giving the board of finance any more power than it already had and that he did not know why power should be taken from the hands of the representa- tives of the people and placed in the hands of the board of finance. He said: ''There is no good reason why the power the peoples representatives. I don't know who is the author of that bill. Some members of this committee may know and if they do we would be glad to find out"
 Alderman Dewell said that he also opposed giving the board of finance any more power and that its power should rather be curtailed. As to the abolition of the board of councilmen, he said: 1T am not yet prepared to say what think best to do about this, but I do think that it would be better if the boards were | smaller and I advocate members at large l am not prepared to say that I agree with those who wish to do away with the board of councilmen. The board of finance seems to have absolute power in the matter of taxation and yet we are the ones elected by the people to fix upon taxation"
 Alderman Chillingworth said: "A so- lution of the question as to who is back of this bill to abolish the councimen may be found in this: 1t is hard for man to get seventy-five men in his office when he wants to pour oil on them and quote statistics. Of course there is no such man connected with the city gov- ernment, sitting in his office between a huge pile of books and the window sur- rounded by bushels of papers, Alderman Dove, a member of the board of finance at this point arose and said that, while he could not make a speech like Marc Antony or the mem Der from the Tenth, he would say that he was not in a position to say whether or not the matters under discussion had ever been talked of by the board of finance He agreed with the member from the Eighth (Mr. DeweD that there were two sides of the question as to the abolishing of the councilmanic board, and with the member from the Tenth that if man was going to buy up the legislature he wouldn't want but few members.
 When at S:15 last night 1t was seen that quorum was not present City Sheriff Bunce was sent out to find ab- sent members if possible and order them to attend the meeting At 9:15 he re- turned and announced that he had been unable to find any of the absent mem- bers.
 Alderman Corcoran proposed that steps be taken to have the county sher- if and deputies present at the regular meeting next Monday night and send them out to arrest enough absent mem- bers to make a quorum, saying that by that means alone could quorum be secured, if as was charged prominent city official was endeavoring to prevent a quorum being present.
 At the close of the meeting President Norris stated that deputy sheriffs would be present Monday night, and that if quorum was not present they would be instructed to arrest all absent members they could find.
 The members present last night were; Democrats, Messrs. Norris, Staub, Ho- gan, Corcoran, Frohlich, Donovan, Dove, Brennan and Williams; republi cans, Messrs. Dewell and Chillingworth --eleven in all,

IAN MACLAREN.

The Rev. John Watson, D. D. Clan Maclaren) will lecture at the Hyperion on Wednesday evening, March s. The subject will be: Readings from the Annals of Drumtochty with notes" (a) Domsi, (b) Jamie's Soutar, Co Dr. Mcclure The New York Times says. While the author and clergyman has some of the methods of delivery which belong peculiarly to the pulpit, he showed himself last night to be re- canteur, an orator, and at times an actor of no mean order. His enuncia- ton is wonderfully good. In his read ing of bits from "The Annals of Drum tochty' he stopped continually to ex- plain by verbal note what he had meant to show. The reading gave a new meaning almost to some of the pass ages, and showed as much art in the recital as in the writing of the story" Sale of seats opens Monday. Prices $1 75c, soc and 25c.

POli's Wonderland Thcnter.

The attractiveness of the bill at Polls is the cause of big audiences who find the show so much to their liking that they give it very warm reception. Miss Maude Courtney is an especial favorite in her medley of old songs and the pretty encores she sings when re- called. Dolan and Lenharr in their funny farce, "A High Toned Burglar" |" supply some of the best fun of the sea- son, original and bright. Jess Dandy, the character humorist who plays 8 new type of Hebrew and has some of the best parodies ever heard here, is a trmendous favorte. Miss May Cook, the soprano and cornet solost, is a very fine artist, and magnificent musical features are the acts of Arnim and Wagner Manning and GestOn, and the

ELI D. HOYLE, Major. Chief Ordance of Volunteers
nc Whom It May Concern.

A New Haven resident sends the fol- lowing words of wisdom for publica-
 ton:
 Remember, son, that the world is old CT than you are by several years; that for thousands of years it has been so full of smarter and better young men than yourself that their feet stuck out of dormer windows; that when they died the old globe went wagging on
 and not one man in ten million went to
 the funeral, or even heard of the death.
 Be as smart as you can, of course; know
 as much as you can without blowing
 the packing out of your cylinder heads;
 shed the light of your wisdom abroad
 in the world, but don't dazzle people
 with it. And don't imagine a thing is
 so simply because you say it is.
 Don't be too sorry for your father be- cause he knows so much less than you do. The world has great need of young men, but no greater need than the young men have of it. Your clothes fit you better than your fathers fit him; they cost more money, they are more stylish; your moustache is heater, the cut of your hair is better and you are prettier, oh, far prettier, than pa. But, young man, the old gentleman gets the biggest salary, and his homely, scram- bling signature on the business end of a check will drain more money out of the bank in five minutes than you could get out with a ream of paper and a copper-plate signature in six months. Young men are useful, and they are ornamental, and we love them, and we couldn't engineer picnic successfully without them. But they are no novel; ties, son. Oh, nothing of the kind. They have been here before. Don't be so modest as to shut yourself clear out; but don't be so fresh-you will have to be put in place to keep cool from spelling. Don't be afraid that your merit will be discovered. People all over the world are hunting for you, and if you are worth finding, they will find you. A diamond isn't so easily found as a quartz pebble, but people search for it all the more intently.

A ROYAL ENGINE BUILDER.
Prince Sesseri, the King of Slams

Prince Sesseri, the King of Slams
 Nephew, Working at Tyneside.
 The nephews of the King of Siam are engaged at Tyneside-one at the loco- motive works of the Northeastern Railway company, the other in the ar senal at Elswick.
 When King Chulalongkorn visited our shores in the summer of 1897 few things interested him more deeply than his visits to scenes of industry in the North of England It is not forgotten in New castle how His Majesty fingered so long at Elswick that his departure for Leeds was hours late, and the munich pal dignitares there were kept wait ing corresponding period to entertain him and his suite at welcome ban quet.
 That the impression made at New castle was lasting one is now abund- antly proved, as Prince Sesseri, nep- hew of the King, has recently arrived at Tynesde to learn the details and mystery of locomotive making at the Northeastern Railway company's To- comotive shops at Gateshead. Ever since the days of Stephenson the Tyne has been pre- eminent in this great and important industry, and local prlde-a very real sentiment in the Newcastle district by the way-is immensely grat- flied thereat.
 MT. Wilson Worsdell is the head of the Northeastern Railway company's locomotive department, and he is now engaged in putting together new type of passenger engine, which, it is hoped will enable the East Coast route to hold it's own against those powerful rivals the Northwestern and the Midland, for the Scottish tourist and shooting traf- fic in August Without going into de- tails, it may be said that the new loco motives will have instead of the usu- al four 7-foot wheels coupled six 6-foot wheels coupled, with a four wheeled truck in front. The working pressure of the boilers is to be 200 pounds, and the engines will be the largest and heaviest in use in Great Britain
 It Is at the works where these loco- motives are building that Prince Sessari is now beginning to "go through the
 
 of becoming acquainted with all the de- tail work, the idea being that on the conclusion of his study here he is to re- turn to Siam and superintendent the establishment of a similar industry there.
 Prince Bovarediez, an elder brother of Sesseri, is also on Tyneside. He is one of the polyglot colony of students and experts now engaged at the Elswick works in inspecting the progress of manufacture on ships, torpedoes, guns and ammunition for their various coun- tries at the famed Tyne arsenal But Bovaradiez is only at Elswick as a pu- pil, where he may to his hearts con- ten see the wheels go round" for they never stop night and day, so busy are Armstrong, Whitworth & Co.,, Limited, in producing machines of war in this age of the peace crusade" which, it may be added breaks out in Newcas- tie this week under the direction of Will Ham Stead.-From the London Mail.

A CASE IN POINT.

l It seems to be assumed that if we
 have a struggle with the F'ilpinos the
 great power of this country will make
 it trifling affair. It might be well for
 those who think so to recall bit of
 the history of Santo Domingo, as told 1 by Hazard and by Thiers.
 | In 1793 the English invaded the is- land. They abandoned it in 179S, after
 expending in the invasion s100, ,000 GOO
 and 45,O00 lives In February, 1892 22,-
 GOO French veteran troops, sent by Ma
 poIeon, landed there. They met with a | feeble resistance, and were soon in con- | trol of nearly the whole island. They 1 were conquered by the climate. In the autumn of 1902 Napoleon sent 10000
 more troops, making 32,000 in all Three
 quarters of the French army perished and the remnant abandoned the island | in 1S03
 When Napoleon contemplated send ing these troops, if any person had sug gested to him that it was beyond his power to subdue Santo Domingo, the reception which the adviser would have met with can easily be imagined; and I will not offend the bumptiousness of our people by insinuating that they lack power to do anything in the heav- ems above or the earth below or the waters under the earth But when we see that the strongest naval power in the world and the strongest military power in the world, attempted in turn to subdue Santo Domingo, and gave it up after enormous expense and loss of life, the possibility of our having similar experience in the Philippines cannot be denied.
 If a collision with the natives or a portion of them, should unfortunately occur, our problem may become a more difficult one than the San Domingo one Both climates are tropical and danger ous to unacclimated troops. But the Philippines are, four times as large as Santo Domingo in area and populations; and neither England nor France had to contend with the jealousy of powerful nations which could easily supply an insurgent army with arms, ammunition and food to keep up a guerilla warfare for years.
 Is it worthy of sensible and busi- ness-like people to pursue an enterprise involving hazy chances of profit, a cer- tainty of enormous cost, and possi- bility of humiliating failure?
 I know it would be said that we are committed to it and cannot let go now, but this argument is fallacious. Where there is a will there is a way, and if our people and government were unani- nous in the desire to withdraw from the Philippines a way to do so would surely be found-Francis H. Peabody in Boston Transcript.

 Building.

F. D. Grave, the cigar manufacturer, has completed his fine new building on State street, which is on the site where the old Mechanics bank stood, and has removed his business to the new quar- ters, where he has as fine an office and cigar manufactory as is to be found in New England. The building is a credit to State street, and to the city, and speaks for itself of Mrs. Graves en- terprise, business sagacity and fore sight MT. Grave has devoted the whole of one half of the building to his business. He has long needed increased accommodations owing to the constant growth of his business, and has now sufficient room and the best of equip ment for conducting 1t.

creasc or Memb mbershtp of Senate Con
 tested Elections Committee Minor
 Matters Disposed of in House and Sen
 ate Yesterday.
 The house and senate were called to order at 12:S0 yesterday, the usual time Tor the opening of the first days session or the week. No especially important business was transacted. In the house resolution was introduced and passed, calling upon Governor Lounsbury to use his influence to have the Third Connec- tlcut regiment mustered out in this state instead of in Georgia, the present station of the regiment. A petition for use of the hall of the house on March by the American School for Deaf and Dumb for an exhibition by the pupils ot that institution was granted. It was also voted to grant the use of the hall of the house on March to the womans S suffrage committee, which will then hold hearings on the bill for admission of women as municipal voters and the bill concerning voting by women tax payers upon questions of taxation and appropriation. Reference of the resolu-
 
 stitutional convention was changed from the judiciary committee to the committee on constitutional amend ment.
 Unfavorable report was made by the Judiciary committee on the bill fer giv- ing preference in the matter of public employment to veterans of the civil war. The house chairman of the committee, MT. Kenealy, said that the committee had decided that the bill was against public policy.The matter was tabled for the calendar. The same committee re- ported unfavorably on the resolution to make the first Monday in August a legal holiday to be known as Lincoln day and also a resolution concerning free text books in public schools. Both reports were accepted Favorable re- port was made on the resolution for in corporation of the City Point Yacht club of this city The report was tabled for the calendar.
 In the senate concurrent action with the house was taken in regard to sev- eral minor matters. The Averill- -Calla- han contest was not brought before the senate yesterday, but it was rumored about the corridors that Senator Whit lock, who made the minority report in regard to recount of ballots, would in- troduce to-day resolution for the addi- tion of two more members to the com mittee on contested elections This has been rumored about for some time and the object of it is said to be to add to the committee enough members to vote with MT. Whitlock, who favors MT Averill, so that he will be with the ma jority of the committee instead of with the minority. The committee on finance will hold this afternoon in room in the capitol a hearing on the bill for extension of time for the completion of the reassess- ment of taxable real estate in New Ha- ven.

WILBUR OPERA COMPANY.
 And still the talk of the town is in the Wilbur Opera company, and Maud Daniels living pictures. Again at both performances yesterday there were crowded houses. The opera last night was "The Circus Clown" and it proved to be one of the best of the week. One of its best features was the songs and recitatons of Little Huna Laughlin. She is called the child wonder. and rightfully wears the title She is a beautiful girl and a very finished act ress for her age. Of Corinne's contribu- ton to the general success, nothing but praise is called for. Since her last ap- pearance in this city she has added grace and abilities in every direc- tion, and she to-day is as thoroughly equipped as an adult artist as she was a child artist when she first appeared here twelve years ago Each perform ance is closed with a grand march and living pictures. The operas that will be presented to-day are: Matinee, "The Circus Clown" night, Bohemian Girl" There has already been a very large sale of seats for all the performances, but still there are number of good seats left.
