The rehearsal of the Gounod society
tonight at Harmonic hall is a very inn

chorus manifested the utmost enthu-
siasm in Professor Parker's brilliant
work. Mr.. Agramonte is as much in

mn. CARMEL CHILDREN'S HOME.


A new line of church work is coming
into existence in the opening of home
at Mt Carmel for homeless children of
Protestant Christian parentage. The
home is designed more especially for
young children from such towns in the
state as have no orphan asylums and
where only the county homes are avail
able. The site selected is about six
miles from New Haven and is an ideal
spot in every particular. Fine build
ings, large grounds and an abudance
of fruit trees make it all that could be
desired. The cost of this property is
five thousand dollars. The amount is
to be divided into shares or one dollar
each, and the children of the state Of
Connecticut will be asked to purchase
these shares, so that all the money for
the purchase of the home will be re-
ceived in the name of children. Many
memorial shares are being purchased
by those who have lost children. This
home will be unlike any other in the
state in many respects. 1t is not a pri-
vate, but strictly a church work. A
board of trustees, whose names are
given below, representing every denom-
ination contributing to the work, are to
hold this property in trust. The work
will become incorporated in order that
legacies may be held.
Therefore it becomes church property
as truly as any other church building,
and will be the only children's home in
the state owned by the churches of all
denominations. 1t is expected that this
property will be taken possession of
May :.
The people of New Haven are now
receiving this work with the utmost ia
vor as it is being presented to the
churches by Mrs. Cornelia Blake, who
is in charge of the work.
The following named gentlemen form
the board of trustees:
Rev. Charles F. Clarke, Whitneyville,
president.
Stephen B. Warren New Haven, sec
rotary
Daniel M. Jones, Bridgeport treas
urer
Sylvester Smith, New Haven.
David II. Hine, New Haven
Cullen b. Foote, New Haven.

HoREB LoDGE ENTERTAINMENT.


Colonial system for the United States the
Subject of Interesting Remarks.
A literary and musical entertainment
of unusual interest and merit was Civ
en- by the members of Horeb lodge, l. o.
3. B., last evening in Odd Fellows
building. Among the numbers were the
following:
Piano solo-Une Mutt Eloilee-Miss
Frances Mailhauser.
Recitation-Mrs. M. Hyde.
Violin oolo-Isaac Schonberger, accom-
panied by Miss Rose Schonberger on
the piano.
Song--Miss Julia Stern.
Violin Obligato-Harry Strauss.
Recitation-Miss Eta Stodel.
Address-The Disadvantages of Adopt
ing a Colonial Policy for the United
States-Jacob 3. Ullman.
The paper was a comprehensive re-
view of the subject. In conclusion Mr..
Ullman quoted from ex-senator Ed
munds in opposition to annexation of
territory. He says: "Such expansion
is not desirable under our form of gov
eminent because once annexed it would
be only short time before the new ter
ritory would become states, and if such
a policy were carried out the country
would soon be governed by senators
and congressman living beyond the
present borders of the United States,
which would be a most impractical ar
rangement and lead to a very unsatis-
factory condition and even dangerous
results. for we never did believe in tax
alton without representation"

Tho Bicycle Team Hard at work-Whlst
Tournament-Subject of Yale-Harvard
Debate.
The university bicycle squad now
| numbers about twenty-three men who
have been in training since January
%. Up to February "a the work con-
sisted OF daily work in the gymnasium,
but since that date the candidates have
been able to do outside riding until
| the recent snow storm. This has hand
icapped the team considerably as they
! were just beginning to do faster work.
1t is hoped, however, that fair weather
will enable them to get out on the
! road again before long.
The squad is under the leadership
of e. HILL jr., '97 and of the men in
training about ten will be selected. 1t
is thought eight single riders and two
tandems Will be entered in the inter-
collegiate races, which will probably be
held at Coney Island as this is the
fastest track in the vicinity of New
York. Men will also be entered for
the Harvard meet on June 8, besides
si'S, I've Sti1i SllSuil sINGW
Haven. Three men will also be entered
for the one mile race in the Yale
Princeton game.
Through the efforts of the athletic
| association the individual expenses of
the riders will be very small. The
project of having a Yale bicycle meet
early in May, similar to the Harvard
| races in June, has been discussed some
what, but while it is agreed that it
would be good for Yale, it is doubt
| full if this can be accomplished this
year.
| In the final round of the whist tour
| nament, Bryant '99 and Cameron '99
defeated Frank '96 and Sherwood '97.
| For second place in the tournament
| Schuyler 96 and Heidrich SO will play
Conklin '96 and Beecher '9S, and the
winners of this match will play Frank
'96 and Sherwood or
| The faculty of the Yale Law school
| have invited all law students to attend
a reception in the study room on the
evening of Tuesday, March II, from

quested to wear them.
The Freshman union will be address,
| ed on March 81 by Judge Simeon e.
Baldwin and w. H. Clark SO, presi-
dent of the Yale union. The Yale
speakers for the Yale Harvard fresh
man debate will be coached by Mr..

The joint debate committee of the
union has received a telegram from
Harvard stating that Harvard had

submitted by Yale Resolved, THAT a

be Established by the United States

trials for the Yale speakers will be
held in Al Osborn hall on Friday

ORITUIRY.


Death of James McIay, Well Known
Scottish Resident.
Mr.. James McLay, one of the oldest
and best known Scottish residents OF
New Haven, died Saturday morning at
10 o'clock at his home in East Haven,
aged sixty-six. Mr.. McLay came to this
country in 1870 and settled in New Ha-
ven at a time when only half dozen
Scottish families formed the Scottish
population of New Haven. He was at
one time in the boot and shoe business
on State street, where his store was
burned out, and afterwards engaged
in the carriage business with his Oldest
son In the old Quinnipiac rink in Fair
Haven. Mr. McLay leaves widow and
eight children, his sons being James, jr,,
the carriage dealer; Thomas, who is
engaged In business in Springfield, and
| Archie. The daughters are Agnes, wife
of George d. Bone the printer;
Jeanne, wife of William Peck of Bran
ford; Grace, wife of William Page;
Mary, wife Of James Logic, who is en-
gagged in the carriage business in Chica-
go. and Miss Nettie McLay. Mr.. McLay
will be remembered by those who knew
him as a whole-souled, genial old gen~
tleman, of the old Scottish school, and
entire Scottish community of the Elm
City The funeral will be held to-day
at y. m.
A FRIENDS TRIBUTE.
| Tribute to James McLay who passed
away Saturday, March IA, at 10 a. m.
He came from Scotland to this country
in 1870, hoping to better his health by
the change of climate; being one of the
old school, and having been brought
up under the severe maXims of Scottish
faith and training
When a man leaves this world the
first question arising in our mind is:
What We're his principles? How did
he carry them out in regard to Others
and to himself?"
His first principle was honest, truth
full righteousness, which, alas! in
these days of strife is only too often
carried out to the cost of the too trust
| ing one, who in his own loyalty to-
wards others becomes the dupe of UNI
principled humanity.
| Mr.. McLay's sensitive conscientious
| ness did not allow him to wrong anyone
for whenever he felt his judgment for
the good at fault he suffered untold
agonies until all was righted again.
He was a kind, devoted husband
| and loving father to his children and
grandchildren, who, all of whom, lose
in him one of the highest examples for
all that is noble and truthful in the
human heart
Feeling his end approaching and
having had the blessing of seeing all
the members of his family around him
and having attentively listened to the
prayer of his pastor, he closed his eyes
peacefully for the last long sleep, the
true result of his kind, beautiful soul
life.
May others be able to live and die
like this, regardless of what their sta
ton in life may be.
