CONCENTRATIONS.
Honor to Whom Honor is Due.


 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER: the City of New Haven few weeks ago looking at the portraits of the former mayors of New Haven and it occurred to me that there was one inn portant omission in not having the portrait of the first mayor of this city, Roger sherman, mayor from 17S4 to 1793.
 sherman was most distinguished patriot of the American Revolution, a signer of the Declaration of Independ- ence, and bore very important part in the framing of, and the adoption of the constitution of the United States. To him this generation owe a lasting debt of gratitude; and there can at present be no more appropriate eX- pression of that obligation than to have his portrait grace the walls of the aldermanic chamber. It is to such patriots that we owe our present free dom to worship God according to the dictates of our own convictions without regard to creed, to pursue, life, liberty and happiness under law and that the law is no respector of persons-equal justice to all.
 l offer this suggestion for the con- sideration of, and action by the present aldermen and councilmen of this city, viz: to place the portrait of Roger sherman on the walls of the hall of their assembling, thinking that every republican and democrat of that body will manifest his patriotism by voting to thus honor so illustrlous a patriot.

 In foot wear the tailor girl goes in for laced boots that come almost to the calf of the leg. They are cut and fin- ished quite as a mans shoe is. and are thick soled and business-like. In ex- treme weather she wears over them A. light rubber that looks when on like a, patent leather vamp to the shoe. These rubbers are not worn after the three or four times that suffice to dim their brilliancy. The girls who are given to frivolity wear dainty low shoes, either patent leather or bronze. and transparent silk stockings to match. When she puts her dainty toes out of doors they are swallowed up in high, rubber lined, buttoned overshoes that are tiny for all their roominess for the said little toes. These overshoes are supposed to come off in the theatre or restaurant and a lot of nuisance they are, but they make an effective covering for wee feet.
 for dflVlng Tn severe weather there are high shoes of quilted satin outside and pussy fur or sealsl1in inside. No matter how fond of driving you may be, it is a severe test of enthusiasm to have ice cold feet, and to have them comfortable in pair of these snug shoes will be to leave the mind free to attend to the scenery and whatever TO- nance may be on hand

Stark Rahman, Hindoo of Calcutta, India, and an adherent of the Mohamet- an faith, died the other day in the Grady Hospital, Atlanta, Ga. Before dying he made the following declara- tion: Science is great, like God. I am nobody-a stranger in a strange land. What Is man after death but a shell! The being is gone; the clay is left. l care not what comes of me after the breath is gone. My body may help science. I want you to give it to the colleges"

Thirty-six tons of caterpillars and a large number of cocoons were destroyed in the effort to drive the pest from the young plantations of trees on Hong Kong Island. They appeared on the pine trees with which the Government is trying to reafforest the island, and lasted for two months. Stations were established where the caterpillars were received and paid for by weight; this method seems to have been successful. It is estimated that 95,OOo,OoO insects were killed.

A concrete bridge having clear span of 164 feet and 26 feet wide was recent ly constructed over the Danube at Nun derkingen, in Austria. Stone is scare and dear there, while good Portland cement is produced in large quantities. The centering was covered with oiled naper. on which the concrete was laid, consisting of one part cement, 2h parts sand, and five broken stone, all thoroughly mixed. Blocks of this con- crete have shown a resistance of 1S7 tons per square foot in seven days, 2S5 tons in 2S days and sos tons in five months. The concrete was applied in layers twelve inches thick, starting at the aIbutments and working toward the crown, where it is 3A feet thick; mid
 way to the crown it is AZ feet thick. The time spent in laying the concrete was only nineteen days, and ten days after the centers were struck. The de- flection proved less than Az inches.

The Investors Review publishes list of about one hundred government and corporation stocks which closed the year 1894 at a remarkable advance in price oyer the beginning Of it. Consols, for example, sold at 9S1s in January, 1894, but reached 1OSA in December. Hungarian 4 per cents rose from 94 to 101A.. So with a long line of securities which can truly be called gilt-edged. Indeed, the Review deems the high prices for such stocks excessive, and possible only because there are so many people just now to whom safety is the first consideration, and the amount of interest a secondary matter.

Eugene O'Groserney, profess sor of Gaelic in Maynooth college, Ire land, who has gone to California for his health, is one of the leaders in the new Gaelic movement in Ireland, which has for it's object the preservation of the Irish language. In speaking on the subject the other day, he said: 'It seems to be the general impression that the Irish language is a dead one. This is by no means true There are in Ireland to-day 8O,OOO persons who speak no oth- CT tongue, and 25O,OOO who speak both English and Irish. do not doubt that there are in this country fully 2,OOO,OOO people who can speak the language"

date enjoyed the most successful season,
both financially and socially, that has
been experienced for some years. A ma
jority OF the men have played or
sung with the club for the past three
years and to the benefit OF va
ried experience has been adssd
the advantage OF continual practice. Two
years ago Signor Romero, well known
in musical circles, was engaged to instruct
the banjo and mandolin clubs, aud the
good effects OF his training are still very
evident. N. b. Sprague, OF this city, hes
assisted In the selection OF the voices for
the Glee Club, and in the training OF the
club when 1t was chosen.
To the average man In the audience II
seems as IL the college boys found 1t easy
to sing and play, and that IT was a very
soft snap to go travelling around the
country entertaining the most select
audiences at every stopping place. But
when one knows the facts ofthe case he
thinks different.
The naturalness and elegance of the
music rendered by the club is only the
fruition OF much musical talent and OF
long, patient, intelligent practice.
The first OF the year, everyone in Brow n
Is given chance to try for the club.
This year about 80 voices were tested,

lar or none so universally welcomed
as that which represents the
musical talent of college students,
generally appearing before the public In
the shape of glee, banjo, guitar and man
dolin clubs. Such clubs exist in almost
every institution OF learning of reputable
size in the country, and the enthusiasm
with which they are greeted on every
hand has been productive of a constant
growth and progress.
The peculiar charm and attrsctiveness
that has gained such hold on popular
sympathy is undoubtedly due TO the fact
that the musicians are all intelligent
young men, and their music is but the
expression of their jollity and bright
hopes of the future.
Among college musical organizations,
those from Brown University have always
enjoyed well founded reputation, based
upon the individual skill OF the mem bers
and the execution OF the whole, so that
today the announcement OF "Concert by
the Brown Glee, Banjo and Mandolin
Club" Is an assurance OF the best kind of
an evenings entertainment.
The Brown Glee Club was much earlier
established than the instrumental clubs.
We have full record OF a glee club in 1869
composed Of eight members, among which
are the we'll known names of David w.
Hoyt, principal of the Providence High
School; Professor Liscomb and jeffrey
Davis. At about the same time each class
had its own band of vocalists mum mbering
from four to sixteen, and the evening air
was often filed with the strains OF the
rival clubs, commencing the good luck
possessed by members OF their class,
and deprecating the misfortune OF
existence In any other class.
Later the Greek letter fraternitIes estab
lished quartsts, which, however, enjoyed
but short existence. Other sopgsters OF
the time have left to posterity such names
as Hope College Serenaders," "Gideon's
Band, "Warblers of the Might" and
. The Heavenly Choir
Within the last ten years the banjo and
mandolin clubs came into being, and were
so cordially received that in 1890 it was
deemed advisable to consolidate the vocal
and instrumental societies into one
organization to be known as "The
Brown University Glee, Banjo and Man
dolin Club" Under this name the musi-
cal representatives Of Brown have dis
corrsed sweet music far and wide, each
year increasing in popularity, and joining
IN artistic ability.
