Willow Slough, about halfway between
that place and Davisville, was nearly sub

somewhat and the Jubilee at the close
omitted all which improves it. Mr..
SCOTS character acting in this piece is
clever, aud Mr.. Muller, Miss Wiedeman

tant parts. But Miss Jackson is little
too fussy; she oyeracts, in short. The

judging Of the merit of a dramatic per-

cessity, that the actors are mediocre, no
more than that higher price is Il guar

not. The standards OF judgment are the
same in all cases of professionals, though
comparisons are to be modified accord

work of the Clunie Opera-house Com
pany is to be judged in BRUSHES play on
its personal merit, wholly irrespective

it is simple justice TO say that the new

4 CBAYCE FOE THE CHAMBER.

1 Ex-Mayor Sargent yesterday in the
 august presence of a legislative com
 mittee more than hinted that the New
 Haven Chamber of Commerce, which
 was founded over one hundred years
 ago for the noble purpose of looking
 after New Haven's interests in mo- lasses, sugar and rum, is not now a useful body. This charge may make
 some stir and it may even be referred
 to at the next annual banquet of the
 Chamber But the way to deal with it
 is not to try to talk it to death, It can
 be slain by action that will plainly dis
 prove it. For instance, if the Chamber
 of Commerce will take hold of New
 Haven's great dust nuisance and abol-
 ish it it win do a public service which
 will entitle 1t not only to be called use
 ful, but will entitle it to the lively grat-
 itude of all who suffer from the dust
 We do not know of anything just now
 that needs more attention than this
 nuisance. Thousands of the men and
 women of New Haven are going about
 with their noses, threats and lungs sore
 from the sharp and poisonous dust which they have been obliged ito breathe during the last few weeks. The goods
 in the stores are being damaged by it,
 and also the furniture in the houses. There is much private complaint, but not much public protest It has been found that public protest does no good. There is an Interest" or something in the way. And so the people of New Haven go on year after year suffering in health and in wealth from a nuisance deal with in short metre. How long must it be endured? Will not the Chamber of Commerce unburden itself of the reproach that has been cast upon it by the ex-mayor by tackling the dust nuisance and fighting 1t to a finish? And if the Chamber of Commerce can't and wont do it, why can't there be an 1 Anti-Dust league formed that will do it? l should be done. It is not | sensible for the people of New Haven to be buried before they are dead, and it | is not sensible for them to eat more than peck of dust each year or to | breathe more than bushel of the same.

THE GERMAN CARP CRAZE.

A few years ago there was a German
 carp craze in this country, which af-
 fected even the government, The carp
 was hailed as a valuable food fish, a
 rapid breeder and grower, and an in-
 exhaustible source of sport for those
 fond of fishing. But the craze has sub-
 sided. The carp thrives only in warm,
 sluggish water with a soft bottom 1t
 multiplies rapidly and attains weight
 of from five to fifteen pounds; as food
 it is fairly palatable when properly
 cooked, but inferior to most of our
 native fish; it is absolutely devoid of
 "gamy" qualities, as it never rises to
 the fly. seldom takes bait of any kind, and is rarely captured by the angler. For sportsmen it is an utterly uselss fish. And some complaints are now made against it which, if they are true, show that it Is worse than useless to sportsmen. The carp is accused of spelling the favorite feeding grounds of wild ducks. A "scientific sports man" thus makes his complaint in the Cincinnati Times-Star: 'The importa- tion of this species of worthless fish is making havoc among the feeding grounds of wild ducks, and as carp increase the ducks recede. In parts of Ohio and Indiana there are great stretches of duck grounds that are worthless on account of the lack of food. Carp eat the bulbs of plants that feed the ducks, and thus. by degrees will kill out duck food. Keepers of gaming grounds are com plaining seriously of the ravenous stranger fish that should have been allowed ito remain in the foreign l waters" A Toledo sportsman says, through the columns of the Blade of | that city, that along the western end

The nFIopn Easily Made.
[From Lhe san Franolsco Call.l


 "A flrst-class newspaper man was spoilt when Professor Kennedy, of the Franklin Grammar school, became a pedagogue" said Thomas Mayne to a number of friends at the Baldwin hotel last night. q used to know Professor Kennedy in Santa Clara county, when for a time he edited the Santa Clara Tribune for John Sullivan. One of the burning questions at that time was whether the county should donate to the Southern Pacific company about three hundred thousand dollars worth of bonds that had been subscribed for by the county In aid of the railroad. Professor Kennedy wrote a. vigorous arr ticle in the Tribune against the dona- ton to the railroad company. Sullivan was under the weather at the time, but managed to hop around to the office and said:
 See here, Kennedy. I don't want you to go too far on that, because may have to flop, you know
 "Kennedy replied: Oh, that's all right, the paper can flop easily enough when the time comes.
 "The next week another stirring arti- cle was printed in the Tribune against giving the bonds to the company.
 "A day or two afterward Sullivan sent for his editorial writer and said: It's all right, Kennedy, give the paper the flop. The railroad has fixed it with me satisfactorily
 "The next issue of the paper con- tained the following:
 "'We have been paid our price and therefore we flop, and have nothing further to say against giving the bonds to the railroad company. We believe that Is the best thing to be done.'
 Kennedy was discharged, and from that day to this he has said that Sulli- vans lack of appreciation of his ability as newspaper writer shunted him out of the journalistic profession"

AGAIN THE BRIDGE.

The more the East Hartford Bridge
 matter is looked at the more interesting it becomes. A notable feature of the majority report is the emphatic and un- qualified statement that it does not ap- pear, whatever entered into the original designs of the commissioners, that any means were resorted to in se- curing the passage of the act in ques- ton (the act of 1893, transferring the bridge to State controD, in the sense of influences brought to bear up- on members of the General Assembly. "On the other hand, it very clearly ap- pears that the passage of the bill was largely due to the honest efforts of in huential members of the General As sembly, whose integrity is beyond ques- tion."
 This being the case, and contract having been made that was not dis honest one, what consistency is there in the ingenious compromise planned by the majority report? It is said that the report to be made by Messrs. Gum and will declare that the State has made contract and must keep it. This will be at least consistent. If the State makes a foolish and unprofitable con tract it must pay the same penalty that individuals pay for like perform ance.

Dreary Dinners for the Yang Yus.

 Washington, March 22.-No one in Washington is more grateful for the conclusion of the dinner-giving season than the quaint little wife of the Chi nese minister. All through the winter Minister and Mrs. Yang Yu have ac- cepted three or four invitations each week. In Washington the custom of inviting interpreters of legations to di- plomatic dinners has never obtained, and the result of this oversight is that MT. and Mrs. Yang Yu were compelled to sit from 7.3O or eight o'clock in the evening until 1O:30 or Il without speak ing a word, Their command of English is limited to "Yes, please" NO, thank you" and How do you do?" and it is easy to imagine the torture they must.

The Plantation Negro. Love of Hunting.


 From the Philadelphia Times.l
 tistheabundance of game ofall kinds and of fish which makes the plant ation negroes so improvident The love of hunting is a passion with the South erner and with all the negroes on his place. If one or the field hands plougA- ing, hoeing or harvesting sees chance for a good shot, such as evidences of the close proximity of fox, wild turkeys tracks in the soft soil, indica- tion that 'possum lodges in some tree, or a big owl caught far from its haunts by daylight, he telegraphs his valuable information in some mysterious way to his employers up at the house. Tn twinkIing guns are loaded, horses are mounted, the dogs are set on the trail and master and workmen are in hot pursuit of the lately discovered deni- zen of the woods. The first time in his life that a negro boy has anything which he can call his own he swaps it for a dog that can run rabbits. He trains the dog to bring those rabbits to him when they are caught, no matter how much the dog may like the taste of rabbit flesh himself. When the negro boy has attained the importance of be- ing able to earn a little ''outside mon ey''-that is, money made by hoeing or picking cotton, gathering peas, break ing corn, driving a wagon or other oc- equations which he has been smart enough to take up in addition to his reg ular work--he buys a gum, usually cheap one with a single barrel. This weapon Is likely to explode when it is not expected ito do so, and not to ex- plode when 1t ought to, but neverthe- less it is a gun, precious beyond com pare in it's owners estimation.
