When a Voice gets a-going it some
times goes too far and free and for
gets to be Voice of truth and sober
ness. This seems to us to be the case
with the Voice which is just now
shouting about the condition of affairs
at Yale and in that part Of New Haven
which is right around Yale. OF course
nobody pretends that there are not
foolish and wicked young men among
the large number of students here, and
nobody pretends that they cannot find
opportunities and places in New Haven
to exercise their folly and their wick
edness. They can and they do, as peo-
pie can and do everywhere, but the
assertion or the implication that both
Yale and New Haven are exceptionally
wicked isn't true. 1t is true that there
are few cities of its size in the world
that are as quiet and orderly as New
Haven. 1t is true that during the last
twenty years there has been steady
and large decrease of open and easy
vice here. 1t is true that under the
strict license system which prevails
here the character of the liquor saloons
has greatly improved and their num-
Der decreased. The city is as clean
morally as a city Of 100000 inhabitants
ony 10 Ino al
than most cities of its size are. The
principal occupation of the place Is not
setting wicked traps for the students
and the principal occupation Of the
students is not seeking and falling into
those traps. Sometimes the students
| make so much noise that one might
think they were an organized and il
| limitable Voice, and some of them
| sometimes act very much as some
young men who are not students act.
But on the whole they do very WELL
and it is not often necessary to call out
the militia.
The simple truth is that New Haven
| is as good and safe city to live in as
there is in the Union, and as good a
place to be educated in as there is
| anywhere. A young man is as safe
here as anywhere. And a young man
| who would 'go to the bad" in New
Haven would be apt to go to it in
another place. 1t is a curious folly to
think or say that the descent to Aver
nus is especially steep and slick from
| good old New Haven.

MILAN and the Stewart, entering the
Yukon from the east, all have thelf
sources in this district. South OF the
unknown divide the Frances, Hyland,
Black and Beaver rivers drain large
areas toward the Lizard. All these
streams have been proved to bear gold
at their mouths, but the exploration OF
their upper waters has always proved a
task beyond the power of the poor
prospector. South of the Lard again,
lies another little known area, enbrac-
ing the Omineca and Dejoe river dis
tricts, stretching away to the scene OF
the old Cariboo excitement of 1882 All
this country lies in the mineral belt ex-
tending northward from California and
has proved wherever examined to be
rich in precious metals. The statement
has beeen made that the mineral belt
grower richer the farther it extends
toward the north, but there is no foun-
dalton for any such prophecy. Let US
be content to suppose that it is only as
rich as California, Nevada, Colorado,
Montana, Idaho and the Kootenay OF
British Columbia" This is given on

The idea that the Hon. John Addison
Porter is a good man for governor Of
the State of Connecticut Is certainly
growing in popular favor 1t is gener-
ally recognized that Mr.. Porter's ambi-
ton is an honorable and proper one,
and that should he attain its object his
acts as governor would be entirely free
from influences hostile to the best in
terests of the State. OF course it is
early yet to tell Just how the land lies,
but Mr.. Porter and his supporters have
much reason for encouragement in the
way his candidacy has been received.
There is no doubt that, as matters are
TOW, the people are feeling very friend
ly to Mr.. Porter.

TREASURE LAMP OF THE NORTH.

The Official Klondike Reports From
the BritishColum YearB Books Some
of the Big Strikes-Warning to Pro-
spectors-The UNEMPLOYED Region.
The Year Book of British Columbia
for 1897, edited by r. E. Gosnell Of the
provincial library and statistics de-
partment, contains valuable and relia-
BILE information regarding the Canadian
Yukon. This part OF the manual is
really a digest of all official reports,
provincial and federal, and of all facts,
collected personally by trustworthy
understanding the whole fascinat-
ing region of which Klondike is at pres
ent the center of attraction. An accu-
rateand semi-official account of this ma
ture should be better guide for the
thousands contemplating trip to the
Yukon than sensational rumor, that
grows bigger as 1T rolls eastward. AS
the issue of the Year Book has been
| limited to few thousand copies, near
| ly all of which have already been taken,
a review Of the contents relating to the
Yukon, as made by a writer In the New
York Evening Post, will be of general
| interest.
| The vastness Of the bearing
area staggers imagination. THE Yukon
| district" says the Year Book, "com-
prises an area of approximately $4,000
| square miles, within Canadian terri
| tory, over $780, 900 square miles of which
| is included in the watershed of the Yu-
| kon river. In other words, Its area is
almost equal to that Of France and
| greater than that of the United King
dom by over 10000 square miles" The
| gold field Hes in the same mineral belt
| in the north as California in the south,
and is continuation of Cariboo and
| Cassiar, famous for their gold diggings
many years ago. In an area that is
| from $50 to 600 miles long and from 10
| to $50 miles wide, embracing about 100,-
900 square miles, rich gold prospects
| have actually been found. When 1t is
| considered that Klondike is the only
| part of this territory which has been
exploited. one is prepared to expect
that the Yukon will prove the largest
| and richest gold field ever known.
| OF the actual and probable yields, the
Year Book records that during 1897
some s3,500,000 was taken from the
creeks near Dawson City. 1t continues:
EVERY dollar in gold lifted by the or
binary process of mining costs dollar
to produce it. This will be found par
| ticularly true of the wealth of the Yu-
kon. OF the 10000 people who started
this year $500 each by way of expendi-
| ture would be moderate estimate in
deed. That represents in itself $4,000, 900,
as against $4,000, 600 mined, and in real
! ity $4,000 900 would be nearer the total
| OF the expenditure in reaching the Yu-
kon alone. Again, If we accept the esti-
| mate that at least 100000 persons will
| start for the mines in 1898, at an aver
| age of $500 the amount expended will
be $50 100000 for one year" While the
expenditure for one year reaches a total
of 100000, the gold that will be taken
out of the creeks of Klondike during the
next ten years is estimated at S65. 900, 900
or $4,000, 0O0"The individual finds and
clean-ups." says the Year Book,

the separateness of the clicks of a re-

Bulgaria. England is undoubtedly re-
sponsible for great deal that has
taken place, encouraging these refugees
and melting them to do work which
has already involved their countrymen
in almost irretrevable ruin. If there
We're any chance of Armenian success,
the game would be we'll worth the can
die, but England Is perfectly we'll
aware that it would be far easier for
camel to go through the eye of needle
than for the Armenians to achieve au-
tonomy, and her sympathy with pro-
fessional revolutionists is simply Grim
inal As for Russia, she guards her
frontier with sedulous care, except
wishes to cross, and then she shuts her
eyes and let's him go. He will play into
her hands, without doubt, for a dis
turbed and embarrassed Turkey would
afford her the opportunity which she
has long been seeking. Imprison these
few revolutionists and there would be
no fear of the future. OF course, Tur-
key is not blind to the fact, but she
prefers to pursue barbarous policy
of wholesale murder, with the hope of
discriminating the race. If It be true
that the Armenlans ought to see that
they are scattered and too few in num-
bers to successfully revolt, the Turks
ought to see that for the same reason
they are not to be feared. This war,
however, has been carried so far that
the Armenians Of every quarter, from
Trebizond to the Mediterranean, are
impoverished, and though their recu-
peratiye power is phenomenal and their
ability to add to the census list is
double that of the Turks, 1t is clear
that twenty years of peace will not be
too much to effect their recovery from
the heavy blow they have received.

cause 1t does threaten. Indeed 1t is
almost certain to prevail in the fluffy
gowns we shall wear next summer, but
it is to be hoped that women won't
submit to the infliction in the mid-sea-
SON gowns now coming.
AS far as carrying such weight goes,
though, we have had course of train
ing. What with ornamentation with
braid, folds and fur, our winter dresses
have not been light, SO perhaps the
overdress won't seem like a new and
heavy burden. The weight of the fur
and braid on the dress pictured here
wouldn't count against 1t with one wo-
man in hundred. yet it Is was con-
siderable. On skirt, sleeves and revers,
which were gray green CLOTH the black
braid was set on In diagonal bands,
and on the jacket body, which was
darker green cloth, were fur revers and
fur lined collar. With this was worn a
blouse front of green silk, yelled with
white chiffon and finished with stock
collar to match.
Hemstitching is the very prettiest fin
ish for lingerie and house gowns. 1t
is offered only at very exclusive places,
and then at prices away beyond it's
value. The right way is to hire needle
woman ana have underwear made, for
though cheap cotton underwear can be
bought at figure below what you can
make it for, beautifully made high class
underwear is, as it likely always will
be, put at price represented by the
daintiness and design rather than it's
material or the work on it. That
means that you can make such your
self or have it made by needle wo-
man at about third cost. Like French
candy, it is bother to make at home,
but you can and it will cost about thir-
ty instead of seventy cents a pound.

THE ARMENIAN M4SSACRES.

1t was not generally expected that
the Rev. DIR. George H. Hepworth of
the New York Herald would come out
of Turkey a friend and advocate of
the Armenian revolutionists, and he
hasn't. He has made his final report
to the New York Herald In it he
says: The Armenia massacres were
caused by Armenian revoiutionists, and
if these revolutionists had kept quiet
there would never have been any mas
sacres. That is true beyond the posi-
bility of denial. These rogues, a few
miserable hundreds of them. have
caused all the trouble, while they them
selves have escaped from the conse-
quences of their guilt. They would
have been comparatively powerless,
though, but for the expressed or tacit
sympathy of England and Russia.
England has inspired them with the
notion that they are patriotic heroes,
and they have traded on that fact and
made their living out of it. They steal
their way into a village, stir the inhab-
itants with the hope of autonomy, de-
claring that all they have to do is to
place themselves in open revolt and
then the great powers will rush to
their aid and make them sort of

Cloth dresses are to be frilled with

them dreadfully heavy, but that does
not seem to count with the fashion
makers. In many cases the frills will
have pinked or torn edge, or will be
stitched above a torn edge. but again
the frills will be hemmed and braided.
The effect will be Of an overdress, so

There is some prosperity, in spite of
the croakers and the liars. The secre-
tary Of the treasury has an accurate
list of more than two hundred and fifty
mills, factories and enterprises that
have during the last six months resum-

idle since 1896, when depression became
more acute as the result of agitation
for the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at ratio of 16 to without the
aid or consent Of any other nation"
Most of them have advanced wages
over the old scale. All of them are
running full time, most of them double
time, and in many fires are now never
drawn nor the wheels stopped, three
shifts being required to meet the heavy
