THE BIG FOUR TRIAL.

THE BIG FOUR TRIAL.
1t was evident from the lack of room to
accommodate those who wanted to hear
the testimony given at the Big Four trial
last evening that public interest in the
matter is not diminishing. On the con-
trary, itsappears to be increasing.
The ecross-examination of Mr.. Waldron,
the ex-clerk, was finished. 1t was severe
one, and he bore it well. Little was
brought out that is of any real interest,
and the weakness of the defence was ex-
hibited. The fact is, nobody believes
that Mr.. Waldron was turned
out because he was disoourteous, or
because he didn't do his work accurately
and we'll If these had been the real
reasons for his dismissal they would have
been set forth when he was set forth. It
is fatal error on the part of the accused
commissioners that they were not then
noticed, and it is decidedly late to intro
duce them now in palliation of an act
which should have had ample and public
justification before it was done.
Mr.. Kents testimony was principally
significant as showing that Commissioner
Atwater did not allow his interest in the
public works to obscure his interest in get
ting an honest penny or two out of the
city. Mr.. Kent had indeed hard row to
hoe, and his failure to keep Commissioner
Atwater's teams at work was clearly very
serious defect in his management No
wonder he was fired out.
On Friday evening Mr.. Hill will testify.

THE GREAT
Substitution SHOE SALE!
NOW GOING ON AT
254 Chanel Street.


Is unexampled in shoe trade history. nj.
Bristol & Sons are selling out. Our con-
nection with the new "Bristol Shoe Manu-
featuring Company" on Orange street
makes this imperative. Our entire stock
of boots and shoes must be out of our
store within the next six weeks. $50, 900
worth of boots and shoes must be sold.
Former prices knocked out, positively.
This sacrifice beats them all.
Friday morning, December 18th, our
prices will be cut all along the line, and
bargains unheard of will be offered.
We determined after 80 years of business
to manufacture and sell our own goods,
and as a consequence our Bristol Shoe
Manufacturing company was organized
last month. Its finished product is now
ready for our disposition. We must use
our own new shoes and therefore mus
clean out all other makes.

NEW HAVEN, CONN.,. WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 80

impartial investigation of the present
influence upon the election of new house
Of commons, the Investigations extending
over some months, and an arrival at some
interesting conclusions being obtained.
In the present house there are 369 con-
servatives and iberal-unionists, and 301
liberals and Irish nationalists, affording
the government majority of 6S. In the
new house, according to the Times, there
will unquestionably be 296 conservatives
and iberal-unionists, and 2S2 liberals and
Irish nationals, leaving the parties nearly
equal and 92 seats doubtful. 1t is pointed
out that most of these doubtful seats are
now held by conservatives or their friends.
which, with the advantage of the differ
ence of fourteen seats shown in the figures
above, would indicate that at least the
liberals are not to have a walk over in the
coming elections.
An interesting report has been made by
the Trustees of Public Reservations in
Massachusetts, which is empowered "to
acquire, hold and maintain for public use
and enjoyment beautiful and historical
places and tracts of land within this com
monwealth." The first gift made to the

The donor was Mrs. Fanny H. Tudor of
Stoneham A fund has already been
raised for the improvement of this tract.
The trustees are in receipt of many COM
munications recommending the acqui-
sition of lands and buildings either
attractive because of romantic beau
ty or traditional association. Among
these are: 1.-The banks of Charles River
at Newton Upper Falls, the Falls of
Beaver Brook in Belmont, the top of
Shootfying Hill in Barnstable, the Purga-
tory in Sutton, the Glen at Whately, the
Natural Bridge near North Adams, the
ravine of the Bash Bish in Mount WASH

Gloucester, Heartbreak Hill in Ipswich,
the Indian Cave in Medfeld, the Cradock
House in Medford, the Wayside Inn in
Sudbury, the Captains Well' in Amesbury,
and the well of The Old Oaken Bucket
in Scituate." The trustees explain that
they stand ready to take charge of any of
the places named, but have not the funds
wherewith to purchase them.

Walt Whttman's Last Poem.
lin the April Harper's, accompanying portra
of himself


Nay do not dream, designer dark,
Thou hast portrayal or hit thy theme entire:
I, hoverer of late by this dark valley, by its
fines, having glimpses of it
Here enter lists with thee, claiming my right to
make a symbol too.
For have seen many wounded soldiers die
off with smiles;
And have watched the death hours of the old {;
and seen the infant die;
The rich, with all his nurses and his doctors;
And then the poor in meagreness and poverty;
And l myself for long, o Death, have breathed
my every breath
Amid the nearness and the silent thought of
thee.
And out Of these and thee,
1 make a scene, a song, brief (not fear of thee
Nor gloom's ravines, nor bleak, nor dark-for
do not fear thee,
Nor celebrate the struggle, contortiou,
hard-tied knott,
OF the broad blessed light and perfect air, with
meadows, ripping tides, and trees and
flowers and grass,
And the low hum of living breeze-and in the
midst Gods beautiful eternal right hand.
Thee, holiest minister of Heaven-thee, envoy
usherer, guide at last of all,
Rich, horid, looSener of the structure knot cald
life,
Sweet. peaceful welcome Death.

The CoIdnc.. OF Lake superior.

lJuhan Ralph in Harpers MAgarinel
Lake Superior is capricious monster,
demanding skilled seamanship and the use
of powerful and stanch boats, the msjori-
ty of which are comparable with the YES
sells in our Atlantic coasting trade. The
lake is a veritable womb of storms They
develop quickly there, and even more
speedily the water takes on a furious
character. 1t Is always cold, and the at
mosphere above and far around il is kept
cool all summer. / have been told, but
cannot verify the statement, that the tenn
perature of the water iu the open lake
never rises above forty-six degrees Fahren-
heit. As a rule the men who sail upon IL
cannot swim. The lake offers no induce
ment to learn the art, and, alas. those who
are expert swimmers could not keep alive
for any great length of time in the icy wa
ter. When i WAS making inquiries upon
this point found, as one almost always
does, some who disputed what the majori-
ty agreed upon. i even found an old gen.
tleman, a professional man of beyond sew
enty years of age, who said that for seye-
raj years he had visited the lake each sum
mer-time, and that he had made IL q prac-
tice to battle in its waters nearly every
day. 1t was chilly, he admitted, and he
did not stay in very long. But many sail
ors, among them some ship and steamship
captains, confirmed my belief that few
Lake Superior seamen have learned to
swim, and that the coldness of the water
quickly numbs those who fall into it.
asked one captain how long he supposed q
man might battle for life or cling 70 spar
in the lake. He answered, very sensibly,
1t seemed to me, that some men could en-
dure the cold longer than others, and that
the more flesh and fat a man possessed
the longer he could keep alive. ''But." he
added, 1.-THE only man / ever saw fall over
board went down like a shot before we
could get to him. 1 always supposed he
took cramp"
The bodies of the drowned are said not
to rise to the surface. They are refrigers-
ted, and the decomposition which causes
the ascent of human bodies in other wa
tiers does not take place. If one interest
ing contribution to my notes is true, and
there be depths to which fishes do not de-
scend, it is possible that many a hapless
sailor-man and voyager lies as he died,
century back perhaps, and will ever thus
remain, lifelike and natural, under the
veil of those emerald depths.
