 Son-A Noted Educator.
 The death of James D. Whitmore, formerly principal of Hillhouse High Bradley street, at 1:30 this morning. MT. Whitmore was sixty eight years of time.

Before the beginning of school in the following September MT.

Thomas He served two terms on the board of aldermen. representing the Eighth ward.
 MT. Whitmore had been sufferer for some time, but the end was hardly evening he called at the Journal and Courier office and said that he was feel ing very poorly. He said, There is
 never a moment but what I am in pain" During his conversation that evening he spoke of Hillhouse high
 school with much interest and left a
 communication regarding the school
 which was published in Friday morn- ing's issue. In that communication he said, among other things:
 If New Haven for the next five years would withhold all her carping
 criticisms of our schools and school
 officials, and in every possible way aid
 and support those who are endeavor- ing to give us better schools old Hill- house. would be more highly regarded in the community and state than ever before and its marked excellencies and high character would be known throughout the land, attracting many l desirable residents to our city.'

RAIN VERSUS SERMON.
Former CompeIs Rev. MT. Hall to Give Up the Latter When Near Thirdly.


 The Rev. A. M. Hall has the un- preached thirdly of sermon in his possession, its companion firstly and secondly having been preached yester- day.
 The reason of this somewhat unique incident is as follows: Rev. Mir. Hall had been announced as the preacher for yesterday at the popular o'clock outdoor services on the green. There was also a shower at half-past four o'clock, which, although unannounced. secured the right of way when it got there
 A good crowd was present to take in the sermon, and the preacher started tory remarks to the effect that man was the greatest of earth's creation, he took Paul as a typical example of a man, and the words of Paul, T have fought good fight; I have finished my course; I have kept the faith" as his text
 Dividing the text into three heads. MT. Hall spoke eloquently of the good fight the apostle Paul had run under the first head and the race that he had run was comprised under the second Enlarglng on his theme, he compared the world to a battlefield, or race course, and every one as a soldier or runner.
 Every one was deeply interested and becoming more so. It seemed a pity but just here, as, the preacher was rounding the curve and about to strike the open track of thirdly, the unan- nounced rain began to fall in big drops completely drowning out the sermon and congregation. There was no need of the benediction to dismiss the con. gregation; they sought cover without dismissal.
 Rev. MT. Hall will try again next Sunday and it is to be hoped that the weather and sermon will not conflict.

The Danger of a Confagration the

Not long ago there was fire in a
hotel in Florida, says the Detroit Free

from what the management claimed
was a defective hue, which filled the
house and aroused the startled guests.

the Office and back to his room three
times, but it never occurred to him
that silk hat and night dress were
an incongruous combination. AS he
shot up the stairs, on the third landing
he was stopped by little old lady,
who wore sack and an old-fashioned
poke bonnet.

"What is it?'' he asked.
"Would you-could you be SO kind

around them apparently to save their
lives.

Of the coffin and say: ''Let me out.

The janitor dropped his hammer and
ran IN terror from the room. He said
he had seen an eye move as the words

1t was only after "Billy" had delib-

SALMON CULTURE.

Mysterious Failure of the Effort to-
Stock the Atlantic Coast streams.
An interesting review of salmon fish
conditions in this country is made in
a report of the United States fish COM
mission on artificial propagation Of
salmon on the Pacific coast, says the
Washington Star. The conclusion
reached is that, although nature evil
IDENTIFY has designed that the quinnat
salmon shall not take up its abode
on the American shores of the Allan
tic, it's breeding serves legitimate
and valuable purpose in maintaining
the supply Of it's species in it's native
waters on the Pacific slope. This is
made apparent by the enormous drafts
on these fish by the canneries. The
report says the Battle Creek station
of the California state commission
may soon pass into the charge OF the
United States. This is the most ex-
traordinary place for collecting quin-
nat salmon eggs known. It is said 20,-5
100000 salmon eggs can be taken on
Battle creek in six weeks of a fayora-
bic year. Salmon are on the increase
in the Sacramento and McCloud riv-
ers. 1t was the intention of the COM
mission to increase the salmon on the
Atlantic coast by restocking its de-
pleted salmon rivers. After millions
of salmon eggs were safely trans
ported to the Atlantic rivers no one
doubted that salmon were going to be-
come abundant again in the Atlantic
rivers, and many believed that several
southern rivers that had never had
salmon in them before would now be-
come prolific salmon streams. The re-
suit was great surprise and disap-
| pointment. The eggs Matched out; the
young fry grew rapidly, and were OBJ
served to go down in vast numbers to
the sea. What became Of them will
remain forever mystery. Some
! thought they wandered to the far
| north, others that they strayed out
into the ocean and were devoured by
marine animals and larger fish. The
report lays it down as no longer open
| to question that Quinnat salmon, at
| least those that spawn long distance
from the ocean, never return to it
alive again. They all die on their
spawning grounds.

Carrying Out Instructions.

There was a young man whose So
cial education had been somewhat neg
lected, and it CHANGED that he received
an invitation to church wedding.
The morning of the ceremony found
him quite excited, and he started for
the church some time before, as he
would have said, "the show was billed
to come off.
Under his arm he carried small
bundle, and before he had proceeded
far he met friend.
Hello said the friend, "and where
are you going all dressed up at this
time in the morning."
Wedding answered the young man
briefly and proudly.
Indeed? Going to do some errands
on the way?'
Certainly not
But you are not going to wedding
with bundle under your arm?''
