 Notice was posted in the office of the street railway company to-day to the effect that after Sunday, November 19, the wages of all employees would be reduced twenty five cents per day.

MUSTER AND INSPECTION.
Local Companies of the National Guard
 Racatra q Gnnh Rating iL

Local Companies of the National Guard
 Receive Good Rating.
 The local military boys, with one excep- ton, were grateful to Major AIbee of New Haven last night, for the quickness with which the muster and inspection was carried out. Promptly at o'clock Co A lined up first for inspection and muster Sixty-six men answered the muster roll. Of these Corporal Thomas Chadwick came from New Haven to fill up the ranks. The two absentees were Sergeant Boden, who is in Buffalo, and Private Miller, on the sick list. The inspection was very creditable one and received praise from the inspecting officers, Major Albee and and Adjutant Wells, in tull dress uniform. and Lieutenant Colonel Burpee and Major Dickinson in civilian dress.
 Co G came next for inspection, and as the men lined up Major Albee was heard to exclaim: "A fine looking company. He also expressed himself gratifed at the quickness of the company. Sixty-four men answered the roll. The absentees were. Corporal J. Sullivan, on the sick list, Private Cronan, in Baltimore, Private O'Neill in New York and Private Egan in Torrington. Following inspection of com panies came inspection of knapsaeks. It is done much differently than under the old rules. There is no unslinging or sling ing before inspection. The knapsacks are arranged along the walls and each man takes his position behind his own. The marking was as follows: Discipline and in- struction, very good; appearance, excel lent
 The one man who probably was not pleased at the inspection was Corporal T. F. Lawlor of Co G, who carried two heavy window weights around in his knnpsack.
 After the drill the aid association met and appointed the following sick com mittee: Corporals Sullivan and Garde and Private Cruise of Go G, Sergeant Claxton and Corporal Baker of Co A.

THE PROPER cAPER.

Many of the new costumes show the pointed apron overskirt.
 Fancy woven moose cloth comes up among the handsome novelties in winter dress fabrics.
 The modish coat must show a very full basque, extra full accommodating sleeves and the inevitable shoulder capes or flaring bretelle effects.
 Heavy woolen dress materials having a chine or clouded ground, with bright dashes of color here and there, are made up with moire bodice trimmings the shade of the gay color
 Cloth and velvet are chiefly employed by coatmakers. Some of the new double breasted coats are lined with plaid, but a self color or shot material is preferable This, however, is a matter of taste.
 Brown is apparently the favorite color for outdoor coverings. A large majority of the newest coats are in some shade of brown, ranging from the darkest seal dyes to the lightest tan leather and chestnut shades.
 Among cold weather garments are new skirts of fine felt in different colors, elab- orately braided around the bottom with soutache a shade darker, or in black. Mo rCen skirts, flannel lined, are both neat and serviceable.
 The basque bodice has evidently come to stay all winter at least. It appears in va rious shapes, sometimes deep enough to form a Russian overskirt, in medium widths and variously shaped, and again only few inches in depth.-New York Post

THERE WAS NO BITING.
Captain Mackey Makes Some Remarks Ol
 the Football Game.


 PHILADELPHIA, Nov l5.-Harry A Mack ey, captain of the Pennsylvania football team was very indignant after reading the stories put in circulation by Yale men &C., cusing his team of roughness and brutal ity in the recent game at Manhattan field, New York. He laughed at the story of Butterworth's bite" and said it had no foundation in fact. It would take an ogre to bite through a canvas jacket, sweater and an undershirt.
 When asked about the treatment his own men had received, he said they had no com plaint to make. He himself had bad con tusion of the eye from a blow of Mur- phys fist. Every one on the field saw Hinkey strike knipe with no provocation from the latter except that he had made a touchdown. The same Yale player jumped with his knees on Osgood's neck after the latter had called down" McCrea repeat edly struck Wharton about the face and head and pulled off deliberately the pro tecting bandage from his swollen and in famed ear, although doing so caused agonizing pain, but the Pennsylvania team accepted those occurrences as unpleasant incidents of an exciting game and had no wish to dwell upon them or ask for sym pathy.
 He added that even the most scientific football was not a game for nurslings and that men who had to make such a parade of minor injuries after each contest ought to take up crochet or battledoor and shut tlecock and drop football.

Exercises in Honor of the Feast Day of
 the Mother Superior.
 Yesterday was gala day at the convent of Notre Dame. being the feast day of Rev Mother St Stanislaus. In the afternoon the pupits presented scenes from the life of the saint in pantomime to sacred music and the pupils of each department ex- pressed their compliments to the mother superior in neat addresses. In the even ing the claas of '94 entertained the mem- bers of the Alumnae association with an address of welcome to their Alma Mater, |" violin and piano duets. solos, choruses, recitationS and an elaborate collation. which was served in the large dining hall. The hall was beautifully decorated with potted plants and red, white and blue bunting. A picture of Columbus and a scroll, bearing the inscription ''Welcome to the Alumnae," were quite prominent. One of the most pleasing features of the evening was the reading of an original and very witty poem written for the occasion by Miss Minnie O'Connor, class of '93. The exercises closed with an address by the president, wishing Rev Mother St Stanislaus many joyous returns of her feast day, and expressing the thanks of the association to the madames and to the class of '94 for their charming hospitality which was most thoroughly enjoyed by every member present. Owing to the burning of the mother house at Montreal last May the Alumnae held no annual meeting last June. sending instead dona- ton to the nuns The election of officers was also deferred until last night when at the business meeting which preceded the reception the following otfiders were elected: President Miss NJ. Holohan; vice presidents, Miss Cass. Waterbury. Mrs John Sweeney. Naugatuck. Miss Coughlan, Brooklyn, \. Y. and Miss Smith, New Hartford; secretary, Miss Hen drick; treasurer, Miss Charters; advisory board. Mrs J. F. Hayes and Miss Bowen.

Innks Like NInrher

NEW HAVEN, Nov 15.-The case of the woman who was found dead in an area at the house of James H. Ford of Trumbull street last night. is beginning to look like murder. The body now lies at the under taking establishment of Cox & HenZe for identification. The undertaken in charge gives it as his opinion that the horrible gash in the woman's head was made pre- vious to her death. There was no blood on the wound when the body reached the undertaker's, and if the wound had been made by fall. as was at first thought, blood would have been flowing. Agent Preston of the organized charities is of the opinion that the body is that of laun- dress who has worked for him of and on.
 THE BODY IDENTIFIED.
 The body was identified this afternoon as that of Mrs Bridget Smith, wife of Richard Smith, longshoreman residing on Hamilton street,

 A day or two ago a well-dressed man. past middle age giving his name as F. C. Hart entered W. J. Schlegel's office and inquired for nice rent. He represented that he was an assistant roadmaster on the Berkshire division of the Consolidated road and that he had been transferred by Mir Platt to the northern end of the Naugatuck road with headquarters in Waterbury. tenement on West Clay street was selected The man then went to Barlow Brothers store on Grand street and told a similar story, made purchase of some stoves which he ordered sent to the number on West Clay street. and gave a check for something more than S3O over the amount of the bill. Mir Peck of the firms office was present and told the man that they were not in the habit of taking strangers checks, but that he would go with him and telephone to the Collinsville bank on which the check was drawn. The stranger declined, saying he was going back to CollinSville and would himself get the money remarking that they might let the goods remain in the store until his return. He has not been seen since and has ev- idently cleared out of town. This same kind of game has been worked in New Milford and couple of other towns on the Berkshire division, but there the man gave the name of Scott and said he came from the Naugatuck road.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
An Outlet to the West For the New NorL
 X New England.

X New England.
 President Fowler of the New York, On tario tS Western railroad, said yesterday I've have made an arrangement with the New York X New England railroad on coal traffic. It will amount to 800, 900 tons year. We will also take business offered by the New England. We can give it all the facilities offered by any other road We will work by way of Buffalo and the Grand Trunk. I anticipate that this busi- ness will be large. I wish to emphatically deny that we are unfriendly to New Eng land or that We entered into a combination with other roads to shut New England out of the coal territory or western traffic.
 This arrangement will give the New England road the outlet to the west which it has been striving to obtain, and it will also enable the New England to take part in the distribution of coal throughout the New England territory. The New Eng land will make its connection with the On tlrio, Carbondale t Scranton railway, one of its leased lines. This coal it will be able to throw into the hands of the New England if the alliance continues"

One little crow to President Cleveland and and his congress. If you will tell the na- ton that the Mckinley bill will not be all tered, Kellys will give you a guarantee that within sixty days every factory in the country will be running on full time. be cause it is evident that it is the fear of tar if reform and not the silver dollar that the manufacturers are afraid of.
