RETURNED FROM EUROPE.
Satisfaction Felt at McKinley's Elec-

Satisfaction Felt at McKinley's Elec-
ton in Vienna.
S. G. Pease, of the firm of Thomas
H. Pease & Son, booksellers and news
dealers on Church street, has recently
returned from a very enjoyable two
months trip in Europe, a large part Of
which was spent in Vienna, Austria,
with his brother, Captain William B.
Pease, a retired captain of the United
States regular army.
Captain Pease visited this country
last summer, spending several months
here. Since retiring from the regular
army Captain Pease and his family
have lieved in Europe, part of the time
in Germany, but the past few years in
Vienna.
He says that the news of McKinley's
election was received with great salts
factionin financial and banking circles
in Vienna and was regarded as a great
victory for sound. The news was re-
ceived in Vienna the day after the
election and the Vienna newspapers
showed good deal of enterprise in
printing the results, comparing quite
favorably with American papers in this
respect.

BICYCLES FOR 1897.

Slight Changes in the New Patterns
From Last Years Wheels-New Mod
els Will be on the Market the Latter
Part of December.
Many bicycle riders are wondering
what changes from last seasons wheels
will be made in the new 1897 models
Local dealers say that the new wheels
will be on the market by the latter
part of December. 1t is said by the
dealers that there will be a tendency
next season to put more larger tube
machines on the road. Last season
the tubing ranged from 11s to IA inch,
with considerably more of the former
used. The tubing for next season will
probably not be larger than IL inch, as
a rule, but more of these than of the
smaller tubes.
1t is said by those who know that
there is a tendency among manufactur-
ers of '97 patterns of wheels to flush
joints and also to arrange crank axles,
the most of these latter being trappy.
There is also a tendency this year to
finish wheels in a variety of colors
Handlebars come in for many novel
ties, but the last season shapes will be
generally preserved.

A SUCCESSFUL MAN.
From Carrier Roy to the Superintendency
of Vast Mandatory.


of Vast Mandatory.
Clarence G. Ames, republican candi-
date for fire commissioner, is a native
of New Haven, born here forty four
years ago, and is in the best sense of
the phrase self made man. His ia
Their, Mr.. William B. Ames, patriotic
and estimable citizen, served in the war
in the Fifteenth c. ", which was large
ly a New Haven regiment He was
one of the unfortunate Union soldiers
who were inmates of Libby prison, and
who, owing to sufferings in that terri
bic prison pen, returned home at the
dawn of peace a physical wreck. His
son, Clarence, owing to his fathers
continued ill health, obtained employ
ment early in his teens in order to
contribute to the maintenance of the
family, and when thirteen years old, he
became route carrier for the journal
and Courier" and so well did he fill the
place that he won the high commenda-
ton from his employer, and an assur-
ance, when he gave up the place, of a
y
desire employment again. Shortly af-
ter, in 1868, Mr.. Ames went to work in
the packing room of the l.. Candee &
Co. mandatory, and he has continued
in the employ of this company ever
since for a period of % years, working
himself up step by step through differ
ent departments until he has reached
the very responsible post of general su-
perintendent. From the packing room
Mr. Ames was promoted to the ticket
office, where he held the position of
time-keeper and paymaster. From
thence he was promoted to be foreman
of the making department, next to be
assistant superintendent, and finally to
the SUPPLEMENTARY.
When Mr.. Ames first entered the
Candee factory the company employed
about 500 hands. To-day they employ
LOO. Their daily production in the
days when he first joined the force was
1000 pairs of boots and shoes, and this
was considered as great days work
as is now $4,000 pairs. The plant has
grown, and Mr.. Ames has grown with
it. AS superintendent he has shown
notable executive ability, having a
wide knowledge Of the various phases
of human nature, and has always dis
played admirable Judgment and saga
city
1t is interesting to note in this con-
rection that an uncle of Mr. Ames', Mr.
George Porter, was one of a corps of
skilled men who were selected for the
purpose and went to Paris France,
where they gave the necessary drill
ing and instruction requisite to the es-
tablishment of big rubber boot and
shoe manufacturing plant established
by capitalists in that city.
Mr.. Ames is a member Of the Young
Mems Republican club, Quinnipiac
lodge, 7. Q. Q. f. and Golden Rule En-
campment, and is a charter member of
the K. A. E. O. He is democratic in
manner, a pleasant companion, and
would make most worthy accession
to the board of fire commissioners

NEW HIsronIo soorErrEs.
Two New Societies Are About Being Es-
tablished in This City.

1t will be of interest to a large num-
Der in this city to know that two new
historic societies are soon to be estab-
lished in this city-first descendants
of settlers of the colony of New Haven
as late as 164S."
1t is hoped that all of the descend
ants of the settlers VIII send in their
names and pedigree to the secretary.
There are some forty of such in the
town. No one will be made" unless
he bears the name of the settler. No
collateral branches will be considered.
Second, descendants of those who
took part in the expedition against the
Swedes in 1912"
Many of such descendants are living
here, as Fem, Trowbridge, Baldwin,
Goodyear, Eaton, etc, AS in the for
mer society, only those who bear the
original name will be admitted to mem
bership
1t is hoped that both societies can
dine at the Waldorf on the anniversary
of the first battle at Delaware Bay in
1912, as on that day the descendants Of
the Dutch contingent dine at the same
place. At the dinner the old "Gusta-
vus Punch Bowl is to be used for the
first time since the dinner given to Kos
suth in 1850.

YOUNG MEMS REPUBLICAN CLUB

After the meeting of the Young Mems
Republican club Tuesday evening, the
committee on debate held q, meeting to
arrange the preliminaries for this win
ter's debating.
1t was decided to being at once, and
Friday evenings were selected as the
evenings for debates, 8 o'clock as the
time, the same as last year. The first
meeting, to adopt constitution and
elect officers, will be held this week
Friday at s p. m. All members of the
Young Mems Republican club are urged
to he present.
The debating last year was very sue
cessful. The officers of the club feel it
to be an instructive and useful feature.
Probably, as was so successfully done
last year. a banquet will be held under
the auspices of the debating organiza-
ton, after the years work is well under
way, or after it's completion.

been chosen for the Patriarchs, the as

Pile win be heard. AT the first of the

postponed, has been repaired, and is
now in perfect working order for the
display of motion pictures. The ma

the Wonderland next Monday, and will

was had last evening, which showed
the machine again to be in perfect
working order. 1t will not be placed
