NASHVILLE GENEROUS.
Large Sum from There for Home for
 the Friendless.

The committee in charge of the Home for the Friendless' recent donation day was agreeably surprised yesterday when the Thirteenth ward or the vil- lege of Westville. turned over it's do- nations, and they were found to run up to $145. For a single ward forming one of the outlying districts of the city, this is very gratifying amount. It is much in excess of anything ever raised before in that ward for this charity Last years Westville donation of SPA was considered very large, and this years gift, therefore. is much in excess of last years big figures.
 Probably in no part of the city was the soliciting carried on under greater difficulties, owing to the rain. than in Westville, where a large part of the territory is sparsely settled, and the roads very heavy. All the greater credit is due to the Westville solicitors for their arduous productive work Mir. James Sinclair, whose name for several years has been connected with the so- liciting force of both the orphan asy- lum and Home for the Frlendless. was chairman of the Westville soliciting corps, and had entire charge of the canvass. Only three wards in the city raised more than Westville for the Home for the F'riendless. They arc the First, Eighth and Ninth. Conspic- uous among the Westville donations are the generous gifts of the manufactorles and their employees. Of these the Griest Manufacturing Go. leads, that company and it's employees giving over SAT.
 The donation committee entertains no doubt now that this years gifts will be fully as large as last.

FROM TIE COURTS. AGAINST FOOTF co. Washburn in Court Over Unsatisfactory Judgment
 Other Cases.

Attorney William A. Wright on be- half of George I. Wilcox of Groton, made an application in the probate court to have A. Foote & Co., fish dealers in State street, declared inyol- vent.
 This is the second creditor who has come to the front since the disappear ance of Edward Foote, the president of the firm, on Memorial day. Wilcox claims an indebtedness of $70O. When Sheriff Goodhart went to the store to make an attachment he found nothing to attach the entire property being un- der attachment already in an action of New York wholesale merchant.
 Judge Studley set June F as the date for a hearing on the petition.
 Insolvency proceedings in the probate court are rare nowadays.

mems Association.
 W. B. Perkins, the assistant chief of the New Haven Fire department and first vice president of the State Fire mems association is slated for election as chief of that organization at the annual session which is to be held here August 6 and 2. A majority of the 300 delegates who will come to this city at that time will be in favor of the advancement of the local man.
 There is likely to be spirited con- test over the position of secretary of the association. Robert T. Magee of Waterbury is now acting secretary, he temporarily filling the place made va- cant by the death of John s. Jones of Westport. Magee will be, a candidate for permanent appointment and three or four other candidates will in all like lihood get into the race.
 New Haven firemen will give the vis- itors a royal welcome and provide elab- crate entertainment. They are already making plans for greeting the visitors and will be sure the plans are enforc- ed. The board of fire commissioners at an early forthcoming meeting will also make arrangements for the enter tainment of the delegates,

\ Gosd Suggestion.


 To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Allow me to make a suggestion for the immediate Identification of our city which was not mentioned by MT. Sey- mour The billboards which grace lots on Whitney avenue and other residen- tial streets could be ornamented in va rlous ways-first by shrubbery and vines, thus combining nature and art; then again, by a privet hedge, which would convey the idea of exclusiveness. But as either or both of these plans might be objected to by the owners of the boards, why not q weeping willow planted at the apex of the triangle in full view from the street? This would be most appropriate, as suggesting sor- row that such monstrosities are allow led, to the detrinent of all adjacent property and the disgust of all good |citizens. J. B. HUDSON.

Amnlrs of o. D. washburn.

Before Judge Wolfe there was con- ducted an examination into the affairs of Oliver D. Washburn against whom there is an unsatisf1ed Judgment for $2O6 in the suit brought by Matthew c. Flanagan. It is provided by statute that such an inquiry may be made to determine mans ability to satisfy a Judgment, but it is seldom done. The suit was over note and Washburns visible property was transferred to his wife before the note matured. Attor- neyl Reynolds represents Flanagan and Fitzgerald and Walsh the defendant.

The city Of Municb

Munich is one of the most beautiful
cities In Europe, with broad streets,
frequent fountains, many stately stat
ues, numerous open squares, large
wooded parks, swift river flowing
directly through the center of the
residence section, galleries that contain
several Of the finest recollections of
pictures and sculpture in the world, IL
braries, academies of design, schools
OF science, a magnificent opera house,
theater that was erected exclusively
for the production Of Wagner's operas,
and various other attractions which do
not disturb the classic atmosphere,
but appeal to the artist, the student
and whoever seeks for beauty and for
rest. No city OF equal size has so many
noble monuments and public buildings.
while probably larger number of
the population of Munich is engaged
In study and artistic and scientific pur-
suits than may be found in any other
city. The Royal library is one of the
greatest lin existence, probably second
only to the British museum William

The belief that the hours of sleep
should be artiticially restricted is con-
,trary to ordinary good sense. 20 If the
human body does not need sleep for
the upbuilding of its tissues it will not
call for it. a rule Of health which can
not be wrong is to sleep if possible as
long as any inclination for it exists.
The erroneous view on this subject is
undoubtedly due to the fact that when
the mind and body are thoroughly rest
ed it is often difficult to arouse the
mind from It's comfortable lethargy.
On the other hand, the man who Is
under a mental strain and sleeps only
five or six hours at night is keen and
alert soon after awakening. But 1t is
nn unhealthy activity. His nerves are
ut a high tension. He is on edge, so to
speak. Such a strain long continued
results inevitably in n nervous break

Wells nv Weather Prophets.

A popular idea in Switzerland that
some of the wells in that country arc
reliable weather prophets has been

Of weather prophecy the wells We're

the barometer falls The air rushes out.

easy to perceive, even without the
gauge. The general tendency of the

Railroad Wrecks can be Reduced.

Many railroad wrecks are caused
by engineers running past danger
signals. Accidents due to such lal
es on the part Of engineers could
be easily avoided by device which
would set the brakes of train
whenever it attempted to pass a
danger signal. The device might
be 30 arranged that whenever the
signal was turned to indicate dan
ger, it would automatically set a
sort of trap, which the approach OF
OF an engine would trip and cause
a lever to rise up and set the air
brakes on the train. Such a device
would stop a train automatically and
make it impossible for an engineer
to run past a danger signal. II
could be SO arranged that the turn
ing of the signal to safety would
throw the device out of gear.

Mary Ander.on.. Voice.

Miss Anderson's voice was always
her predominant charm. Certain tones
in it-so thrilling, SO full of wild pas

exponent of the soul. You can paint
your face, you can pad your person.

shoes that augment your height, you
can in various ways change your body.

hickory frees,

It is rather pity that our hickories
should receive highest appreciation
from US when they are yielding up
their substance in roaring flames in our
fireplaces. For nowhere in the forest
world can we find a genus of trees
that is, as a whole. more. attractive
and valuable than the genus hicoria,
Most of the hickories are beautiful i'll
summer when their glossy foliage is at
Its best. In autumn this foliage turns
the color of uncoined gold, and when
bare of leaves there is revealed an
oaklike twist to the branches which
makes these trees most picturesque
and beautiful objects in the winter
landscape. We have never made as
much commercially of the nuts as we
might well have done. Our Indian
predecessors knew how to make a
most attractive beverage from them,
and the, early, settlers pressed from
them an oil that was a luxury. The
pecan is the only hickory species that
has beer developed and cultivated to
any extent, znnd this has only recently
begun its career as cultivated tree
