Most of the witticisms attributed to children are apocryphal. Clearly truth, if not always stranger, is at any rate funnier than fiction for all the stories which the lecturer told as true are con- siderably more amusing than the aver age of smart sayings reported from the nursery and the schoolroom. There is a school of educaton which maintains the curious principle that you should never laugh at what children say. It Is to be hoped that none of these theo- rists are ever placed in such position as the late Bishop of London was, when he spoke to some children about Our. Feathered Friends" He asked who our fathered friends were, and a little girl replied, Angels" Another of Dr. Mac namara's guaranteed stories was that of child who was asked to define an optimist and a pessimist 'An optim- ist is a man that attends to your eyes. A pessimist is man that attends to your feet"
 Children's sayings are very often re- lnarkable for a simple directness which goes more straight to the heart of the matter than is possible for a more com plex mind. Henry VIII. liked plenty of money and plenty of wives. and died of ulcers on the legs" Looking at him as man-and, after all, he was no more-those are the characteristics which were mort strongly marked in him; and the climax is full of dramatic force The sayings, too, of some of them throw a vivid light on the life of the class they come from. Grass is what you have got to keep off."-Lon- don Daily News.

HENRY c. sEABROoKE.

One of the pioneers of the carriage making business in this city, which in | dustry has added much to the renoWn of New Haven, Henry c. Seabrooke president of the Seabrooke & Smith Carriage company, of 12S Park street was yesterday morning found dead in his bed at his residence, IS Edgewood avenue. He was found by young boy named Farley who had been in the habit of taking care of the furnace. It is thought that deceased expired on Christmas eve He was at the time the sole occupant of the house, his daugh- ter Ida having gone out of the city to
 spend Christmas with friends On Christmas morning the boy came to
 the house and did his chores as usual. He then went up to MT. Seabrooke's room where he saw him lying on the bed Supposing him to simpy be asleep the boy left and made no attempt to arouse MT. Seabrooke. Yesterday morning when the boy went to the resi- dence he looked into the room as usual and saw MT. Seabrooke In apparently the same position This aroused the
 
 arouse the sleeper was mortified to find him dead.
 Medical Examiner Bartlett was noti- fled and upon an examination learned that MT. Seabrooke had had heart trou-
 be for some years and the doctor con-
 cluded that death was due to this
 cause Deceased who was 72 years of age came to this city from Nova Scotia about 40 years ago and for several years followed his trade as a carriage maker.
 In 1868 he formed partnership With
 Lyman T. Smith under the firm name

 ship was formed shortly after the dis
 solution of business interest with
 Charles F. Dibble The firm of Sea
 brooke & Smith was continued up to
 seven years ago when stock company
 was formed and the name changed to
 that of the Seabrooke & Smith Car
 riage company. This concern, of which

 pal stockholders still conducts the car

 The long anticipated appointments to the park commission and to the fire by the death of Hon. James M. Town send, and H. s. Holcomb were an nounced yesterday afternoon by Mayor Studley. To the park board Herbert C. Warren Is appointed to serve out the unexpired term of MT. Townsend which is January 1, 1903. MT. Warren is republican and lives on Whitney avenue and is one of the prominent banking men in the city. This is the first time he has ever held public of flee.
 To the fire board Commissioner Charles l.. Well was appointed to serve out the unexpired term of MT. Holcomb, which is July 1, 1902. In speaking of the appointments last night Mayor Studley said the appointments had been delayed because they had been under advisement Last summer a meeting was held in the western part of the city, and the result was that a commit tee of friends of Joseph F.. Hubinger waited upon the mayor and requested MT. Hubinger be appointed to the park commission. When the vacancy ap peared, the office was rendered MT. Hu- binger and he has had it under advise ment for several for several days. He concluded however a day or two ago that owing to numerous engagements in the west he would be unable to serve on the board. He therefore de- clined the tender of the office, and MT. Warren accepting it upon it's tender becomes the new park commissioner.
 The office of fire commissioner was also rendered to a prominent business man whose name will not be divulged at his own request, but he also declined the office, and MT. Veil was then ap- pointed,

KINGS AND THEIR CAPITALS.

Dislike of the Former for the Latter
 and Vice Versa Is Historical Fact
 The dislike of kings for their capi- tals, and of their capitals for them, is historical fact that some interest for which is is difficult to find a satisfac- tory explanation. The capital is al most always imperialistic in sentiment. exulting in the spread of the kings do- minion and conscious of certain sep arate claim to grandeur as the center of national life, and the point from which all authority rays out yet it rarely delights in the sovereign or his court The sovereign, on the other hand, is usually proud of his chief city, invests it with all manner of privileges, and beautifies it at the cost of all other cities, yet manifest toward it a certain degree at once of fear and of distaste. The double feeling was, we fancy, man. ifested very early. Rome must always have been full of libels about the em- perors, and certainly never defended them when attacked, while the emper- ors, as time went on, gradually made a habit of absenting themselves, though to the end they never forgot that they were great and absolute because in them Rome, with her claim to domin- ion over earth, was in some way incar- nate The Eastern emperors, it is true, always resided In New Rome, and ex- pended vast sums in beautifying and amusing 1t; but they always regarded it as a sort of wolf held by the ears. while of all their cities it was the most rotous, and the one which most need ed military control. In modern times the Bourbons so disllked Paris that for a hundred years they gave up the hab- it of living there, while the people slow ly accumulated the hatred and con tempt for royalty which burst forth at last in he revolution. The popeS made modern Rome so completely that the popular proverb ran: Rome is dying with the popes. but without them is dead" Yet throughout history Rome and its nobles were the most pressing of papal troubles, and Rome never rev erenced it's popes as did the remainder of the Catholic world.-From the Spec tator.

 Princeton, Dec. "A, 1901.
 My Dear MT. Straus: Your letter of the 18th inst. is at hand. Illness has confined me to my room almost five weeks, and I am now hardly able to sit up and write this.

My reflections have made it clear to me that I should accept the place assigned to me; and do so with an earnest wish that those selected to actively represent the pur- poses and motives of your conference may not labor in vain.
 Your very truly,
 GROVER CLEVELAND.

Point.
"My Plan Was Adopt
3D." Says McMillen,
But the Fire Chief Gets His Horse
Just the Same.

A Bic Yield of Wheat There This

The banner wheat township this
year, so far as known, is Richield.
Allen Prickett secured a yield of 80
bushels to the acre; Henry Gargett
2SA; Harry Young 2S1a and others did
practically as well.
81 think it is because our clayey
soil was suited to such a winter as
we had" said Mr.. Sam, A Fauble,a pro-

this year will not be less than 20

The City Commissioners on Tuesday
morning took up the matter of Coun.
ellis asking for reconsideration of the
recommendation of Council that a ma
chine for measuring light be pur.
chased.
Messrs. Wilson and McMillen voted
in favor of reconsidering, and purchas-
ing the machine, but Mr.. Houser said
No" A majority of three was re-
quired, and Mr.. McGarry's being abb
sent made it impossible to reconsider.
He gave as his reason that there Ia
no money in the treasury to pay for it.
