RUDE WOMEN.
rhsre Are Not Few sf These People in the VIA
 World.

l World.
 There arc 90 many typos of ill.man- nered women that it is difficult to know with waich to begin first But per- haps the woman who wants to settle tho affairs of every one is am ong the most unpleasant She considers 1t her duty to give advice on all possible oc- casions and to tell the truth with bru- tai frankness, says the New York Star. Such . women is tolerated, not liked, nor loved. and never welcomed. The door is never opened wide to re- :elve her, and it is closed with B bang of relief behind her.
 She is first cousin to the woman who always says what she thinks. which results in her saying great many rude things and in making every ore uncom fortable with whom she comes in contact. In her eyes it is wicked to tell white lies, but it is no sin to m ke people unhappy by unfeeling remarks Putting aside tho telling of white lie that some persons think so wicked, there remains to them the virtue of silence. But this is something the truthful, honest person cannot under stand. She must speak, she must say what she thinks. regardless of the fact that she is giving oiTense. And SO she goes through life. stabbing people right and left. by whom she is ab- horred as well as feared. Is 1t not a sin to make others unhappy by sharp wordsa
 There is another type of woman whose indifference is only 2 passive rudeness. who shows no courtesy to any one; who looks with wild horror on any one who takes tho trouble to be polite, and who sits stolidly silent in a room full Of people. Sine does not exert herself to talk, to be polite, and hardly responds when spoken to. There are people who find excuses for hershe is unhappy. she is ill. she is thoaghtless. they will say. It is im- possible that she can be so afflicted ut all times. No; her indifference Is only another name for rudeness.
 There is another type of woman who is as much bore us is the woman who continually gives advice. It is the woman who gives information, who is forever correcting the mistakes of others in order to show her own supe- riority. She generally does this be- fore number of persons, thinking to impress them with the cultivation of her mind, with the exactness of her Knowledge aud with her kindness in parting with so much that is valuable She is of near kin to the exact woman. who is equal to the pestilence and ter TOT spoken of in the Bible Every statement made in her presence must be exact. even to the minutest details. or she will spend an hour in discussing the question whether it was just three weeks ago that certain circumstances occurred. or two weeks. four days and ten hours. It is not of the slightest consequence whether it was three weeks or thirty. but she must settle the matter to suit herself before any one elso present Is allowed to say work

POLO.

Mertden Wins From New Haven-A
Close Game-Meriden Fouls Three
Times.
The game between the New Ravens and
the Meridens at the Polo rink in this city
last evening was hustling one through
out. The Silver city players played with
snap and vim. They were in an excellent
condition. The New Haven team played
with snap also-that is, four of them did,
for Hill was sick man and had no bust
ness on the floor Whitney played as fine
game at half hack as has been put up by
any half back in this city, Reed put up a
good game at goal, making twenty-nine
stops, some of them, too, when the Meri-
den rusher had him alone
The New Havens played good game for
the first half, starting off with the first
goal in 1859. Hill played we'll enough
here and indeed to the end of the half.
Woodtke and Newcombe rushed in fine
style. The Meriden team were there, how
ever, and played the game to protection,
taking the next four goals. The New Ha-
vens had the next two goals.
In the last goal Null Smith showed his
dirty work when Woodtke got by him with
the ball by holding his stick. There was
no one to save the goal but Curley and it
was almost sure. The foul was called.
however, and it did Meriden little good as
Wodtke got the ball again and passed it to
Newcombe, who Gagged it,
Meriden got two more goals and then
New Haven got one. Three fouls were
called on Meriden, taking off goal, and
making the score at the close of the game

ABOUT A MATCH RACE.
The Offer OF the E.ubinger Brothers
Not Accented.

The Offer OF the Esubinger Brothers
Not Accepted.
At the recent Derby races, which closed
few weeks ago, the Hubinger brothers
and George L. Lilley of Waterbury had
considerable talk about matching their
trotters. At this time the Hubingers
made several propositions, one after an
other, none of which Mr.. Lilley accepted
The Hubingers preferred to have the
match decided on the track in this city,
but they have concluded to waive their
preference for their own track and in def
erence to Mr.. Lilley's wishes have made
him another proposition for match to be
the Norwalk track. For the purpose. of
making the match the Hubinger sent their
driver, Mr.. Lewis, to Waterbury on Thurs
day with certified check for 81 900 and a
written agreement for Mr.. Lllley to accept
or decline. The agreement specified that
the Hubingers would match their gray
trotter Lady Thompson, 2:264, against Mr.
Lilley's gray horse, Parker j., 1921, or
the brown trotter Lynx, that is in Mr.. Lii
ley's charge, and like the other horse is
eligible to the 2:27 class. An offer of this
kind is little out of the ordinary as the
Waterbury man can match either one or
both of his horses against the Hubingers'
single horse. At the recent Poughkeepsie
meeting Parker J. went trial mile in 2 :2244,
but this does not deter the New Haven
men from having race between the
horses.
If Lilley accepted the offer, he was to
put up $3.50 against the $1,000. the stake
to be deposited with the editor of one of
the Waterbury papers.
When Mr.. Lewis returned he reported
that the match was not made. He stated
that the horses may yet come together
in race this fall. 7:
If the match is made there is general
desire among New Haven horsemen to
have the race decided on the Elm City
track.

An Old Political Item.

To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER.
The following, a clipping from an old
paper that was issued early in the forties,
during the agitation of the sub-treasury
act, may be of interest to your readers in
comparison with editorials during the late
elections. 1t is headed correspondence
of the N. Y. Times and Star" and is dated
August Is. 1t reads: "Mr. Clay throws
oil on the troubled waters. He is for
peace, union and copciliation. Congress,
he says, has done it's duty to the people;
the president has constitutional right to
his opinion and to the exercise of it. The
Locofocus have had sundry meetings to
decide whether they should support Tyler
in case of veto. Mr.. Calhoun is in favor
of it, but Wright, Benton & Co. are decid-
eddy hostile. Benton, in his vulgar way,
said, I would as soon take back my wife
after she had been residing four years in
an abandoned house as to take back John
Tyler after his union with the federal
wings and his signing the repeal of the
sub-treasury act'"

THREE ACCIDENTS.
Fell Upon a Red Hot Horseshoe-
Perhaps Fatally Injured.

Fell Upon Red Hot Horseshoe-
Perhaps Fatally Injured.
Patrick O'Donnell, employed by Henry
81. Northrop, the horse-shoer at 80 Broad
way, fell in fit while at work yesterday
afternoon at $3.50 o'clock. In falling he
struck and lay upon the red hot horseshoe
on which he was working, which pene-
trated his bowels. He was removed to the
hospital, where the wound was dressed,
and he was afterward removed to his
home, 607 George street. He is married
and has been subject to fits for some years.
1t is doubtful whether he will recover, the
injuries being very serious.
FELL OUT OF WINDOW.
A singular and painful accident hap
pened to Robert D. Simpson of "a Cottage
street yesterday morning. He was sitting
in chair with his back to a window when
he was taken suddenly with violent con-
vulsions. The chair he occupied tipped
over backward and Simpsons head crashed
through the window, breaking the glass
and the frame.
Dr. M. Smith who was summoned, found
that cash three inches long had been
made by the glass in simpsons neck,
which severed one of the glands. The
lobe of the right ear was cut in three
pieces, and the entire right side of the
mans head badly lacerated
INJURED INTERNALLY.
Luther Pratt, q foreman at the manufac-
tory of Sargent & Co., who lives in East

evening by being thrown from his carriage
near Tomlinson's bridge. Dr. II, Smith,
who was called, found that Mr.. Pratt, was

BEATS THE RECORD.

Business Prosperity Indicated by
the Sale of Stamps at the POST
Office.
The sale of stamps at the New Haven
postoffce during the month of October has
been The largest in the history of the post
Office. Over $4,000 worth were sold.
This unusual demand is caused by a gen.
eral business prosperity and is an indica-
ton of anything but dull times and speaks
also of the continued growth of our city.
The mails have recently been heavier than
usual, which corresponds to the increase
in the sale of stamps. According to the
estimate of Postmaster Sperry the mails
will be increased by the coming city cleo
ton, and to provide for the extra business
extra help has been applied for.
During the past month record has been
kept Of the time required for the delivery
of special letters. All the boys are now
supplied with bicycles. The average time
of delivery is less than twenty minutes.
This special delivery system commends it
self. Small messages or packages can be
sent about at very small expense. A two
cent stamp and ten cents extra will pay for
delivering any message or small package
anywhere in the city.
