The Lewis Memo riai-A Suggestion.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL and COURIER.
 In the controversy over a. location for the memorial bust of Mayor Lewis 1t appears that no suitable site has been suggested except the steps of the county court house. This site seems to have been selected in preference to the front of the City Hall because the court house entrance consists of two archways with a central pier between them where the monument can stand. while the City Hall entrance is of three archways and of course has no central pier. so that the monument could only be placed on one side of the principal doorway. It is agreed on all hands that the City Hall front Is the most appropriate place but for this objection. l would suggest a simple way out of the difficulty. Let the Lewis memo rial be placed on the City Hall steps on one side of the central arch. and on the other side let there be placed a similar memorial bust of Roger Sher- man, the first mayor of New Haven One of these monuments would then commemorate a mayor of historic fame, not merely as the first chief magistrate of the city, but as one of its most cele- brated and honored citizens; the other that successor whose official career will ever be identified with the first import ant enterprises in municipal improve ment; and the monuments together will form a fine and interesting adorn- ment to the City Hall. Probably the New Haven bar to whose fraternity both of these honored citizens belong ed, would cordially join in movement for procuring a bust of MT. sherman to promote such an arrangement.

REAL MISSIONARY WORK.

Some benevolent English women have done a great work for the women of India since 1885, when what is known as Lady Dufferin's fund was founded. The object of the work is to put the re- sources of modern medical science with in the reach of native women, by train ing women to be nurses and physicians, and establishing hospitals and dispen- saries. During the past year PA women have been studying medicine, through the support Of the fund, and of these 200 are natives of India, 50 being of Eurasian descent, and 153 of purely na- tive races. A report just made express es some disappointment at the slow in- crease in the number of the female medical students from 192 in 1889 to PA now. Female students of the hospi- tai assistant class can be obtained readily from the lower orders in most provinces of India except in the north west and the Punjab. These young women possess respectable primary education, sufficient for the branch of medical duty to which they are des- tined. But much difficulty is experi- enced in inducing native women of the

A Derelict on the Pacific With Sails Set
 and Wheel Lashed

A Derelict on the Pacific With Sails Set
 and Wheel Lashed
 From the Morning Oregonian.]
 "The last we saw of the Lucas she was forging ahead in a northeasterly direction, with the wind dead astern, most Of her sails set, and the wheel firmly lashed. Not a living soul was aboard this craft, which was sailing directly in the way of coast shipping and it is to be hoped she soon went down, for her presence on the ocean was danger that might prove disastrous to some one"
 That was the statement made yester- day by A. McPherson of this city, the only passenger on the steamer Homer on her last trip from San Francisco to Yaquina. Hef says the officers of the Homer expressed great surprise that the captain of the brig did not set fire to her when they left her. The T. w. Lucas was bound from Hoodsport, Wash, to San Francisco, with her hold full of piles. She was abandoned in a leaking condition, but it is possible that she is still afioat. No light was left on the vessel and even the fire in the gal ley stove was carefully smothered, pre- cautions which make the floating derel- jet doubly dangerous.
 It was at 8 o'clock on October "A that we sighted the brig flying distress signal" continued MT. McPherson. There was a pretty heavy sea on, fol- lowing the gale of the night before, but the wind then was light. I was on the upper deck with the mate, who was on duty, the captain being sick below, and he showed me the Lucas off our bow. We steamed up to her and asked the captain of the brig what was want ed. He hoisted a blackboard with the word Leaking chalked on it. After a consultation with our captain, the mate hove the steamer to and Captain Ross of the Lucas asked us to lay by him. This wasn't practicable, so the brigs crew put off in their boats and came aboard. In their excitement they left their clothes and effects aboard their vessel. At that time we were 100 miles from Yaquina and about twenty miles from Port Orford. We could see the brig until about noon, when she disap- peared."

ment that the Princess of Wales and her daughters have taken to riding tri- cycles is expected to give a tremendous boom to that class of cycling machine, which has been in state of decline for several years. Polite society has always professed to regard cycling with scorn as an essentially vulgar and plebeian form of exercise and amuse- ment. The princess having now set the fashion. fashionable danes and their middle-class imitators are bound to fol- low 1t. Much qualification is expressed that the princess did not take to the bicycle and rational dress" the use and abuse of which have brought a great deal of undeserved ridicule upon this form of healthy recreation, to the ben eft solely of the artists and writers of the comic papers. It Is said that the Princess of Wales commenced tricy- cling by the advice of her doctors.

NOT IN TT.

Admonished by the storm raised by missioners in reducing the license fee the commissioners of Fairfield county have refused to lower the fee, and they and their admirers are happy because they have been able to see the point. It is astonishing that when the feeling against the whole system of county commissions had become strong some of them should have added to the feeling by doing such an injudicious thing as to reduce the tax on rumselling and thereby add to the tax on other business. The excuse given has been the hard times, but it Is still said that the real reason was an agreement be- tween certain persons that the license fee should be reduced in return for campaign contributions from liquor sellers. If this was the real reason it is bound to come out sooner or later, and when it does those who made the deal, if there were such deal, will find themselves much disliked.
 We congratulate the Fairfield county commissioners on their ability to see a thing when it is before their eyes. They have acted wisely in refusing to follow the lead of some of the other boards. Their action may not save the system, but it will save them from the charge of showing undue favor to a dangerous business or being participators in an un- holy deal. It is pity that all the New Haven County commissioners didn't re- fuse to fall into the trap set for them Commissioner Dunham did, but he couldn't prevent the foolish action.

AN OBJECT LESSON,

Again we say to those who are about to make nominations for city and town officers, be careful. What can be done has been we'll illustrated in Cincinnati
 On the 9th of November the Republi- cans carried the city by over 22,O0O ma jority. Last week there was an cleo tion of a, judge of the Insolvency court there, and the Democrats won by $500, making a change of more than 25,000 votes in seven days. So the politicians are uncertain whether Cincinnati is a Republican or Democratic city. The truth seems to be that it is neither, and that the voters don't care as much about party as they did. They have ap- parently made up their minds to exer- else free discrimination between the candidates presented to them, and cast their balance of power votes now for one side and now for the other, in &C., COTudLCe Wllu lllelI DeSl dIlu UIlLfdul- melled judgment. The same condition of things exists in New Haven, to some extent at least. Two weeks ago the Democrats of this city expressed their dlsapproval of certain principles and certain candidates in most surprising way. We do not think because they did this that they have joined the Re- publican party for good and all and will hereafter vote cheerfully and steadily for everything and everybody labeled Republican. If the Republicans expect Democratic help next month they must put up candidates that will attract it. If they do not they may be surprised. And if the Democrats put up better candidates than the Republicans do there may be a change as surprising as that in Cincinnati. It is plain that the voters are tired of bosses and rings, and that they have their eyes wide open and their thinking apparatus in good working order. Political mana gers must take their mood into account

Net and Fur Joined Oddly.

Long ago 1t was prophesied by the knowing ones of the changing styles that furs, feathers and laces would be used side by side in adorning winters hats and garments. Promptly follow ing these forecasts came so many ex- amples of this sort of construction that the eye, at first shocked at the unusual ness of the combination, gradually be- came accustomed to 1t. With the more simple forms of 1t accepted as correct, these new acquaintances took on new and strange shapes. No more odd un- ion of them is offered than the short cape sketched here, which is made, for it's upper half, of Venetian guipure

General Neal Dow replies to recent statement of Bishop Medley, Episcopal, of Maine, that prohibition in Maine has proved a failure. The General says that before prohibition was adopted there were thirty-five distilleries and seven breweries in Maine; now there are none. Large quantities of West Indian rum were imported; now none. The streets of Portland were lined with open rum shops Now none are public, and the number of secret places are lessened. The custom of treating used to be common; TOW it is greatly restricted. And, finally, he declares, that the quan- tity of liquor consumed in Maine is vastly less than before the law went into operation.

~>- the wide portion below. The neck is finished with black satin ruching, and full jabot of embroidered tulle falls down the front. Satin guipure and feathers are used for the accom- panying capote so that it plainly matches the cape.
 Fleeing out such fur with lace Is no saving of expense, costly as entire seal skin garments are. Take the right kind of a cape or coat of seal; 1t costs a lot of money and is really beyond any but extravagant tastes. Ermine is al- ways above even this, and sable is much more. The one possible thing for the swell dressed woman who is not rolling in wealth is black astrakan. A cape made from small bits looks every pieces, and it costs about half as much The pieces are fitted and matched ex- actly, and a garment made from them will last as long as any other. The difference will be plain when 1t comes to cutting up and making over. But a woman really cuts and makes over a fur only because it originally cost so much that she has not the conscience to disregard 1t till it is worn to noth. ing. If in the beginning the cost was reasonable, she won't mind discarding the garment after a season or two. Therefore, go in for a small-piece as- trakan, black preferred.

Reindeer are now success in Alaska
 says Dr. Sheldon Jackson, general edu- cation agent for Alaska, who has just arrived in Seattle from Port Clarence The animals are thriving finely, and the Laplanders imported by the govern ment to teach the Esquimaux how to raise and train the reindeer are suc- ceeding we'll in their work. Two hundred fawns were born at Port Clarence last spring, and there are now some $50 rein deer in the herd there. Next January two herds of hundred each are to be turned over to the natives. Dr. Jackson thinks the successful introduction of the reindeer has solved the problem of what will become of the Esquimaux when all the seals have disappeared.

Fresco painting on church walls that will not rapidly decay in air as damp and as charged with gases as that of England has been made possible by an invention of Adolf Keim of Munich, which Mrs Anna Lea Merritt has used at St. Martins Mission church, near Blackheath. The walls are prepared with kind of hydraulic cement, very porous and firm of texture The painting is done with colors ground in chemical ly pure water The work must be done as precisely as by the old method of fresco painting, but 1t can be retouched a little at the last. The colors are finally set by the application of a sort of si- licate, varying in quantity according to the absorbent qualities of :he various colors. When the fixing is complete the surface is very hard, and the painting, which has no gloss, but a neat, grant, lated surface, may be washed freely and exposed to rain or open sunlight.

It's wise man who knows when to keep his mouth shut. A Bridgeton, New Jersey. man got into a heated discussion with the postmaster of the town few nights ago. "Dubois," said the postmaster, If you keep your mouth shut for half an hour I'll give you $10." Accordingly, Colonel Dubois lit ci- gar. took a seat and kept as silent as a tobacco sign for half an hour" At the expiration of that time he claimed the ten dollars, and when the postmas- ter explained that his offer was made merely in Pickwickian sense he sued him for the amount in court. The judge has now decided that the ten dollars must be paid, and the postmaster seems likely to be out considerably more, though he has taken an appeal.
