N. M. Belden's Funeral.
A more impressive ofi‘ice than that of
Wednesday over the remains of the late
Nathan M. Belden of Wilton has rarely
been performed in this county. St.
Matthew’s church was filled from por-
tal to chancel with a congregation in
full soul accord with the solemnity of
the occasion, and a felt sense of the
great private and public loss that had
befallen the community was meet evi-
dent. The service so becoming such a
noble memory, was the simple, digni
fled ritual of the prayer book, during
tribute over the bier of the universally
honored and beloved deceased, on the
part of the Rev. Dr. Stocking of New
Jersey, was listened to in deep silence.
The rector of St. Matthews Was accom-
panied, clerically. by Revs. Dr. C. H.
Stocking, F. H. Barnett, James E.
Coley and C. M. Selleck. After the
interment the rector, wardens and
vestrymen met in the church, passed a
minute of respect, and took action look-
ing to the erection in the church of a
suitable memorial to the lamented de-
parted.
Nathan M. Belden was a descendant
of the cousin of the original Norwalk
John and Samuel Beldcn, by William
of Deerfield, Mass. His fore parents’
William and Margaret, were establish,-
ed in Wiltm parish at about the time
of the two cousins occupancy of the low
pr end of the two. The first Samuel
‘Bdflan was unmarried, so lhai the
cousins J ohn and William were the two
heads 91' the two distinct branches of
the Norw‘alk Belden family. From
John descended the John, Grace and
Henry Belden of West avenue, and
from William the Azor, Rev. David,
and recent Nathan M. Belden. who
during his life walk, from his college
to his closing days, has sustained the
lofty character of an able,faitht'ul, pure
minded citizen and christian.

To be sure the parks were open to the humble

For the cool and frothy lager and‘the juices

The Terrier and the Indestructible But.
A rat, a. terrier ands. small boy caused
thousands of people to congregate on
West Madison street about 9 o’clock one
evening last week, and it was not a real
rat, either.
The rat, which was a most natural
looking rubber affair, was connected
with along thin pipe and a. bulb. Every
time the boy squeezed the bulb the rat
would leap forward in a. most lifelike
manner and the ladies on the street
would shriek with terror and gather up
their skirts. This delighted the crowd,
which surged down on the boy and the
rat from every direction.
The fun was kept up for an hour or
more. even the policeman on the beat
stopping now and then fora good laugh.
Suddenly, however. a sleek looking rat
terrier ran into the crowd and made for
his mortal enemy. Down he pounced.
The boy gave the bulb a jab and the rat
leaped about six feet. Again the dog
made a spring. This time he caught the
rat inhis teeth and the pressure caused
it to give out a. most life like squeak.
'which delighted the (log and audience
alike.
By this time the street was packed.
Time after time the dog would shake
the rat and put it down. only to see it
leap again, to the wild delight of the
crowd. For the first half hour it Was
mere play to the pluck ' little terrier,
but after a while things began to grow
monotonous.
The dog lay down for a ”rest and the
rat jumped over him. This was too
much for canine flesh and blood to
stand;he leaped up again and now the
contest kept up until the dog fell to the
pavement from sheer exhaustion. Pant-
ing and with eyes protruding, he made a.
few more ineffectual snaps at the rubber
rat, then .urned over on his side and
- laid his he ~'l on the pavement.
His own. 1' worked his way through
the crowd, picked up his pet in his arms,
uttered a few remarks, and offered to
lick the man that killed his dog. . The
crowd jeered and dispersed, While the
small boy strolled down the street in
search of another am bitious rat catcher.

Rebuked by Hannibal Hamlin.
Mr. Hamlin was a true gentleman.-
Punctilious himself in the observance
intercourse, he was equally exacting of
every courtesy due‘ him from others.
He permitted no man to be rude to him,
or to assume the attitude of a superior.
On one occasion one of the able men
and leaders of the Senate, distinguished
for a. self-conscious, lordly air in his dos
portment, in the change of seats which
occurs once in two years in the Senate
chamber had gained a. seat by the side
of Mr. Hamlin, and began at once to
practice upon him those little exactions
and annoyances which he had been ac-
customed to impose upon others; After
a. few days of yielding to these encr‘oachx
ments, Mr. Hamlin turned. and life t’ono
that did not require repbtition said:
- “Sir, If you expect, to be tre’at'ed 3.1.9,,

And ‘iis Second Letter Given After He Had Made a.
Thorough Examination of the Sentinel Edition .
of Britannica.
w.
OWe submit here Dr. I unuing's first letter to THE SENTINEL, which is as follows:
SOUTH N OR-WALK, CONNJ, June 17, 1895.
Editor Evening Sentinel :——I have examined this new edition of this most complete
and exhaustive of all Encyclopedias, and regard it as now superior to all others in cheapness
and excellence. The new addition on American subjects thoroughly supplement this
original edition. Rev. Homer N. Dunning, D, D.
After this letter was written for the Sentinel the value of this cdiii‘iu of Britannica
was questioned by published opinions. The Sentinel then supplied Dr. Dunning with a
ccmplete set of our books, He has spent some time in making a tli rougu examination of
the set, and we now submit the following letter from him, which is a Hank expression of his
opinion at the present time. This should satisfy the most doubtful person, and if anything
0; a damaging nature should be said in the future of the Sentinel edition of Britannica it
should be lo:ked upon with suspici;n.
Editor Seniz'nel:—At your request I have made a fuller and more careful examine-’3
tion of this edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica, and I am confirmed in my former
impressions of its qualities. I have used the eighth and ninth editions of the original for
thirty years and of its excellence there is no question, and whatever deficiences exist between
this edition and the British edition seem t) me to be well supplied by the American addi-
tions, many of which are written by mm of l/zefirst authority in their several departments. 1
will add that a shadow of prejudice against this edition, which had been cast by some crit-
cisms I have read, has been removed by a closer examination. Anyone who acquires this
great worn which you are offering to your readers will find it an inexhaustible treasury of
knowledge. - - '
South Norwalk, July 8, 1895. Homer N. Dunning
After receiving the above the Sentinel, for its own satisfaction, asked Dr. Dunning
the following questions : ‘
“ Do you DOW consider this edition of Britannica of as much value as the original
Niu'frh Edition? He replied, " I do; and'l’ve practically said so in this letter."
“ Do you consider a condensed encyclopedia, in any form, of more value than this
new edition of Britannica to a family who owns but few books and who are unwilling or
unable to buy books on all topics?” .
1.1 reply 1..» this Dr. Dunning said : "' You may say that, in my opinion, the great ma-
jority of people would undoubtedly find the Encyclopedia Britannica by far the most valu-
able investment, especially if the condensed work was to cost an equal amount of money.”
