Held at Marquand Chapel Last Evening
 Attended by Members of Yale Di.
 Vinity School Faculty = Impressive
 Appreciative Address by Professor
 WilIlstOn Wplker.
 memorial service for the late Pro- lessor George B. Stevens was held in Marquand chapel last evening at eight o'clock. The members of the Divinity school faculty, of which the deceased professor was a member for twenty years, occupied seats on the platform. The service was opened by Professor Frank c, Porter. Professor Brastow read the Scripture lesson. Prayer was offered by Professor Edward L. Cur tiss.
 Professor Williston Walker spoke in very impressive way in memory of the departed. In the beginning of his address he said that George Barker Stevens was born in Spencer, Tioga county, New York state, in 1854 He traced the early life of the late profess sor through his early school days and then through his studies at Ithaca, Cornell, Rochester and Yale Divinity school, and referred later to his studies abroad. After the professors gradua- ton at Yale he became pastor of the First Congregational church at Buffalo, from whence, after very successful stay of two years, he removed to Wa tertown, N. r., where he stayed for several years as pastor of church. From Watertown he went to Germany, where he studied for time, gaining. the degree of D. D, He held, before his stay abroad, the degree of Ph. D., con ferred by one of the American colleges. During his professorship at Yale he received the honorary degree of D. D. from Illinois and that of IL. D. from Rochester.
 From Germany he returned to this country to take up the work of teach ing at Yale Divinity school which was continued until his death in June of this year. The loss occasioned by his death has been felt very keenly by all who were associated with him, and, in- ueeui uS dll WHO hlleW ullll. IHe Spedh- CT dWelt at length upon the scholarly attachments of Dr. Stevens, and refer red to the books that were written by him, long and notable list culminat ing in the last one published, entitled 'The Christian Doctrine of Salvation" His many desirable qualities as pastor, preacher, teacher and theologian were alluded to. In very touching manner Professor Walker spoke about the sym pathy helpfulness and friendliness as expressed in the life and character of the deceased, so suddenly removed from a sphere of acceptable service so full of promise of larger things. The chapel was well filled and the service was concluded with prayer and benediction by Professor Bacon.

 Charles Hopkins Clark, editor of the Hartford Courant, who was on the list of speakers, was unable to be present on account of illness.
 The closing address of the evening was that of Professor William Lyon Phelps, of Yale. Introducing his re- marks, he said: After the thunder and lightning comes the still, small voice. You have heard the mighty thunder of the Consolidated engine on one hand and the lightning of the Elm plre state on the other, and after these comes the still, small voice of Connect icut."
 Professor Phelps spoke first on the ability of business men to write good English. He said it was supposed that college professors were superior in this, but he was in doubt about it. The modern advertising writer, he said, was one of the best writers in the world, combining the successful business man and the successful stylist
 Speaking on the relations of the col lege and the city, he spoke strongly against the talk of taxing the univer- sity. The university, he declared, was one of the greatest aids to New Ha- ven's prosperity and it was an absurd ity to tax it. It is not apart from the city, but part of it.
 Its great value is to train intelligent citizens. One of the greatest advances in education in the United States is bringing the university nearer to com mon life and making the professor more man of affairs, and not the se- cluded monk of olden days. He closed with strong plea for civic pride in our beautiful city of New Haven.
 During his address he digressed for a strong compliment to Governor Woodruff's appointee as executive sec retary, Charles Julin. He spoke of him as an earnest, hard-working man, who had worked his way through college, and deserved all the success possible. He was a member, Professor Phelps stated, of the first Yale debating team that ever defeated either Harvard or Princeton.

Its veteran proprietor and director is still tAe man at the helm and to his fore sight and energy is to be attributed the fact that the Malley stores stand second to none In New England, At the present time the large store is scene of great activity, and it will be the great mecca for Christmas shop ping until Christmas eve Their stock is large and well selected and you can find within its walls everything from a needle to an anchor" as the saying goes.

 freshman, against Josephine Birney Norton, of this city, was assigned as the third case for next Friday at the short calendar proceedings yesterday in the superior court. Although 1t Is very probable that it will not be reached for trial on Friday, the fact that 1t has been assigned is evidence that 1t will be only a short time before the case comes up. Judge Wheeler will hear the case.
 Only a brief statement was made to the court yesterday by counsel in the case, this being that a number of witt nesses would have to be summoned from the state, and that two at least would be brought from outside of the state,

RARE SPORT.

Recent reports tell of marked in
crease in the interest taken in tobog-
gaming in Switzerland. Young Peoples
Weekly tells us that the sport is being
reduced almost to a science. The most
famous course for tobogganing is known
as the Cresta Run. 1t is a crooked
course, with many sharp turns, which
gives zest to the task of steering the
SHELTON racing machines. 1t is one thou
sand four hundred and fifty yards in
length, and has a drop of five hundred
and fifty feet. Practically all dangers
in handling a toboggan is prevented by
the high banks of snow on each side.
When a reckless toDogganer shoots off
the course he lands in soft snow. The
swiftness of the transit is shown by the
fact that the descent has been made in
siXty-six seconds.

I'll help my dearest mother the very

I'll wait upon her kindly; she'll lean
upon my arm;
I'll lead her very gently, and keep her
safe from harm.
But when 1 think upon it, the time will
be SO long"
Said Peter Paul Augustus, before I'm

JACK FROST.
By Sidney Dare.

He's taken nip at the saliva bush,
Its flower is turned to black
He blew breath on the hollyhocks-
Their bloom will never come back.
He danced in the meadow all night long.
And turned it rusty brown,
And now do you see, he's touched the
trees,
And the leaves are straying down.
He softly covers the window panes
With sketches rich and rare
AS ever with dainty paint and brush
An artist could picture there.
And so, though the merry birds are
flown,
The song Of the stream is lost,
And summer is hiding far away,
Well try to forgive Jack Frost.

if we don't think we ought to be as
good as fairies, seeing we're SO much
bigger. Please Go, Grandma"
Grandma laid down her knitting and
rested her head against the back of the
chair, with her eyes shut and her hands
folded. Gradually smile spread over
her face, and Katharine knew her wish
was already granted.
Eyes, dear, 1 will. Come and sit in
this chair with me, so that James and
Sterling can draw their chairs nearer.
and I'll tell you about something that
happened to me when I was about as old
as your mother is. How would you
like that?"
"Fine!" they all cried, and Katharine
cuddled down at Grandma's side feeling
sure that this story would be good
one"

said he was going to be soldier and

well, Aunt Sabrina was afraid to
stay alone, but Sister Faith, who was
brave like James, said she was fright
ened, and I thought I wouldn't be, so we
stayed alone"
But, Grandma" said Katharine, sit
ing up, where were the cook and
Anna?"
"Oh, they were both there, but they
slept in the third story and were more
afraid to be alone than we were, for it
was lonesome in that old-fashioned,,
many-roomed house. The windows
could be reached from the ground, you
See, and there were so many dark cor
