IS THE DREAM O,ERe


 Some time ago the New York Sun pre- dicted that Civil Service Reform, as under stood by the Mugwnmps, would not prosper during the present administration. And it must be admitted that thus far the Suns prediction has been in the main, justified by the facts. Thus encouraged, the Sun yester- day spoke of ''the end of the Mugwump dream" It declared that the President has paid his. debt to the Mugwumps by the ap- point1nent of a few Republicans of acknowl edged efficiency and inoffensive partisanship, and said further: But he has not forgotten that his paramount obligation is to the Dem ocratic party and that this obligation will not be satisfied till his administration is all Dem ocratic. Some discontent has been caused by the apparent slowness with which the dis placement of Republican offce-holders was carried on, but, slow or fast, the work is get ting done. Day by day Republicans are go- ing out and Democrats are coming in. If the President has at any time hesitated about his policy, the reflection of his own powerlessness without the Democracy at his back has been enough to convince him which way he should go The Independ- ent Republicans are pleasant people, but there are not enough of them to induce him to follow them to his undoing.
 This idea of the situation is corroborated by the Washington correspondent of the Boston Advertiser, gentleman who has tried hard to discover traces of Civil Service Reform since the fourth of March. He says: He (the President) has frequently said of late to those who have talked with him, "I can net accomplish much without constituent cy. That must be the Democratic party in the main. It is folly for me to try to stand between the two parties. I should come out like the man who tried to occupy two chairs and ended by sitting on the floor" He at tempts no concealment of the fact that to have an efficient organization at his back is absolutely necessary. He talks plainly on that subject and leaves no doubt ill the minds of his friends that he will go ahead as rapidly as is at all reasonable to put the administrative positions in the hands of Democrats.
 It looks very much if the Sun and the Advertiser man were correct, and the Mug wumps' dream was Ger. At least, there is nothing in the appointment of collector for the port of New Haven that looks the other

4 Sharp Criticism of Cur Soldiers
 1'- f' Monument. r-'5 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 I had read so much about the monument which your city is to erect in honor of those who fought in the late war (soldiers and sail ors) that in visiting there on Memorial day I procured picture and a description of the monument To say I was disappointed does not express my feelings. The committee were careful to hand down to posterity the name of Lee, but the names of those old fighting sailors Farragut and Foote were not mentioned. Why, sir, to look at that monu ment it does not show that there was 8 navy or that your city ever had such illus trious sons as Admffals Foote and Gregory and host of others of 8 minor rank. l have boasted much over that monument, but now I consider we who went from your city and entered the navy, as we were old sailors and could be of more use there, have been slighted-yes, insulted, by not hardly men tioning that New Haven had sons in the navy, or that there was a naval battle fought during the late war.

THE WELDON WOMAN.
A Sketch of the Ex-Singer Who Has
 Beaten GounOd.

From a Late London Letter.
 This Georgina Weldon comes of Welsh family When she was sixteen her parents took her with them to Brussels, where they lived for several years. Her father, MT. Trehern, was of gloomy temperament, her mother rather eccentric woman. When the former was at home no amusements of any kind were allowed; but when his busi- ness, as was often the case, took him over to London, Mrs. Trehsrn took advantage of his absence to give dinner parties and dancing seirees. Miss Georgina was beautiful girl and soon had plenty of suitors, but the favor ed one was Belgian nobleman. As this gentleman was Catholic MT. Trehern re- fused to give his consent to thelr union. Shortly afterwards he took his family back to England, and in London Georgina had so many beaux of her own nation that the Bel gian count was entirely forgotten before the end of her first season. A captain in the army by the name of Weldon was the man this time, and when the stern father again interposed his veto because of the sultors poverty, the lovers away and got mar ried without his consent Her father swore that he would cut her off with shilling, and as he refused to be pacifed, MT. and Mrs. Weldon went off to Italy, where he studied for the stage and made his debut as an opera singer in Milan It was about thls tune that 1 her father died, leaving everything to his son, who pardoned his sister, however, and made her a regular allowance. Then Mr. and Mrs. Weldon returned to London and went to housekeeping in Tavistock House. the same mansion that was for many years the .home of Charles Dickens.
 She had abandoned the operatic stage, but

continued singing in concerts, and it was the way she sang at reception given by the great English musician that made the famous French compensation in exile in London, because of. the siege of Pafis-fal so desper- ately in love with her. Before long he not only lived at her house, but he followed her about wherever she went. She even exhibi ted him in Brussels, where she hired 8 hall and covered the walls with big posters an- nounclng that sle was to sing with the compartment of the celebrated maestro and that they would play duet together on the piano which the author of ''Faust' had com posed expressly for the occasion. I do not know whether Capt. Weldon went along to Brussels or not, but her first lover, the count was still in town, and he induced his mother to take her up and give her a grand soiree It was rainy night, but so anxious was everybody to see Gounod and Mrs. Weldon that every body came and the countess salons were crowded with the most aristocratie gathering the Belgian capital could scare up when they entered All the ladies were in full dress, but Georgina wore walking cos tune and she and Gounod must have cone on foot, for both were drenched. She had hardly bowed to the hostess when she said ''I have got my feet wet. Will you order some one to bring me basin of hot water?'' And sitting down she began to pull off her shoes and stockings. The count broue ht the basin and towel, and after she had taken her foot-bath Gounod got down on his knees and wiped her feet dry for her. Everybody looked on in astonishment, but no one said anything, and all applauded her when after awhile she sang an air from the cantata of "Gallia," which Gounod lad just completed and dedicated to her. The laison lasted long while, but finally Gounod either got tired of it remembered that he had a wife and grown-up children in Paris, and took his departure from Tavistock House. To get back the manuscript partitions which he had left behind him he commenced a lawsuit and terrible scandal followed which forced Capt. Weldon to separate from his wife Since then she has managed to keep herself before the public by succession of sensa- t1onal lawsuits with her husband and others i'll the last of which she was, as I have al ready said, sentenced to prison for slander
 Formerly sine a very beautiful bru- nette and gifted with 8 fine voice, but she is large and fat now and her beauty is as faded as her voice is forever gone. I don't know 1t she will come over here to collect her judgment, but she has already attacked Gounods 8 rights as an author in England, and the great composer is probably, in the sreceipt of as large an income from his pub- fisher in that country he is from Chou dens ct Fills, of Paris, who, by the way, paid him something like thousand francs for the portion of Faust and have already made 0 clear million by the investment.

 The magnitude of the cattle business in this country is indicated in a report concern ing it which has just been issued by the bu- reau of statistics in Washington It appears that the cattle ranch area embraces above 1, ,365, ,000 square miles, and therefore consti- tutes forty-four per cent of the total area of the United States This is equal to the area of Great Britain and Ireland, France, Ger many, Denmark, Holland Belgium, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Spain and Portugal and one fifth of Russia in Europe.

Other Things
 as Cheap as
 the Books.

We can sell dry goods just as cheap as books, and a good many of them are cheaper to- day than the fast. time you looked at them. That's the way nowadays.
 All our 12Hc. and I5c. Chambrays down to LOG. That sort of thing is not quite pleas ing to those who bought them of us or of other dealers last week at the former prices. But we can't help 1t.
 Those soc. Homespuns are as cheap as the books-think of it-a 40 inch, elegant, stylish locking, rough cloth for soc. yard.
 And the Silk and Wool Pon- gees at 65c.-silver gray and brown mixed-how often have you paid $1 for just such goods2
 The gentlemen's Summer Scarfs you will see exhibited near our east door you will quickly recognize as similar to other displays up and down the street; but you will find on in quiry at the counter that you can have three of them for 5oc., while they are asking 25c. each for them in other places.
 We have Pique Scarfs at 25c. a dozen-yes, that 'dogem" is not printers mistake-25c. dozen-white ones included Ii desired. 1
 Here's one of the things we have to do occasionally. We have gathered together out of all the corners a mixed lot ot ill-assorted sizes and various kinds of Children's Summer Undervests, and have laid them out on a table from which you may take your choice at I5c. There's not a single one there that didn't cost us more than that, some of them much more.
 Nottingham and Madras Lace Curtains are in the rear ot the store near where the books are, and they (the Curtains) you will find to be almost as cheap as the books. They are cheap in a different way, however. The books, incredible as it may seem, pay us profit; but we are sor- ry to say the curtains don't. we had somehow got in too large a stock of them, and--you know the rest. If you. need any, come now while we are at it, and get your share of the plunder.

 EsThe era of good feeling" which we men, tioned yesterday morning as having been ushered in by the appointment of John c. Byxbee of Meriden collector of the port of New Haven developed rapidly yesterday. Many New Haven Democrats are ''as mad as wet hens" about the matter, and many more who are able to suppress their anger are sorrow full The Republicans are well aware that the affair is ''none of their business" but they are not able to see why New Haven Democrat was not good enough for the place. And the Independents can't see that anything has been gained by substituting one offensive partisan for another.
 Some columns of letters have been printed recently in the London Times on the subject of nude art in the Royal Academy exhibi- tions, of which there has been great in- crease in late years. "A British Matron" be- gan the controversy, and some of the letters have been spirited and original. Jerome K. Jerome writes: tI quite agree with your cor respondent "A British Matron' that the hu- man form is disgrace to decency, and that it ought never to be seen in it's natural state. But A British Matron' does not go far enough in my humble judgment. She cen sures the painters, who merely copy nature. It is God Almighty who is to blame in this l matter for having created such an indelicate object"
