Fast Living and OverworIs.

Says Dr. Stearns, of the Retreat for the In sane in Hartford, Tn his report just made: Five admitted to the institution were affect ed with general paralysis, larger per cent of the admissions than during any year since my connection with the retreat, though smaller than in some other American institu- tions and much smaller than in most English ones. "In my opinion," remarks Dr.Stearns, "the general tendencies of the present con- dition of civilization in this country, espe- cially in the larger towns and cities, are such that this particular form of disease, and in deed diseases of the nervous system in gene ral, are likely to increase rather than dimin- ish. What may be called fast living in some form or other and living in cities is far more general than it was thirty years ago."

The Finding of The Body of Sudden

 Kates-Tragie Circumstances.
 The dead body of Warren Samuel Yates, Yale '86, was found at Batting Hollow, L. l., Saturday, lying in his boat. The body was lying on it's back frozen fast in the ice which covered the boats bottom. By his side was his gun, coated with ice. MT. Caldwell, the roommate of deceased, and who started out with him on a duck hunt among the Thin ble Islands on the Connecticut shore, on Thanksgiving morning, arrived at Batting Hollow by rail soon after the finding of the body. He had been on Long Island looking for his friend ever since his own rescue on Thursday evening. He took charge of the body after the inquest which was held at Riverhead yesterday, and will send it home to the young mans parents. How It was that the little duck boat dritted about in the Sound for nearly sixty hours in a rough sea is partly explained by the fact that the body lay in the bottom of the boat and thus served to steady it. Yates hands were much blistered, indi
 eating how hard he had struggled with the oars. Only one oar was found in the boat
 Yates father is president of the Nebraska National bank at Omaha, Neb. The boat drifted about fifteen miles. Fishermen say that any man with ordinary clothing would, in Yates place, have been wet through and then chilled to death. Much comment is made over the fact that no one at Stony Creek made an effort to save the young man, al though there were plenty of men and boatr at the Creek large enough to have come in play for such an attempt. Moreover, the fact that the boat lived through the sea and reached shore is urged in support of the claim that such an attempt property made would

AFIGHT IN FIvE-MILEaCANON As Described by Man Who Wheeled


 lBicyclist Stevens in the Pail Mall Gazette
 I am trundling through the canon along side the river, when, rounding sharp curve of projecting mountain, I see tawny mountain lion trotting leisurely ahead of me, not over hundred yards in advance. He hasn't seen me yet; he is perfectly oblivious of the fact that he is in 'fthe presence" I lay no claim whatever to any of that rare virtue called common sense, and consequent ly acted about as foo1ishly as possible in the premises. l fancy some reader has already guessed that slipped up b-hind the lion and pulled his tail; or mounted the bicycle and rode him down. I simply fired at him, and, of course, missed him, as person nat urally would at hundred yardsEwith bull dog revolver. The bullet must have singed him little, though, for, ere I got my fea- lures into shape for the broad grin that promised to treat myself with at seeing him wildly scoot for the brush, he turns sayagely round and cones bounding rapidly towards me and at twenty paces crouches for spring. Do "grin" when I see him thus? Nay. Laying his cat-like head almost on the ground, his round eyes flashing fire and his tail angrily waving to and fro, he looks savagely and dangerous. Crouching behind the bicycle fire at him again. Nine times out of ten person will overshoot the mark with revolver under such circumstances, and, being anxious to avoid this, dc the reverse, and fire too low. The ball strikes the ground just in front of his head and throws the sand and gravel in his face, and perhaps i'll his wicked round eye; for he shakes his head, seems to recollecJ suddenly that he left something at home, and jumps up and makes off into the bush.

Funeral Services over the Remains or
 Godfrey MOrris-Death Of ID. 0. Wa
 terhOuse-Other Matters.
 The funeral services over the remains of Godfrey Morris, the unfortunate colored oys- tsrman who was drowned last Tuesday and whose body was not found until Saturday, we're held from the East Pearl street Metho- dist church yesterday afternoon. The church was quite crowded by those who have taken so great an interest in the sad fate of the de- ceased. Rev. MT. Cunningham oficiated. The interment was in the Fair Haven ceme- tery.
 D. c. Warehouse, one of Fair Haven's best known citizens, died late Saturday night, aged forty nine years. He had been i'll for long time, but latterly he had been thought better and it was said that he would probably be able to be out again, but his disease took an unfavorable turn suddenly. He leaves a widow and one son. The deceased was for a long time prominently connected with the c. D. Clark company, manufacturers of pro- prietary medicines. He was secretary and treasurer of the concern and owned large amount of stock in it. The funeral services over the remains will take place from his late res idence on Grand street this afternoon at 4 o'clock. A large number of friends and rel atives will be present.
 The St. Francis fair in Washington Hall was largely attended Saturday evening and all present enjoyed an excellent time.
 The temperance meeting at the rink was quite we'll attended yesterday afternoon. Rev. MT. Evans delivered splendid lecture.
 Henry Lee Mallory and wife, for many years residents of Fair Haven, were in town yesterday staying with Mr.. Henry Mallory, of North Quinnipiac street. MT. Mallory has noticed in his extensive trip around the country as salesman for a large wholesale concern decided change for the better in the business outlook. .
 All the churches were we'll attended yes- terday as were the several temperance meet ings.
 The Good Samaritans' meeting at Carll's Opera House last evening induced many Fair Haven people to attend and the horse cars going cityward last evening were well patronized.
 Major W. A. Lincoln's invitation to the Grand Army men to attend the rinks tonight with their families is highly appreciated in Fair Haven and the Quinnipiac rink at any rate will be well filled tonight
 Miss Sarah Harvey of Springfield, Mass, has been visiting her sister, Miss E.V. Camp of Exchange street.
 Henry F. Curtiss, of Quinnipiac street, is visiting his brother in Meriden for few days.

A DISCRIMINATING TRAIN-BeY.
Physiognomy Applied to Railroad
 Passengers = Male and Female
From the New York Tribune.1

From the New York Tribune1
 "What made you think I'd want to pur- chase that book?" asked 8 reporter on the West Shore road of train boy who had just deposited in his lap a volume giving a com plete history of all the notable encounters in the prize-ring within the last hundred years. The reporter in question, be it observed, al- though of unfortunately somewhat pugna- oious aspect, takes especial delight in report ing sermons, and is as ignorant of the Mar quis of Queensbury rules as of the differen" tial and integral calculus.
 'I thought you was a sport" replied the train boy, taking rapid inventory of the interlocutor. He was a shrewd-looking lad with piercing eyes, and a nose which is gene1- ally supposed to indicate that it's owner knows thing or two.
 ''Then do you always try to select books to suit tho character of each passenger?"
 "Of course I does. I hits it right general ly, too, though I sometimes get left. But 'tain't half as bad to mistake a religious man for sport as to mistake sport for relig- ious man. The sportn get medder'n wet hen every time and sling all the cuss words he knows at you that is if he's in the smok- in car."
 ''Do you find much variety of taste among the ladies on the trains?"
 Cert When see 8 woman who wants to be thought fine lady but aint, I drops her some novel about some jukes and bloated aristocrats, where all the men has plenty of stamps and the women folks lots of jewel rya When I strikes lady what's genooine thing fops her down book that ain't got no alarmed nonsense in it-some book that's been runnin ever since I've been in the bus mess and no tellin' how long afore.'
 'FHow about the men?''
 ''You've got to study them just as hard. Them dudish fellers is the worst customers. They never buys no books They'll just set and suck their canes all day, thinkin' about mashin' or some such rot, I suppose. A man wot's full of business and looked worrited don't often buy books. He can't keep his thoughts on 'em. Young men that aint dudes and ain't got no more money'n they know what to do with make the best of GUS toners. And old men wot's takin' life easy an contented like and ain't everlastingly both e"ing themselves about money, buy good many books on the trains. A railroad train is a mighty good place to study human natur in."
 "What's your favorite reading?'
 ''Pd like to read how poor boys got on in the world till they got to be real big bugs like that feller Edison wot used to sell books on train same as 1 do."
 ''Let me have that book of Farrar's ser mons, and don't take me for sport again"
 ''You can bet wont."

New York, Nov. 28, 1885. Strong, but tired, seems to be the proper descrip tion to be given of to-day's stock market There no bullish clutchng at stocks, the two days ago, but in lieu thereof good deal of quiet absorption of the same, is shown by the fact that despite of today dullness and at times of it's weakness, the list whole closed from E to per cent. better than it opened. Although the bears did their best to break values, and many of the bulls not loath to assist in bringing about rupture in prices, no particular changes were made. The market showed more of a dullness of business than of decline in values, though in the matter of stiffness quotations only at the end Nevertheless there is abatement In the be- lief that after the existing perturbation in prices shall have simmered down there will be fresh ad- vance.

on the back of the skirt was one lc

On the back of the skirt was one long very lightly draped putting. The velvet waist opened over plaited faille plastrOn, which fell in a pufing over the waist. A velvet scarf was taken over the plastron and down either side of the front of the waist. In the back, replacing the basque, were three flaps turning up in loops and falling over the puff fng. The velvet capote was trimmed with 8 bunch of shrimp-colored and reddish-brown plumes. A redingote of French blue velvet bore uneven fronts The front on the right side was short like an ordinary waist, and that on the left formed a redingote end. The princess back was also like redingote. The blue faille skirt was worked with "velours frise" in a handsome shade of "chaudron. !" The lower part of the skirt was cut in small scallops bordered with dropping passemente- rie ornaments of the same color. On the lower part of the redingote waist was faille scarf, which hung in two full ends sewed to- gether like tube and drawn in on the lower part under passementerie ornaments
