Charlotte and Emily Bronte dressed up
ugly wooden images as men, and called
their favorites the duke of Wellington
and Napoleon, had sham battles, and
wrote plays for the dolls to act on a tiny
stage. Charlotte also composed long
poems in "Wellington's' honor, to which
she compelled him to listen with his
wooden ears.

Short, round and jolly, Bishop Johnson,
of the Episcopal church of Southern Cali
fornia, is a type of the well-nurtured pre-
late. He is esteemed a wit and a wonder
by the families whose cordial hospitality
he enjoys. He not only make but takes
jokes from the humblest of the clergy and
the laity without in the least impairing
his Episcopal authority.
The bishops hostess in o southern
parish recently remarked that the reyer-
end father in God looked better since he
had come into the diocese.
Yes frankly acknowledged the bish-
op, whose elevation to the Episcopate
was very gratifying to him, the air Of the
see agrees with me."--Los Angeles Times.

PERMANENT PAVEMENT.
Hearing by Committee on Assessmel
 Tact Nipht

Hearing by Committee on Assessment Last Night.
 The special joint committee from the councilmen and the aldermen ap-
 pointed to hear the citizens regarding
 the assessments for permanent pave
 ments on Orange, Ashmun, West
 Chapel, Wooster and Ttumbull
 streets met in the city hall last
 night. Quite a number of persons ap-
 peared before the board and nearly all
 of them spoke against the assessment,
 characterzing it as being unlawful and
 declaring that the pavements were not
 in their judgment any benefit to their
 properties or that they had in any way
 increased their value. The members of
 the committees present were Aldermen Cooley and Hogan and Councilmen An derson and Rowe. Alderman Cooley was chairman. He first called upon AL derman Felix Chillingworth. In sup port of his claims that the assessments were illegal, Mir. Chillingworth quoted from the federal constitution the follow ing: "Nor shall private property be taken for public use without just conn., pensation"; and from the the constitu- tion of the state: "The property of no person STldl1 D6 ldhtu lOI piDllC without just compensation" From the opinion of Corporation Counsel Ely he ouoted as follows: "The principles upon which municipal corporations are allowed to assess property for better ments is that those persons against whose property the assessments for bet terments is laid have r ceived the equiv alent for the assessment from the bene- fit conferred by the improvement in question. In each case it is whether the land is especially benefited" MT. Chillingworth further said that the courts declare that the costs over the benefit must be borne by general taxa tion.
 MT Chillingworth spoke at some length on the unjustnesa of the special tax which had been laid to pay for these permanent pavements.
 Attorneys Talcott H. Russell, Leon- ard M. Daggett, George l.. Dickerman and A. Mcclellan Mathewson stat ed that such a tax as has been laid was illegal and could not be legally col lected. MT. Mathewson said that the residents along Orange street had or ganzed at a meeting held in his office and that they proposed to fight the matter to the end MT. Russell said that he represented all the property owners on Wooster street, and they were unanimously opposed to the as- sessments. Colonel Fox, Professor Brewer, ex-Alderman Platt, Henry Sar- gent, ex-Mayor Peck, Alderman Henry Donovan, Anthony Carroll and several others spoke on the matter. The opin- ion of all was that they had not been benefited by the pavements, at any rate to the extent to which they were taxed. James D. Woodbridge brought up the matter of the assessors asking that when they assessed the properties the next time if the price of the benefit that they claimed by the pavement would be included in the assessment and whether they would be bound to pay a double tax on the same. The committee ad- journed after being in session about two hours.

Hartford Wins From New Haven.

A close an exciting game of polo was witnessed last night at Bowling hall when Tom Cotter's men defeated the New Haven team by goals to 4. Dur ing the first period both teams scored two goals each, one goal scored by Wodtke being made after a pretty run again got the lead at the end of the second period, only one goal being scored. Hartford woke up a. little bit in the third period and Tom Cotter scored two goals with his long drives. In scrimmage in front of the Hartford goal the ball was knocked into their goal by Meynard, the ball bounding off his leg. The play was now very excit- ing, each team doing its best to score the winning goal, which was got by Wodtke after a pretty run. The new Havens played by far the better game of the two teams, playing all around Cotter's men during the first part of the game, and the only thing that can be attributed to it's defeat was the poor play of w. Whiting, who missed some easy chances for goal. Bone, Leydon and H. Whiting played a good game, Whiting blocking Wodtke time and time again when he started on his fa- nous runs. For Hartford Wodtke play ed the star game, but was well matched by Leydon and Whiting. Cusick has at last learned to stay in his goal and gained in this point, and but for his fine work Hartford would undoubtedly have lost.
