CONNECTICUT PoP0CRATs.

Connecticut will soon be as we'll SUD- piled with parties and tickets as any State in the country. The Popocrats organized and nominated yesterday, and they did their work in that go- ahead style which befits those who know they are right And they didn't shed a tear in parting with their old comrades. Indeed. they almost shed their boots in their indecent eagerness to kick the old and tried warriors out
 According to the Popocrats of Con- necticut, everything is all wrong ex- cept the Chicago platform and the Boy Orator. In them is the hope of the country. In this they agree with the Boy Orator, and the fact that most of their fellow citizens don't agree with them doesn't disturb them. They, like the Boy Orator, will not lie awake on the night of election day, and if they find out at g D. m. of that day that they are beaten they will go to bed at 10 p. m. and go right to sleep. Such is the power of a good conscience and a correct understanding of things.
 In imitation of the Chicago conven- ton the Connecticut convention nomi- mated plutoerat in order to empha-

orr OF DEBT.

The decay of faith which we hear and read so much about is not visible in the financial statement from the treasury of the American Board of Commission CTS for Foreign Missions, This state ment shows that for the first time since August 31, 1892 the Board has been able to close it's business year without a debt. This is considered very grati- flying in view of the extreme business depression throughout the country, and the fact that the year began with a heavy debt The churches and indi- viduals of the Boards constituency have not only rallied generously to re- move the debt; but have contributed to the current expenses sufficiently to overcome a considerable shrinkage in legacies, so as to enable the Board to report this happy result. Costly re- trenchment on mission fields and ex- treme economy in administration have been necessary and are said to inspire new confidence in the financial man. agement of the Board.
 The total receipts for the year have been $74S, 104.59; and the total expendi- lures S627, ,9695S; leaving a balance of s115,135.O1 Deducting from this the debt of q year ago, $114,632,3S, balance is left in the Treasury at the close of this year of s502.63. Last year the reg ular donations were $423,373 this year they have been $426, 7S0.92 Last year the donations for special objects were 45,559.O4; this year they were S43. 9S915. Legacies last year amounted to $150, ,435.16; this year to $116,9S970. The total receipts from regular donations, from donations for special objects and from legacies last year were $619, .S1; this year S5S7, The receipts for the debt and interest on permanent funds, etc, amount to $155, 395.S2, mak- ing the total receips from all sources $743, 104.59.
 In addition to the above and aside from all receipts for the work of the Board, $13O, ,o35,96 have been forwarded for Armenian relief, and more than $SO00O for Armenians in Turkey from Armenian friends and relatives in this country

not allow her wheels maker to adver- tise himself wherever her wkeel went A name plate was set over the maker s plate, and thereon was engraved the name chosen by the fair rider for her steed. A ribbon embroidered to cores pond with the cap ribbon f1oated from the handle bar in manner altogether nautical. There was some talk of car rying private signal as yachtsmen do. The next move would be to add a flag that would signify when the own CT was aboard, and another to show that she had taken a header.
 The naming of wheels and the use of decorative ribbons will probably con- tinue as long as good riding weather does, but for city riding fanciful mo- tions as to the outfit, particularly as regards the costume, are at decided discount. Serviceabieness is the one great consideration now, and rigs like the two shown here are in general de- mand and use, although they are sim pie in all details. That at the right in the illustration includes norfolk jacket and skirt divided at the back, and is worn with gaiters to above the knees. Its skirt buttons at the right side and it's jacket is confined by wide leather belt It's material was gray serge. The other costume was of striped che viot, and it's skirt was divided like the other, but closed beneath a pIeat. Be heath it's jacket as sketched was a shirt waist, but a sweater can be sub- stituted when desired FLORETTE.

body-guard like Bishara's former chief, he was a very dissipated youth, but he appears to have taken liking to the austere Bishara and made him his second in command.
 Bishara was now living in the midst of the gross immortality which has gradually destroyed the spirit of Mah- dism. Ignoring the Mahdist tenets of self -ahnegation and purity, the Khalifa himself set an example of unbridled prohigacy, which was followed by all who could afford to do so Probably at first the religious and ascetic Bishara was disgusted with his surroundings: but 1t is certain that he gradually lost sight of his high ideals, that his whole moral nature at last became corrupted, and that he now greedily indulges in the vices from which he kept aloof throughout his early manhood The Oriental is a man of extremes. It is not unusual to see the man who was the honest fanatic, the earnest reform CT, the leather of all vice, become with in few years the selfish hypocrite, the voluptuary sunk in sloth, with no will for action left, his intellect weakened " eAceSseS uiSpldylHB no energy save in fitful outbreaks of cruelty and in savage orgies. Such was the Mahdi's history. Bishara may not have reached these depths yet, but refugees state that his character has greatly de- generated within the last few years and that he no longer commands the respect and love of his troops. It is now more than year ago that he was sent to Dongola in place of Yunes as Emir-inChief of that province He lives life of degrading luxury In his large house in the city of Dongola, sur rounded by his dancing girls and mu- sicians. = Correspondence London Times.

country.

Summer bicycle riding brought out some fanciful notions to view, and some of these will probably finger. It was noticeable that while the city rider seldom indulged in any but black en- amel wheel, frightened by nickle and the wood rim, the wheel ridden at the seashore bloonled in brightness. Some girls had an "all through" effect in wheel and rig. The prettiest of these was a white enamel wheel that, save for the gray of the rubber tire, showed no other color and whose rider was ill a white duck rig. All summer it was the rage to ride on the smooth hard sands of the beach, and the outfit for it consisted of brilliant blue wheel, a costume of a color to match and all gay with anchors, while the cap was bound by ribbon embroidered with the wheels name. The swell rider did

SOME woRK FOR GOOD CITIZENS.

Some curious reports are in circu1a- ton. One of them is that certain saloon keepers and others who sympathize with them are going to try to prevent the reelection of MT. Moran as member of the Board of Education be- cause he has done his duty as mem Der of the Police commission in backing up the Superintendent of Police in his crusade against Sunday law breakers. Another report is that some people are going to vote against MT. Betts be- cause he has done his plain duty as Insurance commissioner in criticising certain costly and dangerous insurance systems.
 If this kind of thing is to be done the good and sensible citizens of New Haven should make sure that 1t doesn't amount to anything. Messrs. Moran and Betts have worked hard for the good of the schools. They did not seek renomination and were finally per- suaded to run again only by a per sistent and urgent demand They are entitled to general and hearty support, and any attempt to punish them for doing their duty as public servants should be most thoroughly and effec- lively rebuked

The fun consisted in publishing coun- terfeit reports of the weather bureau predicting storms and cyclones by which a large number of persons were frightened and widespread distress re- suited. It appears that there is law against counterfeiting these reports the same as for issuing counterfeit money. The penalty imposed is fine of $500 or Imprisonment for ninety days or

Dr. Riotaro Hiata, secretary of the Japanese Embassy in Vienna. has pub lished German translation made by himself of his book, Thoughts of a Japanese About Women, Especially Those of Japan" He disapproves of the new woman,'' and believes that wornan's highest ambition should be to be g. good wife and mother. Yet he thinks that Japanese women need more freedom and more exercise, as they are deficient in health and energy compar- ed with European women. Their edu- cation, he thinks, is too purely aesthetic music, poetry, embroidery, flowers. Theaters, concerts, and balls, do not exist for the upper classes; to dance would be immoral. The Japanese wo- man has few legal rights, but she is protected by the Confucian code of morals, which is stronger than law. Hiata believes that Japanese women will become Europeanized.

 , A writer in recent number of the Revlstica. Nautica remarks that all the great naval powers have been experi- menting with petroleum fuel. Tn 1893 many Of the Italian warships carried a. supply of astatki to be used as an adjunct to their ordinary fuel supply, while many of the torpedo-b boats were fitted to use 1t exclusively. England is said to have made the most progress in this line, and Russia, to which the matter is of special importance, owing to her enormous supplies of petroleum, comes second. The advantages of the liquid comprise a reduction in the weight and volume of combustible re- quired for given horsepower in the engines, giving an increased radius of action. The oil moreover can be stored, for the most part, below the water line, out of the way of shells. There is no fear of spontaneous combustion of the oil, such as occasionally occurs in the case of coal; and being free from sul- phur, the oil fuel is not likely to deteri- crate the boiler shell or tubes. The operation of firing is extremely easy with petroleum, and once the draught is properly adjusted there is no steam or tell-tale flame from the tunnels of the boat. The furnace-doors can be kept closed, thus avoiding the rush of cold air on to the boiler which occurs every time fresh coal Is placed on the furnace-grate. The taking in of fresh supplies of fuel is also extremely sim pie, and can be carried out successful ly in mid-ocean and in rough weather. The evaporative power of the oil is, weight fon weight, superior to that of coal.

The scientists of France will celebrate tomorrow the fiftieth anniversary of the discovery of the planet Neptune by Urban Le Verrier and John Couch Adams. LeVerrier decided by caloula- tions that there must be a planet of about the mass and orbit of Neptune in order to account for certain disturb ances in the orbits of other planets. He therefore wrote to Dr. Galle, the as- trononer of the Berlin observatory, requesting him to point his telescope to a particular spot in the sky, on an evening indicated, and, in effect, said: You will see a planet which I have not seen, and which no human eye has ever seen, but which, nevertheless, must be on the spot, because my call culations have pointed out the necessi- ty for its existence" Dr. Galle did as directed. and on September IS, 1S46, Neptune was in view and recognized as the outlying planet which revolved around the sun. The English astrono- mer, Adams, arrived at the same con- clusion at the same time.
