REFUGEES FROM RUSSIA.

In the last five weeks hundreds of Russian Jews, victims of the recent onslaughts on the Jews in South Rus sia have landed in London penniless or with only few shillings in their pockets Every ship from the German and Dutch ports brings twenty or thirty victims of mob anarchy.
 The more fortunate find work with sweating tailors, who pay them five or six shinings a week. which enables them to share nights lodging in some filthy, overcrowded garret or cellar, where eight or ten men sleep on sacks on the floor. Black bread, bit of pickled herring and a cup of bad tea is their food, with piece of gherkin or cucumber as occasional luxury.
 The unluckY who can find no work, are going without food often for a couple of days together. At night they roam the streets of Whitechapel and Spitalfields, sleeping on staircases and in doorways until they are moved on by the police.
 By day they get a penny or a half penny from a compatriot-the aliens are good to one another-and then they buy piece of black bread and a slice or two of cats meat, which they rav- enously devour.-London Express.

to carry on any kind of an existence in is the bottom in Manhattan. For that price in Dubuque he can have the best that the town affords in the boarding house line, and it is 8 very good best, too, far superior to the daily diet of prunes and gossip of the typical New York boarding-house.
 . The Dubuque proletarian, in all prob ability, lives within easy walking dis tance of his place of4business. Tn New York that is a virtual inpossibility. As a result the 5-cent fares in Greater New York last year amounted to $54,- OoOOO0. In addition there were the 1O- fares extracted from the dwellers in Brooklyn and the Bronx, and the com mutation fares which the Jerseyites contributed to the support of the pub lie service corporation of the State in which they pass their sleeping hours. If our New York proletarian escapes with an average expenditure of a dol lar and half week for street car fares alone he is very fortunate.''

 Whereas, Oscar L. Bradley, captain of Co. I, Second regiment infantry, C. N. G., and for a period of more than twenty years 8 member thereof, having departed this life at his residence in the city of Meriden on the first day of January, 1906, his fellow officers in the regiment with whom he had been so long and so closely associated desire in their sorrow to place upon record their sense of the bereavement sustained by them and by the community in which he lived.
 Wherefore: It is by the officers of the Second Regiment Infantry, c. N. G., now assembled for the purpose:-
 Resolved: That deeply impressed by this second great and personal aff1ic- ton within a few brief weeks, and by the great and good qualities of our de- ceased associate, we render this tribute of our admiration and respect to his memory
 Resolved: That the officers of this regiment wear the usual badge of mourning thirty days and that copy of these resolutions be transmitted by the adjutant of the regiment to the family of the deceased with the respect full assurance of our deepest sympathy in their much greater bereavement

NEW YEARS SUPPER.

A New Years supper was rendered the guild of St. Pauls church Monday evening in the new room in the base ment Of the parish house. Mrs. Bar | mum, president of the guild, was the generous donor of the supper. The oc- casion was very happy one, bonhomie being waited across the tables in suo- cessive waves, with merriment continu- ously jostling good fellowship.
 The tables were artistically decorat- ed, the color scheme being pink and green, pink carnations being the pre- dominating flowers. The illuminatfons consisted of tiny candelabrum, which were prettily unique. The favors con- sisted of beautiful heart-shaped boxes containing dainty bon-bons.
 The toastmaster was Rev. James De- Wolf Perry, jr., the rector of the church, and speeches were made by him, Rev. Franklin Knight and Rev. Robert Bell. Following the speeches songs in unison were rendered by the members of the guild and their friends.
 After the supper the rector took the guild and its friends present on a stereopticon journey through the Rocky mountains. This was a delightful treat and was enjoyed immensely.
 Some of those present were Miss Os- born, Mrs. Barnum, Mrs. Dikeman, Miss Hall, Mrs. Robert Bell, deaconess; Mrs. Franklin Knight, and Miss Doro- thy Bell, the little daughter of Rev. and Mrs Robert Bell, besides the mem bers of the guild.
 l A vote of thanks was rendered Mrs. Barnum, and those friends who helped her prepare the supper, and much ap- preciation was expressed for the kind ness of the rector and the other cler- gymen in helping to entertain.
