HEBREW HOME
To Be Opened in New Haven for Old
 People and Orphans.

Although the deeds for the sale or the property will not be passed for a couple of weeks arrangements nave practically been completed for the pur- chase. by the Hebrew Ladies Orphan society, of property in York square owned by John Day Jackson, says the New Haven Palladium. The property consists of a large tract of land and we'll built residence. and it is being acquired for the purpose of opening a Hebrew orphan asylum and old folks home in New Haven. Hitherto there has been no such institution, and a large number of prominent people of that race have felt that the race should make some effort to take off the care of the city it's orphans and aged people The crowded conditions of the local orphan asylum have also had something to do with the promui- gating of the idea, and the society has succeeded in interesting prominent He- brews in the work so that the .rop- erty could be acquired. It is planned to open the institution as soon as It is possible to secure funds for it's op- eration and for the necessary altera- tions that must be made.

HAS BEEN LOOKING AT
 NEW LONDON SITES.
Representative of Committee of East ern Screw Machine Company Offered Many Inducements.

A representative of the committee of the Eastern Machine Screw com pany named to decide upon site for the location of the new concern visited New London on Monday and was shown about that city where there are several available places where it is desired to have the company locate. After the representative had seen the offerings it was stated that if none suited that a new building would be erected for them, while in addition something in the way of a reduced tax list could be assured for a number of years.
 A number of the business men of the city have been to see one of the com pany regarding the location of the business here but whether it will be possible to bring it about is not known. AS far as can be learned New London or New Haven offer no additional in ducements over Norwich and the bus mess men are making an effort to induce the company in which four Nor wich men are interested to locate here where they are plenty of available places and as good, if not better facili- ties than the other places can offer.

ing but seven cans in the car when it reached Lebanon on Tuesday. At South Windham three small dairies ship their milk, but the quantity is less than one sixth of what is usually shipped. Above Willimantic the largest shippers are holding their milk off the market. On the line frora Col chester only a portion of the Supply has been sent, and they are planning to hold back the remainder At Fur nerville only a few cans were sent Cn Tuesday. At Chestnut Hill, where nearly a half car has been shipped up to May 1St, not one can has been shipped this week, and they claim they do not intend to ship until nge- ments are made to their satisfaction.
 A producer says it is admitted by all acquainted with the production of milk that the cost is more than the producers are getting. The price of grain, labor and everything that en- ters into the cost of milk has advanced to twice what it cost a few years ago, and yet milk has advanced but very little, making the cost and selling price out of proportion. The members of the newly organized milk produ eers' company are urging that all producers stand shoulder to shoulder in keeping their milk off the market until a satis- factory price is received, whether it be to the Boston or Providence market that they ship. The farmers and their friends are all intensely interest ed in this contest over milk.

SiNGULARiTIES.

Calculations as to the size required for human beings on the other planets reckoning. According to those based upon the attraction of gravity, Jupiter should be peopled by pygmies of twen- ty-eight inches. Wolnus on the other hand, argued that Goliath himseif would be accounted decidedly under sized upon that planet. He worked from the feebleness of the suns light there which would demand that the pupil of the eye should be much more dilatable. Since the pupil stands in q constant proprotion to the ball of the eye. and that to the entire body. said Wolfius, a little calculation shows that an average Jovian must be nearly l3 feet inches tall-not quite four inch es shorter than Oga king of Bashan, according to the measure of his bed stead given in Deuteronomy.
 King Gustaf of Sweden has gone to Nice to consult Prof. Schweningef, who was Bismarcks ''banting," or fat reducer and his body doctor for many years. Schweninger was the hundredth doctor whom Bismarck had consulted the ninety-ninth having diagnosed the ailment as cancer in the stomach. When Schweninger was first intro duced to Bismarck by his younger son. Count Bill" whose bulk the new doctor had reduced, the chancellor complained that he asked too many questions. "Very well, then" said Schweninger, you had better call in a veterinary surgeon; he won't ask you any"

MILK IS BEING HELD BACK
Producers Have Formed in Three Eastern Counties of this State-Very Little is Being Shipped to Boston Providence.

Throughout this part of the state the milk producers are much interested in the outcome of the withholding of the markets, on a demand for a higher price. A branch of the Boston Co., operative Milk Producers company has been organized by the milk producers in parts of New London, Windham and Holland counties to help out the cause The producers feel that they are not getting enough for their milk to cover the cost of producing and have asked for an advance Of one- half a cent a quart for the milk sent to Providence over the price received last year, which is an average of 35 cents for a can of 10 quarts during the summer months, and having been refused this advance they decided to join with the producers shipping milk to Boston, who feel the same way about the matter. They intend to hold their milk off the market until such time as an agreement can be made with the contractors that will yield the producers a satisfactory return for their milk. It was agreed by a large majority of the producers along the line of the Central Vermont and New Haven roads where milk is collected for shipment to Boston and Provi- dence markets to stop shipping milk beginning May 1st-

The April term of the United States court convened Tuesday morning in New Haven, Judge Platt presiding. A petit jury was also in attendance.
 The case down for trial was that of Zebulon R. Robbins and Frank E. Pat tison of Norwich against the Central Vermont Railway company.

NEW LONDON CUSTOM HOUSE.
Changes Will Be Required if New
 Bill Passes.

Inspectors have already begun an inquiry to the accommodations re- quired at the custom house, provided the bill now before congress passes and New London becomes an immedi- ate transportation port. About the building there is no doubt. but that the bill, introduced by Congressman Higgins. will pass and that the upper floor will be required for storage pur- poses It may be necessary to remove the office of the board of inspection of steam vessels and the weather ob- server from the second floor to make way for storage room
 An inspector has been about the building, looking over the construction to see if provision may be made for an elevator. Such a device would be essential to a custom house where storage of goods in bond, awaiting payment of duty or appraisal is nec- essarv. With the making of a port of immediate transportation of New London, many vessels would find it advantageous to come here to unload, owing to cheaper wharfage than in New York and Boston. and facilities for shipping by rail without drayage and storage rates to which the ship pers are subjected in the big cities.

TRYING POWDER.
Waterbury Barbers May Abandon Old
 Method of Making Shaving Lather.

Several Waterbury barbers are try ing a powder which has recently been placed on the market for producing father. The powder is considered more sanitary as each patron has a fresh lather. The brush is washed after each customer and instead of applying it to a cake of soap which has been used on any number of previous cus- toners, the powder is placed in the bot tom Of the cup and a new father made from this.
 The idea has been given a trial in several other cities and seems to be working we'll here. If the cup and brush are kept thoroughly cleaned the plan is certainly much cleaner than the old method--Waterbury Republi- can.
