SCHOOL SITE MONEY. WANT FIFTH WARD LOT Board of Finance is Asked for $12, 900 More to Pur-
 chase Land.

The first of the summer sessions of the board of finance was held yester- day afternoon in city hall, with Henry Farrell, Edward G. Frederick and George w. Lewis absentees, Most of the meeting was taken up with hear ing Dr. Henry A. Spang, who, with Secretary George T. Hewlett, appeared with a request from the board of edu- cation for an additional S12,O0O to be used, with $S,0Oo already appropriated. in securing a new school site in the Fifth ward, between the Eaton and Wooster districts, where the board de- slres to erect new grammar school to relieve the congested conditions.
 pr. spang told the board of finance that the board of education had lot in view which it desired to purchase after a careful looking over of the available lots in the district. He said that the lot in mind was one of six considered, and for it's size was the cheapest of all. He stated that the board of education was under the im- presslon that bond issue of $10O,O00 was to be authorized for the education department with which the new school could be built, and they thought that the $12,O0O could be secured In advance of the issue for securing the desired lot.
 Furthermore, he stated that six dou- ble sessions were now being held in the congested district, and that two more would soon be started. The need of the new school was very great, he stated, and it Is needed as soon as pos sible.
 It appears that the bond issue looked forward to is not an assured thing. Controller Rowe expressed himself against the bond issue and suggested a special tax as preferable measure, The board took no action on the mat ter yesterday.
 It was voted to refund $23.57 paid by Miss Bertha M. Bowler on property at CS1 Elm street. The sum was paid as back taxes.

GUILD ENTERTAINMENT.
Fine Time at st. PouIs Parish House.

Despite the copious precipta tion last evening, large number attended the annual entertainment of the Mothers guild of St. PauPs church, which was given last evening in the parish house.
 And they had no reason to regret 1t, for the entertainment was we'll worth going to see. Rev Mir. Perry, the rec tor, congratulated the members on the large number present, and said it look ed like a mothers and fathers club. He then announced the first number on the programme, a song by MT Fred erick Weld, entitled, Rose Adair. :" Then followed a sketch by Mrs, Leigh ton and Miss Richards. It was called 8 Marrow Escape" and was well acted, and attentively appreciated. "A Pair of Lunatics, by Mir. Williams and Miss Richards weathered severe brain storms and came to harbor of ap- plause and curtain calls.
 The singing by Mir. Weld, however, was the hit of the evening. His song, Father O'Flynn," was very much en- joyed, while a German ditty was very pleasing. His Rose ,Adair" portrayed a lovely sentiment and was sweetly rendered He was in excellent voice.
 After the entertainment reception followed, after which refreshments were served.
 All the clergy of the parish were present at the reception,

F. H. COCSWELL DEAD. AN AUTHOR OF NOTE Author of "Regicides" and a Number of Valuable
 Works.

The death of Frederick Hull Cogs- well, for twenty-three years official court stenographer for the superior court in New Haven, which occurred lat his home, 25 Norton street, yester- day, removes one of New Haven's most widely beloved literary men. Mir Cogs- well had been an invalid for about nine years, but was able to attend to his court duties until last winter, when a paralytic shock rendered him helpless Another shock overlook him last Sat urday and he was In too weakened a condition to recover from 1t.
 MT. Cogswell was born in East Pres ton, this state, of old Revolutionary stock, March II, 1859. He was the son of Egbert and Mary Eliza CogswelL He early Showed strong literary ten dency and was sent to the Suffield Lit erary institute, where he graduated with honor in 1881 He also attended the Yale Law school for a short time, but left to complete his studies at the University of Michigan.
 In 1882 he was married to Clara Knowles Wood, by whom he had three children. A year or two later Mir. Cogswell removed to New Haven and was appointed official court stenog- rapher, being the first and only one to hold that position. During this period MT. Cogswell was identified with the New Haven Register for a short time, but he soon gave that up and devoted himself entirely to stenography and literary work. In 1884 he published his "Compendium of Photography, which was recognized as standard work. This has proved to be one of the wid- est selling works on stenography, and Mir. Cognwell's system was widely adopted throughout the country.
 MT. Cogswell found time during these years to bring forth number of It. erary works of great value. His novel, "The Regicides," was the largest con- tribution to New Haven county histor- ical study for many years. He was working on another historical work at the time of his death. Besides "The Regicides,' Mir. Cogswel published "Art Works of New Haven" and made contributions to Historic Towns of New England" Most of his literary work had been done during the past fifteen years, while he resided in Wood bridge.
 MT. Cogswell leaves, besides his wife, three children-a daughter, Miss Olive Cogswell, and two sons, Clarence Hol- loway Cogswell, a junior in the Shelf | field Scientific school, and Frederick Hull Cogswell, jr., a sophomore in the academic department. He was mem- Der of United church, and was as stain less In character as his life was long and useful. He was forty eight years old.

Creed of the Hero.

It will never make any difference to a hero what the laws are. His great ness will shine and accomplish itself into the end, whether they second him or not. If he has earned his bread by drudgery. and in the narrow and crooked ways which were all an evil law had left him. he will make it at least honorable by his expenditure. Of the past he will take no heed, for its wrongs he will not hold himself re- sponsible; he will say, All the mean ness of my progenitors shall not de- prive me of the power to make this hour and company fair and fortunate. Whatsoever streams of power and commodity flow to me shall of me ac- quire healing virtue, and become foun- tains of safety. Cannot I, too, descend redeemer into nature? Whosoever
 hereafter shall name my name, shall not record a malefactor but a bene-
 factor in the earth. If there be power in good intention, in fidelity and in toll the north wind shall be purer. the stars in heaven shall glow with a kindlier beam, that I have lived. I am primarily engaged to myself to be a public servant to all the gods to dem onstate to all men that there is intel- ligence and good will at the heart of things, and ever higher and yet high CT leadings. These are my engage ments. how can your law further or hinder me in what I shall do to men? On the other hand, these dispositions establish their relations to me. Wher- ever there are men are the objects of my study and love. Sooner or later all men will be my friends and will testify in all methods the energy of their regard. I cannot thank your law for my protection. I protect 1t. It is not in its power to protect me- It is my business to make myself revered. depend upon my honor, my labor and my dispositions for my place in the af- lection of mankind, and not in any conventions or parchments of yours Emerson.
