John r. Anderson, an Eastern engineer and
contractor, suggests artificial islands, two miles
apart, say 500 feet In circumference, to be built
OF iron cassons on concrete foundations, to be
located at such distances outside of principal
harbors as to protect against assaults by ships
with ioag range gums. His idea is to fortiiy
these islands strongly, and that they be an
nu ar in shape. with harbors OF refuge for tor
pedo boats within their circuit He estimates
that such island forts could be built for sl.000,-
600 each. But one objection has been urged.
which, however, may be q serious one; that
such structures might obstruct the harbors they
would be intended 20 protect, and cause the
formation of bars

SISTER ROSE GERTRUDE.

A misleading item recently APP
peared in the Times newspaper
relative to Sister Rose Gertrudc's
position. For the purpose of en-

Board of Health, Is now published:

JUDGE sHIPMAN's ADDRESS.
HFakes,, on tho stage. TEror,n tha T I.ondon Tid-Rjfs I

So much has been written about the stage that it might be thought that by this time there remained nothing now to reveal in connection with the we'll worn, but interest," ing theme. But, although innumerabls books have been published on the subject of theatrical "make up," and thousands of amateur Thespians now understand all about the paints and powders which are re- quired to transform innocent young gentle- men into scowling villains and middle aged ladies into simpsring heroines of sweet sev- entesn, there are dozens of secret dodges, or ''fakes," as the term is in theatrical circles, which have never been made public.
 Many of these are known only to limited number of actors, who guard them jealously, for, triaing though some of the flakes" may seem to the general public, the possession of exclusive information of the kind Rives an actor an advantage over his fellows which is of considerable importance in the dramatic | world. The witches in "Macbeth" and in the Ly- ceum version of "Faust" were in reality sla-
 borate works of art. The actors and actress
 e who played those characters spent con-
 siderable time in preparing themselves for the stage. Aftsr ad1usting their wigs they | turned their attention to their eyes, one of
 which was usually treated in the following
 way: Half walnut shell was taken and .
 hole bored through the center. It was then placed over the eye, and having been secured
 in this position was afterwards painted white. The effect of this arrangement was ghastly.
 A simple dodge is to glue small bit o1
 linen or piece of . kid glove over the op.
 tic, paint being applied q before. In panto. mines and spectacular pieces tho Rnomea and tiny anrifas fracuoutly have their oyo.
 lids painted like eyes, 50 that when the for
 nsr are closed and opened rapidly a success.
 sion of eyes appear to be rolling in their
 sockets with . decidedly horrible result. Slips of tinsel are also affixed to tho eyelids,
 the eyes in this case seeming to gleam with
 unsarthly fire. MT. Irving, as Mephisto' phelss, utilized this notion.
 As for the nose, that feature is capable of
 being treated in an extraordinary number of ways. The amateur actor generally contents
 himself with painting 1t, or, if the exigen- cies of his part require that his usual protn. berancs ahould bs enlarged or quaintly shapsd, hs eoss in for . gutta psrehA 4sa.. t1ze, NhaeA A eaSily aetaehed hy neAns q

A RICH HARVEST.
pr. McChesney's Annsversary Day.

pr. McChesney's AnntversaFy Day.
 The spirit and results of last Sundays ser- vices at the Trinity Methodist Episcopal church justified all reasonable expectations.
 The interest of the day culminated in the evening services. At the revival service, in connection with the Sunday school, about thirty presented themselves for prayer, many for the first time in their lives. There was manifest quickeniug also in the meetings of the Kings Daughters and Young Men's Prayer league. The clements wsre gathering for the harvest of souls which followed. Dr. McChesney had announced that he would preach in the evening on the text which just thirty-five years ago was instrumental in his nouncing the identical hymn and tune sung thirty-five years ago. Then came the text,
 "Behold, now is the accepted timel Behold,
 now is the day of salvation"-sscond Corin- thians, vi, 4.
 Then followed plain, practical sermon
 showing what salvation includes and what
 the accepted time means, namely, the time when God will accept the truly penitent.
 This was followed by recital of the cir cumstances of the conversion of the speaker. When at the close of the sermon he gave out the invitation in little while the altar was l filled with seekers after truth. A noticeable | fact was the number of young men who came | to the altar as seekers. The service closed al 9:15 D. m., large audience having remained 1 to the close. Thus closed another harvest l day at Trinity.

quickly drying gum. These methods are very primitive and old fashioned, aud are never resorted to by ''old hands"
 In farces, pantomimes and burlesques the low comedian often appears with turn up OF very long, thin nose. The former is ac- complished by means of the thumb ot kid glove turned upside down, % that the ex- tremity points upward, while Q finger filled with cotton wool, the outside being painted "to tasts,' is used in the latter case. Cotton wool is also largely employed for enlaTging the nose. Bunchss are stuck on and slightly damped. In that condition they are capable of being squeezed into d. most any shape. Very frequently, however, . special kind of paste is used. This is first heated and then applied to the nose, and as ! soon as it cools 1t sets as hard as . rock, 60 | every night for lengthy period it is liable to permanently alter the shape of the nasu- 1 ral feature.
 For hideous characters, witches and the | like, the noatrils are kept open by means of little pieces Of bent wire, and when 1t is de- sired to give the nose one sided appearance the same "faks" is utilized.
 Fat cheeks are usually made with cotton 1 wool stuck on and colored.
 | An appearance of revolting hidsousnese may be imparted to the face by applying sheets of goldbeater's skin to the cheeks. The shiny. wrinkled skin graphically con. veys the ravagss of time or disease. Freck. les are made by dipping stiff haired brush into somo brown paint and getting some one to flip 1t over the face.
 But perhaps the simplest and most ingen' ious sfake" in connection with the face is tt be found in the method of manufacturing those little black circles and dots which ar' worn in "powder" pieces, eueh as "Th' School for Scandal" and "The Rivals," ant which go by the name of sbeauty spots.'
 The popular idea is that these are made O black court plaster. Those who are clever however, use the flat heads of periwinkles which are easily attached with gum and Q easily removed. Would any of our reader have thought of this curious, yet simpl ideal
 The hands of some characters often re quire as much attention as their faces. Tn witches in "Macbeth" invariably display lon pointed nails, or rather talons. These ar made by attaching waters to the nature nails and cutting them into shape.
 Hundreds of those who witnessed MI Beerjohm Tres's extraordinary "make up" 8 Falstaff doubtless left the theatsr wondering how the sparssIy built actor pontrived give his face, and especially his neck, SO fs and bloated an appearance. The cheek were simply pads attached to the beard, an their arrangement called into play no specie skill or ingenuity.
 The neck, however, was most cleverly al ranged in the following way: An ordinar handkerchief twisted into roll was boun round the actors neck, the extremities beip
 concealed at one end beneath the collar (
 his tunic OF jerkin, and at the other unde
 his beard. The irregular folds were the
 thickly daubed with grease paint an
 touched up with the paint brush. All wh witnessed the play must admit that, thoug simplicity itself, this "fsko" was singularl
 realistic and thoroughly effective.

 NEW YoRE. Feb. 24.
 Railroad bonds were dull and the dealings reached only $572, ,ooo while the fluctuations were slight and ulinportant as a rule with a general dropping tendency, Richmond and Danville con- sols are down one at 116, St. Louis, Arkansas and Texas first certificates at s6Sz and Tennessee Coal dividend sixes at 1121z.
 The stock market was moderately active and dis played strong tone in comparison with last week. and prices this evening are generally fractionally better than at the close on Friday. One of the most influential of the causes which acted to keep prices down was the further drop in Tennessee Goa, and Iron, which was coupled with continuation o the weakness in Louisville and Nashville. There was undoubtedly heavy covering of shorts in the general lst while Tennessee Cos and Louisville declining, and the general list dis played degree of strength that very gratify- ing to tho average operator although the improve ment was devoid of special movements outside of the late leading weak stocks Rock Island and Chi cago, Burlington and Quincy, to which was added sharp rise in Chicago, St. Louis and Pittsburs among the specialties. Considerable irregularity existed in the early dealings but fractional ad. vance was followed by a reaction, which reached only small fractions except in the coal stocks, in which the bears tried to take advantage of the weakness of Tennessee Coal to depress. The effort was without conspicuous success and priees again rallied, while the grangers were specially strong with tho rest of the list following. Tennessee Cea dropped from 6o< to 6 then to b9. and later to 51 though in the final trading recovery to 59 was ac l complained Tho stock for the first time since the drop began seeming to receive some support.

A Case for Sympathy


 The Litch8eld Enquirer takes up again the case of the man Bion, now In jail there under such heavy bonds as to mean perpetual i'm. prisonment, and makes e plea for the pris- oner. It will be remembered that BIon was sent to prison about twenty years ago for robbing Lyman Dunning's store in Canaan. After he had served his time he returned there and tried to blow up tho house and family, and for that got six years more, and then on being released he was persuaded to go to France, promising never to return. He did return, though, lately, and was found in Litch6eld county again, though he was work ing in New York state. There is reason to be lisve that the old spirit of hate and revenge is still in him, though the Enquirer intimatsa that Connecticut court hasn't power to pun. ish . man for threats made in New York state, even If after making the threats hs comes over here to enforce them.
 This may or may not be all so, but we can. not help entertaining very live and sincere sympathy for MT. Dunning. Mighty little good would 1t do him if the sovereign state oi Connecticut should hang Bion after he had Dunning. It would not revive the dead man Moreover, if Bion had any money to hire skilled coussl, we deubt if he could b. hanged. His chronic hate, carried over SC many years, would bs construed to prove [ diseased mind, wrecked moral nature, [ case for pity, an insane man, etc., etc. Il would be argued that Hr. Dunning could not benefit by tho hanging, and there would be as much sympathy for the murderer ther as for the prisoner now.
 It seems to be . choice of which shall suf. fer, tho man who has twice brooken tn, law, who has threatened murder and attemp ted 1t, or the law-abiding citizen who hal had the misfortune to be robbed and thel hated by criminal. Let any man, wh, would pass judgment on this curious case stop and ask how he would feel about 1t i hs himself were the party whom l.wless person had determined to kill. Is the lav for those who disobsy it, or for those wh recognize and obey ita-Hartford ,Courant.
