MAN IN THE STREET.
London's New Bishop Has Faith in
 Him and His Future.
Or. Ingram a Practical Man of Af- fairs Rather Than 8 Scholar One of the orfginators of
 settlement Work."

English folk at home and over, seas are yet talking of the new bishop of London; of his early work, his discovery" by pr. Maciagan, now archbishop of York, his labors at Oxford house, his disputations Ill Victoria park and now his elevation after only IT years in holy orders to the most responsible position, next to the primacy, which the Church of England has to offer.
 It is as the friend, the practical friend, of that multitudinous British individual, the man in the street, that Dr. Ingram has won his reputa- ton. The winning of it has been done since 1888. Before that his life had been much like that of any young Englishman destined to the church.
 He was born 4s years ago in Worcestershire. His father was Rev. E. nington-Ingram, of Stanford rectory and Ribbesford house; and on his mother's side he is a grand son of Dr. Pepys,. who was bishop of Worcester from 1S41 to 1861. He was educated at Marlborough col- lege, and took a scholarship at Kebie college, Oxford, where he was un- der Dr. Talbot, with whom he will now. share the episcopal oversight in London. He was ordained deacon and priest by the bishop of Lichfield in 1884, and licensed to the curacy of, St. Mary's, Shrewsbury. Two years later he became private chap lain, to his bishop, Dr. Maclagan, now archbishop of York, who may fair Iy be said to have discovered him. Then, in 1sss-s9, hef entered on the work which ultimately brought him to the front, as head of Oxford house, at Bethnal Green. Canon

SWAPPING BABIES.

I t . .
 Have you any children you would like to exchange? Not per1fianently, of course, but long enough to afford d wholesome bit of rest to both sets of children and both sets of parents.
 In Berlin, Germany, where various other good ideas are i'll operation, the transfer of children is already an es- tablished system. City children are exchanged for country children, and vice versa. -@
 The children of the city poor are usually fated to stay in that place where they were born without.anyepp- portunity for change into country life. Country babies are likewise con fined by their poverty to very small territory. It is to benefit these two classes that the scheme of transfer was arranged
 The city children are by this plan given the physical benefits of a free out-of-door life; they learn to use their wits; their powers of observation are sharpened and their senses, dulled by the easy convenience, the closeness and narrow horizon of towns, have a chance to expand and strengthen. The country mouse, on the other hand, vegetating on small farm, is walked up and directed to look about. He see more in ten minutes than
 has ever seen in the ten years before, and also more than the city child would see in ten days, dulled by famil- iarity as he is. The plan of exchange has so far worked well, and promises to be of the greatest significance. Physically and mentally .-Exchange

 Henson had preceded him, and had found the task almost more than his strength could cope with. Mir. Ingram brought to it an untiring vfgor, and he established at once a close bond of interest between the young Oxonians and the work of the settlement. He developed it's activi- ties both on the social side and on the argumenta tive.
 Sunday after Sunday he stood in Victoria park, welcoming the argil- ments of the atheists and meeting them with style of eloquence which began insensibly to assimilate itself to their own. In Victoria park, that arena of free speech, he took his stand among the socialists with their red flag, the Salvation Army with it's brass band, the labor party, the 1secularists, the. Mormons, ubiquitous gentleman with fads, and cranks of all varieties. The appearance of a s'reaI parson" in the midst of these groups was sufficiently novel to bring a crowd, and it is to Bishop In- gram's credit {and the secret of his success in other directions) that he could hold it. Humor, point, repar- tee and pertinent anecdote-al all of these are his; and they only kept the people agape while serious words were deftly inserted. It is still easy, as one hears him preach in St. Paul's, to reconstruct the scene in the park, and as preacher the bishop will probable carry the effects of it through life.
 It is his practical way of doing the days work in the slunns around Bethnal Green that is his chief char acteristic, and no sketch of the new bishop is complete without refer .ence to it. When he went to Oxford house, near by stood the first church that was built in that district The inhabitants had given nothing to it, but some of them said they would subscribe sixpence to hang the bish- ! op wRen he came to conseerate it.
 For these people the mission of Ox- ford house was threefold; it sought ito save their bodies, minds and spir- lGits. It got at the bodies and minds first, and as these grew cleaner it touched their souls. The creation oi clubs was the first proeess-self-gov- erning clubs, with all sorts of amuse. ments and athletics. The boys are reached first, and they came in out Of the streets, and learned to behave
 keep clean, play fair and idolize their club. Then followed the men, and
 elsewhere, the girls and women. The clubs were purely social clubs-there
 was no buttonholing for eyangelistie
 purposes; but out of the, clubs grew debtaing societies and lectures and
 spirit of inquiry, and this led te personal intercourse and influence
 and so ons to Bible classes, and Sun
 day talks, and all the rest. To al this Ingram gave the ideal and the impetus, and over it and in it hs worked night and day.

GROWTH OF FLoRIcULTURE.

Few people have any adequate knowledge of the gigantic strides made in the science of Horticulture in the United States during the last decade. In the state of Connecticut alone there are over eight hundred thousand feet of glass devoted solely to flowers grown for commercial purposes.
 It is proposed to give the visitors to the Pan-American exposition as com plete presentation as possible of the progress of the country in this beanti- fui industry. A large conservatory will be devoted to floral exhibits from the different states, and the Connecti- cut Horticultural society have the ar engagements for this state in their care. and their method will give every florist tue opportunity of recognition. Each county will be expected to fill tile Con- necticJit section two complete weeks. By that plan no one will De neglected, and if all do their share the state will be honored by the exhibition, as 1t will demonstrate the progress made fn the art of home adornment.
 The amateur and private gardener will be welcomed Any who have flowers of exceptional beauty and who wish to exhibit can do so by cor respondeIlce with the secretary of the special committee on exhibits. Rev. Ma gee Pratt, Hartford, who will be hap py to give all necessary information, and every florist is urged to prepare something meritorirs for the county

CONCERT LAST EVENING.
Lovers of Music Gathered at, First
 Baptist Church.

Lovers or MUSIC GatHereu att9 iLSl
 Baptist Church.
 The lovers of superior music taxed the seating capacity of the First Bap- tist church last night, and much in deed did they relish the feast of classi- cal selections which had been prepared for them. An elaborate feast it was. It is true only two artists appeared, but they were sufficient. Once those pres ent had listened to the beautiful play ing of Frank J. Benedict, organfst or the Fourth Congregational church of Hartford, and heard the sweet, en- trancing notes of Miss Grace l.. Weir, soprano seloist at the same |. church, their appetite to listen to them was far from being. satiated. They yearned for more. MT Benedict's repu- tation did not suffer any from his play ing last evening, rather it gained con siderably among Waterbury people. He tested teh full -capabili- ties of the organ. His most varied nature, some soft and low and sweet, others loud and forceful. But in all he displayed a comprehen- sive conception of the various parts and a meritorious execution of the same.
 Miss Weir at once made herself a favorite with her audience. Of win ming personality, she possesses a sweet and melodious voice. Her rendition of the "Proyencal Song was delight ful.
 The program was as follows: First sonata (D minor). ... .Guilmant Pastorale--Finale.

 As read in last evenings Democrat the bill for the consolidation of the city and town of Waterbury passed the house of representatives yesterday by large majority Some people in this place are pleased with the vote but others are more than dissatisfied.
 T. E. Mcconnell of Chapel street has moved into the house of D. E.. Sprague on Elm street.
 The story in last evenings Democrat concerning the anxiety felt by many of the people of this village in regard to the question, whether they would have to paK to send their children to the Waterbury High school or not, was discussed considerably last night, And Fit appears that the question has been satisfactorily answered. The parents of those children, who graduate from the local school, will not have to pay to send their children to High school The district will settle all expenses. On the other hand, those people who move here, while their children are go- ing to the High school, will have to pay for them, themselves.

ANNUAL CLASS MEETING.
Jesse Deyine Elected President at the
 Meeting To-day.


 The annual class meeting of the seniors of the Waterbury High school was held this morning immediately after recess in the laboratory, and continued until about 1 o'clock. Though there were several contests for various offices, yet the meeting was q marked one for the harmony and smoothness with which the business or the meeting was dispatched. Princi- pal Stephen Fl. Wilby presided at the meeting. The first number on the program was to select a president. The interest of the meeting was centered upon the probable choice for this po- sition. Each year there isS a sharp contest for this position; 1t has many allurements. There were two candI- dates for this position, Jesse Deyine and Dennis Murray. Both have re- cefyed prominence from connections with athletic affairs and as students. After an informal ballot had been taken the following formal ballot took place: Deyine IS, Murray IT, one not voting. Devine was declared elected.
 The other officers chosen were as follows: Vice-president, Miss Mabel Camp; secretary. Dennis c. Murray; treasurer, Frederick Nuhn; historian, Miss Emma Manville;g prophet, Harry Knopf; prophet on prophet, Miss Louise Butler; class will, John T. Monzani; class poet, Miss Edna John son; class song, Miss Minna Storm; ivy orator, Joseph Fleming; presenta- ton speech, Miss Lima Winship. The following compose the executive com mittee, whose duty it is to select a motto, pins, etc: Joseph Brennan, Thomas Healey, John Hayes and the Misses Edna Johnson and Lima Win ship.
 The names of those who have won the honors of yaledictorian and salu- tatorian and the distinction of having their names appear on the honor list for excellency in studies. will be an- nouneed later. A new and novel fea- ture of the class day exercises this year will be presentation speech by Miss Lima Winship. This young lady will present to each member of the class something from basket, a scrap basket as it were. The gifts will be humorous and will be in the nature of a joke on the recipient. The class voted to present to the school two busts, one of Homer, the other of Cicero.
 This years class is small in compari- son with the class of 1900. There are about thirty-six members, while the class of 1900 was about eighty-two in number. But it is said Of this years 8 class what they lack in quantity they make up in quality.

A nur of Ancient Family.


 It remains for our humble and not very winning friend. the cockroach to boast of an antiquity far beyond the, widest dreams of the most arro- gant human family. Tn fact, the ia. ther of all black beetles probably walked the earth millions of years before neolithic man had even back cave to offer with the remains ot last nights supper for the cockroach of the period to enjoy. His discovery established the fact that in the Si- lurian period there were insects, al though, as the only piece of his re mains found was wing, there has been room for dispute as to the ex- act species. MT. Goss, in preface to the second edition of his book notes, says that what is probably still older insect has been found in the lower Silurian in Sweden. This was not a cockroach, but apparently something worse. If the Latin name, Protocimex silurius, be literally translated it means the original Si- lurian bug.-London Spectator.

PRAISE FOR NEW CHAPLAIN.
Sketch of Rev Father McGivney in
 May Magazine.

Sketch of Rev Father McGivney in
 May Magazine.
 Donahue's magazine for May has an excellent portrait of Rev Patrick Me @Giyney of Bfiddietown, former Wa &erbury boy. It also gives the follow &1g sketch of his life.
 & At the national convention held in vew Haven last month. Rev Patrick #1fcGivney of Middletown. Conn, was |ch0sen by the Knights of Columbus to succeed Rev Garrett J. Barry of Bos- ton as national chaplain of the order. Father McGfvney. the newly appoint ed chaplain is a brother of Rev Michael McGivney who founded the Knights of Columbus. The present chaplain was born thirty-four years ago at sthe Me Givney homestead" In Waterbury, Conn. His preparatory schooling was received in the public institutions of that city He pursued his college course at Niagara university; studied philosophy at the Grand seminary, Montreal, and again received the0logi- cal training at St Johns seminary, Brighton, Mass. Archbishop Williams ordained Father McGivney to the priesthood, Trinity week. 1891. Since CFQfndIlOu Qe HIS bttA eOnHSSASu NAeiA St Johns parish. Aliddletown, of which Rev Bernard O'ReilIy Sheridan of Land league fame. is rector.
 The new chaplain is gifted with the uualitfes which his late brother pos- Eessed in so marked degree, qualities which empowered the elder, and will serve the younger brother to spread the organization that has so marvel ousIy fourished since it's humble in- ception. The personal magnetism. the ability to understand men, the rare power of yielding together seemingly irreconcfIab1e forces. the courageous temperament that yields unwiilingly 10 obstacle or barrier; the rich hu- manity which is prodigaI of sympathy and prompts the possessor to benefit others, all the noble characteristics of which the Rev Michael MeGiyney WAS n notably fortunate inheritor. have passed on to the new chaplain as a legacy. At a time when the order is entering upon it's critical stage it is q happy augury that the priest who is in spiritual command and is lowered with the spirit that gave the organ fzaffon its creation, fortunate. again. that tlais spirit has evolved under the careful watching of so experienced a society promoter as the Rev Father 3IcGiYney, to whom all Connecticut or ganizations are indebted
