A Taxpayers Protest.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 The plans for spending the public money for so called Improvements or public convenience, is, like taxes, ever with us, but just now it seems to have assumed an epidemic form, and ought to be quarantined, lest it result in
 bankruptcy, No doubt many of these will die a ibornin', but it is feared that enough may survive, by careful nurs- ing by interested parties, to produce financial difficulties If all the projects are carried out it will add more than million of dollars to the city debt. Of course there will be no trouble in bor- rowing the money, the expense of printing the bonds will be small and the mayor and controller have plenty of time to sign them. There is nothing but the interest to pay, till when due twenty or thirty years hence, when many of us will be dead Sufficient to the day is the evil thereof" The in difference to consequences on this line is alarming. The Board of Aldermen have voted almost unanimously not to oppose the Mill river drawbridge at Grand avenue, if it can be deferred two years, so when the army officer comes here, and interested parties are clanl- bring for 1t, the city is estopped from opposing it. We have a public library in the very best location for it in the city, where all the cars center, and it is proposed to move it on the green, and, in white marble, make q Grecian tenn pie in memory of that other one, the old state house, at an expense of not less than three hundred thousand dol lars. which, when done, would be quite inconvenient for the public. We can- not have everything we think we need, and can get along for while with the present library, when it may be wise to try for property adjoining the pres ent site, which is just what is wanted, and not in a Greeian temple on the Green. There may be some reason for. the extension of Crown street, but it is not half as necessary as some other things, which may have to wait these many years, especially as property seems to have more than doubled in that vicinity since shrewd real estate

What is . NavleabIe Stream 2

To Editor of the Journal and Courier
 In continuation of what I wrote some time ago, it has become of great impor- tance to our city and many other places that we have a clear definition of what, in the mind of the national government, Cor some army ofFicer) constitutes a "navigable stream" It is of especial importance to our city, as we seem to be blessed, or cursed, (ac- cording as interested parties look at it,) with some three or four small streams of water flowing into the Sound. What depth and width make a stream ''navigable?' Streams decrease in width and depth as we ascend them Is it as far as the tides set up? If so we may be called on for bridge on the Quinnipiac river at Middletown avenue, and more above to accommo- date the brick makers of North Haven all with draws, and the railroad com- pany for two draws If there is drawerbridge at Grand avenue cannot some one claim that Mill river is navi- gable at Humphrey street, and then at State street, and Orange, and so on to Whitneyville'? We have built a bridge at Kimberly avenue, but above that there is already In addition to two rail- roads, public roads before reaching Whalley avenue crossing West river,
 If we are bound hand and foot in this matter, at the tender mercfes of some army officer, at least let us know, so we may plan accordingly, how much water makes a navigable stream. This matter Is of great importance at this time, when there are so many projects for spending vast sums of the taxpay- CTS money. In all these matters, 1t is. not only the first coat, but the expense of perpetual maintenance. Usually in making public improvements benefits to property owners are assessed as well as damages, and if almost worthless land is increased many times in value by such Improvements, should not those benefited pay the cost, and not others who receive no benefit from the outlay? That is the general rule in public matters of this kind. This is of vital moment at the present time, The wild dreamers who think that New Haven will be another New York, and that all the tide land around this city will some time be needed for commerce and cut up with canals, with scores of drawuridges, should be allowed to dream on, while sensible people strive for better things.

A SAD BEREAVEMENT.

The large number of friends of MT. and Mrs. Julius Gallery will deeply sympathize with them in the death of their daughter Margaret, very bright and interesting child, who died at the home of her parents on Nash street yes- terday noon, after an Illness of a few days with reritonitis. She was pupil at the Lowell school and a favorite with her teachers and the scholars, who will much miss her and grieve at her death. Her father is of the firm of Geier, Gal lery & Cieier, of Edwards street. All that medical skill and most devoted care could do we're unavailing to save the child's life She leaves, besides her parents, an older sister, Nettie, of tbe high school, and a little brother.

SHEA CAPTURED ON RETURN.

Skipped Bonds in November and Re-
 turned One Day Before They Are
 Due
 In accord with the mysterious disap- pearance and reappearance of life is the story of the arrest of Patrick J. Shea in this city yesterday afternoon. Shea was arrested last November on a charge of highway robbery. He was held for attacking and knocking down two colore6 girls on the street, from whom he took a pocketbook cntaining abut $S.
 Shea was given his freedm on bonds of $7OO. He skipped town. Nothing further was heard of him by the police until yesterday afternoon.
 While Assistant City Attorney Hoyt was busy in the city attorneys office a man came in under the influence of liquor. Attorney Hoyt, on questioning him. discovered that it was the miss ing Shea. He gave information to the police department, and with the assist ance of Officer Cohee, Shea was locked up. He faces the charge of highway robbery for his offense in November and of drunkenness.
 A curious incident in connection with the case is the fact that the bonds, which were extended in favor of the lbondsman, were due to be paid to-day. As the result of the arrest the bonds man will now be relieved of his respon- sibility Te1e new bonds have been fixed at 5000,

Prof. DavAs of Harvard We'll Received
 at College Street Hall Last Night.
 Prof William M Davis of Harvard university delivered an illustrated lec- ture alt College street hall last evening on "The Canyon of the Colorado" A large audience listened to the learned portrayal of this wonderful work of na- ture and the beautiful pictures, illus trated the story of the building of the canyon and up the plateau. This can yon varies from 2000 to 5000 feet in depth, with the river flowing beneath He said the canyon was not really a crack in the earth as was once believed, but was the work of the river wearing away the hard rock for centuries. He spoke of the formation of the rocks themselves, remarking that this period must have anhidated the formation of the canyon, by wonderfully long space of time Prof. Davis told the story in a way that showedI that he had made an exhaustive study of his subject.

DORSCHT CONCERT PROGRAM
SOME OF THE BRILLIANT NUM-
 BERS TO BE GIVEN

Famous Overture "Semiramide," by
 Rossini, and "AttiIa," by Verdi-Miss
 Elizabeth HanIey, Soprano, to Sing
 "The Four Leaf Clover7 and 'sThe
 Nightingale"-ThrilI Number by
 William HegeI, PIccaIO, and m In-
 spiring One by signor Bovine, COr-
 netist.
 The programme for the last Dorscht concert of the season at the New Haven theater Sunday evening will be one of the most interesting and brilliant in the history of these popular musical treats. The selections chosen by Frank Fichtl leader of the Second Regiment band are all of unusual interest and repre- sent the very best of some of the worlds famous composers.
 For an instance is the famous over- ture "Semiramide," by that exquisite composer Rossini, and "Attila,' by the great Verdi ohe of the most beautiful selections from his fertile brain. What more delightful can be imagined than the 'Larks' Festival" by Brewer, espe- cially arranged for the piccolo and which will be rendered with band ac- compartment by that sterling perform CT William H. Hegel
 Still another selection that is sure to capture the popular fancy, and one quite appropriate to the season, coming the day after St. Patrick's day, is "A New Irish Rhapsodie," by Witte. MT. Fichtl says this is very stirring, and of no less interest will be the cornet solo, 'The American Standard" by Sig nor Bovine, of Waterbury and the idyl from 'Lysistrata, glowworm by Lincke, which will be new to New Ha- veners.
 To fill to overflowing a concert of treats-a triple-soloist event-will be the appearance of Miss Elizabeth Han ley, soprano of the New Haven Choral union. Besides very charming pres ence, Miss Hanley possesses voice that is especially beautiful for it's per feet naturalness and sweetness. She will sing the exquisite 'Four-Leaf Clover" by Brownell, and the thrilling Nightingale" by Nevin.

this IS so, will the owners of property in that vicinity be willing to have their assessment raised double, as a true cash value' If We are to do anything in this line, perhaps now is 9 favora- ble time, while the railroad improve ments are going on, to extend Hum phrey street, and build the bridge there, if other things less pressing are deferred few years.
 Space will not permit taking up the many other things called for, but there is not one of them that is of pressln necessity, and, if ever done, ought to wait for those more needful The pres ent permanent debt of the city should not be increased much. What it is de- creased from year to year by the sink ing fund will be more than offset by things that are absolutely necessary, like sewers. and other public improve ments, to be paid for in the future. On most kinds of taxable property the net income from its marketable value has much increased of late years, reducing the ability to pay taxes on it, so that the rate in this city is high one, and should certainly never exceed fifteen mills, but it would have to be above this if one-half of what is clamored for is granted. The rich can afford high taxes, and the poor think they do not pay any, but much of the money comes from those who, like the writer, find it, if not burden. at least quite incon- venient. If New Haven is not as fine a. city as Paris, it IS, after all, good place for rich people. Let us strive to keep it so poor people can live here I know that articles like this bring praise from the few, but derision from the many, who prefer, so ong as we can borrow, to eat, drink and bS merry, for tomorrow we die" Some kindred matters that shoud not be forgotten, are reserved for another article.

MISS ANTHONY WAS WELL DRESS
 ED,

Years ago, at the time of the move ment in behalf of the boomer cos- tune, Miss. Anthony was a leader in the innovation. In those early days the newspapers, paid a great deal of attention suffragists. The. motive prob ably was to frighten women into the belief that brains and beauty were in- compatible At all events, the pub lished reports always made Miss, An thony and her friends out monsters of such hideous mien, sartorially speak ing, that strong men shudered at the sight. The fact is, except for a brief enthusiasm for the bloomer costume, which, in the era of hoopskirts, made have secretly allured many anti-suf- fragists, Miss Anthony was always dressed extremely well. She was born a Quaker and naturally preferred simple style But she was always a very pink of neatness and she had natural liking for dainty raiment. In her old age she was positively dressy. She wore soft black gowns that trailed on the floor and were modishly built. She had a fondness for pliable satins and soft silk fabrics, and her like for beautiful lace was well known. At the recent Baltimore convention she wore satin gown with a great deal ot white point lace on the bodice and sleeves. Her hands were ringless, but she wore a jeweled brooch and some very handsome shell combs in her white hair. Her long coat was lined with rich white satin, and her bonnet was made by a clever milliner. No one could accuse Miss Anthony at S6 of being dowy.-New Bedford Standard.
