AN ARMY OF TOADs.

While Dorchester is still wondering where the pioneers of her snake colony came from, she is just now beset with speculation as to the origin of settle ment of small black toads. They have pre-emptied the region surrounding an old stump in yard on Humphrey Place. and appear to be in the full en- ioyment of that freedom of life which a residence in the depths of a wood as- sures. It is rarely that a member of the community is seen during the day but immediately the pail of night is spread over the district they begins to show themselves. They come out from their hiding places under rank growth of fungus that encircles the stump, and take different paths in search of an evening meal
 It is not known how far they go, but upon the approach of midnight they be- gin to assemble on a long patch of con- crete that serves as walk through the yard, and which is laid in close prox- unity to the rendezvous When the en- tire number that left the stump is pres- ent, they form in single file, and, appa- rently, at signal, all begin to hop at the same time straight for their camp, and soon disappear.
 This peculiar performance has been witnessed by several residents of the io, cality. The lady in whose yard the camp has been established thought to break it up by setting her rabbit cat af- ter the hoppers, but the feline showed no desire to disturb the toads, and the latter continue to enjoy full immunity from olestatlon.-Boston Herald.

CHILDREN'S CARNIVAL,

Annual Affair of Reynolds School of Elocution
 The ninth annual recital, or rather the children's carnival, of the pupils of the Reynolds School of Elocution and Dancing was given before a delighted and highly entertained audience in Mu- sic hall last rie7t The spacious hall was filed with the relatives and friends of the young participants on the pro- gramme, and the work of all should have been highly gratifying to them, as each number was exCellently given and generously applauded in consequence.
 The first part of the evening was de- voted to the production of a pretty lit tie operette entitled "The Wedding of the Lily and the Rose" The full cast of characters and the synopsis of the play were given in this paper on Tues day morning. It was excellently given and thoroughly enjoyed The young folks acquitted themselves with much credit, both to themselves and to those who have instructed them.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Action on narttnique Disaster-- Wealth
 er Observer Tarr's Interesting Talk.

The Chamber of Commerce held its
 building last night.
 President Bradley spoke at soms length of the recent terrible loss of life and destruction of property on the is- land of Martinique, and suggested that
 some action should be taken by tha chamber In reference thereto. On mo- tion it was decided that the matter be referred to the executive committee
 with power to act. It is thought that
 the executive committee will start a re-
 lief subscription fund, and it will meet | in day or two to determine just what
 action should be taken.
 l Another matter taken up was that of 1 joining with the mayor and the Busi- ness Mems association in asking that the next convention of the Internation-
 al Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi- neer be held in this city in May, 1904 It was stated that fully a thousand
 persons will attend, and the sessions
 will last for nearly three weeks. The
 advisability of having some small de- scriptive pamphlet published and sent to the delegates now in session was also discussed The whole matter was final- ly settled by appointing Wilson H. Lee to represent the chamber in the meet ing to be held this afternoon, an &C., count of which will be found in another column.
 Weather Observer Tarr was the speaker of the evening. He gave a most interesting and instructive, talk on the methods employed by the United States weather bureau in determining the nature of the coming weather and the direction and character of expected storms. His talk was Illustrated with numerous maps and drawings, which aided the hearers much in fully under standing the exact methods. At the conclusion of the talk vote of thanks was rendered MT. Tarr.
 Henry c. Rowe made short report the progress being made in the work of dredging the harbor. The new year book. compiled by the secre- tary, John Currier Gallagher, was dis trbuted to the members.

Plans for Successful Season This sum. n1er-More Arc Lights to be Added VII Make the Track as Light as Day-En. tries for the Opening Coming In Fast The New Haven Coliseum on Howard
 avenue, which is to- formally open the bicycle racing season with a profess s1onal and amateur sprint card next Tuesday night, is the first of the small tracks to open for night races.
 Last night the electric plant which furnishes illumination for the grounds was turned on in the presence of Man. agers Votgt and De Vries and quite a crowd of spectators. The experiment was successful, but it was decided to add more arc lamps and make the track as light as day.
 Entries are coming in rapidly for the opening and while the amateurs are still bit backward probably owing to the early opening. q fine list of pro- fessional riders have already been re- ceived. It is expected that over fifty individual riders will face the starter on the opening night.
 All the events will be of the short, snappy order, for the opening, although it is intended to run quite a few long distance events during June
 The new managers are enthusiastic over the outlook and predict that New Haven will see a season of cycle rac- Ing sport equal to the best in the world.
 The reserved seat sale will open to- day at S. Goodman & Co, 820 Chapel street.
 A rumor in circulation that has been given credence in some quarters to the effect that George H. Collett still has an interest in the track Is vigorously denied by Messrs. voigt and De Vries. They assert that Collett has no part or right In the Coliseum, the track be- ing purchased outright by them last January

 My mother is dead was his reply. "A few minutes later he induced his companion to try the tabasco. When his friends eyes became watery, he asked why he was crying.

LOOSE COWS IN LAUREL.

The loose COWS of Laurel seem to
think themselves privileged charac
tiers. Yesterday morning. one of
them took it upon herself to do all
the damage she could and began at
Burnett's grocery on Oak street where
she marched up to the window and at
ter scattering bushel of navy beans
over the sidewalk, turned over box
containing eight dozen eggs, all Of
which were smashed. She then pro-
ceeded to the store of Patton Bros,
where she bursted a paper bag con-
tanning a dollars worth of sugar that
was sitting on the sidewalk awaiting
delivery. Not satisfied with this she
mad e her way around to McMullen' S
groc cry and upset "a barrel of apples
that had just been opened. We don t
know where she went after this, as no
further reports of her mischief have
been heard, but we suppose she must
have been carried to the lookup by
one of the policemen. Laurel Chron-
