THE YALE BREED.

The Yale authorities are paying a lit- tie too much attention to the Voice and it's attacks on the university We doubt whether its influence exerted in so extravagant and vicious a way, will reach many people who would other wise send their sons to Yale, and deter them from so doing. The pictures it prints this week of men who have agreed not to send their sons there do not seem to us to include a single one who would have done so anyway. Among Yale graduates and fathers of probable Yale men, there Is apt to be a broader spirit and more reasonable sentiment than the Voice caters to, and its wholly unwarranted accusa- tions and congregations of what facts actually exist showing the temptations to which Yale students are subjected must be repulsive to the fair-minded spirit which Yale inculcates. Still by yielding to the irritation of the hour and replying to it's attacks, Yale au- thorities are calling the matter to the attention of many people would never see it if it were confined wholly within the limits of the influence of the Voice itself. The marked copies that are sent out to Yale graduates all over the country would be looked over laughed at, deplored a little perhaps where a little truth was distorted through the congregations, and then thrown away and forgotten. The Yale breed is not the kind to which this sort of misrepre- sentation appeals. Amer ican.

THE EXAGGERATED CRITICISM
 OF YALE.

The attack on Yale's habits and mor- als has developed the fact that Yale vl- tality is not at all impaired and that goes quite ways to prove that the charge about Yale excesses is untrue The graduates and the undergraduates are kicking in all parts of the country and the kicks are pretty vigorous at that.
 Two or three years ago a minister's wife raised breeze by stating her preference for a certain hot place as an educational institution to Yale college, but the very violence of her language impaired the opinion she expressed about Yale life. The present attack is more definite and explicit and therefore more serious attention Is given to the defense of that ancient institution and its men than would have been thought worth while "a the other case, which caused more or less talk and then died a natural death.
 The last story is so overdraWn that it refutes itself, though friends of Yale are free to admit that some of the young men abuse the liberty permitted in the life of the university, but the proportion is small and the influence of the great undergraduated body is ex- erted against all forms of excess and very successfully. It is considered bad form to be incorporate and there is nothing that the youth are suscepti- ble to as that form of rebuke compre- hended in the term bad form.-NeW London.

WATERBURY MASONIC TEMPT
 SOLD

Waterbury Masonic temple, locate d on Bank street, was sold Monday to Mrs. Caroline o. Clark of Waterbury by the Masonic Temple A ssociatiop. This building was dedicated in 1883 and at that time it was thought to be the finest temple in New England out side of Boston. The land on which it was erected cost $200O0, and the build ing S60,OOO. The purchase price is not given, but it is understood to have been about $100,000. The reason for the sale is that the association has out grown it's quarters. The leases run two years longer, and it is supposed that at the expiration of that time a new tenn pie will be built.

BRINGING BODIES HOME.
Gen. LudinRton Completes Arrange
ments for Transporting Remains.

General Ludington, auartermaster general
Of the army, has completed arrangements
for bringing back to this country the bodies
OF American soldiers and officers inferred
at and in the vicinity of Santiago, Cuba;
Ponce and other points in Porto Rico, Ma
Mia and Honolulu. The graves have been
carefully marked by officials of the quarter
masters department, who have gone over
the several fields and have succeeded In
identifying nearly all of the American dead.
A large number of metallic caskets are now
being manufactured. The shipments of the
caskets will begin about January TO- and a
force of skilled men Will go with them to
attend to the work of disinterment, hermet-
ically sealing the caskets and shipping
them back To this country. They will be
brought on government transports and the
first caskets will begin arriving about the
end of January. They will probably be
brought to New York. and from that point
sent TO relatives and friends. There is an
appropriation of $4,000 for this purpose
To prepare for the work of removal Mr..
Rhodes OF the quartermaster's office was
dlspatched to Cuba, where he spent some
time in making ground maps showing with
the greatest minuteness the location of
American graves. One large map of the
entire Santiago field shows the scattered

Besides this, there are detailed maps of all
parts of the field, showing groups of graves

Commercial competition between the
