Prof. Huxley says there was time
when men walked on all fours. We be-
lieve you, Huxley, for we have seen
them do it when they were little There
was also time when a man walked on
the palms of his hands, and held up his
legs in the air. The time we refer to
was after the boy had been to the circus
and had seen the clown do it.

Failure Of a EselInmY scheme.

1t is probable that ere long the CO.
operative boarding house established
IN Decatur last spring on the Edward
Bellamy plan will soon collapse for
lack OF sufficient patronage. 1t started
out with fifty-two members, under the
most favorable circumstances. and all
OF It's patrons were enthusiastic in
praise Of the novel manner of living.
The patrons got day board at 81. 40 u
week, and there was a fair profit in the
enterprise for the lady manager so
long us there were fifty-two boarders.
But, from one cause o. another. the
patrons have quietly departed, until
now there are but forty left. This
number is not sufficient to continue the
Alliance longer at profit, and it is
expected that the cooperative plan
VIII be abandoned to return to the 81
and So rates. -- Cor. st. Louis Globe

called attention to it as n cause for much OF

Monday morning the tall blue gum
tree standing at the northeast corner
OF German Senter's house was cut
down. A careful measurement of the
tree showed it to be about 115 feet
high from the ground to the topmost
branch. 1t was four feet in diameter
and about twelve feet in circumference
at the ground. We are informed by a
Portuguese that he set the tree out
nineteen years ago. Think Of it, A
tree only nineteen years old, 115 feet
high and showing a diameter in pro-
portion. The residents of that quar-
ter watched the fall of the monarch
with genuine regret, but its great
height made the cutting of it down
necessity. as it was liable to break
and fall on some of the residences near.

TOWNAND CITY POLITICS.
The Contest for the Mayoralty-Sixth
Ward Democrats.

ward Democrats.
The managers of the Sargent campaign
were confident last night that their man
would receive forty votes at least in the
democratic city convention tomorrow
night and that he would be nominated for
mayor on the first formal ballot. There
are various rumors of break between
Driscoll and Andrew and it is thought
probable that the Driscol vote will 90 to
Sargent.
The conference between Messrs. Sargent
and Driscou on Tuesday night has been
the subject of much discussion, but the
friends of both sides declare that it had
nothing to do with any deal between the
two men, but was purely discussion to
settle any controversy over the Fourth
ward votes which were protested at the
primaries.
The demoratic nominating committee of
the Sixth ward will meet at 3 o'clock this
afternoon to nominate ward officers.
Councilman George w. Bromley will be
nominated for alderman, but the rest of
the ticket has not as yet been fully decided
upon. Ex-Councilman Gilhuly attempted
to defeat Councilman Bromley at the pri-
maries for the aldermanic nomination, but
was unsuccessful. He contested the result
before Chairman Shannon Of the town COM
mittee, upon the ground that there were
more votes cast than there were voters on
the check list, but this was also fruitless.

The regular monthly meeting of the New
Haven chamber of commerce was held last
evening. The attendance was small, but
several important matters were brought
forward and action taken thereon. The
secretary read communication from the
merchants exchange Of st. Louis, asking
that the New Haven chamber unite with
them in sending petition to congress,
providing for the establishment of an
American ocean mail service. On motion
of Judge Sheldon it was voted to do 80. A
communication was then read from the
New York board Of trade and transporta-
ton embracing the petition of the National
Electric Light association, providing for
the taking of the census of the electrical
industry, and asking for the cooperation
Of the New Haven chamber of commerce.
It was voted to do as requested.
President Dewell stated that the annual
meeting of the state board of trade would
be held about the middle of January, and
that it was the custom for this body to
send series of resolutions for discussion
at that meeting. In accordance with this
plan series of six resolutions were adopt

A sewer Not Laid where Mrs. MIL
bank Wanted It Causes the Contro-
yersy.
BRIDaEPoRT, Nov. ga case in which
persons Of imposing financial weightiness
are the Htigants, came up before Judge
Robinson on the short calendar list of the
civil superior court this morning. The
case is all abouta sewer, and shows how
millionaires sometimes fall out over COM
paratively small things. President Viii
liam Rockefeller of the Standard Oil COM
pany, Mrs. Elizabeth L. Milbank, widow
of the Milbank who was the controlling
power in the st. Paul railroad during his
life, and who left an estate valued at be-
tween five and ten millions of dollars to
his widow, and a. Foster Higgins, another
millionaire, are all residents OF Green
witch. About two years ago they jointly
| agreed to build sewer to run through
| their several estates. Mrs. Milbank went
on trip to Europe, and during her alb
sence the sewer was constructed. In
stead of adhering to the line agreed
| upon, however, Rockefeller and Hig-
| gins made deviation which carried the
/ sewer outside the line laid down for it
through Mrs Millbank's property. The
latter, upon her return, refused to pay her
portion of the expenses and attempted to
stop the other parties from using that por-
ton of the sewer running through her
property. This would practically make it
worthless. She gave as her reason that on
account of the deviation from the line
originally agreed upon, she was deprived
of the benefits which she had expected.
Rockefeller and Higgins brought suit to
compel her to pay her share Of the ex-
pense, and in support of their claim testi.
fed that Mrs. Millbank'a son had given
them authority to change the course of the
sewer. Mrs. MiHbank testified that she
had never given her son the power to act
in her behalf in the matter, and judge
Fem, before whom the. case was tried, de
Il cided in her favor.
| Rockefeller and Higgins still continue te
use the sewer, and Mrs. MilIbank asks fol-
an injunction restraining them from using
that portion of it which runs through hel
property. This morning Judge Robinson
decided that the business was not properly
on the short calendar list and it was or
dered back upon the regular docket. The
aggregate wealth of the parties in the con
troversy is estimated at $3.50, 900.

This cherished occasion, con-
secrated to the rightful rendering
of our heartfelt gratitude toward
a bene6cent providence for those
good and gracious gifts of health
and happiness. should be ap-
preached by each and all of us
with the tenderest and most rev.
erent thoughts.
In the hurry and hustle of our
daily toll and pleasure let US find
time to pause and think upon
the multiplicity of causes that
should make us thankful. We
work hard and cheerily all the
long year. Make we now a
brief reposeful halt at this yearly
wayside resting-place, and view
| the fruits of those labors that are
permitted by that wise protect
ing power.
These dull November days
show us barns and storehouses
filled with the fairest fruits
mother earth can yield our toll.
Naught lacks to complete the
measure of the tale but the trib-
ute of our thanks.
Expressions of contentment
rise involuntarily to our lips, as
we look around the family gath
ering of to-day and watch the
happy faces we have missed so
sadly all the year. The sight of
these alone is a forcible remind
er of the gratitude that should
be ours.
| Not alone in individual pros
perity are we called upon to re-
joice as each year rolls around.
National success and well doing
demand an equal obligation.
i Are we not the component
parts of that mighty Republic,
whose swift progress to the head
of nations has been alike the
wonder and admiration of the
world2
Rich is she in natures inn
mense resources: rich in the
brain and sinew of a race recruit
ed from the ablest ranks the uni
verse contains; rich in the devo-
ton of a patriotic people. Har-
monious in her relations with
every power - fearing none ;
honored and loved by all.
This proud position is but the
outcome of the faithful service
rendered by our willing hands,
under the guidance of that ALI
Seeing Power behind our every
movement.
How can we evidence our
grateful sense for all the blessings
time has showered on us2 The
fullest and most complete form
of thanksgiving would i'll suffice
to discharge the duty Of our
debt. We can but offer up a
simple yet sincere outpouring Of
our inmost feelings, and go for
ward in the strong resolve, come
what may, we will endeavor to
prove by the earnest purpose of
our daily lives, we are not wholly
. undeservingof those unnumbered
benefits of which we are the
grateful recipients.

PETITIONS FOR PROTECTION

Against Danger From Grade Cross
tngs in the Twelfth Ward.
There are ten grade crossings in the
Twelfth ward at which neither gates nor a
fagman warn those who may pass that
way of the danger of approaching trains.
The property owners of the vicinity have
started ten petitions, which will be pre-
sented to the common council, asking that
the railroad company be required to fur
nish either fagman or suitable gates at
these crossings. Those who have the petit
tons in hand say that they will obtain be-
tween 500 and 600 names of property own
ers in this section.
The railroad company is aware of the
danger of these crossings and has proposed
plan by which all of these may be
bridged. The cooperation Of the city is
alone wanting. The property owners,
however, are strongly opposed to this plan
of bridging the crossings, for they think ii
will greatly depreciate the value of their
property.
