WHERE ART LOVERS GATHER
4 GLANCE AT THE ARTISTIC
 DISPLAY.
{5 At TieRnan & Co.'S Fine Art Emporium A More Beautiful Exhibit Than Ever-Visitors Always Cordially In- vited to View the Display.

vited to View the Display.
 The people of New Haven and vicin- ity are indebted to F. W. Tiernan & Co. for one of the finest art stores in the New England states. Here Is indeed an art collection worthy to select from. embracing a. large array of choice pieces such as every connoisseur will recognize as gem in it's line. MT. Tiernans gift of selection and artistic taste is well known and such an op- portunity for selection of Christmas gifts as is displayed at this store is a credit to this city and boon to art lovers.
 No detailed enumeration will do jus tice, or would do but scant justice, to the array of beautiful articles that is seen at Tiernan & Co.'S. And such Is the established and even enhanced rep utation of this old renowned Chapel street art emporium that art lovers come from all over the county to make selections. Just now the attractions are drawing throngs to this busy mart of the artistic. There are hundreds of things in choice paintings and other gems in pictures, in frames or suitable for framing, besides an immense va riety of choice pieces from the world S most artistic potteries, and nurnberless other articles that will please the fas- tidious and cultivated taste; and there lis something for all, down to the small articles that are admirable for gifts and inexpensive.
 A glance at the window of Herman & Co. we'll rewards the Christmas saz- CTS at our notable stores. The extra ordinary skill and taste evidenced in the array, and the arrangement thereof, are apparent to the most casual ob- server.
 While white and gold effect seems to predominate, many delicate bits of color in the shape of rare art objects have been introduced, which lend to it an almost indescribable charm. The studied carelessness of it's arrangement and the harmony of its color effect eIe- yates the window itself to a work of art. The season is suggested by tiny evergreen tree in a brass jardinier of the best Russian workmanship, which rests on a pedestal of the same ware. There are two brecciated marble balls from Japan, beautifully polished A casket of silver deposit on copper with the newest and one of the most beau tiful lines of art metal goods on the market; a fired" copper plaque with its irridescent colors; number of most tastefully framed pictures; some cut glass; elegant mirrors in fine gold frames.
 There are many other objects shown of equal beauty, and the whole is light ed from a bronze electrolier which has a leaded Tiffany glass shade. To ade- quately describe the window further would be to exhaust the synonym of the word beautiful and then to reiterate them.
 The Ternan store deserves a magni- ficent patronage. Visitors are welcome and cordially invited to view the dis play.

 EIdridge-Cases Before the City
 COurt-Thomas H. Maher Held on
 $2,OOO Bonds.
 The opinions of the supreme court in five New Haven county cases recently decided were received by the clerk of the superior court yesterday, In the opinion on the case of Mae$J. Campbell against the city of New Haven, in which judgment was given for Miss Campbell in the superior court to re- cover $500 damages, the supreme court makes interesting comment on the lia- bility of municipalities for injuries re- ceived by persons who suffer falls on slippery sidewalks.
 On this point the supreme court says:
 Municipalities are not insurers of the safety of travel on their highways, whatever the season or whatever the cause than renders them dangerous. The herculean task of making such ways safe at all times and under all circumstances is not imposed upon them. This is especially true in our climate in respect to accumulations of snow or ice thereon. Some duty. is im- posed in such cases, but it is limited. in that it takes into account variety of conditions and circumstances, including the difficulties attending situations as they are created by the regors of our winters" s.>
 The city's appeal. was based on alleg- ed errors by the trial judge and the court finds that the lower court erred in not admitting the testimony Of po- liceman who was asked whether or not the sidewalk at the spot where Miss Campbell fell was in a reasonably safe condition on February 13, the date of the accident The court ruled this out on objection that 1t called for an ex- pression of opinion but the supreme court says it should have been admit ted and orders g. re-triaL

CRIMINAL COURT ADJoURNs.

The criminal side of the common pleas court came in yesterday morning with Judge Ullman on the bench, but was adjourned. for tib term without any business being disposed of. All of the prisoners now in Jail awaiting hear ings on their appeals will now have to 1anguish in limbo until the first Mon- day in January.
 Thomas Byrnes, one of the alleged pickpoclxets arrested some time ago and sentenced to one month in jail. is among the appealing prisoners without bonds. Byrnes has been in jail more than month already, which Is the length of his city court sentence, but this counts for nothing, as he appealed the case He will be in jail two months before his appeal is heard, and then if he is convicted his chances are good for another month. It is expected that at the January term the case against Christian Van DeMark, a former trolley car conductor charged with embezzle- ment from the company, will come for trial. :

 Work of National mpOrtance-Muni-
 cIpaI Reform League Must be Perma-
 nent--LObbyism Rampant.
 At the meeting of the Non-Partisan Municipal league held in Chamber of Commerce building last evening, Attor- ney E. P. Arvine delivered an address upon the "Permmanency of the Muni- cipal League"
 He said in resume:
 believe that the permanency of the Municipal league is necessary to civil reform. Our whole political system is based upon graft. It is no use for men to fit themselves for public service in this country. The only thing that is valuable to study in politics is the way to carry elections, or to acquire pull"
 The spoils system prevails in this country. Party workers do not work from patriotic purposes but for their share of the plunder. Consequently the best classes of our citizens will not go into political life, The spells system is responsible for this.
 The system has extended to the ap- pointment of judges. A recent investi- gation into the appointments of judges throughout the country showed unsatis- factory conditions In every state ex- cept Massachusetts. We have had al- most 100 years of this corruption now, and 1t is beginning to produce it's fruit. atH :,
 One evidence of corruption is the ex- istence of the lobby: Or third house, which Is known to exist in every legis- lature of this country. Lobbying has become profession. There is not country in Europe where such a thing as a lobby exists. It is distinctly Am erican.
 The municipalities are the. chief standby of the spoils system. The fed eral offices are not enough to reward the workers, and they go to the more prominent politicians. The. offices in the municipalities are the rewards of the small politicians, If we take the municipalities out of party politics we strike a death blow at the spells sys- tenn. It is absurd that municipal off, cers should be chosen on political grounds. All offices not necessarily bound up in politics should be taken out of politics,
 There should be a permanent party good citizens to nominate men on ac- count of their fitness solely, and for business reasons That should be the aim of the Municipal league, and thus by striking at municipal partisanship reform in state and federal politics would ultimately result. It is necessa-- ry that the municipal league should be permanent. It may not succeed at first. probably not, but In a few years think 1t would gain the confidence of all good citizens and gain the balance Of power. Only in this way, it seems to me- can good government be obtained in this country. Only in this way can we accomplish our aims.
 Mir. James J. Carr, registrar of vital statistics, was present under the im- pression that the meeting was for pub- lie discussion of the Humphrey and Crown streets extensions. The Ieasue voted to extend the courtesy of the floor to MT. Carr, who spoke for a few minutes on the matter of the Hun- phrey street extension.

] ,'89 DIMES AT THE ELTON
PRO4IINENT TALE GLASS HOLDS
 EYFHUSLASTIC REUNION.

a Gafherjn That iB Unique in the
 History of Waterbury and That
 Breaks All the Traditions of Similar
 Glass Reunions.
 The dinner of the class of Yale 80 given at the Elton Saturday evening by Irving H. Chase, says the Water bury American, proved most successful in every feature and arrangement. It was a break with all the traditions, as all such dinners are given at New Ha- ven or New York. The dinner was served in the Flemish room, which was appropriately and effectively decorated. The management of the dinner was in the hands of the class committee, con- sisting of N. G. Osborn and Dr. W. G. Daggett, of New Haven, and Walter Jennings, of New York.
 The menu of the dinner was quite unique. On the first page, adorned by a cut Of the hotel, was this legend:
 Yale 80.
 "Otium cum Dignitate.' Complimentary dinner given to his fel-
 low immortals of the class of 80,
 Saturday evening, December
 the sixteenth, 1905, by
 Irving H. Chase.
 Some hae meat and canna eat,
 And some Wad eat that want it. But we hae meat, and we can eat,
 So let the Lord be thankit.
 Bobby Burns. The next apge contained roster of all the members of the class of 80 with this little verse:
 Here we have the. Noble Band
 Of Immortals very weighty Known to Yale Men of the Land
 As the Wonder Class of Eighty. --Nodspeare. Then followed the dinner programme proper, which, of course, was supple mented with proer wines.
 Colonel Osborn presided at the dinner in his characteristic way, and nothing was lacking of fun or good fellowship. Grace was pronounced by Rev. A. c. Olll, UI N4lllOtIs 4Ns A't ~ NASSNA CT of James B. Dill, the corporation lawyer.
 Letters of regret were read by the class secretary, Dr. w. G. Daggett, in terspersed by telegrams of regret and greetings received at various times throughout the dinner. Among the let ters of regret were those received from John S. Harding, of Wilkes-Barre; W. IA. Peters, of Seattle; Bishop Keator, of Tacoma; Bishop Partridge, of Kyoto, Japan; Henry W. Taft, of New York; Rt. Rev. Doremus Scudder, of Homo lulu; E.. F. Green, of San Francisco; Professor Frank Goodrich, of Williams town; Paul Walton, of New York; and Walter c. Witherbee, of Port Henry, NY. .,....
 There were a few speeches of the informal but earnest and enthusiastic kind that always mark the gatherings of '80. The speakers included Walter Camp, of New Haven; Dickinson w. Richards, of New York; Walter Jen- s1ings, of New York; Rev. Arthur c. Dill, of Clifton Springs, N. T.; and John J. Nairn, of Hartford. During these speeches many tender references were made to the recent death of prorni- nert member of the class, W. E. Dec- row, of Boston. A letter was read from his son by Secretary Daggett giving some Of the details of his peculiarly sad end.
 After the dinner those present ad- sourned to the Home club on the top story of the Elton, where Waterbury Yale men of about the same time and a few of MT. Chase's personal friends were invited in to meet his classmates. lChe occasion was very much enjoyed.
