The High school and It's New Principal.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 With many others in the community, I desire to congratulate the Superin- tendent of Schools and the Board of Education, for bringing to New Ha- ven, for principal of the Hillhouse High School, MT. Myron T, scudder, now inspector of schools in the State of New York.
 Knowing nothing of the gentleman except what we have learned from the newspapers, but relying upon them to fairly represent his qualifications, we believe that the Board of Education has selected as the fifth Principal a teacher having the two essential quail ties for successful school administra- ton, namely, sound scholarship and executive ability of the highest order Very rarely are these combined in | the same person, but when so found his services cannot be rewarded by | too high pecuniary compensation New Haven needs the best that can be | found for her schools
 | We believe that under the direction | of the principal selected the school will not only maintain it's high reputation | as a fitting school for the University especially in mathematics and Ian l guage, but as can be done if the best possible teachers are secured, when va l cancies occur, great advances will be made in these two important branches l of education.
 | We also have reason to believe that the English course of study. to whicf the large majority of the school be longs, will be more wisely directed ant cared for than ever before.
 A multiplicity of courses of study i: not desirable, but all graduates of ou Hioh School should be well and thor oughly prepared for the work befor, them in life.
 The Hillhouse High School should b
 known for the excellence of all it's de
 partments, not merely for it's own in
 ner life, but that as 'city on a hill'
 it may be seen, visited, and studied
 as a model, by the hundreds of teach

 4 VINE CHOICE.

The controllers of the great Northern Pacific railroad system have come to New Haven for a president for their road, and they have made no mistake in their choice MT. Mellen has won
 high rank in railroad management and
 has won it solely by unusual ability and tireless industry. He is a man of sound judgment and solid character,
 and he will give confidence to investors
 in the securities of the road, for his constant aim will be to act wisely and uprightly in his management. He knows railroad business like book, |" | is tactful and fair in his dealings with | men, and he will be popular with his | subordinates, who will find him cour- teous and just He will enter on his
 new duties with sure promise of suc- cess, and though New Haven and the Consolidated road will be sorry to lose l him he will be heartily congratulated
 on being called to place which is so
 important and which offers such field
 for the exercise of his great skill and | ability.

There are onyx quamies in Arizona, Arkansas and Virginia and also in Mexico, but Professor Gordy says that none of them produces stone of as good quality as the Kentucky onyx, If that is so the men who own the Ken lucky stone will not need to go to the KlondilEe. The most inferior onyx sells at $3 per cubic foot in the rough at the quarries In small blocks. Large blocks of the same quality bring from S10 to $l5 per cubic foot and finer grades bring proportionately larger prices.

With the management of the steam ship company.
 A movement was initiated by the passengers and the residents of Dunoon, who succeeded in reaching Glasgow last night through the overthrowing of the Commissioners barrlcade, to present a testimonial to the manager of the sun day Steamer Company for his success in securing what is looked upon by the vast majority of the West of Scotland residents and English tourists as the l most important improvement in the steamer service to the Clyde watering | places. It may be mentioned that l twelve tourists direct from London, who would have been compelled to spend the
 whole of yesterday in Glasgow or

 noon. They expressed great satis-
 faction at being enabled to reach their
 destination so early.--London Times.

 Correct skirts fit close at the hips, have a little fullness from the belt at the back, spread slightly towards the hem and hang in natural folds. They are graceful and unexaggerated, not so graceful as the old bell skirt. but we all learned that the bell skirt did not wear well, especially in summer goods or in anything liable to the least shrink age Most of us have in our wardrobe one that is all shrunk up in front, with the back still trail, and no making over possible.

FASHION NOTES.
Midway snucness Fashionable

Snugness about the waist and hips is now characteristic of the stylish dresser and the fitting of skirts has be- come a matter in which home dress makers can blunder sadly. As means of gaining that midway trimness that is now so desirable the skirt the artist puts here was admirable. It was cut from pale beige vigogne, with high corselet belt and fastened at the side where it was ornamented with soutache edging and loops, a similar row of loops coming around the bottom. With 1t was worn a blouse of green and beige glace surah that was simply gathered at neck and waist. Over this was a

------------------------ f N EIE CURE
ability.

A new cure for drunkenness is always interesting, and it may be important, for there arc always enough drunkards to be cured, in spite of the many "cures' that have been in operation The latest cure cropped out in Lister- vile, West Virginia, and the usual claim is made for it that it has been thoroughly efficacious in all the cases in which it has been tried It has one great and obvious merit, and that is that it does not include the adminis- tration of powerful drugs. The treat ment operates directly upon the will, and it's influence is entirely mental. Whenever a resident of Baskerville gets drunk he is arrested by the police but instead of spending a night in jail he is put inside of an old gas tank and the boys of the village roll it about the streets an hour or two beating a lively tattoo upon it with sticks and stones. When the patient is removed from the
 tank he is usually quite sober, thor oughly repentant and eager to take any
 temperance pledge which may be pro-
 posed.
 The "cure" has been in operation
 several months, and it is asserted that
 nobody has had to take it more thar
 once. Moreover, none of those cured | has become insane or suffered in anA
 other way from the cure. So it car
 fairly be called a success.

This country has an interest in the fact that the British government has ordered two "destroyers" to be added to the vessels on the Atlantic and two more to the squadron on the Pacific station. The four new boats are of the mast modern description, and have been put into commission for the voyages before them while fresh from the hands of the builders. Each one Is of 300 tons displacement, runs at thirty knots, and carries seven guns. In these respects they differ from the "destroyers" of the Havock design, which are of but 215 tons displacement and make only twenty-seven knots ar hour while also. less strongly armed. 1t is of i'm portance to consider that either one of these four boats Is capable of destroy ing any one and all of the torpedo boats now building in this country, and that the armament and invulnerability ot all of them against the American boats will answer for all offensive purposes il any of the thirty knot boats now under construction for this government ex ceed them in speed.

Three thousand children of the Chi cago public schools have been asked the question: What books have you read since school began last September, and which one did you like the best?" A compilation of the answers shows that "Uncle Toms Cabin" stands first on the list, and John Fiske's History of the United States as high as fifteenth in the list of 100 favorite volumes chos- en by boys above 13 years of age. A curious thing about 1t is that many of the books which stand the lowest on the list are books that were written especially for children.

The result of the experiment made by the Postoffice department during the month of July of attaching letter boxes to street cars in Des Moines, Iowa, was that there were collected by this means 29,2s7 letters, e,o59 cards, and Al pieces of second, third and fourth class mail matter. It shows an increase of 1900 pieces over June, and the postmaster is of the opinion that, owing to many cars being open, and no boxes attached, there was not so much collected by this means as there would be if all the cars were closed If the experiment Is suc- cessful, it will be tried in other cities where similar conditions prevail.
