DONATION DAY

At St. Francis, Orphan Asylum
 $4,5OO in Money and a Like
 Amount In Merchandise. The donation committee of St. Francis orphan asylum felt much gratifed last night over the result of the donation day yesterday. The committees from the diff ferent parishes met with more success than in any previous year. Shortly after noon yesterday the wagons of the committees
 began to come in loaded to the top The committees began to arrive laden with money donations. The donations were comforting to the workers.
 The committees were treated to din- ner, after which the children entertained
 them with song, "Welcome." The chill
 dren went through calisthenic exercises to the tune of song which they sang. The children were the very picture of enjoy
 ment and all appeared hearty and healthy.
 In fact there is not one sick child in the institution. ......>...
 The St. Patrick's parish committee
 seemed to have gathered the largest Sargent's factory. MT. Sargent headed this with $100. ..- .. The committee visited the new kneading machine which will knead one barrel of flour in a very short time. The needs of
 the children are such that it is necessary to knead two barrels of four each day for
 bread which is needed. The committee
 also visited the six dormitories and two infrmaries.
 The school was not held for the day and the children made as much as possible of
 the opportunity to converse in the school
 room. They cracked all the nuts they could, and those they could not they saved until they could get stones and smash the walnuts and their fingers, too. The donations have been figured at
 about $4, 300 in money and $4, 900 in mer- chandise.
 John Anderson, the millionaire who, until year ago resided on Orange street, was in the habit of giving s1 ,O00 each year. This donation was one of the great helps to the committee. This year the do-
 nation was missed greatly by the asylum. The donations this year will about equal
 those of last year.
 The members of the committee were
 agreeably surprised by the general good
 condition or the children.
 After being shown around the, commit
 tee departed for home, we'll satisfied that
 they had given their day to aid noble cANee.

ALEXANDER FIDEMAN.
The Young Russian VioIinist

The Young Russian VtolInist. Alexander Fideman, now nearly thir- teen years of age, arrived in this country October 31 in company with Herr Adolph- Brodsky, who has been for eight years professor of the violin in the conserva- tory at Leipsic. Herr Brodsky as a vio- | 1inist ranks with Weniawski and other celebrated virtuosi, and is in this country under engagement to play at Concert Meister and soloist with the new Damrosch orchester. The boy Alexander, who really possesses musical genius,-hea already plays with ease the concertos of Spohr-and has been under Herr Brodsky's care and tui- tion for about two years; attending the family of Herr Brodsky, and receiving the benefit of the great violinist's daily care.
 Herr Brodsky's attention was first drawn to young Alexander while the boy was studying at the music school in Kief, in Russia, where he had been placed by in- huential friends, after his first benefactor, MT. M NJ. Fonaroff, the violinist of our own city, had left Russia for the United States. about five years ago. MT. Fonar- off interested himself in the boy when he heard him play at the age of six years, IOTeSeeluS WuAI HIS Iutufo AAlkhb O5 uuuSI proper guidance. He took him under his own roof and gave him daily instruction for two years, or until the time MT. Fon- aroff came to this country. At that time MT. Fonarof could not by any means per suade the boys father to allow him to come to this country, and he was obliged to leave him behind in the care of friends.
 The boy will play next Sunday evening the Fantasie Caprice of Vientemps and the Adagio from the 11th Spohr concerto, with the Damrosch orchester, under Herr Brodsky's direction. The boy has been spending the past week with MT. and Mrs. Fonaroff in this city, and their friends have been greatly delighted with his play ing.

old Days Recalled.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 was much interested in what old citi- zen said yesterday in your valuable paper. also am an old citizen and I read with pleasure his "reminiscences of New Haven as it was fifty or more years ago. They carried me back in memory to old days and time dear to my heart. But permit me to correct the gentleman on one point. His remark that the James Brewster car riage manufactory, which stood at the foot of Wooster street and which was de- stroyed by fire, stood where the w. & E.. T. Fitch factory now stands, is slightly erroneous, as it stood where the Boston Blackboard company's factory is now, which factory was erected by MT. Brew ster in place of the one burned.
 Perhaps the writer of yesterdays article will favor us with another of his interest ing articles with reference to the old days here. He can perhaps tell us of the de- struction by fire of the old Liberia, which was where the Mallory, Wheeler factory is now and of the amusing scenes there wit messed and of the military troop from another state which visited New Haven more than fifty years ago.

In the city of London, in the city of Paris and in many places of note this method is approved. By this plan shall have a single conductor for the water on the roof and opportunity to flush the pipes at every rainstorm.
 MT. Sullivan moved that the matter be referred to the city engineer with power to act. MT. Leigh spoke before anyone seconded the motion and said to Ar.
