A CLUB FOR LONDON MEN SER
 WANTS.

WANTS.
 It will be a sincere pleasure if, as the result of visit of inspection paid to "tlle Home Club" consisting of several houses of which No. 37 Upper Berkeley street is the center, can so describe the things seen and heard there as to lend a helping hand to the excellent project started by Lady Hope rather more than two years ago; for certainly 1t is the embodiment of scheme, al
 ready working very well, which is ca pablo of almost indefinite extension. It combines the purposes of an adequate club for London men servants, indoor and outdoor, in work and out of work, with those of really trustworthy ser wants registry. It contains reading, writing, dining and recreation rooms, including billiard roons coffee bars, unexceptionable sanitary accommoda- ton, bathrooms, sleeping rooms for six ty persons, some in cubicles, some in dornaitories. Membership costs ten shil1ings a year, or six shillings half year, so that the members have feel ing of independence, and beds cost from three shillings sixpence per week. Having inspected the whole of the buildings, from basements to garrets, with scrupulous care, am able to say that the accommodation provided is very good, that the cleanliness of every part of the establishment is remarkd- ble, and that it is very highly appreci- ated by those whom it was founded te assist But, of course, the annual sub scrjDtior1s Of some four hundred n1eu- bers barely cover the working expenses from year to year, and there has been a large capital expenditure in refitting the houses and making them suitable to the purposes of a club, which has been met by Lady Hope. In these circum- stances her appeal for help, which is backed by the support of the Duke of Grafton, viscount Portmar, and others, ought to be successful if the institution itself is good one. ztt
 On this point there is really no room for doubt. Men servants in London,

ALL FAVOR ANNEXATION.
(Continued from First Page.)

Goes not want us, it is certain we do not want West Haven. The borough ought to think of us otherwise than as
 a higwayman trying to add to his
 booty. I hove that it is be the sense of
 the New Haven Chamber of Commerce
 that it is desirable that the borough of
 West Haven and the city of New Ha- ven become consolidated"
 This motion was unanimously carried
 The secretary then read a letter from
 James Gardner Clark of West Haven, lin which MT. Clark expressed himself
 as in favor of annexation. He said he
 was unable to attend the meeting ow- ing to ill health, but he stated his view of the situation forcibly. Among other things he said:
 'The annexation of the borough of West Haven (rather than the town of Orange) is, I believe, proposition which comments itself to a very large majority of the voters of the town of Orange. Geographically it is the only thing to do. The territory between the Derby railroad on the north, Long Isl and Sound on the south, the West river on the east, and Cove river on the west is filled with people whose business re- llations are entirely in New Haven. The town, outside these boundaries, is as truly rural as is the town of Wolcott or North Madison. There is nothing ir common except the right to vote. Ev' cry interest of the hill population is ad. verse and hostile to the interest of the borough. It is a part of the gospel ir which the hill people have been steepe6 since they were born.
 "The town has never shown the abil. | ity or the desire to manage the towr finances in any but a shiftless, wreck. less, illegal way. The management oi

 A keen rivalry exists between the two schools and for four years they nave uone annual battle. Yesterdays game haue two victories for the High school team and the loss of the city championship for the Starke boys, who last year plleu up a big score on their rivals.
 The scene at the Oak Park gridiron yes terday was novel, A hundred or more schoolboys arrayed in the colors Of their respective institutions crowded the slde lines and yelled for their respectiVe champions. Nearly as many schooI sirls were present, radiant in smiles ana gay ribbons. It was the society event or young Montgomery.
 The game was all the spectators eX- pected. To say that it equalleo the DIE college battles is a fallacy, put u IS not far from the truth to say that the yonnpstrrs did battle pluckily. fercely and showed considerable skill in the great fall game. ,.<.oo

 Bay Mirette. Nov. 14-(Speclal.)-Torl Plant, the negro who was sentenced to be hanged December Il. made a bold cffort to commit suicide yesterday,
 Two other negroes in jail with him were sent to the Hand Lumber Company camp at Dolive, and by one of them Plant sent a letter to Gilbert Allen, a one armed negro convict there. Plant told Allen to buy him or procure for him in some way two sacks of smoking to- bacco. and a quantity of morphine. The morphine was to be put in the bottom of one of the sacks of tobacco and sent to Plant. The negro who carried the letter made a mistake and gave 1t to the war den who sent it to the sheriff at once.
 Sheriff Armstrong went immediately to the jail and made a thorough search, even taking all matches and tobacco out of the cells. The condemned negro denied hav- ing written any letter for morphine until the letter was shown him. He claimed that he only wanted to eat little at a

ADELINA PATTI.

A Montgomerian visiting New York has the following to say of Patti:
 "Adelina Patti came forth a beautiful vision in pink, from where I sat. Even with aid of fine opera glasses, she did not look more than 35 years old. When remembered she was 6S, said what a wonderful age to thus stop the ravages of time. Let the music critics say what they may against this divine song bird. 'tIs not true. Her voice is still the sweet est in existence. Carnegie Music Hall is crowded every eve to hear her, and the tickets range from $2 to SIP. The applause and ovation she receives is abundant and of the ''hero worship" order. From the moment that marvellous voice is heard untIl 1t ceases. perfect silence reigns in that immense crowd. Kiss Waltz, |" Hast Rose of Summer" Home, Sweet Home," Farewell" were her songs this evening.
