TRIN1TY's OLDEST MEMBER.


 Mrs Elizabeth Morris Goodwin's 90th
 Birthday to be Celebrated To-Day.
 Mrs. Elizabeth Morris Goodwin, wid. ow of the late William A. Goodwin, is celebrating her ninetieth birthday. Mrs. Goodwin was born in Oswestry, Wales, on February 10, 1916, and came to this country from England when twenty years of age, her brothers, the late Charles Morris and Owen Morris, both of this city, having preceded her. She tells many interesting tales of her ex- perience on the sailing vessel Franco mia" which brought her to America. She sailed for Liverpool on the S0th of June, and arrived in New York on Au- gust 12th, a six weeks trip which to- day would be looked upon as a hardship but which she describes as one of the pleasantest experiences of ner life.
 In 1889, three years after arriving in New Haven, she united with Trinity Episcopal church, and she is to-day the oldest living member of that parish.
 She was married to the late William A. Goodwin in the year 1S42, and is the mother of six sons, two of whom died in childhood. A third, the late William A. Goodwin, jr,, was a member of the New Haven Grays at the time of the civil war, enlisted in Co. A, 27th c. V, the "Grays' company, and was killed at the battle of Fredericksburg. Three sons are still living Frederick T. Good win and Henry c. Goodwin, of this city, and Charles o. Goodwin of Newark, N. J.
 Tn celebration of Mrs. Goodwin's birthday Mrs. Frederick T. Goodwin and Msr. William R. Hoppen, her granddaughter, have planned a recep- ton to be held at the nome of the lat ter, 14S Norton street, from 4 to 6, this afternoon. Mrs. Goodwin is looking for ward to this event with a great deal of pleasure, and it is doubtful if there will be any in the company younger than she. For one of her years she is remarkably active, getting out of doors every pleasant day. All her faculties are wonderfully well preserved. Her friends will experience no more pleas- ure in wishing her many happy returns of the day than will she is meeting with them.

STEINEHTONE PIANOS.
Great Manufacturers' Sale Now on At
 tracting Widespread Attention.

tracting Widespread Attention.
 An event of importance to many and one to which We take pleasure in call ing the attention of our readers, is the great manufacturers sale of Steiner tone pianos now on at the warerooms Of the Steinertone company, 1O6 Park street, this city. This sale has already attracted widespread attention, and the many callers and the interest shown have been a qualification. The Steiner tone company is the only one that can sell pianos at real manufacturers prices, and this is possible because the pianos are sold only at the factory, and there is no expense for rent of extreme " costly Warerooms on the great busi- ness thoroughfares This is not a sav- ing to the company but to the pur- chaser, who reaps the benefit of the system.
 The Steinertone is the very best piano on the marke-. Others cannot compare with it. Its wonderful tonal effects, brilliant action and durability are quail ities that stand forth pre-eminently. The Steinertone is the piano of the day because it is the best at the best price.

ELI DENISON HAYES.
Death of One of the Best of the Old
 Time Wood Engravers.

Time Wood Engravers. Eli Denison Hayes died at the home
 of his son in Springfield Wednesday ir
 his eighty-first year. He was born ir l Broo5field. His chief claim to public 1 interest is that he was among the last | of the earlier wood engravers in this
 country. Specimens of his work GOV ering a period of nearly fifty years may
 be found in the collection of the work
 of representative American engravers
 in the Museum of Fine Arts at Boston while few of his proofs are included
 in the art collection of the Springfield
 Library. Thus MT. Hayes experience
 covered practically the whole period of
 American wood engraving, from the can Bewick, as he is styled, was in his prime, to the present day.
 At the age of seventeen he was ap- prenticed to an older brother to learn the trade of carpentry. Shortly after
 he remembered overhearing his father inquire how he was getting on in the business, and the brother replied: Eli Is good for nothing. As soon as he gets board planned he has to stop to draw an Injun or some other critter on it." A year later the visit of q cousin, wood engraver, from New Haven, changed the whole current of his life
 Of a genial and communicative turn, the cousin kindly set himself to initia- ting Eli into the mysteries of wood en- craving. Two rude grayers were fash toned from narrow saw blade: in liel Of the customary boxwood a reighbor- Ing apple tree was climbed, seasoned branch sawed off and planned and polished. The picture to be engraved was transferred to its surface and a llttle instruction as to how to use the tools was given with the encouraging remark that If he made satisfactory progress an opening in the near future might be made for him. The opening soon came, and at the expiration of four years, having acquired all that the New Haven office was capable of im- parting to him, Mir. Hayes went to New York, finding a home and employ ment with Benjamin F. Childs of the American Tract society,
 There he came in intimate contact with E. j. Whitney, a talented engra- yer afterward we'll known as an illus trator and artist in black and white MT. Whitney became art superinten- dent of the Tract society, and under his stimulus there was new depar- ture in wood engraving. The work of the Tract society In those days, it may be said, outrivaled in artistic excel fence that of every other publishing house in the country. Among it's pub- lications was the chIld's Paper. Many If not the greater part, of it's cuts were rom the graver of Mir Hayes.
 Alter few years sME Hayes weary- ing of city life and being somewhat delicate In health, retired to pleasant country nook near New Haven, where Tor over twenty years he busily piled his graver, reproducing much of the loest work of the designers of the day Tor both books and magazines. It Is several years now since Mir. Hayes laid down the graver and the art instinct found outlet In depletion of Connecti- cut valley landscape in both oils and water colors.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN,

Benjamin Chapln's Splendid Imperson-
 ation of Great President.
 Frank Leslie's says: Abraham Lin- coin, long since passed away from earth, but he is being made living reality to hosts of people to-day by his double" Benjamin Chapln, who as- sumes the title role in the character drama, "Lincoln" This play is de- velopment of an impersonation of Lin- coin that MT. Chapin has been pre- senting for several years. He has de- voted fourteen years to continuous study of Lincoln, his mannerisms, hab- it's, traits of character, and career. His makeup is said to be marvellous pre- sentiment of the great emancipator. The play gives Mir. Chapin an opportunity to show the man, but also tells an ab- soroing story.
 Mir. Chapin will be seen in "Lincol,." at the Hyperion on Saturday, Febru- ary 23,
