THE NEW LONDON NAVY YARD.

THE NEW LONDON NAVY fAhO.
 The people of New London and vicinity are somewhat encouraged by the very favor able notice given the Thames naval station in the annual report of Admiral Nichols, chief of the bureau of docks and yards. The Admiral says that on recent visit to this station he was strongly impressed with it's advantages as site for an important naval station. Situated on the left bank of the Thames river, five or six miles from it's mouth, with deep water along it's entire front, the ground sloping back from the river's edge, dry, gravelly soil, interspersed with the best of granite for building pur- poses, it seems to possess all the advantages for the making of first-class yard" Very little has been done toward it's development in this direction, the erection of few build ings of an unsubstantial character, and a small wharf, being all that has been accom- plished. The wharf is fast going to de- cay, and needs constant repairs What ever use is to be made of this property the Admiral thinks it is manifest that it's entire length should be faced with quay wall, in eighteen to twenty feet of water, and that this should be the first work undertaken not only
 
 formation of space in which to deposit the material which must be removed from the surface in establishing building sites. He has asked for an appropriation for the con- mencement of this work, and thinks it would be wise measure to appropriate $200,00O annually to carry it to completion.
 But the most important part of the Admi- ral's reference to the Thames station is what he says concerning it's future. He calls at tention to the fact that the property com prised in the two navy yards at New York and Boston is, year by year, becoming more and more valuable for commercial purposes. Pressure has already been brought to bear upon the government to force a. relinquish- ment of these properties, and it is not unrea- sonable to suppose that under the fostering care of Congress. our shipping and commer- cial interests will be greatly enlarged land the demand for wharf and warehouse room at these two important cities. will be so great that the pressure upon the government may not be resisted. Therefore, says Admiral l Nichols, Situated nearly midway between 1 those two seaports, and with every advantage 1 for creating frst-class yard, would it not l be the part of wisdom to recognize the possi- | bihties, and commence the work that will | eventually make of New London the largest l navy yard in the world ?"
 There is no question but that !. first-class 1 navy yard could be made at New London. As | it would be good thing for New London, and also for the rest of the State, to have l such yard there it is to be hoped that Ad- l miral Nichols suggestion will find favor.

The Wisconsin Prohibitory State Commit the party upon having cast over 13 1000 votes at the late election, and advising thorough organization and no compromise in the fu- ture. Incidentally it is asserted that the Re- publican party has outlived it's influence, and that many of the more prominent leaders of the Democratic party in the State have for months past advocated that party's disband- ing, as it has no living issue at stake, and no principles worth contending for.

in straitened circumstances. The knotty point for the tribunal to settle is which of the two was the survivor. If the husband lived longer than his wife he became the possessor of her property, and the French law would now assign it to his heirs-namely, his father, mother and brother. If, on the other hand, the husband was first drowned, his repre- sentatives have no clairl, and the two millions belong to the wife's family.
 The Vienna theatre fire has stirred up the Fire Commissioners of New York city to order an investigation to be made in all the city theatres and other public places of amusement, with a view to ascertaining if better protection against fire cannot be se- cured in them. The need of such an investi- gation- is shown by the opinion of an old and experienced fireman, who is quoted as saying that there is not 8 single theatrein the city at the present time that is absolutely safe, so far as adequate precautions against fire are concerned. Scenery is improperly stored, and the fire-proof paint which it is claimed would render it safe from ignition from gas- jets is seldom used because of the additional expense it entails. The ''fies'' are not cleaned regularly, and the accumulated dust on the beams and other lodges is liable to be- come ignited and cause spread of flames at any time in some of the theatres. The space under the stage is often made general storehouse for loose properties, which would be simply so much fuel for the flames were such to break out from any cause, and the dressing rooms are frequently so arranged as to render them very dangerous and difficult to escape from in sudden emergency or panic. In only two theatres is the necessary precaution of a fire-proof partition between the stage and the auditorium adopted. In all others, according to the fireman, the cell ings would fall and crush the audience be- fore they could all escape were fire to oc-

Shirts.


 We lately saw an advertisement in Boston paper offering for sale an assortment of fine shirts, among which are mentioned the ''busi- ness, opera, dress, party and wedding shirts.'' The suspicion that there might be distinc- tion without difference is rudely dispelled by the fact that they are all listed and divided off into such lots as would warrant distinct Individuality to each separate shirt. But it is hard for us to realize that such things can be. It is impossible for us to believe that ''business shirt' materially differs from 8 ''dress shirt,' or that an f'opera shirt'' would not be the most appropriate thing in the world to wear at party. And then, what exquisite torture it must be to a financier to be caught out in his dress shirt and obliged to transact business unadorned with the re- gular business shirt. Tears come to our eyes unhidden, and our heart is torn into kndling wood and tortured with first-proof sympathy for the poor wretch arrayed in a dress shirt, standing by the altar and promis- ing to love, honor and cherish 8 fair and radiant bride for life. Married! And minus a wedding shirt!" Clothed, but in paltry ''dress shirt! !'' Surely that man should fly from the wrath of outraged society and call on rocks to cover him. But the subject is painful. To us, perhaps, it presents mani fold horrors when we realize the absolute impossibility of having our only shirt cut over into five distinct styles No-no, it cannot-must not be. Let us rather fly this terrible nightmare of contemplation, and seek lodge in some vast solitude where the cruel forms of too-too fastidous society will never intrude their baneful obligations.
