 Some time ago, when the plan of holding an old home week celebration was abandoned the committee in charge suggested that the business men and mercnants of the city should set apart B day each year on which the money accruing from certain per- centage of the sales should be donated to the Waterbury hospital. The Reid & Hughes Dry Goods Go thought this capital idea and so they have made arrangements for a big sale on next Wednesday, which will be Hospital day" The money from certain per- centage of the sales on that day will be donated to the hospital an institu- ton worthy of the public's support The store will be opened until noon on
 Thanksgiving day, and that will be 'hospital day" also.

FOR MARY MGLYNN.
Many Subscriptions Come Unsolicited
 for Her Thanksg1Ying

Many Subscriptions Come Unsolicited
 for Her Thanksgiving,
 New Haven, Nov 24.-Mary. Nc Glynn, the little old woman who sits day by day on the central green, earn ing livelihood by knitting seems to have found warm place in the hearts of many New Hayeners, for each day Is bringing additional subscriptions for her Thanksgiving. This year, as was also the case year ago, there was no appeal made for her; the com tributfons- have come unsolicited ,ex- cept as suggested by newspaper core spondents.
 Mrs McGlynn, it must be remem- bered, accepts these gifts with the feeling that they are made purely in a spirit of friendliness, and not at all as an object of charity. For she is firm believer in work, work, work.
 Mrs McGlynn seldom if ever reads the papers. deyoting all of her time by daylight to her knitting ,and there fore knows nothing of the efforts of the kindly disposed toward securing suitable Thanksgiving dinner. Her nefghhors contribute their share by re training from telling her of the grow ing fund. so that genuine surprise all the more acceptable occurs on ThankggiYing day.

BOARD OF FINANCE
Figures Appropriated for the Year of
 1QAA

At the meeting of the board of fl- nance last night the assessors submit ted g report showing the taxes on the ratable property in Waterbury on the list of 1902 as follows:
 City ................... 30.Sl1, ,So0.0O Outside city limits .....~ 2,4O0, ,ZoO.OO Town ,ASo,oVV.OV
 Total ..............$ $46, ,4O0, ,0O0.00
 The report was received and order ed on file. At the suggestion of City Attorney Kellogg the appropriation for the city court was made charge able to the first taxation district. Town Clerk Brett reported that fig ures received from other towns show that the cost of indexing records rang es from $50 to $1O0 per volume. It was voted to increase the amount recommended for this purpose from $1, 200 to $1, 800.
 A communication was received from the department of education asking that $6O,000 be appropriated for new school house on Elm street. It was ordered on file.
 MT Goss introduced the matter of fire protection in the northwestern part of the town and moved that the sum of $1T,OOO be appropriated for new fire house in that district. Things look favorable for the new house, but the board decided to let the matter stand until the next meeting.
 Transfers were recommended as follows From item of state roads to item of election expenses, first taxa ton district. $1,2Oo; from item of pub. { lie lands and buildings to item of law expenses, first taxation district, S40O from Interest" to account of assess or, $7OO; from state roads to election expenses S1,20O.
 The department of public works was invited to be present and say word or two about the needs of the department. They were on hand, but nobody asked if they had anything to say and after hanging around for a couple of hours they quietly stole away. It was refreshing to see how all the recommendations went through Heretofore every item was challenged by the republicans and a star chamber kick rendered on behalf of the taxpayers. It was quite differ ent this time. so you see it does make some difference who holds the reins. Were it not for the fact that we are having change of administration next year the biggest howl ever heard would now be on on account of the size of the recommendations, but be- cause this is so the republicans are mum and the democrats don't know where they are. The money is needed and ought to be raised, but the condi- tions were exactly the same last year and for some time prior to that date, and yet the men at the helm could not come within gunshot of getting ! what they wanted.
 It was decided to recommend to the aldermen that appropriations for 1904
 be made as follows:

ENeLAND's LEADING ORATORS.

Lord Rosebery is voted the finest Or
ator in a political sense that England
has today. but his influence in moving
audiences Is in power as water unto
win when compared with the eloquence
of Gladstone or Bright. Mr.. Cham
berlain Is a debater rather than an or
ator, and Mr.. Balfour makes no plat
form efforts, On the Radical side Of
politics Mr.. Morleys voice is certainly
the richest In tone, but he is too keenly
intellectual in his utterances to rank
high in platform favor. Sir Henry
Campbell Zimmerman is in speech q
Tlain. blunt man, and nothing more;
Mr.. Asquith is keen and cold: and Sir
William Harcourts fame in his best
days only rested on his dialectic skill.
In an oratorical sense there are two
speakers-one dead, the other still liv-
ing, but little heard of-whose plat
form utterances specially haunt the
memory. One is the late Duke of Ar
cyl. He was a born orator. imbued
with the native fire of the Celt, and a
picturesqueness OF diction altogether
delightful to the ear. The other is
Lord Ashbourne, whose voice. in ear
lIer days, had in 1t the sweet melli-
fiuousness of silver bell.

ATE cAMEL's FLESH AND GRASS.

Major A. G. G. Sharp. commanding
the Somali levies. has arrived at Ber-
hera after hard service OF two years
duration at the front. the Somali
levies were not alone in suffering phi
yations during Colonel Swayne's recent
marches. Great hardships we're also
endured by the officers, recalling, in
deed, those Of the sieges of Ladvsmith
and Mafeking. Various expedient3
were adopted to meet the difficulties
arising from the shortness OF supplies.
A scale of exchange was established. A
spoonful of tea equalled three cigar
cites; Ave cigarettes procured the loan
of razor or scissors for hair-cutting;
for half tin OF peaches a basin OF oat-
meal could be had, and pinch OF salt
was a fair exchange for a lump of
sugar. Officers and men alike sub
sisted on a diet Of camel's flesh varied
with edible grasses. Scurvy was MOI
uncommon. and parasites infected the
camps.

|. l.. Richards, who owns large api.

out something new in bee psychology,
and, incidentally. his discovery may
explain the old custom OF telling the

old time that the bees would not fy

custom was observed. Mr.. Richards,
however, think that the insacts have
a peculiar antipathy to black, and the
way in which he came to that conclu.
sion was this. He is a chicken fancier
as we'll as bee keeper. and recently
bought handsome black Chinese cock
which he set free in the chicken yard.
Half an hour later he found that the

Suppose the way with fragrant herbs

And no suppose the priest had Joined
