The Needs Of The Hospital.

It is remarkable that although twelve pa tients have recently been transferred from the New Haven hospital to the Fitch Home at Noroton and to the Bridgeport hospital, their places have been quickly taken, and the institution still has one hundred and twenty patients This shows plainly how rapidly the demands for hospital treatment increase with the efficiency of the services rendered. The present building is at present taxed to it's utmost capacity in spite of the opening of the hospital at Bridge port, which it was thought might relieve institution. It is to be hoped that the urgent necessity for new ward will be appreciated by citizens, and that they will take ad- vantage of Hospital Saturday and Sunday not merely to put their customary contribution in the box, but to give something substantial for the especial purpose of providing for a new ward. It is estimated that S6, ,500 would give additional accommodation for twenty two patients, and it certainly ought not to be difficult in city like New Haven to raise that amount of money when so much can be accomplished by it.

A Young Thief Detected Through An
 Advertisement.

Adam Smearoff, aged eleven, found Mrs Charles H. Farnam's pocketbook the other day and kept the $50 he found in it. He showed the prize to Max Cohen. an employe of filings drug store. Cohen had seen the advertisement in the COURIER describing the pocketbook and at once recognized it. He left word at the COURIER office and Mr. Far nam was immediately notified. The case was put in Detective Brewers hands, who, upon learning the facts, sought out young Smearoff and arrested him. He stout1y de- nied the charge, and when near the police office made a sudden bolt and started to run away. His short legs were inadequate to compete with the detectives long ones. When captured he begged to be let go, at the same time handing over the pocketbook. When recovered there was $9 missing. The young lad refused to say anything about it any further than that he had given the miss ing money to friend of his. He will appear in the City court this morning.

NHERIDEN DON,T PAY.

Its Office Of Mayor Not A Sinecure.
 Meriden, which has become quite a big little city, pays it's Mayor no salary, and whoever is favored with that office generally finds himself about $500 out of pocket be- fore his yearly term is expired He is ex- pected to contribute to all the calls of chari- ty, to buy tickets for all the local shows and fairs, take care of the boys, help shoulder election expenses, take stock in the new local enterprises, take a pecuniary interest in the target shoots and do the handsome thing generally.
 New Haven, it is claimed by an old ob server, commenced paying it's Mayor salary when not as large as Meriden is to-day. The first Mayor, if our informants memory served him right, received the princely salary of $200. But then there were not many Big Ten sociables in those days and less ways to become popular, and ward politics were not expensive

JACOB MOORE,s STORY.
How He DOdged The Officers Who Were Logging Him-Hiding In Two Closets.

How He Dodged The Officers Who
 Were Logging Him-Hidfng In Two
 Closets.
 The man who delivered himself up to the police Monday night with the remark that he had got tired of having the police after him, Jacob Moore, was as chipper as young spar row in the prisoners pen in the City court yesterday. Jacob seems bent on keeping up his spirits and is game as the famed raven of Barnaby Rudge. He even went so far as to throw kiss at the men he shot on Christ mas night, William Lynn and "Bub" Jones.
 Ex-Judge Blydenburgh appeared for the prisoner and asked for a continuance on the ground that he had no time to look into the case He asked that the bond for his clients appearance be made as low as possible for the reason that the prisoner intended to stand trial and if he had not so intended he never would have given himself up.
 The court finally decided to continue the case until next Monday and placed Moore under $500 bonds.
 Moore tells the history of the affair as fol lows: 'ELynn fired the first shot at me that night and I fired back in self-defense. We had some words in Meyers saloon, and just after Lynn and Bub Jones left the place also went out Then Lynn turned and fired at me. Bub Jones tried to prevent him from doing so and in the struggle with him received that flesh wound on his neck which he claims inflicted. I had no pistol with me when Lynn fired, but a man named Wood, an ex-letter carrier, slipped revolver into my hand and I fred can substantiate the truth of this statement by many good witnesses, but I understand that Wood has skipped from town. After the shooting I walked down to the corner of Ashmun street and got glass of beer. Then I went to my home No. 80 Eaton street, and have been there ever since, and saw every officer that came into the house to search for me. Sometimes I was so near them that I could feel their breath on my face. There are two closets in that house that I used to good advantage. I kept in concealment because some of my friends told me that they were trying to settle the case out of court. When learn ed that this was not possible I gave myself up.'
