To-day if both 'Lanky Bob" and "Pompadour Jim" are well, if neither
 loses his pluck. if both their managers
 think it will pay, if the weather is suit
 able and if there is not a general row
 in Carson the much-advertised prize fight will take place and we shall know
 who is "the better man" of the two good men" who are now irritating one
 nations eye and doing some business
 in the eyes of several other nations. The whole performance is a very in-
 proving one and indicates how vastly
 superior our civilization is to other civilizations. This superiority is to be found in the fact that one of the States
 of this great, glorious and free country has taken pains to provide that the fight can be legally pulled off" within | its borders in order to encourage 8 noble art and incidentally gather in
 what money can be gathered in from a l crowd of sports and toughs, It is to be l found in the fact that the winner will | make more money in few minutes
 than a Spanish bull-fighter will make
 in year. It is also to be found in the | fact that almost all the newspaper
 ''moulders of public opinion" in the country have for several weeks been | busily moulding public opinion by
 means of pictures of the prize-tighters,
 their opinions of themselves and each
 other, the opinions of other prize i fighters concerning them, themselves
 and each other, and solemn disserta- | tions by sporting editors. Some of our | leading schools have unofficially shown their interest in the affair, and the flags
 of two of them may be in the ring to- day with L. Bob and P. Jim. Public
 opinion has been so moulded that all over the land to-day, if the fight
 comes off according to the programme
 there will be eager crowds around the
 bulletin boards, in the theatres and at
 other places where information of the progress of the great event can be had
 And the newspapers that have the best
 accounts of the fight this evening or
 tomorrow morning will be looked upon
 as the best newspapers by large ma
 jority of the citizens
 Such is the state of civilization in a l great republic at the end of the nine teenth century. It is encouraging, if the view is taken that we might all be prize-fighters instead of all being ab-
 sorbed in and betting on the doings of two prize-ighters.

Yp Are Gods!

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 To men who do not identify them selves with their bodies, who know the mind uses the brain as an instrument and is not evolved by the brain, the Theosophica1 teaching about mind may be of interest.
 Man, as to his four lower principles, is but an animal-the highest of the animals. In a former paper it was stated that mind, the human soul, is of a godlike nature Theosophy teaches that the human soul sends as much of it's divine light as the animal soul Cor desire principle) is capable of receiving, to dwell with it in the physical body The best illustration of this which I have met with is that of a magnet and a bar of iron. The bar of iron in con- tact with the magnet receives a certain amount of magnetism. The magnet seems to have lost nothing, and the bar of iron has become temporarily mag net. In the bar of iron the magnetism is not in one part more than in another but has impressed every atom with it's own nature. So the human soul loses nothing in emanating and the animal soul is impressed in every portion with the light sent forth.
 In the physical body, of which every atom is eneTgized by the universal force called life, built up on the design body, dwells the animal soul, every portion of which is impressed by the emanation from the mind. The light of mind in tensifies the desires of the lower soul,

The City Charter.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Anyone who desires good city govern ment must be depressed by the treat ment of the proposed charter. It must be plain to all men who have studied the subject that New Haven is far be- hind most cities in respect to municipal administration. Our government is full of petty abuses, of waste of ineftfcien- cy, of responsibility. The whole sys- tenn is antiquated and outworn. We need at once a city charter which shall provide for business-Iike, economical, efficient government of the city

NOT 4 VTID WESTEHN IDEA.

It is possible that even New England can learn something from "out West, v where the people are not so hide-bound that they run away from a new idea. A new idea, and apparently good one, has struck some of the towns of the Western Reserve and 1t is being acted on. It first cropped out in Kingsville, Ohio. This town formerly had seven school districts. These districts have now beef abolished, and their little school houses abandoned, and in their stead there has been built at the cen ter of the town a fine two-story brick school house where the pupils of the divided up into grades as in the public schools of larger places. To secure this result free transportation had to be provided by the town. Bids are called for each year from private parties to furnish such transportation in uniform ly built covered spring wagons which
 seat about twenty-five pupils each and which can be opened in pleasant wealth
 CT and closed in stormy. These wagons drive over the township each school day, picking up the pupils from the re- motest quarters in the morning and re- turning them after school hours. The driver sounds horn as he approaches each house, and if the scholar is not
 mark is placed to the pupils account. So effective is this method of promoting
 punctuality that only one case of tardi-
 ness is reported from the outlying dis tricts since the system was established
 over two years ago.
 The advantages of the plan are said | to be numerous. It is more economical Only five teachers are now required | where seven were necessary, and bet ter teachers can be secured than was possible under the isolated and ill-ad- justed district system. The grading of the pupils of course permits of more efficient school management and in- struction over the old plan where pupils of all ages and degrees of advancement
 were packed into some way-off little
 school house and divided up into twen- ty odd classes, all trying to study and
 recite in the same little room. In place of badly heated and badly ventilated
 district school houses, well ventilated rooms of more even temperature in the one large building are provided, and protection from the weather and wet
 roads in transportation to and from
 school is said to have had a marked effect on the health of the children. A
 much higher average of school attend
 ance has been secured. And finally it is asserted that the cost for the whole
 town of maintaining the schools has
 been reduced by the new system more
 than one-third. The transportation is
 secured at a cost of not exceeding $1.O5 l a day for coaches and drivers.
 Better schools at less expense are
 worth having anywhere. This western , idea is worth careful attention in Con-
 necticut, where there is need of saving
 money, even if the schools cannot be bettered.

FISHIOY NOTES.
The Colorings of New silks.

The new silks show a solid ground in dark color, black, blue, brown or green, and over this ground are thickly strewn tiny dots of a brilliantly con trasted color as scarlet, bright green or turquoise blue, A gown made with 8 skirt of such material may show a waist to match the brilliant color while the sleeves are of the darker shade of the ground, Lace may be added stretched smoothly over the silk match ing the ground of the silk Stock, tips at the sleeve, and perhaps dash of bright color in facing or at the belt, will complete the effect.

Bright cheerful colors always pre- vail in house and morning dresses, but just now there is a marked tendency toward brilliant hues, reds taking the lead. The pretty morning dress shown to-day, for example, was in flame-col- ored nuns yelling trimmed freely with bands of white insertion. Besides yer tical bands of insertion, there was for skirt trimming a ruffle of the goods about the hem, and the bodice had a V-shaped lace yoke both in back and in front, The collar of the goods was trimmed with lace, and the long sash was crossed with insertion, huge jet buckle holding it. Wrinkled sleeves of the nuns yelling had small puffs at the top.
 Though attractive shirt waists are shown in great numbers, it is hardly a good time to buy. The really new ones are very expensive, besides being in a sense experimental, and then the mar ket is flooded with others that may be styled new and yet that arouse the suspicion that they are mussy ones from last seasons stock Of course there will be no keeping the herd away from the bargain counters that will be organized to get rid of left over stock, but don't join the herd The new waists are to be very plain and not transparent, and will have collars and cuffs to match rather than of white linen. Tucks and other trimming will be horizontal and not up and down, and buttons will either not show or else will be very large pearl ones set far apart. Studs will only be worn on dress occa- sions.
