BOTH DEAD.

A Shocking Deed and Its Results.
 Danielson. July 4,-Jonah $. Young, always known as "Schuyler" Young' in fit of insanity, struck his aged Wife last Monday, causing her death on Wednesday, and overcome with remorse and exhaustion he died himself on Thursday. MT. Young was q man of eighty-eight years and for more than half a century has been strong advo- cate of Second Adventism. It Is said the cause of his insanity was from dis appointment in calculating the date for the end of the world. He carefully made date for the event to take place in 1S4O and agin in 1890, and finally found he was off his reckoning seven years, placing the date for a certainty at October 29 1897. This disappoint- ment proved too much for his eccentric mind and from that time he was more or less insane, resulting in the tragedy described Mr. Young was a bright man and had accumulated some prop erty by his own industry

sLoASE REQUEST TO YALE.
Justice Ingraham's Opinion as to the Transfer Tax After Rcmarriagc of the Widow

Yesterdays New York Times says: Thomas C. Sloane, who died in this city about seven years ago. by his will gave his executors s4O00o0 in trust the income to go to his wife during her life or until her remarriage, and upon her death or her remarriage $2o0,00o of this sum was given to Yale college. After the testator's death, in proceeding to impose a transfer tax on the bequest to Yale college, 1t was decided that the amount of the tax was not then deter minable.
 "The widow of the testator, who when he died was thirty-seven years old, received the income of this sum until her remarriage, on April l6. 1896. After the remarriage, in proceedings to have the value of the estate which was subject to taxation assessed, 1t was fixed by the appraiser at the whole amount payable to the legatees, An order of the surrogate setting aside the apprais- CTS decision, and sending the proceed ings back to make a new report by de- ducting from the principal fund the value of the particular estate of the widow for the term of five years and ten months during which the widow hood existed, has just been affirmed by the appellate devision. Justice h. graham, who gives the opinion, says:
 Had the trust estate been deter mined upon the death of the widow, its duration could have been ascertained by accepting the average period of hu- man life for person of her age as the period during which the trust estate would continue, and while this might not be accurate in a particular case, the average has been so clearly ascer- talned, that in the long run no injustice is done. There is manifestly no such average than can be predicated upon the period which is to determine by the remarriage of the widow, and there was no rule under the laws that then existed, by which the duration of the trust could be determined,
 The valuation of a bequest to Yale college, having been postponed until the subsequent events could enable the surrogate accurately to determine the value of the bequest. and by the re- marriage of the testat tors widow; on April 16, 1896, the exact duration Of the trust having been determined, 1t is now possible, by very simple method of computation, to ascertain the exact value of the legacy which, upon the death of the testator, vested in Yale college and this the surrogate did when he directed the appraisement upon such property in the order appealed from. We think the surrogate was right.

EDO aEwoops NEw TEAM.

" Several Yale Varsity Players on the Nine
 Game With the Hamdens This After noon.
 It has taken the Edgewoods an un- usually long time to get started for the present esason. An infusion of new blood has regalvanized the team and it is now ready to play baseball with any of the leading hines of Connecti- cut.
 The old uniforms have been discarded for suits like those of the Brown uni versity players, and the new ones are a great improvement,
 The new players are all valuable men, some of them being college players. Bennett w. Farnham, who played left field the past season on the Yale team, is one. He will play in the outfield. Doc" Hamlin, who led the Yale Var. sity in batting the present season, has also jointed the club. Hamlin was second baseman and substitute pitcher for the Yale Varsity. Another star player is "Zeke" Bronson, who led the Yale freshmen at the bat and in the field the past season, He will play either second base or short tsop. Tom my Atkins, the Yale substitute first baseman, has also joined the team.
 Robertson, the catcher for the Mount Hermon school nine the past season. will be behind the bat this summer. Besides these additions, the old reliable Steve Hinman will be in the box, Cot trell will play in the outfield, and prob ably Frank Beecher and Joe McHugh will play.
 The game at Savin Rock on Satur- day between the Edgewoods and the Winchesters was postponed indefinite ly.
 This afternoon the Edgewoods wifi have hard game at the Edogewood grounds. They will meet the crack Hamden nine and both teams will be out in their full strength. This will be one of the leading Independence day at fractions in the city.

 The decrease in the capital of the New Haven Clock company from S500,- 900 to $310,000 is merely a formal mat ter and of no interest to the local mar ket. An old indebtedness to the princi- pal stockholders was cancelled by an increase of capital and now capital has been reduced.

The Odors of Home.

There are" said MT. Wingleby, "cer- tain household odors that are insepara- ble from true home. Thus I wouldn't give much for a home in which you did not get regularly every morning the de- lightful odor of freshly ground and freshly made coffee, an appetizer for breakfast, and I expect one regularly once week, on Mondays. the permeat- ing odor of hot water and soap that marks the weekly washday.
 During a period of a few weeks re- gently, when there was temporary va- cancy in the household staff, I missed something. What it was I couldn't guess, but when the time for it came was conscious of something wanting. know now what it was. It was the Mon day morning soap and water.
 For a time Mrs. Wingleby had put the washing out, but now that the do- mestic staff is filled again 1t is once more done at home. Once more on Monday mornings now get the soapy, steamy smell, and home is home again."

She must know the wholesale price for the vel vet, silk or satin that trims the gar ment; also, the price of the cloth it is made of, the cost of the making, and so on, and be able to calculate to a fraction just what profit she ought to allow the manufacturer. To a good buyer the manufacturer shows his best and most unique bargains. If she is not liberal, wants to jew him down to too close a margin, or if she does not buX enough to make it worth his while to cater to her tastes, he shows her only his slow selling goods and keeps the rest back for more enterprising cuS- tom.
 How much money does a woman buy CT for such an important department use during the year? If she is a good worker, she turns her stock money over two or three times. Certainly she buys during the year from $300000 to $500 900 worth of goods. Such buyer will have been in the business certainly ten years or more and have familiarized herself with every detail. Occasionallya a bright keen witted woman with a talent for comparing values will learn the mar ket and it's possibilities and limitations in less than three years time.

 This able buyer purchases evening wraps ana TUT garments worth $SOU ana s900 apiece. She is responsible for $250,- 900 worth of goods during a season.
