In England and all over Europe pine
apples, or pines" are eaten only bv
the few who can afford 10 raise them in

other side Of the Atlantic that they are
sometimes hired TO impart a GROWING
glory TO banquets. where they may be
admired and longed for, but not eaten.
In England a pound, or s., is considered
a reasonable price for dollhouse

 Reports.
 The annual meeting of the New Haven dispensary was held at the buildingon York street last evening. MT. Max Adler presided. In the seoretary's report it ap- peared that there were 7 ,s7l people treated as against 6 579 last year. There were 5, 1885 new patients. They were distributed as follows in regard to nationalities: Born in the United States l 100, England 80, Can ada 43, Austria Il, Africa Al, France IA, German 136, Ireland 5s3, Italy 200, Rus sia and Poland 763, Scotland 2s. The most noticeable increase has been in the Russian contingent
 or the people applying for medical treat ment, all of whom are too poor to pay for 1t, there has been a very noticeable in- crease among the trades people. The fol- lowing table will show the increase in some of the trades:
Morning journal and courier., 1893-11-15

The work has been increasing steadily since 1888, when there were 2,595 cases treated. Owing to the large expense incur red by treating the immense number that have applied this year, $100 more than the income has been spent; that is to say, they have spent $2, 300 and only received $2,200. Thus they are depending on their friends for sub scriptions to make up the balance. I'm. provements to the extent of $300 have been made about the building. Owing to tho assistance given by the medical students a great deal moro has been done than other wise could have been. Drs. A. N. filling, L. B. Bishop. R. H. Mcdonnell, W. H. Stowe and Elcock have been added to the clinic in place of Drs- Foote, Cahill, Park, Ferris and Woodward, resigned.
 The following managers were elected for terms of three years: Justus s. Hotchkiss, Eli Whitney, jr., T. Attwater Barnes, Henry B. Sargent, Herbert E. Smith. Dr.. T. H. Bishop was elected to the board of managers to fill an unexp,red term of one year. The meeting of the board of man. agers will be held this afternoon st o'clock at William T.

MORE DETECTIVES NEEDED.

s " smith Desires Two g Detectives, one Tor station 3 and
 One for Station 1.-The Latter Station
 to Be at DixweIl Avenue and Web-
 ster Street After January l.
 At the meeting of the police commission CTS last evening Commissioners Andrews, Prince, Platt, Clancy and Gilhuly were present. Five applicants for positions on the force were present and examined, after which their applications were ordered on file.
 Superintendent Smith appeared before the board and recommended that detec- lives be appointed and detailed to stations and so as to look after the requirements of these stations. These men, the super intendent said, did not need to be appoint ed sergeants, but should be detailed exclu- sively to detective work. These men, he thought, should report at police headquar- ters, and after conferring with the older l detectives, then start out on their respec- tive territories. These men could also be used te help out the regular detectives in case of press of business, and in the event | of there being no special work for them | to do they could occupy their time in 1 searching among the pawn shops, saloone 1 and junk shops for stolen articles.
 The proposition met with the instanta- | neous approval of the commissioners, but the only thing which seemed to phase them l was as to how the selection should bs
 made. The suggestion was made that no permanent detail should be made from
 the men on duty at the two stations, but
 that until satisfactory man was secured one man should be detailed for period ot 1 three months and later, when the best mar
 had been obtained, one who showed { special fitness for the work, 1t would bs time enough to detail him permanently. | The board decided that in @ matter o
 such importance no haste should be taker
 in the matter, and in consequence th'
 matter went over until some future time
 The superintendent also recommended
 that the members of the police departmen
 be required to wear 8 drab oolored, hnet
 dress glove while on day duty during thu
 winter months, and the superintendent
 was instructed to order the men to proour
 such gloves.
 The question of new police station ol
 Dixwell avenue was brought up and con
 siderable discussion ensued, during tn
 course of which 1t came out that the pres
 ent quarters were much too small to mee
 the requirements of the department
 Finally on motion of Commissioner Plat it was voted that the committee ol
 leases, consisting of Commissioners
 Prince and Andrews, negotiate 8 leas for the property at the corne of Dixwell avenue and Webster street flo
 period of eighteen months at a monthl rental of SIS and for the next year or tw l, years, if possible, at 8 monthly rental c $25. The date of taking possession of tn , new quarters was fixed at December l 1893. Commissioner Gilhuly opposed th plan of purchasing the property and estat fishing 8 precinct in that section of th city, and claimed that when the city we able to build a new precinct it should built somewhere in the Fourth ward. On motion of Commissioner Gilhuly tt , l superintendent was instructed to deta l Supernumerary Patrick AcQueeney fe duty.
