It was reported that the work on the buildings IS progressing, and it was hoped to have the reconstructed and enlarged plant in operation by next April.
 The development of the gas com pany's plant has now reached the stage Where its magnitude attracts public attention not only from near by but from afar off. In addition to the mann moth gasometer on East street which towers above. the tallest of the many tall factory buildings in that section of the city, the great coal storage shed and the retort house on Chapel street are well advanced toward completion.

GRAND PRIZE FOR APoLLINARIs.
 The St. Louis Exposition awarded The Grand Prize to Apollinaris natural mineral water. This well-known water has received the highest award where ever exhibited. and lays claim to more awards than any other table water. Ac- cording to the London Lancet" of January 3Oth, 1904, Apollinaris is bottled only at the spring and with it's own natural gas. The spring being at Neu- enahr, Germany, Apollinaris was ex- hibited in the German Division and it is noteworthy that Germany made a brilliant record in the great number of awards it carried off.

MRS. ANDREW GOODYEAR.
Her Death in California-was Well.
 Known Here.

Known Here.
 News was received here yesterday of the death of the widow of the late An drew Goodyear, of Benicia, Cal. The Herald of that city says that death came very suddenly. She enjoyed din- ner with the family and retired early, dying soon after lying down.
 The Herald speaks in terms of tender tribute to the memory of Mrs. Good year, vho was the widow of one who formerly resided in Hamden, and whose relatives are prominent residents and business men of this city.
 .f.IIfi' Good in Miami, Mo, and met Andrew Goodyear in Ben icia, where she was married September 16, 1856
 MT, Goodyear died in Benicia August N, 1892. Two children survive.
 t. Andrew Goodyear was a brother of Miles H. Goodyear and William H. Goodyear, of this city, and uncle to An drew c. and J. Boardman Smith, of this city. He left New Haven in 1S47, join- ing his brother Miles in Ogden, Utah, where they remained until the Mormons became so numerous in the vicinity that they decided to sell out and go further west. Miles Goodyear was of adventurous turn of mind, and crossed the mountains several times with John c. Fremont in the Pathfinder days. Andrew Goodyear was a regular forty miner. He became a large owner of real estate in Benicia, which was at ont time the capital of California, and he was greatly respected by all who knew him.
 The Goodyear family is one of the best known in this part of the state. The old homestead in Hamden included the land upon which now stands the Hamden town hall and the church which adjoins it.

UNDERTAKES AND
 SANITATION
BIG ADVANCE IN SANITARY SOL ENGE BY IF. H. GRAHAM co.
Leading Features = Expenditures Membership-Parish House Building Fund-Bible School.

Fund-Bible School.
 For several months past w. H. Gra- ham and G. M. Hayes, of the under taking firm of the. w. H. Graham Co, have been making careful and tho- rough study in modern sanitation with one of the leading analytical chemists in the country. believing that wide field presents itself here for the con- sideration of intelligent methods in checking the spread of communicable diseases The undert Gker's profession like that of physician, continually brings him into contact with clements of diseases and it is of the greatest importance that the undertaken should thoroughly understand the destruction of the living principles, that is, micro organisms causing diseases.
 Progress is now the keynote of suc- cess to the undertaken and the rapid strides taken in the direction of sani- tation during the last few years prove that newer thoughts and higher ideas are pushing out the old-fashioned. hap hazard ways, and the undertaken who neglects this will find himself eyentu- ally distanced by his more alert con freres.
 City ordinances direct that the de- partment of health must disenfect in all cases of consumption, diphtheria and scarlet fever, but there are at least 25 other contagious and infectious dis eases causing death, such as typhoid fever. septicemia, pneumonia, etc. which are conclusively proven to. be spread by germ contact and atmos- pheric contamination The greatest progress in medicine is made by the physician who studies bacteria.
 The members of the w. H. Graham Co. believe that where sanitation has been applied it has been found to be a very valuable business asset and have therefore prepared to equip themselves with the most modern apparatus that has been placed upon the market which will give them special opportunities for displaying practical knowledge and timely suggestions.
