bought by the state at *this time they
will probably be taken from Connecti—
cut, as some outside institutions are
anxious to secure them. The hearing
before the appropriations committee
will be held at 2 o'clock Wednesday

The collection contains more than
1.200 subjects, and has been carefully
arranged and catalogued James W.
Eldridge, who brought it together,
was an officer, and served three years
at the front in the sixties. Rally in the
corri‘iict'it occurred to him that it me-
memtoes of passing events could be
gathered, even though of insignificant
value intrinsically, they would be of
interest. Beginning time, in an unpre-
tentious way, his interest grow with
the increase of his acquisitions until
there resulted an aggregate far out-
reaching the interest of any one col
lector.
It is dliiicult to enumerate articles
that can be called representative, in a
collection wh.ieh contains so many
wholly unique objects of diverse char-
acter, the interest of which depends
largely upon the point of view. To
many the greatest value attaches , to
personal belongings of! individuals.
and of these there are. numerous ex—
amples, including the paddle owned
and used by Jefferson Davis early in
the war. A gauntlet glove worn by
Stonewall Jackson. 0 S A. arevolvcr
carried by General Grant throughout
the war and a cane (with an interest-
lug history) owned by him A bronze
”life mask of Idncoln ,only four of
which were made, and a. piece of the
coat worn by him when he was assas-
sinated. A beautiful and valuable Nu-
vaio blanket made in Mexico and pre-
sented to General Lee. . The hand-
cuffs worn. by brave John Brown, also
his sword, wallet, eye glasses. are, The,
original “Slave ’l‘ag othobcrt Smalls,"
first a slave and then ‘ a caption in
U. S. N., and whoHaier became a
member of congress, being the first
colored man to be thus honored.
One of the most: remarkable and
valuable relics is a wreath made for
saie'nt the sanitary commission's fair
at St. Louis, in 1864, the ticket for
which was sold by “Little Nellie
Grant." This contains locks of hair
cmtrlbutcdtby more than 40 public
men of the time, including Col. Ells-
worth General Dix, General Grant,
General Scott, General Steward, Secs
rotary Welles, Generals Fremont, Mc-
Clellan. Honcock and others. Ac—
companying this relic is all of the cor-
respondence, civil and official, which
was brought back to be with the
wreath, after a separation of 30 years.
rule is a remarkable and interesting
relic.
The collection contains numerous
battle relics—such as shells, cannon
balls, abandoned weapons a surgeon a
field medicine ease with remedies still
in itwrecovered after battles at v‘mr.
rous places. With all the important
relics there are also affidavits corr-
llrming the authenticity of each.
it is hoped that especially at this
time. when the Lincoln centenary
brings these war scenes back, this col-
lection may be purchased. Letters
have been revolved by Dr. F. P. Rob-
arts of New Haven, agent for collec-
tion. from prominent men allover the
state, urging the purchase of the col-
lection, and its installation in either
the capitol or the new state library.

LIGHTS FOR NEW HAVEN HARBOR
Board Approves Request for Them on
Breakwater.
' WASHINGTON. Feb. lO.—:«The lini-
ied States lighthouse board has issued
orders complying with the request of
the New Haven board of harbor corri-
missloners. submitted through Con-
gressman Sperry. for lights -on the
New Haven breakwater. The order
contemplates the cstablishmcntof a
l’lnlsclr gas buoy. ll-‘ill type. showing
a fixed white light vnr'iedby flushes 10
seconds light. and 10 seconds dark. as
near the present position of Party
liar buoyNo. 3 as the required depth
of water will permit. This buoy is
to be taken up during the winter sca-
sou. arid the. existing Party llur buoy
No. .‘i will be retained as a marker for
the. gas buoy during the time it is on
station. rrnd to mark the cluinuel at
other times. The baubcr board also
asked for range lights to mark-the
channel at West Haven river channel,
but the inspector reported against this
project and the lighthouse board
therefore has refused to accede to this
request.
Parcels Post Experiment.
WASHINGTON, Fell. lO.~—Thc sub
ject of parcels post has agitated con;
gross for several sessions, and those
who are for and against‘tlro system
have petitioned congress at great
length. Those who favor it and those.
who are opposed to It are about corral-
ly divided, And no mernber..ol‘ congress
can figure out the result. in Connec-
ticut, for instancc. the farmers are in
favor of the parcels post. while the
business men in the“ larger cities are
against it. Serratorrilereririge has pro-
posed a way out of the dilemma. lie
has introduced u‘resolrrtion authoriz-
ing the postoiiicc department. to select
four counties in the country for exper-
imental purposes. Ills ideals to have
rural parcels posts established in
these four counties on all the. rural
routes. the counties to be selected at
random by the department and in nu
tions of the country. This idea is
backed by the department and is in
line with the "original establishment
of rural free delircry and the system
proved so successful that now these
routes are in existence all over the
country. Senator Beveridge believes
that. his idea would prove whether ru-
ral parcels post. can be successfully
inaugurated or not and if it is suc-
cessful. he believes congress ought
to establish it There were several
towns selected in Connecticut for the
original experiment of rural freedo-
livery. and the new experiment might
also be'tried in the state. although
Connecticut has. really no eounty rural
delivery system. Fairileld county is.
however, pretty thoroughly covered
with rural delivery routes. and would
probably be selected, should there be a
county chosen from New England
