UNIQUE EXHIBITION.

A Huge Block of Castle Soap in Howe
 & Stetson's Window Being Converted
 Into Bartholdi's Statue of Liberty.
 That we are living in an age of ad- vertising is daily exemplified from the many numerous devices which come under our notice as a means by which the attention of the public is drawn by some particular class of mer- clandise which has been put upon the market. It is a we'll known fact that no merchant who ignores newspaper advertising can possibly keep himself and his business before the public and succeed It is the handspring that keeps him in constant touch with the public and the breaking of this main- spring would amount to much the same as the breaking of the handspring of a watch; in other words, without adver- Using his business would suddenly come to standstilI. Other methods, however, are brought into play in order to attract the attention of the many, and perhaps the most novel of any of late is that now being carried out in one of the windows of Howe & Stet- sons dry goods store. A large block of castillo soap has been forwarded by
 Messrs. c. L. Jones & Go of Boston,
 who have engaged the services of a we'll known New York sculptor, Lions Carlton, to transform it into a repre- 1 sentation of Bartholdfs famous Statue of Liberty. All day on Saturday large
 crowds thronged the sidewalk and i watched with interest the artist as he
 slowly but surely brought 1t into shape. l It will take MT Carlton at least all
 day to-day to put the finishing touches.
 The base of the statue and sur
 rounding fort walls of Bedloe's Island
 will be formed by the small cakes Of the soap which are sold in the store.
 The water will be represented by flow l ing folds of green cheese cloth and
 miniature steamers and boats will ap- pear in the scene.

THREE ELEMENTS ~ GnEAryEss.
President Tucker of Dartmouth Before
 the Mems Club

President Tucker of Dartmouth Before
 the Mems Club.
 President Tucker of Dartmouth coI- lege spoke to the Mems club of United church last evening on the subject Greatness"
 The lecturer said in substance that the elements of greatness were origi- nality authority and beneficence: that the tendency of the age was toward originality, and that science was lead- ing the way, the rest of the world fol- lowing. Literature was pessimistic but science was optimistic to the very point where certainty begins.
 The greatest poet of the age was Matthew Arnold, and he was. the poet Of doubt. Science always had an atti- tude of expectancy.
 Under the classification of authority he said that the age will go into his tory as one of the few masterful ones, made so by authority. The millionaire of the age was not he who had saved his riches from the pittances that had come to him by dint of daily toll, but he was man of broad cancellations, controlling the vast interests that he had connected himself with. He made few mistakes, and sometimes was not over-scrupulous.
 The age had seen a group of promot- CTS or projectors. Great lines of tele- graph and cables had been planned and carried to perfection. Among that ar ray of men who were prominent in these great doings stood out the strong vital power of Cyrus W. Field, who compelled, by his authority, the com pletion of the gigantic scheme of lay | ing the Atlantic cable. Few ages had given greater illustra- 1 ton of the power of authority, and the great desire for national unity has af- | forded a wide field for it's exemplifica- tion The unification of Italy was the result of the authority of Cavour; the idea had existed in the masterful mind of the great statesman for years. The federation of Germany under Bismarck was the boldest example of what au- thority can do that the world ever saw. The authority of Abraham Lincoln mapped out a plan for nation. It was the instinct of justice that aroused | the strong man to action. The nation had freed itself, but it was left for Ab- raham Lincoln to free the bondmen of the south His calm words allayed the feelings of bitterness, but his powerful overmastering mind compelled the na- | tion to follow.
 | When our minds turn back to the period we can see the authority, but so gentle was the influence at the time that men did not know they were be- ing swayed by authority
 England has recently felt the force of authority exerted by one man, and to-day this country is under the infiu- ense of one powerful masterly author itative mind, compelling its direction against the thought of men of his own kind.

Important Local Financial Events of
 the Week-other Corporatlons-Ne
 Haven Bank Statement.
 The interesting item of financial news during the past week has been the an- nouncement of the increase of capital of the Fair Haven and WestVille Hatl- road from $600,000 to $900000, Stock holders of record on February 27 have the right to subscribe at part for one new share for each two shares held on that date. Subscription must be paid in full at $25 per share on or be- fore March 15, when the new certificates will be ready for delivery. Usually stock subscriptions are for the accom- modation of stockholders and are made payable in several instalments, but any slight financial advantage gained by the instalment plan is In this case more than offset by the fact that the new sock, paid for on March 15, gets equally with the old stock, six months divi- dend next July, the company having had the use of the new capital only three and one-half monthss
 Under the terms of the new issue of the Southern New England Telephone stockholders had the privilege ofspay- ing for the new stock in three install ments, January 10, February 10 and March 10. Many of the smaller hold CTS are now paying in full for the new shares. The first batch of certificates of new stock was delivered on Satur- | day.

ONLY A R0MP FOR ORNAMENT.
WINS THE INTERN ATIONAL DERBY
AT DETROIT.

Meadowthorpe Finishes Second
Three Lengths Behind, With Mon
creith Third The Race Worth
S7,o65 to the winner, 800 to the

Third - A Protest Entered Against
Payment of the Money to Orna-
menfs Owners.
Detroit. Mich, Aug. 1O.-Ornament cas-
lily proved his superiority in the Interna-
uonal Derby to-day and won the star
feature Of the Detroit Jockey Clubs open
ing day at Crosse Point with the great
est ease. The attendance was about 5000.
Much of the interest in the derby was
taken away by the easy manner in which
Ornament won. He took the lead at the
start and was never headed, winning in
a gaIlop in 2:36. The course was struggling,
and for a furlong they were punched and
ran in close company to the stand, Or
nament leading by a length, with Dare II
second and Meadowthorpe third, Mon
creith trailing two lengths back Going
around the upper turn Dare II made
futile attempt to take the lead, but Or
nament easily shook him off. Down the
back stretch the order remained unchang-
ed. Dare by this time was soundly beaten
and had dropped back At the lower
end of the stand Moncreith gave it up and
this left the race a procession, in which
Ornament crossed the line three lengths
in front, with Meadowthorpe just as cas-
lily second and Moncreith third. The race
was worth SS,O65, Of which 1865 went to
the first horse, 800 to the second and $500
to the third. A protest against paying the
money earned by Ornament was filed by
Michigan on the ground that Ornament
has been vigorously entered this year as
the property of Charles Patterson. Charles
