THE RACES AT ELM CITY PARK.

George H. Collett to Try to Break the
 One-Half Mile Record-Paced By a
 Triplet Hausman Made Ten Miles in
 Nineteen Minutes-Tom Butler Surely
 to Be Present-Other Notes.
 George IT. Collett, the crack bicycle rider of this city, who now holds the one-half mile record and several other records, will try to break the one~half mile record Saturday. The record is 55 seconds, and Collett thinks he can clip off several seconds. At Elm City Park yesterday, paced by triplet, he made the phenomenal time of 52 sec- onds for the half mile, and by Saturday hopes to lower it to 50 seconds. He is now in good condition and with sev- eral days of hard training should break the record.
 Edward c. Hausman yesterday after noon rode ten miles in nineteen min- utes. Toward the last of the ten miles he made several miles at 1:45 clip At every mile he seemed to increase the speed of his machine and when he had finished the tenth mile and went to his training quarters he was nearly as fresh as when he started. Yester-
 
 Saturday he will change it to 10S gear. He seemed to be too fast for the triplet that was pacing him yesterday and with quads and quints pacing him Sat- urday he will surely break the hour record
 A letter was received yesterday from Tom Butler saying that he and the other crack riders would surely be pres ent Saturday. Butler wishes to win the five mile professional race Saturday, and if he does he will be the national L. A. w. champion He will probably arrive in this city Thursday.
 Clint" Coulter, who will have a race with Albatross, the "Guideless Won | der" Saturday, is training hard at Elm City Park for the event. Coulter has won one race and so has Albatross, and this will decide who Is champion. If Coulter beats this horse he will do what no other bicyle rider has attempt ed to do, as the stallion has a record of 5S seconds for the half mile. People were asking who that country looking gawk was that visited the dry goods stores in this city yesterday. He would go into a store and try to buy pair of red gloves, as the pair he usually wears were torn. He seemed | to get lost in the crowd and would cry out when he spied an exit if anybody had any objections to his levaing that way. It was the verltable "Rube" Shields, who was advertising the race | meet to take place at Elm City Park | Saturday. He created no end of merr- ment by his actions. With his partner, George Phillips, he will be at the races l Saturday.

Musical Programme and Lecture In the
 Orange Street Temple.
 The New Haven section of the Coun- cil of Jewish Women met last evening at 7:30 in the assembly room of the Orange street temple. The meeting was an open one and was much en- joyed by a large crowd. The president of the section, Mrs. Leo H. HerZ, pre- sided, and delivered an address of well come. She spoke of the work of the council during the past summer, refer ring to the successful organization of. the Army and Navy league.
 Miss Anita Trueman, who was asso- ciated with Henry George in the last campaign in New York, delivered a lecture upon The Worlds Great Dreamers." She said in substance: The great men of the world have all been called dreamers. This is because the people did not realize what they realized, But, in fact, the idealists are more useful than the realists because they are the greatest factors in prog ress. A great work of art may lead whole people onward The so-called practical things of life only concern the personal needs of the moment. She spoke of the social reformers as the dreamers of to-day, ,instancing Bellamy and Henry George
 The musical numbers of the pro- gramme were beautiful and were skill fully rendered.
 The programme was as follows: Address of welcome--Mrs. Leo H. Herz,
 president.

THE SWISS oBER-AMMERGAU.
(continued from Fourth Page.)

central figure of the Passion is con- ceiVed and executed with much dignity, simplicity and beauty. No fewer than two hundred and fifty performers are engaged in the representation, and all are said to be natives of Selzach. It is certainly remarkable that Swiss vil- lage of no great size should be able to organize and carry out such a work. One would not wish to see such experi- ments multiplied but, given the propri- ety of the attempt, we cannot but be struck with the intelligence and artis- tic feeling shown by the inhabitants of this little community. It should be added that the hall was well filled, not more than some fifty places at the higher prices being empty. There are to be three more representations during this and next month, but there will be no further production of the play till the year O1.--London Times.

GREAT BRITAIN AND FRANCE.


 Paris, Oct. 1.-The Gaulois to-day, referring to the publication of the Fashoda blue book by the British for eign office, expresses confidnce in sat- isfactory settlement of the matter. On the other hand, the Jour says the sit- uation appears most serious. It says: 'The language of the Marquis of Salis- bury, Lord Cromer, and the Sirdar re- moves the last illusions of the most op- timistic."
 The Journal de Paris affirms that the documents made public in the blue book do not establish the right of Great Britain to the region which France oc- cupies. The Justice expresses the opin- ion that Great Britain, instead of facil- itating the negotiations, evidently aims at forcing the situation.
 The Libre Parole says: Great Brit ain has suddenly unmasked her batter ies, doubtless after an understanding with her good friends the Dreyfusards, She evidently deems the moment come to strike what she supposes to be de- cisive blow. The precipitate publication of the documents was an act of rude ness and menace
 The Eclair says: ''We have always protested against Great Britain's idea that the whole basin of the Nile was included in Egyptian or British infiu- ence, and we persist in our theory, which is confirmed by the treaty of Berlin, that effective occupation alone confers the right of possession. Great Britain now seeks to change the inter- national rules, but the right is on our side, and we hope our diplomatists will compel respect for it."
 The Figaro says: We have been lit orally subjected to an ultimatum reatening war on the Marchand question The, ultimatum was in the pocket of the British ambassador or on his lips. Fortunately, the document was not produced and the word was not spoken. We should be grateful for the skill of M. Delcasse, the minis ter of foreign affairs, in preventing the delivery of the ultimatum, and to the honesty and uprightness of the British ambassador in a critical june ture.''
 Another article in the Figaro to-day intinaates that the tone of he British press towards France is intended to di- vert public attention from the serious check which British policy has suffered at Pekin.

The rebellion in May, 1898, which led to the massacre of the missionaries of the West Coast of Africa grew out of the dissatisfaction of the natives with the imposition of the hut tax, and spread through the Sherbro district, where the headquarters of the Ameri- can missionaries, members of the Unit ed Brotherhood of Christ, were located. The insurgents burned the mission houses and murdered a number of the American missionaries, including MT.
 and Mrs. Cain and Misses Archer, Hat field, and Schenck. Others of the mis- sionaries-Mr. and. Mrs. Burtner, MT. and Mrs. MinshaH, and Miss Muller and Miss Ward-succeeded in escaping to Freetown. A British expedition was subsequently, sent to the scene of the uprising, and the burned bodies of the murdered missionaries were recovered.

EARLY FOREIGN NEVIS.
The Disorders In Paris-Continued
 spreak of the Strike of Laborers.


 spre"k of the Strike of Lab0rers. Paris, Oct. 11.-In spite of the opti- nistic prediction of the end of the strike being near, the trouble continues to spread. The bricklayers and wood carvers to-day decided to join the strikers. The city is perfectly quiet, but the enormous increase in the strength of the garrison points to the fact that the government fears political raher than labor troubles Not since 1870 has Paris looked so warlike.
 The strikers central committee is a political and revolutionary organization and it is engineering the dispute as if it were a strike of the proletariat. No conflict between the soldiers and strik CTS has yet taken place.
 A number of young men of title made demonstration in front of the house of the Duchess d'Uzes on the Champs Elysees, on Sunday evening. They were led by Prince Henry of Chartres and Count Sabran de Ponteves, and cheered a passing squadron of cuiras- siers with cries of "Vive rArmee!" Thence they proceeded to an anti-re- visionist meeting, presided over by M. Millevoye, where they shouted "Vive le Roll" They afterwards dispersed.
