THE WAY TO STOP IT.
"casl" Tells "lrish American" How Hs Can Assist.
Editor Evening Democrat:

Editor Evening Democrat:
 Dear Sir: In Thursdays issue Of your paper Irish American calls at. tention to the expected exodus from Ireland this year, and states that in his opinion the best thing. the Gaelic league in this country can do Is to discourage it in every way. fully agree with him and am proud to say that the Gaelic league is and has been for some time doing all it can to stop and discourage immigration. He fur ther says that he would be delighted to see the. local league take the first step. The local league is small in numbers and consequently its sphere of influence is not extensive. The old adage, "In union there is strength" is applicable to this case, and if Irish American is sincere in his desire to see immigration stopped, let him come and bring his friends with him to the Gaelic society's rooms in the G. A. R. building Sundays from to 6 D. m., or Tuesdays from s to 10, and be en- rolled, as every one added to its ranks increases it's sphere of usefulness, and the attempt to stop immigration should not be confined to the Gaelic league. All Irish societies should combine and work for that end. I believe better results can he attained here than in Ireland in discouraging immigration, because much of it is due to the send- ing of passage money from this coun- try. GAEL.

New Haven. April s.-Miss Justine Ingersoll. with coterie of lady friends. and with her cats. dogs and monkeys. repaired to the New Haven depct yesterday noon to take tho 1905 Shore Line train for Jamaica Plains. Mass. where she is to reside hereafter.
 Although her dogs and eats were well bound up in wicker work. yet she found that the oblurate baggageman would not allow them in the baggage car. This grieved her very much as she had her pretty little whitehead monkeys clutched close to her bosom. and she said that sine thought as she was taking care of the monkeys. ;he company ought to- take care of the dogs anl cats. especially as she had them so well confined in wicker work.
 Said Miss IngerSolI: If they will not allow my dogs and eats in tile par Tor ear. nor in the baggage car. what can I ,lo:--

ELkS INSTALL OFFICERS.
Another Large Meeting to Greet the
 Newly Elected

There was another rousing meeting of Elks last evening in their meeting hall on East Main street. and the large attendance was attracted because of it's being the first of new Elks year. The newly elected officers were in- stalled by Past Exalted Rnler James follows: Exalter ruler. William H. JohnstOn; esteemed leading knight, William J. Spain; esteemed loyal knight. Acly w. Castle: esteemed featuring knight, Charles A. Jackson; secretary, Edward F. Moran; treasurer, John H. Killilea: trustee for three years, Thomas Finnegan; tiler, JohnfF. Griffin.
 The new officers will have the honor of de1icating the new quarters on Grand street which are rapidly near. ing completion. The new home will be. ready for occupancy within a few weeks and it is expected that the first meeting in May will see the lodge occu. pying their own quarters. The new year started off last evening with plenty of enthusiasm and 1t augurs well for the success of the coming year. IL IS pOSSFDle tIlaI uuriIE tulS year the charter of the lodge will be closed permanently and that will mean an increase in the initiation fee and perhaps an increase in the dues. The rooms when finished will be as good if not better than any in New England.
 Exalted Ruler Johnson last night named his appointive officers for the coming year, as follows: Chaplain, Rev Dr Farrell Martin; esquire, George Clearwater; inner guard, John .Mulyille.. Jr.2au In the connection with the ab9ve about Waterbury Elkdom. 1t will be interesting news to know that Nauga. tuck is about to organize lodge. This project was started about one year ago. but for some cause it fell through. Should lodge be started in that borough fin all probability Michael B. Ready will be the first exalted ruler, as it is said he has just with. drawn from Waterbury lodge to as. sume the promotion of the lodge in Naugatlck.

The Qnartsrmaster.Censr Report
 Shows Expenditures of $6o,000

Expenditures in the quartermaster. generals department of the Connecti- cut National Guard for the year end- ing September 30, 1904. were $G9, ,3Sl.. 52, according to the annual report of General George NJ. Cole. acting quar- termaster. The report has something to say about q new state arsenal. It states that it would he waste of money to spend any amount on re- pairs Gii the old one. and it is the earn est desire of the acting adjutant-gen- eral that the legislature take up the matter at an early date.
 The water supply and drainage prob. lem at Mantle are discussed. The Bacon Air Lift company. of New York. has completed it's contract to build a water tower. but the efficiency of the new system has not been tasted yet by the troops. as they did duty at Ma nassas. last year. instead of at Mantle. A new sewage system has been built north of the mess houses. It was the intention of General Cole. acting on the recommendation of the state board Of health. to connect all the latrines with this sewer. which runs 200 feet from the shore into the Mantle river. there. by insuring the carrying of all refuse matter into the sea. Hut the local board of health. to connect all tbe latrines with this sewer. which runs 9O feet from the shore into the Nisn- tie river. thereby insuring the carrying of all refuse matter into the sea. But the local board of health positively re- fused to allow this to be done. The report says that this was an unwise decision. and if the troops should oc. cupy the camp for a longer period would he absolutely necessary.

IN THE POLICE COURT
Several Hen Brought In for lmbibins
 Too Freely.

Henry Hatcher. janitor, was landed in the police station this morning about 3 o'clock. He was ar rested by Officer Stevens for breach of the peace and resistance. The officer was passing near the green at the hour named when he heard loud talking. He saw Hatcher and another colored man, near the band stand, and he ad. visel them to stop their loud talk and go home. Hatcher's friend, having more sense than he had. took the off cer's advice and went home
 Hatcher said: There was a scrim- mage and the officer, not me, put his foot through the glass in the door. I didn't do it. And they dragged me into the cell.' Officer Madden said he was ill the day room at the time and hear ing rumpus he went down and helped Officer Stevens put Hatcher ill a cell. We had to drag him in," said Madden. flor he fought for all he was worth. It was he who broke the glass in the door in the rumpus." Hatcher had a black eye. He made one state ment that plainly showed he was mak- ing bluff. that was that Officer Ste vens told him he could see the chief at that hour. Hatcher was fined $1O and costs and was put on probation.
 A complaint against George Reid for violating his probation and not paying his wife $6 week as ordered by the court, was continued to Monday. Reid said he was taken with pneumonia di- rectly after his last appearance in court and came out of the hospital only a week ago.
 Thomas Edwards was sentenced to thirty days in jail for intoxication, and John Synnott will keep him company.
 Martin Henzie was fined $5 and costs for intoxication, and a complaint against Joseph Cody of Hickory street for breach of the peace was continued two weeks.

BETTER MARkSnANSHlP:
Military Officers Explain the Urssn.
 Need Of New State Rifle Ranses.

Hartford. April S.-Captain John k. Cree. United States army, adjutant of the artillery district of New London, talked to the committee on appropria- tiOns Thursday afternoon in regard to an appropriation for rife ranges in this state. He said that the increased range and the flat trajectory of the new rife make longer ranges neces- sary. In width the coming ranges should be sufficient to allow drill in ex- tended order. Captain Cree com menced the militia as an important part of the national defense in 1898. It is still more important now. the law of 1901 having greatly improved the militia, which will improve still further.
 Major Tilson of New Haven main- tained that the Connecticut National Guard should have better rife ranges in a statement which he made in ad- vocatflg the appropriation of S15.NO0 for three rifle ranges recommended by the committee on military affairs. The retiring of the old Springfields and the introduction of the United States magazine. thirty caliber, make it neces-
 
 than the old.
 General Cole said that soldier must he instructed in the art of shoot ing. The rife ranges must he as near to the city as possible. as the soldiers work during the day. General Cole said that the G00-yard range at South Manchester was available for certain purposes and could he considered in connection with a new range near this city. An appropriation of sl5.JD would establish at least two 1.NUlyard ranges. It would be economy for the state to buy land rather than to rent. as the rent might he raised. It wou.d be desirable that the bill take effect on it's passage. In 1g4 the Hartford Ma tional guardsmen went to South Mail- chester to qualify. the state paying the fare of the men on the field days. Colonel Schulze said that for 1901 the twelve companies of the First In- fantry iiad only 6Onyard range. and tho regiment had fallen go in marks ma,lship that he was ashamed of .ne showing. The state should encourage young men to join the national guard and it should especially encourage the soldiers in narksmanship.
 Lieutenant Arnon X. AIling of New Haven spoke. representing a commit tee of the officers association of the Second Regiment He said that the appropriation should be available as Ssscn as possible Unless the bill took effect on it's passage very little couId I-p done in the line of nlarksmanship before Opfolsr

HEARD IN THE LOBBY.
Remarks on Colonel Burpss, Attorney
 Cole and the Judsesh:p.

A man who spends good deal of his time around the Hobbies of the capi- tOl offered to wager $500 last night that Judge Burpee will not be the next judge of the city court. He would not say who the judge will be but intima- ted that he might be Attorney Cole. It was more than hinted to-day that Representative Marsh who is a mem- Der of the Judiciary committee, will not stand by Judge Burpee when the criti- cal times arrives. Attorney Minor and Mir Marsh were appraisers on an estate for which Attorney Cole was counsel. and few days ago Attorney Cole, .l.l settling up the affairs of the estate paid Mir Minor and Mir Marsh for their services and in handing Mir Marsh his check said jocularE: Here, Sam, that's more than Burpee would ever give you" Representative Marsh and Attorney Cole are more than old friends. They have been associated in many things and have helped each other in litigation.
 Attorney Church, a particular friend of Judge Burpee. held an. executive session with Representative Marsh in the vault of the latter's office in the superior court room this morning. It was afterward said that Attorney Church was feeling the representa- lives pulse on the judgeship for he has not been heard from on the matter in any way.
 It has been said that Senator Paige. chairman of the Judiciary committee is quite friendly to Judge Burpee's in terests. but the man who was willing to wager $500 that Judge Burpee will not succeed himself. says quite the contrary. X word from Representa- tive Marsh on the matter would throw considerable light on the perplexing situation.
