NO OPINION YET RECEIVED

On the Power of the Common Council
In Regard to Transfers.
The committee on railroads and
bridges met last night in executive ees-
sion and endeavored to agree upon a
recommendation on the petition for the
construction of a drawbridge over Mill
river at Grand avenue, but was unable
to do so. No recommendation has yet
been made concerning the matter of
transfers on the electric railways of the
city because an opinion asked for from
the corporation counsel has not yet
been rendered. The vote of the COM
mittee in requesting the opinion and
copy of which was transmitted to the
corporation counsel is as follows:
Voted, that the corporation counsel
be requested to give an opinion wheth-
er the court of common council has the
power to compel the street railway sys-
TENS to inaugurate a transfer system
and If it has such power, to frame in a
proper legal form an order for the COM
mittee to present to the common coun-
Gil as favorable report on the petition
of the New Haven Business Mems as
ISOLATION, regarding transfers.

The new farce my Wifes First Hus-
band" had its initial performance yes
terday afternoon at Polls, when Edwin
Milton Royle, Selena Fetter Royle and
their company gave it to a an audience
that filled every seat in the house. Last
nights audience was also very large,
for keen interest was created by the
announcement that the performers of
so good farce as Captain Impudence"
were willing to test new product be-
fore critical New Haven audience
The farce scored big hits at both mat
inee and evening, the former audience
being principally ladies, while the even
ing crowd was a representative Poll
clientele of both sexes.
Herbert Hale Winslow's name is bill
ed as the author, but it is evident that
Mr.. Royle has touched up the lines, for
many OF them carry his bright, lerse
wit and happy turns of repartee. My
Wife's First Husband Is the title To
use a street phrase, there is something
doing" in this farce all the time, but it
is kept well within the bounds of prob
ability and is commercially clean. Mr..
Royle and Mrs. Fetter have lots to do,
and they do it well. Seth Smith as the
senator is capital.
The excellent vaudeville support re-
mains unchanged. 1t includes Hines
and Remington, Ed Reynard, ventrilo-
quist; Caswell and Arnold, Bessie
Lamb, jeanette and Shaw and many
others. My Wife's First Husband"

GLADSTONE LODGE.

Soc1able and Dance Held Last Night
Tom Smith, the Popular Secretary,
Presented With Gold Chain and
Charm.
William e. Gladstone lodge, Order
Sons Of st. George, held very sue
cessful concert and dance at st.
Georges hall last night. There was a
large crowd Of the members and their
friends present and an excellent pro-
gramme of songs and musical selections
were gone through, followed by dance.
During an interval in the programme
William Reeves assembled the platform
and said that Gladstone lodge since Its
inauguration had been very successful
In having on it's executive staff first
class secretary, whom he stated was
really the handspring of any organi-
cation. The president and other officers
were in reality only figureheads for the
real work and success of the lodge lay
with the man who occupied the secre-
tary's chair If he was a good man the
lodge was good. If q poor man the
lodge was generally poor. If success
full man the lodge was successful.
Mr.. Reeves paid a high compliment
to the good work performed by the first
secretary, r. w. Crute, who had been
promoted to grand secretary of the
state, and while they were not last
night to recognize Mr.. Crute's good
work on behalf of the lodge yet he
could assure Mr.. Crute that his services
were not forgotten and would be duly
appreciated at some future time. He
then spoke at some length on the SER
vices rendered by their present secre-
tary, Tom Smith, and concluded by pre-
senting Mr.. Smith, on behalf of the
members with an elegant solid gold
chain with charm The charm one one
side was Sudden with diamonds and
rubies and bore the inscription Pre-
scented to Thomas Smith by w. e. Glad
stone Lodge, February, 1901 On the
reverse side was the st. Georges coat
of arms with the inscription "Honi Lott
Qui Maly Pense'' Mr.. Smith in few
remarks thanked the MEM
bers for theA. unexpected gift.

Eristol-Fear That She May be Dead
from Exposure, as She Was ThinIy
CIad-Searching Parties Out.
Bristol, Feb. 7.-While suffering from
mental alteration, superinduced by the
grip, this morning, Agnes Hodges
aged twenty years, the daughter OF
James Hodges, who resides on North
street, wandered away from home,
thinly clad. Searching parties were
organized, but up to l o'clock this af-
ternoon she had not been found. 1t is
thought that unless she has been taken
in by some one she may be dead from
exposure.
Miss Hodges is student at Smith
college and about week ago she tenn
porarily abandoned her studies and
came home, saying that she was not
feeling well. The grip afterwards de-
veloped, but her condition was not
thought to be serious.
Yesterday it was noticed that her
mind was wandering. At o'clock this
morning her mother left the sick girls
Immediately Miss Hodges donned a
wrapper and pair Of slippers and left
the house through the front door.
Her mother returned to find her gone.
Greatly excited, Mrs Hodges gave the
alarm and friends and relatives began
a search. The section Of the town in
which the family lived was thoroughly
secured, but no trace of the girl was
found. The searchers ade still at work
this afternoon. Some of them are go
ing in the direction of Plainville.
The utmost concern is felt for her
safety by her family and friends. Near
the Hodges home is patch of wood
land. 1t is possible that she may have
gone in this direction and persisted
from the cold.
The girls father left this afternoon
for Plainville He told a reporter be-
fore leaving that his daughter has rela-
tives there, and thought it possible that
she boarded a trolley car and went to
that place.
Miss Hodges is a graduate of the
Bristol high school. She is prepos-
sessing young lady and has many
friends.
Miss Hodges father is superintend-
ent of Warren & Co.'s turning mill.
Bristol, Conn, Feb. miss Agnes
Hodges, the Smith college student who
wandered away to-day while in state
of mental alteration from the effects of
an attack of the grip, returned to her
home on North street tonight. Miss
Hodges was utterly unable to account
for her wanderings but appeared not to
have suffered from her experience.

Philadelphia Times: The Mckees- port man who resigned from the com mon council because he found that, to he useful to his constituents. he mus, stific his conscience. nigh, con ccivably have been of more use to them had he stuck to his post. This would have required courage and persistence, which he evidently did not possess; but with these qualities a man with conscience may often accomplish a great deal. IL is discouraging work. He wilt not enter into log-rolling com binations and so he gets nothing tor his ward and his constituents think him inccicnt. But if he has the courage and backbone to stay by his post and carry out his convictions, it is no telling the wonderful amount of good he might have accomplished.

lT will doubtless surprise many to be told that the value of the coal produced by the United States in l9OO-S297. 92O, OOO-ex- ceed that of any other mineral and was one-third of the total of all minerals. But the fact is at tested by official figures just completed and made public by the U. s. Geological Survey. Our coal product was 1000, 900 tons greater, or l6H. than in the previous year, and leaves Eng land far behind as the greatest coal producer, a position she held previous to 1899. We will prob ably fall short a few tons this year, however, because of the damage sustained by the coal re- zion of West Virginia by recent floods.

Texas Farm and Ranch: The Boer war has astonished the world. History gives no account of people fighting for liberty against such odds, and manifesting such self-saerifcing he roism. Unquestionably, the people of the civilized world, by large majori- ty. sympathise with these hardy heroes, but the governments of the earth will not take any step to thwart the inten. tions of Great Britain. The Boers are now looking to the Hague Peace trib. unal. but in vain. for England only consented to the tribunal on condition that no question concerning the South African Republics should be consider. ed by it, thus showing that England at this time made no secret of her in. tcntion to suhjugate those people whenever she is ready to undertake the task. The Boer war will be the blackest spot on the pages of history.

Riverside Press: Mayor Snyder of Los Angeles may pray to be delivered from his friends before he progresses very far on his gubernatorial cam paign. Chris Buckley, the blind white devil" has come out for Snyder. and if anything will hoodoo man in California politics. it is Buckiey's sup port for any office. The fact that Snyder is acceptable to so notorious and shameless a political boss as Buckley. is one very good evidence that we dc not want him for Governor.
 We should think that in the above the Press takes very peculiar stand. of course we are not acquainted with the history of Buckley, but no doubt as bad men as he voted for General Grant aud the fact that they did failed to render Grant unioyai to his country. and the same might be true in the case of Snyder.

- IT IS not often that a President does a thing that pleases every body, but Mir. Mckinley didn't miss ii far when he announced that he would not be a candidate for a third term. The sum and substance of the sentiments ex- pressed by men of all political parties IS that the country owes President Mckinley a debt of gratitude for saving II from such d three-year third-term discussion as that which the people went through III the late seventies, when General Grant was being pushed for a third term, and when enmities were aroused which lasted for years. Of the two. Mckinley would certainly be more preferable than would Hanna, still there Is not the slightest doubt that the sentiment of the country IS now. as always has been. overwhelmingly oP- posed to d third term for any President.

W. F. Holt returned to lmpc-
 rial Monday, from San Diego,
 where he had been the past week,
 attending meetings of the execu- tive committee of the San Diego
 Eastern railway, of which he is a member. Mir. Holt reports a good trip, but says people over there are complaining with the heat. What a pity they cannot close up their houses and cross the mountains for breath of lm- pcrial's pure air.
 Regarding the railroad move mcnt Mir. Holt says San Diegans are certainly very enthusiastic, and are making every effort in their power to secure an early connection with the country this side of the mountains. He said that the people of that place pro- pose to raise S5O. GOO to bc used by the executive committee for preliminary purposes, and then propose to give subsidy Of $500. 0OO to the road when ar engagements are completed for ifs construction. This, with the $500. O00 offered by the Imperial Land company, constitutes q nice little fund alone. and there should De no trouble to induce some railroad capitalists to take hold of the matter ana put it 
 The committee will employ q railroad engineer at once and consider the route best suited for the road, secure rights of way, subsidies, franchises, etc. In fact the committee Is now consid- ering. in a general way, the ad. of the different routes from San Diego to the Colorado river. Nothing short of com potent engineer, however, can decide this question, as there are many advantages and disadvan- tages to be considered.

Straw is Worth Money.

A recent issue of the Lyons, Rice
county. Democrat says.
X. F. Embree has had numerous
inquiries for baled straw from the
eastern part of the state. The kind
wanted is smooth straw and there is
very little of that kind around here.
The fact remains, however, that aside
from its real value as rough feed here
at home, straw is going to have a mar
ket value this coming fall and winter.
The drought in eastern Kansas has
been much worse than in central and
western parts of the state. There
they haven't even straw to feed and
like conditions prevail in Missouri.
Transfers in cities must have feed
and the importation of Kansas straw
will help solve their problem. Farmers
who stack their straw and allow non.
OF 1t to be destroyed will be ahead on
the deal this year.
