MEAN TEMPERATURE FOR THIS MONTH IN
REHEARsING "PINAFORE., ;,

Miss Justine lngersOu Begins to Pre-
 pare for the Opera.
 A lively scene was presented at the hall in Todd's block, last evening, when the first of the rehearsals of Miss Justine In gersoll's production of the bright opera, "H. M. s. Pinafore" was organized. There were some forty well-known local singers ready for the chorus. Max Dessauer acted as musical director, and Miss Justine In- gerson was there to superintend. From her it was learned that affairs were in 8 very fourishing condition, and that great interest was taken in the success of the opera by all to whom tho subject had been preached. The cast as already completed shows Mime. Oertel as Buttercup, Henry Ensign as the Admiral, Miss Mattie Schnee- lock as Hebe, Barstow Smith as Dick Dead eye. Three candidates for Josephine are under consideration, all new to the New Haven public, and all with the best of recommendations from musical critics. A dozen of the Harugari club will sing, and the only lack is in the alto part. It is ex- pected that many more will apply before the next rehearsal, which is set for Fri day, January g, at the same place and time.

 cidedly Better.
 HARTFORD, Jan. 2.-The old man on whom the Koch lymph was tried Tuesday continues to improve. The lupus for which the injection was made shows the action of the lymph, and is in a better condition than ever before in the twenty five years since it first appeared. The pa tient sleeps soundly and the pain in the sore is gone. To Post reporter the old man showed two pillow cases, one hecked with blood, on which he had slept for the week before the operation; the other, nearly or quite clean, which he had used since. NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Mt. Sinai hospital reports uniformly favorable effects of the treatment, both in lupus and lung trouble. One or two other hospitals report favor able results.
 BIRMINGHAM, Jan. 9. Jerry Mccarthy of this place went down to New York yester- day accompanied by Dr. George L. Boards ley, for a trial of the Dr. Koch lymph treatment. The case is of special interest as the disease is in the very stage when Koch maintains the lymph operates most satisfactorily.

A Chip of the old Block.

Nine-year-old Robert Redden is the son of Mary Ann Redden, who resides on lower State street and who has something of a police record. Last night Officer George Bradley was walking down the street when his ears were startled by string of sharp and unreportable epithets which were evi- dently intended to apply personally to the officer. He turned and saw young Redden grimacing at him. This display of youth full depravity was even more than this gen. ial officer could stand, and he summarily gathered the youngster in>and took him to the police station, where his mother bailed him out few hours after.

RACE WALK RIGHTS,
Work on the New Race Wall in Brandy
wine Park stopped for the Season.

There are public notices at the water
department offices bearing the legend;
Notice-This walk is not thoroughfare.
Persons who use 1t do so at their own risk.
The notices are to be put up imme-
diately at the entrances to the race
walk. The relatively high straight stone
wall being built along the race will
make it little more difficult for those
who by accident fall into the race 10 ex-
tricate themselves. The department is
unwilling to take any risks in regard to
accidents and takes this method to pro-
tect itself.
A claim exists that the race walk is q
public thoroughfare and that the custom
of many years public usage confirms
that right.
An official at the department replied
to GAZETTE representative yesterday:
81 don't see how you can make pub
lie property out Of private property. 1t
belongs to the city. People walk along
there, but that does not give them the
right to do So"
The department owns the race and
the race bank to Van Buren, street. The
Park Commissioners rights commence
at this point.
The new race wall is completed a
little over two-thirds of its length. The
work has cost approximately $4,000.
The total estimate is about $4,000. 1t
was not intended to accomplish more
than one-half this year but the open
season gave opportunity for work. Work
has been stopped now for this year and
will not be resumed until the opening
of the season.

diner Littell of a % years rectorate at st.
Johns Church was appropriately cele-
hrated on Tuesday, Early in the evening

ception in the Sunday-schOol room. Sub

Berghaus and u. Tatnall Warner.
After referring to his and DIR. Littell's
school days at the General Theological
Seminary, the bishop said; "Dr. Littell
has shown himself always active in church
work, and sometimes, | fear, when his
health should have caused him to pause in
his labors. 1t is not easy to follow the
instructions of medical advisers when we
see what is to he done. MIR. Littell has
had the help of his congregation and the
sympathy OF the ministry and the other
congregations Of the city, and he has
shown himself worthy of the confidence re-
posed in him. ! extend tony dear brother
and to his wife my congratulations for
having been spared together to work side
by side, and To the parish and the diocese
for receiving the benefits of Dir. I.ittelrs

The authority of the late Speaker
Reed to count quorum as present but
not voting is one of the points to come
up for judicial determination in the case
of the United States versus Ballin,
Joseph g. Co., of New York. The matter
at issue is an excess Of duty charged on
sixteen cases of worsted cloth imported
by the respondents. The collector at
New York classified the worsted cloths
as woolens and imposed duty on the
wooden basis. The board of general
appraisers sustained the collector. The
importers appealed to the United States
circuit court for refund of the illegal
excess and carried their point, that tri-
bunal giving judgment against the gov
eminent for the amount claimed. From
this decision the government appealed.
There are other counts involved, but
much stress is laid on the validity
Of the Mckinley act, the claim being
that there was not constitutional
quorum to do business in the House of
Representatives when the bill passed
that body" The record shows that l3s
members voted for the bill-being 2g
less than a quorum; that no member.
voted against it, and that the speaker
announced "a members as present and
not voting. 1t will be remembered that
Reed went SO far as to lock in incor.
rigiblc members, in his efforts to secure
quorumsi that one insubordinate Demo
crat entered q vigorous protest against
this unwarrantable imprisonment bj
kicking open a door and stalking out
and that facetlous newspaper sug
gested to Mr.. Reed to chain the Demo
Gratis TO their desks. There will be ne
trouble about quorum in the mex
Congress. The voters have looked aftc
that by electing fullquorum Of Demo
Gratis and IS to spare.
