] Colonel William r. Morse, an Authority on Incinerating Plants, Speaks in \ United Church--Dr. Roland G. Free man Tells of Efforts and Ways of c Obtaining Pure Milk-S1 ,OOO will be
 Appropriated for MiIk Inspection. The first of the citizens meetings un- ! der the auspices of the Associated So- {, Gieties was held in the United church last night and was largely attended. I Professor c. F. Kent presided There were two principal speakers, Colonel William F. Morse, of New York, and Dr. Roland G. Freeman, of Bellevue hospital. Colonel Morse, who is the agent in this country for the English l type of incinerating plants, is an au- thority on his subject. On invitation of that board he appeared before the board of finance yesterday afternoon to con- fer with the members with reference to establishing a plant in this city. He will meet the members of the board again at 10 o'clock this morning, be- cause they consider that his knowledge of incinerating plants will be of assist ance to them in determining whether this city shall have one or not, His address at United church last night was on the subject ''The Disposal of City Refuse" Numerous lantern slides were shown of modern methods
 of disposal of garbage. Colonel Morse
 said, in part:
 "The question is a hard one to handle
 because the garbage is not homogene-
 ous in character, Over fifty per cent.
 is water. There are two ways employ
 ed in this country in its disposal. One
 is by putting it on the dumps, where it
 slowly putrifies and, even if covered up
 with ashes, becomes dangerous to the
 public health. Another way is by feed-
 ing it to swine. This is not worse than
 any other method Still, in some cities 1t had to be abandoned because of the epidemtcs that arose in consequence" Waste papers, he said, were hard to
 dispose of in the large cities, but the question of ashes was easy to solve. He said there was an immense amount of material in this refuse that could
 be disposed of and bring the city revenue.
 Modern methods, sail Colonel Morse, had been in operation in this country less than twenty-five years, and even now not generally. The idea of com bustion was first introduced into this country from England and is now being used in many of the large cities. There are two considerations to be taken into account in the disposal of garbage. One is that the method be sanitary and the other that it be inexpensive. The Eng fish follow out the first of these consid- erations through a sense of duty but the Americans do so only when they are forced to it.
 Dr. Ronald G. Freeman next spoke on Milk and Dairy Hygiene" He gave
 an interesting description of the efforts of the physicians to obtain pure milk, and spoke good word for the milk commissions in New York city and the Strauss milk depots for the poor. He said that the milk put on the market to-day was very injurious. He showed by lantern slides the methods employed

Interesting Bouts Pulled Off Before En-
 thusiastic Audience.
 A very successful athletic entertain ment was held last evening in the Boardman building given by the New Haven conclave, No. BPS, Improved Oql- der of Heptasophs The several bouts which took place were very interesting. The hall was overorowded with ring en- thusiasts.
 The first bout, between Wilson and Davis, was easily draw. The second, between Jeff Dougherty and Austin Rice, was more Dougherty's way but still Rdce evened up matters toward the end. Maher and Buttr!ck fought an even bout. The Costello and Spike Hickey bout was an exciting one, Cos tello having the advantage most of the time. He Is clever little fighter and showed himself as such.
 The athletes were picked from the best in the state.

tions of our city. Are these facts due to New Havens climatic conditions or to prevalent local causes?
 Our medical authorities and those who have most carefully investigated the question are agreed that the causes are local and can be removed, more over, such diseases as typhoid fever, are now classified as "crime diseases" in the sense that they are brought on as the result of criminal grievances or neglect. The questions before us this evening are, therefore, questions not only of civic betterment but also of in- diVidual and corporate responsibility.
 All are agreed from the mayor to the humblept citizen that our present system of garbage collection and dis posal is antiquated, unsatisfactory and a menace to public health. It might be tolerated in a town of fromten to twenty thousand inhabitants, but in a large and closely built city 1t is an in- evitable source of discomfort and cost ly both in health and life. Its evils are well known; the contracts are let to the lowest bidder, the wagons and bar rels used are of wood, and apparently seldom or ever cleaned, the service in some sections of the city is very irreg- ular. The health office was besleged this season with complaints from citi- zens, who had an unbearably poor ser vice.
 He referred to the equally unsatic- factory system in use as to the dispos- al of garbage in New Haven and the need for more modern methods. He condemned the use of the green and other spots for dumping purposes. Re- garding the necessity for pure milk New Haven had made some progress in this matter but was still far from being in the front rank A tabulated statement was given showing the im- provement in the health of Rochester, IN. Y., before and after the establish ment of inspected milk stations, the death rate being 50 per cent. Jeff after the stations had been installed.
 Prof. Kent stated that he had been assured by member of the finance board that the appropriation of 1000 asked for by physicians of the clty for the inspection of milk had been includ- ed in the allowance for the ensuing year.

cUR1ous THINGS IN HAVANA.


 The other day a guest at a leading hotel oredered boiled eggs for break fast The bill of fare quoted price of 40 cents and the waiter explained that that was for boiling the eggs three minutes. The guest ordered them boiled four minutes. When the bill came 1t was for eggs especiale," and the price was sixty cents.
 There will be a charge for breathing in this town pretty soon. Already there is price fixed on the occupation of a bench in the parks, and a horde of eagle-eyed collectors ready to swoop down instantly on the unfortunate and weary wretch who happens to drop a seat for Q moment.
 This is a breast of q place. There is nothing to smoke here but Havana cigars, When you want a first-elass mouth-filling smoke of good old United States cut plug you can't get 1t to save your life unless some friend in the Navy comes to your resuce with a box from ships canteen. I know a. man who had been sucking Havana cigars for a week trying to get something in. the smoke line that would give him a bite, when a friend gave him tin of cut plug. He just cuddled up to his old shiny brier for the rest of that day, and was unutterably happy.
 IA New Yorker sat down in the swell cafe here the other morning for break fast He tried several dishes, but could get nothing that suited. Then he called for the bill. It was $5.30 He looked at it minute and then paid it. Say" he said as the waitor brought him the change from a BIO bill,, lis there any place in this town where I can get something to eat? I'm hun- gry"
 A nice looking young man came down here from New York last week to ob- serve the progress of intervention. In his home town he had been accustomed to having plenty of fruit for breakfast, and he felicitated himself upon his ar- rival in the land of fruits and flowers, thinking of the choice new varieties of fruit on which he would feast in Havana. The first morning he looked over the list. Oranges, bananas, pre- served guavas, guava jelly, and guava paste" That was the line, Written on the bill under the heading of "Speciar' ho found the word apples" Bring me dozen apples, he ordered.
 The waiter went away, and in the course of quarter of an hour returned with a plate containing dozen scraw ny little bee-stung second-class cider apples and the bill It was for $2.60.
 Then the man went out and cabled for more money,
 A stunning girl got into a street car bound for Camp Columbia yesterday morning, going out to take a look at the American soldiers with party that looked like family reunion. She had the red ripe lips dark eyes and olive check the Spanish novel writers love to rave about on page after page. Also she was gowned to fit, and her fingers glittered with flashing gems. There were diamonds In her ears and pearls on her neck, and a sweet gardenia nestled in the coil, of her glossy hair. But the climax of decoration was the broad band in her e.-Correspond- ence New York Times.

A DIsGUsTED WOMAN.

Who Talks in True Feminine Fashion
 of Municipal Ownership in Glasgow. | We went to Glasgow prepared to find the cleanest city in the world and to join the noble army who in maga- zine articles and on the platform have held it up as model of municipal ] government and @ shining example the peoples ownership of public util- ities. We found one of dirtiest cities in Europe, poor gas and electric light, wretched street cars and streets ev- anywhere out of repair
 Nowhere in the United States out side of Philadelphia and Chicago, our two most notoriously mlsmanaged cities, can be found as dirty street cars. Each one hears in large letters the words James Dairymple, Mana ger" and strikingly suggests that al- though Chicago's politics" may have seemed shockingly unclean her streets and electric cars must have made the distinguished Scottish expert feel very much at homo. We had always to hold up our dresses to keep them off the tram floor, which was covered with tobacco juice while the sidewalks were in the same condition. In a visit of only few days it was of course im- possible to make any detailed investi- gations, but city so widely advertis- ed for its municipal government one has a right to judge from general appear ances. We walked for miles, through the streets, which for the most part are of cobblestones, and everywhere they showed urgent need of repairs and looked as if they had not been cleaned for weeks.
 In the aristocratic residence portion they were well paved and swept, but these include but small part of the city. The railway stations are filthy mot other word expresses their condi- tion-and this is the case not only here but in all parts of Scotland. while the cars are fully as bad as those in Italy.

NEAR A GAS FAMINE.
New York Had a Narrow Escape in
 the 1902 Strike.

New York Had a Narrow Escape in
 the 1902 Strike.
 Few householders who were buying coal during the great strike of 1902 will ever forget that emergency. It was, indeed, time to try mems souls when no one knew whether the price Of coal would become prohibitive the next week or the next month.
 People were trying all sorts of ex- periments with fuel-bricks soaked in oil, compressed peat and things which had never been used for fuel before The coal men did their best to husband the resources of the city, but as time went on they began to talk of refus- ing to sell to theatres and other places of amusement, and of doling out the remaining supply in such proportions as to meet the need of all who would actually suffer without coal, and let the loss fall on people who could stand it. It seemed as if the population were about to be ranged in two camps, the strikers and the struck-the struck be- ing, as usual, the consumer.
 In the memories of New York gas men there is an interesting little chap ter of unwritten history which has to do with that strike. It never even happened to get into the newspapers, and no one suspected at the time how near the great city was to one of the great city was to one of the most ter rible crises it has ever known. At the time of the settlement of the Istrike there was less than two weeks supply of coal in the possession of the gas company, and no more coal in sight.
 Two weeks more and it would have been exhausted
 Four million people would have found themselves facing an unusually severe winter without an adequate supply of coal, without gas and with the price of oil and the price of oil stoves both higher than in ordinary times.
 What is more, the order went out to close all sales departments where ranges and gas appliances were sold as soon as the strike assumed threat ening aspect. The men in control of the gas plant realized that if the peo- pie who had money to spare rushed to purchase ranges and heaters of all kinds, and used gas altogether in their houses, there might not be a sufficient supply to see the city through the strike, and that every re- source of the company must be care fully guarded against possible per iod of actual famine. That this care was justified is shown by the fact above stated-that even with every possible precaution the available SUD- ply of coal would have been made to last only two weeks--Gas Logic.

He was the man who first secured Gypsy Smith for this country and in the recent revival movement in Denver he was conspic- uous worker.

METHODS OF CAMEO CUTTING.

Ornaments From shells-settings of
 Twisted Gold Framework.
 Few articles of jewelry ever went so completely out of fashion as the cameo. and no woman, whatever her eocentricity in matters of personal jewelry, would have been sufficiently bold to a few years ago to have risked her reputation for artistic taste by exploiting a cameo brooch, bracelet or hair ornament. But nowadays We are nothing if not retrospective, says The London Evening Standard, and these old fashioned heirlooms are more priz- ed today than they were by their origi- nal owners.
