BOARD MEETING.
Of the Edwin Bancroft Foote Boys
 Club.

At the meeting of the Edwin Ban croft Foote Boys club board of direc- tors held in the Boys club rooms on Thursday night the finance committee reported that during the month twen- ty-eight new subscribers had given $4125, and that seventy-four regular subscribers had given $132.50 towards the support of the work. This, with the membership fees and the endow- ment money received, made a total of $37164.
 The expenditures reported for the month were as follows; Shoe shop eX- penses, $1Z33; carpenters shop, $1O; gymnasium, $25; house expenses, $5S.OS; office supplies, $27.30; entertainment and music, $12,5O; salaries, $13O; light per contract, S46, which leaves bal ance on hand and all bills paid.
 The club for the past year has been run on a strictly cash basis, negotiatt ing no bills whatever only what they could see their way clear to pay month ly. There are great many things which the club is in need of, such as repairing part of the roof, repaintlng the interior, blaming the gymnasium floor, adding tools for the manual training and shoe shop, suits needed for the drum corps and arrangements for summer camp. However, none of these things will be attempted until the necessary funds are received to- wards guaranteeing their expense,
 TO,,,ipo tbo 4,7oati, tha pOIlapa committee reported that the six group clubs had held their meeting regularly, twice a week, as usual, and that the debates and group talks had aroused considerable interest among their mem- bers. The checker games, ping-pong and shuffle-board tournaments have been completed and prizes awarded. Three separate social gatherings have been conducted and plans are being made for a baseball tournament. The superintendent reported that the total attendance for the month had been 3192, or an average attendance of 1SS boys per evening, In the Penny Savings bank $17.17 have been receiv- ed, while S16.2O have been withdrawn Dy lH6 lduS lOWdIQS puICudoluS Ndll- ous wearing apparel and other things of their liking. In the shoe shop the boys have repaired their own shoes, and have brought in a number of those of their little brothers and sisters, and some lads have been avaricious enough to repair some of the!r neighbors shoes and charge a small fee for doing the same. The shoe shop is in charge of a competent and practical cobbler, who sees that the work of the boys is prop erly executed.
 During the month Frederick Adler has presented the club with a fine large American flag, and some drums have been given to the boys drum corps by Albert Greensperct. These gifts have added much interest and the lads are still hoping that some one in the near future will give them bass drum. A number of citizens have visited the club during the past month and the board of management wishes it thoroughly understood that the rooms are open for the inspection of all any evening, and would appreciate it if larger number would call and see what is actually be- ing done for the boys.

.INPOTENCY OF THE
 DEPUTY MAYOR ACT MT. Winchell Surprised at Authors Answer to His
 Criticism. ANOTHER STATEMENT. Supposed Chief Aim of the Bill Not the Aim
 at All.
ANOTHER STATEMENT.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 In criticising the proposed act to pro- vide for a deputy mayor my impress sion was that the aim in chief-the real motive power-was to avoid in future the official anomaly which now exists in New Haven, where the mayor holds two important offices at once. It was at the impotency of the act, as pub lished, to achieve that end, that my fault-finding was aimed. Imagine my surprise, then, when the author of the suggested remedial measure confesses that no such purpose was entertained; on the contrary, he acknowledges that "it is not necessary to specifically pro- vide that he (the mayor) shall not hold any other salared position in the city government" It is added: Tt is also seen that there is no reason for having such provision concerning the may or" In other words, the deputy may or must be strictly prohibited from holding any other position in the city government except that of mayor but the mayor himself can hold as many offices as he can lay hands on stimuli taneously.
 The reasons for opening all official gates to the mayor, while they are slammed tight against the deputy mayor are luminously given thus: There is no specific provision in the law or the charter preventing the may or from pursuing any other business or occupation while he is in office. Such prohibition would be unwise, as ,we need business men, with other bus iness interests, in the mayors chair. It may be a question whether it would be advisable to prevent the mayor from holding at the same time, as Mayor Studley now does, any other office within the gift of the people, or the state, since it is easy to imagine that a desirable candidate for mayor might have one of the state employments not inconsistent with the discharge of his duty as mayor
 So the effort, the original purpose of which appeared to be, and was sup posed to be, to limit a mayor to one office only, while mayor, appears to have resulted in a proposal to estab- fish the right of the mayor to hold any and all offices that may come to him from whatever source. In fact, it is intimated that as mayor must, per force, be a man of no mean ability, he should always have something doing; 1 and as the duties of mayor might not be enough in number and importance to keep his official machinery in good working order, it would be well to lei him have anything else, official or un-

SKIPPER DIED AT SEA.
Body of Graf waIdersee's Commander
 Brought to Port.

New York, May 10.-With flags flying at half mast, the steamship Graf Wal dersee of the Hamburg American line came into port to-day with the body of her commander, Captain Adalbert Krech. who died at sea on Monday from aneumonia.
 The steamship came in under com mand of the first officer, J. A. P. Wag- ner. Her progress up the bay caused a good deal of comment on account of her flags, passengers on ferryboats wondering what was the matter. Steamship men on the piers, however, recognized that the Graf Waldersee had lost an officer, and their expressions of regret were genuine when they learned that Captain Krech had crossed the bar.
