Hard Times Incre lsed the Sale of
Diamond Dyes - Black for Cotton,

1T is really marvellous" said a
Church street druggist, "how the hard
times have increased the sale Of dia-
mond dyes, Ladies' buy one package
as an experiment, and find the dye so
easy to use that they color all their old

especially popular: often sell half a

Diamond dyes are put up for every

even a child can dye a perfect color

FIRE YESTERDAY.
In a Student Boarding House,

Fire was discovered yesterday morn
ing at LAO in student boarding
house, 231233 York street. The fire
started in the sitting room of Clarence
Hulst on the fourth floor. The cause,
however is not known, but it is
thought that cigarette is responsible
for the blaze. The only damage done
by the fire was to the fourth floor and
attic, but it was SO quickly subdued
that it did not break through the roof.
The water did considerable damage, as
it leaked through to the first floor, loos-
ening plaster and soaking carpets. The
greatest loss is probably that of the
students, whose little knick- knacks and
furniture are of considerable value and
not insured.
The house and the furniture belong
ing to Edward Hubbell, who rented the
house, were all insured. The loss is
quite large. but cannot be estimated
closely. 1t will probably be in the
neighborhood of $1,000. Only one side
of the house was damaged, as neither
the flames nor water reached the part
occupied by Mrs. Corning, who has the
south side and also keeps student
| boarders. The house is owned by the
Morse estate

AN ATTRACTIVE COURSE
BY the New Haven University Exten

BY the New Haven University Extern
sion Center--Some of It's Features.
The New Haven University Extern
sion Center is presenting this year by
far the most attractive course as a
whole that it has yet been able to Sc
cure. Each season the lectures have
all been scholarly, and most of the
course attractive, too; but some have
not been so popular as others Profit
ling by experience the center this year
adopted the policy of disregardlng ex-
pense and securing lecturers who
should add to the indispensable quality
of scholarly excellence, the popular
qual1ties-ability to entertain as well
as instruct. Accordingly the course
by Prof. Winchester given last fall
cost twice as much as the regular ex-
tension courses, while the price of ,ad-
mission was made the same as before.
This course was eminently satisfactory
to all concerned. The audience was
simply delighted with the lecturer, and
the center was delighted with the au
dience, which was large enough to pay
expenses. The course to be given next
by Mrs Flint on Greek Art is expect
ed to be fully equal to Prof Win
chester's. The opinions of Mrs. Flint's
lecture in other places are entirely fa-
vorable. She is not only entertaining
as lecturer, but the illustrations are
the finest ever shown anywhere. All
the press notices call attention to this
fact. Titles of the lectures are as fol-
lows: 1, Early Greek Art. 2, The
Greek Temple and Its Decoration. 8,
Age of Pericles. A, Athens After Phei-
dias. 5, Second Attic School. 6, Sculp-
ture After Alexander the Great. The
lectures are to be given at the United
church chapel Wednesday evenings,
beginning January 10.
One feature of the present course will
be the class after the lecture, which
will enable those desiring to receive
personal instruction from Mrs Flint,
This is the first time that the Uni
versity Center has secured a lady as
lecturer, and as Mrs. Flint is recognize
4 ed as an authority upon this subject
! it is to be hoped that the lovers of art
in this city will avail themselves OF
the opportunity to attend this exceed
4 ingly instructive and entertaining
| course.

the engineer and fireman were made to get
down from the cab.
The robbers quickly jumped aboard and
took the engine and express car about two
miles further east, where they stopped and
compelled Express Messenger Williams to
open his car. He offered no resistance as
he carried no treasure. The robbers had
evidently intended to stop the St. Louis

they had captured contained nothing of

express messenger and went through his

After this they quickly left the train and

and was mated on the thirtieth move.
In the second game Capt. OFarreH de-
Tended with French defense. He opened
with a good game, and by skillful playing
won valuable pawn on his twenty-eighth
move. The appearances were much in his
favor. when Mr.. Walker, in few moves,
entirely reversed the situation and put the
captain on the Defensive The latter be-

spectators. The moves of the second game

United States Minister Woodford had a

that he assured Senior Mcret that the

the measures taken thus far by Marshal
Blanco.
The government has received, for the
queen regent, the cabled request of the
union constitutional party in Cuba that
her majesty decline to sign the DEGREES es-
tablishing autonomy in the island. But
the request will be ignored, and the action
o. the party is regarded as unimportant if
the government decides to carry out its
program loyalty and sincerely.

in the course of which he said
1--WE are confronted with the fact that
the development so far has not been en-
tirely symmetrical The building of our
warships has outstepped not only the build
ing of dry docks, but even the gathering of
a suitable quantity of projectiles, especially
of powder.
Secretary Long has from the beginning
aimed to remedy these needs. We need
large increase in the force, both of Off
GERS ard enlisted men, but the most crying
need of the navy at the moment is the
need of first-class dry docks. Next comes
the need for an ample quantity of smoke
less powder and projectiles. We cannot get
the best results with our excellent guns IL
we do not have the proper ammunition to
Tut in them, and at present the supply or
smokeess powder is Insignificant.
I'VE need a powerful fighting navy, a
navy including an ample numoer of torpedo
boats an ample force OF seagoing battle
ships and also armored cruisers, which
should possess great coal endurance and, In
addition, carry an abundance OF heaVy
rapid-tiring guns Our deficiency in torpe-
do boats is particularly marked. III We nave
