HELD UP FUNERAL.
New Britain Priest Demanded Re
 moval of Political Badges.

New Britain. April 1.-The funeral services over the body of Peter Cow erecke. which were to be held at the church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus at 8 o'clock yesterday morning, were not held as expected. The deceased died Friday morning and was mem Der of the Polish Political club. No ], and the Bartenders' union. The for- lner took charge of the funeral and the latter sent floral tribute.
 The members of the club accompan- jed the body to the church but as they were about to enter they were met by the pastor. Rev Father Boj- nowski. who requested them to re- move the political club badges which they wore and put them in their pockets. Otherwise they would not be allowed to come within the church.. They refused. The widow, it is said. acguiesced in the action of the club, and the procession proceeded else where.
 Rev Father Bojnowski said last night that only societies which had been approved by the bishop could wear their badges in the church.s This society had not been approved and thus he declined to admit them with their badges on. He did not know what became of the procession when it turned away from the church. It is said that they buried the:tifceasad without holding church services.

4 DANGEROUS SITUATION.
Support Fell Prom Electric Light on
 Luke Street Last Night

The arm that supports the electric light at the corner of Fairmount and Luke streets slipped from its fastea- ings last night and let the lamp drop to within about foot of the ground. The current was on all the time and an army of boys conducted a war dance about the death trap until w. J. Duncan. the druggist. telephoned to the office at Bank street and cou- pie of men hurried to the scene and righted things. Is there anything dangerous about that?" inquired one of the neighbors of Foreman James D. Smith, who with helper hurled ly rushed to the spot from Baldwin street car. Dangerous" remarked the foreman. Well, should say so. Whats being done to keep those boys out of the way?" Before the linemen arrived somebody tried to get the lamp back into position by climbing up the pole and pulling in the heavy insulated wire, but 1t did not work. The next time that or any other lamp takes a tumble boys and others should give 1t a wide berth. The proper thing to do in such a case is to notify the office.

BOARD OF EDUCATION,
Fourteen Year Old Boy. Five Feet
 Four. Wants to Leave School.

The contractors who bid for the work of the addition to the Webster school will In all probability have to make another try. Not one of them came within mile of the appropri- alton, $28,0O0 The meeting of the board of education held last even ing adjourned to Friday evening in order to have time to think over this building problem. Vice Chairman Mcdonald presided. Commissioner Chase on behalf of the committee on hygiene and school houses report ed that an additional room has been opened in the Mulcahy school and the janitor, Finton Keefe, is there fore entitled to an, increase of sal ary, according to schedule. The in crease was allowed. It is proposed to run stand pipe up through the center of Crosby High school so. that all the floors will be given fire pro- tection. Fire hydrants were ordered for Croft and Walsh schools.
 An application from Miss Mabel McLoyd for an appointment in the grades was filed, and long report from Superintendent Tinker on the average life of school book, and It's vicissitudes, was read and filed also.
 John H. Henderson, pupil in Si- monsville school, occupied the at tention of the board for some time. though John was not present. His mother was, though, and she handed the board a petition asking that her boy who is turned IA, and is abnor- . mally developed, be released from school. She needs his help, she said, and thinks that school life, is a bur den to him. The boy is five feet four inches, and his mother thought that to keep him at school any long, CT would be folly. He is not yet through the fifth grade. John has a sister, 12 years, who is in the sew enth grade, and a sister still younger than her who is in the fifth. The matter was referred to the commit- tee on school attendance. Chairman Mcdonald remarked that the board is very particular about these mat ters, for to grant one such request would mean a shower of them on the board.

KNIGHTS BALL.
Over 1000 People Enjoyed Them'
 selves at Auditorium Last Night.

One of the most successful balls given by the Knights of Columbus was the annual event held at the Auditorium lats evening. over I. poo people were present and the decora- tions and the costumes were bril- liant.
 Long before the dancing began the galleries were crowded with those who had come to look on and enjoy the excellent concert rendered by Lallier's full orchestra.
 As the fair ladies and their escorts stepped from their carriages under the awning built over the sidewalk, they realized that the committee had left nothing undone to make the event a success. The floor of the corridor was covered with rugs and the walls were prettily decorated with bunting.
 The decorations In the hall proper were all that could be desired and brought forth words of admiration from all present. The side walls, the railings and the pillars were pro fusely trimmed with bunting, pink, white and purple being the prevail ing colors, with here and there d touch of red. Besides the numerous small lights there were six arc lights which with the other decorations and the gowns of the fair sex made the hall thing of resplendency.
 The orchestra sent forth the dreamy waltzes and popular two steps from the stage. hidden by a mass of potted plants, ferns and cut flowers. On the back of the stage was life size picture of Columbus The center of the hall was the cynosure of all eyes. A large bell suspended from the ceiling was the centerpiece from which streamers of red and white beautified with roses went to the four corners of the hall. where they joined punches of flow CTS and smilax. making an arrange ment that is seldom seen. During the intermissions refreshments were served.
 The committee in charge was as follows:: Joseph H. McGuinness. John J. Kelley. Edward F. Moran. Thomas F. Behan. George F. O'NeIIl, William J. Ryder. John R. Duane. James F. ColweIl. Joseph s. wors- ley, James M- Lynch, Timothy v. Conway. Charles E. Mcdonald, Frank Reed. Michael Donovan, Thomas o'Donnell. Edward 3. Ref ley. Jr, Peter J. Luddy. Thomas Fla herty. August Convard.

EGGS IN ALCOHOL BARREL,
A Good Receptacle in Which to Pickle
Your Eggs for Future Con-
sumption.

II alcohol barrels are new and clean
no sizing or other preparations should
be needed to fit them for preserving
eggs in water glass solution. This so
luton Is rather thick, and does not
really penetrate wood. All that Is
needed is that the barrels be fresh,
clean and free from any taint that a
water solution will dissolve. Coating
with paraffin certainly would not in
jure the barrels nor the eggs. and
would tend TO render the barrels wa
tertight, but in our opinion it does
not seem TO be needed. 1t would be
entirely practical TO hold the eggs
from six to ten months, or even longer
says the Rural New Yorker, II they
Sere perfectly fresh when put in, and
the solution Of water glass was ol
standard commercial strength, diluted
with nine times its bulk of water
At the same time we would not advise
offering these eggs as new laid after
coming out of the solution. They are
equal to fresh eggs for most purposes
but are not quite up TO the new laid
standard.
