Changes inCongress.
Since the Fifty-third Congress was
elected there have been a total of
twenty-nine changes in the member-
ship 'of the House, eleven of them
caused by death, three by removals
as the result of election contests, and
sixteen by resignations. O’Ferrall
and Oates were elected Governors
respectively of Virginia and Alabama.
Brawley, of South Carolina, and Payn-
ter, of Kentucky, have been elected to
judical positions; Fellows was elected
district attorney of New York, and
Black was appointed attorney for the
Northern district of Illionois. Mitchell,
of Wisconsin; Lodge, of Massachu-
setts; Blanchard, of Louisiana ; Wil-
Son of Washington, and Burrows,
of Michigan, were elected to the
Senate, as was also ‘Gear, of Iowa,
whose term begins next March. C. R.
Breckinridge has been sent as ambassa-
dor to Russia, and Caldwell, of Ohio,
has been elected Mayor of Cincinnati.
The remainder of those who resigned
have been provided with places elective
and appointive. The large number of
changes is said to be almost without
precedent in the history of Congress.

The Trolleys in a Blizzard.
The electric surface railways could
scarcely have been subjected to a
severer test than was furnished by the
storm of last- week, which was hardly
excelled in severity by the famous bliz
zard of March, 1888. In all fairness it
must be admitted that they stood this
severe test extremely well, completely
demonstrating-the superiority of elec—
tricity as a motive power in a driving
winter storm to either horses or cables.
It is true that cars were run at longer
intervals than usual, but it is quiet as
true thatthe companies kept their lines
open all night and that there was a
general resumption of travel early in
the day notwithstanding the high winds
and drifting snow, which blocked the
steamfrailway lines in all sections of
the country. '
Having stood the test of the worst
snowstorm in many years, electric trac-
tion Amay-beiaccepted as having come
to stay, and it only remains to secure
and apply the best safeguards against
accidents by collision with other
vehicles and pedestrians to render it
tie ideal method of cheap transit. Be-
fore leaving the subject a word should
be said in praise of the heroic motor-
men who stood at their posts braving .
frost and discomfort that the means of
transportation might be afforded to the
public. Such heroic-endurance is not
only worthy of the highest praise, but
should be rewarded by the trolley
companies by the adoption of some
method of reducing the exposure to
frost and storm to a minimum.

The Best Kind of Monument.
Among the personal items floating in
the daily press is the statement that——
“Peter B. Brigham is the name of the man
to whom Eoston will be indebted for a $3,000,-
0)0 hospital.” .
Boston is much indebted to the gen-
erosity of a few of the many business
men who have accumulated great wealth
in that city, but none of them has made
provision for a nobler monument to his
memory than the hospital that will be
erected, equipped, and supported by
the proceeds of a fund devised for that
purpose by the late Peter B. Brigham,
a native of Vermont, who reached Bos-
ton a penniless boy and made a fortune
by operating in real estate. Mr. Brig-
ham died eighteen years ago, leaving
$1,000,000 for this charity, directing
that it be allowed to remain at interest
for twenty-five years. The amount of
the fund is now $2,500,000, with seven
years to run, at the end of which time
it will be $3,000,000.
The late John Hopkins of Baltimore,
left at his death 83, 500,000 for a hospi-
tal, besides an equal amount for an
institution of learning. These are, we
believe, the largest bequests for hospi‘
tal purposes that have been made in
the United—States; but many men, and
some women, have given large
sums in the same direction. It seems
to us that, of all good uses to which
money can be put. none is more com-
mendable than this. It ought to be
possible for the sick—especially those
who are unable to pay for the best care
and attendance—4.0 get better treatment
than is now available in most- cities. As
we get on toward the end of the nine:
teenth century of Christianity we ought
to be able to do away with the very
marked distinctions that obtain be-
tween the rich and the poor in public
hospitals. It is impossible in the walks
of life—it always hasbeen and always
will be imposible—to have equal con
ditions for rich and poor. But a pub-
lic hospital is the one l'place' where
poverty should be placed at the “least
possible disadvantage. It would be an
honor to any city to be known as the
place where the sick, moneyless stran-
ger o; residentwas sure of all the care.
all the attention, all the advantages
that money could buy, .

The Difference
In New Britain the Sunday liquor law
has been frequently evaded by having
a temporary bar in the cellar. In New
Haven the attic seems t9 be the favorite
place. In Norwalk there is no neces-
sity for either attic or cellar being
used. '

Police Gymnastics.
The New Haven board of police com-
missioners are considering a plan of
making gymnastics compulsory for
members of the police force. Just
imagine Chief Bradley doing a trapeze
a t, John Kenney a pole jump, Wallace
ann turning somersaults, or William
Bartram doing a running high jump
with any degree of success.

Full Damages Awarded.
Judge Curtis of the court of common
pleas Tuesday handed down a decision
in the case of Sarah Rosenberg of
Stamford against Edward W. Holt also
of that place, awarding her $1,000 and
costs. This was the full amount sued
for. Mrs. Rosenberg claimed that on
October 1, 1803, and while in a delicate
condition, she was kicked and assaulted
by Holt.
Couldn’t Read.
Ada Adams a 14 year old Bridgeport
girl who could not read sentences com-
posed of words of only one syllable, and
with but little knowledge of what per-
sonal cleanliness means, has been
transferred to the County Home in this
city. The only excuse given for her
condition by her mother was that she
was needed about the house to assist in
caring for the children and doing the
housework

Wilton Not Thirsty.
It is reported that there are seven
places in which intoxicants are sold in
“no licenSe” Wilton. Some of the tax-
payers think that if the selling is to
continue the town better be licensed so
that a pecuniary benefit would be de-
rived. Prosecuting agent Honnecker
it is said, knows of the sale,*but claims
a complaint being made to him.

Hostile to Consolidation.
The oystermen are up in arms over
the Senate bill which proposes the cre-
ation _of. a board of Fish and Game
commissioners, and have called a meet-
ing to be held in Room 10, Insurance
building, New Haven, at 2 p. m. to—
day, to decide upon some plan for
action, looking towards the defeat of
the bill. One of the most prominent
growers says that the scheme is to con-
solidate .the Shell Fish and the Fish
commisSions.
The Shell Fish commission is now
supported entirely by taxes laid on the
oystermen. The receipts last year ex-
ceeded the disbursements by $6,134.46,
whereas it is necessary for the state to
make an annual appropriation for the
support of the Fish commission. The
oystermen contended that if the two
commissions were consolidated they
would practically have to support them
both, and to this they most strenuously
object. -
At the meeting this afternoon, in‘
New Haven, a committee will be ap-
pointed to oppose the bill when it
comes up for a hearing before the
Fisheries committee, Tuesday next.
The following committee of oyster-
men appeared before that committee in
Hartford, Tuesday afternoon in sup.-
port of‘the Judson Oyster bill relating;

A Sad Case.
'A nurse has been engaged to care for

will not be taken to the Town Farm
where a room had been specially pre-
pared for her reception. It seems that
Miss Kellogg has not been in her right
mind for some months past. She ”has
relatives in Norwalk who immediately
came forward as soon as they learned
of her afiliction. She is a woman of
rare attainments and an artist of un-
usual ability, and a woman who has
ample pecuniary means.

fore it could become a law. J. Belden

Fierce COlellJlthil Urges Men'and

Nerves land‘Braln First Give Way
Under the Terrific Strain.
Men die in the big cities like the
trees, beginning at the top. '
It is apoplexy, heart failure, nervous
prostration. shock, congestion 'of the
brain and suicide that characterizes the
mortality lists in the great centers of
population.
A city teaches one to think quickly,
to be always on the alert and quick to
avoid danger, as well as to see the
lucky chances. It is impossible to go
slowly even if one has no pressing need
for hurry. The rush is contagious.
One finds himself drawn along by the
rapidly moving crowds and is soon
hurrying with the rest It is undoubt
edly true that two-thirds of all the men
and women one sees tearing through
the streets are in no such actual haste.
They are merely victims of this fearful
habit of hurry. ‘ .
But ' whether the fearful rush is
essential or not, the result is the same.
Nerves and brains are exhausted, men
and women grow prematurely aged,
times of depression follow: the high-
strung condition. The entire nervous
system must be rapidly and fully
nourished to prevent gutter prostration
and collapse. It is estimatedbi’bhysi-
maps that Paine’s ,cel‘ery compound
annually saves thousands upon thou-
sands of men and women liv1ng in cities
from breaking down under their work.
It builds up the substance of the
nerves and brain faster than it is torn
down by even snob prodigal waste. It
cures permanently all weakness‘of the
stomach, liver and kidney’s, and takes
away any tendency of these vital organs
to disease.

A Big English Syndicate “rill Buy the
Elgln and Waltham‘ Works.
CHICAGO, Feb. 13.——The‘ Times says:
The .Elgin National Watch company of El-
gin, 1115., and the Waltham Watch com-
pany of Walt-ham, Mass, will in the near
possession of a. British syndicate. The val-
uation of the two properties is $16, 000, 000,
of which amount $9,000,000 goes to the
credit of the Elgin company and $7,000..—
000 to the Waltham concern.
This sale to a British syndicate and con-
sequent consolidation was on the point of
being completed last summer. but failed
owing» to the disturbed condition of . in-
dustry and finance. An option was secured
at that time, but the British investors were
cautious and preferred to lose the profit
rather than run the risk of a. large invests
ment at a. time when many Europeans be-"
of financial ruin and social revolution. ,
Negotiations were renewed at once. how-
ever, and~havc progressed so far that there
is today on deposit in the national .banks
in Chicago the sum of $200,000 to bind the
bargain and secure the promoters’ commis-
sions, and a corresponding sum is in a
bank in Boston.
The Elgin and Waltham factories turn
out about 85 per. cent of the total product
of watch movements in the United States,
more than half of. that amount being pro-
duced by the Elgin works, which employ
about 3,000 hands.
A MINISTER’S UNIQUE PLAN.
He Illustrated a Sermon by Giving Exhi-
bitions of lValtzing. .
OAKLAND, Cal, Feb. 13.—The spectacle
presented of a minister using his pulpit
to illustrate‘the innocence of the waltz is
one that has given rise to considerable
comment in religious circles in this city‘.
The Rev. Edward Davis, pastor of the
Christian _church, who, danced through a
sermOn to exemplify the harmlesSncss of
the amusement, is a young man who has
some strikingly original ideas as to'the
,bcst methods of proclaiming the gospel.
The Rev. Davis says he is not at all heter-
odox and disclaims, moreover, that 1he is
a. mere notorietyseeker, employing sensa-
tional methods to draw crowds and win
dubious popularity; '~His purpose-is, he
said, first of all. to preach the simple gos-
pel of Christianity. But he dislikes the
effort and questions the efficacy of preach;
ing to empty seats, as he.did thefirst Suns
day he appeared 'in Oakland. .. SC-he gave
a. representation of the waltz and other de-
scriptive dances. His representations are
ated much amusement'among the more
ungodly of the flock. Generally the drift
of his remarks was in favor of dancing.
