The Home Guard.

'Look cut there4 You'll be shotl Pm a soger now" says the happy boy in our newest and best Christmas panel.
 The title, decided appropriate one, "The Home Guard," tells half the story. Christmas has come and brought with it joy to probably every one, but certainly, judging by the happy face, to the youth full three-year-old son and heir. Santa Claus has brought him toy, gun, bugle, sword, drum, cap and uniform, and dressed in all his toys he seems to be the happiest little ssHomer Guard" in all the land Every home blessed with little tots, is the scene, every Christmas morn ing of just such picture as our artist has painted and entitled 'The Home Guard i" Of all our popular panels we predict for this the greatest success and know that in every house throughout the land it's coming will be welcomed. The Home Guard is entirely original. Painted spe- cially for us and can be procured only at The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co.,, 866 State street, New Haven, Conn. d10 St

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.

The West Haven Road Petitions for
 Permission to Lay Tracks on
 Chapel Street-Other Routine Busi-
 ness Transacted.
 Owing to the absence of Mayor Sargent, who is not yet recovered, the meeting of the board of public works last evening was presided over by Commissioner States, the other commissioners present being Todd, Sullivan, Atwater and Leigh.
 A petition was received from the West Haven horse railroad company requesting permission to lay tracks temporarily on Chapel street, from Temple to College street, so as to enable them to connect with the Winchester avenue railroad. Another petition asking that the permit be granted, signed by seventeen mer- chants of Chapel street was also pre- sented. President Kelsey of the West Haven road appeared in behalf of the petition and stated that the Win chester road would be completed within day or two and when it was done l it was the purpose of the road to run five | cars through from Division street to the | depot at intervals of eight minutes | throughout the day and that the cars would run as late as ii o'clock, p. m. After arguing the matter pro and can | on motion of Commissioner Todd the board ! voted to waiver all objections to the laying | of the track which was the only consent ii | was in the power of the board to grant. l Supt Doyle reported to the board that numerous complaints had been made to him concerning the stopping of the cars of tn: l West Haven road on Church street just below Chapel and the complete blocking oi the street in consequence, but the board took no action upon the matter. n
 The petition of Shanley & McKiernar ! for permission to display an Illuminating advertising sign in front of 2S Churcf street was referred to the superintendent | with power.
 Ex-Commissioner of Public Works Cole man of Providence, R. l., appeared befor' the board to explain the economy and ad Il vantages of sewer catch basin trap, O. which he was the inventor, and by thu use of which the city of Providence hat been saved an expenditure of $7, 700 in thu past year.
 City Engineer Hill stated that while thu l trap undoubtedly possessed some advan | tages over others, still he was not pre- pared to recommend it for general use.
 The entire matter was referred to tn committee on sewers with authority to se cure three or four of the traps and experi ment with them in this city.
 Professor H. G. Newton and Attorne,
 w. D. Pardee appeared before the boart in reference to the proposed layout an'
 strengthening of Crescent street, north o
 Goffe, and the board voted to recommen'
 the layout as designated.
