TIE New YORK weekly bark Statement
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1897-01-01
arlGHy NAVE BEEN WORSE.


Mr.. Bryan cheerfully remarks that
business is worse now than it was be-
fore McKinley's election. OF course he
isn't glad that business has not inn
proved as fast as some thought it
would. No lover of his country like
Mr.. Bryan, and no lover of the work
ingman like Mr.. Bryan could possibly
vlval of business. If he seems glad,
or IL he appears to eXaggerate in his
statement of the gloominess of the sit
uatlon 1t is not because he is not real
patriot and a true lover Of his fei-
low citizens. He is both, and though
ne may seem cheerful he Is sad at
heart because the times are not bet
Ter.
There is one big chunk of consola-
tlon that can be offered to Mr.. Bryan.
However bad the times are they are
not as bad as they would be if he had
been elected. The panic he predicted
would follow his election would have
made trouble enough He can look
upon himself as a martyr to the general
good, and while he cheerfully weeps
over the present state of things he can
shudder at what might have been.

An objection Answered.

Here is criticism, an objection, an
accusation, if you please. Some one
states that he obtained box of SEAL,
BoEFGAIN and did not like il; it was
not at all what he thought it would be,
did not taste good, was sticky and
"pasty;;" did not think it digested as
well as some other food.
Now, friend, the trouble is right
here, you did not cook it right. 1t is a
great commentator for this food that
if it is -lotcooked right, you kno1O it. 1t
does not require more than minute
and half of careful attention. For
the balance of twenty-five minutes re-
quired it should remain on the stove
simply sirnmering or boiling slightly.
BY stirring it vigorously there wont be
a lump in it. Then you have a de1ic-
ious, well-cooked, most digestible and
nourishing dish. 1t is unsurpassed in
all these respects, but you can't fool
with it in cooking. 1t is one of those
things that if worth doing at all is
worth doing well.
Follow directions in cooking. Put il
into Joamfng, boiling hot water, pro-
portions given, making it thick or
thinner, if you desire, and cooking ii
the exact time given.

marry NEW YEAR,

Everybody who has goodwill will
say Happy New Year! to-day, and
many While saying 1t win feel quite
sure that the happy new year can't
possibly be as unhappy as the old year
was, II it should turn out to be, there
would be general disbursement. But
let us hope. There will be no presiden-
tial election this year and the new gov
ernment will be striving to do its duty.
The war clouds are clearing away and
the sun OF peace is shining through
them. If the sun of prosperity also
shines on us 1t will indeed be a Happy
New Year. Let's wish it to-day and
struggle along in hope and courage.

FASHION NJ TIES.
Novel at All Points.

Just as the jacket has to a large de-
gree supplanted the cape, so the Jacket
or coat bodice has displaced all other
kinds, with the single exception Of the
round waist which still abounds. But
in these two sorts nearly all fashlona-
BILE bodiees are included, and the coat
or jacket cuts far outnunber the
others Even with their great abund-
ance there Is no danger in sight yet
of that monotony that becomes COM
monness, and whose first appearance

OF the civil war there were swarms of
two hundred ton schooners making
money along the coast, Then the small
barges appeared on the protected wat
ers Of the coast and drove this class of
vessels largely out of existence. The
schooner men then built three-masters
of six hundred tons burden to compete
for business. These made. money for
time. The barges steadily increased in
size and numbers, however, and about
eight years ago the schooner men
found it possible to compete successful
ly with the barges in the coal trade
only by building and using the four
masters, carrying eighteen hundred
tons and upward. In the meantime
the size Of the barges and the length of
the towing routes have been steadily
Increased, Now there is a prospect
that sails in the coastwise trade may
become as obsolete as in the United
States navy.-New York Sun.

heralds as surely the approach of a

ieldfuS DIS surely the approach OIL a
radically different fashion, as the robin
foretells the spring. The jacket may
lies in an inconsequential bolero, many
of 'em do, or there may be tails and
other marked coat characteristics. Here
is an example of the rare combination
of both coat and bolero effects, and
a particularly novel one, but for that
matter, there is not a single feature
of this bodice that IS not attractive
because of its unusualness. Its mate
rial was dark green broadcloth, and
its coat back fell in ripples lined with
white satin. The bolero effect came
from a handsome applique design of
black silk passementerie, the bodice
belt was formed from several pleats
of white SATIN and the pleated silk
also showed in the sleeves slashes.
Cuffs and collar had white satin lin
ing, and were banded with black pas
sementerie The skirt to this dress had
"a band Of white satin at the hem, rich
ly appliqued with pasementerie. A
dress could hardly be more novel and
yet be so free from being criticised as
advanced.
In displacing capes, Jackets have al
so pushed listers into the back row,
for now the long ulster Is light and
suited to occasions met as well by the
jacket, or it is too heavy for anything
but driving. Nothing Is handsomer or
more comfortable, but the average wo-
man who can afford only one or two
ver-garments is likely to omit the long
ulster from her list. Great, loose, all
enveloping kersey affairs with big
hood and baggy sleeves are good fol
travelling. Rain-proof cloths are made
up into fetchingly loose, all-over gar
ments and are valuable, additions to
the wardrobe of the woman who Is
likely to find herself exposed much tc
the weather. These find a steady sale
among practical folk, but the jacket
that will not hurt in the rain and that
over a nice skirt will look stylish In
the bright weather is the choice Of the
great majority. FLORETTE.

TELEGRAPHING WITHOUT Wires

BY and by perhaps we shall be able
to say Hello, Central Africa" and get
an answer without the aid of wires.
An important advance has been made
in the matter of telegraphing without
wires. 1t was explained the other day
in Toynbee Hall, London, by the well
known expert w. H. Preece. The sys-
tenn is the invention of young italian
named Marconi, and depends not on
electromagnetic, but on electrostatic
effects-that is to say, on electric waves
of a much higher rate of vibration,
brations are projected through space
in straight lines, and can be reelected
and refracted like light. The great Off
ference between the earlier system and
Mr. Marconis is that in the former
wire on each side is necessary, and in
the latter no wire is required. Vibra-
lions are simply set up by one appara-
tus and received by the other. Mr..
Preece said that the English postofIice
had decided to spare no expense in
making the fullest experiments, and
added that he had the greatest faith in
the apparatus. II the experiments
were successful it would be of inesti-
mable value TO ships, FOR it would pro-
vide another easy way Of communicate
ing with lightships and lighthouses.
Since last year there had been cable
with the Fastnet Light, but some time
ago It broke down, and it had been inl-
possible vet to land on the rock in or
der TO repair it. Now there was a pos
sibility Of enabling ships as they came
near dangerous rocks and shadows TO
receive an intimation of the fact by
means of these electric waves. Meth
er day nor night made any difference,
fog or rain or snow would not interfere
with them, and if the invention was
what he believed it to be mariners
would gain new sense which would
make navigation infinitely easier and
safer than it is now.

LINE NOR NEEDED.

There seems to be some substance to
the report that a new line is to be con-
structed across the continent, termi-
mating in San Francisco. The projec-
tor, Mr.. Donald Mclean, was the exec
utive head of the Pacific Short line
scheme, which fell through in 1891. Mr..
100000 from English capitalists, and
that the money will be spent in putting
Sioux City, continue along surveys al
ready made as far as Ogden and reach
the Pacific coast by route to be Sc
lected. If the plan is carried out the
Union Pacific and the Southern Pacific
will have parallel competitor all the
way from Omaha to the Pacific termi-
nus, and will be scarcely one hundred
miles distant from it at the most be-
tween the Missouri and Ogden. The
Southern Pacific's main route is, of
course, to the south of this region, but
by it's lease of the Central Pacific it is
practically in possession OF one-half of
the original Great Pacific road.
The prospect of another trans-conti-
mental line will not be particularly pleas
ing to those who are trying to make the
present lines pay. There is no need Of
another, and if English or any other
capitalists are seduced into furnishing
money to make one they will probably
be sorry.

Martin Dodge, the Ohio State Road
commissioner, is an enthusiast on the
subject of steel roadways. He esti-
mates that a double-track road, the
tracks laid sixteen feet apart, and the
space between the rails of each track
filled in with broken stone, macadam
size, would cost much less than good
macadam road, and the cost of a coun-
try one-track road about half as much
as the double track. He says that such
8 road would last much longer than a
stone road, and that one horse will
draw on a steel track twenty times as
much as on dirt road and five times
as much as on nacadam.

Under the Maryland high-license law
g. traders license and saloon license
may not be issued for the same prem
ises. 1t is necessary to have traders
license in order to sell cigars and to-
bacco. Apparently it was clear that
under the law cigars and tobacco could
not be sold in saloon, and the tobac-
consists, to protect their business
against the saloon encroachment, in
vcked the law. The legal contest which
followed was carried to the Supreme
court and resulted in victory for the
tobacco men. A saloon keeper con-
yicted of selling merchandise without
a traders license, was refused new
trial, but, curiously enough, one of the
Judges, when asked IL the decision pro-
hibited saloon keepers from selling Gig
arettes, replied that that question had
not been before the court.

An Odd Controversy.

The strangest possibility of armed
conflict that the United States has
known is impending in northwestern
Colorado, on the Wyoming border The
land is fit for little but grazing; the
cattlemen desire it as range for their
herds, while some sheepmen insist that
their focks shall Craze there. The cat
tie are satisfied with grass, whether
green or dry, but the sheep are said to
nip the grass roots below the surface -
probably because the cattle have left
nothing but roots. There have been
some compromises and agreements, all
of which were soon broken, so now the
two interests are arraycd against each
other, to the extent of several hundred
men organized and armed like military
companies. and each little army is de-
1ermined that the other, with its ami
mails, shall go. To complete the oddity
of the situation, the land in dispute
does not belong to either of the parties,
but to the United States, the cattlemen
and sheepmen being alike squatters.--
