the latter are plated into a rope and twist

long and pointed and are set in vertical
tufts on each side of the crown; whereas
the velvet composes three wide loops seve-

erect and the others jutting out-on either
side, or else is pucked up into rosettes.
This sort of decoration is mostly applied
to broad d-brimmed hats, black, brown or

flowers is an improvement.
A very pretty hat of this shape Is made
of puffed blue tulle, around which eor-

PRINCIPAL OR PRINCIPLE.

The question which IL agitatiDg what
are called Educational cireles'' 10, shall
Mr.. GuAiver travel away from the. High
School because Educator Thomas wants
his scalp and is on the warpath. filing the
startled air and startled ears with war
whoops, and waving his bloodthirsty toma-
hawk in way calculated to strike terror to
the heart of Mr.. Gulliver and the hearts
of the "pale faces" of the Board of Educa-
ton?
On general principles we suppose Prin-
cipal Thomas ought to be the principal
figure at the High School. Indeed, he
ought to be "the boss" provided he is the
man for the place He evidently means
to be, and his intent is, as far as 1t goes, a
sign that he ought to be. But his as
sault on Mr.. GuIliver doesn't have
just the right look. 1t doesn't
look like the temperate, well con-
sidered move of man sure of the iustice
of his cause and his attitude, and it does
look "a If he had been for some time on
Mr.. Gulliver's trail, and is now about to
tomahawk him in full settlement of ac-
counts to date. If this Is the case he ought
not to be allowed to do it, for though the
Quinnipiac Indians once lived around here,
the region ia now civilized. There are
churches on the Green. There is q High
School, with principal named Thomas.
There is Chamber of Commerce, which is
struggling nobly to free itself from the
curse of drink. There is a Historical So
| ciety, which could easily prove to Mr..
Thomas that his mode of warfare is ancient
| and discredited-- There is, above all, and
more notable than all, Society here, which
is trying to make New Haven place ft to
live in and fit for "stags" to disport them
selves In Why, then, should Mr.. Thomas
60 up and down in such q place IS this,
raising the hair of the Board OF Education
| by his menaces and seeking to raise the
hair of Mr.. Gulliver with his sealping
| knife? When he made his famous and
| ferocious attack on the English language
awhile ago he showed what he might be
capable of, but he really ought to spare
the peaceful people of New Haven the
painful scene which he now seems bent
upon putting before them.
We suggest to Educator Thomas that in
stead of continuing to pursue Educator
Gulliver with uplifted tomahawk and
keeping a disturbed community on edge
waiting for the blow to fall, he change his
tactics, put his rude and conspicuous
weapon out of sight, and wait for a chance
to ssttle Educator Gulliver's hash in a
more approved modern fashion. If he will
do this he may be able to attain the end he
seeks without making such disturbance.
And he would probably have help from
some members of the Board of Education
who are expert in putting people out Of
the way without violence or noise. Edu
Gator Thomas is disturbing New Haven
and it is as dangerous for him to do thai
as he is for Educator Gulliver.

| Not q great while ago there was boom
in the endowment" business In Nassa-
ohusetts Thousands and tens of thousands
of people were joining one or more Of the
| endowment orders. Hope fourished and the
prospect Of getting great deal for nothing
| was very bright. Gentlsmanly agents
passed around among the people just as
they do at the circus, and took the people
in just as the gentlemanly agents who sell
things at the circus do. But just when
all the hopeful and the confident ones had
their skirts spread to catch the expected
rain of gold tsere was a change. The boom
collapsed and instead of q warm ain of
gold there was a chilling frost of
disappointment and loss. One after
another of the orders got into difficulties
and soon the whole business was dis
credited. 1t went from bad to wo,ee.
The Insurance commissioner did his duty
in exposing the true character of the
fraud, and the law stepped in and put its
ban upon it. Order after order was wound
up until only eight remained, and these
are In their last days.
The record of the boom and the col
lapse is an impressive one. During their
brief existence, the ffty-six Massachu-
-setts corporations of this class gathered
a membership of 1856, 900, and collected
from the certificate holders over $12, 50O,-
600. From this sum less than 8 per cent.
of the membership received in payment
of the earlier matured certificates over
$4,000, 600, while over $4,000, 600 was paid
in claims for sickness, a large proportion of
this to certificate holders in excess of their
contributions, and with the natural result
of the Immediate disappearance of these
enriched members from the rolls, at the
cost of those remaining. Nearly 81, ,000,-
0O0-one- half undeniably If not undis-
guisedly steal, went into the pockets of
the promoters and officers as "expenses,"
leaving at the end only about s., 900, 900
for distribution to the remnant of $780, 900
members, only a trife more than was
gobbled by the 80, 900 who got in con the
ground hoor," among whom, of course,
were the officers and those whom they were
especially interested In.
There is apparently no limit to human
credulity when the golden mirage of
dollar sends its delusive rays to The eye of
hope. The avidity with which people
hasten to be swindled justifss the remark
of Butler that
Doubtless the pleasure is as great
In being cheated as to cheat"

ADAM WAS OVERLOoKED

The liberality displayed by the man
ayers Of the worlds fair towards the di-
verse and sundry individuals who have
contributed in marked degree to the
progress of the human race has been
worthy OF the highest commendatIon
Every state and territory in the Union,
every nation and every principality IN
the universe, every industry and art
and science has had a day set apart for
Its own Qualification. The memory of
Robert Fulton, the father of steam
navigation, has been honored; the piS-
catorlal achievements of lZaak Walton
were concentrated: Lief Erickson
had bout with fame under the cano-
pies of jackson Park; Queen Isabella
and Martha and Mary Washington have
each had their praises sung by fair
women and brave men, and Christopher
Columbus himself is to be remembered
especially on the last day of the fair.
But one man has been oVerlo0ked-a
man to whom the human race owes
more than to Columbus, to Erickson. to
Washington or to Fulton. That man
is Adam. Adam was one of the old
Settlers-the oldest pioneer of whom
the world has record. He il was who
founded the human race. With the aid
Of his wife Eve he laid the foundations
of the worlds greatness. lie was q
great farmer in his day, and Eve was
the first seamstresS in the wOrld-the
woman who first taught the fashion in
dress, and whose deft fingers wove the
first garment with which human be-
ing was clothed. To be sure, Adam
had his faults, and so had Eve. They
were human, and erred, as nearly all of
their children have erred since their
time. They were, perhaps. little too
fond of fruit diet, and Dartook of an
apple lunch whose mortal taste
brought death into the world, and
all our woes" and yet they are
not deserving of our eternal con-
domination. They certainly commit
ted no offense SO great as to excuse
the worlds fair directors for ignoring
them altogether. Others nave been as
frail as they, but minor weaknesses
have not been permitted to dim the lus
ter of their fame. "a
The GLOBE submits that a great in
justice has been done to Adam. and TO
Eve his wife, by the failure Of the fair
directors to set apart day in their
honor. Such a day would have called
forth hearty recognition. We are all
more or less related to those types of
ancient humanity, and all would have
felt family pride in doing honor to
their memories. We would have over
looked on such an occasion the frallties
of our first parents, and endeavored TO
condone their offenSe.
1t Is too late now to remedy the mis-
take of the fair management. The hint
should be taken by those who have in
contemplation the worlds exposition of
1900 - Brother TaImage and others.
They should see to it that Adam gets
justice, and that Eve and all her daugh-
tiers are allowed to share III the honors
that, although tardily bestowed. are
none the less merited.
