Represented 1'lint Ho Is the Son of
Rev. Air. Uurroll, ot New York.
A young man of pleasant address has
been circulating during the week
among gentlemen prominent In church
work In the city asking for small
loans to help him tide over a tempor
ary financial crisis. Ho represented
that ho Is a son of Rev. David James
Burrell, pastor of Marble Collegiate
Reformed church of New York and in
some instances succeeded In getting
money.
One of the places he visited wns the
residence of Rev. Dr. McLeod, pastor of
the First Presbyterian church. Dr.
McLeod was not at home and the
young man made his appeal to Mrs,
Mol-pod. She Is acquainted with Rev.
Mr. Burrell and the members of his
family and at once charged her caller
with being an lmposter. He took his

Social
IS and gj
I Persoeal f
The event of Easter week will be tho
concert by tlio Ynle Glee and Banjo
clubs. The Easter recess is brief with
regard to Its social possibilities as
there nro but two evenings for the col
lege men and maidens to enjoy their
homecoming In the way of entertain
ments. Owing to -tlio fact that Mr.
and Mrs. E. J. Bennell will give a
coming-out party for Miss Bennell on
Easter Monday nlrht it has been de
cided to luive tho assembly at tho Bi
cycle club on Tuesday night, after the
Ynlo concert. Thus the visiting- men
will practically bo given a reception
and dance, whllo the assembly will re
ceive additional attraction by their
prc-soncc.
At Yale there Is perhaps no more
popular undergraduate organisation
th'an tho Glee and Banjo club. To be a
member of this organization is, in the
minds of many students, to reach the
zenith of collegiate ambition. Every
undergraduate who can hunt an air or
strum a. banjo or tinkle a guitar hopes
some day to have his ambition realized
and secure one of the coveted posi
tions. Thero is untold pleasure and
enjoyment to be had from the trips
which the club makes, and certain hon
or and distinction goes with member
ship In the club.
Tho selection of members of the or
ganization is mode with the greatest
care by competitive examinations of
applicants from all parts of tho Uni
versity thereby keeping the club up to
a very high standard. Both organiza
tionsforming one dub are under the
direction of competertt professional
musicians, th'e gentleman who directs
the Gleo club having held that position
for over twenty years. Immediately
after the clubs aro completed rehear
sals begin and continue with the In
domitable perseverance that Is so
characteristic of Yale, until the men
are perfect in their parts.
The Monday Morning club has Issued
Invitations to an Illustrated lecture
"From Lexington to Yoiktown" to bo
given by Mr. W. W. Ellsworth, the ac
eomplished speaker, Thursday evening,
March 21, at tho Bicycle club. The
Monday Morning club has been for
some time devoting its attention to
Aii'brican history, having adopted that
line 'of reading several months before
tho general fad for this topic swept
over the reading clubs of America and
evolved an enlarged edition of Daugh
ters of the American Revolution, Col
onial Dames et al. The club members
are: Mrs. R. W. Archbald, Mrs. W.
TL Busll, Mrs. Alfred Hand, Mrs. Rog
ers Israel, Mrs. E. S. Moffat, Mrs. J.
A. Price, Mrs. C. E. Robinson, Mrs. W.
W. Scranton, Mrs. M. L. Blair, Mrs. A.

Just now the members of the Coun
try club feel more or less afflicted ac
cording to their several abilities In the
way of being expert in dodging loco
motives while playing golf. If the
proposed connection of the Erie and
Wyoming with the Ontario and West
ern railroad Is completed tho beautiful
links of the Country club will bo irre
parably injured. Tho track as recently
surveyed will run between the first and
second trees. Tho result will probably
be that the course will be carried
further back, while that now used In
front, near the proposed site of the
railway, will bo abandoned.
The Chautauqua circle of the Young
Women's Christian association, Mrs. H.
J. Curr, leader, has Issued Invitations

Buffalo, the secretary of the Chautau
qua movement,- will be present. The

ent members of six different circles,
Vincent, Anthracite, Cora A. Howe,

will be a most pleasant occasion and
will be attended by a large number of
prominent people of the city.

Paine's Celery Com-poiirxd.
Few men In this country who have
lived to "clear the eight-barred gate

fewer go over," have enjoyed more of
tho blessings of a long, active, well
spent lifn than Patrick A. Donahoe,
the founder of the Boston Pilot.
In every city, village and hamlet
throughout the several states and ter
ritories of the fnlon, where the Irish
American people have settled, the name
of Patrick Donah'oo is spoken with re
spect, admiration and afleotlon.
More than halt a century ago Mr.
Donahoe established tho Pilot. In 1S70
he engaged John Boyle O'Reilly, who
was its brilliant editor for twenty
years.
To every good cause and to every
charity he has lieen a generous sub

Three-fourths of nil the aches and
pains and disabilities that aged per
sons suffer from arise plainly from re
garded circulation. The slow blood
stream gets choked with an accumu
lation of waste matter that declares its
presence In twinges of rheumatism,
lumbago, neuralgia and Inability to
sleep. All these unnatural conditions
can be corrected and permanently done
away with by vigorously cleansing the
'blood and regulating the tardy circu
lation. Paine's celery compound Is
pre-eminently capable of doing this be
yond any oth'er remedy.
There Is nothing vague about the sort
of "good health" that Is promised by
Paine's celery compound nnd vouched
for by men and women who have used
It. It means, among other things,
firmer nerves, completer digestion,
sweeter breath and more regular bodily
functions. Paine's celery compound
secures these whero other remedies

FUNERAL OF MISS THOMPSON.
Service wore Conducted nt Croen
Illdgn Epincopitl Church.
The funeral of Miss Emma A. Thomp
son was; held yesterday at 2 o'clock at
the Green Ridge Episcopal church.
Rev. F. S. Ballentlne, assisted by Rev.
Rogers Israel, conducted the service.
The departing of one who has been so
useful In tho community deserves more
than passing notice. When tho Green
Ridge Public library was founded Miss
Thompson took charge of the work and
ever since has had entire management
of the institution as librarian. Her In
terest in tho work was marked from
.tho first and has never failed, and her
patience and genial way endeared her
to the young people who spent their
evenings at the library building.
Before the Albright library was
opened to the public Miss Thompson
had much to do In tho preparations

Is the discovery of a great physician,
who know nil that the school and text
books could teach him, but more than
.that, he knew sick men and women,
as few physicians In any age have
known them. Prof. Edward E. Phelps,
M. D LL. D of the Dartmouth medi
cal school, wns able to drive out disease
from the system, because he knew
where tho disease was lodged and how
to help tho excretory organs, Instead of
confusing thorn as so many illogical
remedies tlo In their effort to cleansa
the blcod, Paine's celery compound
encourages and strengthens the kid
neys, nnd enables them to cleanse tho
blood of Its waste, poisonous matters
that are the direct cause of drowsiness,
llstlessness.melancholla, blood diseases,
wasting sicknesses, headaches and that
general "run down" condition that
opens the door to definite organic dis
eases of the heart, kidneys or stomach,
especially when a person is advanced
In years and no longer possessed of the
abundant energy that characterizes
youth alone.
Paine's celeiy compound makes tho
bleed a bright red color, increases its
volume In tho arteries and quickens itsr
circulation, und enables a nerve-tired,
person to sleep eight or nine hours at
a stretch. Every man or woman
whoso nervous strength Is at all over
taxed, or whose life is a busy one in
many directions, will feel the Invigorat

edge ot books and library methods.
And since that time she has been a
regular employe of that institution.
Her days were spent here ot late, tho
reading room being under her charge,
and at night she was always to be
found at her desk at the Green Rldgo
library.
There are few to be found so devoted
to any work as she was to hers. Her
success In interesting the young people
In reading and in tho better class of,
literature was marked; and the knowl
edge of this success was to her a sourco
of great joy.
At the funeral Mr. Carr, librarian of
the Albright library, and the trustees
of the Green Rldgo library acted as
pall-bearers.
Tho hlsli esteem in which Mls3
Thompson was held by friends and her
associates in the work was evidenced
by tho profusion of wreaths and llowers
that hid the casket from view.
This certainly can be said: "If faith-,
fulness is a condition of reward, her
reward will be a large one."
