THE BUBBLES OF BABxHOoD.

| Baby Love EKpounded by NIT. Henry | IT. Blake at North Sheffield Hall PhilOsophy's Chair of BabyhOod. The bubbles of babyhood were pricked and \ dissected with eonsummate skill by MT. Henry T. Blake in his ramble upon the Scientific study of infant intelligence" at North Shef- field hall last evening His remarks turned for point to the humorous side of the little innocents' remarkable antics, and the veil of science was chiefly drawn to revel in techni- cal terms through which, by sharp and sud den contrast, a laugh might be brought to the face even of staid professors who patient ly sat to hear baby science propounded by the paragraph.
 Among the array of facts it was plain that Darwin twisted his baby's legs and arms, stuck pins into it, put his fingers in it's eyes and otherwise carried on observations.
 Dr. Prior noticed that his little squawler had an extreme fondness for battering it's own head with it's fist or any other handy thing.
 The general conclusion reached thus far in baby love is that infants are 8 very young reproduction of barbarisn, and the sooner parents recognize that their infant is true born barbarian the better it will be for all.
 Darwin's boy was frightened by an ele- phant in the geological gardens and the doc tor deduced from this that elephants for merly lived in Britain and that they scared the natives. In the matter of talk, Prof. Prior's infant at three years had not invented @ word beyond the nasal, common, syllable vocabulary of all babies.
 In closing, MT. Blake said that the labors of the social science association would be- fore long force every philosopher to have chair of babyhood.

 Wealth ofThat Country and she Ig-
 mOranee of Hts People.
 Dr. Sheldon Jackson of Alaska spoke to good-sized congregation at the United church chapel yesterday afternoon on "Alsska.' About the platform was suspended a map of that country and then described it's rivers, etc., after which he told of the great wealth of the country, as yet to be developed. There are petroleum fields only waiting to be tap- ped. Gold and silver sbounds there, one place having the largest mine in the country. "And yet they say that Alaska is worthlessf'' The climate in the northern part is arctic, but the southern expanse is in winter as warm as the climate of Virginia, and in summer like that of Minnesota. This is due to the gulf current in the Pacific ocean. Alaska is belittled by newspapers who try to make the public thiak that that county is the last place on earth. There are great lumber interests yet to be iron and copper ore has been discovered Slavery prevails to great extent. Rich men, to show their wealth, frequently order ten, fifteen, twenty, and even thirty slaves killed in cold blood. It is most horrible state of affairs. Witohcraft also prevails, and right under the stars and stripes.
 The country is rich in everything that some day will make it one of the wealthiest in the world. The people now are ignorant and know nothing of religion. Several miss sions have already been established, but many more are needed. It remains for the Christian church to see to it that the people of Alaska are educated and christianized.

 Nathan I. Nathan of the firm of N. I. Ma, than & Go. was arrested yesterday by Deputy
 Marshal Lovejoy. Nathan Easterbrook, jr., who appeared before Commissioner Wright, gave $1 ,000 bonds for the appearance of MT. Nathan on Monday next.
 The arrest was caused by alleged irregu- larities in the sale of the oleomargarine man. ufactured by the firm. Those who know particulars regarding the sale of the goods have stated that the transactions of the firm appear to be fairly conducted, as all the gov- ernment books of the firm indicate, and if any irregularities exist they were made by the purchasers and not by the firm. It is said that some of the buyers of the goods sold by the firm have given fictitious names and it is presumed that the goods have been sold for pure butter, which has caused the trouble for which the firm do not appear to be to blame, as they have sold the goods for oleomsrgarine, and 1t also appears that the firm have correct account of all sales.
 Deputy Marshal Lovejoy served on the firm monition, which is an attachment for the goods seized by Collector Troup. The goods, after which MT.

YALE NOTES.

University Meeting Last Night-LaWn
 Tennis sAssociation-TheT Tug of War
 Lack of Interest.
 A university meeting was held in the Ly- ceum last evening for the election of officers of the Lawn Tennis association for the fol- lowing year, Huntington, S9, presiding. The men elected were Vice president, Post, go B.; secretary and treasurer, Rowland, '91.
 The present candidates for the freshmen nine will meet this evening at 14 Farnam for the election of permanent captain at p. m.
 All interest in the University tug-of-war team is certainly at low point. Yesterday afternoon but four men, freshmen, presented themselves at the gymnasium for practice, though it is expected that several others will come later. Hanson coached and probably will continue to do so.
 A lady while passing the other day by the campus between the Art school and South barely escaped being struck by ball that glanced off from tree.

THE OLD LEATHER MAN.

How His Body was Diseovered-In- quest upon His Body at Sing Sing. The dead body of the old leather man was discovered by Henry Miller and wife in the town of Mt. Pleasant. Mir. and Mrs. Miller were out for a morning walk, and they con- cluded to visit the leather mans cave. On entering the hut, built partly on the side of hill, they thought the man was aleep, but
 second glance convinced them that he was dead. The thick, grayish hair was matted over the large head and brow. There was grizzled beard upon the face, but what was shiefy notable were the ravages of q cancer, beginning at the left corner of the mouth and extending back under the left ear. The
 body was removed subsequently, to White &
 Dorsey's undertaking rooms in Highland avenue, Sing Sing, where they were viewed Sunday by many curious visitors. The re. mains lay in 8 plain wooden box. Near by was the leather suit which gave the hermit his name. It was made of old boot tops, fastened together with strong leather cords. The coat alone weighed twenty pounds, and the weight of the entire suit, including the hat and boots, must be more than sixty pounds. It is thought that this same suit has served as the dead mans apparel for near ly thirty years. Summers and winters he
 
 other kind of attire Monday morning DIs. Joel D. Madden and Charles s. Collins held an autopsy and decided that the cause of death was blood poisoning, resulting from cancer. It was evidently impossible for him to take any except liquid food, and his body was considerably emaciated. His face and neck were swollen and the doctors thought that he must have been dead three or four days.
 At the inquest held by Coroner Sutton George Dell testified that the leather man had lived in the hut on his (Dells) farm since 1860. He once had conversation with him in French. He never begged and never drank. How he obtained livlihood, MT. Dell said, was mystery. He was last seen alive about two weeks ago.
 Two books, each made of 0 few leaves of brown paper written all over with figures, were found. There was no word of writing in either book. Mir. Dell thought the man could neither read or write

Hewitt Says 1t Is Settled That Ward
 Will Play Nm WashinEton-Yale
 Wants To Meet the New Haven

 Poloists Win At MerIden-Benefs Te-
 Night.
 WASHINGTON, March 26-WaIter F. Hew- it, the president of the Washington base ball club, returned to the city to day from New York, where he went to see John M. Ward about the big base ball deal. MT. Hewitt said to 8 reporter this afternoon: "You may put it down in black and white that Mir. Ward will be with us. I have not got 6 contract with him nor have I his word to that effect, but the situation is such that it cannot turn out otherwise. Ward can- not, under any circumstances, go to Boston. That's settled. He cannot play in New York in justice to himself, even should Day agree to retain him, which is not within the bounds of possibility, under the agreement Day has made with me. The only place where he can possibly play is in Washing ton. Of that am entirely satisfied"
 MT. Hewitt said that the hitch in the deal arose from the fact that Ward, when he left San Francisco on his trip around the world, understood that he would be allowed to go to Boston. While Ward was in Aus- tralia Boston bought the Detroit players, and Day put his foot down on Wards becom- ing bean eater. Ward, through miscar- riage of letters, knew nothing of this, and and now he wants an interview with MT. Day to have the complication explained to him. MT. Hewitt added that he expected to have Wards services from the first of April to the eighth of April, and that he would then go with the Spalding party for a short tour, af- ter which he would rejoin the Washingtons.
 J. Gamble Rogers, president of the Yale base ball team, has asked Manager Spence to meet the Yale team next Monday. Manager Spence answered that that was an impossi- bility, as none of his players would arrive until that day and it would be manifest in- justice to play Yale without his men having had half hours practice together before the game, thus giving Yale great advantage. Manager Spence gave MT. Rogers four open dates after April 9th and the latter was to have met him yesterday afternoon at the Elliot House to arrange dates, but he failed to come.
 The New Haven polo team won splendid victory at Meriden last night by the score of to 4. It was 8 fight for last place. New Haven is now sure of ending ahead of Mer- iden. Remember the benefit at the rink to- night. Go up and show your appreciation of their hard work. The Bridgeports will play.

NEW DEPARTURE.

Champion A HeatOn's New and Ele- gant Retail Store On Chapel Street Below the Bridge.
 A new store, New Haven may we'll take commendable pride in, is the one just open- ed by the well known firm of Champion & Heaton at 694 Chapel street, below the bridge. Hitherto the fir m has confined it. self to it's large and successful wholesale
 business, but owing to the field this city
 presents and their facilities. they have open-
 ed retail department for the benefit of New
 Haven buyers. The new store is devoted to
 the retail business and is elegantly furnished
 and carpeted throughout, making it one of
 the most attractive in this business in New
 England. It is completely stocked with
 elegant and desirable goods in great variety,
 comprising Turcoman, Shield, Velours, Re-
 nsiesance, Irish Point and Brussels drapery
 curtains, with most complete line of sash
 curtains in silks and muslins. The curtains
 range in prices from $1 to $100 per pair. A
 great speciality also is the Rocksonia sun fast
 Hollands, which window shades are having
 an immense popularity in all the large cities.
 These shades are positively sun fast and
 warranted not to fade, and are offered in
 almost every conceivable shade. In stock
 also will be found cornice poles of every de-
 scription, shade fixtures, sash rods, etc. Their
 line of rugs cannot be excelled, The firms
 show window is oapacious and tastefully ar-
 ranged and gives credit to the house, and the large array of elegant goods at once im-
 presses the beholder. Mir. Crampton of the
 firm has spent over fifteen years exclusively in this line of business and travelled most of that time chiefly in the eastern states, and in his knowledge of the business he may be well said to have few, if any, superiors. MT. Heaton, the junior partner, brings also much strength to this business house and is thoroughly posted with every detail of the business. Our reporter saw orders yesterday the firm had received from Kansas City, Los Angeles, Birmingham, Ala, and other re- mote cities, which are but 8 sample of the many this enterprising house is constantly receiving. The firms wholesale department occupies the entire two upper floors of the English Building and their machinery and other facilities for manufacturing are very ex- tensive and complete. The firm have en- gagged the services of Mr. Huxford, so we'll and favorably known in his business here, to do their upholstery work. MT. Huxford was last with the former store of s. R. Hemino- way. We wish the firm all success.
