odd vessels Designed for Speed.
A curious vessel was finished last
June. and lay at a private wharf in
Virginia for some time. She was named
the Howard Cassard and nicknamcd
the Razor back" With q length of
222 feet. she had only 1G feet beam.
Her equilibrium was maintained by an
extremely heavy keel and some 10000
pounds of machinery below the water
line.
The razor-like sharpness of the boat
gave it a curious look, and it was OK
pectcd that when moving through the
water tn esharp Prov would cut it like
q knife, thus reducing the resistance
10 a minimum. The narroWness of her
beam neCessitated some economy in
her interior arrangements, but this was
successfully overcome by adopting
somewhat the idea of sleeping car,
But the Howard CasSard was an ex-
pertinent that evidently has not been
successful, as the claim Of the de-
signer 10 cross the ocean III thrce-ifths

In marine construction was that of the
man who proposed placing in taa stern

idea Of another engineer and inventor
1t is to run q series Of hollow pipes
through the entire length of the keel
The pipes are TO receive the water at
the bow and carry it to the center Of

Republican County Ticket.
OUR LAST APPEAL.

Before TIE TINES appears again the
great battle of the ballots will have taken
place, and it Will have been decided
who is to occupy the White House for
the next presidential term.
In common with all lovers Of good
government, all believers in a sound
monetary system, we are anxious for
the success of the Republican party,
not so much because we are Republi-
cans, but because we believe that the
party of Lincoln, Of Blaine, of Harrison,
of Mckinley is best capable of admin
istering the affairs of this the greatest
of Republics.
Ever since the Democratic party sue
cecdcd in securing the reins of govern
ment the business of the country has
been disturbed. The reversal Of our
fiscal policy, brought about by the re-
peal of the Mckinley bill and the sub
stitution of lower duties, caused wide
spread disaster from which the country
has been suffering ever since, and will
continue to suffer unless the people rise
in their might, on the third day of
November next, and sweep the Demo-
Gratis from power.
But as if the past record of that party
were rot enough to condemn it to ban
ishment from power, we are confronted
with the possibility Of having to suffer
still greater evils lift succeeds in secur-
ing new lease Of office. Not content
with making renewed professions of
faith IN it's political creed, it has been
adding to its gospel, and passed sentence
of communication upon all the great
Democratic leaders-the generals =
who refuse 70 subscribe to new and
strange doctrines. Among the new
articles of faith the chief is the rs TO |
heresy, which we are asked to believe,
if crystalized into law, will bring silver
to a parity with gold, set the wheels of
industry in motion, and bring back
prosperity and contentmcnt.
Opposed to this theory we have the
lessons Of history. China and Mexico,
The former one of the oldest nations in
the OldWorld, and the latter one of the
oldest nations of the New World, two
countries on a silver basis, are among
the least progressive On the other
hand, England. France, Germany,
Austria and Italy are on a gold
basis, in comparison to which China
and Mexico are buried in medieval
darkness Gold Is, and has ever been,
the fruitful parent of commercial pros
peritv and human enlightenment. !:

Dear Sir,
| have lately hal the opportunity of
attending two lectures on MANS Highest

by Mr.. Reubel, Printer. In both cases, and
particularly in the second, many interesting
statements were made indicative OF Mr..
RtubePo most finished product on, real
force md pathos. The incidents We're Of a
more highly elevated morality than has here
tofore reen common in literary p oductions,
and throughout the lectures winch were
nothing short of euterttiuInE--tnrre were
minor strains in the end that drowned the
richer harmonies Of aff ctionwh ch occasional

were no unnatural characters, 10 strained
situations; nothing but mature" as it is.
The lectures We're given with a simple and
sincere power utterly without vul-arIty, and
with a chastened self res train quite new.
Mr.. Reubel endeav CURED to bring within
the comprehension of his hearers some prac.
tieal idea of enormous space.
The stars that we see, apart from the planets
of our solar system. are suns, the nearest
star 10 the earth is Alpha Centauri, which is
only visible in the southern heavens. Now
to saw that this was 1000, 900, 900, 600 1000
miles away, would give ohIy d confused luea
of distances, as half a quarter of this sum
would seem quite as great in the aggregate
as this appears, because the unit of distance
is too small easily to popularize the
broad conception. To say that the star in
question is quite 200, 900 times as far away
from the earth as the sun, is equally incom-
prehensible. But some other and larger
yardsticks were used by Mr.. Reubel when
these tremendous distances We're measured
off.
AS the unit of distance that electricity
can travel in a second of time, that is,
$50, 900 miles, or seven times around the
earth while the electric current, under
proper conditions could reach the moon in a
little more than a second, and could arrive

1t is very often remarked, and perhaps truth
fully, that our young men have few or no
suitable places to which to resort for evening

many of them contract habits that exercise
such baneful influences on their future life.
In a country where private reading and

 This Evening.

At the West Haven Firemen's Fair
 This Evening.
 That cake walk at the West Haven Engine and Hose conpany's fair takes place this evening. Every one who is fortunate enough to be able to witness this entertainment at the town hall, will be amply paid for all time, troub- le and expense, notwithstanding the other numbers of the evening program are in every way excellent. Yet the star cake walkers will be the drawing card, as the elite of New Haven and the contest will be a lively one. The winner of the honors and the large decorated cake will be obliged to ex- hibit the utmost grace in form, figure and dress. It is expected that a large delegation from New Haven will go down to see the fun. The six front rows of seats will be reserved for la dies and their escorts. NotWithstand- ing the weather has thus far been un- favorable, still the people turn out in good numbers, for the firemen of West Haven are made up of it's best order loving and public-spirited citizens, and it is not surprising that they have hosts of friends who are not only ready to encourage them by their pres ence, but to help them financially. They have hard, laborious work to perform and they do it all voluntarily, and the object of this fair is to raise money to furnish their room for meet ing and perfect the organization of the company. The fair holds every evening this week.
