THE serious illness of Secretary
Manning has led to an investigation
of the sanitary condition Of the treas
ury building, and startling state of
affairs was revealed. Seven pipes
were found clogged withdebris which
had not been cleaned for ten years,
and breaks in the pipes admit much
foul air into the building. An APP
preparation of 500, OOOhas been asked
for, to be used in ventilating the
building and improving its sanitary
condition. More than 1000 persons
are regularly employed in the build
ing.

Bible Talks-Desire for Three Weeks
 at Christmas The Yale Banner To-
 Day-Kent Club The Presidents
 Receptton-Dr McCOsh on Athletics.
 The Rev. MT. Clark repeated his talk on the Bible and Bible study last evening in Dwight Hall, and notwithstanding the severe inclemency of the weather large number attended.
 Owing to the storm of yesterday morning ex-President Porter was unable to hear his class as he had expected to, but will proba- bly, renew his recitations this morning. The examination schedules were dis tributed yesterday morning.
 A private german was given by '86 gradu- ates in Loomis' last evening and was much enjoyed by all present. It was led by E. c. Lambert '86.
 A large number of men in college, espe- of the Christmas recess being heightened to three weeks in order that they may spend the holidays at home. The faculty will probably decide upon it's suitability at their next meeting.
 The Yale News of yesterday suggests that register be placed in Dwight Hall in order that we may know who are our visitors.
 The Banner will appear without fail on the campus this morning. It is one of the
 finest editions ever published and ought to receive the hearty support of all. It is sell ing for the unusual low price of 75 cents.
 At meeting of the Kent club next Friday evening there will be instead of the usual de- bate parliamentary session, which was to have been heldlast Friday.
 The president and Mrs. Dwight will give reception to the seniors this evening at their residence, 126 College street, from 8 until il o'clock. This is the presidents first reception and will probably be well attended.
 President McCosh of Princeton college has sent the following letter to the presidents of the different colleges:
 We are now in a Hull between the games Of 1886 and 1887. We have leisure to look back the crisis. It is time to meet it if we are to keep up the character of our colleges in the view of par ents and the community generally, and to make them places of high education where cultivated the colleges on the eastern seaboard should come to an understanding with each other. It is their duty at present not to reflections each oth CT, but to unite to correct the abuses which have on holidays, where we are in danger of having all the evils of our horse races, with their jockeying, their betting and drinking. venture to suggest that the colleges interested meet by repre- sentatives and agree some simple restrictions which will admit of our receiving al the benefits which may be had from manly exercises, of which I propose that Harvard, as the oldest of ber be invited to take the lead in this matter and call us together, and I for one will feel bound by the decision come to.

WHERE TO HAVE HIT.
Citizens Talking About The Subject O The Location of The City's COmin If

Citizens Talking About The Subject of
 The Location of The City's Coming
 Free Library.
 Since the city voted to establish 8 free public library independent of the Institute,
 the question as to how and where it should
 be located has occupied the attention of
 many of our leading citizens. Ex-Alderman
 John c. Bradley, cashier of the Merchants' National bank, was interviewed by @ COURIER reporter yesterday and suggested the following plan: t'The landSu pon which the Insurance building stands is owned by Trinity church. This land the city should condemn and obtain by right of eminent do- main. This could be done at an expense of about $1 1000 per front foot, or $100, ,000 in all. The building could then be bought from the present owners for about $50, 900. To cover the expense bonds bearing interest at per cent. should be issued by the city. Whatever room is necessary could be used for library purposes and the re- l mainder leased to responsible parties as at present. The building rents at present for | nearly $19, 900, and estimating the interest on the $150, 900 issue of bonds at three per cent. as $4 800 and the expense for care and
 maintenance of the building as at present would leave a net balance of about $4, 800
 
 haps used for the support of the library. If the surplus is put into the sinking fund, in the course of twenty or twenty-five years the fund would be sufficient to extinguish the principal of the bonds issued. By this plan the city would become possessed of a substantial and valuable property exceptionally we'll situated at abso-
 lutely no expense and without inficting
 hardship upon anyone. A library second to none in any city of this size would be ob
 tained without burden to the taxpayers.
 Eventually all of the upper part of the build
 ing would come into use, either for library
 purposes or as reading rooms, while the rest
 of the store would go far toward It's support"
 A plan substantially similar to this sug- gested by MT. Bradley was suggested by ex- Mayor Lewis at the time of the sale of the Insurance building to the syndicate. The plan as detailed by Mr. Bradley was very favorably received by one of the present leading Aldermen and by other gentlemen who heard it detailed.

. HearfIess Cruelty

1t is to delude poor sufferer into the belief that some worthless iniment will cure rheu- matism and neuralgia. Honesty is the best policy in the manufacture of proprietary ar- ticles as in all other matters, and the fact that the proprietors of Athlophoros have never claimed for it even all its merit would
 warrant has not 8 little to do with it's won-
 derful popularity, and the thousands of
 grateful testimonials received by them show
 that their policy has been wise as well as right.
 Experience has amply demonstrated that
 mere outward applications are worthless.
 The disease has its seat in the blood, and
 any remedy to be successful must deal with
 the obstructive acid which poisons and in- flames it.
 Athlophoros acts on the blood, muscles
 and joints directly. It takes the poison out
 of the blood and carries it out of the system;
 it invigorates the action of the muscles and
 limbers the stiffness of the joints. It reach
 es the liver and kidneys, cleansing them
 from irritating substances, and, if followed up after the rheumatic conditions cease, it will restore these organs to regularity and health.
 PENNINGTON, Conn. You ask # am cured of rheumatism by the use of AthlophoIos. When first tried it was afflicted in my knees. They were badly swollen and I suffered great deal of pain. Three doses began to take effect, and | used two bottles when the pain left, the l swelling and stiffness disappeared and has never returned. About a year later my shoulder troubled me; took one bottle and | was cured of that and have not had rheuma- | tism since. I recommended it's use to one 1 or two neighbors who tried it and were re- lieved. MRS. MARY s. HART.
 Every druggist should keep Athlophoros and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
 not be bought of the druggist the Athlophor- ! os Co.,, 112 Wall st., New York, will send either Carriage paid) on receipt of regular | price whichis $1 per bottle for Athlophoros and soc for Pills.
 For liver and kidney diseases, dyspepsia indiges ton, weakness nervous debility, diseases of wo men, constipation, headache, impure blood, &c Athlophoros Pills are uneQualed.

 The idea of having steamer No. 5, of the New Haven fire department, placed at the call of the borough in case of need is quite popular, and is being pushed by large number of citizens.

But greater scowge than ignorance is now running ails you when you have dull headache no appetite; nothing tastes good that you eat specks pass before your eyes; low spirits; an irritable and peevish temper; bowels con- stipated; an appearance of red or white brick dust in the urine; tired feeling and don't know what ails you?

Oxford.

OXFORD, Dec. 7.-About three years ago I took passage for New York at New Haven on 8 midnight steamboat. About 8 o'clock 8. m. man without coat or vest, hatless and shoeless, took the berth next under me. Waiting little later called to him to hand me divers articles of my wearing apparel which could but be somewhat in his way. He kindly responded to my call. Remain ing not over restful in my place looked over and down to see that he from behind the curtains was looking up and down the room as if anxious to leave his berth Soon ke left, moving crouchingly and hurriedly for other quarters. About 6 o'clock a. m overheard 8 group of persons about to leave the boat say that three dollars had been taken from one passenger and ten from another. I said nothing, only too thankful that was still possessor of my. gold watch and pecketbook. It was my impression at the time that stealing from the passengers was more common than reported. I state my narrow escape from thieving villain and report what heard three years ago, be- cause of the stealing reported in the COURIER of yesterday as occurring on one of the New Haven and New York steamboats. The want on these boats is night watch on duty and so vigilant as to render it impossible for a thief to go the rounds of the berths and through the pockets of the sleepers.
