METzGERS BUY
HEUBLEIN PLACE
Bond Issue of $125, 900 Had
Been Suggested for It's
Purchase by City of New
Haven.

While deeds have not yet been pass
ed it is authoritatively stated that the
sale of the Leffngwel building on
Church street at the corner Of Court,
in New Haven, has been practically
agreed upon between the present own
ers and Arthur J. and Louis Metzger,
proprietor of the Heublein, which now
occupies a portion of the building. In
view of the agitation for the purchase
of this property by the city of New
Haven to enlarge city, hall facilities
for which a. bill for an issue of bonds
has. been presented to the general as
sen1bly it is considered that the Metz
gers are to be congratulated on Sc
curing the property thus securing the
stability of their established home
which cannot now be taken from them
except under condemnation proceed
ings, without arranging satisfactory
agreement to them.
The property is in the hands of a
number of different persons at the
present time, all of whom own small
portions Of it.
Just what price has been agreed up
on for the building the interested par
ties refuse to give out, but it is UNI
derstood to be considerably below the
figure of $125,000. for which amount
bond issue has been suggested for the
city to purchase it. The property.
owned by the Leffingwell heirs who
sessed at $4,000. An eighth part of
the building is owned by the estate Of
the late Atwater Treat, Of which
Judge A. Mcclellan Mathewson is ex-
ecutor. Judge Mathewson several
days ago filed with the probate court
an application for permission to sell
this share in the property.
1t is understood that no immediate
steps will be taken to change the
building around in any way by the
new owners when the deal is closed.
Judge Mathewson in discussing the
sale said that he was in favor Of the
city purchasing the building but that
he didn't think there was any need
at the present time. He said that he
thought the purchase by the city
should be deferred several years UNI
less the owners take steps to improve
it, in which case the city might bet
ter secure control before the price Of
the building went too high.

this development in the psych1cal dis
position of men many of the disablli-
ties suffered by the older generation
from the march of progress are enjoy

DR.. OSWALD, however, expects that in
future the idea Of progress will not
dominate the world as an end in it.
self. He says:
Men will more and more see that
it is more civilized truly to live than
to fill ones whole life with mere prep
arations and means to live. The men
will also learn, instead Of the present
passive art, which, whether play, COM
position or picture, is allowed merely
to impress one, the immediate, active
art of leading more graceful life.
This art is a hundred times richer and
more intimate than any external arts,
which are mere surrogates for the ac-
tive art. The new art will be optl-
mistic and passive, as is the art of the
modern aesthetics, which consists main
ly of sorrowing over the amount of
i'nartistic' things in the world"
Prof. OSWALD says that the falling
off in the birth rate is sthe one thing
which gives even steadfast Optinlists
sleepless nights. He ascribes this
mainly to the initiative of women. He
says:
eve have apparently the cruel al
tentative of women wearing them
selves out as mothers and renouncing
a great share of the intellectual ac-
tivity, in attaining which SO many
feminist pioneers have worked with
self-sacrifice or of motherhood being
rejected, or limited to minimum, and
thereby the existence Of the, nation

to be settled yes or no, there can be
no doubt as to the answer. Women
in the collective must make the sac

no value once it is doomed to destruc-

TUBERCULOSIS CAMP
New Haven Hospital Sc
cures Big Allingtown Site
for Treatment of Gases.

New Haven, Feb. 17-Ofhcers of the
General Hospital Society of Connecti-
cut yesterday verified report that
the large strip of land on Campbell
avenue in West Haven, which includes
Lion park, which they recently pur-
chased, is to be used as site for a..
camp and hospital for the treatment
Of tuberculosis cases. The property
was purchased by Alfred w. Minor
local real estate dealer, in behalf
of the hospital association.
1t is understood that within short
time pavilion will be established
there to be conducted more or less in
conjunction with the New Haven hos
pital for the treatment of advanced
tubercular cases. 1t is very probable
that arrangements will be made with
the Visiting Nurses association to OPP
crate a temporary camp there this
summer.
The launching of this plan is made
possible by a fund of about 100000.
which was given by an anonymous do
nor for the fight against tuberculosis.

MA CAN'T VOTE.

Mas a graduate of college and shes
read most everything: !.
She can talk in French and Germanr.
she can paint and she can sing.
Beautiful? She's like picture! When
she talks she makes you think =
OF the sweetest kind of music, and
she doesn't smoke or drink
Oh. I can't begin to tell you all the
poems she can quote;
She knows more than half the law
yers do; but ma can't vote.
When my pa is writing letters. ma
must always linger near -
To assist him in his spelling and to-
make his meaning clear. -
IF. he needs advice her Judgment, he-
admits, is always best;
Every day she gives him pointers,
mostly at his own request. -
She keeps track of legislation, and is
taxed on bonds and stocks. -
But she never gets a look-in at tina
secret ballot bax.
Ma is wiser than our coachman, for
he's not a graduate,
And I doubt if he could tell you who
is governing the state,
He has never studied grammar. and
I'll bet he doesn't know
Whether Caesar lived a thousand or
two thousand years ago.
He could never tell us how to keep
the ship of state af1oat, -
For he doesn't know there's such a.
thing-but ma can't vote.
Once when Mr.. Jones was calling they
got up short debate
That was on the tariff question; hG
supposed he had it straight.
But before they'd finished talking ha-
threw up his hands and said
That he'd not read much about it, nor
remembered what he'd read. $.
He's too badly rushed to study now
to better human lives.
Still he looms up like a giant when
election time arrives.
Mrs Gookins does our washing, for sh6
has to help along,
care of her six children, tho.
her husbands big and strong.
When he gets a job, he only holds it
till he draws his pay,
Then he spends his cash for whisky, or
else CANDLES it away
I suppose his brains no bigger thar
the brain Hof any boat, -
And he'd trade his ballot for a drinfS

The well-known Leipzig professor,
DR.. William OSWALD, who was award
ed the Nobel prize for chemistry in
1909 publishes in the Vienna Neue
Freie Presse an emphatic denial of the
theory that European civilization is in
a decadent state. There is good rea-
son, he says, for the theory that the
Intentional restriction Of families
threatens particular nations; but most
other current notionssas to decadence
will not stand examination.
DIR. OSWALD says that decadence
theories are mainly spread by young
people who are disillusioned by idle
themselves decadent, wrongly imagine
that they are products of a general de-
cadence.
but nature has provided against
the spreading of this exceptional type
of Individual he says. LAS such indi-
viduals show a strong disinclination
to reproduction, the comforting biolog-
zeal conclusion may be drawn that by
the nature of things their race is DOOM
ed to die out; and there is therefore,
no fear that their race will establish
itself and multiply. Decadents must
be regarded as disappearing individ-
uals phenomena of our complicated So
cial life. They are not sign of gen.
uine general decay, but an inevita BILE
by-product of increased development"
Dr. OSWALD recognizes another de
cadent' social type-that is, the type
of the aesthetic-which is character
lied by 'decayed will power and ny
pertrophied sensibility." But he holds
that such individuals are also excep-
lions and are usually doomed to ster-
ility Likewise, the changes which
continually occur in the conditions Of
life do not threaten humanity, as
there is a regular adaptation Of the
whole population to new life condi-
tons.
"Man has not only adapted himself
to novel and far-reaching life condi-
lions, but he has also gained in general
capacity to adapt himself; he has ac-

The Fair.

A few weeks ago we spoke OF the
eighth annual meeting Of the West Ten
nessee Fair Association to be held at
Union City, Tenn, Wednesday, Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday, September
g, 4, and 8, 1911 Arrangements are
now being made for the meeting in the
shape of music and attractions and the
grounds and track are being prepared
for the occasion. In former article
we enumerated some. Of the specially
large premiums. The purses for the
fair this year in all class events, which
includes trotting and pacing, will be
5000 for each race. There will be two
$500 stake races, a trot and pace. The
Dahnke-Walker Milling Co. premiums
for corn amount to $50. The County
Superintendent, G. L. Rulings, offers
the Boys Corn Club premiums aggre-
eating $75 for corn. G. G. CLOVIS offers
$50 in cash premiums for Berkshires.
The association and others offer an ag-
gregate Of $53 for the largest and best
collection Of farm products in one dis
play. The entire list amounts to over
So, 900, more than any other county
fair in the State ever attempted.
This fall some very attractive induce
ments will be offered to the visitors in
addition to the fair proper and its mani
fold interests. Negotiations are now on
loot for these attractions and they will
Dc announced later on. Ofcourse there
will be the usual merry-go-round, Ferris
Wheel and moving picture shows. These
ire staples, but other attractions of a
'pecial nature are to be secured, some
hing different and better in everyway.
The managers Of the fair are doing their
'est to give hepublic its money worth
nd are sparing neither pains nor ex-
'ense to do this. They will be ready to

in operation for time under the pres
ent regulations, to enlarge it with the
use Of buckets and screens. The pro-
visions in this extension require the
property owner to close or box in all
the openings in the closet except those
to be screened for ventilation. The rear
OF the closet is to be provided with a
swinging door, which is to be kept
closed except for use in cleaning the
closet. Then the owner is to provide
buckets for the offal, and these buckets
are to be handled by the scayenger in
removing the same.
This is the system originally planned
by DIR. Blanton, and as rapidly as it can
be done without a hardship it should
be adopted It is a popular service
and Union City cannot have complete
sanitation without it. Everybody can
use it and it can be and is made com
pulsory. The most important duty Of
a municipality is the regulation of its
sanitation. The clean city not only en-
Joys the blessings of good health, but
advantages that bring capital and in
