GOOD THINGS,

There Is young man out West who is attracting attention. He is rich and he is doing business on a very gener- ous scale. For instance, he pays two dollars for toothpick. When he drinks a glass of beer he puts a ten or twenty dollar gold piece into it and hands the glass back with the gold in it. He surprised and pleased a bartender the other day by handing him two thou sand dollars as a slight token of es- teem. And his ordinary expenses for one day were three thousand dollars.
 They are taking great pride in this young man out West. They call him a good thing, and they are pushing him along as rapidly as possible But he ought not to stay out West. He ought to come to New Haven and be elected a member of the Court of Common Council. We have some good things in that Court already, but we want more. We want enough so that there can be no doubt that all contracts will be giv- en to the highest bidder without oppo- sition or inquiry. That is the only proper thing to do with contracts. The higher the bid the better, and the man who can bid highest is unquestionably the man who will do the work the best. If he were not he wouldn't bid the highest. We haven't yet heard any member of the Court of Common Coun- cil say that it would be for the interest of the city not to ask for bids, but to give the contracts at prices higher than anybody would dare to bid, but if the young man out West who is paying two dollars for toothpicks will come here perhaps he can bring that reform about. At any rate, he would be a worthy helper of those who believe that the highest bidder should get a con- tract

facing adds much to the becomingness of the hat, while the reinforcing makes the edge of the brim absolutely solid. trimming is part of what you pay for when you go to buy your simple hat at large price at a first-class hatter's. But in many of the sailors the one-time look of simplicity is no more. Here's a sample of this in the accompanying pie ture. This sailor was rough green straw, and was almost covered with trimming in which were shaded green wings, large punches of violets and puffs and twists of green chiffon that ran in and out of the vfolets and were twisted around the base of the wings.
 The flaming audacity of cerise caught the fancy of the girl who had the promptitude of courage needed, and she put her saucy head under a bright cerise hat, thus making her effect ear ly in the season. But now she must take her saucy head out from under the cerfse hat and present said hat to the nearest available saucy housemad. TO be sure, very distinguished girl perfectly gowned whose hat in outline preserves the exactness that proclaims an expensive model, may still carry cerise hat, but it's little late. Shades ot purple, however, are much seen at the very best as well as at the popular places. Straw hats are entirely hidden under great knots of violets, a tall loop of black ribbon making the distinctive feature of the hat. A characteristic of the swagger and we'll made hat is it's solidity. The bows hold the brim in stiff, and the flowers are entirely se- cure at the stems, though the blooms may nod at every breeze Even the fan of tulle is deftly wired so that it may seem as delicately filmy as cobweb, but for all that 1t holds its place and outline, as the homemade trimming utterly fails to do.

IN AN EXTINCT VOL
 CANO.

An interesting discovery from a geological point of view was recently made by an explorer in the mountains of Wtzies Hook, Natal. On the sum init of an extinct volcano, on the edge of lake that occupies the crater, soundings revealed layer of sand enclosing small diamonds. It would be interesting to know whether these diamonds were there accidentally, that is, as the result of washing operations carried on by the natives, or whether this discovery corresponds to an actual mine of diamonds, for the hills of Witzies Hook are not situated in regi- ons known to be diamond bearing. On the last hypothesis, the presence of precious stones in the crater of a VOL cano would doubtless throw some light on the formation of the gems in nature. --Le Genie Civil.

MT. Selous, the African pioneer and hunter, has been expressing some opin- ions which have attracted much atten- tion in England. He is opposed very strongly to lingo policy in South Africa. He does not, he says, believe in the establishment of British suprem- acy in South Africa by force, but holds that the conquest of the Boers by a British force would ultimately lead to the overthrow of British supremacy. According to his estimates, it would re- quire an army of forty or fifty thou sand men to conquer the thirty thou sand well-armed and stubborn Dutch men who would take up arms in case of war. No matter what the rights or wrongs of the question might be, MT. Selous thinks that the sympathies of all the men of Dutch race throughout South Africa would be with their blood relations. Hence if the British won, they would have to look forward to an- other was of independence ten years hence. In MT. Selous' opinion, the cnly way to secure English supremacy is to send out families of English emigrants to Rhodesia. These, like the families actually sent out in 1920, would become, he thinks, the parents of loyal commu- nities.

One of the latest novelties in the field of sheet-metal working is that of steel sheets coated with aluminium, these, it is claimed, being superior to and more durable than galvanized iron, tin plate or planished iron for many purposes for which those materials are now general ly used. The special advantages of such aIuminum-coated sheets are stat ed to be that they can be worked and scanned without peeling; the coating, adhering absolutely to the sheet, can be easily soldered, will resist the action of sulphurous gases, and can be heated to a red heat without destroying the coating. Moreover, such sheets can, when desired, be polished to lustre equal to furnished silver or nickel An absolutely smooth and evenly covered surface is presented, free from imper- factions of any kind. Aluminum-coat- cd sheets plated with copper are also produced, and these also take a high polish.

The building on Market street in Philadelphia on the site occupied by General Washington from November 2S, 1790 to March f. 1797, has been ap- propriately marked with bronze tablet designating it as the spot where stood the first presidential mansion, by the Pennsylvania Society of the Sons of the Revolution. Of the original build ing, which was torn down in 1888, Gen. eral Washington wrote his secretary: "It is the best the corporation could get; 1t is, believe, the best single house in the city, yet without additions it is inadequate to the commodious s-- commodation of my family" The only portion of the original that remains is a part of the coach house wall, which is incorporated into the wall of No. 530 Market street.

DEMOCRATIC PLANS.
Statement Made by State Commit
teeman Campbell
HOPE TO ELECT NEW YOUK'S MAYOR.
National Issues win Not BE Forced Into
the Various Local Campaigns
and Elections This
Fall.

Albany, June THE National DEM
ocratic party will not force national
issues into the various local campaigns
and elections in this state this fall,
and while reputation Of the Chicago
platform will not be allowed it will
not be brought forward as an issue
paramount to anything else. That is
the statement Of the national Demo-
cratic state committeeman from New
York, Frank Campbell of Bath, for
mer comptroller of the state. Mr..
Campbell is in this city, fresh from a
conference with the leaders, and said;
THE policy of the Democratic party
Of the nation. as laid down in the plat
form of the Chicago convention OF
1896, cannot be disturbed until the next
Democratic national convention, which
will be held in 1900. 1t will make no
difference whether a state, city or coun-
ty convention indorses il or repudiates
it. 1t will stand unaltered In the
election last fall the regular organiza-
ton of the state Of New York was
loyal and true to the nominees and
platform of the Chicago convention.
The same organization heartily sup
ported Mr.. Cleveland four years ago as
the Democratic candidate for presi-
dent, although their delegates were op-
posed to him in the national conven-
ton.
Il believe in home rule II the Demo-
Gratis OF the city of New York, Buffalo,
or Rochester deem it expedient and wise
/ for party success to conduct their local
elections without injecting into them
state or national issues. 1 believe they
have a perfect right to do so without
Interference Of any state or national
committee.
Democrats living in the state outside
Of the city of New York are looking
anxiously for the election of a Demo.
cratic mayor for Greater New York. II
this could be accomplished, II would en-
courage the rank and file of the party
and enable the organization to get intC
fighting shape for the important state
election that is to take place a yeal
from this fall. when the governor, state
officers and the legislature are to bl
elected.
IF we carry Greater New York an,
elect these officers next year, then thl
party will be in shape, with a fai
chance of placing New York state in tn
Democratic column in 1900.
LAS the representative of the regula
organization of New York on the ma
tional committee / can state that so IA
as I know the national committee ha
no desire to interfere in New York stat
in it's local elections this fall or to die
tate to the Democracy of New Yor
