\ Landlords CompIatnt.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 I read in your paper Monday morn ing the article headed An Interesting Law" and I write you few thoughts that have been forced on me by ten ants of mine who left owing me money for rent. They were and are now able to pay, but as the law does not compel them to do so I have no redress. A ten- ant makes fair promises, which in many cases he does not intend to fulfil, know ing it will cost the landlord money and time to get possession of his tenement, which he does in a damaged condition, and sometimes the damage is wantonly done. He is in. Get him out as best you can.
 The grocer can stop credit and lose only the amount due, but have to lose the money due and hire sheriff also.

THE TwENrY-F1Rsr e. V.
No Money for the Proposed Mol
 

No Money for the Proposed Monu-
 ment
 The dedication of the monument to the heroic dead of the Twenty first Connecticut Volunteers is postponed for the present on account of an uneXpect- ed hitch in a necessary essential. The monument is nearly completed and the committee in charge of the arrange ments was hustling in the effort to have everything go off smoothly. A communication has been received from Colonel Henry c. Morgan, assistant | quartermaster general, notifying the committee that Comptroller Benjamin r. Mead would not feel authorized un- der the law ill drawing an order for money Tor the purpose of erecting a monument for the Twenty-flrst regi- ment, etc."
 1t was understood by the committee that the money for the monument was ready at any time. Now 1t is learned that it is necessary to have the sum ap- propriated by the legislature while in | session or authorized by the state board or control, consisting of the governor, the secretary of state, treasurer and | comptroller. It Is not quite clear to the committeeman at this time whether the board of control will help them out of | their dilemma or not. It would be a comparatively easy matter for those men to get together and appropriate the sum necessary when the facts in the case are learned.
 According to the programme of the | dedication ceremony, it was intended to hold the exercises on Tuesday, the 9th ot September, the anniversary of the battle of Fort Griswold. The monu ment is to be placed on commanding knoll in the new park on Broad street, the site which was rendered to the reg mental association by the city of New London.
 The failure to get the money appro- priated was probably an oversight on the part of the committee in charge. | The state law provides for a certain sum for each veteran regiment of the state for the erection of monument either in the state or on battlefield The committee is composed of B. E. Smith Willimantic; Robert Gray, Gro ton; B, o. Lombard, New Haven; Delos B. Brown, East Hampton, and George Shepard, Wauregan.

A STORY OF GENERAL WHEELER
How He Was Frightened When Boy

 How He Was Frightened When Boy
 and Lived in Derby.
 E. Hallock writes to the Ansonla Sentinel as follows: When General Jo- seph Wheeler was boy he came With his parents from the south and lived with his aunt, Mrs. Hull, a relative of Commodore Hull, of T. s N. fame The old house where they lived is still standing It is the large brown house next to ClarlS's coal sheds, Back of the house, and where part of the sheds now stand, was a large red barn.
 Young Wheeler had two cousins of about the same age who lived there also, and as Mrs. Hull kept number of cows the boys had to do chores be- fore and after school Two or three Of his schoolmates, (F. N. Bradley one of them), planned to give Wheeler a scare, They climbed up into the hay loft, and when he came after hay for the cows they gave the alarm. It was success. Young Wheeler. slid down the ladder and scampered as if hun dred tramps were after him. Ten thousand Spaniards in battle array would not scare him now as did the freak of the three boys
 David Bradley, father of r. N. Brad ley was the second one in New Haven | county to manufacture sash ma chinery, and when the firm of Hotch- kiss, Clark & Co.,, consisting of Lewis and Wyllis Hotchiss, Merritt Clark and MT. DeForest was formed, MT. Bradley thought that it would be up- hill work to do business in rivalry with the new firm, and sold out his machine ry to them and put in cotton spinning machinery in it's place, MT Wheeler, father of General Joseph Wheeler, coming from the cotton land, was in | terested in the business and bought it out. He ran it for time, but 1t did not prove successful, and MT. Bradley | eventually took back the sash and blind | machinery and that business was car 1 ried on by himself until his death, and | since that time by his son, r. N. Brad | ley. Of the old original factory there are just three windows left that can be seen from the outside to remind o1 ''auld lang syne." but the factory, new 1 and old, has always been busy hive and still keeps lonesomeness away from Turkey Hill.

A PECULIAR WATER LILY.
It Bears the Name of Her Majesty of
 Eneland-In Bushnell Park

It Bears the Name of Her Majesty of
 England-In Bushnell Park.
 People, in passing through Bushnell Park, are attracted to the peculiarly formed leaves of the "Victoria Regina" water lilies that are seen on the surface of the pond. The leaves are round, and each Is about two feet in diameter. They are fiat except around the edges, which are turned up in graceful fold.
 One of the leaves has been damaged by the bullfrogs and has grayish ap- pearance in spots, as if it had begun to wither from the effect of the damage. One of the workmen on the park stated, however, that the damage to the leaf would not be very serious, and that the decayed part would drop off in time to make room for healthy growth.
 The plants are growing from the bulbs planted by Superintendent Wirth early this summer in beds made in the bottom of the pond. MT. Wirth got the bulbs in Boston. They will in the course of few weeks bear beautiful flower. The Victoria Regina" is a very rare species of water lily and those seen in Bushnell Park are sup posed to be the only ones in this city There are quite number in Spring field. The plant came originally from Africa. At any time during the day people may be seen looking at the plant and admiring it's peculiarly shaped 1eaves.-Hartford Times.

HAMDEN TOWN MEETING.
Offer of New Haven Water Company
 Again Reiected-Other BusiMess.

Again Rejected Other Business.
 The adjourned Hamden town meeting to take action upon the offer made by Eli Whitney, in behalf of the New Ha- ven Water company, for the purchase of the Whitneyville and Augurville school properties, was held yesterday afternoon in the town hall. There were about three hundred of the voters pres ent.
 MT. Whitney's offer was again declin- ed, mainly for the reason, as is claimed by many that it is not as generous as it should be, or as it will be if not iin- mediately accepted Many of the vot- CTS are still of the opinion that MT. Whitney will increase the offer from own time in definitely deciding to ac- cept it. Others think the offer very generous and that it should be accept ed
 At yesterdays meeting it was almost unanimously decided to reject the offer. The school committee stated that it would be necessary to spend at least $500 on the school houses for repairs, and that the repairs must be made im- mediately. By resolution the commit tee was empowered to make the needed repairs.
 The names of half dozen streets were also ordered changed.
