IN THE CIVIL WAR.
Major Hincks' Brave Acts.

MdJOTt bIdpS kACLS.
 Major William B. Hincks, much la- mented and beloved citizen of Bridge port, who died November z, was the son of John w. and Sarah Ann BIodget IIincks, and was born in Bucksport, e., on September 8, 1S41. For about fif- ty years he has been resident of Bridgeport, with the exception of the three years, from 1862 to 1865, during which he served as member of the Fourteenth Connecticut Volunteers, in Company A, of which regiment he en- listed as a private, when the call went out for volunteers to serve for three years for the Union. As a reward for particularly meritorious deeds during action, MT. Hincks was promoted to the rank of major of the regiment in which he had enlisted, and he was one of the veterans of the bloody struggle to whom congress awarded medal of honor for conspicuous acts of bravery.
 MT. Hincks received his majority as a result of special mention in dispatches sent to army headquarters by Colonel Theodore G. Ellis, after the battle of SOlu I1dTpOT, V d. DOllI5 LlldL UlOUuy engagement MT. Hincks, whose previ- ous services for the regiment had won him promotion to the rank of adjutant rode out in front of the regiment, and dashing across a field, returned with two Confederate battle flags which he captured from their color guards, es- caping without a wound from that dar- ing ride. ''''- "5'*
 The act for which he received his medal of honor was performed at Get tysburg, druing the fighting of July 3, 1863. The Fourteenth Connecticut Vol unteers was holding stone wall, oppo- site to which was long rail fence and a lane, covered by the rifles of rebel in- fantry The Confederate color guard, under cover of the rifles of their com panions, crept to the rail fence and planted the reginental colors upon it. MT. Hincks jumped the stone wall, and in the face of a galling fire from the Confederate regiment, and in cross fire from a Union regiment which was sweeping the lane, ran to the rail fence, seized the rebel flag and returned to his regiment with it, escaping without a wound.

HAPPY DAYS.
When Friends Say, sHow We'll
 You Look y r l,

What happy days are those when all our friends say, How well you look"
 We can bring those days by little care in the selection of food just as this young man did.
 1T had suffered from dyspepsia for three years and last summer was so bad was unable to attend school,'' he says: T was very thin and my appe- tite at times was poor while again it was craving. I was dizzy and my food always used to ferment instead of di- gesting. Crossness, unhappiness and nervousness were very prominent symptoms.
 Hate in the summer went to visit a sister and there I saw and used Grape-Nuts. had heard of this fam ous food before, but never was interest ed enough to try it. for never knew how really good it was. But when I came home we used Grape-Nuts in our household all the time. and I soon be- gan to note changes in my health. I improved steadily and am now strong and well in every way, and am back at school able to get my lessons with ease and pleasure and can remember them too, for the improvement in my mental power is very noticeable, and get good marks in my studies which always seemed difficult before.
 T have no more of the bad symp- toms given above. but feel fine and strong and happy, and it is mighty pleasant to hear my friends say: How well you look" Name given by Post s.y,, (to saI,

OUR STATE DEBT.
IMPORTANT REPORT ISSUED BY
 TREASURER GALLUP

Over Six Hundred Thousand Dollars
 in Debts Paid or Last Year-smarIsr
 Receipts Expected for ths Ensuing Year.
 Hartford, Nov. 10.-According to the annual report of State Treasurer Gal lup, made public yesterday, the s:atc debt for the fiscal year ending October 1, was $1,O77.1OO. The treasurer reports that the states finances are in cxcel- lent condition, the receipts for the year aggregating sS,671. .O4O, the largest in the states history.
 The payments, including sJSG,OOO for the redemption of sta.e bonds. were ss, 614,?64.
 The balance in the treasury is sGsS,- S74. The policy of purchasing state bonds and retiring them, the treasurer says, has been generally successful and ";ll be followed in future years
 IdAluip SdySs ''The amount of funds received and dis bursed, as well as Of labor performed, was larger the year past than in any previous year. In this connection Fl must call attention to the very Limited room at my disposal and say I have had to work at great disadvantage on this account"
 A year ago the bonded debt of the state less the civil list funds amounted to $1.091, ,4O2.10, and at the close of the last fiscal year it was only $44S, 725.5 .56. This shows an improvement of $642, ,676.- 54 in the fiscal condition of the state for the last year.
 A considerable portion of this was the receipt of $454, ,92O.45 from the Uni ted States government as interest on the claims of the state for advances made during the civil war.
 Treasurer Gallup expresses the opin- ion that the receipts for the forthcom- ing year will be smaller owing to the great decline in values which will re- suit in cessation of the reduction of the state debt, or else make the process slower than during the past.four years |

AN INTERESTING MEETING
OF NEW HAVEN BRANCH, WOM-
 ANS MISSION BOARD. 5
A Farewell Yesterday Afternoon 60 pr Rath Hume, Mrs. Hannah Hume Lee
 and Miss Madoline campbe=.

| Ruth Hume, HIrs. Hannah Hume Lee
 and Miss riadoline campbe=.
 Dr. Ruth Hume in saying good bye
 at the meeting of the New Haven
 branch of the Woman's Board, held
 yesterday in Center church chapel,
 spoke of the associations her work in
 India would hold with friends in the
 home land. Her Wellesley classmates
 have given the operating room in the
 Ahmednagar hospital and Wellesley students contribute her missionary
 allowance while the United church has
 endowed a bed and the first patient
 who demands her care will occupy that bed. Dr. Hume related an incident in
 Mrs. Capron's experience which illus- trated the dependence of all who un- dertake such service upon the wisdom
 and power that is given through prayer.
 Also at the meeting yesterday Rose A. Bower, M. D., of West Africa spoke particularly of the hardships in the life
 of the women as seen in that mission
 and of the difficulties in the way of
 gathering the girls into schools. The
 girls are so useful to their mothers, be-
 ginning very early to work in the fields that the school bell cannot summon them until four in the afternoon It is dark at s, therefore their time for
 study and recitation is short. Boys
 have greater opportunities, as they are
 the more favored class. Tn the com
 paratively short age of the mission, a
 good beginning has been made in the
 care of the children and they are found to be very susceptible to instruction. More teachers are needed that the work may be systematized and enlarged.
 Miss Emily R. Bissell spoke for the
 Ahmednagar Boarding School for Girls.
 She has been principal of this school for several years and she now returns to it after a much needed furlough for rest and change. The girls are chiefly from Christian families, only about one-sixth being non-C Christian. These almost invariably, become Christian. They come from the village schools of the third grade, the standards being es- tablished by the government and num- her at present $50 girls. Their training is to fit them for Christian work among their sisters. Throughout the Martini
 community they are found as teachers,
 as Bible. readers, and as wives of evan gelists and Christian helpers. The needs of the schools were impressively presented and if not met who is to blame? st
 Miss Bissell sails Saturday, the 14th, on the Minnetonka of the Atlantic
 Transport line. The party consists of
 Rev. Theodore s. Lee, Mrs. Hannah
 Hume Lee, Ruth Hume, M. D., and
 Miss Madeline Campbell beside herself.

 Meriden, Nov. 1O.-Chief of Police Van Nostrand is seeking evidence against members of the football teams of the Meriden and New Haven high schools and others who are thought to have participated in the fight on the gridiron at Hanover park last Satur- day.
