IVES IN THE LEAD.

He Will Probably be Appointed As- sissant Superintendent of Streets by she Board Of Public Works. The fight in the board of public works
 over the man for the position of assistant
 superintendent of streets has narrowed down
 practically to George L. Ives, the republican
 candidate, in the opinion of those who have
 watched the operations of the board closely for the past few weeks. The democrats still hold on to their candidate. John J. Brennan,
 but have given up all hope of electing him.
 The position of the republican side of the
 board is strengthened by the fact that the
 democrats were given their man for superin-
 tendent of streets and 1t is no moro than just
 that there shall be republican in the posi-
 ton of assistant.
 Another element which has appeared in
 the struggle is spirit of dissention in the
 democrat camp. MT. Leigh does not wholly
 agree with his brother members on the board and 1t would not be at all surprising if John J. Brennan lost vote just when he least ex- poets 1t. The next meeting will be held on Tuesday night next. Then another effort will be made to select suitable man. Some are of the opinion that . totally new man will have to be found before the deadlock can be broken, but this is not thought of by the republicans. They are determined that George L. Ives shall receive the position and it seems probable that the democrats will have to acquiesce. He ia e thoroughly capa-
 ble man and could fill the position in every way.

Barnes and will erect good sized dwelling upon 1t with modern improvements. The land on the east adjoins the home plot of ex- Assessor Francis Donnelly. Other improve ments on Middletown avenue gre talked of to be made in the near future.
 The Consolidated railroad has purchased, so it is reported by prominent citizens.a a tract of meadow land bordering on the Quinnipiac river north of Middletown avenue and in the vicinity of where the Air Line railroad shops wore once located.

 able Iron company and the large new frame shop of the Electric Wire company loom up
 considerably to view. The former on the

The price paid was very near $100, 1000. The property was bought of Lo- | repzo Armstrong by D. B. Critrenden and Abner Hendee. MT.

A director of the local polo team was asked by COURIER reporter last night if he knew anything about this new polo league, or if the managers of the other polo teams knew anything about it.
 "Yes," said he, "the idea has been talked of for some time and it will probably be go next season. But don't know how the pa pers got hold of 1t, for we have been pretty quiet about it all around. Yes, the other polo magnates knew of it just as well as we that the cat is out of the bag"
 This proves that there is some foundation to the report that has been circulated, and we will probably see polo on e larger scale next season than it has ever been played be- fore. .--

How to Teach the Bible-N1r. Cabless
 Second Paper.
 George w. Cable read paper yesterday afternoon in Marquand chapel on "How to Teach the Bible."
 In beginning his lecture Nr. Cable showed how he was trying to separate two very kin- dred subjects. In his lecture on ''How to Study the Bible'' he said that he touched up- on the essence of how to teach the Bible, for to know how to study the Bible is to know to teach it. The Bible is not ....ths truth, ? nor is e fact the truth because it is in the Bible, but it is in tho Bible because it is an undeniable truth. b. +'z 's '~;, :,
 The true use of the Bible is to maintain all, truths of Christianity, and not one or two essentials. Every moment of the use of the Bible should be to teach Christianity-to get Christianity out of it as water out of well. Labor to hold tho pupil to the same method. i Always ask what has this particular part of the Bible to do with Christianity. Christ himself teaches that apart from the scrip. tures he can do nothing.
 This is the whole purpose of the Bible. In considering how to study the Bible we noted the difference between reading and thinking, | so in teaching the Bible we should stimulate not alone to love but to think. A scholar says "I know the lesson," but learning the l text OOeS uOG cOneG1LuCo knowing tn6 lesson, l but scholar has learned the lesson when he knows the content. We must help our pu- pill to think for themselves, and the teacher must accommodate himself to the natural aptitude of the individual scholar. Of what ever temperament, the heart is the objec- tive point, mot the head. The teacher should take into consideration the previous educa- tion of the scholar. Every soul is a ship at sea. A wise teacher will teach that the | nh41n n41t krr1kh on1 ofo ovaH on 1t.
 Never treat pupils sincere doubt with contempt, and the best teacher will teach the best use of doubt and will turn his pupil te the undoubted things.
 Teach always visibly and supremely in the pupils interest. The best way to success ii to love the pupil, not merely to love his soul but love his whole interest. The best teach CTS are those who have no detailed methods
 Other lectures will be delivered in the neal future before the seminary by Rev. Johr Hall and by ex-Miuister Phelps.
