of the Thrift Shop.
Among the many treasures OF Mr..
Beale, which have come to him from
his father, Gen. Edward Fitzgerald
Beale. is the famous Truxtun Urn,
which was presented to his great
grandfather, Commodore Thomas
Truxtun, by the merchants OF Lloyds
Coffee House, London, following his
victories in the West Indies. AS COM
mander of the U. S. Constellation,
the first ship of the infant United
States Navy, he captured the French
fripate Insurgente and crippled the
VENGEANCE, although both ships were
much superior in number In crew
and guns. The huge silver urn Will
be taken from the vault especially
for the exhibition.
Gen. Ulysses S. Grant. who was
constant guest in Decatur house both
during and after his presidency, was
a great friend of Gen. Beale's, and
1t is his portrait which hangs over
the great mantel in the dining room.
Other famous paintings will be shown.

dore Truxtun; paintings by Gen.
Beale himself, portraying his expert
he lot xxrk&o
he introduced camels from Arabia
into our Western deserts; portrait
of Lieut.. Beale, disguised in Mexican
dress, when he, as a young officer.
was dispatched across Mexico in 1849
with a sample of the first gold dis
covered in California, and paintings
OF the two Arabian stations, Leopard
and Linden Tree, presented by the
Sultan of Turkey to Gen. Grant on
his tour of the world. Gen. Grant
then gave them to Gen. Beale.
One of the most interesting things
on exhibition is the Bohemian glass
urn presented by Henry Clay, Secre-
tary of State under John Quincy
Adams, to Truxtun Beale's maternal
grandfather, j. Edwards, member of
Congress from Pennsylvania. Then
there are the dueling pistols, sup
posed to have been those used in the

WALK PROMOTER
LIVES ON WHEELS
Car Home of Man Who
Aided Success Of Weston,
Famous Pedestrian.

TOPEKA, Kans. CP).-A life on
wheels has been that Of Clarence
galb, so, who helped a despiser Of
wheels become one of the worlds most
famous pedestrians.
Twenty-Five years ago Ellis accom-
panied Edward Payson Weston, IL
year-old hiker and holder of many
world walking records. on his famous
jaunt across the country from Santa
Monica, Calf, to New York City.
Weston Wins Wager.
Weston walked the 3,6ll-mile dis
tance in 70 days 20 hours and so min
utes to win wager-and a pot esti-
mated by Ellis at $85 5,000-that he
could do 1t in 80 days.
When Weston set out from Santa
Monica, the Santa Fe Railroad, whose
line the hiker followed to Chicago,
assigned Ellis to accompany him. Ellis
was a bridge inspector at Winslow,
Ariz., and had spent most of his life
on railroad locomotives and cars.
It was Ellis duty to arrange hotel
accommodations for Weston and tele-
graph his progress to newspapers and
news agencies.
But Ellis didn't walk step of the
way. He rode on a small gasoline
railway car. From Chicago to New
York he rode in an automobile.
Greeted by Crowds.
"The hike created wide interest" !"
Ellis said. Large crowds gathered at
every hamlet. village. town and city
to greet Weston and cheer him on.
Often persons who thought themselves
good walkers tried their skill against
his, but they didn't last long"
Although now retired, Ellis is still
living on wheels. He has taken over
an abandoned street car here and has
converted 1t into combination
kitchen. dining room, living room and
bed room.

Balanced Budget For
 Year Expected By "
Annual Meeting to Be Held May Nominating Com
 nlittee Chosen at Monthly Session Yesterday

cial canvass which Is scheduled for the middle of April calls for $35,- 900 in subscriptions, the same amount that was asked for one year ago. The total amount pledg- ed in subscriptions for the year closing May 1st 1885 is $34,54O.
 Committee Re-organized
 On recommendation of Chair man John B. Goss, the executive committee was re-organized so that different groups of the direc- tors will serve for three months each, thus relieving a small num- Der of this business and financial responsibility.
 Resolutions were passed re- garding the death of Miss Caro- line A. Plat, long time and gen. erous friend of the Waterbury Y. M. c. A. Former President Levi Wilcox and the general secretary were appointed committee to prepare the resolutions and send copies to the members of Miss Platt's family.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-04-02

President Julius B. smith pre- sided at the monthly meeting Of the Board of Directors of the Y. M. c. A. last night. Reports showed q wide range of activities at the three branches operated under the sign of the "Red Triangle, and active plans are underway for the boys summer camp. The annual meeting of the Y. M. c. A. is due for Monday, May goth at which time annual reports are made and new directors and new officers are elected.
 A nominating committee was ap- pointed as follows: Representing the board of directors. Thomas P. Kellogg, chairman and Arthur P. Hickcox. From the membership, William s. Curtis, Attorney Will liam T. Keavney and w. Chester Bray, mayor of the dormitory.
 Subscription Fund
 The Y. M. c. A. anticipates a balanced budget for the year clos ing May 1st, 1895. This is guar anteed by an additional salary re- serve fund for the last three months. A number of the directors and their friends of the Y. M. c. A. headed by President Julius B. Smith established an additional voluntary subscription fund, so that the employees of the YMCA might be relieved of part of this financial responsibility.
 The budget was adopted for the new year beginning May 1st, the amount being $129.763. This bud get is about $70,000 short of the budgets of the YMCA a few years ago when times were better. The reports state that the YMCA is not only carrying on it's full program under the reduced budget, but that 1t is carrying an extra load due to unemployment.
 The YMCA is operating under the. policy of ''pay as you go," It operates under a budget system. which has daily control show ing the financial position of the association on any day with the estimate for the outcome of the end of the year. The annual finan-
