The Scotch, as race, are but little prone
to solicit charity. Their natural instincts of
thrift impel them to ''lay by for rainy
day." or, in plain English, provide while in
health for sickness and the infirmities of
age. The Order of Scottish Clans, whose
headquarters is at sos Washington street,
Boston, has been probably the most sue
cessful organization of its kind in America.
During the four years between May 81. 1856,
and the same date of 1889, the Royal Clan
mad paid to the beneficiaIies of decreased
members 1882 %. The objects of the or
der are to unite Scotchmen, sons of Scotch
men. and their immediate descendants, of
good moral character and possessed of some
known reputable means of support, over IS
years Of age; to establish a fund for the re-
lief of sick members, and to ameliorate
their condition in every reasonable manner !;
to provide or establish Bequeathment
Fund from Which, on satisfactory evidence
of the death of member. sum, not ex-
ceeding $4,000, shall be paid; to cultivate
fond rec0lleciions of Scotland, its customs
and amusements. and, in a word, to estab-
lsh an order that shall at all times be free
from political and theological sectarianism,
subject only the laws of God and the land.
For the establishment OF such an order
mteeinS will be held tomorrow evening at

Written for THE MORNING CALL
IVAN, not the sapphire sky's pure
a color,
&N When clouds away are rolled,
Is bluer than thy smiling eyes SO happy
At three years ola.
MY Ivan, not the sweet blush roses petals,
Commencing TO unfold,
Have fairer tints than tinge thy cheeks and
forehead
At three years old.
Ny Ivan. not the golden rods rich plumelets
Outshine thy hairs 'young gold"-
golden fleece, bright as the prize OF Jason
At three years old.
My Ivan, type of autumn's noblest flowers,
How firmly doSt thou hold
Thy place: how strong, how lovely art thou
growing
In Loves warm mold.

The Attendance Still Very Good To-
Morrow's Programme.
For about an hour last evening the crowds
at the Mechanics Pavilion awaiting an OPP
portunity to gain entrance were quite large,
and an uninterrupted stream of humanity
poured into the spacious hall as last as the
gate-keepers could punch the season tickets.
The evenings attendance was as good if not
better than any had during the past fort

To-morrow's musical programme will EN-
brace several very pleasing features. 1t is
as follows:

FRANK r. LEE.

All over the State there is disposition
on the part of Republicans to make nomi-
nations which shall correspond to the un-
usually good ones at whose head stands
Lieutenant Governor Merwin. Of such a
character is the nomination of Lieutenant
Colonel Frank T. Lee for Sheriff of New
Haven comfy. Mr.. Lee is man of fine
ability, conspicuous integrity and cour-
teous manners. He has many warm
friends and a host of approving acquain-
tances. He is a strong candidate, and es-
pecially SO because he has not been engaged
in politics in such a way as to
make enemies. There is no reason
why any good citizen cannot vote
for him, and very many why
he should be voted for. Everybody knows
that if he were elected the affairs of his
Office would be conducted with conspicu-
GUS honesty and excellent business ability.
He would be clean himself and appoint
clean men to the positions under his con-
troll. If we understand the situation the
election of the democratic nominee will
bring about the payment of certain politi-
cal debts in which the public interest will
not be considered. Mr.. Lee is not bound
to any man or set of men and can take the
Office free from undesirable and dangerous
complications. 1t is clear that the best
interests of the county demand that his
tall figure shall be the one at the head of
the college procession next summer. Not
that he is needed especially for this, but
he is needed for the less snowy and more
useful parts of the Sheriff's duties.

LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS.

They are paying some attention to a
matter in England which ought to receive
some attention in this country, and a
good deal of attention, too. This is the
responsibility of directors of companies
for untrue and misleading statements
made concerning the affairs of the compa-
MES. A suit was brought in England to
recover damages for Misrepresentation
contained in a prospectus published by the
defendants, who were directors in tram
way company. 1t was stated in the pros
pectus that the company had the right to
use steam on its lines, when, as matter
of fact, that right depended upon the con-
sent of local authorities, and had been re-
fused. Stock was bought on the strength
of the statement made in the prospectus.
was no ground for action because
the statement, although untrue, was
made in good faith. This position
has been sustained by the House Of
Lords. The discussion of the decision was
followed by the enactment by Parliament
of the Directors Liability act, the provis-
ions of which are summarized as follows
Directors are liable for untrue statements
made in prospectuses issued by their au
thority or with their consent unless they
are made on the authority of experts be,
ieved upon reasonable grounds to be COM
petent to make them, or of public ofacia
documents or statements or unless the di
rectors had reasonable ground to believe
| that the statements were true.
This is just and reasonable law, and i
ought to he thoroughly enforced. Man.
directors, both in England and in thi
country, have not been very perticula
about the statements they have put thei
| names to.

NEW HAVEN CONN. THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER q 1890.

United States navy, great-grandson OF
Benjamin Franklin, has brought a suit
against the city of Philadelphia for the re-
the accumulations of the fund of f100, be-
queathed to that city by Franklin. Mr..
Bache claims that the provisions of the be-
quest are void and in violation of law,
principally because an accumulation is di-
rected for longer period than is allowed
by the common law Of the state, because
the use of the funds, after the first hun
dred years, is not a charitable use, and not
one allowed by law, and because the pur-
pose contemplated by Franklin has become
impossible on account of the direction and
negligence of the trustees in not realizing
the anticipated fund. If the Philadelphia
suit succeeds an action will be brought
against the city of Boston for its Franklin
fund. r-J v-
The number of private hotels and resi-
Dental premises in Paris of q rental of
over $4,000 year is surprisingly small,
considering Paris's reputation for wealth.
There are 81, ,291 houses, divided into
1,141 1855 tenancies, of which $3.50 are
workshops and manufactures, 300, 1928 arr
shops and places of business, and $40, 46S
are appartements or ''hotels" for habita-
ton. Half of these appartements do not
bring in higher rental than $50 per an
mum. That is the average sum which q
workman will have to pay for two diminu-
tive rooms on the fifth, sixth or seventh
story of crowded tenement. Of flats

there are 81, ,974; from $500 to $500 rental,
SO, IT'S; from $500 to 50 900 rental, IL, ,222;
from 81, 600 to "a 900 year, 1880; while
of inhabited houses with rental of over
1000 there are only 40. Shop rents in
|, the busy parts of the town are dear.
Large blocks of buildings belong, not to
| private Individuals, but to insurance com
panies and banking establishments, who
charge what they like, and do snot care
much whether shop or an appartement
stands on their books empty for time
because an applicant refuses to pay an ex-
cessive rent, feeling sure that soon they
will be able to extort their own terms. II
is estimated that the gross rental of Paris
| reaches the total of $3.50, ,000, 900 a year
while the value of the whole of the prop
erty in the French capital dwelling houses
shops and manufactures, is put down al
50, 200, 900, 900. At the present moment
there are nearly $4,000 places of business
or flats vacant, or about 1000 more thar
| at this time last year.
