likely to be needed by the hired help
than one which he must stop and

and hold the gate as soon as it is
closed.

RINGLrNG BROTHERS, SHOW.
It Has m Array of Foreign Talent New
 to America.

The greatest circus in the world and that is Ringling Brothers'-is an- nounced for two performances in New Haven, Wednesday, June 19.
 Since its last engagement in this neighborhood this great enterprise has grown to such an extent that the ques- tion of transporting 1t from place to place is taxing the railroads to the limit. As great as its size, are the many acts which go to make up a program that all other shows combined cannot equal. It is all novelty from start to finish-nothing to be seen that was ever before presented. From the land of turquoise sky comes also Daisy Hodgini, the worlds greatest woman bareback rider; the Borsenis, who do an acrobatic act while balancing on rolling globes, and Rieeobono with his marvellous horses. one of which pulls off boots and trousers, lights a candle and goes to it's bed.
 Persit has sent to this show the greatest acrobatic act the world has ever seen--that of the Mirze Golem troupe, who perform on pedestals. From France have come the Legard acrobats, whose work is not like any thing ever seen in this country, and the Patty brothers who walk on their heads with their hands held tight to their hips. In Germany was found the De Rock trio, with a dog that sits upright on the head of one and holds another man upside down, balancing with his head to the dogs head. It is like the ordinary three-high standing act-with dog in the middle.
 In Spain were engaged twelve great performers whose acts are especially attractive. Principal of these are the Marnello-Marnite quartet of acrobats, who, with bells fastened to their arms and legs, play operatic music while turning handsprings and double som- ersaults. Others are Alvarez, re- markable acrobatic head balancer; the Toreadors, who do grotesque bull fight that provokes great laughter, and Marno, the funniest of clown gym nasts. The Holloway family, perform ing most wonderful feats on a high wire, are of English importation,
 Besides these are the Bedini family, the worlds greatest riders; the Clark onians, the best aerialists who ever lived; the BeIfords, presenting a new and sensational acrobatic act; the Kaufn1ann family of unicyle riders; the Jordans,i in. the biggest trapeze act ever presented, and Marguerite and Han1ey. famous in the old world for an original conception that dehes de- scription.
 Novelty is the dominant note of the great circus. It has nothing about it that anyone in this country has ever seen before.

GETS NO MORE MONEY FOR CITY LABORERs'
Finance Board Tells Coe to Keep Within Appro-
 priation.

The board of finance has decided that, for the present at least, no more money shall be transferred by it to the department of public works to compen- sate for the extra strain on it's finances caused by the increase in the pay of the laborers, and that consequently un- der the new rates of pay a schedule of less days labor will have to be adopted in that department during the rest of the fiscal year. The board agreed yes terday afternoon, without taking a for nal vote on the matter, to verbally in- form Director Coe that there are no funds available outside of the depart ment, and that he must govern himself accordingly. This action was taken in response to a communication from the director announcing that the increased wages would require curtailment of the work planned, and that in connec- tion with the probable increase in NSe1AAiotStS Pely tilS uCpeil llllSll was dl a loss to know how it was coming out.
 It was moved at once to lay the com Imunication on the table, but Controller Rowe thought some definite action should be taken at once. He remarked that the payment of the increase was not discretionary with Director Coe, and that the question that the latter evidently wished decided was whether he must make the payments out of the funds in his department or whether he could obtain outside aid
 It was the general opinion that It would be impossible to locate sufficient money to meet all the increases de- manded at present, and that one should not be favored over the others. Mr. Lewis thought the director should be given to understand that he must keep within his appropriation. Messrs. Lew is, Herz and Townshend announced that they were opposed to transferring any large amounts to departments for the purpose of allowing increases in pay.
 The schedule of increases in the fire department submitted by the fire com missioners some weeks ago and laid on the table was taken off the table and again laid over, with two weeks as a definite time to take it up again,

 be Shown.
SOME FINE SPECIMENS

The annual exhibition of the work done by the members of the manual wood workers class of the boys club of the Organized Charities will be held in the club room, 200 Orange street, from o'clock until g this evening. A general invitation to the public to in- spect the work of the lads is cordially extended The class has enrolled about 150 members of the boys club who have become interested in the making of useful cabinet work and wood work and has been in session each night in the week under the direction of Rich ard Irving, who is now completing his third year as director.
 The years work is now completed and according to the annual custom the work done will be placed fo. pub- lie inspection. The exhibition will be e highly interesting one and will show to what an extent some of these young boys can be trained for useful work by careful direction. The progress of the class from the earliest pieces of work consisting of the endeavors to plane one straight edge of piece of wood up through the making of the first crude but namable articles to the productions of pieces of really first class furniture will be displayed Among the exhibits which will be shown Is very hand some and beautifully constructed desk. Other articles to which the boys Will point with pride are a mission finish Morris chair, umbrella stands, tabou- rets. book shelves and a fine window seat made and sold by one of the boys
 Taking the boys from the most un- couth conditions and most of them ut terly ignorant of the first principles of handling tools and of woodwork and producing such results speaks we'll not only for the innate capacities of the youths themselves but for the patience and ability of MT Irving, Those who spend little time with the boys to- night will be amply repaid.

NOT SUPPORTING UNION.
Center Church of New Haven withholds
 Approval.

The plan of union of Protestant Methodists, the United Brethren and the congregationalists is now being submitted to the individual Congrega- tional churches of Connecticut.
 The historic Center church of this city of which the Rev. Dr. Newman Smyth is pastor, has passed resolutions withholding approval of the plan. The reasons given are that the natural working and effect of such a union would directly tend towards the build- ing up ofa new denomination no longer Congregational, with a less elastic anu harder ecclesiastical polity than we or our fathers have ever known" and, further, the giving up by US, in the manner proposed, of our distinctive Congregational principles, would not prove to be the positive contribution which we as a Congregational body are called by our past to give to the unity of the church of the future"
 The South church in Hartford, the Rev Edward Pond Parker pastor, has also voted against the proposed union,
