Capt. McCroney of the second precinct
station lost about $50 on the match, but he
has not been discouraged: He was offering
odds on Cannon yesterday.
The statement that Wilkes McDermott
and Mervine Thompson were doing the
wrestling act in Chicago proves incorrect.
McDermott is in Minneapolis, and has not
engaged in any exhibition in the athletic
arena since he had bout with Moth
Both Cannon and Moth are ambitious.
They are struggling for the championship
of the world. Cannon has won mixed
match from Clarence Whistler, the cham
pion Greco Roman wrestler of the world.
They can neither afford to lose match.
Cannon won the first fall easily, and it
was surprise to Moth, who was little
careless.
On Tuesday evening will occur the third
annual winter athletic. gymnastic, sparring
and wrestling carnival at the Minneapolis
gymnasium by the Minneapolis Athletic
club. The program is extensive and in
cludes twenty events by forty experts.
SHORT STOPS.
When one stops to reflect upon it, it is
really unkind to order an immediate pro-
cedure of the work on the stone-arch bridge,
when it is known the Minneapolis Mill
company is preparing another polysy llabled
resolution against it.
1t was casually mentioned in the several
papers that the Moth Cannon wrestling
contest was for purse of $500. Without
any unpleasant references to the public
gullibility in accepting such statement,
the question obtrudes itsef-Why do these
millionaires so debase themselves?
And this calls to mind: A lady on the
motor Yesterday referred to the disgracetul
body of men who were at THAT horrid
sport" She did not know that bankers,
attorneys, capitalists. DOCTORS aye, even
newspaper men were there. 1t is a great
mistake for ladies to imagine that only
aldermen and the like attend wrestling
matches.
1t is by no means difficult matter to
know just where the string is pulled that
works the Journal Office.
The air of Minneapolis is filled with ru-
mors of scandals, divorces and blackmail
cases. Since the police investigation be-
gan these matters may, it seems, be alluded
to in all delicacy.
1t is difficult to say which of the rival
aldermen has made the holder bid for his
party's support for mayor, Sly, with the po-
lice investigation, or johnson, with the
stone-a arch bridge.
The Journal as much as says that if
Mayor Pillsbury so much as dabbles with
whitewash in the investigation it, as Re-
publican journal. washes its hands of him.

What MT. Lowell Said.

MT. James R. Lowell has said great num- Der of things full of the best sense, but noth- ing better than these words spoken at late public meeting:
 'The worst kind of religion is no religion at all; and these men, living in ease and lux ury, indulging themselves in the amusement of going without religion, may be thankful that they live in lands where the gospel they neglect has tapned the beastliness and ferocity of the men who, but for Christianity, might long ago have eaten their carcasses like the South Sea Islanders, or cut off their heads and tanned their hides like the monsters of the French revolution.
 F'When the microscopic search of skepti- cism, which has hunted the heavens and sounded the seas to disprove the existence of creator, has turned it's attention to human society, and has found place on this planet, ten miles square, where decent man can live in decency, comfort and securi- ty, supporting and educating his children unspoiled and unpolluted-a place where age is reverenced, infancy respected, manhood respected, womanhood honored and human life held in due regard-when skepties can find n place ten miles square on this globe, where the gospel of Christ has not gone and cleared the way and laid the foundations and made deceney and security possible, It will then be in order for the skeptical hterati to move thither and then ventilate their views.
 s'So long as these very men are dependent upon the religion which they discard for every privilege which they enjoy, they may we'll hesitate little before they seek to rob the Christian of his hope and humanity of it's faith in that Saviour who alone has given to man that hope of life eternal which makes life tolerab1e and society possible, and robs death of it's terrors 9ad the grave of it's gloom 1"

Rhe Germans i'm Turkey.

uAAO ToreniBhIy HCFc".l
 A great number of honest Teutons work consoientiously for their money, and, with brave disregard of probabilities, consider their presence in Turkey will have e1- tremely beneficial results, and will eventu- ally lead to the regeneration of the Turk ish empire. This is the value they set upon themselves. The value which the Turks set upon them is different. As has been already pointed out, the Turk will regsnerate his empire on his own lines, or he will not regenerats it ct all. The hon. est German sends in long, painstaking re- ports on every imaginable subject connect ed with financial, military or government matters. The willy Turk receives them, and smiling pops them into remote pigeon
 holes. Those are not what he wants. Be ing under the impression that the friendship of Germany and Prince Bismarck is of vital necessity to the Turkish empire, he thinks that by showing an apparent deference to German superiority, and g feigned yearning to be taught hy German wisdom, friendship will be gained. Thus, whilst, English officers of the gendarmerie are dismissed with scant courtesy, and without their pay, one sees the Turks begging for more German tutors, and from time to time increasing the salaries of those when good fortune has already sent to serve them. Whether their particular object will be gained is very open question. But Prince Bismarck is too wise not to turn to account any advantage, however small, which may be placed in his hands. The Turkish service is used as a convenient place of hon ogeble rustication for German officers of whoA the home authorities desire for time to be rid. I may instance Von der Goltz Pasha, . man of undoabtsd ability and for merly an officer of considerable distinction on the German grand general staff. He wrote pemphlst in which he expressed ideas not in consonanos with those of the powers that be. Such audapity had to be punished, and he was begged to retire for 2 season to Turkey untiI-being very valua- ble officer--he might be received back into favor again. might further instance Ris-

sity affairs. His official connection with a postgraduate department is an advantage which people who believe that 8 martinet discipline and small pedagogy have had too much favor in the academic de- pertinent will not be slow to recognize. Without giving the impression of brilliancy, he is endowed with good sense of the kind and in the degree which approaches genius, and unites with it dignifed simplicity and great fund of humor and good feeling. No college man about Yaie in his day has been as popular, and none has made himself more useful in friendly services among the young men.
 Theologically, intellectually and on the question of educational methods. he is @ can didate all parties can unite on. The church es would feel safe as to his administration, and progressive men would have an assurance that the college would not go to sleep on his hands.
 He would probably represent the genius and spirit of the university, and of the entire constituency over which he would have to preside, better than any other possible can didats, from the qualities of solid sense and
 mental sobsrness with which he is endowed down to his tough physical fiber and capac1- ty for work.
 If Yale is to enter on a career of develop ment and reconstruction it is immensely i'm portant that she have during the process an as well as an alert, enterprising and vigorous one. It would be hardly possible to name man to command more confidence in the midst of such an evolution than Timothy Dwight, nor one, we may add, under whom fewer great chances would be likely to be lost, or more of the solid good to be expect ed from new methods to be secured.

The State Agricultural SchOol-The
 Possible Ghange Of Its Location.
 Representatives Clark of Haddam and Miles of Milford, members of the legislative com mittee on the Agricultural school, visited several farms in Holland county yesterday on a tour to find out good site for the school in case difficulties of title make it necessary to remove it from Storrs' farm in Mansfield Among the places locked at were the Hale farm in Coventry, where Nathan Hale was born, and several in the vicinity of Rockville and Bolton. It is said now that satisfactory adjustment of the title difficulty with Angus tus Storrs is quite probable. Storrs is said to be willing for $12, 900 to give an unoondi tfonal title, after the Mansfield farm has been used twenty years for an agricultural school, or If never used thus, then for 8 paupsr or insane asylum. A strong effort will be made in the next legislature to secure adequate ap- propriations for the continuation of the school on 8 substantial basis capable of meet ing the demands of more pupils. The school has never yet had 8 fair chance. It will prob ably Le killed or amply sustained in the next session.

TaIe's Next Presidency.

The question who will be the next presi- dent of Yale calls forth the following from the New York Independent regarding one of the men prominently talked Sf for the place:
 The boy friends of President woolssy, in his Hopkins Grammar school days, nomina- ted him the future head of the college, and the college men around Timothy Dwight, professor of sacred literature in the theology ical department, have thsae many years done the same.
 He has been doing in the administration and development of one department just what will be required of the president in the whole university. That tho theo- logical department, which twenty years ago was nearly disorganizsd, is now the bet housed, best endowed and equipped fn the university is mainly due to his administrative skill and energy. He was we'll equipped man from the start, having been trained at home and abroad, and Ss thoroughly ysrsed in academic and univer-

The Joys of English Travel.

lLOnoon odturuay- ncSAoW-1
 Luggage is the curse of existence. It is bad enough when we start from home; but at each station where the travellers halt lug gage can inflict a new pang. By an English custom, luggage is fought for in scrimmage, like Rugby football. The porters toss it cut on platform, and the passengers make dives at it. Let any student of ife-above all let any poet-go to terminus when a train has come in, and watch the faces of voyagers az they battle for "their things" The observer, of course, should himself be unconcerned; if he is traveller, he will not have the calmness necessary for scientific contemplation. What passions agitate the strugglers for bags and trunksl How they fly nervously from open van to open van! Their faces, even the youngest of them, are peaked and distorted with fear, care, anxiety. You may watch the wicked gamesters at as are nakedly displayed at Waterloo or Pad dington. Here, first, is trembling anx iety and light-winged hope; then come doubt and dread and sad-lipped patience and supreme despair. The record of such passions flows almost inevitably into blank verses. The matched by the hurried selfshness of the young. Then at last most faces are lit up with the light of thanksfulness and joy, while only a tortured remnant abides of per sons whose luggage has been thrown out at the wrong station, or has been carried off under their very noses by accident or by de- sign. Yet envy not too much the happy ones whose long-lost and late-recovered baggage is safely slowed on their four-wheeled cabs Already the fierce cab tout has marked them down and is pursuing them with long gallop which can tire the cabman's hate and police mans ire After reaching the very thres- hold of home, after seeing the sacred fire burning bright, the married man must cope with the cab tout, and drive him away by violence, or, like feeble but civilized peo- pie threatened with barbaric invasion, buy him off with bribes. Such are the sorrows sfea f te en tie ft pu 5 hats r dsn hfys H m an backs broken by the fall of fatal Gladstone bags from the slender network overheard in railway carriages.

 The quarterMsster general of the State, Mr. Goodrich, in his annual report says;
 The State now owns and uses for the National Guard armories located in New Ha- ven, Waterbury, New London and Bridge port The latter, although not completed, is occupied by the companies located in that city. The New London armory was con- pleted about May of the presaut year at @ cost of about $37, ,OO0. Owing to the insufd- ciency of the appropriation nothing has been done toward obtoining an armory in Hart ford, where there are eight companies of National and Governor's Guards, occupying at present four different armories.
 The present neeessity at the State camp ground is a suitable and substantial fence There are twenty permanent buildings there and practically no fences of any account in closing this valuable property. As the State has acquired all tue land that it will prob ably ever need for thiG purpose it seems ad- visable to have it suitably ipclosed.
 The National Guard of this State are de- serving of better and more comfortable &C., commodations while in camp than it is pos sible to give them with the present supply of canvas. Four ansu sEs placed in an A tent, which is all that is possible to crowd into it. The condition of these crowded tents in 8 warm night is distressing.
 This State was one Of the first to send it's National Guard into camp. Other States that have followed the custom have improved on our system as regards the comfort and sanitary condition of the men while in camp by placing them in wall tents with cot beds and fewer men in Q tent.
 The condition of the several pieces of field artillery at the arsenal is not satisfactory A partial inspection shows some of the guns to be in dangerous condition and others to be in a doubtful state of preservation. To avoid accidents in the future, it would seem advisable to have all unsafe guns destroyed. New fatigue caps for the entire brigade have been purchased and will be issued at once The present uniform of the brigade. cannot last much longer The dress coats are in fair condition and may be kept in ser vice year or two more. The blouses and trousers are in most cases in an unservicea- ble condition and are Q constant source of expense to keep in repair.
 It is hardly possible for the National Guard to go through another winters drill without new blouses at least.

He found them wonderfully effcacious in coughs, colds and pain in the back and side. Ap- piled to the pit of the stomach they quicely cured him of indigestion and dyspepsia. He also found them admirable liver regulators when applied on the right side.

The only stocks that did not participate in the general advance were Delaware & Hudson, Rock Island and Missouri Pa cifc. From 11:30 to noon there was slight reac- tion caused by selling to realize. The market was active throughout, but the course of prices was somewhat irregular. Fluctuations were frequent and prices were well held up to within half hour of the close when under heavy offerings the list de- clned sharply. Prices at the close were irregular ly changed some of the list showing sharp ad- vance while others were down to the lowest figures. The feature of the market to-day was the heavy purchase by the foreign houses. The speciaties were irregular The sales aggregated eeO 200 shares
