| ing of unnecessary docks, however.
 Sargent & Co had 600 feet of water
 front, but it was not docked because
 such Improvements did not pay. For
 the protection of main sewer outlets
 there was no objection, but he did not wish the city to go to the expense of | building useless docks. The city by
 common law had no right to take the property of riparian owners just to get useless wharves. The city of New York did not receive one-half of the rentals from the city wharves.
 MT. Ely contended that the city had
 right to procure wharves if it paid for the land.
 MT. Sargent urged that the only need of wharves was for few yachts and roWboats.
 Ely-Is it better for the Consolidated road to own all the wharves, or allow
 the city to have a part? Sargent-No wharves of the Consoli- dated road can be used by paying wharfage.
 MT Rogers amendment is as follows: But this act is not to impair any ex- isting riparian, or other right, of prop erty on the flats of New Haven harbor, or to affect any suit now pending"
 Ely think the city of New Haven ought to have it's way in this matter. The question is merely between the city and J. B. Sargent.
 MT Ely said the city wished power to issue bonds for paving streets; by next week the common council would agree upon a bill which he would hand to the committee. The matter had originated with the chamber of com merce The present plan was to bond the city for $500,00 instead of $1,000,- O0O as proposed in the bill. With the exception of street pavements, the tes- timony was all in.
 The New Haven matters took nearly the entire day.
 HERE AND THERE.
 In the house to-day there were but six ty members present. Representative Cowell of Waterbury presided.

 A favorable report was made on the bill consolidating the town and borough of Naugatuck.
 The committee on new towns and probate districts went down to North Haven this morning and were con- veyed in carriages to the division line between that town and Hamden, the boundary of which it is proposed to change The committee was accom- panied by the representatives from the two towns. Next Wednesday the com mittee will hear the final arguments on the matter.

No Longer Use Green Class.

1t is known, says the London Daily
News, that the use of glass of Il green
tint has for half a century been a
characteristic popularity Of the plant
houses at Kew Gardens. In 1889 the
experiment was made of substituting
white glass for green in the east wing
of the tropical fern house. This was
the result Of the observation of the
successful cultivation by Sir Trevor
Lawrence Of ferns with full exposure
to the light ut Burford, near Dorking,
The Improvement in the growth of the
plants was remarkable. In 1892 a Dor.
ton Of the west wing was also re.
glazed In the same manner and the
new temperate fern house was wholly
glazed with white glass. The result
with the gliechcnias and other half
hardy ferns was everything that could
be desired. AS the result 1t has now
been determined to abandon the future
Use of grenn glass altogether.

BICYCLE THAT IS RUN BY GAS

How the Machine Is Operated and
the Cost of Running.
One Of the greatest attractions at
the bicycle exposition has been the
curious bicycle of Messrs. Hildebrand
and Wolfmuller, worked not by pedals
but by a motor Of benzine gas. The
power can be controlled with absolute
precision by the rider, who can change
the rate of speed at moments notice,
or can bring the bicycle to stop in an
instant. Two special guards hold the
machine absolutely at rest. This ma
chine makes not only as good time as
the best bicyclists have attained on
the old ones, but it is capable of the
speed Of an express train. When the
bicyclist dismounts, voluntarily or by
accident, the motor at once ceases to
work. There is no noise and the move
ment Of the new machine is perfectly
smooth. The cost of the benzine is
one cent for three miles and the ma
chine carries sufficient fuel for a
journey of $50 miles.-Le Monde Mod

Then and Now.

A resident of Cincinnati who knew
Sousa, the bandmaster, when he was a
boy in Washington, says: ellis mother
was a German and his father. was a
Spaniard, and though they had other
children Mrs. Scusa would always talk
of my Chonny," as If he was the only
one. Gloomy had every whim graft
fed. He wanted a piano, and he got
it; q violin, and got it; a drum, got it;
a horn, got it. His parlor was like q
music store. He played everything
with ease. He was at first a drummer
boy in the army, but later got charge
of the Marine band, whether by in
fuence or merit do not know. That
gave him room to develop, and he did
to an amazing extent. He is now
handled by a syndicate, which furnish
es him with musicians, pays all his ex-
penses and gives him a net salary of
$4,000 a season. Besides he has the
profits from his musical publications.
His managers are making money on
him, and Sousa is enjoying the tour,
for he has absolutely no responsibility
but the conducting of the band at CON
certs."
