NEW HAVEN'S GROWTH
ESPECIALLY NOT tC ISAM Ti liURIXO
THE I'ASl J'lt'T ek; V WARS,
l'olnts "Where the 1 row 111 U Especially
Noticeable Town Farm Plot ami North
ern Section of tho City Greatly Improv
ing Finest Residential Qunrton The
Various Improvements.
The phenomenal growth of New Ha
ven during the pastten years Is proba
bly not realized by a large majority of
Its inhabitants, but that the staid old
town is growing and that rapidly is
plainly evident to any who knew the
city ten years ago and takes a walk
about the suburbs to-day. This
growth is especially apparent on the
Town Farm plot, so-called, where the
orea is being, and in tfaot is, nearly all
built up with fine looking modern
houses which would be a credit to any
'American city. All of them are very
sightly and attractive in appearance
and have been put up to stay by the
various New Haven builders. The fu
ture of that portion of the town is as
sured as a fine residential section of
the city, such as it is, is sure to be a
desirable location for a fine class of
people. There is, however, just at
present a cessation in the rush of build
ing, but several fine residences are just
being finished. No new dwellings are
being started just at present, but con
siderable property there is changing
hands at present, and the indications
are that the cessation of building Is
only temporary. ,
In the northern portion of the city
the growth in the last ten or fifteen
years has been the most notable in
many respectsof that in any portion of
the city. Fifteen years ago the section
beyond Humphrey street along State
was largely composed of vacant lots
and houses were comparatively few
and far apart. Within the last ten
years northern State street has built up
wonderfully, and now substantial large
buildings, many of brick, line the
street. The street from Humphrey
street to Forsyth Dye and Laundry
works has become a center for stores,
and is now quite a business part of the
city, there being in the neighborhood r.f
twelve or fifteen groceries and meat
markets within a small radius, two or
three dry 'goods and fancy stores, two
or three small hotels, fifteen to twenty
restaurants and saloons, besides large
numbers of boarding houses. Hum
phrey street is now far distant from
the butskirts of the city, the interven
ing portion being thickly built up to
Mill river at the foot of East Rock.
Between State and Orange street a
broad area of at least one hundred
acres has been thickly covered with
dwellings, all of which are fine types of
modern architecture, being as fine, and
many of them finer buildings, than
those on the Town Farm plot.
During the period of which we are
speaking the Marlin Fire Arms factory,
a large concern which employs about
two hundred men, nearly all skilled
mechanics, has been erected and is in a
flourishing condition and founded on a
firm basis. In addition to this factory
the Forsyth Dye works, which has been
established within the period, has been
more than doubled in size .during tne
last ten years. While the John Adt &
Sons' plant Is now being run to its ut
most capacity and part of the time the
hands work evenings, at other times
often twelve hours a day to turn out
the vast amount of work on hand. The
force of men employed at the last men
tioned establishment has been doubled
since the new management took charge
not long ago. In the progressive peri
od of the growth of this section of the
city on which we have remarked one
steamer house has been built, three
churches and two fine large schools
built, equipped according to all modern
methods.
; ' As one goes from upper State street
towards Whitney avenue he gradually
comes into one of the finest residential
portions of the city. The residences In
this northern section between Orange
street and Whitney avenue, in a drive
of the avenue, are unmistakably
among the most pleasing arrays of
modern residences to be found in the
state, and as we emerge upon Whitney
avenue the many fine buildings which
meet the eye fully bear out this opin
ion. Many of the residences have spa
clous grounds, and the landscape gar
dening, in most cases natural, is all
that the most fastidious tastes could
desire. Everywhere along this avenue
are to be found evidences of wealth and
refinement, and the section of the city
Is one of which every New Havener :s
assuredly proud.
ATHLETES HOME AGAIN.
Princeton Men Betnrn From Athens on
the Spree A Steerage Passenger Com
mits Suicide by Jumping Overboard.
New York, May 1. The North Ger
man Lloyd steamship Spree arrived
this morning from Bremen and South
ampton six hours behind her scheduled
time, having been detained by the low
tide in the River Wcser at Bremer
liaven for that time. Captain Wille
gerod to-day completed his 200th round
trip across the Atlantic.
Among the passengers on the Spree
were the four Princeton members of
the American athletic team which took
part in the Olympic games at Athens,
Robert Garrett, Jr., T. H. Colfeit, A. C.
Tyler and F. A. Cane. They said that
they had enjoyed a glorious trip and
Were all in fine condition.
Another distinguished passenger on
the Spree was W. Delancey Ward, the
painter.
While the Spree was rushing along
toward Fire Island at full speed at 2
o'clock this morning a steerage pas
senger named Sebastian Grabenhauer
committed suicide by leaping over
board from the port side, forward of
the saloon. Several officers saw him
jump, and the ship was at once stopped
and swung around in a circle, but it
was so dark that nothing could be seen
of him. He was a laborer, fifty-three
years old, and lived at Marshalltown,
la., but was not an American citizen.
His wife was -on board with him, but
she can assign no reason for his act.
' Invest $10,000,000 More.
Chicago, May 1. A special from
Butte, Mont., sEfys that the Rothschilds,
who recently bought for $7,500,000 a
quarter interest in the Anconia cjpper
company, have' now taken another
quarter for $10,000,000. They had this
option at the time of the original purchase-,
and a London expert has been
here making additional examinations
into the procerty.
WILT. VISIT BATTLEFIELDS,
Second Heavy and Twelfth Considering
I'luus for IeUicatlon of State Monu
ments, Hartford, May 1. Secretary Dwls'.it
C. Kilbourn of the Second Heavy artil
lery and General L. A. Dickinson of the
Twelfth regiment have had a confer
ence here In regard to the project that
the two commands shall make a union
excursion to tho battlefields in the
Shenandoah at the time of dedicating
tho state monuments that are to be
erected in their honor. The project in
volves the postponement of the Second
Heavy's dedication from the last of
June until September. Under the con
tract with Mr. Stephen Maslen of this
city, for the monument, it is stipulated
by Quartermaster General Dlsbrow
that the work shall be ready by June
20.
The monument Is to be erected in the
National cemetery at Arlington, but
the members of the regiment generally
desire to postpone the dedication until
September. The monument for the
Twelfth is also being made by Mr. Mas
len and will be placed at Winchester.
Both regiments were in the Shenan
doah, and th.e plan Is to have them re
visit the memorable scenes in that val
ley together.
The Twelfth will not dedicate until
the middle of September at least. Pos
sibly September 19 will be selected, as
that Is the anniversary of the battle of
Winchester. The day comes on Satur
day, and so a slight change In the date
of the trip may be necessitated. The
monument committee of the Twelfth
consists of Captain James E. Smith of
the Hartford Fire Insurance company,
Mayor A. C. Hendrick of New Haven,
who is also president of the Regimen
tal association; Stephen Ball, secretary
of the Hartford Life and Annuity;
George Glover of Windsor Locks, and
General L. A. Dickinson of this city.
It has been agreed to leave the project
for a union visit of the two commands
to a sub-committee from each. The
committee of the Twelfth will meet
here in two w-.eks, when the sub-committee
from that command will be ap
pointed. This sub-committee will re
port at the annual reunion of the reg
iment, which will be held in June on
the east shore near New Haven. The
arrangements for the dedication will be
completed at that time, and the orator
sejected. Judge Fenn of the supreme
court will deliver the address at the
dedication of the Second Heavy's mon
ument at Arlington. The details for
the union visit in the Shenandoah can
not be given until the sub-committees
have been appointed and have confer
red together concerning the project,
which has so many features of interest
for both commands.
The monuments themselves will be
exceptionally interesting, design and
Work being the best that Mr. Maslen
can give under the state appropriation.
Popular Catch-Words and Tkelr Origin.
(From the Baltimore Sun.)
Mention has been recently made of
the disputed origin of the word "teeto
tal," claimed by two inventors, one liv
ing in England and the other in Amer
ica, and each of whom may have hit
upon the word Independently and for
the different reasons assigned. To
such curious-minded persons as like to
know the whys, whens and wherefores
of everything, the origin of popular
catch-words and figures of speech is an
interesting subject.
The word "machine," as we use it po
litically, is another which, like "teeto
tal," is of doubtful parentage. In the
days of the old volunteer fire compa
nies, which in large cities were potent
factors in local politics, the phrase "to
run with the mSchine" came into com
mon use, and it meant that a man so
spoken of was identified with the polit
ical coterie of the fire company with
which he trained. The famous Boss
Tweed began his career In New York
"running with the machine" as a vol
unteer fireman. Yet the term as we
now employ it was used in England
long before. The Duke of Wellington,
in a letter to a friend in 1845, deploring
the increasing influence of popular ag
itation on the action of the House of
Parliament, said: "Such is the opera
tion of the machine as now established
that no Individual, be his character,
conduct in antecedent circumstances
and his abilities what they may, can
have any personal influence In gene
ral." We may have derived our term
"the machine" from our old volunteer
fire company days, but in the England
of Wellington's time there were no fire
companies exerting any political influ
ence. That much overworked word "crank"
first gained universal vogue In connec
tion with Guiteau's assassination of
President Garfield, but it was long be
fore that applied by the late Don Piatt,
who claimed to be its inventor, to Hor
ace Greeley the purpose of it being to
liken the famous editor to the crank of
a hand-organ, which is forever grind
ing out the same old tunes. The word,
as we have now come to apply it,
means much more and worse; it im
plies a condition of mind verging upon
insanity, and this has given rise to the
erroneous notion that it has its origin
in the German word "krank." The
word "Dago," now commonly applied
to Italians all over the country, came
originally from Louisiana. It at first
referred only to people of Spanish orl
gin.but was later applied to Italians
and Portuguese as well. The word is
a corruption of "Diego" (James), which
is a common Spanish name, San Diego
being the patron saint of the Span
iards. Another word of incessant employ
ment in American speech is "dude,"
with its feminine complement
"dudine." This may have seome to us
from the old English word for clothes
"duds." in earlier times spelled
"dudes." Thackeray writes of one of
his characters: "Her dresses were
wonderful, her bonnets marvelous.
Few women could boast such dudes."
Shakespeare, in "The Merry Wives of
Windsor," writes of a "bucke of dudes"
meaning a basketful of clothes ready
for washing. Its present-day literary
currency dates from February, 18T6,
when the word appeared in Putnam's
Magazine. But a famous New York
clubman, Mr. Herman Oelrichs, claims
the credit of first starting it as a popu
lar term of contempt or ridicule for an
overdressed person. He claims that a
youth of this type, who passed by the
Union club window with a mincing
step, provoked himself and another
cluhmanto hum together an accompan
iment to the youth's walk, thus: "Du
da, de, du du, du de," and that he re
marked. Good enough. Dude is the
proper name for it," and that thus the
word was born.
The words "jingo" and "Jingoism,''
just now at the end of everybody'
tungue and pen, are also of disputed
derivation. We all know about the
English music-hall song which set the
word going with a new meaning in 187T,
but the original coinage of the term
"By Jingo!" is quite doubtful. In the
Basque language the word Jingo
means God, and it is widely believed
that "By Jingo!" was a form of oath
with which the Basque sailors famil
iarized the English sailors, and,
through them, all English-speaking
people. But others believe the word is
a corruption of St, Glngoulph. It is
one of the oddities of popular word
making that the term "jingoism," as
now used, is a complete travesty of the
sentiment of the song from which it
was taken. A jingo, 'either in England
or America, Is now set down as a man
spoiling for a fight, eager for war at
any cost. But the original music-hail
song, with the jingo chorus, expressed
exactly the opposite sentiment a de
sire for peace. It began with "We
don't want to fight," and its fiercest
war note was struck in the declaration
that if they had to do what they would
rather not, they had plenty of men,
ships and money.
"John Bull," the mythical personage
supposed to represent the English peo
ple, and now figuring largely in our ed
itorial writings, and in cartoons, was
the invention of Dr. Arbuthnot, in one
of his satirical sketches ridiculing the
great Duke of Marlborough. In the
opinion of Dr. Johnson, Arbuthnot was
"the first man among the eminent wri
ters in Queen Anne's time." He drew
John Bull as the typical Englishman
a stout, red-faced old farmer, far too
corpulent for comfort, choleric, but
wlthall an honest and well-meaning
fellow. He clothed him in leather
breeches and top boots, and put a
stout oaken cudgel in his hand, and a
bulldog at his heels, and so set him up
for all time, to serve as the representa
tive Englishman. He may have been
not so bad a caricature in the days of
Queen Anne. But to-day, certainly,
there is much force in Leslie Stephens'
remark that "he completely hides the
Englishman of real life." The average
Englishman of 1896 is physically no
stouter, certainly, than, and probablv
not as stout as the average American;
and the stout cudgel and the bulldo:.;
are no longer apt symbols of the mod
ern British disposition. He has lost
the excessive pugnacity of his forefatn
ers. and, as we have lately seen, is
above all anxious to keep the peaie
with his Uncle Samuel.
Speaking of "Uncle Sam" and
"Brother Jonathan," whose names are
being freely used, too, in the passing
international flurry, there is no doubt
about their origin. When General
Washington went to Massachusetts to
take command of the Revolutionary
army he found a great lack of ammu
nition and other supplies. He turned
for aid to Governor Jonathan Trumbull
of Connecticut, and got it, and in many
emergencies of that period he use! the
phrase, "We must consult Brother
Jonathan on the subject." The expres
sion became nationally c.trrent, and it
stands as the American lavallel to
"John Bull." "Uncle Sam" was not in
vented until the war of 181'.!. Two In
spectors of war supplies at Troy, N. Y.,
were named Ebenezer and Samuel Wil
son. A workman in their tmploy wa:S
marking a lot of casks received from
one Elbert Anderson, a Nsw York con
tractor, and which were thus stamped,
"E. A. U. S." A bystamlir asked the
workman what these marks meant,
and he replied that thoy probably
meant "Elbert Anderson unci Uuol
Sam," alluding to Inspector Samuel
Wilson, who was locally called "Uncle
Sam." Thus the initials of the United
States were transformed l.y a locfil
joke Into a national ftobviriuet, winch
will doubtless last as Ions as our re
public. But who first undertook to give the
portrait of "Uncle Sam" or "Brother
Jonathan" as a long, loan, slab-sided,
luntern-Jawed Individual Is t-ot known.
Whoever he was, he li'oaled us. There
Is a strong reason for believing I hat
the average American of to-day is
heavier In the scales, broader between
the shoulders, deeper In the chest ami
of more generous waist-girth than .'! ny
of his civilized contemporaries.'
A VIOLIN MACI1INK.
A Seattle Man's Machine With Which He
Makes Fiddles.
(From the Seattle Post-Intellitienccr.)
There is a violin maker in this city who
has an altogether new theory in regard
to this instrument, and one so new that
It is totally at variance with the gener
al impression. It is that there Is no ac
cident or luck in the superior tone of
the violin, but that they can be made
of a given tone one after the other with
perfect assurance. It has been asserted
that a good, honest violin maker may
turn out fifty specimens of his best
work, and yet only a few of these prove
to be first-class instruments. The his
tory of famous masters in the art
would seem to bear out this assertion.
H. W. Oakes, who has been making
violins in this city for eighteen
months, and elsewhere for nearly twice
as many years, brushes all this away
like a mouldy cobweb, and says he can
Insure a first-class instrument every
time and that there is no secret about
it.
"The trouble about all the makers is
that they do all their work by rule of
thumb and by the eye, I make mine by
mathematical rules. Once having at
tained a certain perfection I can dupli
cate the result with mathematical ac
curacy." "And the tone?"
"The tone follows as a matter of
course. It must. Now, there used to
be secrets in the art, of course. It was
long before any one could turn out an
instrument that could compete with the
old Cremonas. First, thoy thought the
secret of the latter's superiority lay in
the varnish and many years were
spent in attempts to find out that se
cret They found it out at last, or
rather, that it was no secret. They
discovered that the cabinet makers of
Cremona used the same varnish as
Stradivari used. Then they thought
the secret must be in the wood, and
for some time they pinned their confi
dence to that. They took extraordi
nary pains to get just such resonance
and letter tone, and even took the wood
from a fine violin and put it with other
wood, but with all their efforts they
made as many failures as successes.
"Now, Stradivari used the same ma
terial for the whole of the 800 violins he
made, and yet the good violins were
the accident. Only fifty of all he made
turned out to be good instruments, and
yet you call him a master."
"Are there any violins comparable
with these fifty?"
"Certainly. Within the last fifty
years just as good violins have been
made as have ever been made."
"But age has something to do with
tone?"
"Undoubtedly, provided the violin is
played on. It might lie a century, and
if not used would not improve at all.
Violins are like everything else In the
world; they have their btrth, their
growth, maturity and decline. I would
say that at about seventy-five a violin
would be at its best. I know that af
ter 100 years they begin to lose their
power, and finally become compara
tively worthless so far as tone is con
cerned." "And how, in making an Instrument,
are you so confident what its tone will
be, Mr. Oakes?"
"By this little machine here," he re
plied, pointing to a machine that had
the appearance of a little turning lathe.
"It you take one of my violins and
mark It into small squares you will
find the thickness corresponds In each
corresponding square. This machine
will show the difference, if It is only
the thickness of a piece of gold leaf. I
spent twenty years in studying the de
fects of violins and how to remedy them
before I made one. Then I got It down
to mathematical nicety and I made
this machine to insure it.
"Why, here is a shop violin, costing
$1.50 that I have worked on for experi
ment. Because of Its correction of
tone it is now worth from $50 to $100."
"How many violins could you make
in a year?"
"I could make about one first-class
one a month; ten in the course of a
year, and if I disposed of that number
in Seattle I should be contented and
happy."
"If they should all prove to be good?"
was hazarded.
"There is no if. They would bo math
ematically perfect, and the tone would
speak for itself, straight to the heart
of those who know music."
Speculation on the Exchange Practically
at a Standst ill.
New York, May 1. Speculation at the
stock exchange, except in a few spe
cialties, was practically at a standstill
to-day. Tobacco was the most active
stock on the list. It opened slightly
higher, at 72, broke to 694, rallied to
71tf and fell to 6869. The early
rise, was due to the dismissal of the
application for an injunction seeking
to restrain the payment of the scrip
dividend, and the decline to a pressure
of long stock on statements that the
matter would not be finally disposed of
for at least two months.
In the meantime the Farmers' Loan
and Trust company is paying both the
cash and scrip dividends. Sugar, St.
Paul, Burlington and Quincy, and
Reading followed next in point of ac
tivity. Sugar moved up to 124 and
receded to 123124. Burlington and
Quincy, St. ' Paul, Reading, Western
Union, and the Anthracites and South
westerns showed little of interest.
Reading was strengthened for a time
on the report from Philadelphia of the
signing of the foreclosure decree. The
report that the New York coal compa
nies had advanced the price of anthra
cite twenty-five cents per ton, to take
effect immediately, however, fell flat.
It will be remembered that the Read
ing and Lehigh Valley advanced prices
early In the week.
London did little or nothing owing to
the fact that the exchange there wa3
closed, according to custom on May
day. The gold shipments naturally oc
casioned considerable comment. At
one time it was stated that $1,700,000
would be forwarded, but at the close of
the day it was stated tit the sub-treasury
that the net engagements amount
ed to $1,450,000, a quarter of a million
having been returned by one exporter.
According to good authorities, however,
only $1,200,000 will go.
Speculation closed steady in tone. Net
changes show, declines of jer cent,
outside of Tobacco, which fell 2V2 per
cent. Sugar, St. Paul, Northwest and
Western Union gained VtS per cent.
The bond market was dull and firm.
The sales footed up $909,000.
Following are tne closing prices re
ported by Prince & Whitely, bankers
and brokers, 46 Broadway, New York,
and 15 Center street, New Haven:
