NEW HAVEN MORNING JOURNAL AND COURIER, THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 1896. ' A b K HA fitf. t'OJVA. X11E OLDEST DAILY PAPEW PtB I.ISHKO IN CONNECTICUT. Chicago has 3,825 lawyers, and she Bcema to need them all. Philadelphia Is not New York, or even New Haven. A decree has just been Is sued there which prohibits street or gans from playing after ten o'clock at night. Gustave Howell, a church member and active in the recent crusade asainst the Sunday liquor sellers in Jersey City, has himself been convicted of violat ing the Sunday law by selling a box of sardines on May 31. The saloonkeep ers brought the case against him as a test case, and their success in securing his conviction leads them to promise to shut up all business in the city if the law continues to be enforced against them. They even threaten to stop car travel and invade the churches and make complaints against the organists who play for pay. Some of the papers have referred to the vast expenditure In connection with the coronation at Moscow as if It were paid by the Czar out of his own pocket. The fact is that the Czar has no civil list, but draws at discretion upon the Imperial treasury, every ruble in which Is supposed to be absolutely at his own disposal, so that his resources are prac tically inexhaustible. He Is also the owner of Immense estates In various parts of Russia, The Swod, or Russian code, describes the Czar as an autocrat Whose power is without limit, while in the Russian catechism, drawn up for schools, it Is stated that every one of his subjects owes him "adoration." The largest cotton mill In the South, the Eagle and Phenix at Columbus, Georgia, has been put into the hands of a receiver. Hard times and the low prices of cotton goods are given as cause, but reckless management in the past Is another and more Important cause. This mill years ago obtained the extraordinary privilege of establishing a savings bank adjunct, where it re ceived deposits of savings from em ployes and others. At one time these deposits aggregated over a million dot lars, and were used by the directors to extend the plant. Lately the managers have had to borrow money on most disadvantageous terms to meet the de mands of depositors, and the receiver ship finds over $100,000 of the money of employes credited against the company with no cash on hand to meet the claims. An extraordinary thief has just been sent to jail for six months in London. She Is a widow of good social standing, with an income of $3,500 a year, who, for a year or more past, had attended fash lonable weddings uninvited and helped herself that whatever presents struck her fancy. Sixteen thefts were traced to her, one of those for which she was prosecuted being that of four jewelled pins from the house of the dowager Countess of Malmesbury. She was caught in a very strange way. She dis appeared from her home and her friends who feared she might have come to harm and had no suspicion of her conduct, sent a minute description of her to the police; the police had a de scription of the wedding reception thief, whom they had been unable to find; the two descriptions tallied and the wo man was arrested. She gave an as sumed name, and under that name was tried and sent to prison. A! Norway correspondent of Hard ware writes: Until this year there have been but few American bicycles sold here, and the English and German man ufacturers have had the market almost to themselves. This year, however, the American cycles have taken the lead entirely, and the demand for the Amer ican machines is even larger than the supply. We are certain that if the 'American cycles could have been got here quick enough there would have been sold still a good many more than what have been sold. The principal reason why the American cycles have gained so quickly in favor is on ac count of their extreme lightness and superior finish. The public at first were a little afraid that the wood rims, which are now almost exclusively used on the American machines, should not give satisfaction, and that they would not be as strong and serviceable as the steel tiree; but we still have the first complaint to hear, although we have sold several hundreds of machines this year. An interesting feature of the Penn sylvania insurance report is the part devoted to the sub-standard business the insuring of impaired, or, as they are termed in England, "diseased risks which has been undertaken by a Philadelphia trust company, empower ed by its charter to combine life insur ance with Its trust business. This kind of life insurance stands upon the ground that all degrees of personal vi tality are duly notable, and that un der-average lives may be insured at a premium made sufficiently high to cov er the added risk. The plan adopted in Pennsylvania, however, differs materi ally from that in vogue in England, where such insurance societies are nu merous. Sub-standard insurance does not rate each individual case up to a higher premium according to the haz ard, as is done lareely if not altoeether in Great Britain, but creates a stand ard below which, if an applicnnt fall, no insurance is granted. Therefore, a regular level premium can be (jlven so that all Insuring at the same age and for the same kind of policy will have the same rate of premium. 'The German-American Sound Mon lengue declares, Irrespective of litlcs, that they will support the party which by its platform em phatically declares for the main tenance of the gold standard and against free coinage at any ratio. They are supported in this declaration by 350 out of 3S7 German-American newspapers throughout the country, and by nine-tenths of the German American voters in the doubtful States." This impressive telegram was sent to St. Louis yesterday by Oswald Often- dorfer, William Steinway and others, nd copies of it were distributed among the delegates. Fortunately it was not needed to incite the Republicans there assembled to take right action concern- g the vital issue of the campaign, but it showed them plainly the political lsdom of such action. The German- Americans form a large and influential body of pretty independent voters in most of the States, and thoy are usualy on the right side of great public ques- ons. They are too well educated and too much interested in the prosperity of the country to be deluded with the silver humbug. PLVCKlXtt VI' SU.VK COURAfiE, There is evidently a revival of hone. or, at least, of the fighting spirit in the breasts of some Democrats who had come to the conclusion that nothing could save their party from silver suicide. William C. Whitney, who had decided to go to Europe and thus get away from a spectacle which would be painful to him, has changed his mind and will stay at home and go to Chi cago. He doesn't think he can do much good, but will try to do what he can. It is also said that United States Sena tor Arthur P. Gorman will reconsider his determination not to attend the con vention at Chicago and that he will go as a delegate-at-large from Maryland. His course is said to be the result of a conference held in New York with Wil liam C. Whitney, at which it is said an agreement was made that both men should go to Chicago and use their ef forts to turn the tide in favor of the adoption of a gold plank in the national Democratic platform. And the New York Evening Post is encouraged enough to say this: The situation is now greatly changed. The Republican platform is as unambiguous for gold as the other one can be for silver. As the expected purpose of the Democrats to make a silver platform prevented the Republicans from adopting a straddle, so the platform of the latter will pre vent tie Democrats from indulging in that diversion. A straddle at Chicago would be followed by a tremendous bolt of sliverites to the ranks of the ropu lists, and would not satisfy the sound money Democrats of the East. Conse quently there is only one of two courses open to the party, either a free-silver platform or a gold-standard one. There is still a fighting chance for the latter, since many delegates supposed to be free-silver men are uninstructed and many are still to be elected, but the chance, we regret to say, is slender. Of course the Democratic party could not win even on a gold platform twenty-four carats fine. But Its death on such a platform would be more respec table than the death which has seemed to be in store for it. Ay OTHER DRUNKARD CVHT!. Little is heard now about the "goH" cure of drunkards, and it is very evi dent that the drunkards are not all cured. But they can be, if they will only take the "cure" of Dr. Oppenheim er, of New York. Dr. Oppenheimer, like other great drunkard curers, does not tell how he does it, but he has succeed ed in so impressing the rulers of Belle vue hospital that experiments with his cure are being carried on in that place. While rooms were being prepared for the tests five drunken workmen at the hospital were given a preliminary test. They are all confirmed drinkers. They go on periodical sprees which land them in a hospital; when they are suf ficiently recovered they work about the place, get a little money, and then get drunk and begin the round over again. They all feel better and say they have no desire to drink, although they are at liberty to do so if they wish. Super intendent Murphy says the improve ment in their condition is remarkable. On Monday six patients from outside were placed in the room set apart for this treatment. The account given by a reporter who was sent to watch pro ceeding contains this passage: They are in the worst stages of delirium tremens, and they are brought to the hospital in ambulances. Four were placed under Dr. Oppenheimer in the morning and two at noon. Last night they were already greatly improved. Superintendent Murphy and Assistant Superintendent Richard said that one of them was about the worst case of delirium tremens they ever saw. His hands were drawn up in front of him when he was not picking; at imaginary insects on the bedclothes, and he was afraid of everyone who came near him. He was unable to speak. This was at noon, when Dr. Oppenheimer gave him his first dose. In the evening the ten- 4 W. "APENTA" THE BEST NATURAL APERIENT WATER. Bottled at the UJ HUNYADI Springs, Buda Pest, Hungary. "Gentle, but satisfactory in its action. Remarkable for its richness in magnesium lphate, exceeding that of all other bitter waters always of the same strength, which is, of course, a matter of great importance." Neiv York Medical Journal.

A similar change had taken place in the condition of the others. It is claimed that Dr. Oppenheimer can "cure" drunkards in two or three days. His cure is given by the tea spoonful. If all that is said about the "cure" is true nobody need be a drunk ard who doesn't want to be. fasuiox sows. Two Kinds of Outing KIrh. Readymade outing dresses that arc really made well and that meet the re quirements of golf, the wheel and the road are to be had for very little mon ey. For the wheel you will wear stocky, square-heeled shoes laced to the ankle and above them plaid golf stockings turned over at the top. Golf stockings are now more used for the wheel than for golf itself. For the lat ter sport leggings are more in vogue for women than are the plaid stock ings. For outing, the road and hunting tall laced boots reaching to the knee are the right thing. Leggings are worn over low shoes for golfing and walking by those who find the boots a little stiff. The rest of the costume consists of a pair of knickerbockers made one with the skirt at the band, both fastening at the sides, with no opening at the back. The side buttons snugly and the skirt reaches a little be low the knees. The bodice is a belted jacket and may be worn either open or closed over a shirt waist. Very swell folk wear a stiff front shirt, which keeps fresh better than the soft ones. Adjustable collars are worn, of course, and a great many more folks wear pa per collars on the road than any one thinks. They look as well as linen for wheel use, and they arc easily replaced. While many of the summer comfort seekers try to find it in more or less arduous exercise that demands some such rig as that just described, there are more who confine themselves to or dinary gowns, aiming at simple jaunti ncss as the chief mark of the outing. A serviceable and commendable type of this sort of rig is presented herewith, and in the original was gray mohair, with a vest of white mull, and trimmed simply with mohair braid and pearl buttons. Two lace jabots were added, as shown, and the wide mohair dollar was wired to shape. Mohair is a very popular fabric this summer, and there is a fine variety of its weaves. Rome of them, especially in black, come so overlaid with silk figuring as to be as lustrous as silk. When a woman is in doubt as to the material of her outing dress mohair of some sort or other is her safest choice. FLORETTE. StVALTAWS.

"And did my pre decessor nut find a place in ynur hearts?" asked the new missionary. "Well, the next thing to it," answered the savage, guardedly.

"Mamma." asked the littl" girl, posit ing at the woman on the other side of the car, "what makes the lady wear her rings outside her glove?" "Hush," said, the mother, in an aggravating stage whisper. "Don't be rude. The lady wears her rings outside her glove to keep them from blackening her fing ers." Indianapolis Journal. "Sir, said the citizen, "the car I rode home on last night was so crowded that people, myself among thorn, had to hang on by their eyelids, so to speak." The street railway magnate went on writing. "So crowded, in fact, that the conductor was unable to collect all the fares." The magnate's pen dropped to the floor. "What was the number of that car?" he asked, eagerly. Indian apolis Journal.

To prevent chemicals running down the side of the bottle when pouring, coat the rim of the bottle with par afllne wax by dipping the mouth of the bottle in the melted wax. All trays must be washed after using. The decomposition of chemicals in an unwashed tray will often spoil fresh solutions if put into the tray. Never leave solutions standing in trays; when through using turn the solution into a glass bottle. When not In use trays should be turned upside down on a shelf or table. Developing solutions should be fil tered between each using. Bits of film often. come off the plate, and if left in the developer will settle on the platj and cause a spot on the negative. The bettPr way Is to filter a solution after using and before returning it to the bottle. To ensure perfectly clear negatives always use clean hypo. Hypo which has been used several times becomes a dark muddy color, and is apt to stain the negative. Hypo is so cheap that one can afford to use fresh, and run no risk of spoiling negatives. In placing plates in the holders, in stead of using a brush for dusting, take a piece of surgeon's rotton, roll it into a soft ball, and rub lightly over the plate. This will remove the specks of dust, and will not scratch the plate. It often happens when traveling that a dark room Is not always to be found In which to change plates in the hold ers. The provident amateur carries a candle with him, and when no dark room is convenient he lights the can dle, sets it under a table, and changes the plate on the table. This can be done with perfect safety if care is tak en that no reflected light strikes the plates. The plates being in the shad ow, and the light from the candle being rather dim, the plates are not injured any more than by a red light. Shakespeare left five bequests to buy rings.
