 ing.
 A musicale was giver at the residence of Oscar L. Woodruff, at 51 Lafayette street, in honor of his daughter, Miss Bernice, last evening, and was g very interesting occasion for all present. Miss Jessie Holt rendered a piano solo in an admirable manner, ss did also Miss Woodruff; a vio- lin solo was given by Miss Nellie Johnson, accompanied by Miss May Dam, and was much appreciated, as was also flute solo by Rev A. M. Sherman of Whippany, N. J. One of the best numbers on the pro- gram WAS the zlther solo by Miss Clara Sherman, who was encored again and again. Her selections afforded much en- ioyment, and she certainly evinoed herself to be an artist in the use of this difficult instrument. At late hour sll sat down to banquet prepared by Mr. and Mrs. Woodruff. Among those present were MT. George Woodruff of Plainville, Mr. George Sherman, MT. Johnson, Miss Sarah Johnson and others.

MAYOR sARGEnT,s NovErPLAN

 To Raise one Hundred Thousand Dollars for Current Expenditures l Until NOvember-The Mayors Plan | to Borrow the Money From Citize1s | In Sums of One Hundred Dollars and l Upwards and Fay Five Per Cent. Therefor. J
 Mayor Sargent proposes that in order to Tighten the present fuancf4 >stripgsncy the people be given an opportunity to loan money which they msy have saved up to the city in sums of $10O and upwards and receive per cent. interest on the amount loaned until November 1.
 The time for paying the taxes of New Haven having been extended two months by the state legislature,i it will be necessary for the city to borrow about $1OO, 1000 for current expenditures to November.
 Mayor Sargent now proposes in view Of this necessity on the part of the city that the latter offer to the public to borrow from all citizens of New Haven who have any amount of money from $100 up. As se- curity for the money the mayor offers the city's notes, payable on demand after Mo- vember 6, with interest at 5 per cent. per annum, but which shall not draw interest after November 15, which is the date set for the redemption of the notes by the city. It must not bs understood that should it happen that the notes were not presented for redemption by November 15 that the , holder would lose anything by the transac- , 1 tion, for the notes would be good at all times, but interest would then cease.
 The mayor has adequate power to make this offer: being go empowered by the char ter and resolution adopted by the court of common council.
 Acting under this authority, the mayo, , and others of the committee have already Q borrowed the sum of $25O, which it wat believed would carry the city along unti 8 such time as the taxos would become due . It transpired, however, that the time fol the collection of taxes was extended by tht last legislature, which was not foreseen a
 the time the original loan was secured f hence the need of the $l00, 900.

Odd Freak of a Somnabulist.

memphis AppealAvalanche.
Thursday night about IL O'Clock, as
Professor Lewelen OF Henderson,
Tenn, was passing along the main
street in front of the courthouse, he
was astonished to meet Rev. Mr.. Rod
gers, the pastor of the Christian
church, atlired in only u nightshirt
and wide brimmed straw hat. As
the pastor went by Professor Lewelen
noticed that his eyes were tightly
closed, and surmising that he was a
somnambulist determined to follow
him. When Mr.. Rodgers reached the
gate of the courthouse yard, he en-
tered, closely followed by Professor
Lewelen, and walking to the south
side OF the courthouse he grasped the
lightning rod and began to ascend.
Selling him by the shirt, Professor
Lewelen endeavored to pull him down,
but the cloth gave way, and the minis
ter climbed to the cornice and then
climbed to the top of the incline OF the
roof. Seating himself on the roof, he
slid to the bottom of the incline
catching by slight projection at the
very edge. He continued this per-
formance until the professor became
alarmed, and selling the rope of the
courthouse bell began to ring for help.
The people of the town assembled in
the yard to the number OF nearly 800
and watched the minister's antics for
nearly half an hour. At the end of
this time he descended the rod, and
passing through the crowd made his
way to his boarding place. On being
interviewed the next morning he de.
clared that he knew nothing of what
had happened the night before. He
now sleeps with his leg chained to the
bedpOst.

We sat around for an hour, and Pa said
1t was a long time getting daylight, and
bimeby Pa looked at his watch.
When he began to pull ont his watch,
lit out and hid in the storeroom, and
pretty soon heard Pa and Ma come up
stairs and 90 to bed, and then the hired
girls they went TO bed, and when it was
all still and the pain had stopped inside
of my clothes went to bed, and l looked
to see what time it was, and it was 2
o'clock in the morning. We got dinner
at o'clock in the morning, and Pa said
he Guessed he would call up the house
after this. so have lost another job. and
it was all on account of that bottle Of
picked oysters you gave me. My chum
says he had colo, too, but he didn't call
up his folks. 1t was all he could do to
get up hisself. Why don't you some

"Well. you are a cruel, bad boy" said
the grocery man as he went to the book
and charged the shillings.
ooh, don't know. think Pa is cruel.
A man who will take poor kitty by the
neck that hasn't done any harm and tries
to chastise the poor thing with a trunk
strap ought to be looked after by the
humane society. And if it is cruel to
take cat by the neck how much more
cruel is it to take boy by the neck that
had diphtheria only few years ago
and whose throat is tender. Say. l guess
l will accept your invitation to take
breakfast with you," and the boy cut off
piece of bologna and helped himself to
the crackers. and while the grocery man
was out shoveling off the snow from the
sidewalk the boy filled his pockets with
raisins and loaf sugar, and then went
out to watch the man carry in his kin
ding wood.

exodus will continue until only a few

Hurrah for our goOdly number!
We roam on the roads of the open land,
We ply our plant as VIC onward plod:

Our grip, the trick of an upturned hand;
Our shibboleth.
But pleading breath;
A tINp bling lip and a dear demand,

lean lot w0 Of the beggar clan;
Hurrah for the thirsts that thin usi
We've been Afoot since the world began.
One yearns for gold, and one Graves fol

One starves for art. and one longs for fame;
And not the least OF the caravan
Faint ut the start
From hungry heart,
But struggle on as beseems u man.
Hurrah for the wants within usI
A proud crowd we of the beggar tribe;
Hurrah for each tear and tatteri
We scOrn the eQualOr our rags desCrlba.
But fan would fashion by fairer men
To hide our needs from our neighbours ken;
We fear his tiout and we lOath his gibc
Well bear our pain
But well not deign
To win wealth with our tears as bribe
Hurrah! What do heart-breaks matter?
A queer crew We of the beggar kin;
Hurrah for us all together!
We love and hate. and we strive and sin,
We stumble oft on the stony ways
Like children child for their skyward gaze,
But up again and our tramp begin.
Through sun and rain
And through Joy and palm,
With the hope of heaven we all may win.
AurZsh for the storms we weather.

Wood That SINKS in Water.

There are 413 species of trees found
within the limits of the United States
and territories, sixteen of which, when
perfectly seasoned. will sink in water.
The heaviest of these is the black IRON
wood (Condalia ferrea). found only in
southern Florida, which is more than
80 per cent heavier than water. OF
the other fifteen the best known is the
lignum vitae (Guaiacum sanctum).
and the mangrove (rhizophora man
gle). Texas and New Mexico. lands
full ofqu 'er. creeping. crawling, walk
ing, and inanimate things, are the
homes Of species of oak (quercus
grisea) which is about one and fourth
times heavier than water, and which.
when green, will sink almost as quick
ss bar of iron. 1t grows only in
mountain regions. and has been found
westward as far as the Colorado des-
ert. where it grows at an elevation Of
10000 feet. All the species heavier
than water belong to tropical Florida
or in the arid west and southwest.
