution against any possible failure in the public supply. Electric ity supplies light, and power for ventil- ating fans.
 The buildings were constructed under medical supervision and have had the warm approval of many visiting physi- clans from New York.
 In the caretaker's house, located at proper distance from the cottages, two wards for emergency cases have been provided. The fifteen-acre site, which is remote from human habitation, has been made attractive with flowers and shrubbery. and altogether upwards of $50,00O has been generously and judi ciously expended to provide most ad- vantageous quarters for those i'll with contagious diseases. and to save the town the expense and panic which gem erally follow the appearance of such diseases in an unprotected community. The deed of gift, with certain condi- tions attached, will be offered to the consideration of a town meeting to- morrow. ksse.ss

 YESTERDAYS STOCK MARKET
Passes Through Namber of Separate
 Phascs fo Lift Priess.

Phases fo Life Prices. New York, Oct. 13.-To-day's stock market passed through a number of separate phases and ended the day in a nearly stagnant condition and with prices, for the most part, not far from last nights level. The market was strong the early part of the day, when the selling pressure, which has been so
 conspicuous recently, seemed to be en- tirely withdrawn. An organized party of professional traders made an att tempt to start prices upwards, perceiv- ing a number of circumstances which might work in favor of the attempt.
 The most notable of these was the building of large short interest, which gave evidence of it's existence by an eagerness to borrow stocks for delivery,
 causing a number of the industrials to command a slight premium for that purpose in the loan crowd. London was inclined to take more creerful view of the financial outlook, and felt somewhat treasured over the prospects in the far east. Speculative circles were inclined to attach importance to some large and concentrated buying of United States Steel preferred. That stock, in, conse- quence, recovered to 60 and inspired a hope that it's downward course had
 been arrested at last. The importance attached to the shipbuilding case was indicated by the good effect of rumor that the suit was to be adjusted and discontinued
 ho {;y,,n talk of dividend increase on Amalga- mated Copper and of declaration of a dividend on Reading second preferred. A downward plunge in United States Steel preferred to STA, the lowest price of record, had chilling effect on this whole movement and caused a reaction ary tendency. The selling of the stock was associated with the renewed stock market furry in Pittsburg. A. 3-point break in Westinghouse Electric and drop of il in the first preferred were supposed to find their origin at the same source. The slump of 9 points in Colorado Fuel had no news to explain it, but was supposed to be connected with speculative accumulation of this stock, while it's control was still dis puted.
 The railroad equipment companies were still notably weak under the influ- ence of the official admissions of large measures of economy by the great rail- road systems, which are expected to become general throughout the railroad world. A sale of old Rock Island stock at decline of 15 points attracted some attention. The break in Canadian Pa cific just at the close was attributed to orders from Montreal. The western demand for currency is still deferred, and New York exchange at Chicago. went to fifteen cents premium. The money market is correspondingly easy in tone.
 Outside of the fluctuations in steel bonds, the bond market was narrow and unirnportant. Total sales par value $2,S42000.

Tendon in His Leg-Line-up for To-
 day's Game.
 In another stiff practice yesterday the scrub team held the Yale varsity elev- en in good shape. The only scoring done was by Bowman, who made a pretty goal from the field standing at the twenty-five-yard line. He accom- plished the feat with such apparent ease that it sent a thrill through Yale hearts that have been anxious over the Princeton game and Dewitts unques- tioned superiority in this feature of the game over all other players up to the present time. ..-... .-..
 Tn the first half Hoyt kicked off for the scrubs. Metcalf caught the ball, but was tackled in fine shape by Hoyt, who got down under his own kick in surprising fashion. The scrubs, after getting the ball on return kick by Bowman, proceeded to tear up the var sity line for thirty yards, twenty of which went to Stevenson's credit. On the 'varsity's thirty-f1ve-yard line the scrubs were held for downs. By per- sistent line-bucking the ball was finally planted on the scrubs ten-yard line and a touchdown seemed imminent, but owsley fumbled and the opportunity was lost. Hoyt then kicked to the scrubs forty-five-yard line and the varsity got it back to the fifteen-yard line, when Bowman made his field goal after three downs had been taken.
 Owsley was sent to the second team for fumbling in the second half and he broke through and blocked a kick for goal of Hoyt who had been taken to the varsity ranks, after the regulars had rushed the ball to the second team's ten-yard line Morehead strain ed tendon in his leg, which may keep him out of the game the rest of the season.
 Yale's lineup against Holy Cross to- day will be: Left end, Captain Raffer- ty; left tackle, Kinney; left guard, Morton: center, Roraback; right guard, Boomer; right tackle, Hogan; right end. shevlin; quarterback, Rockwell;, left half-back, Owsley; right half-back, Metcalf; full-back, Bowman.
 The game will start promptly at 2:3c o'clock.

The original production will be used and company of uniform excellence employed. The Christian, shows the contrast between the life of the music hall and that oe the church in way that wins the interest of everyone. It is strong, powerful play, filled with strong, dramatic scenes, and introduces several of the strongest characters ever conceived by author or dramatist.

What For ?

The Rev. A. @. Dixon, formerly
pastor of Hanson Place Baptist
Church, Brooklyn, now preaching at
the Ruggles Street Church, Boston,
stepped off a trolley car at Park
Row some time since, intending to
board a Fourth Avenue car a few
steps away. He had a rather bulky
dress suit case, and a couple of boys
instantly ran toward him, crying:
Garry yer bag, mister! Garry yer
bag~ DR.. Dixon shook his head,
but one of the urchins persistently
ran beside him, looked up smiIingly
at the tall preacher, and coaxingly
repeating: "Say, mister, don't yer
want yer bag carried-don't yer want
it carried?" DIR. Dixon replied:
mo, no, my boy-no, no." "Well,"

Novt door to me the o of Jeffer-
Davis. President of the Southern
Co~nfederacy, had breathed his last.
One day after my little brother was
stricken. At the end of three days
he expired. One week later the di-
cease fastened upon me, then but a
lad If eight. In the dimness of the
client room and the whirling dizzi-
ness of eyes burning with fever, [
remember that a man came into my
bouse. He sat beside the bed and felt
my pulse.
They told me it was General
Wright of the relief committee. He
was facing death, but was as cool
and deliberate as the soldier who
goes into battle expecting to die and
mmindfuI of his fate. He spoke a
few words to me and the attendants,
laid his hand upon my scorching
brow, turned aside, wrote an order
for medicines and supplies from the
relief station and went out.
Beyond the open doorway an Au-
gust sun was blazing with unusual
ferocity in a cloudless sky. There
was a hush everywhere. No laborers
we're in the fields, and the wheels of
commerce were still. Only the
graveyards exhibited signs of activ-
ity. The dead and dying were on
every hand. Gen. Luke E. Wright
walked among these, looking death
in the eye as calmly as he occupies
his position to-day as Governor of

A Mile With Me.

In the Editors absence from the
Office two weeks ago, DR.. Henry Van
Dykes beautiful poem, "a Mile With

nearly all of the second verse, and
as If this were not manning enough,
the cOmpositor who sets heads made
the title read "a Smile With Me-"
The correct version is given here
with:
