fire broke out shortly after midnight in
the handsome stables OF john A. Bost-
wick. of the Standard Oil Company, at
his summer residence on Oriental
Point, overlooking Long Island Sound.

When they arrived, however, the

Gated to the stables OF Mr.. Constable, of
Arnold, Constable 4 Co., Of New York.
After the fire had burned out 1t was
learned that.Alr. Bostwick's coachman
and footman were missing. They were
known to have been sleeping in their
apartmcnts on the second floor in the
stable. An examination of the ruins

had been in i'll health for some time,
and when he saw his stables on FIRE he
suddenly fell backward and became un::
conscious. He died before medical aid
could reach him. Death is supposed to
have been caused by heart failure pro-
duccd BY undue excitement. The body
was carried into his room and the
greatest excitement prevailed in the
household. The nearest physicians who
had been summoned arrived only to DO
OF no service.
The dead mans coachman and loot

they returned to Mr.. Bostwick's place
last night they were both under the in

the fire was started by either Of the two
men carelessly smoking or handling
matches in the stable.
Eight valuable carriage horses and a
number OF carriages and carts were de-
stroyed. The stables were completely
Quilted and nothing Of the contents was
saved. The loss is estimated at $50, 600.
The Constable stables were also de-
stroyed, together with the contents, in

turnouts and harness.

A Proposition From Captain Meredith,
Chief of the Bureau of Engraving aud
Printing.
wAsuISarox, D. O., August IL
Captain Meredith, chief of the bu'
reau of engraving and printing, has an
idea which he will suggest to Secretary
Foster to carry out. He thinks il
would be a good move on the treasu'
rvs part to issue a new bank note for
circulation among the people in honor
OF the Worlds Fair. The Postotiice
Department proposes to issue set OF
stamps in honor Of tile occasion, and
Captain Meredith thinks it would be
Just as appropriate to get up a Colum.
bian bank note. He does not suggest
the preparation OF o whole set OF notes,
as the preparation of them would re-
uuire too much time, but he thinks
that a 81 note can be prepared, and
this would circulate freely among the
people.
There is an engraving Of Columbus
in tho bureau. It was made someyears
ago by Burt, who, in his time, was con-
sidered the finest vignette engraver in
the country. Gen. Miles sent to him
in New York for a suggestion for a por-
trait of Columbus to use on something
which he is preparing for the centen-
NAL, and Burt told him off the engrav-
ing at the bureau. It is a full-face por-
trait, representing Columbus with q
smooth face and wearing.a brigandish.
looking hat. A hated portrait would
be novely in bank note illustration.
Since tho controversy over the anthem
ITCHY OF the Columbian portraits has
arisen Capt Meredith has got copy OF
the Lotto picture, which the bureau OF
American republics has recognized as
the most authentic likeness, for use on
the half dollars, and has had several
photographs OF it taken. The engrayers
at the bureau are not at all pleased with
the picture, and criticize it from an
artists view point. But it is not I'M
likely that it will be used on the Column

should authorize 1t.

wrSsrED, CoxS., August l7,-New
gangs OF Italians have arrived at Win
sted, Chapinsville and Tariaville to
take the place of the men who struck
several weeks ago against a reduction
OF wages. The Central New England
railroad has since the strike been with
out track laborers, and the men which
heretofore have been sent here have re-
fused to work when they found that the
wages were 81 % per day. The repair.

who is Rembrandt2' is the start
ling title of u book by Max Lautner
which has lately appeared in Germany.
The author declares that great part
OF the paintings attributed to Rem
brandt are the work of Ferdinand Boil,
one of his pupils. This in itself is not
alarming. Similar statements have
been made before Flincks, probably
even more than Boil, painted like Rem
brandt. Bat what made this particular
statement Important is Mr.. Lautners
ability to prove it. By means OF new
Photographic magnifying process Of his
own invention lie has discovered, he
says, on numerous works bearing the
name of Rembrandt traces Of the name
of Ferdinand Bol scratched in the origi-
nal fresh paint and under the varnish.
This is quite clear, he claims, in the
case of Joseph and Potiphar's Wife"
bought by the Berlin museum at
great price BY means of his photo
graphic nagnifyins process he brings
out the traces of Bol's signature Ito
the left of the raised foot of Potiphar's
wife, on the PEDESTAL of the seat on
which she reposes." 1t might pay

to induce Mr.. Lautner to cross the At

of 1928 tons and Il, 900 horse power, is
to be put upon the stocks at st. Peters

clad coast vessels of from 1000 to 5000

Extravaganza in College Life


There Is too much jingle of the dollar
In the music at Yale promenade week.
everywhere one reads of the cost and
the large cost, of the various forms of
entertainments. In the opinion of q good
many OF Yale's best friends, it's about
time to shut down on the extravaganza
1t does nobody any good, and it does the
university some harm.
The splendid strength of Yale is in
the democratic spirit that prevails there
which gives any boy on the campus the
same chance and sees IN dollar only
the value that is given to it by the char
acter of its owner. As a general rule
the boy there who had his fortune to
make has STOOD better than the bow
whose father had made it for him. If
there ever comes a time when the fell
lows are sized up by what's in their
pocketbooks instead of by what's in their
heads, Yale will be a different institn-
tlon from the Yale of old, and a poorer
one, however much more money it NAV
give her. ''

pendltures and a discountenancino Of

several weeks, until he became an I'M

The lord bishop of Limerick, DR..
Graves, who has examined the Christian
antiquities remaining amidst the ruins
of several Of the great Egyptian temples,
states that many of these monuments
bear Christian inscriptions and are in
scribed with Christian crosses. Thus
the great temple called the Kameseum,
at Thebes, which has been used in part
as q Christian place Of worship, bears q
Coptic inscription On one of the columns,
with the figure of a cross, and on walls
and columns Of this temple great many
crosses have been rudely inscribed.
In the magnificent court Of the temple
of Medinet Haboo the traveller will see
q score Of columns, several of them bear
ing Greek inscriptions, and in the cham
bers on the northwest side Of the temple
he will see crosses designed to consecrate
parts Of the building which had pre-
viously been devoted to pagan uses.
These crosses vary greatly in form, and
the bishop calls attention to the close re-
semblance that exists between them and
those on many of the most ancient Irish
monuments. There are many examples
OF oriental crosses, he says, with or
without circles, on Ogam monuments
in Ireland and elsewhere. "-Philadel-
