An enjoyable time was spent last even
ing in the parlors of the Humphrey street
Congregational church. The occasion was
an oyster supper and entertainment. The
amusing part of the evening was the pre-
psration of the oyster supper by the men.
This they did successfully, being strength
ened in their efforts by Captain Brewer of
the police force, who is an adept in pre-.
pairing oyster stews The success of the
culinary operations of the masculine
cooks was testified to by the manner in
which the guests psrtook of the oyster
supper. After the supper the entertain
ing literary and musical program provided
was rendered very successfully.

plant against the State Street Horse Rail
road company. He said: "Some time ago
the city and the car company entered into
an agreement in reference to clearing away
the snow along the line. The city was to
clear portion of the streets and the COM
pany the balance. The city has done its
part of the work, but the company has
not, nor will they pay any attention to
anything tell them. The road has used
snow pillow and left the snow piled up in
ridges all along the line"
The board dsliberated over the matter
and finally decided to refer 1t to the mayor
and superintendent of streets, with power
to act. This means that unless the road
ful6ls its part of the agreement 1t will be
eDioined from using its snow pillow any
more.

A TRIBUTE

A TRIBUTE
From the 0mcers and Directors of
the National Tradesmen's Bank.
NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Jan. 81, 1894.
Memorial of the officers and directors of
the National Tradesmen's bank to their
late friend and associate, Andrew L. Kid
ston:
The death of Mr.. Kidston calls for more
than q passing notice from the officers and
directors of this bank. He was one of Its
founders In 1856 and hes been a director
in it for nearly forty consecutive years
As director he felt his responsibility, was
conscientious In the diecharRe of the duties
pertaining thereto, and his opinions were
highly regarded by his associates. He was
deliberate and careful in reaching conclu-
sions, but frank and decided in expressing
them. He had the diligent habits and
conservative traits of the New Haven bus
mess men of eixty years ago-most of
these men were bis associates and friends
and 1t was in contact with them that his
was not averse to new methods, and his
kindly instincts Taught him how to differ
| from bis associates without offense.
| without q family, be had warm friends,
and he deserved them, for he was friendly,
true, faithful to every trust and incapable
| of questionable action.
His long and honorable life having
closed, we part from him with sincere re-
greet, and we shall always respect and
cherish his memory.
| Attest: W. T. FIELDS,
| Secretary of the Board of Directors.
