years this country will have a navy
which will be able to take care of itself
in any waters.
Speaking of navies, their battles,
heroes and glories, the rule seems to be
shat American commanders always
prove heroes. It Is said by naval au-
thorities that there is only one prece-
dent for Admiral Dewey's victory. Only
fleet subdued a hostile feet and cap
tured fortified city at the same time
without the assistance of land forces,
and that was when Admiral Farragut
captured New Orleans after passing
Forts Jackson and ST. Philip and a
Confederate fleet in the lower Missis-
sippi.
In 1856. during the Crimean war, Sir
Charles Napier set out to capture
Cronstadt on the Baltic sea. On the
eve of the departure Of his feet Sir
Charles was given magnificent dinner
in London, at which he made a speech
declaring that he had the honor to
command the most powerful feet that
had ever assembled since the Spanish
armada, and, God willing, he proposed
to make good use of it in capturing
st. Petersburg the Russian capital
But when he arrived at Cronstadt Sir
Charles discovered evidences of tor
pedoes at the entrance to the harbor
and brought his vessels back to Ply
mouth without making an attack. Then
one of the most acrimonious
and prolonged discussions that ever
agftated a nation. Sir Charles was

JAPAN NO LONGER LITTLE.

The Japanese merchant marine is
now much greater than that of Spain.
The island empire has multiplied its
steam tonnage by two and one-half in
four years Spain has made little gain
in the last decade. Now she is losing
a good share of the merchant steamers
she possessed before the war with the
United States began
Such contrasts are sufficient evidence
that the day when European countries
and the United States formed a class
altogether apart both in power and
in industry and commerce, from the
countries OF continents not inhabited
by white men, hs gone by. The Japan
csc are nearly 5000, 900 strong, and
they have rich and fertile. as well as
attractive, country which has room for
many millions more. They have prov
ed themselves energetic, progressive,
and brave enough to merit the good
fortune which seems to be better as
sured every day.
Japan must be reckoned with hence,
forth as one Of the rising great powers
of the world, and If there should ever
be such a triple alliance as that which
was suggested recently by a Russian
paper which pointed out the likelihood
that Great Britain, the United States
and Japan might be virtually bound
together for defensive purposes and
mutual advantage, 1t would. as the
Russian editor said, shift the balance
of power of the whole world.

AN INTERPRETING VIOLIN.

Joseph F. Brace of West Hartford is the possessor of violin which would delight any musician or collector of an- tiques. It bears the date 1773 and was originally imported from Paris. MT. Braces grandfather, Lory Brace, pur- chased the violin some seventy-five or eighty years ago. He used it for many an old time dance and left it to his son, Thomas Brace, who became an expert musician and used the old violin in con- nection with the old-fashioned singing schools" which he conducted in East Hartford, Vernon, New Britain, Berlin. Simsbury, Bloomfield, West Hartford and other places. MT. Brace was also chorister at the First church. The church was in the present town hall building. Many residents can recall the choir as it appeared, led by MT. Brace upon the violin and B. s. Bishop upon the bass viol with sometimes a flute accompaniment by Julius Deming. The late R. D. Hawley of Hartford, col- lector of such instruments, kept the violin for some time, putting it in per- feet order. He considered it of superb or tone. The present possessor makes little use of the old instrument, but he would not part with it for $500 valuing it for it's fine qualities and associations and also preferring to pass it down to posterity in unbroken line,-Hartford Courant.

compensation, and this though it was so authorized by it's charter.
 3. Where the use of plaintiffs prop erty for a crossing interferes with it's business, the proper use of its proper ty' and the safe operation of its road, and diminishes the value of its land, injunction is proper remedy.
 Appeal from the court of common pleas, Fairfield county. Action by Rose Mccormick against Patrick J. Kealy, to recover damages for person. al injuries claimed to have been caused by the defendants dog. Judgment for plaintiff. Reversed on appeal. The points decided are:
 1. Evidence of a declaration made by plaintiff within five minutes of the in- jury, that the defendants dog had bitten her, is not admissible as part of the res gestae.
 2. In an action by the next friend of an infant, it is not essential that the infant should know of or authorize the proceeding.
 Action by Henrietta M. Hewitt and others against the New York, New Haven aud. Hartford railroad for the judicial construction of deed. Case reserved by Judge Thayer, from Fair field county for advice of supreme court, Deed declared void ab initio. The point decided is:
 General Statutes, section 2,952 provides no estate shall be given by deed to any person or persons not in being at the time of it's delivery, or to their inn mediate issue or descendants. Held, that a deed by which the grantor re- traced his title unto, the children of H., who shall be alive\at her decease, and the issue of such child or children, if there be any, their heir and assigns, in equal shares per stirpes," was an
