.rAMGs DR1GHr DANA.

James Dwight Dana rests from his labors. which have been many and great. His long, exceedingly industri- ous and uncommonly useful life ended last evening. He did not have to un- dergo a long and wearing illness, but went quickly from this life to another even as he was wont to turn from one form of activity to another while he was among men.
 Professor Dana filled a large place in the world of science. His name IS known and honored in all civilized lands and his books are in use in many countries. He was indefatigable in the pursuit of facts, accurate in their ar engagement and clear and convincing in his reasoning from them. Few men have done more or better work in the field he labored in than he, and none has worked with more intensity and honesty of purpose.
 As a teacher at Yale for more than forty years Professor Dana did work whose influence and usefulness cannot be calculated. Many distinguished scientists have owed much of their success to the stimulus and training he gave them, and thousands who have not become distinguished as scientists have profted much by his teaching and by him. He had a great heart as well as great mind, and the many generations of students that have gone out from Yale since he began to teach there have carried with then no more pleas- ant memory than their memory of the faithful, just and generous Professor Dana.
 A prophet is often without honor in his own country, but it was not so in Professor Dana's case. He showed himself friendly to the people among whom he lived, and they were cordially appreciative Of him. They liked to hear of his achievements and his fame. 
 They liked to see him going actively and erectly about, the embodiment of vigor and purpose. He was to them a fine young man and finer old man. All over the world hls death will be formally noticed. and great scientific societies will pay his life and labors due honor. But here in New Haven he will be sincerely and heartily miss ed and mourned by his associates in the University, and by many of the people among whom he has 50 long lived and to whom he was known not only as a great and famous man, but also as good citizen. good neighbor and a good friend.

4N INTEREsTING BILI.

The argument in favor of the bill giving additional power to the Connec- tlcut Law and Order league Is a strong one. The bill has received much sup port and much that was unexpected. 1t has been reported favorably by the committee, and will be strongly advo- cated when 1t comes up for action. The opposition to 1t is largely concealed, but 1t is powerful. There is said to be a well-organized lobby at work against it, and there are signs that there is. The fact that the bill makes the enc mics 1t does is one of the best reasons why 1t should become a law that can be given.

about the age of ten the gowns become more elaborate and the corset waist begins to take shape, though dresses are still mostly made 'all one" For par ,ty she may be a dream of silk and chif- fon like mamma, or she may still be confined to more simple gowning. The stylish miss of tender years who is sub ject to this sketch wears g. dress of rose pink liberty satin that Is gathered around the neck leaving the dress per fectly loose, and fastening invisibly in back. The lining is pink China silk and the satin skirt is tucked several times around the bottom. For garniture there are a tucked ruffle around the neck and frills to match on the wide, puffed sleeves, which have fitted lining. Such simple gown can be made effec- tive in almost any material, but some bright stuff is desirable because of the lack of showy trimming.
 Paste buttons are used on fancy bod ices for grown folks, and paste buckles are admissible for children. Care should be taken, however, to prevent the ap- pearance of gorgeousness, which is the worst sort of taste in the little folks, who then seem as if they were fairly weighted down with baubles.
 Bath wraps of fleece lined flannellette should be in the wardrobe of every child. They are made just like those of grown folk, and the little ones enjoy them just as much.
 No matter whether you approve of bloorners for women bicyclers or not, let the little daughter wear them. Up to twelve years old at any rate she is safe from being stared at, and the exer- else will be worth twice to her what it would be did she realize the handicap and danger of skirts from the begin ming.

wered than by the following quotation from the Hartford Courtant:
 Why does the league exist at all? Why not leave it's work entirely to the regular police and constabulary forces? The first reason is that these latter forces do not avail, and the second is that they cannot avail. That is the les son of history and the admission of officers.
 And, though sometimes apathy seems almost universal, it is really true that some people do care to have the law observed feel outraged by its violation, and demand it's enforcement. That is why this league carAe into existence The forces of evil are at work all the time. People seem to take that for granted, and many people regret the fact and stop there. But some, with more courage and a higher sense of duty, have made up their minds that there is no reason why the forces that work for good shouldn't be at 1t all the time, too"

FASHION NOTES.
Fashions for Wee Ones.

Dresses for little girls are not at pres ent following the styles of their elders as closely as they do in some seasons, for the rule has become a general one to have the child's attire reflect the laws laid down by the elders, even while
 they are mere tots. But godet skirts and huge puff sleeves are difficult items to manage in wee sizes, and wide waists, gulmpes, yokes, gretchen bod ices and pinafore dresses prevail. Al

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, June 2s.-WhoesaIe Hqui-
dation in all parts of the Industrial list
forced a sharp reaction in the general mar
ket this morning, in which values We're
curtailed from 1 to I per cent. The trad
ing during the noon hour was particularly
sensational the market during this period
being wholly unsupported under great SELL
ing pressure.
Rumors of financial trouble. affecting the
credit of a trader not now personally prom
inent in the street, were circulated, but
were subsequently denied.
Rumors of gold exports were adopted by
the credulous. and weak holdings were
forced out at the buyers estimate of value.
The professional bear element was in undis-
puted control of the situation, and alarm
was everywhere apparent. The ferceness
of the attack necessitated its being brief,
however. and partial recoveries followed
more rational trading.
The results of yesterdays meetings of the
anthracite sales agents and the trunk line
presidents were generally satisfactory. and
opening prices were improved from " TO
per cent, with indications of further i'm
provement as the day progressed.
Sugar and Chicago Gas failed to hold the
small fractional advances recorded at the
opening. and evidences of liquidation soon
became apparent in these issues. The
weakness becoming more pronounced dur
ing the first hour traders became less con-
f1dent in their attitude toward the general
list, and proft-taking at once ensued.
American Tobacco was suddenly attacked
by the room, and a per cent decline fol-
lowed. the entire list participating in the
movement.
In the railroad list the decline was con-
fined between the extremes of 1 and
per cent, Burlington offering the least re-
sistance as the result of liberal sales Of
long stock.
Tennessee Coal and Iron sold up / 1-2
per cent on advance information to the
effect that the company would advance
the rates for pig iron at least so cents per
ton and possibly a dollar during the af-
ternoon. This encouraging. prospect failed
to counteract the prevailing tendency of
speculation and first prices were restored
at the time of the most pronounced weak
ness elsewhere. At the decline purchasers
were abundant, however, and the stock
after twice touching the opening level was
twice forced back to the highest point of
the day.

of the lower lip, ran to the turn of the
chin and making jump of an inch struck
him on the throat. dividing into two
branches, from which countless minor lines
diverged Each of the main stems were
about an inch long and appear to have been
broken UP by the numerous radiations
The flesh was scorched, but not blistered

none the worse for his experience
Physicians and electricians who have
been spoken to are unable to explain the
remarkable freak of the lightning.
