the furniture has been contracted for, and the house committee is engaging servants and getting in supplies, and, it nothing unforeseen happens, the lst of October will see the club fully in- stalled
 It Is intended to maintain a restau- rant in which will be served table d'hote dinner at very reasonable price, and also a breakfast of light order-folloWing the example of the more conomical college clubs, the spec ial object being to furnish a place where the younger graduates can be comfortably taken care of at a small cost, and at the same time have the company of the older men. The living rooms will be rented out, and a prefer ence will be given to the tenancy of the same younger set. An idea of the founders Is to have large non-res1- dent membership thinking that the club will form a convenient and appre- ciated headquarters for the great num- Der of Yale graduates in other parts of the country who come here periodically to witness athletic games or on busi- ness or for pleasure. But as yet no eff fort has been made to get these mem bers, the aim being to reach first those immediately around the city. After wards an endeavor will be made to get in as many non residents as possible, and the most sanguine hopes are en- tertained of the benefit to the whole body of alumni and to the university to be derived from the club as center of activity. Among the adjuncts hoped for in time are a good library and
 works of art of real merit. Reliance for these are placed upon the generous expressions contained in letters from rich alumni. And, of course, after the lapse of a. few years, the club expects to move into club house of it's own, as handsome architecturally and as
 comfortable interiorly as the Harvard clubs house-if not more so.

FAIR HAVEN HAPPENINGS.

Small sections of iron for the Grand avenue bridge were delivered yester- day. The ponderous derrick, with tim bers two feet through, is nearly ready. It Is an immense derrick, but none too heavy to swing the 40-foot sections in to position.
 At the Booth meat market, corner of Grand avenue and Front street, Man ager Hubbard installed new corn beef tank yesterday. The exterior is of oak, and there are three lead lined com partments for storage of corn beef and ice for refrigerating. It was pronounc- ed by customers the most complete af- fair of the kind they had ever seen.
 w. F. Hubbard manager of the Booth market, and family, are occupying for q few days one of the Ludington cot tages at Shell Beach, George c. Brad ley and family are occupying an ad- joining cottage.
 Grand Warden L. P. Deming of Quin- nipiac street will pay visit to Charter Oak lodge, N E. O. P, this evening.
 A quarterly conference of the local Woman's Christian Temperance unions New Haven union No. 1, Fair Haven union No. 2, and Lucy Webb Hayes union No. 3-was held in the rooms of gnion No. 2, Grand avenue and Front street, yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Dr. Mary Moody presided, and Miss Land fear was the secretary. There was a large attendance, and the proceedings were enthusiastic and of an interesting character.
 The meeting was opened with prayer by Mrs. Hutchinson, and singing. s.Narcotics" was discussed at consider able length, Mrs. Storer leading in the remarks. It was practically decided to hold a series of three lectures on this subject in different parts of this city the first to be held in the Grand ave- nue Congregational church, probably in October.
 A committee on scientific temperance work was appointed consisting of Mrs. H. G. Newton and Mrs. Storer. Visits will be made to ascertain if this sort ot teaching is being done in the local schools.
 It is expected that Mrs. Rice, the na- tional superintendent of Junior work will address one of the meetings, at which the subject of cigarette smoking will be discussed. This subject was re- marked upon by Mrs. Hutchinson, Mrs Storrer and Mrs. Morrill,, and commit tee to try and get the law better en- forced consisting of Mrs. Hutchinson, Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Storer, was ap- pointed. It was stated that copies of the law had been posted in stores of tobacconists. It was the general opin- aon that the law was not being enforc- ed remarkably well and that there was need of a great deal of work along this line on the part of the unions. The great evils following the habit and the rapid destruction of child life from its effects was portrayed.
 There is a great call for books and ole clothing and those willing to contribute are requested to send word to 14S Ex- change street and their offerings will bt called for. The next quarterly meeting will be held in December.

BOY DIED FROM EATING CHOPPED
 "SNOWBALLS."

After eating several "snowballs,' q summer delicacy made of finely chop ped ice and some favoring syrup, four year-old Frank Watson died suddenly yesterday at his home. For some weeks past the child had been developing an appetite for those confections and bought them with every penny he could get In the last day or two he had eaten quite number of them, and yesterday morning he was seized with severe pains of the stomach, and the physician called in was unable to save him. The coroner will have to decide whether death resulted from eating too much ice, which might have caused in fiammation of the stomach, or from some poisonous subtance in the snow balls, All the small shops In West Philadelphia sell the stuff, which Is very popular with children in hot eather-- Philadelphia Record.

CURRENCY ELASfICII
Our System Inferior TO Those OF
Scotland and Canada
Need for More Money TO Move Crops
In at Once Supplied I'm other
Countries, but Not
in This.

Secretary Of the Treasury Window
said in his treasury report for 1890:
In my Judgment the graYest defect
in our present financial system is its
lack Of elasticity The demand
formoney, in this country, is 50 irregular
that an amount Of circulation which
viii be ample during ten months of the
year will frequently prove 50 deficient
during the other two months as to cause
stringeney and commercial disaster.
The crops Of The country have reached
proportions 50 immense that their move
ment to market. ia August and Septem-
Der, annually causes a dangerous abb
sorption of money. The lack of q suffi-
Gent supply TO meet the increased de-
mands during those months may entail
heavy losses upon the agricultural as
we'll as upon other business interests"
How hard and inclastic IS our present
unscientific currency system, or lack Of
system, is apparent when q comparison
is made with the currency systems of
other countries. In a pamphlet recently
issued by the sound currency commit
tee of the Reform club Mr.. L. Carroll
Root illustrates the relative elasticity
Of 90 different banking systems in Is
different countries. He says:
The data secured include weekly or
monthly statements Of the outstanding
circulation OF the leading bark cur
rency systems Of the world The period
covered in each case is the two years
1891 and 1925. The method Of prepare
ton of diagrams has been to take the
minimum circulation Of the period as
base line and to reduce the amounts on
other dates 10 percentages of this. Ia
this way common measure has been
secured, ana comparison of one dia-
gram with another is facilitated
We reproduce below three of Mr.
Roots diagrams which show in a strilI,
ing way the great difference in elastic.

explanation may be found N tie fact
that farmers as class are not accus-
toned 10 make use Of bank deposits,
ana consequently when payments are
made to them for their crops largely
at a single season Of the YEAR, the sur
plus over immediate payments is re-
quired by them in the form of notes-it
being unquestionably true that in any
Of our agricultural communities in this
country the average farmer has ID his
possession during the six weeks follow
ing the sale Of his crop a much larger
amount Of currency than during the
rest of the year. The result in the ag-
gregate is an extraordinary demand,
such as that which leads in Canada TO
"a annual expansion of 20 per cent. in
the bank circulation"
Undoubtedly the needs for currency
in the United States change about as
1nuch as in Canada. but the cost OF buy
ing bonds at high premium on which
notes can be issued only to 90 per cent.
of their par value, the red tape neces-
sary to obtain these notes from the gov
eminent and the tax on circulation
make delay and cost in increasing the
circulation which practically prohibit
an increase until the need for such in
crease is past. Therefore interest rates
in this country run up rapidly in Au-
gust and September without apprec-
ably affecting the supply of currency
In Scotland and Canada the machine
cry necessary to increase the supply Of
currency is simple and is entirely in the
hands Of the banks: hence the cost and
delay necessary are much less than with
us. Thus in Canada a few big banks
with numerous branch banks" supply
all parts Of the country with currency.
When more money is needed in any
province = as in Manitoba when the
wheat crop is being Invertebrates OF
interest begin to rise. The profits Of sup
plying currency in this province are in
creased, and Immediately additional
supplies Of currency are sent frcm tae
big banks in Montreal, Quebec or To-
routo to their branch banks in Mani
toba. Thus the cost of moving the crops
is much lower in Canada than in the
United States, where rates of interest
go up and down without materially
changing the supply of currency OF
course the farmers, through increased
competition Of bidders, who obtain
plenty Of money at low rates of interest
and can afford to pay high prices, reap
most Of the benefit
There are other advantages con-
nected with branch banks which il IS
unnecessary to explain be- It's suffi-
cient to say that in Canada there is 40
silver question to disturb business and
occupy the time of politicians and leg
islators. It is not likely that we will
lave tipancia! peace until we greatly
improve our banking and currency sys-
