 THE STOIy ON THE GREEN.

The performance on the Green yester- day was all that the advance agent said
 it would be, and more too. The more too was furnished by some of the young
 gentlemen of Yale, who made dis
 couraging and disgusting exhibition of
 bad manners, and showed a disregard
 credit to the University, New Haven
 and themselves. MT. Bryan has had some uncomfortable experiences during his windy and wordy tours, but we have read or heard of none more un- comfortable than his experience in New Haven. He must have thought that he had indeed struck "the enemys coun- try" He seemed to feel the discount esy and brutality of the young gentle men of Yale very deeply, and was pro-
 voked by them to say some things which did not ameliorate the situation,
 and which he could wisely have left
 unsaid But as he Is not engaged in
 talking wisely about the main question
 perhaps he could not fairly be expected to talk wisely about side issues.
 The impolite young gentlemen of Yale were not all that detracted from the eclat of MT. Bryan's appearance in
 New Haven. There were two of the
 best brass bands in the State on the
 Green, blowing and pounding their
 prettiest for the benefit of those who
 had hired them to take part in a mili- tary parade. These bands were not | intentionally interrupting, but they felt obliged to blow and pound just at the
 wrong time. Their music, combined with the discord of the young gentle- men of Yale, was too much for the Boy | Orator, and he finally retired as grace | fully as possible from an unpleasant and unequal contest. He would be | justified in looking back to New Haven | with bitterness, but we hope that after | he had last night, he will remember | that boys will be boys, and that brass bands will be brass bands. He can be
 assured that however much the people of this region differ with his notions,
 and it is very much, they are not in sympathy with any discourtesy that 1 was shown him.

 and it was probably much like other | crowds which have attended MT. Bry- ans progress. If 1t was the skill of his press agent and whooper-up is all that | it has been cracked up to be

THE LATEST PARIS CRAZE.

The last new craze in Paris is said to be the wearing of a lighted lantern as personal ornament. The fashion has not been adopted in honor of M. Roche fort, the once dreaded Lanterne-man,
 but originated with speculative man ufacturer, whose petites lanternes were bought by tens of thousands at the fair of Neuilly The lantern is very small and neat and made in Gothic form after an ancient model; it is only of tin, but is sufficiently solid; it has we'll fitted glass plat is about the size of a
 walnut, burns for some hours, and is sold at the price of six sous Almost everybody who returned from the fair to Paris on Sunday last, as a corres-
 pendent tells us, looked as if he were outwardly symbol.zing the Midsummer Saint, John the Baptist, "a burning and a shining light" The men and boys had the little lanterns in their hats, and the ladies carried them in their bouquets. ts.Westminster Gazette.

foremost representatives of its capital, enterprise, and pluck, are active par tiolpants in this new and unexpected movement, and that other go-ahead cities like Rome, Macon, Savannah, Columbus and Brunswick are furnish ing large quotas of the same class of citizens to the sound money campaign, Another fact worthy of notice is that the Republican party in the State has an electoral ticket this year composed entirely of white citizens, the venera- ble General Longstreet heading it. The cry of negro domination has ceased to be effective in Georgia, consequently that bugbear on which the Democratic leaders have long relied for the main- tenance of their control has lost it's power, and will never be raised again within the border of Georgia. The Bryanltes hope still to carry the State by the aid-strange as the proposition is to northern minds-of the African vote.

 from work he made some remark be- cause the dinner was not ready, An acquaintance had called and his daugh- ter said, Don't say anything, MT. London is here" MT. Mix called out,
 I don't care for London or Liverpool, want my dinner" He died in 1886. The old pine tree stood short dis | tance south of the house which was burned about twenty-five years ago after MT, Mix had moved away. That side of the tree was so baldy scorched
 that the branches and top finally died, leaving only one great limb on the south side. The heavy wind and rain storm Of Thursday, September 10, com ing from the north, brought the tree to
 the ground and it is now just as it fell. The house was rebuilt after the fire and

NO PURE GOLD IN IIsE

Gold. when refined from all impuri-
 ties" said well-known jeweler land
 alloys of inferior metals, is denomina-
 ted pure. This means means gold of twentyfour carats, and this is the
 standard recognized by the Mint mas
 ter and dealers in gold. As matter of fact, however, there is no gold so pure.
 Gold of twenty-two carats is about as
 pure as it can be got. It has two parts
 of silver or one part of silver and one part of copper. The copper darkens
 the color of gold while silver lightens it in color Twenty three carat gold is occasionally seen, which means a half carat each of silver and of copper Or dinarily eighteen carat gold is the best gold that can be had. Certainly it is the best for jewelry, for pure gold, as it is called. is too soft, and will wear away much faster than the owners of it desire. Washington Evening Star.

4 LIGHT IN EORGII.

The free silver craze, which has been so alarming and ominous, will turn out to be blessing in disguise. It has evoked a great deal of patriotism and noble and courageous action, and it has brought the sound and sensible people of this country together as nothing else has since the war. And if it results in breaking up the solid South, as it now seems likely to, the country can almost afford to congratulate itself on having had it. Some of the southern States are already regarded as sure for Mckinley and sound money, but what a surprise and joy it would be if Democratic old Georgia should finally appear in the Mckinley list. The sound money movement in that State is frightening the repudiators. Bankers, merchants and manufacturers of the State are uniting in an effort to de- feat Bryan, and if their combined eff forts will effect it, Bryan will not get the vote of Georgia. It is noteworthy that some three hundred If the most conservative business men of Atlanta.

FASHION NOTES,
Newness in Outsides,
honor,

The newest thing in outer garments IS the box coat, and it has already been on view for two seasons. The woman that a year ago last winter indulged in box coat, wore something that was just offered and distinctly new. Last winter the box was still novelty, not generally accepted, but still coming This winter it will have come and if you intend to put money into coat it would be foolish not to have it in some modification of the box pattern, for by next winter when the something quite different is just in sight, anything but the box or whatever is just in sight will seem out of style

Fancy capes have had even longer innings than the box coat but they are too pretty to be discarded yet An sketched in black taffeta covered with accordeon pleated black chiffon and set on a narrow round yoke which was hidden by the chiffon. It was trimmed with an overcape of black satin em- broidered with jet beads and vari- col ored spanglas, was arranged in two long tabs in front with shorter ones in back and had epauletes over the shoul- ders. The bottom of the cere was bordered with a wide chiffon ruffle put on with fluted head
 More simple capes than this pictured one are abundant, and the tailor-made affair, with strap seams and flared col lar will be perfectly safe selection. The good old golf pattern came to stay, and will be forever in style. No change of fashion can take the jaunti- ness from double-faced blanket af- fair with the cross straps in front and q handsomely shaped hood. Like the English travelling rug the golf cape has now the position of a standard ar- ticle, and it is well to have one for travelling and general use, but it is not wise to select one as the new cloak of this seasons purchase. Many of the tailor-made capes will show fur Things, and the shield front was found so cosy and warm last winter that it appears on many of the new cloaks. This is the front that provides for snug buttcning all the way down and then closes still more closely by an outside shield piece that entirely hides the buttons and protects the spaces between from the wind.

Has Been a Famous Land Mark Since
 1S43
 The Mix tree, so called, located about a quarter of a mile above Edgewood, long known as Porkville, on the road to the copper mine, is no longer standing. The tree, white pine, became famous in 1S43 when it was a magnificent vet eran of the forest. It stood in the door yard of Ashael Mix, who was an ardent believer in the doctrines of the Miller ties. They believed that October 10, 1S43, was fixed upon as the final day of the worlds history. The excitement was intense, there was large number of the Millerites in Bristol, and they held meetings at the houses of believ- CTS for a number of days previous to the expected event for solemn prepar- atory services. A short time after some one reported that MT. Mix had been seen clothed in white robes in the topmost branches of the old pine tree ready to be caught up to heaven when the last trumpet should sound.
 A picture of the tree and description was given in the Connecticut Quarter ly for the first quarter 1896 in the series of Trio and Tripod" by George H. Darlington. including the following: The fact in relation to the matter is simply that his we'll sweep, which was attached to the tree by an iron rod, was out of order and MT. Mix got up into the tree to fix it. He was clad in no robe of any kind except his every day habiliments, that part of the story

EMANUEL NINGER ARRESTED.
Supposed. to he the Most sl<iIlful PEN
man I'm the Country.

NEW YORK, April Emmanuel Ninger
was arrested tonight and confined in Lud-
low-street Jail in default of $4,000 bail. The
secret service agents Of the federal govern
men believe that they have solved the Sc
cret of this mysterious mans life and at
the same time have a counterfeiter who has
baffled all their efforts for seventeen years.
1t is case that has been handed down by
many retiring chief Of the secret service to
his successor. IL was In 1879 that the govern
ment detectives first began to hunt for a
penman who, by his painstaking handicraft
and skill. couli. with simple pen, ink and
paper. so successfully initiate a costly en-
graved United States greenback or bank
note that ii defied detection by
any except experts. They found traces
OF his work in many parts of the country.
but every time they thought they had a
definite clsw he would vanish and they would
be compelled to begin their chase all over
again. Agent George Bagge, of the secret
service, Is Of the opinion that Ninger Is the
man they have been looking for 50 long. Mr..
Bagge claims that Ninger has made con-
fession, and has surrendered the pens ink
and paper which ne used in making the
counterfeit bills. Ringer has lived on a
small farm near Flagtown, n. j., for years.
His neighbors noticed that he had strange
habit OF disappearing several times a year.
Occasionally he would be away from homs
for weeks at time, bur none of the village
gossps ever undertook to learn the reason.
