M. C.. A, tennis court. It Is expected the property will pass into the possession of the hotel company about May l.
 The Henry Scovill property was pre- ferred to the site of the old Scovill house owing to several reasons. The old Scoyill house site has less area than the Henry Scovill property and has only frontage of sixty-two feet. The surrounding buildings would inter- fere with the views from the windows of the hotel
 Plans for the new building will be immediately called for. The building, which will be 1O0x14O feet. will be six stories in height and will be fireproof. It will contain 160 rooms, which is equal to the capacity of the foymer Scoyill and Franklin houses.

Among the several applications to be lessees of the hotel is said to be Charles M. Truman l formerly manager of the Scovill house.

FEWER STAMPS MAY BE LICKED.

It pro- vides that hereafter postoffices shall accept for transmission in the mails quantities of not less than 2,000 iden- tical pieces of third and fourth class matter without postage stamps affixed. provided that the postage is fully pre- paid. This action was recomnended' strongly by Third Assistant Postmas- ter General Madden in the interest of economy to the government and the business public Under it's provisions this proposed legislation will save the expense of manufacturing stamps, the sale of them to the public and the sub seouent labor of canceling the stamps on the individual pieces in the post offices after they are mailed. 1t will also save the public the work of at- taching postage stamps to the individ- ual pieces of mail

 Police Physician Poore informed the board that he shall be absent from the city for some time and in his place Dr Moriarty was appointed.
 William H. McCristle asked pernais- sion to withdraw his application for appointment to the fire department so that he could file one for appointment on the supernumerary police force. It was decided that the filing of one did not interfere with his filing the other. For some time tkc board has been doubtful as to whose duty dt is to see that places of public amusement are always in a safe condition with ade- quate exits and other safeguards. Some thought it was the duty of the 1 fire chief: others that it was the duty of the building inspector. Last even- l ing n communication was received 1 from City Attorney Kellogg informing the board that it was the duty of the inspector of buildings.
 The pay rolls and bills were ap- proved. after which the board ad- l journed. 1t was thought. thSt some action would be taken regarding the appointment of additional supernunl- erary police or additional permanent firemen, but in either direction noth- ing was done

MONEY IN cINDERs.
How a Providence Firm Made Profit
 This Winter.

4$TSfa II HIS W luLGI.
 Hartford. Feb 1S.--The scarcity of coal this winter and the high price has taught many housekeepefs lessons iu economy and. as rule, ash barrels have contained a much less proportion of cinders than usual There has been an increased demand for ash sifters and many persons have taken early morning exercise on the ash barrel with profit Another feature is that many people have learned that wood can be used to advantage very often in furnaces when the weather is not very cold, and that has resulted in economy in that respect.
 But Providence firm has made money in a peculiar way this winter. Providence people have not the advan. tage Hartford taxpayers enjoy in hay. ing their ashes and garbage removed by the city, and consequently when Providence man wants his ashes re moved he has to hire an expressman to dispose of them. A year or two ago an enterprising firm in Providence nj on the scheme of making contracts with residents to remove their ashes The firm furnished galvanized iron ash bar rels at a reasonable price and then re- moved the ashes at convenient inter- vals. That proved paying business and large number of teams were soon employed But this winter the firm saw the opportunity to make money by utilizing the ashes and hired a large number of Italians to sift them. The result was an immense quantity of good cinders. which the firm had no difficulty in selling for 30 cents 2 bar rel. The firm is getting rich rapidly and has already made a pot of money.
