THE TANAGRA FIGURTNES.
The Beautiful statuettes the Subject of q
 lecture Last Evening.

The Beautiful Statuettes the Subject of a
 Lecture Last Evening.
 Professor Bernadotte Perrin of the Greek department of Yale gave a very interesting lecture last evening at North Sheffield hall on "The Tanagra Figurines." The lecture was the sixth of the popular Mechanics course.
 Professor Perrin showed the develop ments of the figures from the crude and inartistic idols of many centuries back up to the artistic and graceful "Tana- grets" of later though still ancient date. Tanagra, it will be remembered was town of ancient Greece in Boetia near Thebes. Its people were noted for their deep religious feeling and training and for their desire for excellence in art and education. It was overshadow- ed by its nearness to Athens and The bes. When, however, Thebes was con- quered by Alexander and Athens had lost it's great glory, the influence of Tanagra was felt. Its citizens were of the model kind, devoted to the gods, thoroughly honest and deeply relig- ious
 The "Figurines" winch have been found in the graves of Tanagra or on its site have excited the admiration of those who have studied them. They show an excellent skill and taste. Through them all, mythologists claim, run the traces of worship and all seem to have mythological significance. Stat ues of Demeter and Persephone seemed 4. .ls..~ Mo, .to found showing the graceful attitudes of young girl generally supposed to be Persephone and the sorrowing mother, Demeter, or Ceres.
 In the figurines supposed to be those of Demeter, or Ceres, the Tanagra ma- tron of the period is supposed to be re- produced. In nearly all is represented the tunic which served the purpose of shawl hood and veil. In some fans are shown. These were introduced about the time of Alexander. The figurines are rich and artistic in color, blue, red brown and gold predominating. The hair is generally represented as auburn, which is said to be the color of the hair to be found among those pure descend ants of the people of Tanagra.
 When the study of Tanagra figurines was begun in 1879 those most ardent in it's pursuit and many others of artistic tastes hoped that the agitation would have some effect upon the fashion plates. Professor Perrin illustrated this by showing a figurine in which the fold of the tunic was very prominent. He then showed a photograph of young lady dressed in the height of fashion of to-day. That big sleeve,'' he said, could never be the outgrowth of study of the truly artistic Greek gown"
 The contrast afforded much amuse- nent, although neither of the photo graphs were in the slightest degree ex- lggerated
 The lecture was very well attended.

 Judge Hall of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad said yes terday afternoon that the statement published in Boston that the road would combine with the Boston and AL bany and the New York and New Eng land in building great Union depot for Boston was a moonshine story in every particular. He smiled at the idea of the Consolidated and the New York and New England road joining forces, and said that the scheme of construct ing union depot with the Boston and Albany road was impracticable owing to the lines of entrance into the city. He said the entire scheme was moon shine'
 In speaking of the petition intro duced into the legislature by the Aetna Insurance company to protect the com pany which holds largely of debenture bonds of the road against the issue of new debenture bonds, Judge Hall said that the road would settle the matter equitably with the Aetna people. It is understood that the road will not op- pose in the legislature the petition of the company.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMB US.
First Annual Meeting of National Council
 In This City.


 First Annual Meeting of National Council | In This City.
 l At the first annual meeting of the Ma
 tionaI council of the Knights of Colum-
 bus, held in this city yesterday. about
 thirty delegates from all New England
 states and New York were present.
 The report of Supreme Knight Phelan | contained a review of the nineteen
 months beginning June 1, 1893 and end- | ing December 31, 1894. It showed, | among other things, that at the earlier | date the seventy-six councils contained
 membership of 6.975. Of this number | ], ,8S0 were credited to Connecticut in fifty-nine councils; SIS to Massachu- setts in eleven councils; 432 to Rhode
 Island in five councils, and 50 to New York in one council.
 On the 31st day of December, 1894, the order consisted of 110 councils, contain ing an aggregate membership, insured and associate, of S,717, which included 5550 in fifty-nine councils in Connecti- cut and 2,666 in thirty-eight councils in Massachusetts, the remainder being distributed in councils in Rhode Island, New York, Maine and New Hampshire.
 Among those present were Supreme
 Knight John J. Phelan of Bridgeport, c. T. Driscoll. J. F. Kerrigan, w. F. Cronin of New Haven, Dr. A. w. Tracy of Merden, P. D. Ryan of Hartford, J. A. Quinn of Danbury, w. J. Darrow of Unionville, Philip ! Markley of New Britain, Rev. Hugh Tramer of Water bury, J. J. McNamara of Thomastton, John Mulhall of Hartford, P. E. Hen dricks of Huntsville, J. s.

Hearn of Birmingham, Daniel Colwell of New Haven.
 One of the most important matters of business transacted was considera- ton whether the officers who make up part of the national council should be allowed to vote. Such a resolution was passed a year ago, and met with much opposition, as it was claimed that they should not be allowed to vote on questions which might relate to their own salaries or retention in office.
 None of the officers have ever availed themselves of the opportunity to vote on matters relating to themselves, how ever. The matter was discussed aMd finally laid on the table until the next meeting, when the resolution will be again considered.
 Supreme Knight Phelan presented to the delegates an epitome of the doings of the order from June, 1893, to Decem- Der, 1894, in which he spoke of the which is greatly increasing and the great prosperity of the order.
 Between ? and 4 o'clock D. m. the | knights held banquet at the Hotel | at which all the delegates l above mentioned were present.
 The next meeting of the national | will be held on the first Tues day in October in Secretary Colwelps | office in this city,

Professor weir,s 1llustratsd Lectures.

The program of lectures which Pros lessor Weir proposes to give in the United church chapel beginning on March IS, is remarkably attractive. On four evenings, he proposes to take his hearers to Rome in the days of Michael Angelo, to Venice, with her palaces, churches and masterpieces of art. to Florence in the time of the Renaissance, when Florence was in her glory, and finally to Holland i'm the period of Rem- brandt. The lectures are to be richly illustrated by the stereopticon. Those who are present will thus be enabled to see, in the company of an accom- plished critic of art, the most cele- brated productions of painting, sculp- ture and architecture and to see them in the midst of the beautiful scenes where they were called into being. The value of such lectures as means of culture and of entertainment to per- sons of refined taste can hardly be exaggerated. It is rare opportunity. which is thus offered of combining in- struetion with pleasure. R4

IT IS A DOMINANT ISSUE
THE BIAIETALLIC PARTY HAS SENT
 OUT 4 ST1TEMENT.

It Demands Return to the Constitution
 ality of Gold and Silver and it Says That
 it Will Promote the Inter ests of the Coun-
 try in the Highest Degree.
 Washington, March 5,-The American bimetallic party, through its executive committee, has prepared a statement oi the issue on which the party will or ganize, The statemnnt says the mon ey question is the dominant issue and will remain so until settled rightly. The issue is between the gold standard, gold bonds and bank currency on the one side and the bimetallic standard, nc bonds and government currency on the other.
 The statement demands a return to the constitutionality of gol dand silver. The address says the monetary reform set forth in the statement is so vital to the common warfare and so necessa- ry to Q return to conditions of prosper ity in this country as to preclude long, CT delay in the inauguration of move ment the purpose of which is to bring together all who believe in the neces- sity of the proposed reform, for this ob- ject and this alone. It states that the advocates of the bimetallic standard now contend for their cause in organ izations controlled by the gold party. Hence no results are possible.
 The address says 1t is believed that for twenty years large majority of voters in the United States have favor ed restoring the free coinage of both gold and silver. but their will has been continually thwarted by party chican- cry. This great cause will never be won unless those who believe in it elect a congress and a president on this one issue.
 There can be no doubt. it continues that a return to the standard of gold and silver will promote in the highest degree the interests of the country, while the continuance of the policy must be attended by further fall of prices, prolonglng indefinitely the pres ent stagnant condition of trade and in dustry.
 The coference favored the selection of Joseph c. Sibley of Pennsylvania as candidate for president. but it had no authority to nominate him.

.AN IMPORTANr RULING.
It Has Great Bearing on What are Called
 Newspaper Laws

Newspaper Laws.
 Washington, March 5.-The assistant attorney general for the post office de- partment has made an important ruling in what are known as newspaper laws" These so-called laws provide that subscribers of newspapers are lia- ble for the price thereof unless they gave express notice to discontinue or when they give notice to discontinue without paying arrearages, or when they refuse to take papers from the office and the publisher of the news paper can have anyone arrested for fraud who takes paper and refuses to pay for it; and that it is an unlawful act to allow a subscription account to run on for six months or a year and a half and then tell the postmaster to mark it refused or send a notice to discontinue the paper.
 The department has time and again informed parties making inquiries and the public generally that there are no such laws. The ruling now made is to the effect that a publisher who makes a demand for payment of the subscrip- tion price of his paper through the mails by a threat or enforcing such pretended laws in case the de- mand is not complied with may be for attempting to obtain money under false pretences, provided he knows that such so-called laws have no existence as laws or decisions of the courts.
