In a riot of brilliant color and In an r.tmosnhere of delicate perfume the seventy-third annual fair of the American Institute opened yesterday after noon in the Herald i tare Exhibition Hall, Broad- Tray. Thirty-fourth and Thirty-fifth sts. Experts in the- flower line say that the showing of chrys anthemums at this fair is the finest In the world, and it would be difficult to Imagine a collection comprising more color or varieties of the splendid queen of autumn flower*. Bunches of cut chrys anthemums, each as largre as a dinner plate, nod in their high stands at their neighbors that still cling: to the parent bush. TlKht yellow flowers, feathery white ones, curling Pinks tnd straight petaJled reds, blooming by the hundreds on bush and tree, vie with one another in the contest for su premacy. In the mi.lst of all this eplpndor of color there are two plants which never fail to win admiration for their daintiness. They are covered with masses ofxfltarry flowers, rr>-at yellow centres, with white petals like field daisies. Another Interesting bush shows the original chrysanthemums— yellow Sowers, not so large as a ten-cent piere in dlameten The "freak" of the fair is a tree which Is bloom ing with twenty-four different varieties of chrysan thenxtnns. IWb is advertised as "a pardonable specie? of graft from Chicago." Besides the chrysanthemums ere Is a large col led • of orchids -r.d of ros.-s and carnations at their best, while palms, ferns and other preens are banked effectively In the hall. Among v.'- exhibitors in this department are H. McKay Twombly, Madiaon. N. J.: M C. D. Borden. Oceanic, N. J.: C. B. I • under, Tuxedo, N. V.; D. K. Oppenhelmer. " kers, N. V : Mrs. M. E. Sand.

NOVEMBER 11. 1904= A DAY OF SERENITY. t Connecticut "Fed" Peaceably Elects Officers and Changes Constitution. TUT telegraph to THE tribcne-1 D anbury. Conn.. Nov. 10.— The r««Urn of peace In the Connecticut State Federation of Women's Clubs ■was uninterrupted by the amendment of the con stitution and election of officers, which took place this afternoon. Both vot»>e were absolutely unani mous, and, whereas the tellers at the convention of the New- York State Federation had to sit up till 3 o'clock In the morning-. counting- the ballots which the delegates took all day to deposit, the balloting In th« Connecticut federation was all oveT In fifteen minutes. It resulted In the election without a single dissenting voice, of the following; officers: Presi dent. Mrs. Charles H. Briscoe. of Er.fie'd; first vice president. Miss Mary M. Abbott, of Watertowß; second vice-president. Mrs. Kdward H. Smiley, of Hartford; recording secretary. Mrs. J. R. Mason, of Derby; corresponding secretary. Miss Bertha A. Wletine;, of Enneld: treasurer. Mr«. W. A. Arnold, of \Vn.-y said," observed Miss Abbott. that this was the one bit of constructive work done at the federation, and I think the other States are a little jealous of us They say. 'Little Con necticut came and got what she asked for, while much larger States couldn't get anything. " The morning was devoted to reports of standing committees, which showed in the aggregate a large amount of work accomplished. Mrs. F. W. Gerard, of the committee on forestry, said that Norwalk and South Norwalk had waged such ef fective war on the elm tree beetle that the work had attracted favorable notice from the State Forester. "The work of the committee consists chiefly in diffusing information." said Mrs. Gerard, "and one of the Questions I am oftenest called upon to answer is. 'How shall we get a tree warden 7* That Is the easiest thing In the world. First, you select your man" "Or woman." suggested some one from the floor. 'There are such things as wise men." paid Mrs. Gerard, severely. "First, you select a wise man. Then you get another wise man to nominate him In the caucus. That is all that is necessary. He Is sure to go In becauje the office isn't sought after by politicians." In presenting the report of the civics committee. Mrs. George Franklin Newcomb, of Haven. told how one club had rescued from weeds and wilderness several plots at the junction of roads, and had thereby roused sympathetic action In nearby yards and streets, until the wilderness had blossomed as the rose. "Still other clubs," she proceeded, "have seen with sadness the neglected and bramble over grown old cemeteries. The toppling headstones have beer. s»t in place, the walks cleaned, the stone walls around the grounds have been repaired, and. In one instance, at least, the town authorities were so moved by the club's care and energy that j: 800 was voted for cemetery improvements. In other towns the tattered and demoralizing bill boards have been looked after, and when their purpose has been accomplished they are no longer left to the mercy of the wind and rain. Tree war dens have been appointed, and attention has been called to the condition of the streets and roads. In several school? the stamp saving card system has been introduced and habits of thrift encour aged. The jl.j 1 . av:iilt- court bill is now a law in Connecticut, and many clubs are giving time an.! Influence to the success of this most beneficial law." The convention closed at Z o'clock, and the dele gates repaired to the home of Mrs. F. E. Hartwell. which is Just across the Street from the r>lace of meeting, the. Second Baptist Church. Here they w^re entertained at tea by the clubs of Danbury. ar.i the adjoining town of Bethel. Directly after ward they dispersed by various trains to different parts of the State. "It was the nicest convention we ever had." said one woman to a proup of delegates at th« station, "and the hospitality of Danburv could not be ex cee< if>-}_ it gives the lie absolutely tn the popular notion that New-Englanders are reserved and cold." ITS YEAE OF WORK Woman's Municipal League Shows Splendid Record of Civic Improvements. Th?t th« Woman's Municipal League of New- York has done effective work for the city during the last year was shown by the reports of the various committees at the annual business meet ing which was held yesterday morning at the City Club. Nos. 55 and 57 West Forty-fourth-st. Th committee on l^e water fojntalr.a reported that three fountains have been placed during the year— given by Mrs. Culver, at the Jerry McAuley Mission, in \Ya.ter-st.; another, the gift of Mrs. "William Dodge, In Pike-st.. and the third et Bethany Chapel, Tenth-aye. and Thirty-flfth-st. A fourth will soon be placed in the Greenwich district, for which Miss Annie Lean' will supply the ice. Mrs. Perry, chairman of the transportation com mittee, said that the citizens of Boston, where she T.as recently made a visit, seem, to possess a sixth sense— sense of civio pride. There one may enter a trolley car without being told to "Step lively." arid one may take a. cab without having to listen to profanity or demurs. The work which is constantly gcir.s or; to make Boston a city beauti ful car.not be laid directly to the women of the city, she said, but it is aided by women's enthu siasm and persistency. Mrs. Percy wished to pro test against the blockhouse of the subway at k-. and which has accomplished ruch «i,;<3ndiii results. The committee on streets, of which Miss Cath arine 8. ] erich is C.. airman, has been Interested la the Juvenile City League during the year, and has aiso distributed thousands of folders on the prevention of tuberculosis, etx:.

She also reported that the petition for a waiting house at the terminal of the Broadway line had beoo ranted, arid that the ground for the house was now be;n*r looked over. Reports of the Chester and Murray HUI and Greenwich branches were also made. Miss Chanter, president of the league, made a re pen of 177 new members during the last year, arid she chpse a delegation to appear at the meeting of the Board of 'Ksllma.t- and Apportionment, to signify the favorable attitude of the league toward the creation of a seaside park at Rockaway.

A maiden stood where the fields were Elpe, And gathered the golden wheat; • Gayly she sang as she bound her sheaves. And laid them about her feet. One marked her there as she passed her by. Alone with her hard-earned spoil. And spoke of rest, for the sun was high, And the reaper spent with toll. But the maiden smiled, as her glad voice said: "Nay, lady. I may not yield. The work la great, but the work is sweet, 1 toll In my father's tleld." Gleaners of Christ, In your lonely toll. When weary and fain to yield. . Take comfort here, though the work is great, "Ye toil in your Father's field." And the Fathers house lies over the hill. Where the sun of life zoes down; There shall ye rest, and the Father's smile Forever your work shall crown. \E. G. sttiar — MONEY RECEIVED. M. H.

ACTORS' CHURCH ALLIANCE ENTERTAINS An Interesting programme was given at the en tertainment yesterday afternoon by the Actors' Church Alliance, in the 'liege Hall of the Hotel Astor, and many and enthusiastic were the en comiums be-towod upon Mrs. Beasts Taylor Ben nlngton. chairman of the fciiterUiinment committee, and her corps of able assistants for their excellent work and its gratifying results. The Rev. Thomas R Slicer. in the opening ad dress, outlined briefly but dearly the alms and ob jects of the alliance, which, he said, stood above all things else for church unity. Up to the time of the organization of the society the church had been united mainly upon one point— namely. its opposi tion to the stage— but It had since discovered that it lacked on« important quality which the stage possessed. Interest, and Its ministers were now learning from the dramatic profession to make their sermons Interesting. In the union Of church and stage there was much to be gained, and noth ing to be lost, on both sides. Dr. Slicer concluded by advocating a more universal adherence to the gospel of sunshine, observing that the only thing In life worth multiplying la Its Joy. „ The programme Included a planoforlj solo by Miss Grace Ksterbrook Alasworth. selections by the Vlardot Quartat, a reading by Frederick S. Abbott, a vocal solo by Miss Maud Lambert, a violin solo by Mss Agnes Chxistemsen and an illus trated lecture on "The Island of Jersey" by Mm*. Ahler-Chesiey.

Central di Cesnola, director of the Metropoli tan Museum of Art. is greatly pleased at evi dence of public Interest In the condition of the exterior of the Museum building ha Central Park. He indorses the plan of Profesor R. Ogden Do remus to coat the walls of the Museum with parafflne wax. as the obelisk was coated a num ber of years ago, and as Grants Tomb has recently b«en treated. General dl Ccsr.oia yesterday showed a copy of the lease by which the etty gave the Museum the custody of the building.
