LUNCHEON SERVED
 AT ELk'S HOME.

Nearly 250 couples visited the fnvit- ing quarters of the Elks Home in State street. last evening. enjoying lengthy round of pleasure beginning at o'clock and continued until well after midnight. Luncheon was serv- ed during the evening. An orchestra of eight pieces and several entertain efs contributed to the program. Among the talent were the Black Brothers. banjo experts: Yvette. the terpsichorean violinist from Polls Theatre: James Mahoney. Miss Cath crime Kirby. and others.
 Yvette's playing and her most uni- ual and interesting dance made pro- found impression amounting almost to sensation. It was admitted that only art made the dance a possibility, and that should the same work be done by one not supremely gifted the effect would scarcely be to1erabIe.
 Arrangenents were made by Dr. E.. F. McGovern. D. J. Clifford Dr. P J. Mclaughlin, Nelson Freshour. Edward Bennett. Joseph Connors. Victor Beck man and William Howe.

 The President of the National Fed eration of Horticultural syndicates has asked the minister of agriculture to put stop to the practice of dyeing flowers, as he objects for asthetic rea- sons, to green roses, even though they match the dress of the woman wear ing them. Fashionable Parsiennes have discovered that. by placing the stalk of cut flower in a chemical solu- ton, the petals can be dyed. Some Of the women go so far as to dye flowers to match their eyes. Aniline dyes are much used. It is understood that tho minister of agriculture, himself an en- thusiastfc amateur horticulturist has promised to use his arbitrary powers to make green roses and red violets punishable offenses.

NOTES FROM PARIS
Aeroplanes for Postal Ser vice-Fashion Paper for Men-Safety Device for "Bird Men"

Pau, France, Feb. eIn the presence of the French Minister of Colonies Aviator LeMartin has just completed a series of test flights in an aeroplane intended for the French postal serv ce in the colonies. A monoplane was us- ed and the tests were all successful. Through this particular machine is in- tended for use in Madagascar others will be built for other lands.
 The Princess de Sagan, formerly Countess de Castellane, nee Gould, struck by the extreme cruelty by which Paris cab horses are treated, will devote considerable of her time and money towards their protect on. She is quite serious in her determina- tion to lessen at least, the suffering among the badly beaten animals which more often than not go foodless for many hours. A League for the Pro- lection of Horses has been formed. The Princess de Sagan it is said, will spend some thousands of dollars an- nually through this organization.
 new fashion paper for men has just made it's appearance on the boule- wards. It is entitled "Le Mode Mas culine" The editor maintains that few Parisians who spend $2000 year on clothes, really know how to dress. Men wear full dress morning and af- ternoon upon the slightest occasion, silk hats with business sacksu;ts, etc. President Fallieres, according to the paper. is the only man in France Justified in wearing a full dress suit in the day time. The new paper is not a trade paper but is intended as a gu de for men who have money to spend on clothes but don't know how to select them.

The pig was badly shaken up but not otherwise injured.

BLOCK MAPS AND MEDICAL
 INSPECTION
Board of ApportiOnment and TaxitiOn Discus Inn
 pOrtant Matters

The people surely made the meeting of the Tax Board their forum last night. President John J. Phelan and his colleagues sat in the council cham Der until midnight and were finally obliged to adjourn until o'clock this morning for the purpose of finishing its business.
 City Engineer M. F. McKenna re- ported relative to block maps that there were 500 to be made. that he would have 125 made by April 1, and 175 ~hy September l. The remaining 800 he sad could be completed next year. It was simply a question of labor and the more money he had to work with the more work he would be able to do. He was of the opinion that he can complete the job with the $500 asked for and the reap propriation of the s4,100 that would be left at the end of the current fis- cal year.
 B. D. Pierce. Jr., said that if the for economy as they were claimed to be the entire appropriation should be kranted this year.
 Relative to the item for the care and operation of the city engineering departments automobile. s. E. Vim cent SdlG, w ncn these for automobile care come in here they sound extravagant but when you en- Quire into details it seems as though the requests were reasonable ana right"
 Stephen NJ. Osborn, a committee of enc to report this morning on the pro- eress of the development of block maps told his colleagues that he had inspected the work being done in the office of the city engineer. He said, ~Tt is not a question of what can be done but of what has been done and how the work has been done. have visited the office of the city en- gineer and inspected the work done and I can say that the maps finish cd are any way up to the standard set by the City of Worcester which has the best block map system in the country.

and take supervision of their use," asked MT. Phelan.
 Dr. Florence Sherman, the first wom- an who has appeared before the tax board in the history of the city said: ''The work of med cal inspection of schools was first taken up in Boston in 1904. It was discovered there that many children were dropping out of school An investigation revealed many imperfections in children. Mas sachusetts statistics on this work would prove its value. It is so much needed n this city. especially among the foreign population where there is so much ignorance. It is really in- structon along the lines of personal hygiene and it is simply giving chill dren a chance to keep up with others who are stronger than they are. The state compels them to go to school and there is no reason why the state should not help and care for them."
 Dr. Deane, super ntendent of schools said: 1T think that medical inspection is along the fundamental lines of pub lie education, When anything inter- feres with out duty it is our duty to remove it. The intent of the school is to make the pupil efficient. We did have results from the inspection. We closed the schools last year because Of Scarlet fever.'
 The greater part of the evening was taken up last night in hearing citizens who want street grading. Alderman Henry Clampett said that s49,320 was the aggregate amount asked for street grading. MT. Goodsell explained that the auditor had recommended only $11. 900 for grading while $7,500 was al- ready contracted for.
 Cit zens appeared in favor of grad ing Trumbull Road. Third street, Paci- fic street, Jewett avenue, Alex street, Kelsey street, Charles street Savoy street, Harmony street, Westfield ave- nue, Beechmont avenue. Arctic street, 1 Hallett street, and many other streets. There were also many citizens who wanted new macadam.
 MT. Cooper and MT. Goodsell made note that many of the streets where improvements were wanted were To- cated in the First taxing district and all the appropriations would eventually be charged to both the first and second districts. MT. Goodsell sad: "The Revolutionary War was started be- , cause of taxation without representa- ; tion. Here is a case here where many streets lying outside of the second district seek improvement and streets inside of the second district can't get improvements. It s taxation upon the second district taxpayers withou, representation 'n the disbursements o1 : the city's funds"

 .sAs it stands now" said Attorney Wallace, "the bill comes from the manufacturers and merchants, a sec tion of the plutocracy, which seeks to get the sovereignty from the pubic service commissioners and the rail- roads. I don't know as we will be any better off. I don't know as a despotism of the manufacturers or Connect cut will be any more philan- thropic than the despotism of the rail- road.

He told of a church that gave out thousands of loaves of bread to the toilers. The manufacturers adapted themselves to the condition and cut down wages in proportion.
 Then he dwelt upon the grave re- responsibilities of the commission. The commission of five men would take charge of half the property of the State. It is a step. he said, towards commission government for the State. This is all right so far as it goes. said he but the commission form of government should be a government by the people. in that the commission people and subject to their recall.
