THE LATE ALFRED [. SPENCER
Of Spencer, Matthews & Co.--Graduated
 Yale in '02.

Of Spencer, Matthews & Co.--Graduated at
 Yale in '02.
 After a long illness patiently borne, Alfred Lawrence Spencer passed away Friday morning last.
 Under advice of physicians, and with his own approval, he was taken to the Adirondacks about three weeks ago and seemed to improve at once, but his tedious illness had undermined his strength and a relapse came, from which he did not recover. MT. Spen- cer's home was with his father, and he had the benefit of New Haven S best medical skill and the devotedness of thoroughly competent, conscien- tious nurse, besides the loving Tnin- istrati tions of the members of the fan1i- ly. The death of MT. Spencer is one of those sad events that seem very hard for those nearest to him to bear, for he was on the threshold of life and an only son, who had been given every advantage in life that father could provide, and his career seemed to be opening most successfully, He had, only year or two ago, been taken as a partner into the firm of which his father, Frank E. Spencer, was the senior member.
 Young MT. Spencer graduated from Yale in 1891, and was at the time of his death a member of the University and Quinnipiac clubs of New Haven and of the -Kappa-E of New York. During his senior year he was an editor of the Yale Record. He was popular and strong in his friend ships.
 The funeral services will be held from his late residence, 1144 Chapel street this CMonday) afternoon at 2:30. The interment will be in the old Grove street

should Women Vote?

Woman suffrage was the subject discussed
last night at the Y NJ @ A Lycoum The mem
bers or the women's Suffrage clubs OF the
city had been especially invited and the good
sized audience of members and friends OF the
Lyceum was we'll sprinkled with women who
desired the privilege OF the ballot
Despite the arguments of the disputants in
the negative these apparently were not con-
vinced that woman's sphere is nobler than
that of law-malsing, for the sentiment OF the
audience at the close of the meeting was that
the right of suffrage should be extended to
women
The debate was spirited and interesting
Messrs Daniel A Cook and Walter Belcher
championed the cause of woman's suffrage
and George p Peterson and Cassius Knee
land were the chosen speakers in the negative
The judges were Messrs Howard Fuller
George " Butterworth and DIR Clark and
| in tho opinion Of these gentlemen the merits
| of the argument rested with the speakers IN
the affirmative

committees, which were very interesting,

sionary from Leeds, England, gave a very
interesting account of the wofk, and its
results which lent inspiration to the
women OF Ruggles Street Church; ana
led them to divide up the parish into dis

for the purpose. of doing more effective
and systematic work.
After meeting they all sat down to tea

TRIAL SCORES.
There Are 81 Sharpshooters and 123
Marksmen in the Brigade.

The season for rifle practice at the sta te
range is over and the complete scores OF
the officers and men OF the militia who
have competed have been compiled
by the assistant inspector OF rifle practice,
Captain Irving w. Young OF the brigade
staff =.
The totals are % marksmen and 81
sharp shooters which is good showing
in comparison with the figures OF last
year when only 10 men qualified as sharp
shooters and 20 as marksmen. still the
officials do not care TO boast OF thls
wears record on the contrary they claim
that the capacity OF the brigade Tor tar
get shooting has been, by no means,
fully shown anc that with better condi-
tions there would have been over 200
TO qualify as marksmen ana sharp
shooters.
The season should have commenced
sooner when the weather was warmer
and when the men could more easily take
their time from work for practice. Dur
ing the last month there have been cross
winds blowing anywhere from 10 TO 10
miles an hour which have greatly inter
fered with effective shooting and maoe
work at the range most disagreeable.
The assistant inspector will recon-.
mend In his annual report that new and
better range nearer the city, with dls'
tances up TO 1000 yards, be procured IN
place OF the one now used, and that the
season begin as early as May and that
| team be sent to Sea Girt.
In substituting inexperienced markers

many Is and 5s have been tagged as
