STATE POLITICS.

=
 The Senate to Hold a Short ses.io n To-Day-The Coming Appointment Of County Commissioners. HARTFORD, May 13.-The senate will con- vene again at Il o'clock tomorrow. The session will be short.
 The one and perhaps only thing which will be done will be the calling from the table of the resolution nominating trustees of the Meriden reform school. This will be put upon it's passage, probably without much ado.
 The same policy will probably be pur- sued with reference to the reform school as was with the trustees of the Middletown insane asylum-all elected being demo- crats.
 The special committee appointed to in vestigate the county commissioners of the state have done nothing as yet. The terms of the commissioners ending
 this year expire on the 1st of July, and Governor Bulkeley will, on or be- fore that date, make appointments to the sixteen vacancies occuffng-two in each county. These appointees will hold office only until the latter part of January, 1893. Had the legislature made the appoint ments their commissions would run until 1895. Under the circumstances, the terms of all the members of the board in each county will expire in January, 1893, so that the legislature of that year will have full board of three to appoint ia each county, making an aggregate of twenty four, instead of sixteen, as usual It is understood that-A. B. Durham of Seymour, and Cecil A. Burleigh' of Ham den, whose terms expire in July, are the strongest men in the field in New Haven county, at present, and that the chances at this time favor their re-appointment However, other claimants are expected to spring up before July 1.
 Representative Robert O. Eaton of North Haven has just been appointed to the deputy dairy commissionership. The other aspirant was Robert A. Potter of Bristol.

K. M. s. PINAFORE.

The Recent Trouble Arranged - What Miss Schneeloch Says About the AHair-A New ButtercuP and Hebe Seeured-TO Appear fin Hart- ford May 22.
 The recent trouble in the ranks of the Dessauer Opera company has been ar ranged and that good old ship Pinafore will now proceed on it's voyage around the state as peacefully as ever. The trou- ble was caused by the demands of Messrs Ensign and Harwood, Madame Oertel and Misses Sullivan and Schnee- loch for more salary which resulted in the dropping from the ranks of Madame Oerte1 and Miss SchneeIoch.
 Miss Ingersoll was seen, and said that while she exceedingly regretted the occurrence that it would, however, not in terfere in any way with future produc- tions of the opera. "Whatever differences have existed heretofore between other | members of the company and the manage ment have been arranged and everything | will now move along as smoothly as here l tofore. Miss Sullivan will remain with | the company, as will also Messrs Ensign and Harwood, and I have secured Mrs Frank Nelson, who will impersonate Lit tie Buttercup' and Miss Lizzie Ryley 'Hebe in all future productions.
 | Miss Schneeloch was seen last evening il reference to the trouble and stated that sh, did not desire to say anything about thu | matter but there were just one or two dis l crepancies which she desired to correct il the statement made in the evening papers "In the first place." said she, "we onl. desired $25 for each performance in th city and $10 out of town, and not $75 pc night, as seems to be the impression ere ated by the article in question. In tn next place, as far as I am concerned no agreement had ever been made with m as regards salary, either before or aftel the production; in fact I have not had an, conversation with Miss Ingersol since tn last performance in this city. As for re ceiving notice that I am not connecte, with the company any longer, such notif cation has not as yet been received by me am very sorry the trouble has arisen, ,an do not wish to say anything further upol the subject"
 Manager G. B. Bunnell and Treasure Van Buren went to Hartford yesterday i the interest of the Dessauer Opera con pany, and were fortunate in securing tn commodious armory of the Foot Guard where the opera will be presented on Fri day evening, May 9, at the earnest solic tation of many of Miss IngersolPs persons friends in that city.

SOME FIGURES.

Immense Expense of Running the
 Barnum & Bailey ShOw-A Little
 Shopping Done Here Yesterday. An idea of the immense amount of money required to run the big Barnum & Bailey show can be had from the following fig ures: The advance agents purchased yes terday from Betts & filling, the feed deal CTS in this city, 20, ,OOO pounds of hay, ,16, ,OOO pounds of straw, $500 pounds of oats, 800 pounds of bran and 2,240 pounds of corn They also purchased few days ago 5000 pounds of flour to be used in making the paste for bill posting in this city. When the expenses for salaries, travelling. light ing, feeding the immense number of em- ployes, etc., is compared with this small item the figures must be enormous, and it seems hardly possible that there could be that much money cleared from only the two performances given in the one day they are in this city.

Plant Trees.

To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Sometimes one hears when speaking of planting trees and making improvements the remark: "They wouldn't mature in my lifetime, and don't care for posterity. " As refutation of the first statement, 1 would call attention to the lovely trees on beautiful Whitney avenue, all of which were planted by our esteemed fellow citi- zen, Hon. Eli Whitney, who still lives to enjoy them, and we trust will be spared
 Like MT. Hillhouse, who planted the trees in and about the old green, Temple street and Hillhouse avenue, all of which add so much to the beauty of New Haven, so MT. Whitney's name will go down to posterity as public benefactor, and as one who did tcaree for posterity," and has lived to see the labor of his hands mature in his lifetime.

 What q Reflective New Haven Man Thought of While RuraIfzfng fin That City in the Fearful Month of April.
 A New Havener just returned from the south, an ex-superintendent of Humphrey street church Sunday school, was talking with friend on Chapel street yesterday regarding his trip, and spoke especially with reference to his stay in Charleston, s. o. He had made up his mind before starting to spend part of April in old Charleston and he carried out that pur- pose to his own complete satisfaction. spend the month of April in than Charles ton can, he thinks, be found-when nature is emerging beautifully and triumphantly from her long winters sleep. One thing while he was in Charles ton very forcibly reminded him that New Haven is one of the most favored cities of the union as regards postal affairs. In picking up the Charleston papers, he noticed that the list of advertised letters numbered between sixty and seventy 8 week, 8 contrast most striking to New Ha- ven's, which our unceasingly vigilant and thorough going postofice people keep down to almost nothing. And Charleston is only little more than half as large as New Haven. Verify New Haven sets 8 good example in the management of it's postoffce to the world at large in. this matter of advertised letters as well as in every other one of ite various depart ments
