KIND WORDS FOR SULLIVAN.

It does not much matter how Arthur Sullivan's grave is marked. It is not by bronze, or marble, or granite that his memory will be preserved in the world of which he has been bene- factor. God confided to him in trust beautiful talent, and beautiful was, the use he made of it. Others of our time have written nobler music; who of them all has given so much inno- cent pleasure with his art to such un- numbered multitudes of plain, uncul- tured. uncritical men and women. weary from the days toll and hungry for an hour or two of refreshing iolli- ty? The emphasis here is on the word innocent. Compare the Sulliyan-Gil bert entertainment with that purveyed just across the ChanneI-by the Of fenbaehs and Halevys of French com ic opera. The one is as clean and wholesome as a Sussex orchard: the other smells at its best of absinthe. and. at its worst, of the bottomless pit ftself.-Hartford Courant

WILL TAKE AN APPEAL.
Heirs of the Lawlor Estate on sylvan
 AYeuTp.

The heirs of the estate of the late Daniel LawlJr are preparing to push their appeal from the award of bene- fits ard damages arising from the lay out and grade of Sylvan avenue, which is now being worked. and judging by the appearauce of things in front of their property they have q good case against the city. The stone bound which was set last week i'll front of the house is three feet above the veran- da and comes within two feet of the side of the building. The street when worked to full grade will be so high that there will be no way of getting into the yard with q team. necess!- tating the carrying of coal and wood a distance of about q hundred feet. In addition to this two or three of the lots will be so far below the street grade that it would cost q large sum of money to bring them to grade. so that they could be used for building purposes. If the house is eyer again to be suitable residence it will have to be raised and considering its lora- ton. this will be quite an expensive work. for if raised it will require basement that will cost several hun dred dollars. It seems to be generally believed that the property is damaged in proportion and more tO the amount of benefits to be derived from the new street, and vet the bureau of assess ment levied an assessment against 1t. An appeal was taken at the time. but nothing was done about it until now. when Attorney Brett has decided to bring thn matter to 2 head and see what can be done in the premises. Mrs Eliza Bowen took Gn appeal. too. but it seems there was some technical de- feet in the notice served upon her. and this. with such evidence as she will he able to put forward as to the ques- tion of damages as compared with the benefits. will make an interesting hear ing. It is q great public improvement, but if it be true that an error of jud@ ment crept in in tn" award of benefits and damages. it ought to he riehted. and tn, public will be curious to sec what view the court will take of the question.

THE CUBAN CONVENTION.
Open Sessions Decided Upon-RuIea
 AIortCl

HAVANA Nor .3.-There was a Barge attendance of the public at yester- days session of tho Cuban constitutional convention in the EIa"ti theater. An ami mated discussion took place over the question whether the sessions are to be public or private. T:.c delegates of the National party. who were supposed to have been pledged 10 support private ses- sions. swung oyer to the other side, only one. SGnor Quesada. voting in favor of private sessions. The final vote stood 10 for public sessions and 10 for private.
 Senor EUdaldo Tamayo. who is can didate for the presidency. made pas sonatc appeal to the public in the gallcr- ies to sustain him in his argument fol public sessions and was called to order by the president of the convention, who ruled that a delegate had no right to ad- dress the audience. Considerable hubbub prevailed for few moments, and even rually Senor Tamayo apologizcd to the convention.
 Thrty-e:ght additional articles of the Gaya rules were adopted the rules of the convention, including one providing that twOthirds of the delegates shall con sutute q quorum and another directing that if for two consecutive meetings no quorum is present the absent delegates shall be notified to attend.
 There was q long discussion over the ninety y-fourth article, which provides that after organization the delegates shall be allowed eight Ga-s during which to bring in projects for the basis of a constitution or complete drafts.
 Seaor Llorento urged that the conven- tion should appoint q special committee to draw up a constitution. He said he did not believe that all the delegates were capable of doing work of that character. sn his opinion the convention did not want constitutions like those of the South American republics or of republics in any other part of the world, but something distinctly Cuban.
 Senor Capote argued that the Yaya rules provided for the appointment of committee to consider all schemes pre- sented and to report draft constitution for discussion.
 General Sanguilly said: ''The relations to exist between the United States and Cuba, although definition of them will not be included in the constitution, will be of equal importance, and I do not be. ieve that a constitution should be drawn without considering these"
