Waller Declines.

New London, Oct. 15.-Hon. Thomas M. Waller, who was to-day nominated as the candidate for congress by the democrats from the Third congressional district, tonight sent telegram to the chairman of the congressional delega- tion, R. P. Freeman of Norwich, declin- ing the nomination. Governor Waller said that his partnership agreement prohibited him from accepting and po- litical office or endorsing notes. He said that he would sacrifice himself for the party, but positively could not accept a congressional nomination. Another convention would be called, and it is probable that the Hon. James P. Colt of Norwich, who was first spoken of as the congressional candidate, will be nom- mated.

uPPED BY POLICE.
,ckclycy Ends an Intcrcstin. .i'ut at Coney Island.


i'ui at Coney Island.
 Con- Island. Oct. l5-The Atlantic Athletic club gave It's first fistic car nival tonight in the old Sea Beach Palace, which was converted into d boxing arena. About 1000 people were present. The first bout was between Tim Murphy of New York. and Jerry Sullivan of Brooklyn. The lads weighed in at l15 pounds. The police stopped the fight in the fourth round, when blood began to flow freely from Sulli- vans nose. Murphy was declared the winner
 The next event was an eight-round bout between Billy Ernest of Brooklyn, and Jim Holmes of New York. at l3S pounds. Holmes injured his wrist in the fifth, and being unable to continue the bout was given to Ernest.
 The final bout was the event of the evening. The contestants were Austin Gibbons of Paterson, N. J., and Joe Walcott, colored of Boston. The men fought at l4S pounds. Walcott was looked after by Tom O'Rourlse and Jack Fogarty, while the seconds of Gibbons were his two brothers, Jim and Rich ard, Charley Norton, Con Riordan and John Kirwin.
 After the contestants had appeared Griffo. got into the ring fiand offered to meet any 133 pound man in America ORourke took 1t up, but Inspector Me Kelvey ordered the men off the stage and it was all the management could do to square matters.
 In the first round Walcott landed heavily with his left. Gibbons made several wild swings, but failed to land. Walcott fought him all over the ring Gibbons blows appeared to have no force. The round ended in Walcott's favor. In the second round Walcott forced the fighting and landed many telling blows. Gibbons was clever, but seemed to have but little steam to his blows. He fought well, but the colored man seemed to have a shade the better of the round.
 In the third round Gibbons sent hot one on Walcottt's wind but got several swingers in return. Gibbons uppercut Walcott several times, but the colored man fought back gamely, landed three terrific blows in Gibbons wind and sent him down with a heavy right handler. Gibbons was almost out and only the call of time saved him from defeat. Gibbons was bleeding from the ear at the call of time.
 Walcott went at Gibbons in the fourth | round, like pile-driver, landing his | left on Gibbons ribs and neck in rapid | succession. Gibbons kept growing weaker all the time until Walcott, see. ing his chance, landed his right with | terrific force and sent Gibbons to the floor like a log. He was picked up and carried to his corner, but he was still so stupid that he did not know | where he was. This ended the bout, as Inspector McKelvey said:
 "The show is over"
 The fourth round was not more than half over, but Gibbons could not have responded in ten seconds had the bout been allowed to go to finish. It was a clean knockout.
 Griffo then declared himself to the press, saying that he would fight Wal colt, McAuliffe or any other man in America ten rounds for $5,OOO a side. No one paid any attention to him.

The New Skirts. FE,1,r uornor'c povar

From HarpefS BaZar.l
 The variety in new gowns, and also much of their chic, lie in the skirt. No one style is preferred above all others. There are seldom two skirts precisely alike, yet all are very plain. All are made full at the foot and scant at the top, but they are of most various widths. Each famous Paris house has its neighbors in many ways, particular ly in the number of breadths and in the way of supporting them, whether by steels hair-cloth, canvas or crinoline, or by emitting all interlining in favor of very soft folds. New fabrics require different treatment, and the cut varies as the skirts are meant for the house or the street, for driving or walking, for general use or for dress or evening wear. There are skirts appropriate for the short or the tall, the stout or the slender figure, and thus something, sat isfactory to all tastes is found, and there is fair promise of much individu- ality in dress when the new gowns are worn.
 The lining of taffeta or of percaline is first fitted on the wearer, and with as much care as is waist lining. If darts are necessary to fit the hips they are now often in the lining only. All the breadths of the lining are sewed togeth- CT and ecru canvas or gray hair-cloth is pasted smoothly on the seamy side, extending to the top of the four back breadths, and about ten inches deep across the front and sides. The woolen outside breadths having been sewed to- gether, the skirt and its lining are joined by seam around the foot, then turned with all seams inside, and tackled occasionally in the seams with blind stitches. When a bias seam comes directly down the middle of the back it is sometimes thought best to sew the outside and lining together down this seam, pressing it open f1atly and binding each edge. This, however, Is more seldom done at present than formerly A wide wool braid is skirt next the lining, or else an inch- wide bias band of velveteen covers the seam and protects the edge by extend- ing slightly below it. There is a ten dency to do away with the balayeuse CT dust ruffle on street gowns, as the silk of which 1t Is made soon wears shabby and must be often renewed. The flat belt should be of cilk belting an inch wide, stitched on silk lining. A single rubber strap, or else strong ribbon, is placed quite high across the godet folds to hold the curves in shape, and it is said a wire Is to cross near the pleated top of these folds to make them project slightly. ... .,f@

MIR. MORTON MAY FIGHT

His Imported Coachman Has Been Trans-
 ferrf d to the Commissioner.
 New York, Oct. 15.-This afternoon John James Howard, Levi P. Morton's imported coachman, was transferred from Inspector Dodge's care to that of Commissioner senner. No application for writ of habeas corpus had been made up to o'clock this afternoon. and unless it is tomorrow, or early Wednesday morning, Howard will sure ly go back to England on the steamship Paris, which sails Wednesday morning at II o'clock.
 It is generally expected that Mir. Nor ton will apply through his lawyer for a writ of habeas corpus and then fight the case. Inspector Dodge admitted to-day that Howard had washed dishes in MT. Morton's kitchen, which is a strong point in the argument that Howard was a domestic servant, and therefore did not come within the provisions of the alien contract labor law. ..''aA-

Ben Butler and His Dog.

Ben Butler formerly owned large
mastiff who became famous for con-
tinued depredations on various butch
er carts as they passed through the
streets of Lowell on their morning
rounds. The dog was so ferocious
that none dared attack it; SO, for a
time, he was quite master of the situa-
ton. Finally one victim decided to
approach the general on the subject;
so, one morning, accosting him on the
street, he said; General Butler, if
a mans dog steals meat from my
butcher cart, what would you do:;
"Why," said the lawyer, Il should
make him pay for it, Very we'll, ="
continued the butcher. ''your dog has
stolen two dollars worth of meat from
my cart, and want you topay for it. :"
Certainly" said General Butler:
''but shall have to charge you five
dollars for professional advice" 1t
is said the case was not pressed.

AN ECLIPSE PHOTOGRAPH.
A Cometary Structure Clearly lndi-
Gated in the Corona.

4 Cometary Structure Clearly lndi-
Gated in the Corona.
Prof. Schaeberle stated year ago
that the eclipse photographs taken by
him in Chill, in April, 1893, showed a
comet-like structure in the corona near
the suns south pole An examination
of the photographs taken by the Brit
ish observers in Africa and Brazilwas
made, but no traces of cometary mat
ter could befound on any part of them.
Profs. Schaeberle and Holden, how
ever, were confident that a comet was
photographed upon the corona of the
1893 eclipse, and they accordingly sent
copies from negatives obtained at
Chill, Brazil and Africa to w. H.
Wesley.
The latter having examined the pho
tographs, announces that they clearly
indicate a cometary structure in the
corona. The object extremely faint,
and appears like forked coronal ray.
BY measuring the angular distance of
the object from the moons limb on the
photographs taken at the different
eclipse stations, Mr.. Wesley finds
these measurements place the nature
of Prof. Schaeberle's interesting dis
covery beyond doubt. bt.-Observatory.

Newspapers in school.

The tendency of late years has been
to enlarge the curriculum of the com.
mon schools, by adding other branches
of instruction. This has been carried
so far, in some instances, as to over.
| load the schools, and in some cases
notably in Chicago-a reverse move
ment has begun, and the course OF
study is being cut down somewhat.
Without discussing what branches
should be added to or be taken away
| from the curriculum in the grades
below the high school, there is one
thing that should not be neglected.
That is, to put the pupils in touch
with current history-with the events
OF the day. Many pupil can tell
you far more about the Pilgrims land
ing at Plymouth, Or the battle OF
yorktown, than he can of the Korean
war, or the Wilson tariff bill, or the
Turkish butcheries in Armenia. Why
are not the great events of to-day-the
things which go tomake up theworld IS
history-quite as worthy of attention
as events occurring a century ago?
Probably one obstacle in the way is
the fact that too many teachers are not
regular and careful readers of daily
paper, and hence are themselves ignor-
ant of current history. This is a mat
ter easily mended, however, by getting
progressive teachers instead of these
fossilized beings. There is every rea-
son why children should early be
taught the value of systematic news
paper reading, and the habit instilled
into them. The newspaper stands for
life, for progress, for all the world g
varied interests.
Some narrow-minded parents en-
deavor to discourage children from
newspaper reading, on the plea that
they thus become acquainted with
crimes and similar events of which
they should know nothing. This plea
is not sound. Parents who will have
to trust their children out in the world
need not fear to trust them to the
newspapers. They will find that chill
dren will soon learn to discriminate,
and to pay no undue attention to
criminal matters. They readily see
that they are not matters of real his
tory, or concerned in the worlds pro-
gress. 1t is no more demoralizing, or
distracting, to know what is going on
in the world than to know what is
going on in a neighborhood, for gos
sip and scandal are worse than wars
and murders and the other great
crimes which newspapers chronicle in
eXtensO.

Plea for a Respectable Heroine.

The real modern woman is not the
woman of the modern novel. There
seems to be an increasing tendency on
the part of present day novelists and
dramatists to portray women who have
"past, " as if the readers or specta-
tors interest could only be held by
such theme. If the heroine of the
typical modern story is not woman
OF this sort, she is too frequently
drawn as an unnatural and impossible
creature-like "Dodo" for example
who is nothing more than a travesty
on the modern society woman. An
gelica, in "The Heavenly Twins;
Gwen, in ''The Yellow Aster," and
Nora, in Ibsen's doll House." are
all abnormal types, whose hectic lives
are fortunately not reflected in the
lives of modern womanhood; for the
modern woman is, on the whole, a
very well-balanced, healthful individu-
al, who thinks sensibly and lives
sanely, and who, when she does un-
usual things, does them not to call at
tention to herself, but in the interest
of some good cause for which she is
working.
Theheroines of Walter Scott, of Jane
Austen and George Eliot are sometimes
called ''old-fashioned," because they
live their lives for the most part in
obscurity, and know only simple
round of duty and pleasure. But,
after all, they are far better types of
actual womanhood than the modern
novels heorine; for they have the es-
sential characteristics of womanliness
-modesty. kindness and common
sense. If there be difference it is
only the superficial one of opportunity
and environment. The woman of in
telligence and noble character interests
us in real life. Let us have more por-
traits of her in ourtales and our plays,
that the generations to come may judge
rightly of later nineteenth century
womanhood.

Wearing of Glass Eyes.

1t is fallacy to suppose that people
who wear cork legs and glass eyes are
Indifferent TO their personal appear
ance. They are often vainer than
ordinary individuals.
A rich man, for instance, who is
obliged to wear an artificial eye will
wear three different eyes every day
an eye for morning, when the pupil is
not very large; an eye for afternoon,
when the pupil is smaller: an eye for
evening, when the pupil has extended
to its full size.
A London eyemaker, who gave this
information, said he made about an
equal proportion of glass eyes for men
and women. Some people keep quite
a stock in their possession-in fact,
no less than twelve eyes have been
made by my informant for one gentle
man within the last three months.
His son had got one eye made from
measurement, and that eye fitted SO
perfectly that the old gentleman, in an
outburst of gratitude, wrote off for
eleven other eyes. The eyemakeraad-
miIted that this was an exceptional
instance. Pitts burg Dispatch.
