r"ssed the Orator by His
Statement.

y certain Pennsylvania town in the
early fifties made much of its ccle-
brations of the Fourth Of July. For
years there had been some veterans
of the revolution who had had posi-
tons of honor in the procession and
on the platform, says the Youths
Companion. One by one they had
dropped away until not man was
left f" fill the accustomed place
II was suggested. however. That
there was one old soldier living on n
remote hill-farm. and he was invited
and secured for the vacant post
The orator had reached his lofticst
height Of cloqucnce when he re.
fcrred to this war-scarred veteran.
I'VE have with us" he said. "A man
who deserves to share in an especial
way the glory OF our celebration. lie

to us older ones. I shall ask him if he
will rise that we may all gaze upon
bin for q moment. and if he will tell
us in what brigade and under what
commander he served the country
whose natal day we celebrate.
The old man tottcrcd to his feet

Early in the forenoon Mr.. Morton

Mr.. Morton laid his hand on the

Rendered on Account of I'll Health.
 New Principal to be Chosen.
 The committee on schools of the board of. education held meeting at il o'clock yesterday morning at which they considered the resignation of Mrs M. L.. Breen, supervising principal of the Wooster district. She has been con- nected with the New Haven schools since IT. The resignation will take place on January 1. #f
 Mrs. Breen has been i'll in Washing ton, D. C., since last fall, and was given leave of absence till January l. Her health, however, has not seemed to im- prove, and so she decided to tender her resignation.
 Mrs. Breen's resignation was accept ed by the committee with much regret. She has during her long service in the New Haven public schools done her duties with fidelity and efficiency. During Mrs. Breen's absence Miss Eleanor F. Healy, teacher in the eighth grade of the Wooster school, has effir gently been in charge of the district. { The committee on schools decided to select man to take permanently Mrs. Breen's place. Until he is appointed, which will be some time in February, Miss Healy will continue in charge of l the district.

FOR FREE KINDERGARTEN.
'sPARSIF4L,"ILLUSTRATEDLEC.
 TURF RECITAL,
To be Given at FOy Auditorium To.
 morrow Afternoon.

At Foy auditorium tomorrow after noon at o'clock Hans Schneider of Boston will give an illustrated lecture recital on Parsifal in aid of the Elm City Free Kindergarten.
 In view of the tremendous interest in this great musie-drama throughout the country especially since it's success in New York last week, all the larger cities and many of the smaller ones as well are clamoring for Parsifal lectures. The lucky on:es that are going down to one of the eighteen performances to be given at the Metropolitan must of very necessity hear an analysis of the work, while those who ar'e not so for tunate. are quite as anxious to know the story and something of the themes of the greartesrt achievement in the 1it- | erature of music.
 New Haven is deeply grateful to the women who succeeded in getting MT. Schneider to come, for without their ef- | fort we should have had nothing of the
 kind on this all absorbing subject. New
 York is having Parsifal lecture or
 two a week and has b!aen having them
 ever since it became definitely known ] thta Parsifal was a certainty. MT. Schneider together with Messrs. Damrosch and Keehbeil are the most successful lecturers on 'Parsifal," their analysis, it is said, being not only the clearest but as well the most compre- hensively simple and interesting. Those in charge of the affair in this city tomorrow are the officers of this Free Kindergarten association. They are:
 Moss Emily Whitney, president; Mrs. Otto Ramsey, Mrs. Lewis English and Miss Elsie Farnam, vice presidents;
 Miss Laura Sargent, secretary; D. A. Alden, treasurer: Mrs. A. D. Gridley, Mrs. Walter Camp. Mrs. H. B. Learned,
 Mrs. A. H. Grey, Miss Cora Wetmore,
 ecutive committee; Mrs. F. K. Bradley, rMs. A. H. Grey, Miss Corar Wetmore,
 Mrs. Wolcott Newberry, finance com lnittee; and Mrs. Charles G. Morris,
