We're Only as Big as Marbles-The Heavy
Down Pour of Rain in New Haven-A Big
AND Refreshing Change of Temperature
The extreme heat of the previous
three days gave way yesterday and
cooler weather came-a great relief to
overheated humanity. The drop in the
temperature was fully twenty degrees
and last night a light overcoat was
not an uncomfortable article to wear.
1t was quick change from boiling heat
to refreshing GOODNESS.
The cooler weather had come before
yesterdays thunder storm and big
downpour of rain came. The rain fell
In torrents for about twenty minutes,
beginning a little before 2 p. m. and
hundreds were caught out on the thor
oughfares without umbrellas. There
was quite good sized town meeting
under Willis L. Mix's drug store awning
and inside his store while the big
shower lasted. The city had thorough

times whirled around as rapidly as a

Hon. G. 2. Faulkner, Atchison, Kan.
Dear sir:-Your favor of the 7th to
hand. have just received a copy Of
Major Dudley's report, which he tells
me he has forwarded to you. and re-
quests that you will sign my name with
his.
am sorry that he has not made it
more complete, as / sent him all the
material receivedffron every Home and
state treasurer in the south.
My health and business engagements
have been such that could mott under
take to do this as promised and that
was the only reason that induced me to
send 1T to him. If it is possible I will be
present ait New Haven, but I cannot
now promise.
I would like very much for the report
to have given the number of men cared
for in the various Homes in the South
ern States and also the cost, and sent
Major Dudley all this information.
have requested him to return me the
matter, and if possible during the sum
ner I shall make a full and elaborate
statement of what we have dome since
the war, so 1t can be published in some
magazine. Unfortunately those of us
who engage in active business are not
masters of our own time and my pri-
waite duties have been such that I have
contemplated for some time aresigning
the presidency of our Soldiers Home,
which dislike to- do, as I am one of the
organizers of the institution and have
given twelve years of my time to it,
feel a great interest in the organization
of whichyou have the honor to be pres
ident and believe that it lis conducive to
much good. have always taken an in
terest in all the reunions we have had
both north and south, and have attend
ed several meetings of the Army OF the
Potomac, because I feel the men who
fought on both sides do not know each
other sufficiently we'll, and much of the
animosfty Of the past has been allayed
by meeting each other in friendly inter
course, and believe in all such associ-
ations as this one contemplates.
You can readily understand that
have but little time when I tell you that
am president of four mercantile and
manufacturing corporations, and for
the past three years, as you are aware,
business has been such that it requires
more than extra exertion and time to
attend to them. I enclose you my last
report to the legislature Of Virginia in
regard to- the Virginia Home. IT has

The Troubles of Dress Reformers at Ann
Arbor, Mich.
ANN ARBoR, April 1l.-Miss Edna d.
Day, a fair junior lit, has been wearing
boomers IN riding the bicycle. One rainy
day she wore her boomers to school. Mrs.
LANES, who keeps the boarding house,
told Miss Edna that boomers would not
be allowed and that she would have to
quit either the boomers or the boarding
house. Mrs. Eames was insistent and the
young woman does not wear her bloom
ers except when she rides. She says, how
ever, that she is going to wear them
when and where she pleases.
1t is reported that the boarding mis-
tresses have combined against boomers,
but as Miss Day is bright, pretty and pop
ular. and as some of the professors wives
have donned boomers for bicycle riding,
1t is thought that they VIII yet win. Miss
Brown OF the medical department., who
wears a short skirt with her boomers
openly defies the decree. The male stu
dents are "a unit in favor of boomers. As
both Miss Day and Mrs. E.mes are plucky
