We print this morning in full the notable historical discourse delivered by the Rev. pr Harwood last Sunday. It Is very valuable contribution to the history of New Haven and Con- necticut. Especially interesting and impressive is the description of the condition of this town in the days when 1t WIS "a well-planned but thinly settled country village, the inhabitants of which were devoted to saving souls
 to money making, and to perpetual quarreling with each other on topics of theological interest" The begin nings of the Episcopal Church in New Haven are set forth with great skill and clearness, and those who are not familiar with the facts gathered and arranged by Dr. Harwood will be sur prised when they read some of them. And they will heartily rejoice with him that theological hatein this theological region has been greatly mitigated, and that we are living in a better day than that in which members of the Church of England were not welcome in Yale college and clergyman of that Church apparently had difficulty in persuading anybody to let him live any nearer Yale College than Savin Rock.

seem to be slipping off the more con- tented the wearers seem to be. It is evidently bad form to display interest in the safety of little things like fur tippets, capes or boas, and it is fan cied that the girl who loses such arti- cles with the most indifference is the girl who proves herself most complete ly a swell Meanwhile, perhaps the girl who ranks with the thousands might make a good thing by walking close behind the other girl and finding these things.
 The girl whom the artist places in this column contents herself with mink tippet of one head, but she makes up by putting a bouquet on the other side. Her toque is an extremely dres- sy little bit of headwear, made of liz ard green mirror velvet with a draped, low crown. The brim is of doubled vel vet and is bent and twisted to suit the wearer's face, being caught on the left side with jet buckle. It's .garniture consists of black satin bows placed among the folds of the brim and a full bunch of ostrich tips with an aigrette, on the left side
 The fur Czari,sa Is very stunning for street wear the fur being confined in front by very heavy buckle and drawn into wide spreading loops at each side. Perhaps fur Is a little heavy for this use, but the effect is good and can be attained less expensively than the effect of the double headed, double barrelled tippets so many women are wearing.

THE FENCE AROUND THE GREEN.

N .
 In his inaugural address yesterday
 Mayor Hendrick gave New Haven something to talk about. He formally
 and officially asked if the time has not
 come for taking away the fence that
 surrounds the Green. His question
 will be answered by everybody who
 reads it, and it will of course be answered in different ways, But we think that a large majority of the answers given will be in favor of re- moval for the reasons given and hinted at by the mayor. There is noth- ing sacred about the fence. It isn't even historical There is no particular sentiment connected with it. It is a good place to lean against when wait ing for the cars or '1oafing' and that is its principal use It does not keep cows and sheep off the Green, and it's removal would not give them any more chance at the grass than they have IlOWt llo 4ClIipNetiy elo lllC AIlcty pOlltl6 out, would allow the walks on Church and Chapel streets to be broadened, and thus the appearance of the center of the city could be greatly improved.
 The only objection we can see to taking away the fence is that the grass on the Green might be trodden on more than it is under the present arrange ment and thus the beauty of the Green be somewhat injured. But this would be amply compensated by the attractiveness made by the broad walks, the lights and the seats, New Haven is taking down several fences nowadays, and she might profit ably take down the one around the Green.

When a member of the Retail Gro rers' association of Philadelphia pro- posed at one of it's meetings the other Evening that petition be sent to the aegislature asking that a law be enacted acquiring dealers in eggs to mark them as sfresh-laid" or "ice-house" eggs, as { hhe case might be, there was instant op- position on the part of grocers who find the sale of 'ice-house" eggs as fresh" very profitable. One of the protestants said that the cold storage variety was Aust as good as the other and that not nyen a grocer could tell the difference. JAS a matter of fact, while the preserved eggs when broken look fresh enough, they soon become stale after being eX- nosed to an ordinary temperature. The honest dealer naturally objects to such eggs being sold at prices which he rbarges for the fresh-laid, and here was the trouble in the Retail Grocers' asso- citation. The friends of the 'ice-house" eggs challenged the would-be petitioners for legislation to test to determine whether they could tell the difference between the two varieties. On an even- ,ng named basket of each was brought into the rooms of the association, a committee of reference was named, some of the eggs were broken into bowls and others were boiled. The result of the test was complete rout of the storage-egg following, the champions of the fresh-laid being able to point out in every Instance which was which.

The governor of Kansas tells in the current North American Review how the farmers of his State are situated. The farm-mortgage debt of Kansas ag- gregated s157, ,145 900 in 1890, and 10000 farmers are annually dispossessed of their homes by the foreclosure of these mortgages. During the last ten years the people of Kansas have practically Host $3,OOo,OOO. through the decline of prices in corn and wheat. They are paying interest to money lenders at rates all the way from to 12 per cent, and they are yearly disposing of their crops at a bare percentage above the cost of production.

REAL AUTHOR OF CHRISTIAN

Our former fellow citizen, Edward
EgglestOn, originated the Christian
Endeavor society in his popular story,
The HOOSier SchoOlmaster, which he
wrote in 1872 in a small house in
SchermerhOrn street. 1t is in this fic-
ton also that may be found The
Church of the Good Licks. In 1877,
when Mr.. Eggleston became the pastor
of the Lee Avenue COngregat ional
church NOW the Lee Avenue theater),
he organized for the young people a
Society of Christian EndeavOr, in imi-
tatiOn of the one in his book. The
weekly meetings in the church drew
together such company of bright
young men and women as this town
never witnessed in similar gatherings
before or since. All the professions
were represented; and the object was
chiefly social culture 1t was from the
success of this small company in max

SNATCHED FROM 4 SHARK.
A Thrilling Rescue of a Drowning
Woman OFF Atlantic City.

The members of the 2. J. Monahan
Yacht club who set sail on the Sloop
yacht Wicicomico last Saturday for a
cruise along the Jersey coast returned
sunburned and in the best of spirits
yesterday, with several tales of ad-
venture to tell. One vas of a thrill
ing rescue of Atlantic City during 4
battle with a nine-foot shark. The
shark was of the man-ea ting brand,
and the crew started in to catch it,
While prepara lions were being made
there were cries from a yacht about
fifty feet away that a woman had
fallen overheard
The Would-be SlayerS of the shark
at once devoted their attention to saw
ing the life of the woman. who was
seen struggling in the water midway
between the two yachts, while the
shark was lowering around not far
away. Captain Emmett Lynch. who
was acting as chief officer of the Wei
comico on the cruise. Sprang over
board and swan toward the drown
ing woman, who sank twice while he
was on his way to her, leaving only
her hat and sunshade to mark the
place where she was.
Meanwhile their companions on each
yacht looked on with mingled feelings
of fear and hope, and even when they
saw Captain Lynch grasp the woman
and swim with one arm toward his
boat they felt that the danger was but
half over. Although the shark contin-
ued to- disport itself in the water
within a few feet of the swimmer
and his burden, it did not modest them
They reached the side of the yacht in
safety and were taken aboard by many
willing hands.
The rescued woman prov ed to be
Mrs. Sadie Collins. She said that she
had been sitting on the railing of the !
yacht upon which she had come out
for a short sail with a party of
friends, and suddenly fell backward !
into the water owing to the railing
giving away. She was taken back to
her yacht, where the gallant captain
received the heartieSt thanks for his
courage.
The crew of the Wicicomico then
devoted their attention to killing the
shark, which meanwhile had discov-
cred the hat and the sunshade and
promptly demolished them After half
an hours hard fight they succeeded
in harpooning it and taking it aboard
their boat

FOR YOUR FALL GOWN.

There is every indication that fine
qualities Of broadcloth and ladies'
cloth will be in great use during the
fall and winter for street redingotes,
capes, jackets and entire costumes.
The finish of these textiles is the fin
est that has ever been produced. Am
AEON cloth is another fabric that will
again be in great use, riyaling the
crepon goods in favor for skirts and
gowns. These materials differ from
broadcloth in having a semi-twilled
surface which is not distinct and
which does not permit of the lustrous
finish characteristic of the high grade
brOadcloths. They are from fifty to
ifty-fOur inches wide, and cost from
S1.25 to S1.75 a yard. The taste for
soft, delicate wOolens like Henrietta
cloth and India cashmere is never en-
tirely lost, although their attractions
may be temporarily obscured by the
