Let Your Work Talk.

Mir. Box says, in his Literary Leaves, published in The New York Graphic, that an editor of one of the great maga- zines said to him, ill reply to his question, Are personal introductions helpful to young authors"
 Don't go toa friend who knows the editor and get letter of introduction; it will bore the friend, the editor and eventually yourself. If you suggest the value of a friend at court remember that the editor has met this scheme 0 thousand times. It means that you ask him to make an exception of your case against his judgment, and this annoys him to begin with. If you want to sell a firm a bill of goods you do not feel that you need letter of introduction to the buyer, and an editor is in exactly this position of one who is always buying what he thinks is salable."
 There is good deal of truth ill this advice of the magazine editor. The authors best friend or his worst enemy is his manuscript. That should be his letter of introduction without any pre- liminary flourishes in the shape of actual letters of introduction.-The Epoch.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Edward Cheney, president of the New England base ball league last year, said last night that the new Atlantic league was sure to come, but it would be far better to have four Connecticut clubs than two so far away as Pennsylvania. He thought the new league would be popular in this section.-Boston Herald Whats the matter with Waterbury?
 There was a large and enthusiastic meeting of base ball men at the Elliott house in New Haven yesterday. Plans were discussed about entering league and the prospects of securing first class team. When subscriptions were called for $2, 800 was pledged for it's support in side of ten minutes. Others are ready to put money into the scheme as soon as it begins to materialize. If Waterbury lovers of the sport would put their hands down into their pockets and respond as generously as the New Haven people have, the prospects for a team in this city would look much brighter.
 The Bridgeports defeated the Meriden poloists at Bridgeport yesterday evening by score of Ito 0. The Meridens lost two goals by fouls and the Bridgeports one. The New Ravens went to Spring field and were defeated by score of 13 to 10. This is the same score by which New Haven defeated Springfelds some weeks ago, and is the largest number of goals made in any game this season.
 About 100 sports went to Cotton Hollow last night to witness cooking main between Bridgeport and Wa tertown birds. Thirteen out of fif- teen were matched and every battle was fought, the Watertown birds being the successful ones. Twenty-Five dollars was staked on each battle and S150 on the main. A large amount of money changed hands.

TIE COPPER MARKET.
The French Syndicate May Have Come to Stay.

The French Syndicate May Have Come to Stay.
 The New Haven Register in speaking
 of the French copper syndicate says:
 Before the syndieate's operations in
 this great metal the price was 10 cents
 per pound; at present the prices are b
 and 16 cents. All prognostications to the effect that the syndicate would not
 be able to maintain their prices, and that failure and financial ruin would over whelm the French capitalists for their
 unjust dealings with the copper consul
 mers of the world, were wrong. Here 1t is sixteen months since the syndicate be- gan operations. and they are controlling the copper market as firmly as ever. In the two greatest American mines | Hecla and Calumet-the owners are | making 2 cents pound above the divi- dends which were declared before the consolidation. So it seems the great | speculative investment of French capi- talists did not injure the owners of the
 American mines, who are making bigger dividends than ever before. When copper first advanced, many 1 patrons of the manufacturers insisted | upon the filling of their orders for goods could hardly refuse the request since
 many of the buyers were old customers. But when the buy CTS ordered they
 bought larger invoices than usual and sufficient in amount to last them long time. These orders kept the manufac- | turers busy for months and at profit
 on their goods which was not very satis-
 factory.
 Now that the market has become steadier and the manufacturers are look 1 ing upon the syndicates control of the | copper world as a settled affair for the present, they have no trouble i'll regu- | lating the prices of their manufactured l products accordingly. The chief trouble
 now is to guard against having too large
 supply of copper on hand lest a sudden
 tumble in price should subject them to l loss. And yet so great is the amount of brass used by some of the manufacturers | that it is necessary to order copper in | large quantities.
 Some time ago there were some indica-
 tions which led to the belief that the copper market would take tumble, but | these indications did not fulfill their pro-
 mise. The manufacturers, however, ,sub-
 .Iected themselves to more caution than
 ever in laying in stocks. and the market | quotations were watched with all the
 eagerness of dabbler in stocks.
 At present there seems no indication
 that the market will break. Manufactu-
 rers are unable to tell how long the fic, 1 titious prices will be maintained. They say it may be for years or the Frenchmen may be knocked out in few months
 They are backed by number of banks
 and Lave evidently come into the field
 of copper operations to stay. It requires
 a capital of several hundred million dol
 lars to control the copper market, but
 the profits are sufficiently ample for all
 the expenses of the trust and the pay. ment of fat dividends besides

IN MEMORIAN

Of Bertie Cullen. Died February ?. 1889. Age 3 years, months, 21 days. Little Bertie, how we loved her
 How our hearts on her were set, How her little voice would warble,
 I am mammals little pet" She was mammals little darling,
 She was Mamie's little niece, How their hearts would fill with pleasure
 When she'd start to speak her piece. She was like little soldier,
 Who was battling for life, And if but little older
 Would have had an easy strife. But our lord, who fondly loved her,
 He has claimed her for his own, He has placed her in his kingdom
 Close beside his heavenly throne.

An Insurance Demand.

Danbury has had so many bad fires
 lately that the insurance companies have
 decided that something must be done.
 The New England insurance exchange
 has demanded that the borough buy two steam fire engines, new hose carriage
 and hose, that the fire companies be re- duced to twelve men each, who are to be paid, that water mains be enlarged
 and that brick or stone buildings be sub stituted for wooden buildings on the business portion of Main street as soon as possible, but not to apply to the big wooden hat shops. Unless the demands are acceded to the exchange will raise | rates 50 per cent on the 1st of March, or l only D per cent if part of the demand is complied with.

What the Captain Saws.

Captain Mcdonald of the schooner Krantz, from which two sailors deserted one of whom died and the other is at the point of death, says that all stories are false which would imply that his cruelty drove the men to risk their lives. He says that the men hoped to get back to New York and draw their advance pay, and that the whole matter was a scheme to defraud the ships owners.

cessful in the suit pending before the Su-
preme Court, to make DR.. Charles E. Wright

understood that Dr.. Wright has signified
his willingness to accept the position, with
the understanding that his authority is not
to be interfered with in any way. He was
rendered the place when the new board
first organized, but refused to consider the
proposition until some steps were taken to
test the question of law raised by Governor
HOvey. "He has a very lucrative practice

FOUND In HIS TENT.
KOkemiller, Wanted on Two Serious Charges,
Rearrested and Returned to Jail.

A man who is wanted on two indictments
was arrested yesterday morning. Last
November. Harry Kokemiller was arrested
for attempting to shoot James Kruner, a
saloOn-keeper on South Meridian street, in
a dispute Over money he owed for beer
that he had drunk. Kokemiller was re-
leased on 81, 900 bond to await the action of
the grand jury. Before this case was dis
posed of, however, he became involved in a
quarrel with Samuel Barry, in the latter's
saloon, in the East End, and after thrash
ing him left the city to avoid a second
arrest.
Wednesday afternoon James Mefford,
who has for some time had a skiff on the
river near Sellers's farm, discovered that
the boat had been broken from it's mooring
and taken away. He started down the
river in search of his missing property and
found 1T, reprinted in order to destroy. its
identity, near a clump OF woods seven miles
south of the city limits, at a place known as
Eagle Bend. Near by was a tent,
and around a fire several men
were engaged in conversation. Mefford,
asked them if they could provide a means
for his crossing the river. He was given
the privilege of using his own boat, which
he returned after crossing and recrOssing
on his pretended mission. Coming to the
city, he notified Superintendent Travis,
and yesterday morning Sergeants Dawson
and Bruce, detective Joyce and Deputy
Sheriff Langenberg drove to the place,
where they found Kokemiller in his tent,
and capturing him, the officers were told
that his partner. Charles Wiles, was across
the river. They awaited his return, when
he, too. was arrested, and the two men
were brought to the city. Kokemiller was
placed in Jail to await the action Of the
grand jury, and Wiles was slated at the po-
lice station on the charge of petit larceny.

Many Reforms Successfully Carried Out by
the Women Oficials of Oskaloosa, Kan.
Atlanta Constitution.
One year ago the town of Oskaloosa, in
Kansas, made itself the laughing stock of
the State by electing q lady Mayor and a
Council of ladies. The first thing that the
new officials did was to enforce the Sunday
barber-shops and drug stores to keep, open,
but stopped the sale of cigars. tobacco,
bread and ice-cream. Next, the bad boys
were looked afer: A proclamation was is.
eighteen to keep off the streets after s
o'clock at night. 1t occurred to the ladies
that while they had the power the tobacco
evil ought to be dealt with, but the city at
tOrney told them that squirting tobacco
head of personal liberty and could
not be interferred with. They then
tried moral suasiOn, and appointed
q committee to visit every tobacco
chewer in town: This, course was COM
trouble about the sidewalks. For many
years very little attention had been paid to
the streets, and the prOperty-Owners were
unwilling to be taxed for new pavements.
The lady Mayor and her Council decided
that they would have good streets and side
tracts, superintendent the work in person,
and successfully fought the injunctiOns and
other suits brought against them by the
prOperty-Owners in the courts.
Now that they have survived a year of
petticoat rule, the citizens of Oskaloosa are
not inclined to make fun of it.. They say
that their town has pr0spered and has
made an enviable reputation for good NOR
ais, law and order. In this particular in
stance the female suffrage experiment in
Kansas has turned out very satisfactorily.
But one swallow does not make a summer,
and it will take more han one OskalOOsa to
r%evOlutiOniZe the world.
