To be Given at Plymouth Church House
 Tonight and Tomorrow Night.
 The art and loan exhibition to be given in Plymouth house of the Ply. mouth Congregational church, corner oi Chapel street and Sherman avenue promises to be a big success.
 The committee which has the affair in charge has spared no pains to furn- ish both amusement and instruction for the patrons. It will be held tonight and tomorrow night
 In the audience rooms several large stands have been erected and on these are placed many elegant and costly works of art. Suspended above these stands are numerous incandescent lights which add much to the effect and attractiveness of the works exhibited.
 Many of these are practically artists proofs and are with difficulty distin- guished from the original drawings, some of which cost more than $1, ,000 These are to be sold at auction and will be delivered to the highest bidder to- morrow night.
 In the audience room also is a large case containing a very interesting col- lection of Alaskan and Swedish curios. In the ladies' committee room on the second floor is a display of old relics, articles of furniture, etc., used centu- ries ago.
 This gives one an opportunity of peeping at his neighbors' treasures, which are objects of interest owing to their age and associations. Some of the articles on exhibition were in every day use during the war of the revolu- tion.
 Besides all this the committee has provided an exhibition of the famous X-rays. George D. Foot of the Connec- ticut Electrical company and George A. Saunders have this in charge They have recently purchased one of the best machines in the market and a test of it last night was very satisfactory. This will be the first time that an X-ray ma-. chine has been exhibited in this city. Many people should avail themselves of the opportunity of seeing the many wonderful things which can be accom- plished with this machine.
 Owing to the expense of equipping this part of the exhibition a small extra. fee will be charged. Besides this feast for the eyes the ladies will furnish a tempting feast for the palate The food will be prepared in the famous Plymouth way. The exhibition is for the benefit of the Sunday school of the church and is in charge of the following committee: Andrew c. Smith, Joseph Woods, | George D. Root, J. Preston Strong, | George A. Saunders, Avery E. Ford The ladies' committee consists of l Mrs. George R. Chamberlain, Mrs. 5. A l Booth and Mrs. John s. Bradley.

BOUGHT A TRAMP's MEMOIRS.

The audacity and wit of the American tramp are proverbial. and undoubtedly they often save him from harsher treat ment than his merits and demerits en- tltle him to. A country house near Buffalo recently received a call from one of these. species. The man was dirty, unkempt and unmistakably a tramp. He also bore the signs of ad- diction to strong drink and general worthlessness. The humorous touch that finished the picture, as he came up with a genial smile and good deal of manner, was a round and fresh clerical collar, which had been lifted very re- gently from the premises of the neigh boring college.

WALLINGFORD HAPPENINGS
IYLER MILES AND WITER PRIVI- LEGE sOLD TO NEW HAVEN MEN.


 lsumor Atioat That 1t is Purchasers In- tention to Erect an Electric Power Plant The Opera House to be Remodeled- Entertainment for Benefit of Library,
 There was rumor afloat yesterday that New Haven parties were buying up the property along Muddy river and the water privileges, and that the same was to be utilized for the purpose of es- tablishing an electric light plant for New Haven. There was change re- corded in real estate that tended to give more tenor to the report, Henry W. and George Tyler having sold to Charles J. Anderson of New Haven the Tyler mills and water privilege. The privilege is the best on the stream and has long been used for power to run the saWmils
 Another rulnor regarding the Muddy rlVer water privileges is that the New Haven Water company is the party in- terested in the purchase, and that the same IS to be used as a further water supply for the city of New Haven. After the next show the opera house IS to be closed for a short time and a long needed change and improvement IS to be made. The seats in the audi torlum are to be raised at the rear and slahteu toward the stage, after the style or other more modern styled opera houses. It was a mistake, when the building was erected, that this was not done, but for reasons best known to the architects and owner of the property the floor was left flat.
 An engine attached to a freight train broke down near the rubber shop about o'clock yesterday afternoon and for a time travel on the up track was block ed. The 3:SS train north had to cross over on to the down track and then cross back again above The Fanwood team of Yonkers will play the Wallingford basket ball team in the armory on Friday evening, No vember 26
