BE NATURAL IN MANNER.
true Politeness Always Pays Due Regard
 to the Rights of Others

l true Poilteness Always Pays Due Regard to the Rights of Others.
 | Manner and manners are not precise | " synonymous. One may possess cere-
 monious manners and in conjunction
 With these have a manner which
 antagonizes the very people whom the | elaborate manners are intended to | please. boorish person may by dint
 or careful imitation acquire a veneer of
 courtesy, good so far as it goes, but
 when all is said only veneer. not the solld polish-bearing wood. 4 person ignorant of social usages and un- skilled in the conventionalities of the period may be distinguished by a manner essentially charm ing Manner is what we are, so to speak, in the grain. It is individuality.
 1t is the outshining of the soul Man
 ners are acquired by association, by
 contact, by slow degrees, through sev-
 eral generations, and by laborious eff
 Tort, line upon line, precept upon pre- cept, in each generation. We observe a similarity in the manner and in the
 manners of certain families Some
 times servants take on a likeness of
 manner to those with whom they live, as children do, personality being always a
 force and carrying with it impressive ness Of some sort. Both children and servants require molding, training, in manners, while manner comes to them
 as 1t were, without their knowledge.
 occasionally one meets gently bred, elderly person who has not adopted cer- tain forms and modes which are at present in vogue, and who innocentlv fails to meet the requirements of good lorna thing to be regretted, because the greater should everywhere include the less, and a well-bred manner should presuppose perfect manners. At all times the requirements of politeness are founded upon good sense, upon kind ness of heart, upon due regard for the rights of others. The rude, the brusoue. the abrupt, trample on the sensibilities ot their friends. as we'll as invade pro- priety, sometimes defending them selves as natural, and declaring that they abhor affectation and adore sincerity. They appear not to recognize the fallacy in this. A natural manner should of all man. ners in the world be sincere Sincerity does not imply brutality. Affectation IS less heinous an offense than cruelty, and cruelty exists wherever one person needlessly wounds another.
 Gentle manners do much to oil the machinery of life at home and in the community. It costs little effort to say Il thank you" and "If you please" to acknowledge every kindness as a favor worth appreciation; but were it other wise, effort in this direction would be well repaid. Especially in our inter- course with children or with the aged. with those who are in any way at dis advantage as compared with ourselves, should we be careful to exercise a cor dial politeness. If this be the manner ot our outlook on the world, it will in- huence our manners to all whom we Bazar.

GODDARD'S EASY FIGHT.
Peter Maher. "Irish Champion" Knocke
 Out in Three Rounds.

CoNEY ISLAND, N. Y., Dec. 9.-Joe Goddard, the Australian, had no difficulty in defeating Peter Maher, the 'Irish Cham pion," at the Coney Island Athletic club last night.
 The fight was a furious one from the start. Goddard hit Maher whenever and wherever he pleased, and knocked him out in the third round by terrific right hand blow on the side of the head.
 For fight that had been boomed so ex- tensively, there was comparatively little betting
 The general opinion among sporting men who saw Goddard for the first time is that the Australian will never do to fight Corbett or Jackson.

HOLMES LOT FAVORED.

The Library Agents Refuse to Give a
 Frontage For High School.
 The joint meeting of the board of edu- cation and district committee was well attended last evening.
 J. w. Webster, chairman of the joint committee, reported that the committee had waited on the board of agents of the Bronson library, and that they were not inclined to allow the district any of the Grand street front of their property as a site for High school. He thought that they would, however, allow the right of way to a site in the rear.
 MT Grelle stated that if the possible grant of an ingress from Grand street was all that could be expected, he thought the action of the library agents should be placed fully before the public, and moved that the board consider other sites.
 Judge Webster said there was a twenty foot passway on Field street to the Grand street park and if nassway could be obtained fromGrand street to rear site it would save the district $25, 900 or $30,000
 Chairman Mulcahy objected to the rear site as that would nullify the pro- ject of making a park out of the lot. He said that the board maintained that 100 feet of the 300 feet frontage, used for High school, would not injure the library building.
 MT Henderson looked with disfavor on the rear site and thought that the board should go on and purchase a site. MT Grelle then offered the following motion:
 "Whereas, The Bronson library agents decline to allow the High school build ing to be placed on any portion of the front of their lot on Grand street, or in deed to occupy any portion of their lot, and
 Whereas, The committee have exam ined many other pieces of land with a desire to locate new High school build ing thereon, therefore Voted, That this joint board recom- mend the purchase of all of the Holmes lot (so called) as the most desirable site. |" The motion was seconded by Chair man Mulcahy. The price asked for the Holmes property is $30,000. The Rob bins property on Leavenworth street, 94 feet deep, price $17,000, was dis cussed as an available site, but did not receive much support. pr Hayes objected to taking any de- cisive action. He could not give up all hope of getting a site on Grand public opinion should be secured and favored the circulation of a petition among representative men, and thought that some of the library agents might be brought around to consider the matter favorably.
 Chairman Mulcahy thought that MT Grelle's motion would cover what Dr Hayes desired.
 Dr Cook objected to the recommends tion of the purchase of the Holmes property. The motion was put, how ever, as read. and carried, Chairman Mulcahy, J. w. Webster, John Tender son, Jr, Moritz Grelle and Michael Begnal voting yea, and Dr Cook, Dr Hayes and William Leggett, nay. The signatures for a special meeting of the center district will be secured to- day, and at the adjourned meeting of the district committee this evening the meeting will be called.

A NIGHT OF MUSIC.

Recital and Concert at the Sacred Heart
 Church.
 The organ concert and recital given in the Sacred Heart church last evening was an artistic success. The pretty church was crowded and many visiting clergymen occupied seats in the chancel. Part first opened with an overture, formed by Prof E. V. Caulfield of Hart ford, who at once proved himself to be a master of the instrument. He plays with good expression and his execution, especially in the difficult closing over ture, "Ein morgen, ein mittag, ein abend in Wein," was the subject of much favorable comment.
 Prof Jno l.. Bonn, the talented young organist of the Immaculate Conception church, was in happy mood, and his se- lections showed excellent taste. His best work was sonata by Kreutzer, in part second. This, although not down on the programme, was one of the gems of the evening, :he pedal work being especially fine.
 The soloists all acquitted themselves in very creditable manner. Miss Anna T. Brady of Jersey City, soprano, rem dered two difficult selections, 'sTi tum Ergo" She possesses cultivated voice of good quality and is especially effective in the upper register. Miss A. Beere of New York was the favorite of the evening. She was most effective in ''Salve Maria" by Merca- dante. Her voice is rich contralto of wide range and great dramatic power. In part second Miss Beere rendered ''The Lost Chord" The accompani- ment was altogether too loud in the forte passages, detracting some what from the effectiveness of this number.
 "In Questa Tomba," by David Calla- han, bass soloist of St Mary's church in New Haven, was we'll rendered. It is a sweet composition by Beethoven, re- quiring voice of feeling and softness for it's effective rendition. In part second MT Callahan sung Paul Rodney s masterpiece, Calvary" with good ex- pression and perfect enunciation. The accompaniment was too soft for good effect.
 M. J. McEvoy, bass soloist of the church choir, was at his best in Wiegands 70 salutaris," and added to the pleasure of the evening. On the whole, the concert was thoroughly ap- preciated by the large audience.

REGISTRATION OF SECURITIES.

Advantages of Paying The State Taxes
 Early.
 The state treasurer has this year re- ceived large amount of securities for registration and the payment of the two mill state tax, under the investment law of 1889, than in any year except sthe first year since the law went into opera tion. Many of the securities which have been held by the owners for several years have been presented for registration for the first time, and it is assumed have not been scheduled in any tax list in town at the higher rate of taxation. In fact, persons presenting securities at the state treasurer's office recently have admitted that they had not previously listed them for taxation anywhere.
 In this connection it is we'll for holders of securities to remember that unless their securities are registered in the office of the state treasurer and the state tax of two mills per annum paid before October 1, such securities must be included in tax list to the assessors of the town in which the owner resides. Persons intending to register securities in the state treasurer's office should pre- sent them without delay and avoid the rush which will come at the latter part of the month.

IRON HALL.
Waterbury, Conn.

Much of the a5,OOO Held By the State
 Lodges Will be Spent in Law.
 Members of the Iron Hall in Connecti- cut claim that it was owing to the du- plicity of two officials of the Stamford lodge, & small body of 40 members, that receiver was appointed by Judge Ham for the order in Connecticut. John Faucett of Stamford, made the com plaint, and at the instigation, it is said, of Edwin L. Sohofield of the same lodge. Faucets action led to the ap- pointment of a receiver, and Schofield was the person selected for that pur- pose.
 The Indianapolis receiver, in pur- suance of his instructions from the court, will attempt to collect money from the Connecticut branches. Re- ceiver SchofieId will object and then will be defendant in suit brought by the Indianapolis receiver. He will pro bably lose and then he, as receiver for Connecticut, will be obliged to sue all the different lodges in the state. As a result the legal bill will be pretty high. It is perfectly legitimate, remember, but there will be mighty little of the $25, 900 now in the:order's treasury in this state.
