are to be played this winter.
On the second floor the main offices of the
association deliberately decorated and finished
in oak From the main room open the library,
reading rooms and parlors, all finished IN the
same artistic style as the offices. In the rear on
this floor is the Foy Auditorium, seating seven

taurant and roof garden The restaurant mas
already proved a great success, and is attracting
a large patronage from members, visitors 10
the city and shopping parties. From the roof
garden the whole of New-Haven anc its suburbs
are spread to view, and from this spot can be
gained the most comprehensive view of the city
afforded by any high building in town.
Just back of the association building is be-
ing finished the new Edwin Bancroft Foote
Boys Club, the gift of Edwin B. Foote, of New
York City. A tunnel connects the Boys Club
with the association building. The FOOte Boys
Club will be one Of the most interesting depart
ments Of the associations work. 1t is being
fitted up in the old polo rink, in the rear of
the former Graduates Club, in Chapel-st., and
will be a model of its kind. There Will be class
rooms, game rooms and large hall given over
to athletics for the youngsters 1t was Mi
Foote's idea to set this clubhouse aside for thu
newsboys and street urchins of the city, and th'
demand for admittance has been far greatel
than was expected from the boys themselves.
The main work OF the association in its new
quarters will be identical with that carried OF
in the old building, but in the educational de-
partment some innovations to be tried. Last
year several of the Yale professors, especially
in the political economy department. lectured 10
the association during tha winter, but this COM
ing year the Yale interest in the association
promises to be much wider The regular classes
in chemistry, language and drawing, etc, will
be conducted by well known young business
men who are experts IN their various lines, bu.
it is expected that a score more Yale grad
uate students will volunteer to help with TINS
work
The demand for accommodation in the assC,
citation building has already far exceeded the
original plans. There has been a great inrusii
of young men employed in the stores and fac
tories of the city to the classes, and in the boys
department the number of applicants can hardly
be handled. The youngsters who belong 10 the
bows DEPARTMENT more than delighted with
the new gymnasium and swimming pools, anC
the rush for accommodations after school hours
is unprecedented in the history of the assocla
ton.

all thirteen different courses in Sheffield leading
to the degree Of Pr B.

more years that Sheffield Scientific School has

cause of his great generosity in establishing the

New-Haven, Conn, Jan. 24.-The new Young
Mems Christian Association Building, which has
recently been opened n Temple-st, is in every
respect one of the most commodious buildings
of the kind in this country. 1t was built at the

spirit of the city responded it has to no other

MYSTERIOUS RUINED CITY.
Honduras Government Has stopped the
Work of Excavation.

All work on the ruins OF the great
prehistoric city of CApan, in Honduras.
has been suspended by order Of the
Honduran governmeut. Extensive ex-
cavations have been made at Copan oy
agents Of the Peabody Exploration
Fund and great palaces and temples.
giant stairways and broad plazas have
been unearthed Enough was uncover
ed to show that Copan was the capital
of a great empire which has entirely
vanished, leaving no history, not even
traditional history behind it which
man as yet can read.
The government of Honduras gave
no valid reason for stopping the ex-
cavations, and the custodians Of the
Peabody Exploration Fund hope to ba
able to get permission to resume work
next year, as the prohibition seems to
be only the result of a temporary freak
on the part of the native officials.
Meantime a wall has been built around
a part Of the eXcavated city and watch
men, living in huts amid the ruined
palaces of forgotten kings, keep away
natives who might deface and destroy
the elaborate stone carvings and
sculptures.
The history of Copan and its mighty
warriors, wise statesmen and splendid
kings is all written on numerous coll
umns of stone and on the walls of the
palaces and temples, but no man as
yet can read the inscriptions. Archaeo-
logists of the Peabody Museum have,
however, mastered the calendar of the
vanished people, and, with this as a
starting point, are gradually making
progress toward the acquisition Of
knowledge of the language Of the mys-
terious people Of the forgotten empire.
If the work on the ruins Of Copan
can be resumed next year it is expect
ed that many finds" will be made
which will be of the greatest import
ance to American archaeology.

what be should do.
How much?" queried the farmer.
Well let's call it three dollars"
replied the lawyer
The farmer handed over a fve-dol-

rassed But after searching through
his pockets and the drawers of his
desk, he rose to the occasion and
pocketed the bill as he reached for
