CREED NOT QUESTIONED.
Aged and Penniless will Find Home With Little Sisters of the Poor.

Aged and Penniless will Find Home
 With Little Sisters of the Poor.
 Right Reverend Bishop Iierney has given his full approbation to the Little Sisters of the Poor in an answer to their application for permission to es- tablish in New Haven one of their in- stitutions. It is planned that they will send from the headquarters in Brook lyn, a band of Sisters who will main tain the home for aged and penniless people. This institution was made possible by the bequest of Andrew c. Smith, the builder, who provided about S4O.00O in his will for these sisters if they would establish a home i'll New Haven The Little Sisters of the Poor who, at the presnt time have homes of the kind in all parts of the country and in Europe. immediately responded and last week the matter was laid be- fore Bishop Tierney by the Brooklyn Provincial to whom the head of the church in Connecticut at once respond. ed. fully approving of the movement.
 The only delay that prevents the iln- mediate institution of the proposed home is the fact that no site for the building has as yet been decided upon. This matter however will probably be arranged at once.
 Homes which are managed by these sisters are now flourishing in the Unit ed States from Maine to California. The first to be instituted in the coun- try was ore which is now standing, in Bushwick street, Brooklyn. 1t was built there by the sisters about thirty years ago. There are now two in. Brooklyn, two in Now York. two in. Chicago, two In Boston. two in St Louis. two in Baltimore, two in phil- ndclnhia and oIlc in Providence and Washington.
 The only rcnt;ircmnllts which are looked for bv tho managers of these homes are flat the applicant for ad-i mission and care he over sixty years of age, aud that if is Il fact that the person under consideration is pcnniless and without means Of support.
 Thoueh the sistcrhood having the homes in charge are essentially Catll-
 olic, there are no questions asked as to the creed or race of the applicant. No
 color lines are drawn. The homes are
 supported. too. bv the efforts of the sA'Ss'sAsss tibt'Sii pt'SStuS uuu VV IiiSs gifts of public spirited men. When an aged person Is taken into the institu- ton he or she may remain there for life dependent OH the care of those havina the house in charge

AGUINALDO A CYCLIsT.

It is not generally known that the famous Filipino, Aguinaldo, had his bicycle to thank time and again for timely deliverance from the hands of the enemy. The little general has been systematically held up by an ardent American press as lacking in most of the physical characteristics that go to make up a man, but according to the statement of an American globe trot-1 ter' who a night or two ago enter tained group of friends i'll the cafe of the Imperial hotel, in New York, with sundry interesting accounts of his travels, the diminutive Filipino in no wise lacks many of the qualities Of his captor, Colonel Funston, himself.
 The traveller at the Imperial had had ample opportunity to study the insur- gent leader at Hong Kong, prior to Ad-s miral Dewey's sortie into Manila Bay, and learned upon excellent authority that Aguinaldo is an accomplished horseman. a good swordsman, q clever boxer and all enthusiastic wheelman.
 While waiting for the expected at Hong Kong the Filipino leaders fa- vorite diversion was an afternoon spin- a-wheel over the fashionable drives of the Chinese metropolis. He wore the regulation cycle costume, and was in variab1y accompanied by his secretary, Lopez, who now makes his headquar- ters at Montreal He rode high geared American wheel. and like most athletes of small build, was a graceful and strong rider Subsequently,, ac- cording to the narrator, he took this same wheel with him to Manila, and when fortune went against him carried it with him into the interior of Luzon, where he used it to advantage until 1t was 'sput out of business" by badly punctured tires. which for obvious reasons he was unable to renew. Fun ston,' said the traveller, s'is beyond doubt great fighter, but if Senor Az uinaldo's tires had been in good condi- ton he would not now be in a Manila guard house. know, for watched him throw dust in many pair of eyes on the sRotton Row of Hong Kong just before Dewey set sail for Cayite."

New Haven, April 17.--Ncw Haven
 city election was hold yesterday and
 the result shows the election of Judge
 John F. Studley, tho republican cal-
 didate, who defeated Mayor Cornelius
 Drlscoll by q majority of O10 votes.
 The rest of tho democratic ticket was
 elected. The result of the election
 cones as n surprise fo tho republicans
 i'll the size of the majority accorded their candidate. Mayor Driscoll foll
 off in the wards where he was thought
 to be strongest.
 The result was considered by the re-
 publicans to be at least doubtful in spite of the ante-election claim of d
 majority of 800 votes. The democrats claimed that they would elect their man by 1000 majority. The second ward was expected to give Driscol1 fair lead but he secured a bare majori- ty of five votes The strongly demo- cratic thirdsward gave Driscoll only majority of 369. Even more startling was the result in the fourth ward; 1t was looked upon as safe for the pres ent mayor but it gave a majority of 196 for Judge Stutley. <.

 There is considerable talk concern ing Improvements which will be made on Main street before Inc macadam road. 1t is said that curbing will be laid and perhaps concrete sidewalks in front of the property belonging to the Welch Hosiery Co, Mrs Daniel Carter, Eunice Garrigus and others.

 But how can you make them beau tiful?" asked the chump.
 Don't have to. I'll send back the photographs with letters something like this:
 .'Dear Miss: After seeing your photograph we are surprised that you desire to become more beautiful than you already are. 1t sometimes. seems that the very ones upon whom God bestows His greatest favors are the least thankful. One so divinely en- dowed with such loyeliness as you possess should be contented. Although we have added to the beauty of such women as Lily Langtry, Maxine Elliot and Lillian Russell, our honor as gen- tlemen and our reputation as an old established firm compel us to inform you that you already possess beauty, far beyond the possibilities of our system.

An English clergyman came to America, and in due time became citizen. While on a pleasure trip abroad his filial affection induced him
 to call on his poor mother, whom he found an inmate of the Medway workhouse. The poorhouse board in- ymated that he ought to contribute to his mothers maintenance. This loving son, with the blood of freedom coursing through his veins, stoutfy maintained that, being now an Amer ican citizen, he had no legal responsi- bility to waste his money in supportr ing his mother. -
