We discussed the international copyright
while we sat at dinner in the little baoi
room Of the restaurant where we had met
by accident about six o'clock OF a rainy
evening. We were all authors-American
authors. if you please-and all OF MS had
suffered by competition with the distin-
Euished gentlemen III the other side OF the
eater. who had been writing gratuitonsly
for American publishers. oh. how we had
suffered in that way! One had only to
look at us to see it.
The place is much frequented by literary
people, especially in the latter part OF the
week, before payday m round on the
big newspapers. We are we'll known there
and can ''hang up our checks. We always
pay them, OF course; we make enough to
live on, but somehow it doesn't last through
the week. It is q curious financial problem.
We appear to be running q race with Satur-
day noon. Some Of US are gaining on it
and some of us are losing ground. know
a man who used to begin to hang up his
checks on Wednesday nights, and now he
doesn't nave to begin until Thursday night.
BY nineteen years of steady economy he has
gained a day. l know another man who
lost thirty days and his credit in less than a
quarter Of that time. A judge afterwards
gave him the thirty days, but he has never
recovered tho credit. .
We are SO literary that we have impaired
a literary flavor to this restaurant. 1t has
gradually taken the place OF all other fla
vors in the tea and coffee. We discuss lit

Arthur Little here interrupted IA TO nay
that no thought international copyright
would help young American authors a good
deal. He was in hopes that before another
year had passed he might afford to get a
better fiat. He woald not aspire 70 a heat

hands already, and one of them "a gentle
man named Buzzard) had told him that !:

He had rejected the terms, and the pub
Usher had done the same act for the story.
Little owned, however, that he had been
tempted because he had never had anything
printed outside a newspaper, and he would
really like to see his name on the cover.

MOI was the answer, but he's one OF
the best copy-readers in town. He's the
only man on the Herald who can remember

"There's one thing / thank fate for in
connection with this copyright business"
said sewerly, "and that is that these French
fellows will have less show to monopolize
the market with their vile trash. 1t beats
me to understand why q Frenchman can't
write Of the relation Of the sexes without

Love Of Lucifer,' which deals with human

STRICKEN ON A sLooP YACHT.

STRICKEN ON A SLOOP YACHT.
George Stratton of Seymour Attacks
His Friends and Then Falls With
ApOplexy A Naphtha Launch
lows the Becalmed Yacht Into
POrt-The Sick Man Cuts Himself
BY Falling.
Captain Merrill White rented out a
sloop yacht, the Clarence, to g. Edward
Osborne, Alexander M. Fiske and man
said to be George Stratton of Seymour last
Saturday morning to be kept till last even
ing. At 6 a. m. yesterday, when the par
ty were off the Thimble islands, Fiske was
attacked with violent sickness. He
staggered about the deck, yelling and ges-
ticulating like wild man and threaten
ing his friends. They rushed upon him,
but before they could do anything the
weakness rose to his head and he fell
PROSTATE on the deck, cutting himself se-
verely in the head. Then he became un-
conscious and could not be reused from
his stupor for several hours. Mr.. Os-
borne, assisted by Mr.. Fiske, attempted to
sail the vessel home. Just then, to add to
their misfortunes, the wind died down
lands. The party was forced to be inact-
i've till toward noon, when a naphtha
launch from Larchmont, with physician
on board hove to and volunteered to tow
the Clarence back to New Haven. STRAIT
| toms injuries were cared for as much as
possible, and on his arrival here the police
| ambulance was summoned to carry the
| stricken man to place Of comfort. The
conveyance came in an hours time, before
which DR.. 9. P. Lindsey of this city
had arrived on the scene. He pronounced
| the case to be of the nature of an apop1ee-
| tic stroke, which was very serious, but af-
| ford possibility of recovery under care
full treatment. During the sick mans
stay at the boathouse he appeared sane
| and in his right mind, although exceeding
ly weak and nervous. He tried to get up
and walk about under the belief that he
inducing him to restrain himself. On the
arrival Of the ambulance it was decided to
take Stratton directly to the residence of
G.. Edward Osborne in West Haven. There
at late hour last night he was still con-
fined to his bed, not yet recovered in
strength and feeling at intervals a slight
giddiness of the head. It is hoped, how
ever, that he will be able to be out toward
the last of the week.
The sloop Clarence was manned by a
cook, sailor, and the three friends who
had gone out for two days pleasure
voyage. The party intended to have
sailed eastward as far as Saybrook, but
the accident put summary end to their
previous plans. Mr.. Stratton is man
about forty-fve years of age, in business
| in Seymour, and before yesterdays mis-
| hap of fairly good health.

The watch Identified.

Saturday night Officer Jarrett arrested a
young man who was trying to ascertain
the price of watch at the jewelry store
conducted by the executors of the late
Marcus Schwed. Maurice F. Reilly lost a
watch not long ago and had just reported
his loss to the clerk in Schwed's store.
The clerk instantly recognized the watch
when the young man passed it to him for
inspection. He quietly called Officer Jar
rett, who put the young man in the lookup.
Maurice Reilly lives at 1876 Ferry street.
He called at the police headquarters and
identified the watch yesterday morning.
The young man, whose name is Sheath,
said he found the watch two weeks ago.
He did not advertise, because he did not
know he had to. City Attorney Daley
will prosecute him to-day for theft.

"wILD BIRD, TURNS UP SAFE.
Stranded on NOrwalk Beach l
Tramps Bound for New York.

Stranded on Norwalk Beach by
Tramps Bound for New York.
The third of Captain Whites stolen
boats has been found. The captain has
had bad luck with his boats this season
and he was made excessively happy yes
terday when two men walked into his
Office and said that the "Wild Bird" lay
stranded, safe and sound, on the beach be-
low Wilson's Point, near South Norwalk.
Early this morning he dispatched his en-
,ploye, Julius Fisher, accompanied by two
young fellows, J. w. Gallagher and E. h.
Caldwell. to Norwalk, whence they will
| sail the lost craft back to New Haven as
speedily as possible, arriving here late in
| the afternoon.
The story of the yachts theft is a
curious one. Two weeks ago tramps were
| observed lounging about the captains
! boat house, eying keenly the various craft
lying along the dock. On the night of the
18th the same tramps sighted schooner
close by the wharf and entering it asked
the owner, Joseph Lawrence, for some
matches. Later, when all hands were
asleep, they quietly unshipped the vessels
dory and rowed off to Merrill Whites
quarters, where they cut loose the "Wild
Bird" and sailed in the dead of night
toward New York. At Norwalk, fearing
arrest, the men abandoned the boat and
continued their journey by land. For a
week or more the "Wild Bird" lay on the
shore unnoticed. Then somebody. caught
sight of one of Captain Whites postal
