Hartford and ManufacturinK.

Yesterdays Hartford Post says: Those who have in charge the reception of pledges for the stock of the proposed Hartford En- gineering company report that applications have been received for about $165, ,0OO of the $20O, 900 which must be taken to secure the establishment of the business. This sum includes $1O,000 taken this morning The remaining amount $35, 1000, should certainly be taken during this week. The starting of a manufacturing establishment that will give employment to 400 or 500 men is too impor- tant a matter to be neglected and lost to the city through indifference on the part of those who will share in the general benefits result ing from large new industry or by capital jsts who are looking for an investment.

Church Fair.

The fair of the Church of the Messiah, at the Atheneum, attracted hall full of people. The attendance was large until late, and much enjoyment was furnished. At o'clock everything was in full blast. The Mother Goose quadrille had just been completed, executed in spirited manner, the party of ladies and gentlemen executing it being at- tired in rich and regal costumes, rendering their parts with great success. The audience were eager for it's repetition. Some first-class vocal talent was included in the cast. Mir. Conley oficiated at the piano and MT. Waas upon the violin, and of course excellent mu- sic was provided by these gentlemen Later came fine orchestral music, which agi- tated many of the young people present into terpsichorean state of mind Among the features exciting much interest are the vot- ing for the most popular man for Mayor and the most popular physician. Efficient box tenders are provided who may be relied upon for an honest count. The use of money is not prohibited in carrying the contest, and the strife will probably wax warm before the fair closes on Saturday night. There was a loud call for the repetition of the Mother Goose Quadrille.

 Prof. Sumner lectured yesterday morning on the National bank during 1931-3 In 1881 money was easy, but in the following year there was tight money market Some said it was owing to the way the bank con- ducted it's business. Both the presidential campaign and the cholera that swept over the country during that year injured business Dallas, of Pennsylvania, petitioned Congress for a renewal of the banks charter. Ques- tion arose how many members of Congress were biased in favor of the bank by being personal stockh elders or from having re- ceived accomm odations from the bank A long list of charges were brought forward by the enemies of the bank. The reply said that the charges were either untrue or frivo- lous Afterwards the managers were proven guilty of doing everything charged and even to disgraceful extent. The granting of the charter was made party issue during the campaign of 1882. The Democrats opposed the charter and the Wings favored it, as Clay though: by SO doing he might be elected. The whole thing shows the folly of mixing up pol itics and banking.
 Prof. Wheeler lectured last evening on the struggle for Greek independence that began in 1921. This was the most popular of all revolutionary dramas of the period, because of the high civilization of the Greeks in clas- sical ages, and because all other countries realized what debt they iowed Greece on this account. This evening Prof Wheeler will lecture on England from 1920 to 1889.
