ond vice president; Rhody Kenehan,
third vice president; Thomas j. Elder
kin, fourth vice president; John B. Len

questions demand immediate consider

First and foremost is the reported de-
sire on the part of President Mcbride
to be relieved of the duties of his office.
For nearly two months he has been at
Hot Springs, Ark, endeavoring to re-
cuperate from a serious Illness, but his
condition has not materially improved,
and IL is evident that he Is unable TO
stand the amount of travel required of
the chief officer of the federation. While
silent on the subject himself, however,
his friends deny that his resignation
has been prepared. Among the matters
to be discussed is the schism in the
ranks of the National Brotherhood of
Painters and Decorators, the disagree
ment between the Society of Carpenters
and the Amalgamated Society Of Car
penters, the trouble between the Brew
ers' National Union and Local Union
No is of Chicago. the conflict between
the federation and the National Asso-
citation Of Tin. Sheet Iron and Cornice
Workers, and the charges that the last
state convention of the Illinois Fedora
ton was Illegally constituted.

SQUIRREL DISEASE IS DISAPPEARING
Palouse Farmers Must Depend Upon
Strychnine to Kill the Pests.

Colfax. April 23.-The failure of the
squirrel disease to create any extensive
fatality among the pests in this section
of the county. where they were thick
est, is proving quite a disappointment,
after the anticipated destruction While
the disease still continues to affect the
animals in small numbers, it is noticed
much less than few weeks ago. A gem
tleman who has lived here for the past
20 years tells of q disease among the
squirrels about the year 1850 which
killed them off SO thoroughly that they
caused no damage for several years.
Other old settlers who have been ques-
toned regarding this disease DO not re-
member noticing any disease. but think
the squirrels We're killed by the hard
winter, which all remember as killing
SO many range cattle. This was in the
winter of 1S79-S0. The winter turned
off warm in the latter part of January
and then became very cold and stormy
during February. This kind Of a win
ter was also experienced about five
years ago, and the squirrels were great
ly decreased that year. but since then
there has been little or no severely cold
weather in February And great many
old settlers think a February winter the
only absolute remedy for the pest.
William Lee, one OF the largest farm
ers in the vicinity of Lee Siding, was in
town yesterday buying his first supply
of poison. He is IN one of the worst
infested squirrel districts, and states
that the animals have only just begun
their raVages on his crOps.

A pillow of lilies of the valley surrounding the word "Samedi'' in blue immortelles oc- cupied the altar table. This was from the members of the Samedi Banjo club. The casket not being In church, the nu- merous casket bouquets were strewn on the pulpit stand and tables. One of these was a, cluster of twenty-one white roses from the parents of the deceased.
 The remarks by Dr. Twltchell showed the high esteem and respect in which the young man, who had but few months ago united with the Dwight Place church, was held. Rev. MT. Squires spoke of his connections with the church organizations in West Ha- ven, with particular reference to the young mems class, in which he was an acknowledged leader.

He will be sadly missed by large circle of friends.

Residents Objeot-Inju ction Proceedings Tinted At.
 The order passed last year by the court of common council providing for
 sewer to be constructed by the city
 through Prospect street from sachem street to Hillside Place, is now being put into execution and Is strongly ob- jected to by residents of the upper end of Prospect street. Many of these have already private sewer connections. Those opposing the sewer argue that the expense on the city will be enor- nous, as much of the sewer will have to go through solid rock, which must be blasted out.
 The contract was awarded to c. w. BIakeslee & Sons last week for about 5,700, with an additional sum per yard for all solid rock, and work was begun yesterday morning. Professor Ladd yesterday complained to the town agent and called attention to the ordi- nance forbidding blasting within the city limits without permission, It is probable that injunction proceedings will be brought by the residents of Upper Prospect street to prohibit fur ther work on the sewer.

AMERICAN SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF
Annual Meeting ofRthe Directors on Satur-
 dny.

Annual Meeting ofRthe Directors on Satur- day.
 The directors of the American School
 at Hartford for the Deaf, formerly known as the American asylum, held | their annual meeting, Saturday, ct the
 office of the president, the Hon. Fran eis B. Cooley, who presided. The various official reports were read and accepted-some for one year and some I for two years. The biennial report comes out this year.
 Dr. F. T. Simpson, the physician of the school, reported that the past two years had been marked by condition of excellent health among the pupils
 The very few deaths that had oc-
 cured had been from appendicitis, cons sumption and similar troubles. There
 had not been in two years one case of any of the contagious diseases, like
 diphtheria, scarlet fever or typhoid fever, that require the giving of Q mo- tice to the health authorities. This fact demonstrates the healthfulness of the
 buildings.
 Principal Job Williams reviewed the MOIh LII llG 0NliOOl anu IilG NdIlOuS changes in the force of teachers. The pupils now number 15S, being am in- crease of thirteen in two years.
 The report made Saturday to the board will be presented this week Sat urday at the annual meeting of the corporation, when the directors and officers will be elected for the ensuing year. This school receives pay from the state for pupils. Here a report is regularly published and the accounts are carefully audited by a. committee chosen by the directors, Governors of other states visit here frequently and the pupils from those states are called out and presented to them. Every thing at the Hartford school is open and above board and the more the work there is looked into by outsiders the better the management is suited
