'tCaught on" to me one summer day,
And almost walked with me aWay2
The measles.
Ana when I grew to be kid,
And down the cellar door slid,
What made me sorry for what did?
A splinter.
And when to an urchin grew,
And thought I more than mother knew,
What made me think I'd 'broke in two ?''
Green apples.
When my pants had grown quite long,
And myself had grown quite strong,
What one day made me feel "quite wrong
A cigar.
And when sought my little bed,
And thought to rest my dizzy head,
Who thumped me till my face was red?
My mother.
And when was dandy clerk,
And clipped" girl knowing smirk,
Who fixed me so couldn't work?
Her brother.
And when I from my bed arose,
And once more tried to wear my clothes,
Who on to all my wages ''froze?"
The doctor.
And when swore it was a shame,
That he should all my gold dust claim,
Who buzzed me till my tears were lame?

The weather and santa cIaas.

The Weather and Santa Claus.
 The great and very sudden change in the weather furnished topic of the day Satur- day. From ..ethereal mildness'' to an at. mosphere within few degrees of zero was remarkable change. The several weeks of remarkably fine and spring like winter weather which this onslaught of winter ter minated was quite novelty, such weather at this season of the year being scarce article. Jack Frost touched up all the store windows in artistic style Saturday as if to assure peo- pie that winter was on hand after all, and that the reign of mild weather must ternnin- ate in season for a snowfall. Yesterdays milder weather brought few slight furries of snow. The Saturday night shopping and promenading was large despite the near ap- proach to zero weather which was in part owing no doubt to the Christmas display at the stores The merchants dealing in goods specially desirable for Christmas have general ly had fair trade, annd they apprehend that despite the dullness in manufacturing in some departments of business the trade will be a good one, as Christ mas comes but once year, and the old folks and young folks, the former catering to the eagerness of the young folks, mean to duly celebrate this grand annual fes- tivaI. The merchants anticipate also that the trade will be good one, as Christmas comes this year on Tuesday, allowing buyers to buy on Saturday night and also on Monday night, the general public thus having two pay day nights in which to do Christmas shopping Also if Saturday night should be stormy there will still remain Christmas eve for the shoppers,

Good SannarItanz

The Good Samaritans interested large audience at Peck's Grand Opera House last evening. Thomas orchestra furnished music. The singing by the North church choir was heartily encored. A short character sketch entitled 1.-The Old Mans Drunk Again'' was rendered by Mir. Henry Fechter and his son Master Charlie after which President Albee called for short speeches from the members of the society occupying the stage.
 MT. Frank Ludington said the character that had just been portrayed to the audience was not entirely new to some of the boys, as some of them had "been there" He made a stirring speech, in which he admonished the moderate thinker to reform. Another mem- Der who was called on said that some of the members were somewhat difident when called on for speech, but they were not formerly backward when asked to take drink.
 President Albee said if any of the wealthy citizens would contribute to their cause the pecuniary assistance would be gladly receiv- ed. He also stated that he was the holder of ticket that had been sold at fair and said if that ticket drew the two hundred dollars he would put every dollar of it into the tenn perance cause. Next Sunday evening Prof. Cyrus Northrop is expected to speak at the meeting at Peck's Opera House and delega- tion of the society will visit Fair Haven to organize Good Samaritan society. Later President Albee intends to organize a simi- lar society in Hamden. Fourteen persons signed the pledge last evenine.

Tha Fine Are Store.

While many stores in New Haven contain fine and artistic articles for sale, 1t will cer- tainly be acknowledged on all hands that Cut ler's is emphstically the fine art store. A short visit there fills the eye with more arti- cles of mention than we could enumerate in many columns of our issue, we therefore con- tent ourselves with mentioning very few and leave our readers to accept Mir. Cutters repeated invitations to lovers of art to visit his store freely and frequently. Among the notable articles received yesterday are a pair of wonderfully beautiful French porcelain vases valued at $500, 8 Royal Berlin vase at $50, several Hungarian fine works in real bronze at prices from $75 to $500 Among the bronzes is 8 magnif cent dog's head which MT. Cutler said he should place in his window to-day so that all the world might see it, even those who are too busy to go into the store and enjoy all the exhibition. There are also several very fine pictures on porcelain, fine display of Ber- lin brasses, collection of artistic lamps which it would require much space to de- scribe. The same good taste and judgment which Mf. Cutler has displayed in the selec- tion of his bronzss and brasses, Royal Wor- cester, CroSn Derby, Doulton and other falence wares, he has also shown in making up his fine stock of less expensive wares, so that his Amberina, Baccarat glass, Leeds pot tery, and many other wares are so attractive in design as not to suffer by the side of their richer neighbors. But we should fail of our duty to the public if we omit to mention the choice collection of enqravings, both framed and unframed, fine collection of etchings, the wonderfully attractive array of fine colored photographs framed in the richest and most artistic styles, and the pictures in bronze, ol perhaps we should say the bronze medal lions, which comprise many classical sub jects, and are framed in keeping with theil character. But we must refrain from fur ther mention and simply advise all our read CTS to visit and enjoy the display for them. selves.-Palladium, Dec. 15.

Death of Edwin A. Hotchkiss.

To large circle of friends the sad news yesterday caused surprise and real sorrow that Mir. Edwin A. Hotchkiss was no more Hin death was very sudden. He went out of town the day before on a short business trip and feeling quite ill while away hastened to return. Arriving home at about 4 p. m. Dr. filling was summoned and prescribed, and at that time there were no alarming symptoms. Later he grew critically i'll and despite all that could be done by medical skill and the tender ministration of loved ones he died at about half past four o'clock yesterday morn ing. The cause of his death appears to have been paralysis of the heart. He had not been feeling in his usual good health for a few days previous, but nothing serious was apprehended. The sudden and great change from mild to severe cold weather caused, it is believed, & congestive chill, which compli- cated the case. The deceased will be much missed and his death regretted. He was pos- sessed of refined nature and admirable qualities of mind and heart, and with an agreeable social nature and an unfaiIing fund of entertainment. He was ever welcome friend, guest and companion. Undemon- stratiye, kindly hearted and unassuming he did not seek public life and his pres ence and social qualities were enioy- able, especially to those who in the charmed circle of friendship knew him best MT. Hotchkiss was a native of this city, and ever a resident here. He was son of the late I. T. Hotehkiss, long promi- nent coal merchant here, who started in busi- ness in 1880. In 1860 the deceased with his brother, Mr. David T. Hotchkiss, engaged in the coal trade under the firm name of I. T Hotchkiss' sons. For the last four years the deceased had been the sole representative of the firm, the elder brother Dan retiring from active business. The deceased leaves 8 wife, a daughter of Mir. Joseph Parker, and two sons, Edwin A., who was with his father in the business, and Howard F., aged about 13 years. In their deep affiiction they will have the sympathy of the community.

Vale Mewa.

The annual Christmas praise service WAS held last evening in BatteIl chapel and was a great success. The chapel was crowded, not seat being vacant Fat quarter past seven o'clock. The hymns chosen were of the an- cient and threadbare variety, but were sung by the audience with an enthusiasm which at times made grand effect. Mir. F. B. Kel- logg, 'S3, gave violin solo which was much enjoyed, and Ksolos were sung by Msssrs. Jones and Tourteliot. The gem of the even. ing was the rendering of 'Infanmatus" by Mrs Robertson and double quartette. This was finely sung and gave great pleasure. Dr.. Barbour made few remarks appropriate to the Christmas season.
 Owing to the large additions recently made the college library has consi derably over flowed it's limits and the committee are talk. ing of adding second gallery to the Linonia and Brothers room.
 The collection for home missions taken up in the chapel last week amounted to three hundred and eighty-seven dollars

The Bethel Church.

 Opening Services m the Basemsnt-Need
 of Aid from NVealthy Denominations
 to Complete the Work.
 The basement of the African Methodist Episcopal Bethel church was opened for di- vine service yesterday for the first time since the attempt was made to build 8 new brick church. The society has obtained money sufficient to complete one story with 8 sub stantiaI slate roof, and in this they will wor- ship until they obtain the necessary funds to carry out the original plan, which will make the edifice when completed one story higher. The basement in which the people wor- shipped yesterday is large and eommodious, but it seems 8 pity that sufficient money could not have been raised to carry the walls up according to the original plan, leaving the inside work to be done at some future time. The society is one of the largest of the coIored Christian denominations in the city, although they are comparatively poor. It seems pity that they should for 8 moment poverty. little aid from the various churches in the city will enable them to com- plete the temple and give them assuitable place for worship. Yesterday morning, af- ternoon and evening there was preaching in the basement by Rev. T. s. Johnson, of Or aDR6, IN. d., ana Qu1L0 nD0ra1 COQGE1OuLIOue were made to the enterprise. The basement of the church, although yet incomplete, pre- sents comfortable and homelike appearances and seemed to be appreciated by the people who for so many months have been without a church home.
 Good Work by the Salvation Army.
 The Salvation Army will have to hire g larger hall if their meetings continue to at
 tract such increasingly large crowds as have
 visited their ''barracks'' on Union street during the last few nights. Last evening th6 crowd filled the hall, the lobby, the stairway and the sidewalks for several rods away. The young bIoods who were looking more fol
 amusement than for salvation made so much
 disorder that word was telephoned to the police station for an officer to come down and compel the disorderly to move along. The Army held no meetings on the State House steps yesterday. When asked if they intended to parade and hold meetings on the Green next week an officer of the Army said laughingly, 'Yes, I presume VIC shall; we might as well be ar rested as not The chief won't keep us up there great while; we make too much noise for them. When we were up there Dick Moore came up and told us if we didn't stop we should be locked IF in cells. With the Lord on our side we shall come ont all right" Several converts went forward last night. The meeting was pro longed until after 10 o'clock. The two theo logical students who were arrested with thE Army were in the hall working,
