A New Version Of an Old Joke.


A pretty typewriter joke doesn't always
work one way. There is one well-to-do
downtown merchant at least who has rea-
son to believe that there is a variety in
styles of the Jest. This merchant is q
careful person-the characteristic helped
to make him what he is financially-and
he proposed to run no risks of family dis
cord through his selection of secretary.
In fact, so sure was he that his typewriter
would never introduce the green-eyed
monster into his domestic circle that he
merely announced one evening that he had
that day employed a performer on the lite
rary piano and then dropped the subject.
He heard nothing more about It for q
month or so, but then he went home one
afternoon to find his wife in q state of
mind with an open letter in her hand.
The letter, it was quickly explained, had
dropped from the merchants pocket that
morning. 1t was an innocent note in its
way from a business associate, but just at
the end it had this sentence: tsMet your
typewriter at the theater last night; seemed
to be a very chipper young person: spoke
of you very familiarity
There was fire in the good lady's eye as
she exhibited this letter She had heard
of typewriters before and all the trouble
they caused. She had decided 10 confront
the horrid person at once. Nothing would
do but her husband must escort her TO his
Office and there let her give the clipper
young person a lecture on the evils of fiirt-
| ing with elderly gentlemen. Not word
said the merchant until half an hour latel
| he and his spouse reached his Office s'Ths
typewriter is in there" he said. pointing
1 = ~
| the wife, and in a moment she was bacl
again, with a dazed look on her face. Jus

nance. "Yes, madam" he was saying, &c
am the typewriter the only one in the of
fce."

LETT ITS HAVE PEACE.

The town meeting yesterday afternoon
was turbulent affair, so turbulent that
it seemed occasionally that there might
be something more serious than war of
words. But all's well that ends well, and
loud and free talk doesn't usually do much
harm.
The fact is, the originators and support
ers of the movement to secure free books
for the parochial schools showed little dis
cretion in making another attempt yester-
day They also showed decided mis-
understanding, or a willful ignoring of the
law of the State. Any lawyer could have
told them, and would have told them,
that there could be no such thing as a
proper and legal introduction of their
scheme at yesterdays meeting. The meet
ing was called for the express purpose OF
voting the appropriation for free text
books in the public schools. No other bust
ness could receive consideration. And by
'public schools" of course was meant the
schools that are recognized by the law a:
public schools, and not any schools that
any people for any reason might choose tc
call public.
The meeting did just what it ought tt
have done. 1t attended to the business Of
appropriating money for free books in thu
public schools and paid no attention to an,
other schools. 1t is to be hoped that thi
action will end the injudicious and short
sighted endeavors of the supporters of tn
parochial schools. Nothing is to be game,
by raising the questions they have tried t.
raise. And it is evidence of good citizen
ship that many of those who might natu
rally be expected to join them in the mat
ter are decidedly opposed to them. Let u
have peace.

TIger-sIayIng I'm the wynaad.

From the ST. James Gazette
Among the hill tribes of the wynaad
there is a novel method of netting and
destroying tiger, which has somewhat of
the character of a religious festival, and
which is attended with much excitement
and some danger. Quite recently there
was, reports Madras paper. such an ex-
hibition at place called Kuntichadi. not
far from the borders of the lockwood es-
tate, at which, the paper in question in
forms us, seversi European lasfss and gen
tlemen were present. 1t was determined
by the Chettiar and the inhabitants of the
neighborhood to get rid of an immense til
ger that had already destroyed several
head of cattle, and a carcass was traced
into the midst of neighboring piece Of
Jungle on the slope of hill, about mile
and half from the hamlet. Along the
lower sides of this jungle a line was cleared
and nets, made of coir rope, We're set mp
on posts, some eight feet apart, while
above an entrance was left for the tiger.
At night the villagers and their friends
mounted trees and other points of vantage
and waited, armed with spears some eigh-
teen and twelve feet in length, for the ad.
vent of the tiger. He did not disappoini
them, but appeared during the night, and
entered the enclosure of nets through the
opening lett Tor klm. After invoking di-
vine assistance, and encouraged by one
who was believed to be under inspiration,
the watchers descended from their posts,
and with yells and shouts drove their roy
al victim into the middle of the enclosure,
when they closed the entrance with more
posts and rope netting. The men re
manned round the jungle all night, lighting
fires to prevent any attempt at escape; and
at noon the following day, after more GER
emony and much feasting, the whole coun
| try turned out in holiday attire to witness
| the work of destruction. The tiger, which
/ was fine brute, measuring about ten
/ feet, was then reused up to bestir itself
| by sundry insults from stones and sticks
and it made several furious rushes at ita
tormentors, only to be foiled by the net
| 1t was a magnificent sight to see it sprinl
forward with mighty roar and dash ii
| self against the net. After seyera
charges, however, it got disheartened an'
retired to the middle of the enclosure
from which nothing would induce it, h
move. The circle of rope-net was thel
drawn closer round it until the tiger coul,
be reached with the spear. 1t made on
more mighty charge, after demolishin
several spear handles, and was pierced be
low the neck and fell dead. The beast wa
skinned, and the skin retained by the hea
of the hamlet as trophy of the event.

Man and His world.

Professor n. S. Shaler in Scrfbner'sl
For all that we can foresee of the fu-
ture, the dependence of man upon the
conditions of his environment is of an in
superable nature. The good he wins he
secures by obedience to the commands of
his mother earth. Looking back over the
history of life upon the earth's surface, the
physiographer is forced to the conclusion
that its highest estate embodied in the
moral and intellectual qualities of man
has been, in the main, secured by the geo.
graphic variations which have slowly de-
veloped through the geological ages. Thus
our continents and seas cannot be consid-
cred as physical accidents in which and
on which organic beings have found an
ever perilous resting place, but as great
engines operating in a determined way to
secure the advance of life.

ALFRED HOWE TERRY.

ALFRED HOWE TERRY.
The death of General Alfred Howe Terry
removes another of the fast vanishing
prominent figures of the War of the Re-
bellion. Few great soldiers have better
deserved or more fairly earned their repu-
tation. The military instinct was always
strong in him, and he came by it natural
ly, some of his ancestors having been
prominent military men. His early edu-
cation in warlike matters was acquired in
different way from that of most soldiers,
but it seems to have been very thorough
one, and stood him in good stead in trying
circumstances of actual war. Early in the
war it was found that he could be relied
upon to act with promptness and force,
and that his judgment could be trusted.
His promotion from colonel to brigadier
general and major general was a fitting
recognition of his ability and services. He
was not talking general, but he was an
eminently fighting one, and he welcomed
opportunities to serve his country. As with
other conspicuous soldiers, his chief fame
rests upon one great action. He will be
known in history as "the Hero of Fort
Fisher" and the work by which he Sc
cured that proud title was of a character
which will stand high in the record of
great military achievements. That he
could and did do this work, and all the
rest which came in his way, SO well, shows
what manner of man he was, and his
especial fitness for the career he had
chosen. His military work since the war
has been distinguished by the same ability
and faithfulness to duty which he dis
played then.
Efficient and modest, high-minded and
honorable, General Terry had the admira-
ton and respect of his companions in arms
and all who knew him. His brilliant
| career was watched here in New Haven
with deep interest, and since his return
| here his old friends who were left have
been very glad to have him among them
and have felt proud of the honors he SO
worthily won and modestly wore. His
place in history is assured. His place in
the hearts of his friends is as secure.

IEsDAY MORNING, DECEMBER IL, 1896

started movement which Win have a
good deal of support outside of Water
bury. 1t is to secure the passage by the
legislature of some measure to protect local
merchants against peddlers, and the meas
ure it proposes requires that an itin-
Grant vender shall, under suit
able penalties, take out state and also a
local license upon commencing business,
disclosing fully the names and residences
of the owners or parties in whose interest
the business is to be conducted; that he
shall not advertise the sale of bankrupt
stock, or the like, unless he shall have pre-
viously filed with the state treasurer
an affidavit setting forth the details of
such bankruptcy, or other special reasons
why the stock is offered at forced sale
and reduced rates, and that upon com
mencing business he shall make deposit
with the state treasurer as security for the
payment of any claim for damages which
the purchaser may have against the dealer.
There are some interesting facts in the
annual report of the Russian Interior de-
partment relating to the ITO, 900, 900 souls
who inhabit the European part of that vast
empire. The number of births annually
exceeds the number of deaths by nearly go
per cent, and the increase of population
is nearly 10 per thousand, the highest rate,
we believe, in all Europe. Against these
favorable figures, however, must be set
others of most deplorable nature. The
number of suicides is about $500 a year,
of homicides about $3.50 and of violent
deaths of all kinds, perhaps $4,000. In
one year more than 2S9, 900 cases of typhus
fever occurred, with nearly 10000 deaths.
That disease is the national scourge of
Russia, and the fact speaks volumes against
the sanitary state of the country. An ap-
palling number of fires occur, with a loss
of about $45, ,00O, 900, and nine out of ten
of them are of incendiary origin. Drunk
enness is rapidly increasing; nearly one
third of all landed property is mortgaged;
and in the whole vast empire only 81, ,0O0,-
900 o year, or say five cents head, is
spent for public instruction.

His skeleton and His Gun Found
Years Anerward I'm n Hollow
Tree.
From the Globe-Democrat.l
Henry Gormley, at present boarding at
221 South Main street, has in his posses
sion map and travellers guide of the
United States printed in the year 1882.
Mr. Gormley has had the map framed for
preservation. Who the original owner of
the guide was and how he came to leave it
in the wilds of Montana, where Mr.. CORN
ley found it, is subject for speculation.
Mr.. Gormley, however, believes that he
can trace it to an unfortunate miner who
died in the early fifties while engaged in a
frenzied hunt for lost mine. Yesterday
afternoon he told the following interesting
story of the find and tragic death of Hor-
ace Thompson:
'Tt was last May" began Mr.. Gormlsy,
''and 1 was chopping timber in Chouteau
camp several times during the spring, each
time plunging deeper into the pine woods
and getting farther and farther away from

ON my third tree since dinner. 1t was q
pine, like all the others, and something
over four feet through. AS stepped up
and scanned it I failed to notice that it was
hollow, but at the first stroke found that

80 dull that I judged the hollow to be
very small and of no consequence.

out of the trunk through an aperture
about as big as a good-sized biscuit. "A

work widening the cavity, meanwhile
keeping bright eye out for whatever
might escape.

I noticed then that the wood cut of wa
nothing but bark grown inward with tn,

have completely covered the whole if givei
years enough. Suddenly / dropped m,

into the hollow. There, lying at the bot
tom, on a soft bed of decaying wood, wa
a sheet of paper, neatly folded. In it wa
the map and guide, exactly as You see i
now, and they had surely been in that tire
forty or fifty years. But the papers wer
not the only articles locked in that natura
safe.
Cleaning against the wooden wall, muz
zle up, as though placed there by its own
er, was an old flintlock musket, such a
