We're not present. During the session
Mr.. kreutzer offered a word of caution
TO the water committee. saying that If
the gallery system is to be adopted on

are TO be installed, il VIII be advisable
to order the timber now, as it can not
be secured next summer. Mr. Benson,
of the water committee, said that while
the committees was satisfied that the
gallery system would be adopted. that
course had not been definitely decided
upon. The supply from the temporary
station is holding out satisfactorily.
Mr. Fisher thought it would be wise TO
so ahead on some definite line OF ac-
ton and secure plans either for gall
leries or for moving the pumping sta
ton TO the bottom lands. He said that
while the city is pumping daily 100000
gallons of water from the test Well,

Company was not ready 70 report, but
as complaints from consumers are be-
garding heavy increases iii the light

been informed that the company had
increased it's voltage. and that this
caused the meters to register faster

NEW HAVEN. Conn, May 30.-Six Yale
juniors have engaged in a calling unusual
even for college students who have to work
while studying. Six members of the class
of 1901, whose names are withheld are pro-
fessional pallbearers.
Several of the undertakers of this city
decided to try the experiment of hiring
pallbearers from among the young men of
the city. An advertisement brought a stu
dent. who informed the advertiser that he
knew of other students who would be will
ing to act in the capacity wanted
The result wgs that at the funeral of
Commodore Richard Peck. in April, six
Yale Juniors bore the coffin from the house
to the hearse and from the hearse to the

repeated several times.
One of the six thus describes his work:

and another gained nOtoriety in the boxing
match that set all Yale agog last winter
when two Juniors settled grievance with
