Newcomb on Revolutionary Songs and Music," in which she gave a short history of some of the songs written and used during the Revolu- tionary times, Some of these songs have never been entirely forgotten, while others of them were never set to music. A special feature of the paper was the description of how these songs were sung in the good old days" Mrs. Newcomb read several of these old songs, both patriotic and sacred. Among them were mentioned several songs and song writers famous in Connecticut in their day, notably Joel Barlow, John Trumbull, David Humphreys and Timothy Dwight. There was also one now extant by Tater St Tohn on 'oTaxafion in North America" which was especially stir ring in Revolutionary times. Mrs. Newcomb has studied these old ballads carefully and has searched libraries in Chicago and Boston, and other large libraries throughout the country to find material with which to continue her research. She considers as especially fine the Patriots Appear by John Dickinson.
 During the meeting several of these old long forgotten songs were sung by the ladies present, among them be- ing "The Boston Tea Party" sung to a good old tune called "The Hosiers- ghost" an old English melody.
 Mrs. Arthur Bradley recited "The Battle of the Kings" a piece describ- tion, and the Liberty Tree" written by Thomas Paine.

Governor Mckinley Tells Some Facts to the
 People of Rochester.

Rochester, Feb. 13-The annual din ner of the Rochester Chamber of Com merce was held this evening. Governor Mckinley of Ohio was the guest of honor. Many members of the senate and assembly were present. Governor Mckinley spoke on "Civic Patriotism !" He said;
 Government of the people is the peoples business and if the people are negligent the government and people suffer The great danger of the coun- try is indifferentism. What we need is a revival Of the true American spirit where all participate actively in govnf- ment Here partisanship no longer controls the citizen and country. The businessmen cannot stand aloof from public affairs without prejudice to his own business and without neglecting the duties which he owes to the state
 The governor referred to the responsi- bility resting on the business men; gave statistics showing the growth of matu- featuring interests and the wealth of the country, and said that we not only want to keep our home market, which is the best of all, but we want foreign market also for our surplus products
 The governor dwelt on the govern ment's financial difficulty and said "Let us keep without strain and above suspicion the credit of our country Let us provide in some sensible, prac- tical way for the collection of enough money annually to pay our current ex- penses. Until that is done if we have to borrow money that should be done, but it will be only a temporary provi- sion. That must be supplemented by legislation that will raise in taxes and tariffs steady income, full and ample for every government need"
 Among the other speakers were Sen ator O'Connor, Raines and Cantor.
 Governor Mckinley left for Ohio after the close of the dinner.

WANT hrBRARY PRIvILEGES.
Residents of Fair Haven East Send Petitions
 to Library Directors.

to Library Directors.
 The New Haven free public library is rapidly outgrowing its present quarters and it is thought that within year or two at most something will have to be done, eithsr en arge the present quarters or secure more commodious accommo- dations elsewhere.
 The committee on library, of which Rev. E. s. Lines and A. Maxcy Hitler are members, held meeting yesterday. afternoon to consider a petition from the people residing in Fair Haven East asking that they be given the privi- leges of the library. At present, as they do not pay any city taxes and re- side beyond the limits of the city, they are not entitled to the uses of the li- brary. The members of the committee discussed the petition at considerable length, but finally decided to refer the entire matter to the full board for ac- tion at its next meeting.
 The library at the present time con tains 29,000 volumes and the average daily circulation is 1000 volumes. Last Saturday over 1,500 volumes were eX- changed at the institution.
 Recently Librarian Stetson instituted a, new arrangement at the library. This consists of boys reading room. One third of the newspaper and periodical room has been taken and fitted up with tables, chairs, Juvenile books, etc, and 1t is now used as reading room for boys. The innovation has proved even more successful than was anticipated, and the place is crowded to overfiowing every day.

THE SYNDICATE COMPLETED.
the eTransaction-How the Treasury's Gold
 Reserve Will be Built Up and Maintained.

Terms on Which Members Are to Share in
 the saction-How the Treasury's 8 Gold
 Reserve Will be Built Up and Maintained
 New York, Feb. 13.--A prominent member of the Belmont-Morgan govern
 ment loan syndicate, speaking of the matter this afternoon said:" The bank CTS and business men generally seem to
 be realizing more clearly the compre- hensive character, the plan and scope of the transaction. They begin to see it as a copartnership of the banking and business interests to aid the gov ernment in building up it's gold reserve and maintaining gold payments and, as a consequence, maintaining the cred 1t of the country. That the syndicate will be able to fulfill it's contract-that Is. to stop the export of gold and re- plenish the treasury's gold supply there can be no doubt
 ''The good effects of the contract are already apparent. The export of gold has not only ceased, but gold is com ing this way. It does not matter prac- ttcally whether it is coming as mer- CnduulSG OI dSdluSl eACHduBe. It IS an error, however, for any one to suppose that gold will be brought this way regardless of exchange, or that ex- change will not be effected by it's being brought here. It may be seucred in Europe at any price and brought here, or may be drawn against. It is easy to see how the exchange may be controlled in that way. It is sufficient for the syndicate that the exchange is kept below the exporting point One point is as good as ten for the syndicate in that It seems to have been forgot ten by some persons in criticising the plans of the syndicate man agers. that many of the gold exporting houses and drawers of bills were long of exchange. and that the demand for had been discounted by com mercial houses also to very consid- erable amount"
 The syndicate managers, Messrs. Bel mont and Morgan, made the allotments If bonds yesterday to those admitted 10 the syndicate, and contracts were sent to the subscribers late yesterday
