rights of the New Haven Water com pany the city should drill artesian | wells at very small cost and thus com
 pei the water company to sell out at a i small price or else have their pipes par alelled.
 MT Gay was closely listened to and frequently interrupted by applause. ] George M. Wallace was the second speaker and he confined his remarks to the third proposition of the Water conl- pany.
 This is for the signing of a perpetual
 contract. He said that in the first
 place we should not sign contracts which had to do with conditions which would exist in the times of our chill dren and of our childrens' children but should confine ourselves to the present
 only. We could not tell forty years in tine future just what would be the con dition of affairs and in consequence we should act for the present and let future generations act for themselves.
 He produced many sets of figures and cited many instances where it was
 beneficial for the cities to have munich pal ownership of public commodities.
 The concluding speaker was George N. Casson of New York. He spoke in part as follows:
 We have not public ownership of public officials; but, private ownership of public men. Tn order to stop this we must go back to the idea of the town meeting and compel them to listen to us. That is what we are doing to- night The influence of man to-day depends puon the size of his purse. A newspaper reported the other day that a man had been killed; but, as he for tunately had deposited all his money in bank the day before, he only lost his life. I am never temperate when come to New Haven; for, I'd sooner be drunk than dead from typhoid gernms. I ask you, what have we built our great cities for? For the benefit of few men? No. A city must own itself: and, can never own itself prop erly until we have public ownership of public necessities. The treatment of the rich and the poor by our fire de- partments postal service, public schools and on the public highways is equal. The public institutions are a success. Why shouldn't the public water company thrive also?" MT. Casson's address was replete with hu- mor, and he was frequently applauded, and loduly cheerd at the conclusion of his address.
 Several others in the audience made brief remarks.

4 NEW USE FOR LIMBURGER
 CHEESE.

It Narrowly Escaped Success-The
 Postoffice Inspectors Could do Noth-
 ing,
 A letter carrier in an Ohio postoffice was engaged to a young lady whose as- pirations ran in the direction of a gov ernment office The letter carrier had an aged mother to support, and it was his intention to save a sufficient sum of money to enable him to marry and keep those dependent upon him in con,- fort as well. Yielding to the persuasions of his lady love he went to the post master and recommended the young lady for a clerkship. In due course of time the girl passed the Civil Service examination and was appointed to a place at the general delivery window. She wasn't in the place long before she conceived an exaggerated idea of her own import ance, and when the carrier through whose instrumentality she had been appointed came to the window for chat, he was coldly received. Things went from bad to worse and after month or so she gave the mitten to the carrier. He took his dismissal with very bad grace, and vowed to get even.
 A month elapsed One day the girl appeared in the office of the postmas- ter.

OPENING OF PARLIAMENT
[Continued from First Page.)

{Continued from First Pase)
 "1oundering between concssio and coercion" and the adoption of the most | liberal programme toward Ireland. | The house of lords was well filled when business was resumed. The Prince of Wales occupied the seat for berly used by his father Many peer esses were in tn gallery.
 The lord chancellor Earl Halsbury, formally read the kings speech. The Earl of Harrowby, conservative. in moving the address in reply to the speech from the throne, referred to the interference of foreign powers in the South African war as being evil dence of their friendly relations.
 The Earl of Litton, who seconded the motion, congratulated the government lon their more than friendly relations with the United States and the South American republics. ," He added that although affairs in Ireland were con- sidered critical they might safely be left in the hands of the government.
 Sir William Vernon Harcourt dib- crab, by attacking the institution of martial law in the Cape Colony and by accusing the government of grossly un- constitutional conduct in advising the ministers of the Cape Colony not to summon the Cape parliament, brought up MT. Chamberlain, the colonial sec retary. who was in a most militant mood. MT. Chamberlain declared that Sir William Vernon -Harcourt ought to have placed a question of such vast inn portance in the form of an amendment and proceeded to justify absolutely the action of the Cape government. MT. Chamberlain said he did not care scrap for legal opinions on one side or the other that the government had to deal with an emergency and that it had followed the universal practice of all countries. He also said the government of the Cape Colony would ask parlia- ment to indemnify their acts.
 Sir William Vernon Harcourt asked: 'When will that be done?" MT. Cham berlain retorted: When is the war going to end?" Daughter, cheers) John Redmond Chairman of Irish Parlia mentary party): By the next general election" In the course of his speech, MT Chamberlain was protesting against the suggestion that he should ONeIfule the prlNy COuHCll, WHeH MI, Redmond interjected Hear! Hear You ought to be king" Amid laugh ter, MT. Chamberlain replied: That is very good of the honorable gentleman, but that is not my ambition
 The house of commons then ad- journed.
 The Nationalists believe that Colonel Arthur Lynch will attempt to take his seat in the house of commons if he can evade arrest until he reaches Westmin- ster.
 Among the interesting questions dur ing the early days of parliament there will be several about the Chamberlain Von Buelow quarrel and John Morley will ask whether any evidence can be adduced that the British government refused to take part in any suggested combination of the European powers with respect to the war between the United States and Spain. This question will be the out of the recent ru- mors to the effect that it was Russia which prevented European intervention in this war

 Something must be dead under the floor said the postmaster, after due deliberation, and he ordered the boards removed and the space beneath search ed. It was done and nothing found. | Then the chief decided that an army of rats must have fought decisive action behind the partition walls, and he ordered the carpenters to remove the wainscoting and hunt for the victims. But the search revealed no sign of a fray among the rodents, and al the time the smell grew worse. In despair the postmaster sent for plumber, who pro- nounced. the sanitary condition of the pipes and drains to be excellent.
 The smell continued to grow in force, volume and effect, however, and the fair clerk applied for weeks leave, which was granted. A man was select ed to temporarily fill her place, and he appeared for duty equipped with nose guard and several bottles Of perfum- cry. After day in the stuffy office, however, he, too, protested against the inhuman cruelty of a. chief who would ask a man to work in an atmosphere which he described at great length in exceedingly picturesque language, ana a further search to determine the cause of the trouble was determined upon While the laborers were moving the case of pigeonholes which contained the mail it was knocked over and the con- tents scattered all over the floor.
 What are all these funny looking lit- tie boxes?" asked the postmaster, who was directing the work of the laborers in person. He stopped and picked up one, then dropped it with an exclama- tion of disgust and rushed to the win dow Bundle these things up," he said, we've found the smell; and put them in the cellar. If anybody calls for them have him arrested for abett ting a nuisance"
 When the boxes were examined they were found to be tWenty-stX In number and addressed to fictitious names, be- ginning with every letter of the alpha bet, from "A'' to "Z," all were general delivery, and each cont ming a little square of limburger cheese.
 Inspectors were detailed on the case who after much trouble and with the aid of handwriting expert ran to earth as the sender of the boxes the letter carrier who had been tilted by the general delivery girl. He frankly con- fessed to the intention of making his one time fiancee desert her post and lose favor with her hief, besides sub- jecting her to worry and annoyance And after he told his tale he said to the inspectors: What are you going to do about it?"
 The inspectors found that they could not do anything, for there is no provis- ion of the postal regula tions which pro- hibits the sending of cheese. llmburger or otherwise, through the mails The letter carrier was, of course fired flor cause" But he seemed to expect that and moved to another town.-Indianap- oils Sentinel.

STAGE COACH DAYS IN WEST.

Great Cost of Travelling at the Rate of
 Four and One-half Miles an Hour.
 The stage line between Atchison and Placerville, Cal, which ran daily coach es for about five years in 16O- '65 was the finest ever known in the stage coach business. In equipment no similar line could equal it. It was the greatest stage line on the globe carrying pas sengers, mail and express.
 In 1S64-'65 it cost more for meals be- tween Atchison and Denver than the railroad fare now costs, with meals added. The run from Atchison to Den- yer is now made in something like fif- teen hours, as against six days in the stage coach days. At one time fare from Atchison to Denver was $175; the railroad fare at present is $l5. The quickest time ever made by stage be- tween Atchison and Denver was four and a half days Ben Holladay, owner of the line, travelled by special coaches from Placerville, Cal. to Atchison, two thousand miles, in twelve days and two hours beating the regular schedule i've days. This feat cost Holladay $20,000, but it was d great advertisement Tor his line. The stages, when crowded, car ried fifteen persons, besides great quan- titles of mail and express.
 One of the coaches used on the Atchi- son. PIacerville line is now in the Smith, sonian Institution at Washington. Af- ter leaving Atchison it was operated on the Deadwood line and was several times captured by Indians and out laws. Once when captured by outlaws it carried $60,000 in gold In this at tack three guards were killed. Buff falo Bill'' heard that the old coach had been abandoned and went after it, us- ing itfor years in his Wild West show
