Mark TWain's
 Pastor Resigns
The Rev. Joseph H. Twichel, Forty-Seven Years at Head
 of Hartford Church

Hartford, Dec. 11-At the services at the Asylum Hill Congregational Church the congregation was surpris- ed yesterday to learn of the resigna- tion of their pastor, Rev. Joseph Hop kins Twichell, who has been at the head of the church forty-seven years.
 The Rev. Dr. Twichell is a member of Yale Corporation, an intimate friend of President Taft and was Mark Twain's beloved pastor. He was the subject Of some of the humorist's pleasing witticisms. MT. Twichell preached at the South Congregational Church, Sunday, and the pastor of that church, Rev. Edwin P. Parker, who leaves next month. after fifty-two years of service, preached at the Asy- lum Hill Church. The latter read the letter of resignation after the ser vices, which were conducted by the assistant, Rev. Harry Arnold Walter.
 The unexpected resignation, which is to take effect not later than next July, gives advancing age as the cause of the severance of old ties. MT. Twich- ell is seventy-three years old. His wife became i'll at Mark Twain's fu- neral and died April "A, 1909. He is the author of several books, including Life of John Winthrop" and "Winth- rop Love Letters The Yale Mission ary Society recently published his Keith -Falconer of Africa.'' One of his sons, the Rev. Joseph Hooker Twichell, also a Yale alumnus, is a pastor in Massachusetts.

band drowns out and idealizes. And then follows that prostitution-the Te Deum. Thanking God, in brazen effr"ntery, for efficiency in slaughter!
 Again, in wild orgies and drunken revel, music howls and laughs, as if a legion of devils were let loose. But even now, let us hope, some fugitive strain may arouse a recollection of honester, happier days, and work & revulsion of feeling toward the ignobIe life, and turn the footsteps of some sinner into paths of rectitude.
 It is in this way that we like best to think of music; as "The harmony which is in immortal
 souls,
 But while this muddy vesture of de-
 cay
 Doth grossly close us in, We cannot hear it.''
 And finally, to the aged, sitting quietly in the twilight of life, looking with tired old eyes toward the sun, sinking over the distant hills, it comes as a benediction of hope and courage. and whispers. Peace, be stlil."

ILL, SHE ENDS LIFE
 ON THIRD ATTEMPT
Wife of Yale Instructor Disappears, and Searchers Find Her Body
 in West River.

New Haven, Dec. I-Despondent on account of i'll health, Mrs. Albert E. Gubelmann, wife of a Yale instruc- tor, threw herself into West river, a small stream in the western part of the city, and yesterday her body was founds in two feet of water.
 When she left her home in Brown ell street Saturday morning she said she was going for a short walk, but she failed to return. Searchers found her huff and fur neckpiece, and then dragged the river for about half a mile. Three neighbors of Mrs. Gubel- mann, Professor W. R. Longley, Pro- lessor s. K. Mitchell and E. s. Coo ley, found the body.
 MT. Gubelmann is an instructor in German in the academic department at Yale. His wife was thirty-four years old and twice before, had at tempted to take her life on account of poor health. She formerly lived in Rochester, N. r.

 Plato and the Greek philosophical school accorded music very high cation, embracing, as 1t did with them, poetry and all artistic vocal expression.

 We forgive the wayward Jessica much, when she confesses to Lorenzo that 'I am never merry when I hear sweet music"

 It exercises most pronounced hycho-therapeutic, or mental cura tive effect in nervous diseases-some- times quite hypnotic In it's character. Its value is admitted by alienists and neurologists, so that now music is a prominent, factor in modern sanitar- ium and asylum treatment.
 AS an aid to discipline, "music hath charms to soothe the savage breast" Progressive penitentiary wardens now take laudable pride in the efficiency of their prisoner or chestras.

Shakespeare makes the Duke, in twelfth Night" say, 'If music be the food of love, play on." He might truly have added that it is not only the food of love, but the inspiration, hope, solace, recreation, estacy, and consolation of mankind.
 Man talks to God more intimately in music than through any other mode of expression. As Browning whispers it, "The rest may reason and wonder, 'tis we musicians know"
 The love for music is instinctive. even our brute brothers share in it, in some degree.
 The savage, half animal mother of the ancient world soothed the little creature at her breast with chanted repetition of assurance that all was we'll.
 The savage warrior fired his pas- sions by calls of defiance in cadence, and thus music had its origin.
 The drumming upon a hollow log furnished marching music, and from this crude beginning came our porous sion instruments.
 The development of more compli- cated forms of musical expressions kept pace with mans intellectual growth. Man developed music, and music civilized man. Thus they bore a reciprocal relation to each other.
 It is a far cry from the guttural shriek of ram with twisted horn; the clashing and clicking of rude cymbals and castanets; the message conveying, war-summoning, boom of tom-t tom !: to the witching tri1 of a Melta; the inspiring blare of the trumpet chorus in Parsifal, or introduction to the second act of Lohengrin; the mar vicious range-from heart-breaking g and barbaric magnificence-of the modern string instruments. Those who listen-with bursting heart and tear-filled eyes-to the Andante of rchaikowski "PathetIque Symphony who are swept from their feet-ig- uratively speaking by the wild rush of the Ride of the Valkyres"; who melt in pity at the "Liebestodt" of Tristan and Isolde; or exult in the wild fling of the ''Zigunderwissen'' of Sarasate, or the Hungarian Dances" of Brahms, will testify to the potent influence of music upon their

OPEN GAS JET COMES
 NEAR CAUSING DEATH

Bernard Mclaughlin, a boarder in Mrs. s. Zoellinger's boarding house at 753 East Main street, was near death from gas asphyxiation, last night, when he was found by a boarder in an adjoining room. The ambulance corps was summoned and Mclaughlin was rushed to the Bridgeport hospital where he was on the road to recov- cry this morning.
 The near-asphyxiation was due to the fact that Mclaughlin turned the gas cock completely around in att tempting to put out the light. The result was that he turned the gas on after turning it off and flood of the poisonous fumes poured into his room.

 Thus began the Worcester move ment. Dr.. Overlook then developed chronic peripetitis-which means that he chased from one manufacturer to another, pointing out that even aside from the humanitarian motive, 1t was mal-economic to permit workers to die off for want of a little food, fresh air, and rest.
 Inside of six months 65 Worcester manufacturers had affixed their sig natures to the Overlook agreement" i" in which they bound themselves for a number of months to responsibility for the board and hospital expense of any case of tuberculosis develop ing in their factory. Also to begin a system of education, calculated to protect employees while at work, and display comprehensive rules for prophylaxis-or prevention-at home.
 Dr. Overlook has travelled all over the country advocating his life-saving plan, with the result that 1,200 estab- lishments have pledged themselves to the movement
 These agreements already throw a measure of protection around 2,o00.- 900 people, and like a snow-ban roll ing down hill the movement is gain ing impetus and dimensions.
 It was well done. Dr. Overlook may be proud of his achievement, for after all, nothing matters much except the conservation of the race. The thousands in the years to come who have ''had their chance" to es- cape the lingering fate of the tubu- cular-who have been restored to a life of usefulness and productive ac- tivity through the isavening instiga- ton of this hard working doctor will breathe his name as a. benedic- ton.

Dr. Melvin G. Overlook, of Wor- cester, Mass, is a b1g-bodied, big hearted man, who, like Abou Ben Adhem of old, wishes to be written down, "as one who loves his fellow man."
 He is the author of the Overlook Tuberculosis Agreement wherein manufacturers and factory owners pledge themselves to give a free course of sanitarium treatment to the incipient tuberculous among their employees.
 When Overlook was appointed State Inspector of Health for the Eleventh District in Massachusetts, he started to put some of his pet theories into effect. He realized that over 60 per cent. Of the tubercular cases in the early stages were cur able, providing that proper methods were employed. His labor it was to enlist the employment of these agen- CfcSs 4O tAAS SAA0 AA0 "OAAS AAAeO eAAS factories during the noon hour, and lectured to the operatives on the pre- vention of tuberculosis, for-as the Irishman would say-the best way to cure consumption is not to contract it.
 After his initial lecture, a frail young girl on whom the Grim Terror had fastened a tentacle, came to him to find out what could be done for her. Dr. Overlook saw that she was a curable case, if placed in proper environments. But that meant giving up her work. So, caught between the Scylla of destitution on one hand, and the Caryodis, of. consumption on the other. the future was indeed black for her. If she could have treatment for a while, she need not die. If she couldn't-well, it's a pitifully common story in this travesty on decency and justice which we are pleased to call civilization.
 But Overlook had an inspiration. He took his foot in his hand, and marched himself into the office of the president of the concern, stated
