the one of 1892 This came in re
sponse to an order of the common
council, and James Hillhouse, after
whom Hillhouse avenue was named,
was the chief promoter. Atwater's
history says of this planting:
'The great planting of the elms had
its inception in the order issued from
the common council, September 20,
1884. and approved in city council June
5, 1887, for the laying out of Temple
street to Grove street. The avenue,
through the Hillhouse farm, los feet
wide, now Hillhouse avenue, was sur
veyed and laid out and the elms
planted in 1892. Among the boys who
assisted were Ogden Edwards, born
in 1881, afterward a New York city
judge, and Henry Baldwin, born in
1873, afterward a judge of the su-
preme court of the United States. The
latter once said in the presence of
Mrs. Worthington Hooker, then a
young woman, and a daughter of Gov.
Edwards: I held many an elm while
Hillhouse shoveled in the earth Even
the girls caught the enthusiasm.
There was, for instance, Caroline
Shipman, who became Mrs. Garnet
Duncan of Louisville. KY. She was
daughter of Elias Shipman, leading
merchant, who lived in the house now
occupied by the Quinnipiac club. She
watered the trees which Hillhouse
had planted along Chapel street in
front of her house, and with her own
hands set out an elm"
There was another large planting in
1888 by order of the common council,
when $50 naples were set out. The
trees which were started on these two
dates were at the height of their glory
about 1865. when the picture of the
famous Gothic arch in Temple street
was taken. The heavy storm of 1898
damaged them badly, and In 1900 a
commission was appointed to replace
those destroyed.

Music Charms Snakes.

adopted by 12-year-old Hart Smith and
his brother John, aged nine, Of this
city. The plan was successful to a
marked degree, and IL reptiles fell
before the clubs of the youthful head
hunters.
The lads started out few days ago
with an old violin belonging to their
father, Walter Smith. The youngsters
kad read that snakes could be
charmed, and they determined 70 try
it.They took the violin, scraped away
at it, and wrung several mournful ca
dences from the old instrument. They
did not have to wait long at the
mouths of the holes over which they
played. At one hole three garter
snakes came slowly out to bask in the
sunshine and hear the music.
The boys bagged every one, IL, dur
