Suicide In Meridan.

MERIDEN, June 27.-Philip Dessureau,
aged 90, committed suicide at 10:45 last
night by shooting himself in the head
with a revolver. He was married and
had child six weeks old. The deed
was committed at his home, corner of
Park and Center streets. Last Saturday
Dessureau and his wife quarreled and
she left him, going to her parents home
to live. Later she took all the furniture
during her husbands absence, but the
father kept the child. Last night Des-
sureau went to the home of his brother
to make a call. While there he became
respondent and morose and finally ex-
hibited pistol and remarked that no
one else would take furniture from the
house. Then he went home and shot
himself soon after entering the house.
He was dead when found by neighbors
who heard the report of the pistol.
Dessureau was known as a sober, in
IdustrioHs man.

Ready For The Game.

NEW HAVEN, June 27.-The baseball
game at the Yale field this afternoon
promises to be one of the greatest col
lege contests that ever took place in this
city. The sale of tickets has been enor-
nous, greater than ever before. 1t is
thought that fully 5000 people will be
present. This morning the Yale team
which passed the night in Bradford to
avoid the excitement incidental to com,
mencement exercises returned to the
city and limbered up a little on the
campus. The Harvard team which
stopped over at Meriden last night also
arrived in New Haven this morning in
good condition. Yale, of course, is the
favorite in the betting. At the New
Haven house last night and this morn
ing number of bets If 5 to 3 on Yale
were made.

National League Clubs Angling For
Catcher George Lachance.
Several league clubs have been fish
ing for George Lachance of this city,
who is catching for the Wilkesbarres of
the Eastern leagae, but Wilkesbarre is
not likely to sell. The Sporting Life says
that Lachance is a catcher of great
promise, and is also looming up as q
hard hitter. A Wilkesbarre exchange
says: 1t is said that Chi, ago is after
Lachance and is offering big money to
the stockholders for his release. Take
Lachance away from the WIlkesbarre
team and they may just as well take
away the bleachers.

Kelly Says:


What the eye don't see the heart never
orieves for. If friend Hewitt could see
the dispatch that he has offered 500 to
learn the secrets between KELLY and the
mill and see the low price which KELLY
has bought a whole trainload, consisting
of 16 cars or 1900 barrels of the leading
brands of -four, I think it would be enough
to make the great grocer grow gray over
night, and this would leave Hewitt's
grocery store out of the fashion, for it is a
we'll known fact that every business pace
from Dexter's Corner to Holmes & Par
sons Banking has Red headed Mascot.
In regard to KELLY'S Veracity when he
hangs up his fishing rod and takes off his
hip boots he is at par with the rest of the
world, and you could see the proof of that
to-day, it seems that everyone who wanted
to buy flour from Prospect to Woodbury.,
and from Woleott to Oxford, came and
ordered -four, to-day 1.-THE proof of the
pudding is in the eating. $4,95 will buy
any of the following brands of -four If You

Falls, Pillsbury's Best, jones' & Wash

The speed trials of new war SHIPS
going on of late have brought up
some references to the proposal OF
an experimental tank, made by Chief
constructor Wilson in his last re-
port. The purpose of this device,
as he explained, IS to determine the
resistance of the water to ships by
means of mo els. It is familiar in
several of the leading maritime
countries, and even private ship
builders have constructed such
tanks, beliving that the expense
of erecting and maintaining them
is more than met by their val
ue in solving problems relating to
machinery and hulls. Great Rri
tain has found it Of advantage tc
build two such experimental, tanks
the IL ore modern at Portsmouth be-
ing much superior to the one frst
constructed at Torquay. Probably
the cost of such tank, which i;
estimated at $4,000 complete, ha:
thus far been the main objection tt
it in this country, as there are SC
many other pressing objects of ma
val expenditure.

1t is now freely admitted that
while the opening exercises Of the
Worlds Columbian Exposition will
be held next Monday, the grounds,
buildings and exhibits will be far
from being III complete order at that
tina Whether the fault lies with
the managers, as charged by some,
or with the exhibitors, it is scarcely
worth while to enquire The fact
that the Exposition will be in a
more or less chaotic state is the
chief condition with which the pub
lie will have to deal Fortunately
the backward springs favors the
Fair management by preventing
the rush Of sightseers until gen
uine spring weather manifests IL
self. The residents, exhibitors and
Legislative and municipal deiega-
tions will furnish crowd quite as
large as can participate in the open
ing exercises The visiting public
will chiefly postpone it's visit until
overcoats and furs will not be re-
quirad for comfort, and this means
that managers and exhibitors vii,
have nearly another month in which
to set the exposition house in order
The Exposition will be officially de
clared open on Monday however.

The Royal Commissioner from Corea on
His Way Across the Country.
A San Francisco special says:
On the steamer Belgic, which ar
rived yesterday from China, were
the royal Corean Commissioner to
the Worlds Fair, two assistants and
ten musicians, as we'll as the new
Corean Minister to Washington and
his suite. The Worlds Fair Com
missioner rejoices in the name of
Chont Kiont Won, and the Minister
is vi Sung Sin. The heads of these
delegations, as well as the minor
| officials and servants, wear their
tall hats even at meals. The Min
lister was robed in the finest and
costliest of skins, showing differ
colors. His head was swathed in q
piece Of black cloth bound around
the top Of the forehead; on this
was q queer little cap, something
like the cap worn by Chinese, but
seeming SO small that it was little
more than a topknot Over
this was worn the broad
brimmed perforate hat. The
hat was as thin as a veil to al
appearances and as firm on his head
as though made eff fine wire. Royal
Commissioner Won, who represents
the hermit kingdom at the Worlds
Fair, said Corea would have a good
exhibit there. He hoped, he said
to learn much in this country re
garding great inventions and ths
advancement of the arts and sci
ences. The ten musicians for tn,
fair are jolly lot of orientals The,
came in the steelage of the Belgi
and were laughing and dancin,
much of the time Their queer in
struments on, which they make musi
were boxed up, and it was said the,
would not be opened up until to
boxes reached Chicago.
