ROSE HILL HOUSE
May Be Purchased By Club and
 Used as GywDasium.

After few years more Rose Hill Hose company's house will be thing of the past so far as volun- teer fire station goes, and the ques- ton now being talked of in that dis trict is what disposition will be made of the building, It would make an ideal place for a first class gym nasium and already a number or young men interested in athletics are talking of making an effort to lease it for that purpose. The question they are wrestling with is, can 1t be leased for a number of years with the understanding that the organiza- tion would buy 1t at the expiration of the lease, or will the city want to sell it as soon as it Is vacated and convert it into cash? There is no reason why any objection should be made to lease with this condition or without it. The old Brooklyn house is still standing and it doesn't appear that the city ever realized anything out of it. For this reason many claim that 1t would be wise move on the part of the city fathers to rent it for a time and probably after few years the board of pub lie safety might need it for some other purpose which may not ap- pear just now. In any case 1t will do no harm to have talk with the authorities and see what can be
 done, if anything, towards securing it for athletic purposes.

BOARD OF FINANCE
Met Last Night and Again To-
 Day 10 Talk on Money.

The department of finance held . long session last night and after 2 few hours sleep they got into the harness again to-day and finished the work on the estimates. The board recommended that all the money for sidewalks be raised in the first taxa- tion district. This is very small im- provement on the old plan, but con- sidering the danger of running count CT with the town clubs probably the commissioners deserve credit for do- ing even that.
 The special appropriation of $17,- 800 asked for by the board of public works for Clark street was cut out altogether, the understanding reach ed being that 1t was not fair for out going boards to tie the hands of their successors, so that this Clark street project will be up to the new board of aldermen, unless the present board puts back the item when the approprl- ations reach them for final adoption. The same action was taken with re- ference to Cooke street. In fact no special appropriations were made for street work, but liberal amount was agreed upon for that department and when the time comes to draw upon It the new board of public works instead of the present one will be in a posi- | tion to say what is best to do with It. Of course the old board may turn out to be the new board, but even so the | of hnlInVpS fn1E out going boards should not be per- mitted to reach too far into an admin istration that they possibly may have very little to do with. | No money was recommended for new high school and no provision was made for an assistant truant offlcerl Neither was anything set down for the Bronson library fund, some of the members being of the opinion that this story book matter is being work ed too we'll in the schools for the good of the pupils, who cannot afford to
 remain in the class room very long.
 This will not please President John O'Neill of the Silas Bronson library
 and Miss Sperry, the librarian, but
 the city financiers don't appear to care and make no bones of stating
 that there is a limit to what people
 can afford to pay in taxes and that
 this is good place to economlze.
 It isn't likely that there will be
 any battle over the crematory. The
 board thinks they ought to be accus-
 toned to it in Waterville by this time
 and that with little repairs the
 plant will meet the requirements of
 the city for some time. With this end
 in view it was decided to make an ap-
 propriation of S11,000 for the crem- atory and let the department do the
 best it can with it. They saw that it would be almost impossible to force it into South Brooklyn and the powers that be are not yet satisfied
 that they would want it in the city
 yard.
 Provision was made for about four new policemen, but whether one will
 be a sergeant or not is something | which will have to be determined by the aldermen when they get to it. The commissioners were not quite through at press hour, but from the t looks of things the rate of taxation will not be less than fifteen mills on
 the dollars, which is three-tenths of 8
 mill in excess of that of last year.

A Tennvson GrowI,

In Walter Cranes autobiography he gives an interesting picture of Tenny- son. It was at a dinner party at the Rev. Stopford Brooke's and the poet was reading to the company his Bal lad of the Fleet lin his deep, impress i've voice in a way which reminded me of his own description ill the 'Morte d'Arthur' of how the poet Everard Hall (which may have been himself) Read, mouthing out his hollow o's and as,
 Deep chested music"
 When the reading was finished and when the applause and gratitude of the small audience had subsided the laureate growled out, Yes, and to think that these wretched fellows of the nineteenth century gave me only S1, ,500 for it."

Eatina on the Train In Spain.

As even express trains seldom att tain a higher rate of speed than twen- ty-fve miles per hour travel is slow and tedious, though fairly comfort able. and to enjoy Spain one must as- sume the leisurely indifference of the Spaniard to whom manana is always the chosen time. He is wise who car-i ries his own luncheons. and never are, dainty tea baskets more indispensable, than on these long journeys. Spanish etiquette demands that the traveller before partaking of his food must po- litely offer 1t to those who share the compartment with him. It may either be graciously accepted or declined. In no country is it so difficult to travel and to secure information. as but litI tic English is spoken even by im-l portant oficials.-Travel Magazine.

THE POLICE COURT.
Man Who Stole Umbrellas Given

Patrick Calvin helped himself to an umbrella worth $1.25 from Samuel Freedman's store on Bank street yes terday while it was raining. Then he went and sold it for thirty cents, after which he refreshed himself un- til he was tired, whereupon, feeling the need of another umbrella, he was making his selection at Freedman s again when Detective Keegan came upon him and arrested him. In court to-day two old sentences of 50 and costs each were revived against him, and on the present case he was fined S5 and costs more and given thirty days in jail.
 Joseph Gidney was arrested in the works of the Scovill Manufacturing company this morning at 7:3O o'clock charged with beach of the peace. He got into a fight with another fellow on Locust street last Sunday evening. The case went over to tomorrow morning.
 Every time Samuel Van Wagner comes to town he takes a drop too much He did so yesterday after coming from Bradleyville. He was fined $10 and costs.
 Henry C. Godfrey was found sleep ing on the top floor of the Jones Morgan building yesterday. He was charged with intoxication and va grancy. Godfrey said he was in towI in response to an ad to work for Mir Smith in Watertown. He wa: sent fifty cents to go to Watertowr and he spent the mony in drink. H. was given a chance to go to Nil 1 Smiths.

Marriaos as a Failure.

There is more nonsense talked in the abstract about marriage as fail ure than is talked about any other branch of the conduct of life. If a census on the subject could be taken l am sure it would be found that the majority of married people jog along very comfortably and are much hap pier in their united state than they possibly could have been had they re- mained unmarried. The number of di- vorces is usually quoted to prove that marriage is a failure. but what, after all, is the number of divorces in pro- portion to a population of many mil lions of married people?-Mme. Sarah Grand in London Chronicle.

the denominational schools. where neither Jew nor infidel nor any one else need unwillingly enter, giving to each denomination it's proportion ate share in the levied taxes accord ing to numerical school strength, and in a state like Connecticut, where there is common fund for the good of all children Of school age. give each denomination the s225 for each child that in the pres ent system the school board does nothing for. and for whom it expends not one cent. The great objection to the denominational plan is it's sup posed impracticability. Robert r. Green. who. if mistake not, is well versed in the school affairs of New York. says of it, ''It is tried in Ger many and England and should be tried here" It Is no less than di- vision of the school funds, like pub gic charity and correctional funds among schools which shall be, like the public hospitals. non-sectaT1an- and also among those which shall be conducted under private auspices. like St Luke's and St Vinesnt's and Mt Sinai hospitals.
