COUNTY HOME PLANS.
Structure to Cost s1OO,OOO and Accom-
 modate 200.

Plans for the new county home to be erected at Allingtown have been ap- proved by the legislative committee ap- pointed tc arrange for the erection of the building and early in January the county representatives will be called together in this city to look over the plans and make suggestions if they deem changes advisable.
 The buildings will cost about $100,000, and the location has cost additionally $11550 The main building will be zoo feet long and three and one~half stories high. There will be two wings and an annex In the annex will be ayhospital fitted up for the sick, with physicians and nurses quarters.
 Tn all the institution will accommo- date 200 children. The present home in Shelton avenue accommodates only 50. It is likely that even with the extra accommodations at the new institution it will be necessary to board out some of the children committed to the home, as the commitments are increasing rap idlye1
 In the'last six months more children have been sent to the county home than in a whole year previously
 The new county home will be of brick and built in the Colonial style. It will be an imposing structure. There will be four school rooms in it, bath rooms, toilet rooms, complete kitchen department, dining room, large lecture room, etc,
 The sanitary arrangement will be of the best. The ventilation and lighting will be according to the most improved methods
 The committee in charge of the con- struction of the institution is com posed of County Commissioners Walter, Thompson and Geddes, Senator Blakes- lee and Representatives Tibbitts of Wallingford and Gum of Milford.

HAYDEN sUNsHINERs' PARTY.
Brewster Branch Gave Children
 Novel Entertainment.

The Brewster branch of the Sun shine society in Hamden gave the children a novel party in the shape of Christmas laundry presided over by Santa Claus, who was well represent ed by Thomas Means of New Haven. Santa gave an interesting talk in which he showed a marvellous insight into the Sunshine work done by the children, and was listened to with rapt attention and happy faces by both young and old After their present everyone received an orange from santas bag, and Santa himself in spected the bulletin board, where the best twenty-five acts reported by the children were printed. A vote by the children themselves was suggested by Santa Claus, and the majority voted for No. 2S, viz: Helping an elderly lady who was in danger of being run over by an electric car" This proved to belong to Eyon Descheneaux, so that the young lady will receive a years subscription to the Sunshine Bulletin.
 A pleasant feature of the occasion was 8 surprise to the director of the branch. A pretty picture in most sunshiny frame was presented to her by Santa Claus from the children of the Sunshine society. The loving thought of the teachers and children for her pleasure gave her great hap piness, although in her surprise she was capable of saying nothing but thank you.
 A short program, consisting of songs and recitations by the children, fol- lowed, after which all sat down to tables prettily decorated for the oc- casion by young people who only 2 year or two ago belonged to the chil- drens branch themselves.
 Sandwiches, cake and cocoa had been generously provided by the la dies of the place, and the children showed their appreciation of the good time provided for them by remaining and helping in the general cleaning uI after the feast.

A MIDNIGHT THEATER.
Play Began in London at a. m. to
 Test Demand for New Hours.

London. Dec. 2s The spectacle of a distinguished frst-night audience set ting themselves comfortably in their stalls to witness the production of a play beginning one hour after mid night was presented yesterday morn ing at the Court theater.
 In some quarters the experiment was looked upon as sort of feeler to ob- tain the sentiment of the public on the question of a midnight theater as a permanent institution. with view to starting an agitation to amend the law. One or two managers have declared that in their opinion London would handsomely support a. theater raising the curtain after midnight, arguing that not only would the patrons be re- cruited from the great number of night workers who seldom get to the theater, but also from the growing number of people, including society night owls, who throng the fashionable restaurants at dinner until 10 o'clock in the even ing, and are thus too late to attend plays beginning at the usual time.

MEL1EN PFssINnsrIc.
Prosperity Assassinated and Business
 sandbagged. He Declares.

President Charles S. Mellen, of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad. was the principal speaker at the municipal banquet to the retiring members of the board of common council of Providence Saturday night. President Mellen said in part:
 'The greatest asset of a public ser vice corporation is the good will and confidence of the community. am satisfied that this company cannot prosper unless it has the endorsement and good will of the people. Let me tell you why we want the good win. of your city It is the second in size in New England and exceeds the great city of New York in the number of passengers it gives to us daily, and is second only to that great city of Bos- ton. It is a close second to the metrop- olis in the amount of freight
 Remember that prosgerity has been assassinated, business has been sand bagged, and we are in an era of de- pression, and I anticipate unfortunate results for the year to come, Do not think am foolish enough to think a public service corporation like ours will ever do it's business without giv- ing much cause for complaint. It is the desire of the management that we pass through this period of depression without impairment of any of the con- ditions affecting our employes-in other words, without 8 reduction in wages. You can help us in attaining this end by yielding of your conveniences just a little here and there. We want to make curtailment, if necessary, in the places which can most afford it."

now to be sure of him means the up lifting of every faculty, the cultivation of every spiritual grace. We have all seen great men, but we did not know them. And there are great men whom we have not seen that we do know. We know Robert Browning and Ten nyson and Whittier and Dante and St. Paul. Why, these men are our daily companions. We know their innermost heart; we know them at their highest levels. Do we not know God? Bush nell was clearly right when he said that he knew Jesus Christ better than any man in Hartford It was Jesus himself who said, in substance, to some of his own countrymen: You do not know God; you cannot understand his heart because you do not probe the depths of your own life. What one of you" and here he threw them back upon themselves, What one of you would not suffer anything for one he loved?" Who can doubt, when he reads the depths of his own heart, that there he may learn not only that God is, but also what he is like? Can anyone read the story of the Good Samaritan, or the Prodigal Son, or the Sermon on the Mount, and not know what kind of God is ours? Or better. can you see the last sacrifice of some noble heart and doubt that God is more than that? As Browning makes David say con- corning Saul:
 'fDo I find love so full in my nature,
 Gods ultimate gift
 That 1 doubt that his own love can
 compete with it? Here, the
 parts shift? ..
 See the King-I would help him from
 sorrow, grow poor to enrich, To fill up his life starve my own out,
 I knowing which.
 l know that my service is perfect. Oh,
 speak through me now!
 Would I suffer for him that love?
 So wouldst thou-so wilt thou- So shall crown thee rne topmost, in
 effablest, uttermost crown And thy love fill infinitude wholly, nor
 leave up nor down
 One spot for the creature to stand
 in!"
 It seems as though God had hidden himself for this very purpose, that the only perception of him should be a spiritual perception resulting from the training and cultivation of all the graces of life. If you would be sure of God pitch your life to his high key. If we are in accord with the eternal harmonies, there will be no doubt about the commerce between the human and the divine. Some may doubt, others may deny, but it will be enough for us that we have listened and heard; enough that our ear has caught the music.

NEW YEAR THOUGHT Rev. H. E. Wilson Breaches on How We Gan be Sure A1.
 of God.
NEED OF A GREAT FAITH
May Know God and Strive to be Like
 Him, Though We Have Not Seen Him.

fH~
 \ At the Epworth M. E. church yester- day morning Rev, Harold E. Wilson, pastor, preached a New Years sermon on the topic 'How Can We Be Sure of God?"
 Job 23:Sand 8, g:
 ''Oh that I knew where I might find
 him!
 That might come even to his seat... Behold, I go forward, but he is not
 there;
 And backward but I cannot perceive
 him;
 On the left hand, when he doth work,
 but I cannot behold him; He hideth himself on the right hand,
 that I cannot see him."
 We are far removed from this plaint in point of time, but not, perhaps, in the matter of experience. Who has aver despised the saying of Philip, Show us the Father, and it sufficeth us"9 How many of us have not had an inner craving for a revelation of God such that nevernore might the shadow of doubt or uncertainty cross the mind? If we could have one thing with which to begin the New Year, what greater could we wish than this certainty of God? Why is life so con stituted that we can have no outward proof? Why is God not made to us as plain as the sun in the heavens? |. How can we be sure of patriot ism? Does such thing really exist? Who knows? Surely not he
 with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said: This is my own, my native land" l will tell you who Is sure of patriot ism. He who has acted upon it; he who has risked life and fortune for the honor of his country. Or, who is sure of love? Love that wells from the holiest springs of the heart, and sets the whole life aglow with di- vine fire. How gan you be sure of it? There is only one way, and that is to let it kindle your own soul And could you be more sure of love by any tes- timony other than the witness of your own heart?
 3, Now how can we begin the year sure of God? By acting as if he were. There is no other way. You cannot satisfy yourself by logic, or by an ex- animation of the evidences. It is by striving to live His life that certainty comes to us. There was never yet a great faith that did not have ultimate ly as it's foundation great life. If you would have no doubt go out into the New Year to do the will of God as you have never done it before.
 g. And is it not possible to see why God has not been made as clear to us as the sun? Is it not because the greatest thing is not to be sure of God, but to become like hsss? What would t profit if we X1x see God face s',.

BRowNsoN's SUCCESSOR.
Captain Winslow, Who Attained Fame
 by Gallantry at Cienfuegos.

Washington, Dec. 29. The officer des- ignated to succeed Admiral Brownson is Captain Cameron McR. winslow, one of the younger officers of the navy, and one with a brilliant record. He is a nephew of the Winslow wf1o command ed the Kearsarge when that vessel sunk the confederate cruiser Alabama off Cherbourg during the latter days of the civil war. This relative of that dis tinguished officer attained fame all most as great by his conspicuous gall lantry in cutting the cables off Cien- fuegos during the war with Spain. Op- erating in an open boat, close inshore and under the fire of whole regiment of Spanish infantry. he coolly kept at the work until 1t had been accom- plished.
