 dencs of Mrs. R. R. Stannard.

0v0CV 0S SSESs M Ns St00U&T0s
 The annual meeting of Melicent Porter chapter, D. A. R., was held yes terday afternoon at the residence of Mrs R. R. Stannard, 31 Central ave- nue, and was largely attended. The reports of the various officers were read and showed the chapter to be in very gratifying condition, both nu- merically and financially.
 The report of the committee in charge of the colonial tea and loan exhibit held February 22-23. was es- pecially interesting. This is the first entertainment of the kind the chapter has ever undertaken, and its results are certainly encouraging for the giv- ing of other entertainments in the near future, or at least of giving one event in the course of the year that shall emphasize the objects of the society and awaken interest among those who, while eligible for membership therein, have heretofore taken littl1 thought concerning it. A special vote of thanks was given to Mrs D. F. Webster for her efficient management of the tea, and it was also voted to pay her expenses at the national D. A. R. congress which meets in Wash ington this month.
 The officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: Regent. Mrs Daniel F. Webster; vice regent Mrs Samuel Root; registrar. Miss Rather inc Pnchard; treasurer, Mrs Oliver G. Camp: recording secretary, Mrs Edward w. Shannon; corresponding secretary, Mrs Otis s. Northrop: his- torian. Miss Mary Porter: curator. Miss Fannie Porter; auditor, Mrs Jay H. Hart: program committee, Miss Katherine Hamilton, Mrs De Hart Gulick, Mrs Henry G. Anderson: so- cial committee, Mrs G. Leslie Dex- ter. Mrs J. Van Reed. Mrs R. R. Stan hard: music committee. Mrs ]. Mer- rick Gallond. Mrs ]. T. Pratt. Mrs Herbert Wilcox; press committee, Mrs Oscar W. Noble. Mrs Charles ". $. Frost. Miss Fanny Bryan: board of management, Mrs Edward l.. Frisbie, Mrs Luzerne I. .Munson. Mrs Heman Miller.
 The program for the afternoon in cluded song by Merritt Tompkins, "I Will Be Brave for Thee.". with ac- compartment. by George Tompkins; paper by Mrs De Hart Gulick on "Children's Reading" and reading by Mrs Oscar w. Noble of a poem en- titled "AbeilnegO Ramsdell." written by Thomas F. Porter, and describing hitherto comparatively unknown in- cident of the battle of Lexington; also reading of extracts from the report of the state regents meeting. held at Meriden a few weeks ago. by Miss Katherine Hamilton.

A TRIM YACHT.
Equipped With Rapid Fire Guns to
 Sail for Colon.

New York, April A trim steam yacht, the Orienta. built on the lines of a torpedo boat and representing the navy of the Panama republic. is an- chOred at shipyard in Elizabethport. N. J.. prepared to sail for Colon April 15. The yacht is, we'll equipped with rapid-fire guns, searchlights and wire less telegraph. In command of Cap tain LOvelace. formerly of Kansas City, she will make business of run ming down smugglers and keeping order along the shores of the Isthmus.
 The Orienta was built for q mem- Der of the New York Yacht club but did not meet his requirements. It is 1O5 feet long and of steel construction throughout. Captain LOvelace, who has spent nine years in tropical wa ters. In talking of his new berth. he said:
 "The lack of revenue cutters on the Atlantic coast of the Isthmus has meant a considerable loss to the gov ernment in customs revenues. Be- tween Colon and the river AtratO lies one of the richest cocoanut regions in the world. This strip of coast line is occupied almost solely by the San Bias Indians. who drive a profitable trade with smugglers from Curacao. Jamaica and the islands of San Andres. These smugglers exchange merchan- disc for cocoanuts, ivory nuts and tor tOise shells.
 Last year 1.OOO.OOO cocoanuts were exported from the coast. all paid for ny merchandise from which the govern ment of Panama has not derived a centavo of customs revenue. It is to prevent this smuggling. and collect the duties it is now losing that the govern ment has decided to arm the Orienta and run her up and down the coast"

THE BR0oKsIDE YIELD.
Collected Over Ter,y DossA Eets psr.
 ,na Month of liarch.. tss'

There was no meeting of the board of charities yesterday afternoon, Dut Mayor Elton, Commissioner Bronson, Superintendent Doran and Clerk At wood talked things over for time and then decided to manage to get along without any session until the middle of the month. The report of Superintendent Moran of the Brookslde home was looked over and discussed. It was substantially as follows:
 'In, our new hennery we recelyed forty and one-third dozen eggs during the month of March. We have stripped a pit of 23O bushels of turnips and recommend that 100 bushels be sold; we could very easily get along with 15O bushels. We are also getting along very favorably with our wall and II everything proves favorable we ex- pect to finish it this year. l am glad to be able to report success ill our char caning department, eighty chairs being repaired in March, which amounted to $28.36. We have completed the steps leading into the cellar and find the new boiler great improvement for the institution. Our milk at the pres ent time is not in sufficient supply, the average not exceeding from ten to twelve quarts per day, but we nope for better results as soon as the me weather sets in. The wire fence be- tween the brass mill property and the city line is completed. A metal ceiling has also been put inc in one of the rooms. We would like to know what you think best to do with the eggs. So far we have been serving them 10 the inmates at the home and at the isolation hospital"
 Mayor Elton is something of judge of fowl and he hinted that 1t mlgnt be a good plan to set lot of the mems and let the inmates while away their time watching the little chicks during the summer. When they grow pig they might be disposed of for broilers and bring in considerable revenue. MT Bronson suggested that the cows now at the BrOOkside be sold and ones which will yield larger supply of milk purchased. The mayor thought 1t might pay to fatten them and then put them to the knife. While nothing definite was agreed to it appeared to be the sense of those present that Alr Moran would have to use good share of his own judgment about these mat ters. Superintendent Doran was re quested to talk the whole matter over with the regent and see what they could do to get the best results from the chickens and cows.
