Many Important Measures Come Before City Fathers Police Department In crease is Authorized Maximum Number of Pa tro1nen is 19O.

Increases in the number of officers and patrolmen in the police depart ment. the extension ofFHallett street from Goodwin street to Waterview avenue. a report from City Engineer Terry that the city must shortly spend $1,521.0 900 to establish sanitary sew CTS and disposal plants and the order ing of public hearings, on the exten- sion of several important streets were among the matters considered at the meeting of the common council last night.
 The extension of Hal1ett street which was voted will make it a par aIleI thoroughfare with Pembroke street from Stratford avenue to Bos- ton avenue.
 Public hearings were ordered for the evening of May 15 on the follow ing proposals:
 Opening 60-foot street from a point at Wall and Water streets and extend ing through to Bank street and from Bank street through to northeast corner of. State and Main streets.
 Extension of John street from Main street 50 feet in width to connect with proposed street.
 Extension of John street from West avenue to Park avenue, 60 feet in width and also relative to the widen ing of John street from Main street to Broad street to a width of 60 feet.
 Extension of Hickory street from it's present terminus to East Main street.
 Extension of Lafayette street from State street to Harrison street, 60 feet in width.
 The expense if the street measures are adopted will be met from the $125,OO0 street extension bond issue.
 The council revised the police or dinance to read that the depart ment may comprise one superintend- ent, four captains, 13 Heutenants, 13 sergeants, five detective sergeants, nine doormen, a clerk with rank and pay of sergeant. and 190 patrolmen. The increases in the offices of lieuten- ants and sergeants are four in each instance.
 City Engineer Terry's recommenda- ton regarding the installation of sani- tary sewers according to the Herring plan was read in full after Alderman Harrigan had insisted. The plan calls for disposal stations on both sides of the PeQuonnock river and will abolish the Henry street basin nuisance. Permission was given for the laying of sewers in Park avenue, Chalmers avenue, Whitney avenue, Gurdon and Salem streets in accordance with. the plans approved by the City Planning commission.

Many Mourning Death
 of Mrs. Rosina Breen

Hundreds of friends and acquaint- ances of Rosina, wife of Stephen J. Breen, were shocked this morning by her death, which occurred at the Breen home, 1.459 Park avenue. Genuine sorrow was expressed throughout the city.
 Mrs. Breen had been i'll for a long time Within the last few weeks her condition became critical, and this morning she died.
 Mrs Breen was a native of New Jersey, but she had lived in Bridge ort a long time- She was beloved by her friends, and known to her ac- quaintances as a business woman of unusual attainments. She was mar ried eight years ago to stephen J. Breen, now city editor of the Bridge port Telegram and first manager of the new Poli theatre in this city. Four years ago they moved to Pueblo, Colo. They returned here in January of this year.
 Members of Mrs Breen's family live in Denver. To them and to her be reaved husband, 9 deep sympathy is being extended today.

Curious Apaehe Belief,

The Apache Indians religious belief prevents them from committing mur- der in the dark If a dozen Apaches should discover a man sleeping by his campfire at night no amount of money would hire them to attack him until the sun came up. They believe that if they kill. man at night their own souls will walk in eternal darkness for ever Knowing this curious supersti- ton, hunters, scouts, trappers and oth- CTS travelling through the Apache na- ton in the old days moved about dur ing the nfghtsand lay by in some safe retreat during the day.

strenuoas Piano PIaylne.

The late Lord BurnhaTn's house was one of the few-perhaps the only one where the impresaHio of London opera seasons allowed his singers to perform at evening partiesA In that drawing room you might hear the prima donna out of .Covent Garden, and for other manners of music also those parties. were memorable. Many respectful hear CTS have sat by while a great pianist has broken the cord of a grand piano. but at Lord Burnham's on one occa- sion Rubinstein broke not a cord, but key. That grent composer was a strong man of his hands. The key was natural" an ivory, note, and when it snapped. he threw the frag- ment over his shoulder and went on London Chronicle.

One Gladstone Interview.

An amusing glimpse of the famous statesman Gladstone was once given by John Murray of the publishing house which issued many of MT. Glad stones writings and speeches. 'fThe last time I was at MT. Gladstone's house." said MT. Murray, T had break fast early and alone, as I was going to Scotland. When I had finished I was told that Mr. Gladstone did not know that I was leaving so early and that he wanted to have another talk with me. I went to his bedroom-a very large room with double bed in it. Mrs. Gladstone was in her dressing room.
 "Gladstone was dressed in a night gown with a brown shawl round him. He was lying flat on his face; his head at the foot of the bed and his feet on the pillows. In one hand he held cup of coffee, and there was a book in the other. I shall never forget that inter view and the comfcalfty of the great lion head popping up as I went toward him''

Curious Marriage Custom.

Among the Kherrias of India there is a very curious marriage. ceremony. Taking a portion of the hair of the bride and bridegroom in turn from the center of the forehead, the priest draws it down on to the bridge of the nose. Then, pouring oil on the head, he watches it carefully as it trickles down the portion of hair. If the oil runs straight on to the tip of the nose their future will be fortunate, but if it spreads over the forehead or trickles off on either side of the nose ill luck is sure to follow. Their fortunes told, generally to their own satisfaction, the final part of the ceremony takes place. Standing up side by side, but with faces strictly averted, the bride and bridegroom mark each others forehead with ''sindur'' (vermilion).

ALDERMEN ORDER PUBLIC HEARINGS
 ON MAY I6 ON PROPOSITIONS TO l
 EXTEND STREETS IN CITY CENTER

Attorney Comley was instructe4 to take the necessary legal steps to se- cure for the city the property at St. Mary -by-the-Sea. It was voted to make an exchange of land in School street with the board of education so that the street can be strengthened to a 5O-foot width. Alderman Lewis also introduced a resolution to forbid the making of tteIbow alleys in new real estate tracts that are opened. He claims real estate men open new tracts and have them surveyed from every possible angle in order to get the most out of them. In consequence the street through the tracts are lack ing anything but symmetrical.
 The Connecticut Go again peti- toned for permission to remove its tracks in East Washington avenue from Noble avenue to Main street. It was voted the company be ordered to repair the brick pavement along it's tracks in Main street from East Washington avenue to North avenue.

Iava,a Eineat -rempIe to .Ruddha.

In his posthumous work, Java D.. w. Campbell goes minufeIy into the antiquities of Java, which consist of a number of ruins of temples and of oth- CT sacred edifices, formerly dedicated to the religion of the people, who, after first embracing Brahmanism, changed their faith (about A. D. 45O) to Bud dhisn and a thousand years later to Mohammedanism. The greatest of the temples is Boro-Boedoer tor Boro-Bu- dur, as MT. Campbell spells it. It is the finest example of it's kind extant; in fact, Buddhism has left no such rec ord anywhere else.
