New Haven Gray-Hfs Inventive
Genius-A Brush Factory on the
Eng1fsf Plan for This Country.
Judge Sheldon 1ectured before an audi
ence in the Church Of the Messiah lecture
room last evening. He had specimens of
brushes made here in this country and
also those madeo in England. He showed
the vast inferiority of our brushes and
gave most thorough and exhaustive his
tory of themanner of manufacturing them.
The procesSh by which our sbrushes are
made il the SELF same processo f years and
years ago. He told Of 4 company started
here with capital of $500, 600 and of its
poor success. He traced all the processes
Of the mechanical part of the business and
evinced thorough knowledge of that part
of it. Judge Sheldon went to London in
1868 with Mr.. Edward Bradley, brother
Of D. B. Bradley of Wall street, to find .
more extensive market for the sale OF
brushes made by the New Haven company,
and was there confronted with brushes
that were incomparably better than those
he took there as samples. Mr.. Bradley re-
manned in London and is now manager OF
great brush company there. Mr.. Bradley
was for several years a member of the New
Haven Grays and has many old and warm
friends in New Haven.
Mr. Bradley is o great inventor, and it
is in consequence of his inventive genius
that the English brush has attained its
present perfection. Now that the Mckin-
lev bill is law it is probable that the Lon
don company will start branch factory
here, and thus give us the-benefit of their
skill and enterprise in this important in
dustry.

THE COUNTY JAIL.


The Lucrative Berth There and the
Deputy sheriff Places.
There is much interest around the city
among the local politicians as to who will
be appointed jailer by Sheriff elect Tom
linson to succeed Captain Beardsley.
Rumor has said that Mr.. Tomlinson in
tends filling that position himself, as
Sheriff Byxbee did some years ago. Mr..
Byxbee held the office for three terms, nine
years, and for his first term Mr. Kimber-
1y had charge of the Jail. The sheriff held
it himself during his second term, and
would have done SO the third but for his
wife's i'll health, and George Stevens was
appointed to the place. The term of
Office has now been heightened to four
years. Mr.. Tomlinson will assume his
duties next July 1. The appointment of
deputies is also q matter of much interest
Sheriff Gates had two democrats on his
list, and among Mr.. Tomlinson's friends
it is thought he will appoint two republi-
cans In case Mr.. Tomlinson does not
take the Jail the idea is prevalent Town
Registrar Billy O'Keefe win receive it, who
has been widely known in local politics
for the past fifteen years. Major Keefe,
an old war horse in the democratic camp,
who is hard and efficient worker in the
party, has been spoken of as likely can
didate. Mr.. Tom1inson will make his ap-
pointments probably in consultation with
his party.
The jailer receivesa salary which amounts
to something like 81 500, besides which he
gets house rent and provisions free, etc.
The sheriff occupying this position, with
his other fees of Office, etc., can make it
worth from So, 900 to- 50, 600 year.

The Annual Meeting of the New
Haven Dispensary Last Evening"
Favorable Reports-Omcers to be
Elected this Evening.
The annual meeting of the New Haven
dispensary was held last evening, with DR..
9. A. Lindsley president, and DIR. swayne
secretary. The reports gave most fiat
tering showing for the present condition
and outlook for the future. The dispens-
airy has now excellent facilities with its
new building for working, and is in the
best condition known in its history. There
were1 300 patients more last year than the
one preceding, and the same CAREFUL atten-
ton given the increasing numbers.
The medical staff has been increased
by four new men, to keep up with this in
crease of work.
The lack of subscriptions is painfully
apparent, owing to the death of prominent
patrons. At the beginning of last year
the debts were largely increased, and to
meet this the finance committee, composed
of Thomas Hooker, Max Adler and Justus
S. Hotchkiss, went to work and obtained
more subscriptions. From these new
funds they have been able to pay the back
rent IN part, the present rent and interest,"
on the money used for the new building.
Three of the board of managers have died
in the past year, the Hon. James E. Eng
fish, one of it's founders, Professor John
son 7. Platt and DR.. J. J. Crane.
The treasurer's report shows that there
is enough money to meet the current
expenses and pay for the furniture and
apparatus of the new building. The
amount on hand is between $500 and $780,
But more money is imperatively needed
and the managers hope that more sub
scriptions will be Forthcoming.

ported that 1896 patients had applied, Of
whom 1878 applied for the first time

of prescriptions was S,076, at an average

has been open now for three hundred

elected: II. G. Smith, J. W. Bristol and
Henry F. English. The remainder of tn.
