The MrOnq Leg.

A well-known Archbishop, Of Dub

afflicted by his absence of mind, that
led often to startling Developments.
The most devout Of men, the best Of
husbands, hefigured in n anecdote
that might have got n less we'll
known pietist in trouble. Ii was at
a dinner given by the Lord Lieuten-
ant OF Ireland. In the midst of the
dinner the company was startled by
seeing the archbishop rise from his
seat. looking pale and agitated, and
crying: ut has come; 1t has come!"
what has come, your Grace en-
gerly cried half n dozen voices from

stage Pictures Are Now Painted
Upon Tough Brown Paper
for Portability.

Except as regards the part that
mechanism plays the scenic artists of
Italy are the best in the world, as eff
fective painters, and the fact IS so well
recognized in these days Of almost
all scenery being done by contract-a
resident scenic artist is getting to be
a rarity-that a great trade Of this sort
has sprung up between the painters of
Italy and the managers everywhere.
And this is particularly so as regards
companies that come TO America. So
heavy has been the cost of transporting
tons of scenery, and so ~eNacting have
the customs officials been of late years,
that the generality of managers at one
time found it cheaper TO have new
scenes painted after they arrived. But
the Italian system has largely done
away with ali this, for il includes the
painting Of the scenery on large sheets
of a peculiarly tough sort of brown
paper, these being numbered and
Joined together with unerring accuracy.
\ recent grand opera production in this
country depended scenically upon these
sheets of paper alone, and not even the
oldest playgoer in the house could dis
tinguish any popularity.
OF course, the sheets are spread upon
canvas in the ordinary way and a
'toucher-up' is required after they
are spread, but the system is immense
ly useful when a new production is
taken from one capital to another at
n great distance, and the Italian artists
are sending their sheets to managers
all over the world. .

that because W. A. Clark saved that

tho the Beers were not In much need

proper course for the government to

worse than folly for the Democrats

BOERS SURPRISED.
SheIled at Close Range by the British at
 WarrentOn.

Warrenton, Wednesday, April 25.- The Boers having become emboldened shelled the village and the trenches and it became necessary to give them les son and ascertain their strength. Mon- day night Colonel Paget placed several guns on the river bank under cover of the darkness within 1000 yards of the Boer trenches across the river. The horses and carriages were withdrawn beyond range and at daybreak the Brit ish opened a heavy bombardment with shrapnel and lyddite.
 The Boers were taken completely by surprise, but they replied with five guns, including a forty pounder. A heavy rifle fire was opened at the same time. The duel continued many hours the Boers finally evacuating the posi- tion with, it is believed, considerable loss. There were no casualties on the British side. During the evening the guns were safely withdrawn. The snip ing to-day showed that the Boer laager had been removed far back to the east ward.

KIMBERLY AVENUE BRIDGE Closed to Passage of Teams Owing to
 Weakness of Substructure.

Director Troup yesterday afternoon ordered the Kimberly avenue bridge closed to teams and since o'clock yes- terday afternoon no teams have crossed there. Some time ago the director asked for an appropriation of $500 to re- pair the bridge and place it in a safe condition for traffic. The board of finance allowed only $200 for the work, however, and that sum was used as far as it would go, which was not far enough to so strengthen the bridge as to render it safe. An inspection of the bridge by representative of the town of Orange, of New Haven, and of the Win chester avenue railroad has shown that the portion of the bridge used by teams is in very insecure condition. When the planking was taken up 1t was seen that the stringers were decayed and unfit to stand the ordinary team traffic over the bridge. MT. Troup said last night that the other side of the bridge, thta used by the railroad, was found to be safe and that therefore cars would not be stopped running over it.
 MT. Troup estimates that at least S400 will be required to pay for the neces- sary repairs. Until this money is ap- propriated by the finance board the bridge will remain closed and those wishing to drive to West Haven or the west shore will be obliged to go by way of Washington avenue or Congress avenue. The director has notified the mayor of the condition of affairs at the bridge and has requested the mayor to lay the matter before the board of finance at that boards meeting to- night.

The chamber of commerce committee on municipal affairs met last night for the first time to consider the resolution concerning the reassessment of real es- tate in the city discussed at the last meeting of the committee and referred to the committee to consider and report upon. All the members of the commit tee were present last night, ex-Mayor Farnsworth, Professor George D. Wat rous, ex-Police Commissioner Burgess, Health Commissioner Donald G. Car michael and Attorney Harry W. Asher. The committee discussed the matter be- fore it last night but it will be some time before report is formulated, probably until after the board of relief shall have acted upon the appeals al- ready taken.
 A number of matters relating to mu- nicipal affairs have been referred to the committee and it was decided last night to hold meetings on the first Wednes- day evening of each month hereafter.
