A List of Those Which Are Over or
 Nearly 200 Years in Existence.
 Next year, 1899, will be Plainhelds bi-centennial, as settled and incor- porated town. It will then become the townspeople, following the custom of observing such anniversaries, to pro- vide fitting celebration.
 A few older towns exist in the state, among them Saybrook, the oldest, set tied in 1885, uniting with Connecticut in 1644, Stamford settled in 1649, Strat- ford in 16S9 New London settled in l646, Norwich 1860, Norwalk 1851, Bran ford 1644, Pennington 1645, Hartford 1885, New Haven 1886 (named), Had dam 1868, Middletown 1851, Milford 1886, Glastonbury 169O, Danbury 1887, Leba- non 1700 This town can celebrate her 2OOth anniversary the year after Plain- field, in 1900.

 These comprise all the really old towns in the state, Many have cele- brated their bi-centennial already, and 1 are fast approaching the tri-centennial period.

roli,s wonaerlnnd Thenter.

Nothing better has been at the Won derland this season than the bill now playing to a great business, and b'g houses attend and are delighted. Frank Brush, the delineator of Hebrew char acter, and master of many dialects, told a long string of funny stories, each one better than the other, until he drove the house into fits of laughter. The trio contest is on with vim that is great No one can yet decide who wins the Christmas present, for the favor of the audience is impartially divided. The Three Navarros who do a most sensa- tlonal equilibrist act, rather caught the first night crowd, but the others also made a big hit. They include the Ray mond Trio of musicians, the Bon Ton Trio in Irish comedy, the Ben MoWate Trio of club swingers, and Goldie St. Clair and Goldie in eccentric negro comedy and dancing.

FEAST OF LIGHTS.
Now Being Celebrated Throughout the
 Hebrew World.

Now Being Celebrated Throughout the
 Hebrew World.
 The Hebrew holiday of Chauka be- gan shortly after sundown Thursday evening. The holiday is to celebrate a miracle which occurred to the Hebrews in Jerusalem in A. D. 70, when that city was besieged by Titus Vespasianus, who had been left by his father Ves- pasian, to capture it. The oil of the city had given out during the siege and the inhabitants began to fear that the holy taper in the temple, which was kept forever burning, would be extinguish- ed on account of the scarcity of oil. The light however, continued to burn without the oil. Therefore this holiday is celebrated for eight days.
 Long, thin wax candles play the most prominent part in the holiday. These candles are bought in punches of thir- ty-six. The first night one candle is burned amid prayers of thanksgiving, the second night two candles are burn ed, and so on. The candles are soft and they are stuck to the wall and there burn out. The holiday is not as re- strictive as most of the other Hebrew holidays, and all manner of buisness is carried on as usual. The people send gifts to one another.

BOARD OF FINANCE WILL WAIT.
Did Not Provide for Fire Department | Deficiency Yesterday

Deficiency Yesterday.
 Pursuant to a call issued by the may
 or the board of finance met yesterday afternoon in special session to consider the request of the fire commissioners that funds be provided to meet the de- flciency which exists in the finances of the department, a sum being required. sufficient to pay the salaries for the month of December. A resolution re- questing a recommendation from the
 board of finance as to the means of providing the funds necessary was passed by the aldermen at their last meeting but was not considered by the councilmen, the chairman pro tenn of that board having decided that the matter could not have been taken up at the soecia! meeting.
 It was thought that at the special meeting of the board of financa yester- day some means of providing money for the fire department would be devis- cd and thus the matter be hastened to a settlement without waiting for the couniclmen to act upon the resolution. The beard decided. however, to wait
 until the resolution of the common council had been passed and presented
 in due and regular form.

A WORD FROM MIR. MossMAN.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Sir--I think it is due to those who en- trust to me funds for .he use of others that I correct statement in one of the papers by saying that l value the con-
 venience and safety offered by the
 banks of our city enough to place
 money in their care instead of keeping it at my house or office. This is rule always observe, unless impossible as in the case of Sunday offerings, never a large amount and not a penny of which
 nor of any other fund in my care, has
 ever been lest nor will be in the present instance.
 I heartily appreciate, however, Officer Parkes watchful care over my house in the temporary absence of my fam fly, and trust his skill and bravery will
 receive the recognition that it certainly deserves. Respectfully yours. W. r. Mossman. New Haven, Dec. F. 1898.

The public will recall that dnring the month of August one of our competitors screeched itself hoarse in it's attempt to decry our method of conducting our business, and in one of it's worst mo ments of frenzy at our success |solemnly asked, "What would you think of us if on cer- tain occasion we should ad- vertise to give away a horse?"
 We do not call upon the public to decide the question, and we quote 1t merely to show that, however much our competitors may attempt to ridicule our methods and make a show of hypocritical indignation at our way of sharing with the public part of our profits, yet in the end they are obliged to eat their own words and to follow in our wake. Those who came to scoff remained to pray"
 "Of course we expected that our novel method of in- teresting the public would be initiated, but, then, you know, imitation is the sincerest flat tery,"
