 The meeting opened at 10 o'clock in the
 The emeting opened at 10 o'clock in the
 rooms of the order 139 Orange street. 1 One hundred and fifty delegates from l the eighty lodges of the state were
 present, and the meeting was most l successful one. The principal busi-
 ness was the election of the grand
 officers, which resulted as follows:
 Grand wardfben. Jonathan w. Chapin
 of New Haven; grand vice warden, | Joseph J. Wooster of New Haven; grand secretary F. D. Grinnell of New 1 Haven; grand treasurer, F. M. Drew of I Ansonia; grand chaplain, Mrs. w. M.

Beach of Seymour, and c. L. Hart of Winsted. The grand officers were installed by Grand Warden New hall of the Massa chusetts district.
 A large number of prominent mem bers of the order were present, among them being the supreme officers as fol- lows: Supreme Warden J. w. Flint of Boston, Supreme Secretary D. M. Frey of Summerville Mass; Supreme Treas urer John P. Sanborn of Newport, Su- preme Guide Frank Rice of Cambridge, Mass. Supreme Guardian Mrs. Jennie B. Weeks of Providence, and Supreme Sentinel Seth w. Langley of New Ha- ven.
 The following were also DrHH6nt. Grand Warden Robert w. LyddellA of the Rhode Island district, Grand War den G. s. Newhall of the Rhode Island district.
 The morning session adjourned at noon and dinner was served in the par lors of the Church of the Messiah. At o'clock they again convened and the afternoon session lasted until o'clock. One of the most important discussions of the afternoon was the question of the meeting place of the grand lodge. It has always been the custom to have the grand lodge meet in either New Haven or Hartford, but this year Bridgeport made a strenuous kick to have 1t come to the Park City every third year. The Bridgeport delegates were on hand and made good argument for their city, but on a vote was defeated Several matters of importance to the members of the order came up for discussion, and after the meeting the members said that it was a very encouraging one, showing the prosperity of the order to marked degree.
 There are thirteen lodges of the or der in New Haven and over $500 mem s bers here.

WILLIAM H. FOWLER.

William Fl Fowler, who died at his home, 422 Dixwell avenue Tuesday morning, was one of the most interest," ing characters in that section of the city. He was quite a. wealthy man and owned a great deal of property on Dixwell avenue in the vicinity of his home. He died after a brief illness, death being due principally to old age, He was eiehty-two years and ten months old at the time of his death He became widely known throughout New England in the spring of 1898 when the war with Spain broke out He said he was too old to 20 to war and fight his country's battles, but he showed his patriotism by painting all the elm and other trees on his prop erty red white and blue He painted the national colors around the lower parts of the trees and the paint hos never disappeared On some of the trees the stripes made by the late MT. Fowler are as plain as the day they were painted on Most of the trees thus decorated stand near the curb stone in front of property owned bv the deceased patriot The trees extend for several blocks He received considera- blp notice in the press of the country at the time The funeral will be held this afternoon at o'clock f om his late resi- dence. The interment will be in Ever green cemetery He leaves a large number of relatives in New Haven and elsewhere The late James F. English, formerly governor of Connecticut, was his brother-in-law.

A MOTHERS THOUGHT.

The day is surely coming, and coming yer,
 last, When broken dolls and ragged books wi'l b,
 items of the past; And thought this very morning, as l tidiei
 up the hall, That 1 really should be sorry when these
 things are not at all. There are banging doors and windows, and naughty little walls; lnere are bumps and scratches many, and poor cats with twisted tails; There are tears of pain and passion, and they burst out fierce and quick, But it's never good method to subdue them with stick. Oh, the tender, wilful little hearts that throb in many homes, That believe in elves and fairies and in dragons and ill gnomes, That look forward to the wonder-days when all the books are through, When they'll turn their backs on childhood and can do as big folks do." Oh, the pathos of their longngs, oh, the sadness of the truth Which will come to these dear baby hearts when parted from their youth. We have trod ill all their footsteps, we have tasted hope and grief, Shall we hesitate one moment in plan for their relief? Let us lead them gently, firmly, through the blissful days of youth; Let US show them it is possible that Love shall dwell with Truth; Let us reyel in their innocence, forgive them when they fail, As We shall beg Our Father" to when our lifeboat furls its sail.

YOUNG MAN SEEKS DIVORCE.

| Married hardly year ago, James A. l.. Garfield, who at that time was | student at Taft's school in Watertown, yesterday appeared before Judge Will
 liam s. Case of the superior court to
 ask for a divorce from his schoolgirl
 wife, Mabel Jeanette Garfield. who is
 not yet of age. Young MT Garfield ap peared in court through his guardian,
 Charles A. White, by whom the suit ! was brought to court in June, 1901, scarcely two months after the wedding vows.
 | Mir Garfield, whose home is now in 1 Utica, and whose family owns the Gar l field block in Chapel street, first met
 the girl March 3t, at a time he had room at 69 Church street, this city, where he spent his vacation days. They | were married April 22, and the ground for the divorce, infdelity, was charged to the wife in May of last year. It was agreed according to the bridegroom that the wedding should be kept se- cret from his family until he became of age in October of last year But the divorce proceedings were begun in June.
 In her answer to the complaint, Mrs. Garfield denied the ground of the ap- plication, and moreover charged that her husband forced her to submit to criminal operation. She further de- clared that her husband forced her to earn 1925 to redeem a diamond ring, which he had put in pawnshop.
 The hearing on the divorce came up at ? o'clock yesterday afternoon. AL ling, Webb and Morehouse, with E. P. Arvine, appeared for MT Garfield, and Stoddard and Goodhart for Mrs. Gar field.
 Judge Case took the papers and re- served the decision

OBfTUIRY NOTES.
Death of Colonel Frank 1T. Lea-One of
 New Haven's Best Known Men.

Colonel Frank T. Lee died at the Nav Haven hospital at o'clock yesterday morning of a complication of nervous troubles, aged forty-seven years. He had been an inmate of the hospital since Saturday, when he was suffering acutely with nervous prostration The news of his death came as a sloak to hundreds of business and military men who in years gone by were associated with him in business and socially While his Friends knew he was sick man. they did not realize that hts con dition was alarming.
 The colonel had not been in good health for several months and had suf- fered much both mentally and physic- ally. For some time his condition has been pitiful and last Friday he was in duced to go to the New Haven hospital. where almost immediately he lost pow CT of speech and seemed not to realize much that was transpiring about him. The family physician, pr, Ayres, was summoned from Madison, and after seeing the patient Tuesday gave it as his opinion that death was not far away. When he arrived at the hospi- tai yesterday the colonel was dead. Miss Elizabeth B. Lee, the sister who had been sent for, started for New Ha- ven on the first train, but could not ar- rive until after his death. The aged mother eighty-five years old is crushed by her great sorrow and it is feared that she will not long survive.
 Colonel Lee obtained the title of col onel by serving as lieutenant colonel of the Second regiment, and vas prob ably one of the best known military men in the state for, although not

BIRTH AND DEATH OF STARS.

1 The Great Bodies of the Universe DC
 Not Radiate Their Light Forever.
 Although, to superficial observation
 it might seem that the great bodies of
 the universe could radiate their light
 forever, the modern generalization of
 physics show. that such cannot be the
 case. The radiation of light necessari- 1 ly involves a corresponding loss of
 heat and with it the expenditure of some form of energy The possibility of such a restoration completely tram scends our science, How can the little vibration which strikes our eye from some distant star, and which has been perhaps thousands of years in reaching us, find it's way back to it's origin? The light emitted by the sun ten thousand years ago is to-day pursuing its way in sphere whose surface is ten thousand light-years distant on all sides Sci ence has nothing even to suggest the possibility of it's restoration, and the most delicate observations fail to show any return from the unfathomable abyss.
 It can be said, with the confidence of demonstration, that the energy genera ted by the suns contraction could not have kept nup it's present supply of heat for much more than twenty or thirty million years.
 It will suffice to say, in a general way. that the study of earth and ocean Af oti of of causes which must have been going on for hundreds of millions quite prob ably thousands of millions, of years
 Moreover, the commencement of the geological operations of which we speak is by no means the commence ment of the earth's existence. The the ories of both parties agree that, for un- told aeons before the geological changes now visible commenced, our planet was molten mass, perhaps even an incan- descent globe like the sun. During all those aeons the sun must have been in existence as vast nebulous mass, first reaching as far as the earth's orbit, and slowly contracting it's dimensions And these aeons are to be included in the physicists estimate of twenty or thirty million years.
 Granting the evolution hypothesis, every star has it's lifetime. We can even lay down the law by which it pass es from infancy to old age. All stars do not have the same length of life; the rule is that the larger the star, or the greater the mass of matter which com poses it, the longer will it endure But no cautious thinker can treat such subject with the ease of ordinary de- How can he essay to de- scribe what may have been going on hundreds of millions of years in the past? Can he dare say that nature was the same then as now? Who knows but that the radiant property that Bee querel has found in certain forms of matter may be residuum of some original form of energy which Is inner ent in great cosmical masses, and has fed our sun during all the ages re- quired by the geologist for the struc- ture of the earth's crusts?-Simon New comb in the International Monthly

A TOAST TO THE BACHELOR.

Not the trntoastworthy, but He Who Is Willing to Help Others.
 A toast is offered to the bachelor Not to every bachelor, of course. Not all are trustworthy. There are plenty who ought to have married. but were too timid, distrustful, lazy, self-in- dulgent or incompetent There are those who were dazzled in their youth by the spangles and gewgaws of life and stretched out for them hands too eager to detect the worthlessness of what they got There are those who are unfit to marry Toast them in moderation because they didn't pro- vided they will give bonds to remain single There are those who broke hearts, partly from faithlessness, part ly from overmuch calculation, partly from mere lack of grit. No, we may not toast all bachelors. So much the more toast those whom we may! Main tainers of the unmaintained. bearers of burdens dropped by other men, pro viders for the unprovided for, succorers of the distressed, defenders of the fatherless, buwarks of the widow Oh what good, an indispensable man
 
 ger living than he needs, and is al- ways ready to share his surplus; who counsels his nepheWs and fortifes them with timely remittances; who sur prises his neces with gowns and opportune hats; who has no serious troubles of his own, and Is ready al ways to shoulder such troubles as others bring to him. The trouble with Benedict is that his hostages are given. There are claims upon his heart, his time. his income. He must consider obligations and properties. He is mortgaged man, though he may be ever so good a one. There is no use of spending much affection on Benedict, Tor ne can get 1t at home, and he can't repay a large investment in kind, without incurring domestic hazards. But a good bachelor, what a great property he is, and how inestimably valuable to those who own him It is a great calling to be good bachelor, and about one bachelor In 100 makes a fairly satisfactory demonstration that it is his.-Harper's Weekly.

AT THE MAY FESTIVAL.

Tn a late issue of the Concert Goer for the week is an item concerning very interesting piano recital, given by Mrs. H. H. A. Beach, of Boston, Mass, i'll Brooklyn, N. Y, Tuesday. the 18th. As she is to be here at the May Musical Festival 1t will perhaps be interesting, to many who anticipate her coming. It says: '"The programme was not only well arranged but unhackneyed, includ- ing an interesting Capriccio by Brahms; a Ballade by Mrs. Beach; a transcription of the Serenade by Mrs. Beach which she played for the first time and in the Chopin group she gave us an Etude, a Valse, Mazurka and Scherzo in c minor, no one of them played too often. Mrs. Beach seems to recognize her own limitations and plays with intelligence and faculty, not at- tempting the broadly masculine or tre- mendous."

YALE BEAT WILLIAMS.
SCORE OF THE GAME YESTERDAY
 WAS0 T0a IN THEIR FAVOR.
Yale Team stiIi Weak at tho Bnt-Fresh- - men on the Team Showed Up Well, HazenwInkIe, Especially, Playing a Fine Game-George Brnstow of New Haven on tho Wiliia ms Team.

--
 Yale defeated Williams at baseball yesterday afternoon at the Yale field by the score of 9 to 9 The day was a most disagreeable one for the five hum dred spectators, rain falling almost dur ing the entire game. Considering the fact that the Williams team has lost the services of it's captain and two of it's best players, and that it was the first game of the Massachusetts college men, their showing was fairly good, They outbatted the Yale men nearly two to one, but in their fielding they were unfortunate, all of their errors be- ing costly. Terrell had the Yale men guessing up to the sixth inning, only state of the game. During the last three innings Yale made four of her five sim gles. The batting of the local men was reminder of their work with the stick last year.
 The three freshmen on the Yale team Cote, Hazenwinkle and Miller, played better ball than the veterans in all de- partments of the game. Captain Guern- sey made beautiful stop in the second inning and later threw the man out, but in the seventh inning dropped a pop fly from Terrells bat. Hazenwinkle and Miller played fine fielding games and the former made two of the five hits for his team deSaulles, Cote and Wear fielded well, but they could not hit.
 For Williams, George Brastow, the son of Professor Brastow of this city played snappy game at short stop, as did Watson at second base and McCar- thy behind the bat.
 Yale punched runs and hits in the sixth and seventh innings and made good their lead of one run that they held up to the sixth inning.
 Brastow scored in the first inning for Williams on an attempted trick by Winslow and safe one by Burrell. They scored again in the fourth on sin gles by Morgan and Mccarthy From then on they were blanked. The fol- lowing is the score:
