T0BACCo AND LONG LIFE.
westport Has Two Nonogenarians Who
 stand on Both Sides of the Question.

westport Has Two Nonogenarians Who stand on Both Sides of the Question.
 There are two men in Westport, both drawing near the century mark, who are arguments for or against the use of tobacco, as one chooses to take it. One has passed his ninety-third year as an abstainer; the other is now in his nine ty-first year, having used tobacco as smoker more than three-quarters of a century.
 | In his ninety-fourth year, Horace Stables, president of the First National bank, presents physical proof of what non-indulgence brings about. His life work began really in 1919 as a school teacher He had been taught to avoid the use of tobacco in any form. He soon learned that chewer or a smoker applying as a candidate for teachers S certificate had little chance of success. He kept as far away from tobacco in huences as possible, and thus held his papers for more than eight years. In i 1884 he yielded to temptation, smoked and chewed now and then. In 1887 he decided the indulgence was useless and stopped it. In 1889 violent attack of toothache was relieved by chewing old Virginia plug. At nearly ninety four his step is firm, his mind and mem ory active and acute, and his hand steady, so that his autograph on bank notes is dashed off with the boldness and character of those signed by him forty-three years ago.
 As president of the Westport Histor- ical society he has supplied details of events which otherwise could not have
 been obtained. Figuring on the out | Iay he would have made by the use Of tobacco from the time he was fifteen
 till now seventy-nine years, at s13o vear-a reasonable estimate--a round | SIG. 900 would have gone up in smoke,
 but to-day he can lay his hands on
 sum in cash even. greater than that as
 a result of letting it alone.
 | In his ninety-first year Elnathan Wheeler is as strong in body and ac- 1 tive in mind as most men at sixty, and more than three-duarters of century.
 His fine condition physically and men,
 tally is a refutation of the claim that the use of tobacco inevitably injures health and shortens life. For more | than fifty years his smoking was so
 continuous as to become an actual
 buse of tGe seed. Alter 1870, when
 he retired as manufacturer, he decid- ed to take only three smokes daily | from a clay pipe-once after each
 meal. To those who dined with him on his ninetieth anniversary he remarked
 as he drew on the clay and saw the curling smoke that his habit had been beneficial rather than injurious. MT. Wheeler is a great reader, the Bible re- cefvfng a large share of his time, but he | keeps abreast of public affairs through the papers. He has been deacon in the Congregational church for more than 8 generation.-Westp Hour.

 Committee on Condemnation Reported
 Yesterday Company Thinks the
 Award is Too Much,
 Eugene S, Thompson, who owns the land over which the New Haven Water company proposes to utilize for the tun- mel in East Haven, was yesterday awarded s9S5 damages by the commit tee which has been hearing the con- demnation proceedings brought by the Water company. The attorneys of the Water company think that the sum awarded is rather high in view of the fact that an aqueduct is to be run through the larger portion of the strip of Mir Thompson's land that was asked for and 1t will be placed at such a depth that the soil above 1t will be as good for farming purposes as any other part of MT Thompson's land. MT, Wat rous of Watrous & Buckland, who rep resent the Water company, said yester- day that he could not tell whether they would appeal or not, as it had not yet been decided.
 The amount awarded is about what was estimated by County Treasurer Ja- cobs as just estimate of the damages.

DEFENDED YALE.

Mrs. Poteat's Remark Concerning the Uni-
 versity-whata n New York Pastor Said at
 Nathan Hale Banquet-What Rev. John
 c. Collins Said Last Night.
 New York, Nov 26-The Rev. Dr. Da- vid James Burrell, pastor of the Marble Collegiate church, in his address last night upon Nathan Hale at the banquet of the Sons of the Revolution at Del monico's, took occasion to reply to the attacks of Mrs, Poteat, who said recent ly that she would rather have her boy In hell than in Yale.
 He referred to the simple virtues and manly Christian character of the pat riot spy, who was graduated with hon. or from Old Eli
 And this man. said Dr. Burrell, "was educated in Yale. I am aware that it has been said recently that there is no choice between Yale and Gehenna. You will not take it amiss if in this presence, where there are so many Yale alumni, I refer to it here.
 "A Yale alumnus sat in the chair of the presiding officer at that convention and heard what was said with silent ap- proval-a man who, as student, was dragged from his room for inebriety. At length he was, through classmates, led by an influence which Is not fost ed in sheol to renounce his vices and to lead a better life. He entered the Christian ministry, yet he, Yale man, showed his face here that day and re- +,.;L, lo
 "A Yale alumnus should not have left the floor of that convention without entering a word of protest.
 "'Oh! sharper than a serpent's tooth To have borne a thankless child ,"
 The doctors sentiments were loudly applauded.
 Rev. Mir Collins, secretary of the Christian Workers when interviewed | last night in regard to the above said | the New York pastor was in error con- cerning MT. Torrey as MT. Torrey de- 1 tended and eulogized Yale, as news paper reports show, and favored the resolution at the convention sustaining New Haven and Yale, which provoked the remarks of Mrs. Poteat, which have excited so much comment.
 Rev. MT. Collins said he had writ 1 ten yesterday a personal letter to Rev. Dr. Burrell on the subject, calling his attention to the fact that MT Torrey was not silent when Yale was aspersed | but made a strong speech in defense of his alma mater.
 | Mir Collins added: It was in order | to defend and vindicate Yale that Mir. l Torrey was willing to have the resolu- I tion introduced. He said in his remarks l that he kept silent as long as it was a personal matter but when he saw that the remark was likely to do harm to Yale and this city, he wished to do ev- erything possible to correct false | impression concerning remarks he was alleged to have made.

The New York papers are always equal
to a great occasion. The occurrence OF a
thunder storm a few days ago, accom-
panied by a dark cloud that required gas
TO be lighted in Offices and stores, fur
nished material for nearly a column of
graphic descriptive writing in a leading
journal Of the metropolis, together with an
editorial which began with the solemn
statement that "the awe-insplring arkness
that suddenly overspread the whole of the
city yesterday, a few minutes after noon,
was unquestionably the effect of a thunder
cloud" Then. as If fearing that this might
be questioned the writer added, "the at
tendant lightning and ensuing rain, the
gray color Of the horizon before and after
ward, the brief duration of the experience.
and the visible movement of the pail across
the sky combine to establish the nature OF
the phenomenon beyond a doubt" The ap-
pearance and movement of the cloud were
described. and rural readers were assured
that lit was apparent to any one who &C
tually beheld this cloud ad-vantageously
that 1t came much closer to the earth than
the great majority of its congeners ever
do in this vicinity" If an ordinary thunder
storm in New York can evoke such fine
writing as this how would they treat a
Western cyclone or cloudburst?

sustained by facts. Mexico exports a
large amount of silver. In 1893 she ex-
ported $500 900 worth of silver, as
against only $31. 900. 900 of all other mer-
