A SCHEME TO HELP THE POOR.

Mayor Sargent Suggests That the
 Board of Selectmen or the Park
 mmtssioners Appropriate $1O,-
 OOe for the Improvement of Unim-
 proved City Parks.
 Mayor Sargent has new scheme for giy- ing work to the worthy poor of the city, which promises to be a success. On his own motion he sent communication to the board of seleetmen through a commit tee which was in session yesterday after noon in order that it might come up before the joint meeting of tue park commission CTS and board of selectmen which Is to be held tomorrow evening.
 In his communication Mayor Sargent calls attention to the fact that the park commissioners have purchased quite large quantity of land in 8 rough condition in the last two or three years. It was intend ed that the improvements on these lands should be spread along over several years, perhaps fifteen or twenty.
 Mayor Sargent suggests that either the board of selectmen themselves or 8 town meeting, should they decide to call one, might make an appropriation of SIG, ,00O or some other sum, and that it be used during the fall and the early part of the winter to employ men who are out of employment in preparing the land for the purposes for which it was designed. The money which would be thus expended would not be thrown away, but 1t would be doing work which will eventually have to be done. There will have to be appropriations in the future, but if this large appropriation is made now those in the future will be smaller.
 Mayor Sargent says that he only offers this as suggestion for the consideration of the board of selectmen and the park commissioners either separately or in joint meeting, and that he is not at all sure whether he will approve or disapprove.

On Their Return Home From Their
 Summer Vacation.
 Mrs. Rufus W. Carley of 133 College street returned home Tuesday from five weeks' stay in Massachusetts to find that her house had been ransscked by burglars during her absence, and things in the rooms turned topsy-turvy. She and her son, Ira, who is Yale senior and who had also been away, were astonished at the ap- pearance of the house. They immediately notify the authorities. Upon 6 more thor ough investigation 1t was found that none of the silverplate, in fact none of the valu- ables, had been taken. A few articles of clothing of minor value was all that is missing. From this state of things 1t is inferred that the burglars must have been frightened of before finishing their work. A singular thing is that three clocks in the house had been wound up and set agoing by the burglars. The police are investiga. ting. No notice had been given to the police by the occupants that the house was to be left vacant, hence the house was not specially looked after during the interim.

LIBRARY ASSOCIATION.

Features of the Recent Annual
 Meeting Held in Norfolk-Addresses
 by Professor Van Name and MT.
 Hitler of New Haven-Tho officers
 of the Association.
 The autumn meeting of the Connecti- cut Library association was held in the Library building in Norfolk on Monday afternoon. Professor Van Name, librarian of Yale college, gave su interesting talk on the subject. He thought free access could be allowed in the country, but not in city.
 In college shelves the custom differs. In New Haven we admit freely. We have shelves of about 5000 volumes, to which we give access .o all. In the society library we limit to a psrson forty volumes year. He spoke of the losses of books to libraries and said In the Strassburg library in Germany 1t is said the loss amounted to 40 per cent. He also spoke of some ancient books in an English library, which are chained to the desks, and exhibited one of them, having on it the iron ring to which the chain was attached. It was printed in Cologne in 1504 MT. Poole Of New York, librarian of the Y. M. o. A, of that city, was called upon. He said in New York he was on one side of the question | and in Norfolk on the other side The as- | sociation of which he is the librarian has 8 | library of 40, 900 volumes. Free access is | allowed and about 150 volumes a year are missed. MT. Besrdsley of the Plymouth library said he let people help themselves II o,a1 f1r la furn | lost one book. Miss Hills of the Bridge port library said our people have free ac- | cess to all reference books, but do not al low free access to the shelves. Some books have been found that were out for twelve years. Miss Maltbie of Falls Village library said we allow free access and in two years have lost no books at all.
 MT. Hitler, president of the New Haven Free library, also spoke at considerable length against free access. He said il could not be allowed in large library like
 theirs in large city, where they frequent ly give out 200 volumes day.
 The officers of the association are: Pres
 ident, Rev. Samuel Hart, Trinity college
 Hartford; vice presidents, H. F. Bsssett

 'The fact of her life, that Mrs. Fillmore clung to the consciousness of to the last was. that she was born in Waterbury, Conn. When she was one hundred she could have given information concerning the Waterbury of one hundred years ago, but in recent months it was too late." The health of Mrs. Fillmore was remark able until within @ few months of her death. On New Years day, 1893, she ate at ten different times, and had bread and milk additional in the night.
