tury ago, Bishop Turner. in the inter ests of his race, has visited Liberia several times, and while he thinks it is no place for "shiftless. no-account ne groes," he says it offers the greatest asylum on earth to the self-reliant, in- dustrious black man" A tremendous emigration to Liberia in the near tu- ture, the bishop thinks, is a certainty. Dr. Blyden, however, the Liberian min ister in London, thinks the plan of es- tablishing a negro state or empire in Liberia or elsewhere in Africa is chi merical. The impetus of the movement headed by Bishop Turner is the "color line' as now drawn in the South. But as has been pointed out, this line is drawn in Africa also as soon as there are sufficient inducements to bring the white man to the country.

Any man who is in love can testify that there is at least one angel without wings, but such testimony would not count in controversy which is now Intosh ordered window for St. Marks church, Syracuse, from Miss Mary E. Tillinghast, artist in stained glass, and agreed to pay for said window the sum of $500. Miss Tillinghast constructed the window in accordance, as she al- leges, with plans and specifications ap- proved by MT. Mcintosh. MT. Mcintosh paid $50 on account of the price of the window, but refuses to pay the balance of Miss Tillinghast's claim on the ground that the artist has failed to keep her contract in the following par ticular: The plans and specifications call for three angels Gone floating in the air, two standing on the ground) in the right hand panel of the window. The artist has furnished only two an gels Gone floating in the air, two standing on the ground). In place of the missing angel is wingless figure. All angels have wings. Therefore the wingless figure is not an angel Where fore the artist has not performed her part of the contract and cannot recover. Miss Tillinghast contends that there is no rule or custom of ecclesiastical art that makes wings a vital and essential part of an angel; that an angel may be wingless and yet, in art, good, com- petent angel; that wings are, therefore, not of the essence of the contract; that she has done the work, as ordered. and is entitled to her money. Also that she means to get it if there is any such | thing as law in New York
 1 It will be interesting to see what a solemn court will say about wingless angels. If it says according to prece- dent MT. Mcintosh will be likely to win.

After some interesting and cheering maneuvering the board of aldermen last evening passed the resolution au- thorizing the board of finance to borrow $20,0O0. There was. as is usual now adays with much that is done at the city hall, some question about the le- gality of the performance. The won drous new charter says that no vote, resolution or measure shall be put up- on its passage, except by unanimous consent, until it shall have been refer red to and reported by suitable com mittee after hearing" The aldermen thought the committee of the whole was Suitable" and acted in accordance with that idea.
 Now if the mayor doesn't veto this action, and if he does veto it, if there are votes enough in the Court of Com mon Council to override his veto, and if it doesn't rain gold around here, prob ably S20, 900 will be borrowed and spent And ''the way out having been dis covered perhaps we shall need to bor- row some more soon

Free thought is all right, and free speech Is all right. when not too free ana frequent. President An drews' feelings have been dealt with in the kindest and most considerate way. It has been made plain that money is not more valuable to an in- stitution of learning than untrammelled thought and unobstructed speech. And if there was anybody who didn't act wisely in the beginning of the trouble everybody has acted wisely at the end. Wisdom is now justified of her children and all is serene and promising.

Every member of the Village Inl- provement Society of New Haven should "do his darnedest" in these days to think up something that will help the village. It needs help, and it is not enough for the head man to have all idea. We have been thinking, and we have a suggestion to make. The farm CTS that live on the outskirts of the vil- lage use fertilizer, for which they pay much. Why should they spend their hard-earned money in buying and their valuable time in carting bought fertili- ger when they can get great plenty for nothing? The streets of New Haven are covered with a thick layer of rich and powerful-smelling fertilizer. Why can't our farmer neighbors do them selves and Us a good turn by coming in with their carts and carrying away to their farms the plant-food they can find on our streets? It would be very valuable to them, and although it has cost us much we shouldn't charge for it under the circumstances Farmers who are thrifty will do well to take ad- vantage of the situation

 Blouse bodices have stood the test for good while and have been many, but here's a new one sketched in it's design CTS show room. It was made of brown wooden goods figured with dark red, and had on the right side an inserted panel of white satin laced across with brown silk cord. On the opposite side were three strips of brown velvet that held a fluffy white mousseline jabot, and collar and belt were white satin, The epaulettes were striped red and white satin, and buttons gave orna- mentation at the wrists,
 In a very little while the brilliant ef- fects of coloring that we have tolerated for the last month or so, because of the summer season, will give place to much more quiet wear for all street uses. Women are realizing that simplicity is the only proper standard for the street, even though strict tailor-made models are not followed, Very pretty dresses are being made of checked wools in black and white, blue and white, or brown and white the bodice being a modification of belted jacket effect, of ten loose enough to serve as an outer garment. The skirts are plain and all
 is finished with braiding. These gowns will not be too light for wear through October, when such q dress should be laid away to be brought out spick-and- span for early spring. FL0RETTE.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 An article in a London paper (The Mail, August 14). which commenced with the words, 'The Parthenon is Doomed,' has been copied in American newspapers and produced a painful impression. The worst of it is that the article had truth in it, but 1t is not entirely true. When in Athens in 1895 I saw the scaffolding of the great beams erected to enable the architect to re- place some marble blocks of the archi- trave that were broken by an earth quake and took note of the sad fractures that appealed even to the eye of a spectator from below. Splinters of stone newly split off lay around But the building did not appear at all like tumbling down. From the sturdy na- ture of the Doric architecture holding itself together by the perfect character of its construction, no one could ap-

 Sir: In your edition of the 14th

 gave very alarnist account of the
 Parthenon. That the Parthenon ur-
 gently requires some considerable re-
 pairs I quite agree. The examination
 of the temple with a view to these re-
 pairs was the object of an express
 journey which it was my duty to make.
 having been invited by the Greek gov
 ernment, in concert with two other ar chitects-a Frenchman and German for the purpose of advising them on this very point, and in the spring of last year I was engaged at Athens for about a month on that duty. If. as I trust, the Greek Archaeological society,
 notWithstandin the recent, and, fear
 I must add, the still continuing calam- ities of the country-are able to conn- plete the repairs which they had un- dertaken to carry out, I believe the con- | servation of the building may eonfi- dently be left to a future generation. | There is a tolerably full account of the state in which I found tffe build l ing in a paper read to the Royal In- | stitute of British Architects last May. l It was reported at some length in the | Times of May IS, and fully published l in the Builder of May 2 last.
