NEW HAVEN CITY COURT.

Representative Wolfe succeeded in getting 8 reconsideration to-day on the bill providing that judges of the City court shall be resi- dents of New Haven. The vote was 1OS to Il.
 Haven to issue park bonds.
 The "hen bill" was passed after some hu- morous debate in which it was suggested that cats and dogs be included in the provisions. LESSON ON HOMEOPATHY. The hearing on the petition for a charter for Grace Homeopathic Hospital and an ap- propriation of $75, 900 was continued before the committee on interpretations this after noon.
 The cross examination of Dr. 0. B. Adams was resumed. The doctor explained that the true intent of homeopathy was not the narrowed matter that had been rep resented. Homeopathy dealt with all medicines and was guide to aid in the selection of a remedy to cure disease. The hospital was not for She exclu- sion of any but was to include all that chose to come, but it is asked that it be taken into the control of the homeopathic physicians so as to insure the iberality that has always characterized homeopathy. Any school phy- sician might come there to practice. The difference between the proposed hospital and the existing one was simply that people could have the treatment they desired. The control of the proposed hospital would be vested in the New Haven Homeopathic socie. ty. Attorney White wanted to know of the witness if they proposed to follow the prin- ciples of Dr. Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy, in the new hospital exclusively Dr. Adams said it was not so proposed.
 What principles do you propose to be guided by!" asked Mir. White. "Do you ex- pect to follow the law of 'similia similibus curantur'-like cures likeY'
 Dr. Adams said he thought this good law when it could be worked otherwise. A man must do the best he can.
 Attorney White asked the witness if he followed the principles of Dr. Hahnemann concerning the attenuation of remedies. The doctor replied that the size of doses was simply . matter of the judgment of the ad- ministering physician.
 The last scientific question propounded by Dr. White, "If the witness agreed with Hahnemann that the source of nearly all dis ease was the itch" Dr. Adams said it was ridiculous to insinuate that Dr. Hahnemann ever laid down any such theory.
 In reply to question from the committee Dr. Adams said it was necessary to the suc- cess of the scheme to have the hospital To- cated in New Haven.
 Dr. Kellogg of Hartford, in practice 25 years, testified that homeopathy was on a COQgL3uLly Idp1Q 1ncE6aS0, ana CQer6 was a great need for such hospital. Half the best people of Hartford were homeopathists to- day.
 Attorney White asked if the people who patronized hospitals were confined to the poorest class almost entirely. The witness admitted that such was the case, but he thought the wealth and intelligence of Hart ford desired homeopathic hospital for the benefit of the poor people.
 Henry 0. Rowe, the oyster grower, was the next witness. He thought the homeopathic practice had large following. MT. Rowe said that he was not prejudiced in favor of either school.
 He was indebted for his life to 8 physician of the school now in the room-referriDg to Dr. Bacon-and he also employed homeo. paths in his family. He thought that both schools should have a chance. The time had passed for narrowness in religion or medi- cine. Provided that homeopathic doctors could be chosen to practice there, would it not be satisfactoryf Witness thought it would.
 Rev. Dr. McLane of the College street church, New Haven, testified that he had tried both schools, and the homeopathic doctors had succeeded in his case fully as well, as did the other school. But, further- more, he knew that many intelligent people approved of this treatment; therefore, if the people were to be taxed for hospital, it was as nanlfestlV unjust to tax for one school as IL would be to tax all the people for support or the Congregational church.
 hev. Df. McLane was asked if he thought that the principle should be carried ont and hospital established for the clairyoyant sonooi, ete. pr.MeLsne said that if person
