 At this stage of the proceedings all hands appeared to be getting scared at the size of the coming rate bills. They had been doing some figuring and found that if all demands should be acceded to it would require over fifty two mills on the dollar to raise the money needed. There will be three rates of taxation. On the basis of a fifty-two mill tax property within the old city lines will be taxed that amount; property in what is known as the new city limits would pay the full school tax and half as much city tax as the inside district The town tax would be about twelve mills. Mayor Ililduff said a fifty mill tax would create a revolution. Then all looked at each other and adjourned until next Wednesday night, when they will have conference with the select men and the city attorney.

APPLES A LUXURY.
Cost More Per Barrel at Wholesale
 Than Flour.

Cost More Per Barrel at Wholesale
 Than Flour.
 At the present time strictly first class apples are wNcth at wholesale $7 per barrel, while first class flour can be purchased at wholesale for $450 per barrel. A cheaper grade of apples can be bought for less money, as can also cheaper grade of four. The av- craze difference in price, according to the quality, will be found to be nearly if not quite S2.5O per barrel.
 There is every indication that it will be cheaper to eat oranges the coming winter than apples: The orange crop, unless the unexpected happens, will be a heavy one, this season, both from Florida and from California. A man was in the city selling cider Monday and he stated that he sold it for 20 cents gallon at retail, which is a heavy price to pay for apple juice fresh from the press. It looks as though mince pies with cider and ap- pies would, this year, be a luxury.

OPENING oF cooKING SCHOOL.
Many Visitors Were Present at Friend.

Many Visitors Were Present at Friend
 ly League Rooms Yesterday.
 The cooking school of the Young
 Women's Friendly league, the equip ments of which have just been lin ished, was opened to public inspection yesterday afternoon and evening. About 200 people were present in the afternoon and a large number during the evening, including Mayor E. C. Kilduff and the members of the board of finance. The school is situated on the third floor of the building and in- cludes three rooms, the dining room, bedroom and the main room, in which thorough instruction in cooking is given. The cooking department is thoroughly equipped with everything essential to this art. In the main room is a large bench which has the form of an elongated horseshoe. There are accommodations for twenty-four persons at one time at this bench. Be- fore the seat of each person is a gas burner, on which food may be cooked. Underneath the bench there are places where the smaller utensils which the pupils use, such as knives, forks, spoons, etc, can be neatly stored away. Within the enclosure of this bench the cooking instructor will give her in- structions. On one side of the room are several cases in which various things are kept. As q whole the rooms contain everything that is required for the equipment and arrangement of a modern school kitchen. In addition to the small gas stove at each seat there is a large gas range and two separate ovens. on which large quantities cf food will be cooked. The light and ventilation is very good. During the day abundant light is furnished through the many windows. while in the evening gas and electricity will be used. In the dining room the pupils are taught how to set the table, ate. A table and side board are part of the furniture of this room, which is equipped similar to any room of it's nature. In the bedroom the pupils are taught how to ''make up" the bed. The rooms are finely equipped and those who inspected them last niElt We're we'll pleased with what they saw.

STOLE THE DOOR KNOBS.
Three Trinity College Students E
 pelled From the Institution.

Hartford, Nov 15.-Three graduat students have been summarily retire from Trinity college for committlil depredations on the college property | The men dismissed are: Harry Ham ton Cochrane of Newington Junctloi Walter Alfred Mitchell and Victo Forrest Morgan of this city. Mitche lives at 72 Vernon street and MOrga resides at 227 Sigourney street. The offense for which the men wel thus dealt with is q unique as well in some respects a rather amusin one, and does not reflect upon th characters of those involved as som such cases do.s It appears that of lat many knobs have been missing iron the doors of the main building q Trinity The knobs are of brass ans bear the crest of the institution.
 The matter reached the ears of tn faculty, and an investigation was Dc gun. The janitor made q tour of tn, building, and, much to the amusemen of the student body, took an inventory of the door knobs, q considerable nun Der of which could not be accounte, for The janitor reported the exac state of affairs to the college authori ties, who decided that immediate ao ton should be taken.
 Suspicion was attracted towarf Cochrane, Mitchell and Morgan, whs were served with a written notice, in structing them to appear before tho faculty Wednesday afternoon. Tn. men did not appear. however, and tn. faculty, after lengthy session, durinc which the case was thoroughly dis. cussed, concluded to retire the wrong dOerS
 Yesterday noon each of the latter re- ceived a notice, signed by President Smith, in the name of the faculty. notifying them that they must with draw from the college at once.
 The retired students contemplate submitting a petition to the faculty. asking that the case be reconsidered. and that they be afforded an oppor- tunity to present a defense. They claim that they did not receive notifi- cation to appear at the meeting of the faculty on Wednesday afternoon until too late.
 The three men were taking gradu- ate courses in physical science at the college. COchrane and Mitchell were members of the class of 1901, while Morgan graduated in 1S99 Cochrane lived at 105 Jarvis hall.
 The fad of wearing the Trinity crest as fob bade fair to become very pop- ular until it was sharply checked bv the retiring of three of the offenders some of the students had promised to give the coveted crests to their young lady friends, but now these rash prom lses will probably remain unfulfilled.
