They must wait until they can govern
themselves before the government of
the University is given into their
hands. The great right of petition is
now being exercised in a legitimate
way, and the petition will doubtless
have the weight with the head men to
which 1t is entitled. We could wish,
however that those who drew the petit
ton had left out one word. We don't
know why Seniors OF Yale University
should "humbly" petition their rulers.

Some Facts Against Figures and a
TheorY.

e|NAS "Nto te'NA -
Theory.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Figures will not lie" but as the man
said to the insurance agent, liars will
figure" And even men of truth who
would not tell a lie are often so carried
away by some theory that they use fig
ures to deceive themselves and mislead
others. A correspondent of the "Cour-
ier' in last Wednesdays issue is so car
rled away by certain theory that he
conveys the impression that ministers,
especially Congregational ministers,
are professionally dead at fifty years of
age. Perhaps one of them who is not
fifty years old and is still living may
make a suggestion. Ministers, like
other men, die, and it is but natural
that more men under fifty than over fif
ty are found in the ranks of the min
istry. Ministers, like other men, grow
old, and it is not strange that churches
do not care to call men who are evil
IDENTIFY declining in vigor. But age
might as well be measured from the
PpA'At ~ N1ettii wen eio III III. N1N'lhI
men have more vitality, vigor and pow
er at sixty years of age than other
men have at thirty. They can do
more and will live longer.
Now as to some facts, The "Congre-
gregationalist" few years since stated
that hardly a corporate member of the
American Board was under fifty years
Anyone who attends national gath
ering of ministers will see that almost
all men of position and influence are
over fifty, not to mention men like Rev
DR.. Storrs. now about seventy-five, and
Lyman Abbott, sixty or more, and Drs
Behrends and Meredith, pastors of the
largest churches of Brooklyn, and who
are beyond fifty. Let few facts from
Connecticut appear. The pastors of the
First, the Second and the Asylum Hill
churches of Hartford have been in the
ministry from twenty-six to thirty
years; the pastors of the two Congre-
gational churches of New Britain, TWEEN
ty-three and twenty-eight years; the
pastor of the First church of Middle
town and of the First and Second
churches In Waterbury have been or
dained from twenty-seven to thirty
eight years; the pastors of the First
| church of New London, the Broadway
and Park in Norwich, have been or
dained thirty-one and thirty two years;
the pastors of the Second church, Green
wich, and the Second, Bridgeport, have
| been ordained twenty-six and twenty
nine years; the pastors of New Haven
are known to the people and their age
need not be mentioned. In brief, all the
| largest, strongest, richest and most in
| huentiaI churches in Connecticut, with
two or three exceptions, are supplied
with pastors who have been ordained
| from twenty-five to forty years and
who are now between fifty and seventy
years of age. Some of these men, too,
have but recently been called to their
pulpits. In Connecticut, at least, it is
not true that Congregational ministers
lose either their places or their power
at fifty years of age

HELPS no THRIFT.

National savings systems which en-
courage frugality by accepting small
sums, paying some rate of interest, and
having the credit of the government
are working well in European coun-
tries, For instance, in France the sys-
tenn has been found to be such power
full promoter of thrift and prosperity
that the original municipal savings
banks have been supplemented by the
general postal savings banks. Not&ith-
standing that the two have thus come
into competition there has been
steady growth in the number of depos-
it's in both. In the city of Paris alone
in 1898 over $4,000 depositors held ac-
counts in the local system, their depos-
its aggregating 16O,000,o00 francs. In
the national savings bank system the
Partisan depositors number just about
as many, and their deposits sprung
from 100000 francs in 1882 to about
S. 100000 francs in 1892. 1t is estimated
that in this way more than a million
Parisians keep accounts to their credit.
outside of Paris the French national
system has met with equal success, and
more than 335, 900 francs of savings
have been deposited. 1t is estimated
that, summing up the two systems.
savings bank account will be found for
every four and half people, or, in gen
eral terms, one for every family. In
Germany the publicly managed savings
banks, although placed in municipal
| control, have met with wonderful sue
cess. The Berlin branch, with it's many
| sub-stations, holds accounts with over
100000 savings depositors. Dresden,
Hamburg and the other cities carry a
| number of accounts wonderful in pro-
portion to their respective populations.
In one city it is estimated that every
| individual in the town, man, woman
and child, has bank account.
| An interesting extension of the saw
ings system of Italy has just been made
| by Signor Artom who has introduced
| there the penny-in-the-sl savings
bank, planting these receptacles here
and there in the towns and cities in
| places where the poor can find ready
access to them at all hours and where
they can make their deposits without
s:any delay or formality. The depository
| is an automatic bank consisting of a
castiron box or pillar in which there
are three apertures-one for the recep-
| ton of the coin, which is a ten centime
| piece; another for it's rejection if it is
false or of light weight, and from the
third receipt for the deposit is given
When number of these not less than
five, is collected, they may be exchang-
| ed for a book of the regular savings
bank. These pay interest at the rate
of per cent, and the depositors are
likewise entitled to share in the profits
which the bank derives from it's opera
lions. The plan had its origin in Padua
and has been extended to Milan and
4 other cities, promising to become popu-
lar all over the country. 1t has been
found a powerful incentive to thrift
| wherever it has been tried

ANOTHER SPIRI1,

1t now appears that the spirit which
prompted the furious and fantastic on
position to the erection of the Woolsey
statue on the Seniors playground was
not the spirit which the wiser Seniors
want to have recognized as the real
Yale spirit. So they are signing a pc
tition to the Corporation and Fellows
of the University in which they express
their deep regret for and hearty con-
demnation of the thoughtless action of
those who tried to interfere with the
erection of the statue" And they
"humbly and respectfully ask that
another place be chosen for the statue.
This is certainly more reasonable than
the incendiary action of the other day
That action was wild and revolution
airy. 1t did not take into account the
opinions and the rights OF Others and
the authority of the established gov
eminent. AT its best it was a foolish
protest against what was regarded as a
display a foolish tyranny. If such ac-
tion could succeed the real rulers of the
University would be those who engaged
81 it, which, of course, would never do.

FASHION NOTES.
A Miniature Bo,sun.

Here is a very swagger youngster
whose get-up is very like real sailor
in all particulars but size. He may
never be permitted to go near the wa
ter, but excepting his blouse pocket,
which the real sailor does not have,
and making a slight change in his
chevron, he becomes a full-f1edged boz
sun of the American navy. If the cor
rect chevron is wanted, let it be pair
of anchors crossed, topped by a "buz-
zard'' and mounted over the pair of
"v''s that show here. The rig should
be either blue or all white. If blue,
then collar and cuffs are finished with
three rows of eighth of an inch white
braid. The chevron is red, except the
buzZard which is white. The tie for
either the white or blue rig is a black
silk handkerchief. The shirt, yoke or
guernsey is plain and matches the suit
There is no stripe on the trousers and
the guernsey is often omitted, showing

but when the sailor laddie goes aloft
the grummet is taken out that the cap

If you want the laddie to be ship
shape" with the working-that is, the
white duck rig, a cap is not worn, but
instead there is hat of white duck
that is all of piece. 1t is stitched
about the brim, the crown being low
and soft. The chevrons can be bought
at any military outftters, and give the
final touch of correctness to the rig,
which can be easily made at home.
