ORATORY IN NEW HAVEN.

Certain of the wise say that oratory is
deoayiug in this country; that this practi.
cal age is unfavorable to the glowing i'm
agination, the fervid feeling. the rush of
ideas and the sympathy that give the orator
power over his fellow bsings to sway them
ss he will. They point to the days OF
Webster, Clay, Calhoun, Corwin and the
others whose words were like tongues OF
flame when first uttered, and can even
warm and move at this late day and in this
cold time. They sigh to think that these
mighty word -wielders are gone and that
the spirit which was in them fingers nc
more in an unfriendly world.
If We lived anywhere but in Now Haven
we might possibly think that this doleful
plant had reason, and that the
sighers for the good old days of
American oratory were justified in
do. And we have no doubt that others
have noticed, as we have, and with like
pleasure and approval, the adequacy Of
New Haven orators to any occasion that
may arise to be graced with their orstory.
Is there what the reporters call "a feast of
reason and a flow of soul" in this city
Some of cur orators will be there, and they
will fow in a way to justify the reporters
description. Is New Haven to be saved
from political ruin2 Orators in plenty are
found to save her. They will mount any
thing from beer barrel to a rostrum, and
fill the startled air with winged words and
the souls of those who egree with them
| with hope. Is part of the community in
need of salvation from some vice. Our
local orators are equal to the need. They
will talk great deal before they will allow
vice to answer back, and If the vicious are
not saved it is not their fault. Is any
| public work to be done2 Our orators are
not lacking. They can easily furnish tn.
needed words and motive power. They
are, in short, always ready to talk, when
ever the occasion justi6es them in letting
themselves loose.
No, oratory is not decaying in New
Haven. Some of 1t may possibly hav'
already decayed, but 1t is not decaying
We suppose there are people in New Havel
who would like to see little less oratory
but they are chumps and churls who d.
not understand that words Atty spoken ar
like apples of gold in pictures of silver
They would have found fault with Demos
themes, Cicero, and the other great orator
of antiquity. They would have laughe'
at Demosthenes as he walked along tn
seashore declaimiDg to the waves with
pebble in his mouth in order to cure tn
impediment in his spsech. These sou
fellows can't say that New Haven orator
have impediments in their speech. Th
utmost they can do is to darkly and malis
nantly hint that some of them show sligh
impediments located above their organs G

Metallic Flowers for Winter.

Some sensitive minded women object to
wearing flowers on their hats in the win

wear the real flower just from vanity, and
let it freeze, and artificial flowers are so
like real ones these days that ones heart
aches to see them In the cold. But who
can object to metallic flowers such as those
pictured-fowers of delicate tinsel, gold,
azure, ruby emerald, ETC., with shaded eff

and bunch of them stands up in front.

be law against any girl with red hair

Among the usual styles of ornament
must be reckoned large dragon, flies, with
jet and tinsel bodies, four small cocks
feathers doing duty for wings. I have
seen these used in pairs for trimming ca
potes and toques. A dainty cap was made
of piece of astrachan padded into the
required form; in front, about an inch
apart, were set two rosettes of aubergine
velvet, and in the center of each was q
dragon-fy jet with green feather wings.

THE new ASSOCIATION FORMED
And Its Demands Upon tho Amnlgn.
mntcd Association VIII be for Some
Radical Changes In the Scalc..JOhn
jarrett Coming Home from Europe
20 DO Secretary,

~PITTsnuNGII, Pa, March 1T has
been learned from an undopbted au.
thority that u determined effort will DO
made this year by tho now association
ot iron and steel manufacturers for the
adjustment Of The scale OF wages.
This association has decided to de.
mand from the Amalgamatcd Associa.
lion u change in the basis OF tho scale.
The question has been under discussion
ever since tho association was formed,
about n month ago, and members Of
the Iron and Steel Men Association
are unanimous in the opinion that there
shall be n change this year.
Heretofore tho basis OF the scale OF
WAGES has been bar iron, and the bar
iron men have dictated tho price and
manner OF doing the work. This year
the other branches OF the iron and steel
business propose 10 have 4 say, and take
u determined stand.
Another radical and important change
the association will demand is that
there shall be three turns OF eight hours
each. At present much work is done
by piece work, and only the day men
work by the ton. The association will
demand that the scale be SO changed
this yeurthat all the work shall be paid
for By The ton and not by the day or
piece work.
The new association is entirely indie
pendent OF the Bar Iron Manufacturer
Association and the Tin-Platc Associa-
ton. and has been formed for the pro-
lection OF the iron and steel men in this
section. In It are represented 80 firms
in Pittsburgh and the Ohio Valley, and
between $4,000 and 10000 men are en-
ploycd by the firms represented
No halfway measures arc Contem-
plated. but each and all OF the demands
made will be urged and insisted on.
That they will meet with most deter
mined opposition, both from the Anal
gamdted Association and the bar iron
manufacturers, is certain, but the mem
bers OF the association have carefully
weighed all questions and are prepared
to accept all tho consequences OF the
radical demand. 1t inauguratcs the
greatest struggle between capital and
labor yet had in this vicinity, and will
affect the iron and steel industryiof the
United States and it is Il notice to the
Amalgamatcd Association that the man
ufacturcrs mean to dictate their own
own terms.
\ great fight is on, from all appear
ances, and the outcome is one OF great
importance. 1t is more than possible
that John Jarrett will be the secretary
OF the new association before the annual
convention OF the AmaIgamated AssoCia-
ton. and viii take an active part in the
coming fight. 1t having been learned
that Alr. Jarrett was DESTROYS OF return
ing to this country, several meetings OF
the association were held to discuss the
~advisability OF securing his services.
Among the reasons for this WIS the fact
that various men in the iron and steel
business were consulted about obtaining
their Services, but lone OF them could
give their exclusive attention to the
work.

MINNEAPoLls, MIMI, March AT
the time OF Archbishop Ireland's sum-
mons to the Vatican it was reported
that he was TO be raised to the cardinal
ate, but it has since transpired that he
went to Rome at the popc's invitation
to accept the position OF cardinal pre-
feet. The last time Cardinal Gibbons
was in Rome he showed the popo the
necessity OF having an American cardi-
nal project at the Vatican; that Amer
lea, with its millions OF mixed nation
~alities. must sooner or latcr burden the
Vatican with more complaints than the
council of cardinals would find time TO
consider; that the only effective way OF
giving the church in tits country the
attention it merits would be to have a
representative at Rome. This sllggcs-
ton the pope is said to have acquicsced
in and promised to consider as soon rs
possible.
