lSBELL AMENDMENT "LEGISLATIVE JOKE. :"
 SAYS PROF. FARNAM

especially to the members of. the jul dio1ary committee. Much can also be accomplished by attending the hear ing as advocates of the merit system, and by asking friends to join the Civ fl Service Reform association. Either send a postal card to the secreary, MT. F. H. Wiggin, ? Church street. New Haven, giving the names of per- sons who may be addressed by him, or still better ask individuals to send in their own applications on a postal card.
 If the hearing on Wednesday de- ve1ops any valid criticisms of the act, we shall not oppose such notifications in detail as may help to make it work more smoothly, while leaving it's sis ter states. if wetwere to repeal the act, altogether. and it would make us a laughing stock. if we were to leave the act upon the statute book, but so amend it that there would be prae- tically no one to apply 1t to. As the Boston Transcript says regarding the proposal. Tt would certainly be a bad beginning for biennial session or for any session. "

.
 New Haven, Jan. 19-Pref. Henry w. F'arnam, president of the Civil Service Reform association, has Issued another, bulletin in connection with Senator Isbell's proposed amendment to the state civil service law, in which he urges the members to work hard for the retention of the merit system in the state service. He says to adopt the IsbeH amendment would make a laughing stock of the state. The bulletin says in part:
 This would leave the law like 8 jack knife with all of the blades brox- en. believe that Senator Isbe1T is too good 8 lawyer to stand sponsor for any such legislative joke and hence infer that while the bill may represent the views of certain ex- tremists, it's main function will be to serve as 8 basis for discussion at the hearing.
 All, of our members should do their best in the few days that remain to work for the merit system. This can be done by writing. or speaking to their repr presentatives in the assembly.

 We further learn. that the Ameri- can commissioners in return for these distin suished marks of atten- ktfon, gave grand entertainment to Fthe magistrates and principal inhabi- tants of Ghent. This entertainment l was given in a splendid saloon and i garden in the vicinity of the city.

DOLAN DECLARES
 FEDERAL CITIES
 ARE SMALL TIME

St. Louis, Jan 1s-In the opinion of "Cozey Dolan, the Cardinal inf1eld- CT. the Federal League borders too much on the small time stuff-that Kansas City, Indianap polls. Buffalo and Baltimore are not. major. league cities, and that hobnobbing with the elite in the National League is far more satisfactory. even if the pay is a bit smaller.
 There's something in being sat ished,' added Dolan. s'I was satisi ed in St. Louis last summer, and I know that I would not be satisfied in the Federal League. I've played in minor league cities-I live in Oshkosh, Wis. and I know what this minor league stuff is. I'm a big 1eaguers now, and with the chance. before me do you think I'm going to hop off of the big time circuit? Oh. no; not Cose.
 T was up here several times be- fore. They shipped me down there, and as long aas they want Cose on the regular circuit don't think for a. mo ment that he's going to return to the minor leaguers.''

AARRIGAN ON THE
 JOB AT CITY HALL
New Alderman From Eighth District Calls for All
 Night Car Service.
Would Have Steeplechase a State Park Beardsley
 Park Extension Plans.

If the plans of Alderman Daniel P. tdarrtgan carry, Bridgeport will be placed on the map as a regular city With an all night street car service. The alderman wants the state park commission to take over Steeplechase Island as a state reservation. He in- troduced two resolutions to this eff feet in the. common council last night. The resolution fayoring the all night Acar service was adopted and theyCon- necttcut Co.,, will be notified of the ac- tion of the council. Alderman liar rigan proposes that one car an hour be run over every line in the city.
 His resolution proposing that the mayor be a committee of one to con fer with the State Park comm ission to secure Steeplechase Island as a breathing spot for residents of Fair field and New Haven counties was all so adopted.
 Alderman Harrigan also proposed that the board of apportionment be asked to provide at once $10,00O for. and that the city,s unemployed be set at work on street improvements as long as the money will last.
 E The alderman's plan to prevent ve- hicles carrying advertising from going about the city streets was knocked in the head by report from City At. torneyz ComIey saying that such an or dinance would not stand in law. Al- derman Harrigan wanted tile matter tabled until the city clerk could find sout if New Haven. Hartford and Springfield do not have such ordinan- cess but the aldermen refused to table the matter and accepted the report of the city attorney.
 Alderman John H. Casey by re-. quest last night introduced 8 reso-l lution forbidding minors skating on the pond unless accompanied by an adult. A small boy was recently drowned there and the ordinance was requested by a Humanitarian who witnessed the grief of the mother of the boy. The resolution went to the ordinance conmittee.2
 Alderman Roswell proposed an in vestigation of the mill rights of John. A. Barri, at Berkshire pond with a view to having the city purchase them and extending Beardsley Park. He said other property owners in the vi cinity were willing to give land if the Barri rights could be. secured. May or Wilson appointed Aldermen Ros-. well, Primrose and Walker a com rnittee to investigate the matter.

 M. J. BUECHLER.
 South African diamond mines have ceased operations Belgian and Ho1- land diamond cutting plants have closed down. The only diamonds available in America are those on hand or on their way before the war broke out Diamonds are steadily advancing in price and you should buy now if ever. The Buechler collection of diamonds was large and beautiful as it ever was. The BuechIer diamonds are sold at absolutely fair prices-reasona as they can be sold anywhere. But above all, you can buy diamonds here and be perfectly sure each one shown you will be represented exactly as it is the quality of stone-the grade of color-the weight. Twenty four years of reputation building is not to be sac riffced5 by any misrepresentation how ever slight. You can safely buy dia- rnonds here.

This bout WIS memorable as marking the end of the ring career of the t-Saginaw Kid in his prime .one of the greatest 1ightw eight cham pi ons the game has ever had. At the time he met oung Erne the French : Canadian lad had been out of the ring for more than year, and time and lack of training had reduc- ed him to a mere phantom of the boy who once Iorded it over the worlds lightweights. After this pitt full affair Lavigne gave up all thought of regaining his lost 1anrels He had made a small fortune as a. boxer, but had saved little, and he was practically broke when he retired from the ring. Since then, according to all accounts. Lavfgne has had hard sledding, and has tried various occu- pations with little success. The Kids pugilistic career was practically end- ed when he lost the title to Erne in 1899. Later he was knocked out by George McFadden and Jimmy Britt.
