liable one. Prefaced by modest refer
ence to the fact that she had assayed
something rather unusual in report of a
president of this branch Of Odd Fellow
ship, now sitting in second annual session,
she found delight in being able to state
that the interest in the degree was not
failing. that the zeal of its members was
not only undated but increasing, and that
the faith in the degree was well founded.
She hoped for further increase
in the membership, and expressed
confidence in the possibility of soon being
able to convert their skeptical brothers to
q greater confidence in woman's Com
petence. With thanks for the honor con-
ferred upon her, she reviewed the years
work. The year just ended shows the
lodges in the jurisdiction of Washington
in q highly healthy condition, six new
lodges having been added and Se4 new
members. Following are the new lodges
which have been instituted:
Adina, No. -. Kent; Evergreen, No. ., Aber.
deem; Pine Tree, No. -, Castle Rock; Cleu,atis,
No 80, Prescott; Rainbow, No. 81, orting, and
Esther, No. s., La Conner.
The president, with further words of
encouragement, exhorted the putting forth
of every possible effort for the success Of
the degree, and counseled uniform kind
ness. She recommended the abolition of
the prefix grand" from the titles of the
officers of the grand assembly, particularly
that of president, feeling a scruple against
assuming more high sounding title than
that worn by the president of the United
States.
Further work Of the grand assembly viii
continue today.

ing-BurtOn Mansfield Elected Pres |
ident-Monthly Reports-An Addi- |
tional Appropriation.
A long series of resolutions were Offered
by Commissioner J. Rice Winchen tosShe
free public library commission last night
and adopted. They began by congratulat-
ing the public upon the fine new building
and library which the commission had Sc
cured for the city, enumerated the many
advantages to be derived from its use, and
invited the public in general to take ad-
vantage of this opportunity and use the
library as much and as often as possible.
Another set of resolutions instructed the
| building committee to erect two tablets in
| the library, one inscribed. with the date of
| the opening and the other a memorial to
| it's first notable benefactor, Philip Marett.
President John H. Leeds was reelected
to serve for fourth term, but declined
because of his departure for Asia in few
days, and Burton Mansfield was elected
president of the commission. A vote of
thanks was given President Leeds for his
/ efficient service.
Mayor Sargent appointed Commissioners
Leeds, Mansfield and Watrous to act with
him in a conference with the Historical
| society.
Librarian Stetson, in his monthly re-
port, gave the circulation for the past
month, January, as IL, 494, an increase OF
10 per cent. over the corresponding month
last year.
Treasurer Winchen reported balance
on hand of $1,000. 80.
| Commissioner Watrous presented two
resolutions, the first asking the Legislature
to transfer about So, 600 from the balance
on the building account to that for run
ming expenses, and the second to give tn,
city power to make an extra appropriation
of SO, 900 for the purchase of books.
Commissioner Leeds and Hamilton OBJ
jected to this second resolution as unneces
sary with the present condition Of the cit,
finances, and the first only was adopted.
| A long communication from Edward @
Towne proposed series of public lecture
and talks in the lecture room upon hv
topics and such matters as would educat
the public in the selection of books, an,
form a supplementary education with tn
library. No action was taken upon tn
, proposition.
The better lighting of the ladies' readin
room and the arrangement of a supple

BIRMINGHAM, Jan. 27.-The streets here
at night now present dismal appearance,
with the Pickering light from gas lamps
which have not been used before since the
advent of the electric lights. -
Some of the machines for repairing the
dam arrived here this evening. Work on
the Golfer dam will be started right away.
About six of the large concerns in Shelton
expect to be running with steam power in
short time.
The loss to the electric road is as severe
as was feared, in that the dynamos are
ruined and it will cost about 81, 600 to put
in new ones. These are expected in about
two weeks.
Tomorrow night Miss Witherspoon's
dancing class will give german in Ma
than's hall. The opening feature of the
affair will be flower dance given by ton

A PERILOUS VOYAGE.

Captain Anderson Tells of His Last
Trip With the Schooner 7. b. Car
rington.
Captain Anderson with the schooner J.
B. Darlington arrived in Bridgeport yes
terday, after one of the most perilous voy-
ages he ever experienced in his years of
navigation. The recent storm, he said,
was terrific along the coast. He speaks of
his experience as follows:
We left the capes of Delaware, bound for this
city, with a cargo of coal consigned to the Hous-
atomic railroad on Friday night at IL o'clock, the
weather being fair. At IL O'clock on Saturday
night with close reefed sails ran into terrific
northeast gale, but We kept on the coast and run
toward Absecom, Off Atlantic City. At $3.50 Sum
day morning we run into . southwest gale and
filed with water. Everything movable was
washed overheard and our bulwarks were wash
ed out. At s O'Clock we run northwest through
a tremendous binding snow storm, and our YES
sci was thrown in the trough Of the sea and the
sea again washed over our decks. At 7:30 we
saw vessel flying signal of distress, but could
render her any assistance. At $3.50 Sunday after
noon we passed a three-masted schooner thirteen
miles southeast Of Absecom, and shortly after
ward the gale moderated. The gale lasted from
10 O'Clock Saturday night until o'clock Sunday
afternoon

Deserved Success.

The Connecticut Clothing company, sue
cessors to Leigh & Prindle, have already,
during their short stay in this city, won
the favor of the public and find their
large store extensively patronized. This
company has an enviable reputation for
straightforward and conscientious bust
ness dealings. They make practice of
selling only the best quality of goods for
the very least amount of money. They
are making special bargains this week in
carrying over any stock. A visit to their
store at S13 and 815 Chapel street will con-
vince any one of the truth of this state
ment,

Yale,s Coming Ball Players.

The candidates for the University base
ball nine are practicing daily under the
supervision of Jack Horner. He is of the
opinion that while the services of Stage
and Dalzell will undoubtedly be missed,
there is quite supply of available pitch
ing talent which will work around all
right. It is much too early, he says, to
venture any opinion as to the abilities of
the various men, but thinks they will be
all right by the opening of the season.

Ar osBoRN HALL.

An Eloquent Address by Rev. 7. M.
Buckley Before a Large Audience
Yale Kent Club.
The firfyt lecture of the Yale Kent club
lecture course for 1891 was given in
Osborn hall last night by Rev. James NJ
Buckley, D. D., the editor of the Christian
Advocate, on t'The Peculiarities of Great
Orators"
Dean Wayland of the Law school intro
| duced DR.. Buckley very pleasantly as a
man who could very effectually prove that
clergyman need not be ascetic nor an ed
itor dull. DR.. Buckley, in substance,
said:
| Oratory is an art, the greatest Of all
arts, for it includes them all, acting
through the voice, gestures and express
sions of face, and applying to all the senses.
| Many persons have maintained that ora
| tors, like poets, are born, not made, but
| we have many evidences to the contrary.
Lord Chesterfield said oratory was like
shoemaking, acquired by effort and prac-
ticed with like ease. As in ancient times,
orators of the same period and country
differed so now in the present time. As
we survey the list of distinguished orators
| w Jul Cbu1GlJ3 NO ChA oooo1Co
ly believe the United States is not behind
other nations.
| DR.. Buckley, in the short space which he
occupied, spoke of the characteristics ano
| appearance of over forty orators, both an
Gent and modern. In speaking of the
requisites for good orator, the lecturer
said none of the supposed qualities of ora
tory are essential. Instead we find it tx
be necessary for an orator to believe il
himself, in his power to move men, in hi
cause while speaking. He must feel tn
effect of his audience. Again, his voic
must be heard and his language must b
ineligible.
Throughout the whole lecture DR.. Buck
ley was listened to with the greatest inter
est, and his anecdotes of the peculiaritie
of great speakers were greeted with heart
applause. Dr., Buckley might have men
toned the fact that his own fuency, cas-
and skill in Grafton and lecture are exam
pies of training, as he was naturally en-
dowed with poor health and physique an
only attained this great reputation as
speaker by earnest work. Osborn ha
was too small to hold the audience whic
had gathered to greet him, and many wer
r forced to stand up, and even to go away

The wires still Down.

Communication between this city and
New York by telegraph remained cut of
until last evening, when one through wire
was established. Between here and Hart
ford long distance telephoning was re-
established yesterday, but communication
was interrupted again last evening. The
long distance telephone wires from here to
New York are not yet working. Both the
telegraph and telephone companies have
large gangs of men at work repairing the
damages caused by the recent storm, but
several days will yet have to elapse ere
either service will again be in complete
working order.
