Fortunate Association-It Has 62OO to
 Its Credit in the Bank.
 Notices were placed in the desks yes terday morning announcing that the Alpha Delta Sigma society would give an entertainment January IS for the benefit of the Hillhouse High School Athletic association. The various clubs of the school will participate, includ- ing the banjo, glee, orchestra and the young ladies' banjo clubs. The CO., operation of the school is asked to make the affair a successful one.
 At the next athletic meeting of the school inquiries will be made concern ing the amount of money which was taken in at the .Hillhouse- Hartford football game in '91. It will be remem- bered that when the next to the last football game with Hartford was held at Yale field during the season of '91, some $2OO was taken in at the gate. The money was placed in a bank at the time and an advisory committee elected to look after it. The commit tee consisted of Sanford, Holcomb and Joslin. An effort will be made to have the money turned over to the school association and to be used whenever 1t becomes advisable. There are only a few in school now who remember the circumstances of getting the sum of money and it will be big surprise to most the members of the association to find themselves richer by $200.

The Arrest of MT. Olney.

Yesterdays Hartford Courant re- marks on the arrest of Commissioner Olney:
 Tt Is somewhat suggestive that yes- terday Judge Wheeler, a democrat, at request of State Attorney Hunter, a democrat, on information furnished by Comptroller Staub, 8 democrat, issued bench warrant for the arrest of Com missioner Olney, and the news of, this was published as an exclusive that same afternoon by the Hartford Times which is, also a democrat. It would have looked little better to call in some republican assistance. some where, if any was available. It has been charged from the beginning that certain democrats, incensed at having MT. Olney, the single republican de- pertinent head, left in the state house, were bound to get him out. and that the attacks have had partisan basis. MT. Olney's denial of the charges, was published not long ago in The Cour- ant and was explicit and emphatic. It is mortifying to a. man of his years and standing to be put under arrest, but at least this action gives him a chance to prove the falsity of the charges against him. It shifts the thing from vague rumors into the region of fact. Now MT. Staub must put up or shut up.' IT ia cheaney for Mir Olney than for him to bring libel suit.

Dangers of Pearl Gatherin0.

The islands of Cubagua and Marear. ta were the principal seats of the pearl fishery, which was also carried on ex- tensively in the Gulf of Paria itself, on the coats of Cumana. The deep-water fishery-that is to say, the fishery in about twelve fathoms-is conducted now pretty much as 1t was in Colum- bus time. Men accustomed from their infancy to an amphibious sort of life, and trained to be expert divers, are engaged at the work. and go down naked into the sea in order to pick up the marvellous pearl-breeders which lie at the bottom. In Ceylon the pearl- fishers go out iI company in their boats. Each boat carries twenty men, of whom ten are rowers and ten di- verS The divers go down to a depth of from four to ten fathoms. To assist them in their descent they use a large stone of red granite, having the small CT end bored so as to admit & rope which is rove through 1t. When about to dive the diver seizes this rope with the toes of his right foot, and with the left foot secures network bag for his oysters. He then takes hold of an- other rope with his hands and is let down from the boat to bis diving ground, the stone Helping to sink him. When at the bottom he casts himself loose from the stone, picks up his oys- ters, and when ready to return jerks up the rope by which he was let down, and he is then hauled up, leaving the stone to be recovered by it's own rope.
 The chief danger the divers have to encounter, after the preliminary physi- cal difficulties attendant upon diving and working at sor great a depth have been got over, is from ground-sharks
 The divers in the Persian Gulf are wont to resort to magic and to reli- gious entertainments in the hope of guarding against these horrible crea- lures; but as an additional and more effectual precaution they are armed with a short stick, pointed at either end, which they thrust into the sharks mouth, they themselves getting away while the monster is engaged in fret ting over his uncomfortable meal. A story is related of one diver who, hav- ing explored a rock on which he ex- pected to find oysters, was about to re- turn to the surface of the water, when, casting hds eyes upward, he saw a huge ground-shark lying in wait for him, and cutting off his. retreat. Terrified at the sight, and unable to get out of range, he was beginning to give him. self up for lost, when a happy thought occurred to him. He took i1ds sharp ened stake, which was too small to stop the jaws of the shark. and going
