MILITARY NOTES.

Anticipating the Emergency Call
The Soldiers Anxious to Make a
Good Showing.
1t is now whole week or more that the
members of the city battalion have been
on the "qui vive" awaiting the 'temer-
gency call" Probably no one of the mill:
tary men has remained away from his reg
ular employment in anticipating the call,
but there are certainly many of the soldiers
who have postponed their pleasure trips
in order to be in the city when the men
are called out.
One of the officers has postponed several
engagements and others have deferred
starting on their vacation trips until after
said call has been issued. This, however,
indicates the spirit of the soldiers, who
are anxious to make creditable showing
and from the indications it is evident that
they will respond in such large numbers
that the percentage of men present will be
praiseworthy.
Many of the soldiers think the call should
not be delayed much longer. They are
ready for duty, which done, they would
like to make their arrangements for spend
Ing evenings III OIueT ways. dOWoFcI, ds
the response is to be watched by the Of
ficers, the soldiers take SO much pride in
making good record that a majority of
them are in constant readinessfor the call.
Company D is prepared to get out good
percentage of members. On the mantle
piece in the company parlors is map of
the city, which map is pierced with many
pins These pins indicate, the residences of
the members and also the rank of the
soldiers All of the city companies are
divided into squads of about ten men or
less to each squad. commissioned
officers are detailed to inform the members
of their respective squads of the call.
1t is no uncommon occurrence for some
of the men to go without supper until
about 10 o'clock at night in anticipation
of the call
AS Captain G. E. Albee is out of the
city, First Lieutenant Beach is in COM
mand of CompanyD.
Captain Fred Lehr attended the meeting
of his company last evening, when the
new recruits were drilled, after which the
members had a social meeting in Carney's
"Little Armory."
The Horse Guard are to meet this eve
ming to hear a report from the committee
on shore dinner and picnic.

A Big Iron Steamer Stuck In the
Mud at Payyson Park-Helped Out
by the Margaret,
BRADFORD POINT, July 21.-The Iron
Steamboat company's steamer "Cetus,"
which brought an excursion party of 1000
people from Stamford and vicinity this
noon, became fast in the mud near the
dock, and when she attempted to start on
her return trip could not stir.
The time of leaving was to have been 4
p. M, but at 6 not an inch had been
gained. At that time the steamer Mar
garet came in on one of her regular trips
and taking line from the "Cetus' tried
to start her. After half an hours futile
effort the Margaret was compelled to go
on, but on the return trip she succeeded
in starting the big steamer after some
time. If the Madgaret had not rendered
assistance it is very likely that the SIAM
ford Methodist Sunday schools would have
been obliged to camp out on shore for a
time

speaking of the death of G. S. Thomson:
"Mrs. Kinney has lost her father, mother,
husband and three other relatives, besides
the one who shot himself yesterday, dur
ing the last fourteen months. Mr.. Thorn
son was often in the Courant Office during
the time that Major Kinney was on the
staff, and frequently packages of papers
have been sent him before his ship started
out from New York. He was genial,
CHEEKY and sociable in disposition. Mental
depression undoubtedly coused him to
take his life."

COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVED

BY the Selectmen Last Evening From
the Park Commfssioners-A Sue.
|. cessor to DIR. Smith Appointed.
The selectmen received and tabled for
further consideration last evening COM
munication from the park commissioners
asking permission to construct park
driveway through that portion of the town
farm which lies between the almshouse
and Judges Cave onWest Rock said drive
way to be made at the expense of the park
commission and substantially in accordance
with surveys and layout ready to be sub
mitted for the approval of such commit
tee, as the seIectmen might authorize to
act in the matter.
Another communication was received
from the park commission asking, in be-
half of the finance committee, that $15, 900
additional in park bonds be Immediately
offered for sale at the best terms obtaina-
blennt less than par and interest pursu-
ant to the act in such cases provided.
The following communication was read:
Pursuant to a vote of the New Haven park COM
mission the undersigned as its finance committee
have conferred with the treasurer Of thetown Of
have been paid by the town treasurer, on &C.
count of avails Of the park bonds at the present
time
By the statute providing for the issue Of the
bonds the entire avails of the same were to be
subject to the order Of the park commission, the
and after the placing of the bonds. We find that
| the treasurer has in some cases erroneously
charged the interest accruing on the bonds after
placing, but before delivery, against the avails
of the bonds, thus reducing the amount availa-
| BILE to the park commission by the amount of in
| terest thus taken from the principal. -.
On adjusting the account with the treasurer
we find that this overcharge against
the funds of this park commission amounts at
the present time to about $3.50, which amount
the treasurer is ready to credit to the park
commission, and to charge the same against the
order to that effect be made by the selectmen. ID
We would therefore request that proper or
der be issued to the treasurer to correct the er
ror aforesaid by crediting the park commission
| said commission and charging the same against
the account of the town. Respectfully yours,
| FINANCE COMMITTEE OF THE
NEW HAVEN PARK COMMISSION.

| ferred to its committee on finance with

He Would Travel.

Once in a while one sees in some New

set foot outside the narrow limits of their
own township in the course of their lives.
These people, even in their most wide
awake and vigorous years, have away OF
measuring the outside world by their own
simple standards which is quite refreshing.
"What should you do if you had money,
William?" inquired one of the group gath
cred around the big fireplace in the little
inn or tavern at Hilltown of the tavern
keeper, who was counted a man of wide
experience and wisdom by his friends.

A Surprised Baboon,

A book recently issued in England, called
'sHome Life on an Ostrich Farm" by Mrs
Martin, is filled with many anecdotes of
life in South Africa. Mrs. Martin tells
this story of Sarah, one of the pets on the
farm, female baboon, which had been
tame from infancy: ''She dearly loved
sweets, which were often given to her
wrapped up in a multitude of papers, one
inside the other. twas amusing to watch
the patient and deliberate manner in which
she would unfold each paper in turn, tax

s'This time, instead of the expected tit
bit, a dead night adder was wrapped up
and presented. When she unfolded the in

with horrid writhe, across her hand,
Sarah quietly sank backward and tainted

dint of throwing water over her, chatting
her hands and bathing her lips with brandy
she was revived from her swoon, though

Buckles That Buckle Nothing.

Buckles are admirable and useful things,
as every hostler is aware, and they enter
into the preservation of much that would
without their secure grip go to eternal
smash. But the feminine buckle, the
buckle of ornament, pure and simple, seems
an absurdity, especially when it gets into
the hollow of a woman's back, and has no
excuse for being there. The other night at
the theatre my gaze was constantly dis
tracted from the stage by hind-side- before
buckle which glared at me from the shape
ly back of a girl who sat across the aisle.
Every time she leaned forward in her
seat this long silver buckle, that apparent
ly fastened nothing, cleaned provokingly
in my line of vision. and each time l ex-
perienced an uncanny sensation, for it
seemed as though the wearer's pretty head
had been turned the wrong way on her
shoulders. 1t was impossible to reconcile
this front effect with her back hair. But
the caprice to do whatever outrages the
canons of art is galloping through our very
modern life, and it will not surprise me if
one of these days we are treated to the
spectacle of pair of slippers worn for
shoulder knots.-Cor. Boston Herald.

Where vanished they-those old time hopes ana

That used TO blanch my cheek or swiftly bring
Before my sight binding mist of tears.

Whose faintest tone was music in that day;
No auickened pulse proclams the voice beloved,
NV quiet heart goes Steadfast ON its way.
No bitterness, no shadow Of regret
Comes up to mar my peace with secret doubt;
would not live the past again, nor yet
Be quite content to have it blotted out.
Wan mem'ry, lowering near the far-oh grave
OF our young love, calls back, across the waste,
That all she finds is cold and lifeless save
The few pale, mourning flowers herself has
placed.

Thy life was bitter, but thy rest is sweet;
Though Ger thy burial place none pause to weep
1t is approached by none save unshod feet
