MAY GO UNDER TRACKS.

City Engineer Favors Humphrey
 Street Extension in That Manner.
 A hearing of the state railroad com missioners was held in city hall yes extension of Humphrey street should go above or beneath the tracks of the railroad. The decision of the commis- sion was reserved.
 City Engineer Kelley spoke in favor of the street extensions going under the railroad tracks and there was no objection voiced to this plan from the railroad company's representatives.
 Corporation Counsel Dagget explain ed that an agreement for the removal of the Cedar Hill station had been reached between the Mayor and Pres ident MeIlen, and in this connection Benjamin 1. Spock, of counsel for the railroad, stated that no resistence would be made against the city taking the land at the Cedar Hill station for the purpose of extending the street.
 The commissioners will probably ap- prove of the plan recommended of hav- ing the highway pass under the rail- road tracks, the cost of the improve ments to be borne equally by the city and the railroad company. The rail- road commissioners specifications will require a roadway sixty feet in width with head room of thirteen feet.

ATHLETIC MEETING.
TALE, HARVARD AND PRINCE
 TON DISCUSS POINTS.
Committee Representing the Three big Colleges Met at the New Haven House Yesterday and Talked Over Matters Pertaining to the Future Welfare of Athletics

Welfare of Athletics
 Representatives interested In the ath- letic department of the three big uni versailles, Yale, Harvard and Princeton, met at the New Haven house yesterday afternoon to discuss eligibility rules and, if possible, to come to clearer understanding regarding athletic ques- ticns in which all three are interested. Harvard was represented by Prof. H. S. White, chairman of her athletic com mittee; Princeton by Prof. H. B. Fine of the academic faculty. The Yale rep resentatives were Walter Camp, Yale's S general athletic adviser; President Spencer Turner of the baseball associa- ton; Captain Samuel Morse of the foot ball eleven; Henry B. Sargent ana Prof. Theodore S Woolsey of the Yale gen. eral athletic committee.
 It is known that all three universities have been carrying OF a quiet discus sion of athletic reforms and that the conference was called to compare notes, report later to tlle three universities faculties or trustees and to finally in tion of athletics the changes decided upon. At Yale, the special athletic com- mittee, consisting of Profs. Woolsey, Pirrson and Lewis, have reported, the university council and the academic faculty have learned their report and the general athletic committee have had it handed to them. These recom- mendations framed the Yale position at the conference
 Persons high in athletic councils ad-
 init that changes of the most radical nature made in years are impending in Princeton Harvard athletic rela- tions The three are taking the lead in arriving at reform in eligibility prac- tices, their precedence being assumed as it was when President Roosevelt appealed to them last October to save football by abandoning rough lay. The conference or series of conferences which began yesterday may result in a closer formation of the triple league, in general athletic policy, if not in play Ing schedules
 Two or three conferences of the Yale athletic committee have taken place at the residnce of Prof. Woolsey, begin hing with last Saturday, to frame rec concentrations for the meeting.
 It is generally believed that the com mittee came to an amlcable under standing regarding the questions taken | up and discussed, but no report will be trade of the meeting until the various ] representatives have reported back to the universities which they represent.

REV. DR OSCAR PARKER,

The body of Rev. Dr. Oscar Parker, who died Wednesday night in Sarato- ga, was brought here yesterday and will be taken to-day to Haddam for burial He was a native of New York state and was born March 21, 1911. He went to college and later to the Yale college theological seminary, from which he was graduated about 1S40. The following year he married Amelia B. Hazleton, daughter of the late Si- mon Hazleton of Haddam. His first and only passionate was in the Wap- ping district, where he was until 1S49
 when his health failed and he went west, going out on the Henry Lee with a number of others from this vicinity, including Francis Wilcox of this city
 On the trip he wrote a history of it that was printed on board. In the west he roughed it like the others and regained his health. He made some Money pros pecting, but made no big strikes. Af- ter while he returned east and lived in New York, where late in the fifties he was editor of the Farmer and Flow man." Again his health failed, and he went to Colorado. He prospected about Pike's Peak and made little money. Recovering his health again he moved to Omaha and was there when the city was organized. The nomination for the first mayor was offered to him, but he declined it, afterwards regretting that course. He made a little money in real estate while living there About 1862 he returned to the east and lived in Haddam, where he became one of the prominent residents. He took a lead ing part in educational work. At the dedication of Field Park, given by Cy- rus Field, he was one of the speakers. His wife died in 1879 and for dozen years after that he lived in this city with his nephew, James H. Tallman. In October, 1882, he married Mrs. Annie B. Stoller of New York city, who sur
 wives him. Soon after his second mar riage his wife lost her health and since then they had not lived regularly in any one place, spending the winters in New York, the early summer in Clifton Springs and much time in Saratoga Hartford Courant of February 3.

PATIENCE.
Bv Charles w. Drak,

By Charles w. Drake. How can We wait to right the wrongs Of mans inhuunandty to man? Which takes from him all that belongs To him, not all that ever can, Or may, some day, be surely his, But that which sweetens what now is. How can God wait to give desert
 To suffering humanity? How be so patient? Not alert.
 When all its sorrow He must see? It is thus because He is God, And so can bear to see them trod? Or does He know, as we do not,
 That all the present sorrow, loss, Misery and unhappy lot,
 Is but the bitter hidden cross Unconsciously borne by shining men To be reeompensed later on? Does He not know that what men SOW They sure will reap. some day, some
 where? That those who suffer now, and bow line lDacK, ana cruel laSnlngS Deaf Will some day meet with recompense, And this may help His long patience? He sees the future outcome end
 We see only the little now; The present does before Him bend, To what shall later come below; He sees oppressor and oppressed, And knows the latter shall have rest He knows the oppressor, will have Meted to him justice exact; That naught, from this, can ever save Him, Himself, on the same coarse
 rack
 Will plead for pity, compassion, And find it, in his own fashion.

OF THE AMERICAN NATIONAL
 RED CROSS.

Movement to Organize Branch of This
 Splendid Humanitarian Organization Here.
 At the annual meeting of the Aneri- can National Red Cross, which was recently held in Washington, D. C., 1t was reported that branch societies had been formed in fifteen states; also in the district of Columbia and in the Philippine islands.
 The special work at this time Of the society and it's various branches is to largely increase the membership to add materially to the national endoW- ment fund and to secure an enrolment of physicians and nurses who will hold themselves in readiness to serve in time of war or local calamity Since the organization in May, 1905, of the Connecticut branch, it's membership has l grown to 326, forty-seven of this num- Der being life members. Subdivisions have been formed in Litchfield, Nor wich Fairfield, Bristol and Hartford, It is the desire of the central com mittee in Washington, that divisions of state branches should be formed as rapidly as possible in leading cities and towns throughout tine entire country. New Haven shoulds take front rank in 1 this philanthropic enterprise, and it is 1 hoped at the earliest convenient date a division may be formed in this city, with membership of at least 800 of our | representative men and women, All persons who are interested in this Humanitarian enterprise are cordially invited to become organizing members of the New Haven division of the state 1 brandl, American National Red Cross.

EMARKABLE ABILITY.
Nearly Ninety-seven Years Old.

New Britain, Conn.,, Feb. 6.-Nearly ninety-seven years old and able to write an eight page letter to a friend in Boston without an error, is a condi- ton to which few people would ever dream of aspiring, but such is the re- markable ability of Mrs Abbie J. Stone of this city. Mrs. Stone will be ninety seven years old Wednesday, and is all ready planning how to celebrate the event. She is believed to be the oldest person in New Britain, now that Grandma" Bassette is dead.
 Mrs. Emeline Emo Bassett, who died few months ago, lived to be a little over ninety-nine years old.
 Mrs. Stone lives with her son, Dr. E. l.. Styles, of Court street, where every thing is done to make her comfortable.
 She wrote the letter referred to a few days ago and handed it over to the doctor to look at. She said she was not as young as she used to be and asked him to look through it to see if it was all right. There were eight pages writ ten in a fine hand, and he found the wording, spelling and punctuation cor rect, When Rev, l.. $. Johnson came in to call little later the doctor hand ed him the letter. and said, T will give you fifty dollars for every mistake you can find in it." Rev. Mr. Johnson took it and went through it carefully, but he failed to earn the fifty dollars for the first mistake.
 Mrs. Stone is a well read woman, and she can converse intelligently on most any topic. Her mind is as clear as a bell and she likes to laugh and joke with the rest of the family. She enjoys excellent health, and her only physical impairment seems to be a slight deafness. She reads fine print with the aid of her glasses, and she peruses the newspaper closely.
 She is as young at heart as any one in the family She likes to read the Bible and is greatly pleased when she receives visits from Rev. L. s. John son, who calls occasionally. One of her chief diversions last winter was to feed
 
 her room. No matter how cold the ! morning she would reach out through ' the snow on the sill and watch the birds come. They became quite tame, and she enjoyed their company. She is a great hand at needlework, and al- most every member of the family has some of her handiwork. Last year, on her birthday, she had birthday cake, and many of her friends called to con- graduate her Her celebration this time will be much the same;
 Mrs. Stone was born in Danville, Vt. She was twice married. She has six sons, Dr. E. l.. Styles of this city, William Etyles, of Glover, Vt, Dr. Charles Styles, of Boston, pr. M. F. Styles, of Westboro, Mass James Styles, of St. Johnsbury, Vt, and Mark P.~ Styles, of Roxbury, Mass, and a daughter, Mrs. Amelia P. Powell. She has twenty-five grandchildren, twenty six great-grandchildr and three great-great at-grandchildren.,
