FOR ARgIEYTA.


 The speech of Mir. Joseph Chamber lain on the relations of England and the United States, especially with reference to joint action in Turkey for the help of the Armenians, is altogether the most notable utterance that has yet been made in England on the subject. From his position as Colonial Secretary, MT, Chamberlain may be understood to re- fleet the opinions of the English govern ment. His wish that the Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes might wave together in some common cause of hu- manity, and in the promotion of the demands of humanity in Turkey, will not be a novel suggestion to those who recall the resolution adopted at the Ar- menian meeting in Center church.
 This policy, which MT. Chamberlain, speaking from high place of authority. invites, has already found earnest ad- vocates in this city, who have sought to press it upon Congress.
 The Sun suggests that MT. Chamber lain may have Intentionally let the cat out of the bag, and that official corre- spondence looking to am understanding between this country and England with regard to the Armenian massacres may already have taken place. Private ad- vices received by gentlemen in this city who have been urging this policy indi- cate that our government may have been more active in pressing the claims of Americans in Turkey than appears on the surface, and the Suns intima- ton may turn out to rest on some basis of fact.
 England and America fighting, if need be, together for humanity, would look better than England and America de- stroying each other for the sake of nothing of any human importance.

he Chinese.

Judge Morrow of the United States district court in San Francisco decided, a few days ago, that a Chinese born in this country is a citizen of the United States, and as such may leave and re- turn to this country at any time he pleases. The decision was made in the case of a Chinaman who arrived in San Francisco from China recently and was debarred from landing by the collector, on the ground that he was laborer, and as such barred out by the exclusion act. The Chinaman was born in San Francisco, and had been to China on a visit. The United States district attor- ney argued that a Chinese could not be a citizen of this country, even though born hete, under the fourteenth amend ment to the constitution. Judge Nor row ruled that a Chinaman born here is a citizen of the United States within the meaning of the citizenship clause of the fourteenth amendment, even if he is not a citizen of any state. The case will be appealed to the United States supreme court,

The latter village is opposite the ruins of the an- cient town of Olbia, a description of which has been given by the ''Father of History" Herodotus, wherein he states it to be surrounded by a wall with many towers, and distinguished for it's extensive trade and the civiliza- tion of it's inhabitants.
 The Listok states that the curator has found the traces of the ruins oi this ancient and historical capital.

THINGS TO ROPE FOR.

sTIope springs eternal in the human breast'' 'tis said. And this country of ours is capital place to live in and to hope in. There are young hopefuls to whom the very pleasant prospect of excellent skating, now offered, affords joy unspeakable, provided they own There is hope to-day in Wall street. The bulls and bears have been strug- gling for weeks for the mastery and there have been ups and downs, prin- cipa1ly downs, until now. At the pres ent time the bulls appear to be showing the most strength, they being aided by an improving condition of things among which are the prospects that the bond issue will be satisfactorily placed and that the Venezuelan question will be settled without recourse to the use of cannon, Winchester rifles or other weap- ons of war by the two great English speaking Christian nations.

 is hope, rather faint to be sure, that the lawmakers in Congress will provide some way this year of raising sufficient revenue to enable the United States to pay all its January, July and other little bills without floating bond issues and getting deeper in debt. Then also there is hope that the politicians will hear to the warnings of sound finan- ciers and provide adequate means for placing the finances of the country on a sound gold basis and for shelving the irresponsible silverites and populists who, represented by handful in num- Der in the United States Senate, hold the balance of power as regards the very important matter of the conduct of the nations finances. There are hopeful signs that after the next presi- dential election democratic rule will give place to good sound republican rule under which the nation paid off an immense debt and attained a grand degree of prosperity.

4 MUCH NEEDED HOSPIT4L.

New Haven is not the only city des- titute of a hospital for contagious dis- eases. There is an exceedingly large. and greatly noted city, named New York, which all have more or less heard of, which is likewise deficient in this respect. New Haven has had all important meeting which added to the awakening of public sentiment on the subject, but nothing further has yet been done in the matter. although the project will not be allowed to sluanfber. New York is at last to have a hospital for contagious diseases, but this has ben brought about by the munificence of a woman, and some of her friends, who have raised $1Oo,OOO for the purpose. New York now proposes to lease land upon which the hospital can be erected. The following on the sub- ject from the New York Times of yes- terday, has special interest here, at this time:
 "A hearing was granted on Thursday by the committee on cities of the sen ate on the bill authorizing a lease of land by the city of New York for the erection of a hospital for the treatment of scarlet fever and diphtheria. This lot of land is immediately adjacent to the present Willard Parker hospital. which for many years has received and cared for @ limited number of cases of these diseases. The erection of the new hospital will provide accomnoda- ton for such patients as may from time to time be sent from hotels, apartments, or private dwellings, suffering from either scarlet fever or diphtheria.
 It has long been reproach to the city of New York that no provision existed at any of our hospitals for the recep- tion of this class of cases. The Willard Parker hospital has alone opened its doors for their reception, and there. in a public ward, so long as a bed was vacant, patients of all classes Of society were eindiscriminatelyca for.

such dress, that she keeps flour handy, and whenan especially to-be-at- tracted caller comes she turns back her gown from her elbows, and lets her maid dust her pretty arms with flour. Then she runs into her little morning room and says, T can only stay min ute, or my biscuits will fall" It is claimed by those who pretend to know that if a man does not do something really worth while in such minute he isn't . worth much thought. Such tricksters havethese dresses short and wear pretty stockings and low slippers with buckles. Red shoes? No! for the plan is to dress to appear as if it was not put on for effect.
 The prettiest gown Of this sort is made of pink striped cotton. The bod ice is swathed about the figure, which allows a white, pointed chemisette. A fichu of spotless muslin outlines the chemisette and disappears under a stiff belt, only to emerge again in pair of long scarf ends that hang almost to the knees. All trickery aside, or reserved for those who know no better, these dresses are preferable to a lazy looking, beruff1ed lounging gown.

 THE DIPLOMAT WlS COLD,
He Hadn't Horse Sense Enough to Kuow the Remedy Was at Hand.
 (From the Washington Post)

(htom the NaHnlngton Ipstl
 A member of the house, who has served on the foreign affairs committee and who has often come in contact, and still comes in contact, socially, with many of the diplomats, remarked yes terday:
 T have just had a remarkable proof of the fact that our South American neighbors lack good deal of what we call horse sense in Anglo-Saxon 1t was furnished by one of the ministers of one of the South American republics now in Washington. He is intelligent and hard headed enough generally speak ing, but he fell down completely in re- gard to very simple matter, heating register
 He occupies a fine residence in a fashionable part of the city. The cold snap came on, and the minister began to shiver and freeze in his own house. He endured it in patience for two weeks, The other day he sent for the landlady.
 "'Ah. madame, he began in his char acteristic accent and with despair in every line of his face, 'ah, madame, l cannot stand de house, 1t ees simply 'orreeble-dees cold! An, I am wretch ed-my wife, she is wretched, de ole 'ouse old ees freezing to dead. I haf sect up in dat corner, a Turkish roog around my shoudlers-so-and yet l cannot keep warm.

 "'There are two registers here. Do you know how to work them?
 "'Werk dem?' exclaimed the minister 'Ow? I nevair touch dem, nevair.'
 Don't you turn the little brass knob when you want heat, and push it the other way when it gets too warm? asked the landlady.
 "'No!' exclaimed the minister, in a high, long drawn breath of helpless sur prise, looking exceedingly puzzled. | What I know bout dat? All know is dat die of de 'opreeble colt "'Well, said she perhaps that ex- plains it. You see this little brass thing | in the register?
 "I see dat leetle brass ting in de l regeester, yes. Vell?'
 | "'Well. all you need to do is to push it this way. See how 1t is done?'
 "A hot wave of air suddenly shot up into the diplomats face as he bent over the register to study the mechanism, He almost screamed with joy as he saw | the simple process of converting his ice chamber into aatropical hot house, and the landlady had narrow escape from being hugged to death.
 And for two weeks concluded the congressman, "the minister had swathed himself in Turkish rugs and California blankets in a. desperate attempt to keep from freezing to death. It had never occurred to him or to his Irish butler, or
 the rest of his household, to push the
 button in the regster."

The herder says he was passing clump of bushes when the lions jump ed out and sprang on the Hanks of his horse He managed to throw himself off the animal and made for the tree. He had only a. shotgun with him and had just emptied it on the brutes, which were worrying the horse, when two oth- CT men rode up and opened fire on the lions The, beasts started off, but were chased, and all four were shot.

Dresses for Afternoon and Morning.


 An original design for an afternoon dress is shown below, and was carrled out in the original in novelty suitlng or violet shade, with nlauve silk for the front panel of the skirt, for the tiny panels at the hips and for the vest and sleeve caps At the three last named parts there were black cord loops and buttons. The bodice crossed in front in sunplice fashion, but was pointed front and back, and the sleeves were shirred into the caps at the shoulder. Above all there was stock collar of the silk, with losettes at either side.
 Dresses for morning wear, for women whose household cares really rest light ly upon them, but who do not wish to confess the fact frankly, are planned to convince the unsuspecting observer that the wearers are the daintiest sort of conscientious housewives.

Speaking of MT. Gladstone at Biarritz, an English paper says: ''He is hardly noticed; not a soul appears to be in any way anxious to see him, and the only thing that has aroused a little interest in his person is the news from South Afriea, and the recollection that he was the chief reltrocessionist of the Trans vaal and the modifier of the suzerainty clauses afterward.''

They are all well, ac- tive, possess the best of health, have sound minds, memory, and understand ing. There are many remarkable cir cumstances connected with the lives of these people, particularly the fact that both father and mother died at an early age, both parents being the victims of consumption. Abel Wilkinson, q Welsh man, died in 1928, at the age of AS, and his wife, Deborah, a German, died in 1882. at. the age of 52.
