proach, men who are alive to every thing where or when there is good time going on. and are ready. forty five good men. to do fire duty when called upon. Now. Il seems as though it was going a little too far to attempt to make this company of good men, who stand ready at all times to do all In their power, should occasion require it-I say 1t Is wrong to try and break up this company in order to make them relinquish the name they think so much of. and to adopt the name of company that has always been op- posed to them because they are young men and full of life, and are right up 10 the times. There Is, l understand, no better or more perfectly organized company in this state. There should be no spirit shown in this matter. It seems by common report that the chief Of the department. MT. D. B. Connell, Is very bitter against Mir Dayton, ex- chief, and is trying to have the name changed to spite Mir. Dayton. This Is all wrong. When MT. Connell can, by his kind acts to the members of the fire department, win the same respect that they bear towards MT. Dayton. then It will do to change the name of the com pany. But how can we expect the com pany to be willing to dispense with the complete uniform bearing this name and the money that they expended to procure the same? But this is only secondary. They think too much of their organization to think of such thing. Now, does the board under stand how our fire department is rated by the board of insurance commission CTS? Cannot they readily see that as soon as the board of underwriters un- derstands that the department Is weak ened by the loss of fifty of Its best and most active men, leaving, as I am in- formed, but one hose company with a membership of only ten or twelve act i've members. and this to constitute the fire department of this part of the town. I say can you not readily see that the rates of insurance will be much higher? It Is a fact, most assuredly, the better your fire protection the less will be your insurance rates.
 Now, think the best thing the board can do Is to say to the boys, go on as you have. Keep up your company's good name. Stand ready to do your duty and we will stand by you. And we are satisfied that the board will have the satisfaction of knowing that 1t has done its duty towards these men who so willingly stand ready to sacri- flee health. comfort and even life if necessary for the good of the borough and the people.

chief clerk. Michael J. Wise. ex-couneil- man in Hartford, has been in the office eight years. The assistant adjutant- general. Colonel John c. Healey. is a staff appointment. This Is also true of the assistant quartermaster. Everett | l.. Morse of Hartford. Both of these | gentlemen hold places on the stan of Governor Morris. not by direct appoint ment, however, but as 1t were by cus- | tom and courtesy. The places are con- sdered to be stan appointments in the state, They will. of course. be changed when the new administration comes fin. The candidate for assistant quarter master-general now in the field with the strongest backing is Lieutenant | Colonel Henry c. Morgan of Colchester. | He has held the position under differ | ent republican quartermaster generals, the last four years of his occupancy being under General William R. Rudd of Lakevllle. No names have come to the front up to the present time with marked prominence for the quartermas- ter-generalship.T There are several names on the tongues of the ofiice-makers at
 
 military appointments to be made by the new governor. The adjutant-gener- alship Is the best and most authora- tive of the positions in the governor 8 military family. The names that are talked about for the place are Colonel Charles l.. Upham of Meriden, Major John c. Broatch and General Charles E. Graham of Middletown and George E. Albee of New Haven. Lieutenant Albee was decorated as an Indian fight CT some years ago.
 Major John c. Broatch has been de- partment commander. and Is a prom inent member of the Fourteenth Con- necticut.
 General Graham has been at the head of the Connecticut National Guard. Colonel Charles Upham of Meriden is the ideal veteran. He was one of Con- necticut's bravest officers In the field. He commanded the Sixteenth Connecti- cut at Fredericksburg. and was after wards made colonel of the Fifteenth Connecticut. He is successful busi- ness man in Meriden and is universally honored by the veterans of Connecti- cut. It is believed at the present time that Colonel Upham has the best chanc- es for the appointment.
 The treasury clerkships are occupied by Samuel N. Raymond, chief clerk; Frank E. Soule and Charles F. Sum- mer, jr., assistants. Mir. Raymond, who Is democrat, was made chief clerk, two years ago. succeeding Clerk Will Hams, a republican.

A white dress whose folds respond to glinting of silver spangies is that shown in to-days picture. Of crepe, it's skirt has a wide and stiff white silk foundation over which the crepe is draped. The blouse waist has a deep yoke of white mousseline de soie with draped collar to match, and the garni- ture consists of bertha of white tulle lace with large white satin bows on the shoulders. Folded white satin is en- ployed for the belt, and the elbow sleeves are of plain unlned crepe with lace epaulettes.
 A wardrobe for young woman en- tirely of black and white gowns and wraps seems an odd idea, but it pos sesses some advantages, as will be seen from this outline of an actual outfit of the sort. For house dressing and balls white was the color. The magnificent opera wrap was ermine lined with ivo- ry satin, the street coat was black vel vet interlined and faced throughout with black satin. There were cloth and velvet gowns for the street, but all were black, and the same was true of carriage wear.The wardrobe included brocade, satin, velvet and chiffon for ball and reception use, and black or white is the ipvariable color. The own- CT is always beautifully dressed, and it is asserted that she does 1t on about half the money it costs girls who go in for colors and novelties.

CONCENTRATIONS.

Tho Fire Department of the Borough of
 Fair Haven.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER.
 I desire. through your esteemed and Fair Haven's favorite newspaper, to say a few words to the Board of Bur- gesses in reference to the Fire depart ment of the borough of Fair Haven, and as I shall state facts trust that each of the members of said board will look upon what have to say and. req sonably govern themselves according ly.
 Having heard so much talk of late of what the board will do and how it will do it, have taken pains to prop erly and thoroughly investigate the matter, and I have come to this con- clusion. that the few. are trying, and in fact have always been trying, to run the many. As find out, there are two companies in the borough, namely, the old Quinnipiac Hose company and the Dayton Hook and Ladder company. It seems that the Hook and Ladder company is 8 reorganized. company from the original Quinnipiac Engine company. They named the! company after its organization in honor of MT. J. J, Dayton. one whom all the men think a great deal of, and they are very unwilling to give up the name and adopt the name of Quinnip piac.4 am informed that the. Hook and Ladder company is' composed Of young men, men whose charactera arc V ahoxe : e.

Georgia has been given by Major J, M. c, Black. member of congress from the Augusta district. In the recent elec- ton, as in that of 1892. he was the Democratic candidate against Hon. Tom Watson. the populist. Watson claimed to have been counted out In 1892. as probably he was; and this year he has rot only repeated the charge. but has. or thinks he has. overwhelm- ing evidence to sustain 1t. The feeling Of his constituents is so strong that. fearing a violent outbreak as a result. he addressed a letter to Major Black pleading with him to allay the public excitement by having the question sub mitted to a commission. and promising that if 1t decided against him he would not again be candidate. Major Black. after a few days consideration, replied that when his present term expired. March 1. next year. he would then re- sign as for his new term, and would again appeal to the people as against Watson. He said he was unwilling to occupy a seat to which he had not been honestly elected, and that he had not countenanced or been cognizant of the alleged frauds.
 There is reason for general encour- agement when Georgia Democrats de- mand a fair count in elections and when Connecticut Republicans and Democrats oppose the wicked use Of money in elections.

ENCOURAGING.
deeds?

When Georgia Democrats want fair elections there is reason to believe that a great change has taken place in that State. In his farewell address to the legislature Governor Northen spoke very strongly on the subject and many of the newspapers of the State are fol- lowing his example. Thus the Macon Telegraph says: There is no longer ex- cuse or palliation for acts which twen- ty-five years ago would have been jus tified by the desperate circumstances in which the white people of this coun- try found themselves. It is now just as necessary for the good of the coun- try that these abuses shall be done away with. Such practices degrade our institutions in the eyes of good men. They make 1t impossible for the best citizens to take part in public af- fairs. In corrupting the government respect Of citizens to a large degree it also deprives them of their loyalty The present legislature ought not to adjourn until it has passed a ballot law which will raise the standard of citizenship and insure fair elections. If it fails to do this it will be generally understood that the men who make LID the legislature sympathize with the methods which are bringing our insti- tutions into contempt.

As we expected would be the case some whits ltvered and puslllanimous persons are dcclaiming against the bru- tallty of Saturdays football game. What would they? Do they not know that Sparta's strength was due to her training of her young men In such d way that neither the sight of others blood or their own made them quake Do they not knog that Rome was built up on just such qualities as those dis played by the heroio American youth who rushed over tho plain at Spring field and tackled each other regardless of wounds and death so long as they saved honor nd made the goai% And there were noble parents al Springfield, too. even ss lhete wers in Sparta and Rome. It was sweet and fitting to die for ones country In the brave days of old, and thoso who took the chances of such death had great encouragement from those who didn't. Remember rhe to come home from the fight with his shield or on it, and remember the Roman mothers who were equally am bilious for their brave boys. Such fa- thers and mothers were at the great football fight, and one of the fathers was heard to congratulate himself on the fact that if his boy got broken his father had money enough to pay for get ting him repaired. Contrast this will ingness to pay for costly yet honorable and desirable glory With the weak spirit of that Connecticut mother who bounced onto the football field the other day when the fierce struggle was at its height and seizing her son by the ear led him therefrom in shame and sorrow. Would it not have been nobler in her to come to that field with coffin and wait quietly until the contest should show whether it would or would not be needed for her boy? We consider this suggestion so good that we hope that at the next fierce football brawl some mother will show the stuff she is made of by doing that very thing. The mother who does it will have as much fame as any Spartan or Roman mother has had and she will show that Woman has lost none of the gentleness that used to be hers when she did her part in making Spartan children or turned her thumbs down in the Roman arenas.
 Let us hear no more of these puny protests against manly and noble foot ball warfare. Of what account are a few broken legs, arms, necks, backs or heads compared with the cultivation of the warJike spirit and the setting of examples of bravery and conquest ? Didn't Sparta and Rome make fame and money by being able to kick the stuffing out of their opponents2 And will jt not pay the United States of America to have several football teams that are ready to die if need be for the honor of their schools and set examples that shall excite others to equally heroic deeds?

Prince Victor Napoleon is the de- fendant in a strange lawsuit before a Paris court. h 1889 his father, Prince UeroEie Bonaparte, was crossing from Ostend to Dover on the Comtesse de Fland-e, when she was run into by the Princesse He1riette. After the colli- sion tine prince sent his valet. who had been with him more than thirty years, into the cabin 10 fetch some of his property, when the steamers boiler cx- ploded and the valet was mortally wounded His son brought a suit against the prince on the ground that 1t was by his order that his father had gone into the place where he was !n- jured, and after Jerome's death his son inherited the lawsuit. Prince Victor cannot appear in person before the judges, as, being a claimant to the throne, he is forbidden to enter French territory.

The class of '97 of the Jefferson Medic al college, Philadelphia, have decided to use the metric system in writing their prescriptions when they are graduated. This action will no doubt be handed down from class to class, as it is the first step made in this country by a medical college. It is contended that at the present time all kinds of weights and measures are used by the drug gists and pharmacists, thus leading to confusion between the doctor and the druggist The United States Pharmaco- poeia of 1890 pronounced in favor of the metric system, yet it is only by con- certed action on the part of the doctors and the pharmacists that it will be brought into general use.
