1t is singular fact, muses. the New
York Recorder, that in the borrowing
of Western or Frankish clothing an
Oriental invariably begins with the
shoes. The transformation of an
Eastern to a Western is ever from
the feet up, and his headgear the last
that he parts with. On the other
hand the headgear is the first part of
the Oriental costume that Westerners
are tempted to adopt.

IS NO HIRELING.

So Says Alderman Kelly An Answer
 to Charges A gainst Him In an Even-
 ing Paper.
 An article which appeared in an even ing paper yesterday relative to Alderman Terrence Kelly has caused considerable comment. The article says Alderman Kelly is holding his office in the interests of the "Big Four" in the coming primaries for the convention which elects delegates to the big Chicago convention.
 Mir. Kelly was seen last night by re- porter and appeared very worked up over the story.
 He eaid: "That story is false in every particular. There is not an office in the gift of the city of New Haven which honor more than the position of alderman from the Seventh ward. I was elected
 there in spite of one of the strongest com
 binations which was ever formed against a man in that ward. Is it strange that nowa The story that would work for delegates to the Chicago conven- | tion Is ridiculous.

 The announcement of the meeting of the voters of the borough of West Haven to consider the matter of replacing on the principal streets the electric lights which were removed some time ago and which appeared in the several newspapers of the city some days since seems to have been entirely erroneous. No such meeting was called by the village authorities, but not withstanding large crowd collected at the village corners only to go away disap- pointed. The facts of the matter seem to be that petition was presented to the borough board in respect to the electric lights and that they were to consider in re- gard to whethar or not meeting should De called.

The number of trout now available at the state hatchery is 400, ,o00, and the commission CTS do not see how they can manage, as it is not considered advisable to plant less than 2,O0O fry at time, and at that rate there would not be enough to go around.
 The supply is larger this year by 100, ,000 than it was year ago, but the dry weather of last summer killed off large numbers of the younger fish in the brooks and every body wants to stock up this spring. It will result in the board asking the 1egisla- ture for a larger appropriation. The com missioners met at the capitol this morning to talk over the situation,
