IN M'KINLEY'S MEMORY.

Brief Services in the Public Schools
 Yesterday Afternoon.
 The birthday of the late (President) Mckinley was observed in the public schools of the city yesterday in fitting manner. The exercises consisted of short talks by the teachers on the life of the late president and reading his last public adress, delivered at the Worlds Fair grounds, at Buffalo, short ly before he was shot. This speech was read to the pupils in the advanced graes only. In the lower grades the teachers told the pupils about the life of President Mckinley and the boys and girls seemed to be greatly interest ed.
 The suggestion that a display of car nations be made in the public schools could not be acted upon by the teachers, and Superintendent Beede said nothing about it in his directions to principals for the observation of the day

PROFESSOR NIEMEYER's LEG
At the Paint and Clay Clubs Exhibi-
 ton,

At the Paint and Clay Clubs Exhibi- ton.
 Surrounded by the one hundred and fifty or more pictures which represent the third annual exhibition of the New Haven Paint and Clay club Professor John H. Niemeyer will deliver his il- lustrated lecture on "Velasquez: His Influence on Modern Art" Saturday evening, in the gallery at 793 Chapel street. The lecture will be followed by an informal reception which will be in the nature of 6 private view of the exhibition. Since the hanging of the paintings the gallery has been trans formed from a rather barn-like apart ment nito something decidedly rich and handsome. Very few decorations, part from the pictures, have been nec- essary to cause this change. The many portraits, landscapes and still life subjects in oil, water color and pastel, form d brilliant wall decora- tion. This is the first impression, but later, when @ more detailed study is given to the exhibition, it will be seen that there is steady advance in the quality of this annual showing of our local art club, and that New Haven may we'll feel proud of 1t as home institution. The exhibition will open to the public on Monday, February 2, and remain for three weeks.

The Conductor and Motorman are Held
 Blameless.
 Coroner Mix made public his finding yesterday in the death of George B. Carpenter, the driver of the Orange street stage line, whose death occurred Tuesday night as a result of injuries re- ceived in collision last Saturday even- ing. The accident occurred at the cor- ner of Orange and Elm streets. He finds that the death of the driver was not due to the criminal act or careless ness of any one
 The coroner states that the accident occurred at about 6:55 p. n. A vesti- bule car, No. 1S4, of the Fair Haven and westvil!e road. was going Up Elm street at the time. The motorman, Ma than Simon, says he followed the usual custom of shutting off power and sounding the gong just before Orange street was reached. He did everything possible to avert collision with the stage, which was on it's way to the cor ner of Chapel and Church streets.
 The car struck the hub of the rear wheel on the left side and threw it to one side. The stage did not capsize. The car was well lighted and was equipped with air brakes. In view of the testimony given by six witnesses who appeared before the coroner, he is unable to find any one criminally re- sponsible for the drivers death.

CALVARY HOME.
Anniversary Fittingly Celebrated at
 CaIvarv Rantisf Church

A1niVerSary t1TtIngly CeIebTated at Calvary Baptist Church.
 At Calvary Baptist church Wednes- day evening the ninth anniversary of the founding of the Calvary Industrial home was pleasingly celebrated with a programme of speeches and musical selections.
 Dr. Frank Woods Baker Of Trinity church presided. The address of well come was given by President W. H. Dougless. Superintendent P. c. But terfield gave a short address.
 In the interims the Temple quartette sang some very pleasing and much ap- preciated selections.
 The principal address of the evening was that given by the Rev. Edwin NJ. Poteat of Philadelphia, Pa, who was formerly the pastor of the Calvary Baptist church. In the course of his speech he gave a brief outline of the founding and subsequent growth and prosperity of the home.
 The receipts for the home during the last year amount to $19,000. Perhaps as vivid an example as any of the work the home does is eXemplified in the case of man of the class of 'S6 Yale, who went west and squandered a fortune of $20,O00 and became an al- most hopeless drunkard. He was help ed by the home and to-day is a pros porous business man in one of the large cities. The home was starte6A through the infectious enthusiasm of young man named Richard Mansfield. He agitated the matter till it was taken up by the church. The present suc- cessful establishment stands as the monument of the practical philanthropy which impelled the movement, and practical philanthropy is a more or less scarce commodity nowadays.
 A thank offering was taken and $l00 was received in cash and pledges.
 About six hundred people were pres ent at the celebration. It was the most successful celebration ever held of it's kind.
