NEW HAVEN CONN. MONDAY MORNING MARCH IT.

the public pure has been carried in Massa- chusetts quite as far as justice to the tax payer will warrant. The conservatory of music has become embarrassed by buying . large and unpreftable hotel which 1t uses as boarding house for its pupils, and 1t wants the State to relieve 1t from the consequences of its own rashness by paying its debt in- cured for that purpose. But when con- fronted with this statement the reply Is that it is prudently managed and earns a profit every year. If 90, it does not need State aid. It undoubtedly has some excellent musicians among it's instructors, and has turned out some good musicians and teachers among its graduates. It is meritorious institution, but when 1t cites European prscedents and asks that the State should adopt 1t, the answer should be that the example of Europe Is not conclusive with Massachusetts, and that as yet we have no need of . State school of music.
 Kossuth, the ex-dictator of Hungary, re- sides at Turin, in house on the via def mille. He is now in his eighty-seventh year, but notwithstanding his advanced ago has retained the most surprising mental and physical vieor. This is probably due to his regular mode of life. After his bath he takes walk of one or two hours' duration, returning bet wesn 12 and to luncheon. All the afternoon he reads and works in his cabinet, . loftyiroom with vaulted and painted ceiling and papered in warm red color. He writes seated at huge flat desk placed be- tween the two windows, with his back to the light. The desk is covered with papers mostly tied with red tape and carefully dock. etsd for reference. On the wall are several good pictures, and facing the desk is an ad- mirable full-leneth portrait of the general himself. Beneath on table is the gift of the workingmen of England-a complete edition of Shakespeare's works, inclosed in 8 case which Is miniature facsimile of the poets house at. Stratford- -on-Avon. He dimes at and after the meal, notwithstand- ing the eight or ten miles which he has walked during the day, he is good for an hours game of billiards. At he usually takes tea and retires to bed at about il. With rsference to his bed, it may be of in. terest to mention that he has retained the old Hungarian custom of having the upper sheet eewn to the blanket and counterpane.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Education does not drive out superstition. About fifteen hundred different iinds of dream books are in the market, and all of them find buyers, while sales steadily inc crease about in proportion to the increase of people. Nor is the demand for dream books confined to the poor. Women with sealskins and diamonds buy them.
 The government printing office ii now en- gagged in filling one of the largest orders in its history. This is for 18,000, 900 blanks for the use of the 10000 enumsrators of the eleventh census, who will begin work in May. It will take 1t, 900 reams of paper and twenty presses will have to be worked twen- ty-two hours each day for six weeks before the order will have been completed.
 Even the ostrich is not what we have thought 1t. The owner of . California ostrich ranch has been spelling some old stories about this big bird. For one thing, he says, instead of being coward and hid ing his head in the sand the ostrich is very pugnacious bird, ready to fight on all occa- sions, and, so far from being able to carry man on his back, as old geography illustra- tions show them, the ostrich has very weak back, which may be broken by blow with an ordinary cane.
 A firm of architects in Chicago proposes for the worlds fair an immense structure of iron and glass, shaped like tent. and cover- ing about 194 acres. This would allow the whole exposition to be under one roof, with | kn Eo~ val at. tempted. It would be the biggest building ever erected. The tent pole would be con- structed like the Eiffel.tower, 1 100 feet high, with further projection of 500 feet above the tent for sight seeing. The diameter of the building would be 5000 feet, and it can be built more cheaply that any other form of structure covering the same space.
 A long report has been read before the British Medical Temperance association by Dr. John Moir on the use and effects of aleo' shol in hospital treatment. It appears that between the years 1868 and 1888 general and marked decrease has taken place in the employment of spiritual stimulants fol patients. Measured by cost per bed the re- duction has been from 30 to 90 per cent while the expenditure for milk has been aug mented by leaps and bounds. Out of sev
 enty three hospitals and in6rmaries, only eight show an increased outlay upon alcohol It is stated that in one of the London inssitu

A Strange Accident

A strange situation developed itself down
in the vicinity of the new stone bridge
Yesterday. For a couple of days past con
sumers of city gas in the neighborhooc
about Sixteenth street have been com
planning about the extraordinary pressure
and so persistent were the assertions thai
there was something the matter, that Sec
rotary Franzheim made an examination
He found that in the vicinity of the
bridge site one of the natural ga:
companies had laid its line right
on top of the city gas main. and the pipe:
being broken by slip, the gas from the
natural gas main was pouring into the city
gas pipe, forcing back the illuminating gas
bv reason of the heavy pressure in the nat
ural gas pipe, and so entering the resi-
dences of consumers. Mr. Franzheim took
IA force of men TO the scene, and the result
was that the gas was found TO come IRON
the line Of the Manufacturers Gas Com
pany. The break was repaired, and every
thing is all right at present.

Since the proprietors of the Bodley
Wagon Works have contemplated moving
to another and more convenient site, they
have been beset with offers from Boards
of Trades and Land Improvement Com
panies in various localities. Wednesday
ii. c. Harvey, G. +. Millender and d. a,
Mossman, OF Huntington, were here
as representatives of the Board of Trade
of that town to make proposal
for locating there. The Offer with others,
is under consideration by the members OF
the wagon firm. Among the offers received
is one from the Board of Trade Of Duluth.
MINI. Although the inducements given
out by this board are very liberal, it is
hardly probable that the firm will locate
there, as il would be so removed from the
radius of trade, in consequence of which
the freight rates would be materially
increased The wagon firm has until
April, 1892. TO decide upon a location, and
before that time expires they expect tC
strike some advantageous territory.

The citizens Of Bridgeport were some
what scared last evening ON account OF
Mr.. Ed Truman, agent of the c. x p rail
road. who called 10 his aid Marshal Keller
and his force, together with several eiti-
zens, TO capture a set of burglars who were
cracking the Z. X =. office They sur
rounded the office and made all prepare
tions to secure the evil-doers, and then
with the limbs of the law made an attack
on the door of the Office and demanded adj
mittance. After great deal of kicking
the door was opened, and to the horror of
all. there stood Mr. Charles Truman with
his men, who were building platform for
the purpose of unloading some heavy
freight. The burglar-hunters looked at
Charley, then at each other and then
silently stole away.

A Narrow Escape.

There was a narrow escape from a bad
accident on the b. Il O. just east Of Nc
Culloch street, around the HILL about
twenty minutes of six Wednesday evening.
The five-thirty passenger train, bound for
Little Washington, was bowling down from
the glass house grade, and rounding the
curve TO run onto the tunnel bridge, when a
freight train emerged from the tunnel,
headed right at the passenger train. The
prompt reversal of both engines prevented
a collision. The passenger train had to
oe backed clear into town again, to allow

PUSHING 1T AHEAD.
Progress of the Railroad improvements
al McMechen.

at McMechcn.
Few people Of Wheeling have any
idea of the magnitude OF the Il. Il O.
Railroad improvements at Benwood
Junction. Some siXty-four acres of the
McMechen estate were bought some
time ago, and the work Of filing and
grading was begun about July lst.
Ryan & Mcdonald, of Baltimore, are
the contractors who have charge Of the
work, and they have about eighty men
employed. Two large steam ShoyelS,
and two l5-ton and two 9-ton engines
are used in the work of cxcavating and
filing. 1t will probably take nine
months to complete the job. The Ohio
River Railroad tracks will be moved
west about 25O yards to the river bank,
and the bottoms used as a freight yard
The plans also call for a round house
and repairing shops, upon which work
will be commenced in a short time. 4
track is being laid in the form of a loop,
commencing at the station and running
west and north. meeting the main track
above the bridge. This will greatly IA
cilitate the handling Of freight, and be
a great convenience TO passengers.
