THE HANDSOME MEMS AISLE.

It has been observed that most of the women prefer to get seats where they can command view of the center aisle Each aisle, by the way, has it's distinct i've characteristics, ,even though the.mem- bers are supposed to be seated according to lot. The aisle on the speakers right, for instance-this session as last-is the stamping ground of the democratic lead CTS; that on the left, of the republican forensic chieftains. But the aisle in the center, this year at least, may be called the handsome mems aisle. Taking both sides, there's E. H. Hotchkiss of Torring- ton, Rev MT Upson of Washington, ex Mayor Briggs of Mlddletown, Major T. Attwater Barnes of New Haven, c. J, Parker of New Britain, G. H. Hall of Bristol, s.

Notwithstanding we have 8 state law, beside town vote, saying bicycles shall not be run on the sidewalks, never has there been so many as thIs year. "Old men and maidens, young men and chill dren'' are tswhistled'' to clear the way for those who seem to think they have the exclusive right. Not only during the day, but evenings are especially danger ous to pedestrians, many having no Ian. terms to announce their approach, noth. ing but the bell tells of danger and one has to stop and look to. see where they are and whither they are tending. It is not confined to children, but many ''eIec- torsn are to be seen among them. It not only endangers life and limb, but, is very annoying and unpleasant and should be stopped.

SAN FRANCISCO A SEA OF COLOR.
Decorations in Honor of Christian En-

San Francisco, July 5.-The broad area
of this city is sea of color, the decora-
tive ribbons of the Christian Endeavor
societies, the Stars and Stripes and the
bunting in honor of the national holt
day floating in the breeze in mingling
waves of blue and gold, purple and white
with the motto of the Young Peoples Or
ganization on every hand.
Early today ten special trains contain
ing So cars and 2172 passengers, arrived
over the Southern Pacific from Santa
Fe alone.
Several distinguished delegates are al
ready here, including John Willis Baer,
general secretary of the organization,
who came this morning, and Tamil
Evangelist David of Ceylon, who has
made the trip from his Singalese home
specially to attend the convention.
From now to the close of the conven.
ton, members of the reception commit
tee which number 1000, will meet every
arriving train and be. at hand and escort
the visiting delegates to the convention
hall, in the Mechanics pavilion. :
The railroad companies are at a loss to
find accommodation for all the cars which
will arrive this week. They expect to
have the yard at West Oakland filled to
its fullest capacity as well as every avail
able side track, between Oakland, Niles
and Port Costa. Over 500 PullmanRscar

New York Sixty Years Ago.

WG. H. H. in New York Evening
Post.'O
In August, 1885, the time at which my
acquaintance with New York commenced,
the city had less than 300, 900 inhabitants;
it's business was all below Canal street.
while it's wholesale merchants and jobbers
had their stores in the neighborhood of
Hanover Square and the lower parts of
Pearl, William and Water streets-the last
named being chiefly occupied by those
engaged in the hardware and crockery
trade There would have been no market
for bric-a-b rac in those days. The shipping
merchants and chambers were mostly in
Front and South streets New York, even
then, circumscribed as were its geographi-
cal limits and sparse as were its inhabi-
tants, when viewed from our present
standpoint, was still great city. Espec-
tally did it wear that aspect to youth
born in a small English village, who,
though always within thirty-six miles of
the British metropolis, had never been
more than twenty-o ne miles from his
birthplace and had never seen town of
more than 5000 inhabitants until he went
to London, three days before he sailed
from st. Catharine's Docks for his adopt
ed home 1t was, indeed, to him Hgreat

star of fiery red color in this respect re-
sembling the planet Mars. IN fact, the
word Antares means ''the rival of Mars, -
Ares being the Greek name for Mars. 1t
is fine double star, with a green COM
panion, which, however, cannot be seen
with small telescope. The second
brightest star is on the top of the "kite, -
and not far from it we see the planet
Saturn, whose proximity enhances the
intrinsic beauty of the constellation.
Somewhat northwest of Scorpio we see
two fairly bright stars constituting the
principal members of the constellation
Libra, and northwest of Scorpio and
Libra a long curve of stars convex toward
the last named constellation marks the
extensive constellation of Serpens or the
Serpent. The head of the reptile is easily
recognized by three stars forming a small
isosceles triangle. The serpent is held by
Ophiuchus, sometimes called by its Latin
name, Sepentarius or the 'Serpenthold-
er," the Greek word meaning the same
thing. The head Of the latter is marked
by another somewhat larger isosceles
triangle, north Of the middle of the Ser
pent. The northernmost vertex of this
triangle is Alpha Ophuichi or Ras
Alhague. The constellation commemorate
ed Aesculapius, the god of medicine.
North of Ophiuchus lies the large and fine
constellation Hercules, whose most salient
features consist of a quadrilateral, and
south of it somewhat larger triangle OF
stars. The southernmost vertex of this
triangle is the star Alpha, or Ras Algethi.
The constellation Hercules has special
interest for us, as it has conclusively been
proved that the sun, with all it's splendid
retinue of planets and satellites, is sailing
toward a point in that constellation, the
right ascension of which is nearly 1Sh.
and declination 81 degrees, and which i S
called the HaDeX of the SUMS Way - The
Northern Cross and Tyre, with the beau
tiful star Vega, are high up in the eastern
sky, while toward the southwest the
noble star Arcturus rivals with Saturn in
splendor. The heavens present altogether
a fine appearance we'll worthy of contem-
plation in the warm summer nights of
July.-Baltimore Sun.
