 An Open Letter to MT. Walter Irving Clarke
 of Hartford, who "Deronds the Evange-
 list''
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND CouRrER'
 Your panegyric on the Rev, B, Fay
 Mills, published in the Register this
 evening, is eloquent, evidently heart
 felt and perhaps in the main true, but
 it is outside the question, and you know
 it.
 No one "derlded MT. Mills ability"
 nor "impugned his motives" or ''reviled
 him" in any way. You do not need to
 be told this; you are evidently a man | Of some intelligence, as your article !n- dicates; then why indulge in wilful and l wholesale misrepresentation? Did you imagine that many would see your ar- ticle who would not see mine (printed
 Tuesday evening"? And did you think l it then safe to bear false witness under | cover of a multitude of pious adjecttves | accusing me of making statements in
 regard to Mir. Mills which were neither
 in my article nor in my mind? For | 9llctIllGl NIL N'ldlhGs IL yOU Aie@NC SNNA been converted by all means get con- | yerted again, and this time thoroughly. As my asterisk seems to trouble you, l my name is in the possession of the editor of this paper. He will give it to you on your personal application, and l should like to sit down and reason with you on some of the elementary princi-
 ples of the gospel.
 repeat in the strongest manner what
 was stated in my article of Tuesday:
 Fully half the Protestant churches of this city have little sympathy with this proposed revivalistic movement because ] of the peculiar methods employed to forward it and bring the evangelist
 here. So far as I know he had no | knowledge of them, but these methods
 have been devious, indirect, juggling, | jockeying, changeable-to characterize l it in one word, unscrupulous Against MT. Mills personally I make
 no charge and presume he is a gentle man of the highest character and the | best intentions, but he is sadly handi-
 capped by the fulsome praise bestowed upon him by his New Haven advertis- ing agent, such as comparisons with
 MT. Moody, to whom he is said to be superior, etc, etc, ad nauseam. 'The weapons of our warfare are not carnal," and the true way to prepare
 for a revival of religion, if such a bless l ing is to descend upon us from above, is the exact reverse in every particular of the methods employed in this in stance. New Haven, October 30, 1895.

It win soon be appropriate weather for frozen facts" and the New York Morning Advertiser furnishes six of them for the benefit of all who can make use of them:
 During the four years that Benjamin Harrison occupied the presidency feder- al revenues exceeded expenditures near ly S21O, ,O0o,0 1000. During the last two fis- cal years, under Grover Cleveland, fed eral receipts have fallen SIP, ,62S, ,S09,S7 behind expenditures.
 When Benjamin Harrison stepped down from the chief magistracy of the nation in 1893 the interest-bearing debt of the federal government was substan- tially $5S5, ,0OO, ,OOO. On June 30 last, after little over two years of Cleveland "financiering" and free-trade tariff tin kering, the tnterest-bearing debt has swelled to $716,2O2, 06O.
 During the fiscal year which closed on June 30, 1893, most of which year Re- publican president tenanted the White House, this country built 4,S97 miles of railroad In the following year under the whitening blight of Clevelandism, it built lesssthan half that number or, to be exact, 2,247 miles.
 In 1892, the first year that the benefi- cent effects of the Mckinley tariff law began to manifest themselves, the peo- pie of the United States sold goods amounting to $1,O15, ,7S2,O1t to people abroad. During the last fiscal year, ten months of which the iniquitous Wilson, German tariff law was in operation, the exports from this country had shrunk to $799, 55S,O1S.
 According to the census of 1890, the total amount of wages paid in the Unit ed States that year, a year when the Republican party controlled the execu- tive and 1awmaking departments of the nation, reached the magnificent sum of $2, 2,282,S23 ,265. Tn 1894, under Grover Cleveland and a Democratic congress, only the beggarly sum of about $1,2OO,- 100000 was paid in wages.
 In 1890 the value of the manufactured products of this country was $9, ,370 107, ,- 624. Four years later, thanks to the malign influence of Democratic pres ident and a Democratic assault upon the factories, shops, mines and farms ucts had dwindled to little over S5,- 100000, ,OO0
 Three cheers for the tariff for revenue and the enlarged markets!

board. The heavier the armor, the more need of Q low center of gravity and a deep draught, The ship of the free-ocean navy, needing only a mode rate armament, could be planned so as to secure the perfection of speed and seaworthiness, She could combine the largest capacity for stores and fuel With the best accommodation for of ticers and crew, She would, no doubt, discard the tugboat pattern now in vogue, and return to the old use of sails and spars; and last, but not least, the brutal and suicidal ram would dis appear.
 A federated naval service would of Ter, 1t seems to me, a higher profession al advantage. Being international it would be taken out of politics and into the category of civil service By econ omizing the number of ships necessary to sea supervision under the plan of CO., operative responsibility, and by saving the enormous expenses of armor and ordnance now weighing so heavily upon naval estimates, it would be quite possible to offer higher pay and to pro- vide retiring-pensions on a liberal scale.

to protect the steel from the oxidizing and deterioratIng effects of moisture Is a subject on which the engineers do not agree, Painting Is advocated by many, but the matter Of suitable maternal for paint is also an open and an impor- tant question, One engineer Of long experience doubts If any paint will ever be discovered which will prove a per manent protection to iron, He advocat- ed, therefore, that buildings be so con- struoted that all the vital parts can be got at for inspection and treatment. Under present methods the steel struc- ture is encased in stone, brick or terra cotta, where it is apt to become damp and to rust, and where it is impossible to protect it from the corrosive action of the clements.

A new way of collecting money from women for religious and charitable pur- poses has struck New Haven, and being based on some well-known and deep seated principles of woman nature is l likely to be quite effective. A little bag, or envelope, is sent to each woman
 who is expected to contribute, and she is notified that she must put in the lit tie bag or envelope as many cents as woman right where she lives, so to speak. Her age is inquired about and though inquired about in the name of religion or charity she knows very well that it will not do either religion or charity any good to know her age. She also knows that it will mot do her any good to be sensitive about the inquiry. She feels that she must do something. She can't refuse to contribute, because if
 she does somebody will say that she is not religious or charitable enough or else that she is too old. She cannot put
 in the bag or the envelope twenty cents,
 when even the most charitable person in
 the church knows that she is thirty-fve or forty. Of course she can't put in the number of cents which would truthfully
 tell her age. That wouldn't do, and
 there is no religious or charitable cause that could drag the truth out of her. Therefore two courses are left to her.
 She must either put in cents enough to
 make herself appear ridiculously young
 or cents enough to make herself ap-
 pear ridiculously old. If she puts in
 cents enough to make herself appear ridiculous1y young there will be so few
 cents that they will appear ridiculous and perhaps mean. And no profit will result to charity or religion. So she must take the other course and put in cents enough to make herself appear ridiculously old. She can do this with eHlIre SdLtlS to Ael U"'H SeuslllVele5S concerning her age and with profit to charity or religion. A young woman of twenty-five or so can put in a hundred | cents and be very cheerfully and cheer ingly laughed at, besides being able to laugh at herself And an old woman
 of eighty can put in cents enough to
 make herself out as old as Rider flag
 gard's She, and she can thus raise a
 cheerful snicker. and do good at the same time.
 The scheme is a good one A woman feels bound to say something when in-

Living in England.

Notwithstanding the cockneys, who
 are not content to stay in London, but pervade the summer resorts, and some | other people, including cockneys born i in America, but without the educated | impudence of the English kind, Eng | land is a charming place to Ioiter in, in
 the summer season. If l were asked, l however, to say what is one of it's dis I functions, I should say, seriously, that l it is q place where the traveller can l have his boots iblacked. | do not mean l daubed over with Sticky compound, and uncleaned and dim in an hour, but permanently polished. In the smallest and most out-of- -the-way inn in Eng l land (and I am glad to say that unpre- tending inns can still be found that preserve the old traditions of comfort and civility) boots are polished, highly polished. This may seem very low and unimportant matter to mention. It is, however, note of good service and one of the characteristics of the high civilization of our British friends

 ton as the five o'clock cup of tea. Mo- body knows exactly what the constitu- ton is; but MT. Balfour when he rises in the House of Commons and says that such and such proceeding vio- lates it, is not surer he is right than the humblest subject is when he appeals to it in matter of his individual comfort. The idea of the average Britisher is to get the most satisfaction possible out of his daily life, in little things as well as in large and he will not put up with slack service, among other annoy | ances; and the servants, who are in turn served by other servants, feel in | the same way. This means, I take it, subordination and order, or, in other 1 words, civilization. And a sense of | some leisure goes with this enjoyment of the small things. I have never heard the English accused of lack Of enterprise or lack of sturdiness and a disposition to have their own way, but they certainly have come to the idea that life is too valuable to be frittered away in perpetual uneasiness. And I am pleased to bear my testimony 10 one thing, at least among the class who travel for business or pleasure, and 1 some who travel rarely, that they | know enough to lie abed in the morn | ing. We got the raw idea from the English that ''early to bed and early to | rise makes a man happy, healthy and wise;" but they seem to have given I'D this notion pretty generally; and if 1 they are wise and obviously healthy

A Peaceful Navy.

Walter Mitchell discusses in the At lantic a condition under which naval warfare should stop by the combined action of the chief maritime powers making the ocean the free common for all nations, and declaring against its use for belligerent purposes" Con- sidering some of the objections to this, he says on one point:
 It may also be objected that, without the stimulus of possible war, no officers worth their salt would seek the navy. One can imagine this motive in the case of the army. A soldier who never fights or expects to fight is only a fin ished and pedantic militiaman. But

enough for most purses, and when a theater wrap is desired something less extravagant ought to do, but even without fur the evening wrap is made to cost a pretty penny. One is shown here that is made of rose pink epeingline, cut with fitted sides but loose front and back, and lined with ivory white satin. It's 1880 yoke is cov- cred with deep cream lace and is bor- dered in front and back with narrow black ostrich feather galoon and lace frills. The galoon also borders the hem, the edges of the front and the bell cuffs of the huge balloon sleeves, which are also covered with applique. A number of tiny ostrich tips gives the collar If it is desired the lace may he freely spangled, for that is commonly done this season.
 Such elegant wraps are frequently worn over low-necked dresses for which the present rule of cut is that they may be off-shoulder and straight across the chest, or the same cut is made to dip in front a little. The square neck, which properly belongs 10 the Louis periods that are pushed, is not popular, though it is becoming to many. The engenue cut-that is curved line that exposes only the throat and a little bit of the nape of the neck and chest, is much affected, and the only cut that is never seen is the pointed one that sets high on the shoulders. Arms bare below the elbow will be seen at all except very formal occasions, and the girl who goes to dinner with elbow puffs will be expect ed to remove her glove entirely to show her dimples. So don't indulge in the elbow puff unless you are able to re- move your gloves without Gbetraying the fact that half sleeves make you look like ''wash day. instead of add ing to your charms.

Judge Arnold of the Ohio court of oyer and terminer has ruled that the law of self-defense permits active oppo- sition to attacks which threaten per- sonal injury, and that the person who is attacked is fully justified in using force to repsl the attack, if necessary. Says Judge Arnold: The old rule that man who is assaulted by another must submit to the assault and retreat until he can retreat no further, or 1e- treat to wall as it is called, has been superseded by more sensible rule that person who is attacked may oppose force by force and advance in his own defense if he deems it necessary. Per sons are no longer under an obligation to submit to a beating when by defend ing themselves they may avoid harm. They may return blow for blow, and it is now agreed that retreat is not obi gatory. This is wise and just.
