NEW BUILDING WALLS.

Being Constructed Heavier and Better
 Than in the Old Buildings.
 The division walls of the buildings now going up about town are much thicker than the ones that have been torn down and the rest of the con struction is proportionately stouter. so that the new blocks will be much better than the ones that went up in smoke last February The division walls are owned jointly by the adjoin- ing property owners, all having an in- terest ill them paying pro rata share of the cost of construction. Where this arrangement cannot be made ev- cry man has to build on his own prop erty and in so doing the owners lose heavily. for the walls have to be the same thickness and the owners are out from thirteen to eighteen inches each besides the expense of the wall Us- ually both parties see the wisdom of getting together on matters of this kind, but once in while q fellow kicks because he is not prepared to build and does not want a wall at all. In this case the man who moves first must operate inside his own line and when the other man gets ready to inn prove his property he is obliged to put up a wall of his own. This is the req son you see so many buildings with just room enough between them to stick in the blade of a knife. These spots soon become the abiding place of disease germs which often prove a source of much suffering in communi- ties. They should not be allowed to exist i'll any part of the city The first wall should be built on the divi- sion line, one half resting on both properties and if the man who owns the unoccupied land is not willing to pay his share at that time he should be obliged to use it when he does build and settle then. This is something that could not be done when people put up any kind of walls that suited themselves, but now that the walls have to be of a regulation thickness whether they are owned jointly or not, it would be a good plan to have all build on the line and do away with the disease breeding s in narrow spaces between [ ha board of health should 2, tier some attention Ther Fl of this kind on now. but .ell when there will be.

EDITOR VANCE.
An Interesting Story of His Youth, as
 Told by Himself.

'
 Told by Himself
 A friend of Robert J. Vance at his funeral yesterday told q story or the man that he had heard from MT Vance himself some years ago. It was that when Vance was a small child ms mother made for him a fine new coat, of which both he and she were very proud. He put it on and went down street and a strange woman catching sight of the little boy called him to her and taking him by the hand asked him if he would like some candy. He al lowed that the supposition was reason able and she bought him some. Then they walked along together and finally she asked him to step into the doorway of house, saying she wanted to take off his coat and take the pattern of 1t for her own boy. He complied and the envied coat was removed. He waited in the hallway as long as his patience endured and then went home. The beautiful lady with the candy never came back It was cool day and on the way home he took bad cold, from the effects of which he contracted the catarrhal trouble that never after that left him and that finally broke him down, as he was naturally not strong.

REVISION OF STATUTES.
Members of the Commission Closing
 Up Their Work.

Up Their Work.
 The members of the commission on inc revision of the statutes are bring ing their work to close, and the vol ume containing the revised statutes will be issued July 1. The actual work of revision is completed and the mem- bers are now engaged on the prepara- ton of the index. The work of index ing requires a great deal of care. u Is the intention now to have the index temporary one to be perfected after wards. This temporary index will De, however, comprehensive, and if it falls short of absolute eXactness it will suf- flee for practical purposes. The melp- bers of the commission worked on tho index in the Capitol last Saturday night until midnight. They resumed their labors on Sunday morning at 3 o'clock and continued their work dur- ing the day, and until late at night.
 The revisers of the statutes were kept back i'll their work by the uncer- tainty of the fate of the constitution. If the work of the constitutional con- yenion had been ratified by the people of the state it would have been neces- sary to redraft some of the statutes in order to avoid conflict with the pro visions of the constitution. But the members. like nearly everyone in public life who has an opportunity of gauging the sentiment of the people, foresaw that the constitution would be rejected and continued their work, as far as possible, with this contingency in view. But. of course, the possibility of its ratification had to be provided for, and this involved in some instances double work, so that the commission was pre- pared for whatever happened. The members of the commission had the old and the proposed constitution printed. The latter will now be dis carded, and only the old constitution will be printed with the revised l sfatlIteS

EXPENSES OF CONVENTION.
Figures to Show That They Will
 Amount to Nearly ST3.OoO.

tlgures to Show That They Will
 Amount to Nearly ST3,0oO.
 Now that the people of the state have rejected the constitution submit ted to them by the constitutional con- Ycntion it will be of interest to learn how much the convention has cost the state. There are q few outstanding bills yet to be paid by the comptroller, but there are sufficient data at hand from which to form reliable estimate of the cost of the convention. The sums actually paid by the comptroller are as follows:
 Frank E Healy, clerk .S2. 10000 George E. Hinman, asst clerk 10000 Trumbulls history ........ o0.OO Postage \. .................. 23.5O Gavel, etc .................. 14.75 Boston & Albany k. R.. ...... 32.40 Stationery ~. ............. 1331G Chaplain Brown ............ 10000 Chaplain Smith ............. 10000 Barber .... .............. POI 60 Colonel Schulze and Miss Wicks
 for plan of house ..... 1000 Individual transportation of del-
 egates .... !. .......... S,S12.SG
 Iotdi ..''.s ...... ..... .@lo,44S.Zi
 In addition to the amounts paid above for transportation of members the sum of $75 is sti-l to be paid to railroad companies. The printing bill of Case Lockwood x Brainard, which it is thought may amount to $1,600, has not been paid yet, and there is bill of $100 for postage oth- CT than the sum mentioned in the above table. The wages of the addi- tional capitol employees who were en- gagged, by Comptroller Chamberlain for, the entire session of the constit,l- tional convention amounted to $4,S00. These employees were paid at the rate of S15 q week which was less than the rate at which capitol employees en- gagged for the session of the general assembly are paid.
 There is also to be added to the ex- penses of the constitutional convention the sum of $2.500 to be paid Stenog- rapher Cogswell for two transcripts of his notes of the proceedings. This is the amount of the appropriation made by the convention and which the comp troller cannot exceed, but it is more than likely that MT Cogswell's bill will not quite equal that amount. 1t Will. IL IS lHUuSHl, pc |ioO VT p-oo lSSS- MT Cogswell is hard at work at the present. He is transcribing his notes and when he delivers one copy he will be paid the first installment. If, as it is thought, the delegates to the con vention will be paid at the rate of $500 for the session, the expenses will be increased by the sum of $50.400.
 The foregoing items will bring the expenses of the constitutional conyen- tion ID to $72,923.2T.
