"NO HILL BOOM."

The New Haven Register Presents the
 Sentiments of Some of the Connecticut
 Democracy.
 The New Haven Sunday Register yester- day devoted over five columns to the rA- suit of an inquiry as to the sentiment of the Connecticut Democracy in regard to the Democratic candidate for president. It discovers that there is general tidal wave all over the state in favor of Cleve- land. Ex-Governor James E. English, Mayor Samuel A. York of New Haven, Editor A. E. Burr of the Hartford Times, Fred s. Brown of Hartford, ex-chairman of the Democratic state central committee, William H. Barnum of the national Demo cratic committee, David A. Wells of Nor wich. Walter Goddard, collector of the port of Bridgeport, ex-Congressman Sey- mour and Editor Gould of the Bridgeport Farmer, all favor Clevelands re-nomina- tion. ''Not one of the gentlemen men, tioned or those who have been interviwed on the subject of national politics in Con- necticut," says the Register, 'has any but the kindest regard for the governor of the Empire state. They look upon him as one day. and credit him with commanding abilities. They acknowledge he has made popular governor with the Democrats of New York state. But they don't think he is the leader of the masses such as Cleve- land has developed into since he became the head of the nation. They don't be- lieve the national Democratic ticket would win with Hills name at the top of it.. The argument has been made that Hill is prac- tically unknown in this state. It is true in 8 great measure. The big army of electors in Connecticut have heard little or nothing about him. To go before the country with him as 8 national stand ard bearer would be inviting disaster, they say. Furthermore, it has been asserted by the sharp generals in the party in Connec- ticut, that to nominate Hill means prefer ence for uncertainty to certainty. Cleve- land can carry the country, they maintain. With Hill as the nominee there is to begin with the discouraging element of doubt to fight down. Cleveland, in the opinion of these Connecticut students of national pol itics, will cut more into the Republican ranks than any man mentioned for presi dent in the Democratic party. In addition to this magnetic qualification in candi- date, the Nutmeg state leaders take the ground that Cleveland will solidlfy the Democratic vote, will hold faithful to the cause of Democracy those freemen who have invariably battled for the principles of Thomas Jefferson, will, in other words, rally around him the rank and file of the party"

 Oliver Byron, supported by his excel lent company, including the charming art ist, Miss Kate Byron, will appear at the opera house tomorrow evening in "The Inside Track" The Boston Herald says: ''The piece is one of the most stirring and exciting of the series which MT Byron has made popular, and in many respects it is better than any of it's predecessors. MT Byron was warmly welcomed, was several times called before the curtain, and was as successful as ever in gaining and hold ing the sympathy of his auditors. Miss Kate Byron shared the honors with him, and the other members of the company found favor with the assemblage."
 Charles L. Davis will appear at the opera house Friday evening in the famous comedy "Alvin Joslin." MT Davis has been seen here so often that anything but simple announcement that his support is as good as ever would be superfuous.

Too Pretty for Asbury Park.


New York Special.
The society for the suppression Of improper
bathing costumes at Asbury Park has scored a
great victory. Late yesterday afternoon a
comsly young woman, wearing a rather short
skirt, a decollete waist, aad white stockings, got
into the surf before the watchful females on the
beach spied her. As soon as the unusually at.
tractive costume came within their angie OF
vision, al officer was summoned and requested
to remove the chic young woman who wore it.
The officer hurried down 70 the waters edge and
yelled himself hoarce in vain. The fascinating
offender neither saw nor heard him. At the
suggestion of an Ocean Grove elder. who stopped
10 his stroll on the beach TO give vent to his in
dignatiou at the fair bather's impudence, q male
bather was persuaded to act as messenger and
fetch her to the officer. When, amid acrowd of
grim old women and gaping young men. the
offending young girl was told Of the complaints
entered against the scartiness of her apparel.
shs blushed, burst into tears, and then fed to
her clearinghouse with the words: "Why. /
wore it all last season at Rockaway."

Professor Holden in August Century.
The total number of stars one can see will de-
pend very largely upon the ~clsarnsss of the a.
mosphers and the keenness Of the eye. There
are in the whole celestial sphere about 5000
stars visible to an ordinarily good eye. OF thsse,
however, we can never see more than q fraction
at any one time. because q half of the sphere is
always below the horizon. IL we could see a
star in the horizon. as easily as In the zenith, q
half OF the whole number, or 5000, would be
visible on any clear night. But stars
near the horizon are seen through so
great a thickness of atmosphere as greatly
to obscure their light, and only the brightest
ones can there be seen. AS a result Of this OBJ
scuration, 1t is not likely that more, than 1000
stars can ever be taken in at q single view BY
any ordinary eye. About 1000 other stars are
so near the South pole that they never rise in
our latitudes. Hence, out Of 5000 supposed to
be visible, only A, 900 ever come within range of
our vision, unless We make a journey towards
tha equator.
As telescope power is II increased, we still find
stars of fainter and fainter light. But the num-
Der cannot 60 on increasing forever in the same
ratio as with the brighter magnitudes, because,
If 1t did, the whole sky would be a blaze of
starlight. Ii telescopes with powers far ex
ceeding our present ones we're made they would
no doubt show new stars of the twentieth and
twenty-frst, ETC., magnitudes. But it is highly
probable that the number of such successive or
ders of stars would not increase in the same
ratio as is observed in the eighth, ninth and
tenth magnitudes, for example. The enormous
labor OF estimating the number Of stars of such
classes Will long prevent the accumulation of
statistics on this question; but this much 10 GER
tain, that in special regions Of the sky. which
have been searchingly examined by various
telescopes of successfully increasing aperturee,
the number OF new stars found is by
no means in proportion to the increased
instrumental power. IL this is found to be true
elsewhere. the conclusion may be that. after all,
the stellar system can De experimentally shown
to be OF Unite extent and to contain only . finite
mum Der OF stars In the whole sky an aye of
average power will see about 6. 900 stars, a. /
have just said. With a telescope this number
is greatly increased. and the most powerful tele-
scopes OF modern times will show more than Co.
600, 900 stars. OF this number. not one ont of q
hundred has ever been catalogued ct all.
In all. 314. 926 stars, from the first TO the 81
magnitudes. are contained in the ncrthern sky
or about coo. 900 in both hemispherss. All oil
these can be seen With three inch object glass.

spectful admiration 70 Miss Hannah Donovan.
OF Boston, who. on Sunday last. rescued . young
man from drowning at Nantaskst beach. From
the piazza Of q cottage she saw his desperate

when he had been carried ashore it was she who

Hide the Scars.
Oh, shadowed lives. where e'er you be,
With mournful eyes that only see
Your garden of Gethsemane.
No longer sit from dusk till dawn,
With trembling lin and cheek of wan,
BY sorrows stream-yourB Babylon.
Though grief may gnaw your heart in twain,
Hide, hide the scars, and tears restrain;
Take down your harps and play again.
Sing, though the hours be sad and long,
For, always m ind the passing throng,
There's some one waiting for your song.
And lips compelled to drink the rue.
The bitterest that ever grew.
Still make no sign what eer you do.
Smile, though your heart be full of dole,
Though every smile your lcs control
Is DER a death-bed in your soul.
Stroud, shroud your dead and quickly pile
The sod above them: all the while
Some one is waiting for your smile.
Laugh and be gay, for this I know:
The world loves not the face of woe
Loves not to see the tear-drops Sow.
And you who bear the sword and shield,
Whose hearts are but a battlefield,
Where neither side will ever yield,
Call you no roll when battles done,
Make no report at set of sun;
The world cares not which side has won.
But, though your wounds be running red,
Be sure, ere yet the day is fed,
To shroud your souls unburied dead.
