"My little girl Hazel is now four years

have her eyes bandaged and stay in dark

A well-Earned pleasure-rrip.

It is said that for seventeen years Rev. William H. Gilbert, secretary of the Connecticut Bible society, has 1a- bored on unceasIngly. without stopping to take any vacation. Recently, how ever, it was voted that he be granted leave of absence in order that he might have a well earned rest. Accordingly, he has decided to accompany his wife and daughter to Europe, and Saturday was the day appointed for starting. He intends to be absent until the last week in August, and until his return any com munication for the society he represents may be sent to Chandler F. Milfer, treasurer, Hartford. MT. Gilbert has been the honored secretary of the Con- necticut Bible society for more than a score of years, during which time he has, as a matter of course, become ac- quainted with many people In different parts of the state, and all his friends who know of his proposed trip will wish him a delightful and beneficial one.

COMING MUNICIPAL MEETINGS.
Councilmen to Meet Tonight and Police
 Commissioners Tomorrow Night.

CpunciImen to Meet Tonight and Police Commissioners Tomorrow Night. At the meeting of the board of coun-
 cilmen this evening action will be taken on the petition of the Manufacturers Street Railway company for permission to construct and operate by electricity freight railroad through certain sec- tions of Fair Haven. The committee on railroads and bridges of the court of common council submitted a favorable report to the board of aldermen at the meeting of that body last Monday even ing and the report was unanimously adopted and the desired permission given under certain restrictions. The matter will come before the coun- cilmen this evening for concurrent &C., ton and it is hinted that considerable opposition will develop to the proposed road which may assume such proposi- tions as to sidetrack the report This rumor, Is however, not generally ac- eepted and it is believed that the re- port will be accepted and the work of constructing the railroad begun at once
 The councilmen will also wrestle with petition from the board of public works asking that a transfer be made of about $1,900 from the amount ap- proprIated for the repair of the Dragon bridge, so called, across the Quinnipiac river at Grand avenue to the amount appropriated for the grading and widen ing of Washington street It Is ex- pected that this will be opposed by some of the councilmen and may in conse-
 quence fail of passage.
 Tomorrow evening the. police com
 missioners will hold another meeting and attempt to untangle the difficulty in which they are at present and elect
 two additional detectives. There are a number of candidates for these two
 places and each day the list of appli,
 cants grows larger. The commissioner
 are apparently all at sea upon the mat. ter and it is not generally expected that any selections will be made at to-
 morrow nights meeting. The regular
 routine business of the department
 which was postponed from last Friday
 night, will also be transacted at the same time.

BACK FROM VENEZUELA.
Donald Grant and Party Are Well
Pleased With Their Trip.

Donald Grant, who has been down
to view his possessions in Venezuela,
arrived yesterday morning on an early
train and went out at once to his home
in Faribault, without stopping in the
city. With him came Gen. NJ. E. Clapp,
his legal adviser, and J. P Elmer
The party had just returned from
Venezuela, where the syndicate has Sc
cured Asome valuable and extensive
concessions from the government of
that country. Details of these have
already been fully printed in the
G l O b e. They include a contract to
build a railroad of 800 miles in length
from Port Capello to San Philippe,
in the western portion. of Venezuela.
This road will tap a very rich country.
Among other things secured by the
Grant syndicate is a banking fran
chise in which the government of that
country will form a partner to a large
extent. The deals will be of great
magnitude.
The party had a very pleasant trip
to and from South America and all
were well received by the government
of the little republic. Venezuela is re-
ported as being in a furnishing con-
clifton at the present time and the
present boundary disputes will not in
terfere with the carrying out of the
projects to be undertaken by the Min
nesota syndicate.

WORK OF EQUALIZERs.
Two Requests for Reductions
Granted by the Board.

On the recommendation of the COM
mittee to which the matter was. re-
ferred the board Of equalization yester-
day reduced the assessment of the OS-
good & Blodgett Manufacturing COM
pany from S35, 100 to $4,000. The COM
mittee was guided in it's judgment by
the comparative assessments of other
institutions of like character.
On the recommendation of Assessor
Seng, the assessment of L. J. Erickson
was reduced from $50 to Sis. Eriek-
son was assessed for ten COWS, whereas
? he had only four.
80 The committee to which was referred
z the protest of S. P. Spates, as receiver
of the property of Andrew J. Hoban,
reported in favor OF wiping out the
assessment, as the county attorney had
expressed the opinion that no tax
could be collected thereon anyhow. The
report was adopted.
=t9 r. NJ. Newport entered a protest
against being assessed on mortgages.
He said that he owed mortgages that
would more than offset this amount.
The matter was referred to the assess
or for investigation.
Michaud Brothers had a complaint
because their return had been raised
from $13, 562 to s15,562. This was also
referred to the assessor.
The board adjourned until o'clock
this afternoon.

RINGLINGS ARE COMING.
VIII Be Here With Their Great
Circus Aug, Of

circus Aug. p.
A big circus is looked for among the
summers amusements, and the an
nouncement of Ringing Brothers
worlds Greatest Shows" for the 9th
OF August contradicts the report that
the big tented shows were to give st.
Paul the 'go-by" this season. AL
though Ringing Brothers show has
never been here yet many saw it in
Minneapolis two years ago, and those
who didn't know the magnificent repu-
tation it left. Since then it has stead
lily grown until there is no question of
its occupying the foremost place
among amusements of this kind at the
present time.
Until this season this show confined
itself to Western territory, but last
May it Invaded New England, and
Judging from reports, met with the
most enthusiastic reception ever ac-
corded circus in that historic section.
The Boston press were a unit in de-
ciaring it the most complete and su-
perior circus and menagerie that had
ever been seen there, and Bridgeport,
the home of the late P. T. Barnum,
was not slow in saying that the Bar
mum q Bailey aggregat ton had never
presented anything there to equal it,
There are five brothers of the Ring
lings, all from the Northwest, and
their broad-gauged policy has brought
their show to a position that is the
greatest yet attained in the circus
world.
The entire exhibition, just as it has
appeared in Chicago, ST. Louis and
Boston will he seen here
