PASSING AWAY.

The old State House seems to be really tot

solid men with solid money, by the Historic
al society and by Law with large L. But
all the props seem to have given way, and
even the effort to frighten Samson Qn the
person of Auditor Lake, from his deadly
grip on Its pillars is a failure. He will pull
it down, and, unlike the ancient Sampson
he does not mean or expect to be involved
in the ruins. He has the assurance of tn.
corporation counsel to the effect that he viii
not be, and he is therefore persistent ant
placid.

anywhere but in New Haven. It is to b.
hoped that some devoted friend or enemy O.

to save all that has been printed about th'
matter. It would make unique and inter
esting history. and by and by it would bt

Those who have fought 80 long and vel
for the preservation of the noble old ruin
are still aggressive. They will only be defeat

nearly 1000 who were planted there some
twenty years ago, the remainder having all
died, or, like those at Cananea, having been
transported back to England and Ireland at
the public expense and in the utmost misery
and degradation. Even to-day no sort of roads
for carts have been made to Assunguy from
anywhere, although the hard-working Gen.

THE GREAT FIGHT.


Sullivan and Kilrain really did fight yes-
terday after all the representations that they
wouldn't. They hammered each other Wig.
orously and scientifically for more than two
hours, and victory finally perched on Sulli-
vans side of the ring. Of course 1t was a
low and brutal affair, but also of course nine
out of ten newspaper readers will this morn
ing turn eagerly to the account Of 1t and read
it very thoroughly. Moralizing upon such
phenomena is not very necessary or very
profitable. Many people have become civil
ized enough to wish there were no prize
fights, but the interest in such contests Ii
great and general in every civilized country
It is the same spirit which animated those
who watched the gladiatorial shows in Rome
which animates those who In our day attend
bull fights, dog fights and cock fights. II
will be long time before it is eradicated
from the human race, and there are those
who think the human race wouldn't amount
to much without it.
We suppose that Professor Sullivan will
now be bigger, man than ever, and very
likely drunker one. He is champion Of
"the world" It is quite title. He will
receive more attention in Boston than Ralph
Waldo Emerson ever did, and for awhile can
have what he wants. 1t is proud day fol
him and his classic city.

GOWNS FoR BUSINESS WOMEN.

The Directoire Pronounced the Best
Tint Has Been Devised.
The present style of the Directoire suit is
probably the most hygienie dress that has
ever been worn by women, says the Business
Women's Journal. The absence of full
drapsry and the plain skirts prevent 1t from
encumbering the limbs, and relieve it from
the unnecessary weight which has been SO
serious an objection to the old styles.
The custom of making many of these
dresses without pockets ia not necessity.
The dress with seven pockets, referred to in
the article entitled 'Talks About Health" )" is
the Directoire style. Four of these pockets
are inserted in the vest in the same manner
as pockets are made in gentlemen's vests.
Two are in the upper part of the vest, one
for the watch and the other for q pencil.
The owner of this dress has had occasion
fort that pencil pocket is to me. never
before could find my pencil" Two of the
pockets referred to are placed In the lower
part of the vest to be used for car tickets
and small articles. In the back drapery are
inserted two oblong pockets, the openings of
which are drawn together by elastic cord.
One of these is found most useful as a recep-
tacle for memorandum book, the other for
card case. Under one of the panels on the
right side is inserted long pocket to be
used for the handkerchief and purse; and
| on the other side, hidden also by one Of the
panels, can be placed another pocket for
keys and other articles that are not needed
| for immediate use.
It is to be hoped that this style of dress,
| the Directoire, will not be of the ephemeral
| nature of many others, but will be generally
| adopted by business women, with the i'm.
provement in the way of pockets which w
have suggested. There is cry going on,
through the land from the lips of self-sup
porting women against the bondage of fash.
ionable dress. It is, indeed, a matter o.
great Importance that dress shall be worr
by business women which shall combine al
the artistic features of fashionable dres
with the comforts and conveniences re
quired.
The annoyances that have been caused b,
non-hygienio dresses heretofore in vogue ar
only fully appreciated by the self supportin
woman who finds herself constantly ham
pered by them. That women have been sue

ANECDOTE OF GIRARD.


Man In a Day.
Seeing story about old Stephen Girard
the other day reminded me of an incident
that shows one of his peculiarities, says
st. Louis Globe writer. Girard had a dray-
man who was decidedly poor man. One
day the drayman, who was an industrious,
bright fellow, with good many mouths to
fill at home, was heard to remark that he
wished he was rich. "What's that" sharply
said Girard, who heard the grumble. "Oh,"
said the man. 81 was only wishing was
rioh.' "Well, why don't you get rich," said
the millionaire harshly. ''I don't know how
without money!" returned the drayman.
"You don't need money" said Girard.
"Well, If you will tell me how to get rich
without money won't let the grass grow
before trying It," returned the other. "There
| is going to be shipload of confscated tea
| sold at auction tomorrow at the wharf; 60
down there and buy 1t in and then come to
| me-" The man laughed. "I have no money
to buy shipload of tea with. he said:
"You don't need any money, I tell YOU
snapped the old man. "Go down and bid
The next day the drayman went down to the
SALE large crowd of retailers were pres
ent, and the auctioneer said that those bid
ding would have the privilege of taking one
case or the whole ship load, and that the
bidding would be on the pound. He then
began the sale. A retail grocer started the
bidding, and the drayman raised him. On
seeing this the crowd gazed with no small
amount of surprise. When the case was
knocked down to the drayman the auctieneer
said he supposed the buyer only desired the
one case. "I'll take the whole shipload, "
cody returned the successful bidder. The
auctieneer was astonished, but on some one
whispering to him that 1t was Girard's man
who was the speaker, his manner changed
and he said he supposed It was all right.
The news soon spread that Girard was buy
ing tea in large quantities, and the next day
the price rose several cents. ''Go and sci
your tea" said Girard to the drayman mex
day. The drayman was shrewd, and HI
went out and made contracts with ssvera
brokers to take the stock at shade below
the market price, thereby making quicl
sale. In few hours he was worth $50,
000

waste basket. Brander Mathews income is
put at So, 600 a year. W. D. Howells earns
little more than Sc. 900, in addition to the
sum of $40. 900 from the Harpers. Richard
H. Stoddsrd receives 81, 500 year from Col.
Shepsrd's religious afternoon paper, while he
earns about the same sum by outside work.
Richard Watson Gilder's salary as editor of
aidered good pay for the work done. Bill
Nye receives 800 week for his humorous
matter printed in the World and other pa
pers, while his pay as a lecturer is little
more than 5000 week. Hs manages to be
funny at the rate of $15, 900 year as re-
ward. Nye is very saving, and if he doesn't
exhaust himself will be wealthy some day,
although he was poor man when he came
East and settled on Staten Island.
John Hsbberton. who made fortune by
writing ''Helen's Babies" has an income of
about $4,000, one-half of which James
Gordon Bennett pays him. E. P. Roe was
making $4,000 year when he died, and
would have increased that sum had he lived
and continued to grow in popular favor.
Mark Twain's income is put at $4,000
year, although much of that is the result of
publishing his own works. NJ. w. Hazel
time, who writes the long book reviews for
the Sun, receives for them 5000 week, or
$10,0 900 year. Joseph Howard makes not
less than $15, 900 year, and spends every
cent of it. He says that few years ago he
made as high as 100000 in 12 months.
Col. John A. Cockerill receives about $780,
900 year, and he is worth 1t to any news
paper. The newspaper editors are not as
well paid as the publishers. It is said that
Mr.. Dsna's salary as an editor was $4,000,
although, of course, his income from his
stock in the Sun is much larger than that.
The income of James Gordon Bennett, who
doesn't write a line, ,is several hundred thous-
and year, while Joseph Pulitzer is credited
with having increased his fortune by nearly
million Of dollars last year. These do not
however, get pay for the amount of matter
written.
Among the fiction writer's. Amelia Rives-
Chandler and Frank Stockton probably COM
mand the highest figures, although the
former is going somewhat out of fashion.
A. G. Gunter has made thousands from
the sale of his last three books, and has just
caught the fever for writing. The writers
of the Zola style of literature receive more
than their reward. The author of the "Gri-
sette," rather shady story recently pub
lished, hopes to run his income above the
$5 900 mark. The man who wrote "A Mar
riage Below Zero" is close after him. The
New York Sun pays three of its correspond
ents more than $4,000 a year. Arthur
Brisabue receives, I believe, $3.50 week,
while 3lakely Hall is just as literally paid.
