Great Northern Gets Land.

A Washington special of Tuesday
says: Acting Secretary III the Interi.
or Ryan today. decided q case IN.
volving title to 22,344 acres OF land
in the st. Cloud land district. The
decision rejects the appeal OF the
Northern Pacific railroad company
and sustains the ruling OF the local
land office at st. Cloud and the ind
ing of the missioner OF the gen
oral land Office which held that the
Northern Pacific had NO rights with
in the thirty-mile indemnity lands
and the twenty-mile limits Of the
grant made to the st. Paul, Mime
apolis & Manitoba for construction
OF the st. Vincent extension. These
lands were certified to the state un-
der the st. Vincent grant In 1874. and
Mr.. Ryan holds that they therefore
passed out Of the jurisdiction Of the
Of the interior. A pOr-
tiOn Of these lands waa relinq utshetl
to aettlers who will now get patents,
The balance will go tn the Manitoba
company. which in this case means
tho Great Northern.

FASHION AND FABRIC.

Dark, rioh plum colors Of Q reddish cast
sre highly favored among winter tailor
costumes Of cloth.
Satin is made great use Of this autumn
In lining long, narrow loops and pointed
ends of velvet that are machine stitched
In silk on their extreme edges.
Many Of the small pelerines and other
shoulder oapes of last winter are modishly
changed into very attractive styles with .
frill at the edge and long slender stole
fronts.
On some of the rich dark costumes for
the winter are arranged yokes Of silk ap-
plique, with revers of seal; mink, astra-
khan, chinchills, otter or other dark fur
beyond.
Fringe in jet, silk, lends, cords and
chenille has come into fashion II not into
ganeral favor. In spite of their familiar
dgaw backs, fringes of every make are used
BY high class dressmakers.
There Is this season a very extensive
show Of small fur neck pieces and few
boas In all the long fleeced furs, such a.
black fox, marten, lynx, Alaska sable.
etc., with fair sized mufYs to match.
The princess dress of today has under
gone great transformations. Often on i'm.
ported models only the back is a princess
model. and the front Ia cut in the form of
bodice and yoke, bolero, q cutaway
Louis XIV coat, eto.
This season the yellow toilets, as rule,
seem to be decidedly yellow rather than
the dainty honeysuokle and primrose tint
ings. The brilliant Marecbal Neil yellow,
the orange and military gold yellow shades
are especially favored.
The odd and pretty combination Of
orange and gray, so becoming to many
women and SO popular the last season, has
been carried into the domain of elegant
evening dresses, where 1t has gained still
greater vogue and success.
A very popular half cape cut like an I'M
mense Charles TX collar and applied to
both redingote and princess dresses Is
much used on imported models from both
Paris and London. 1t looks like large
revers points in front and like a cape COL
lar pushed down on tho shoulders in the
back and on the sides.-New York Post.

The tract takes in all the property both sides of Wall street, ex- to a point a few rods east of the brook and quite a tract fronting on Elm street. The real estate deal relieves the borough from the suit brought some months ago by H. F. Hall for $5,000 by reason of the Center street sewer which empties into the brook that runs through the property belonging to. Hall. but which has just been disposed of. One of the stipulations in the sale was that the suit should be withdrawn without cost to the borough The Backes Brothers now own nearly all the property between Ward street and the Malley farm.

THE LIFE OF A GUN

''The life of a gun is one of the most unsatisfactory things about it,'' re- marked an ordnance officer in discuss ing the war question, "and though a number of experiments have been made in connection herewith, there is no absolute certainty as to the results. A general rule has been arrived at which is thought to be on the safe side of the matter and that is that the modern steel gun should not be fired more than one hundred times. After that it mat ters not what the emergency may be, it is safer to dismantle the gun and send it back to the shop than to risk fir ing it, for the explosion of gun is a decidedly and extensively dangerous occurrence to all in it's immediate local ity. The firing of the gun causes the

The regular weekly meeting of the Milford Wheel club will be held on Thursday evening.
 The following is the programme which the George Van Horn Post, G. A. R., have made for Memorial day: The post will meet at headquarters at 1 p. m., led by the Boy drum corps of Orange, c. o. Isbell marshall. Thev will march to the cemetery by the way of River and Cherry street and deco- rate the graves of the deceased vete- rans, thence by the way of New Haven monument and around the Green to the Town Hall. The exercises in the hall about D. m. will consist of an oration by MT. Foster of Bridgeport, with music and reading a part of Lin- coln's Gettysburg address by the chap lain. All veterans Of the army and navy not members of the post are in vited to join with it. The veterans re- quest that flowers be brought to the post-room in the morning of Memorial day.

steel to crystalline and thereby become brittle as a file. So far as has yet been discovered there is no remedy for it. It is noe exactly a total loss after gun has become dead, for the steel can be used for thousands of things in the way of bolts. braces and the like for new work and for repairs.
 "A modern gun is an expensive affair, running from seventy-five thousand dollars way up. It is equally as eXpen- sive to keep it in operation, the cost for each cartridge sent from it being more than one thousand dollars, which does not include the putting of the gun on it's emplacement or taking it down, nor the thousands of dollars necessarily expended in paying salaries and sub sistence of the officers and men who op- crate it. This specialization of the metal is one of the mysteries of the sci ence of ordnance. The gun could be re- vivitied to some extent by heating it to a white heat and allowing it to cool off slowly, but the treatment is not exact ly satisfactory or even approXlmately certain as to results. It has been said of us as of other nations that if we kept every gun we own in actual firing ope- ration for even twenty-four hours the powder and shell bill would bankrupt us and there is some truth in it. This specialization of the metal is not con- fined to guns, however. The same thing occurs In the journals or axles used on the railroad care. It is for that reason that careful railroads put on new aXles every five or six years. In the S1lh- ject, though it is custom with us. In Germany it is unlawful to use an axle on passengers cars more than four years, though the limitation on freight cars is not so rigid. As with the oft fired gun, the steel in the journal be- comes so brittle by the specialization in consequence of it's use that it is lia- ble to snap in dozen pieces any time after it's life is ended."-Washingto Star.

Ringing Brothers circus is the big western show that came to New England three years ago and made such a pronounced sensation that thou sands of o1d-time circus goers were prepared to say that it was the best all-round arenic exhibition ever seen in this section of the country. The seating capacity has been greatly aug mented, and the comfort of the public seems to be especially studied. The show has had a good spring business in spite of the exceptionally unpleasant weather, and a cordial reception awaits the show here.
 When the show was here three years ago it had forty-two cars; now sixty cars are required to transport the show from city to city.
