All SOLID HERE.

The Chamber of Commerce at it's
meeting yesterday rightly represented
the sentiment Of New Haven in the
following resolution: Resolved, That
we hereby pledge our support to Pres
ident Mckinley should he deem that
the necessities Of the situation demand
a resort to arms"
New Haven is loyal to the backbone
in this emergency, and it's backbone is
firm too. If war comes President Nc
Kinley will have no heartier supporters
in the land than the people of this city,
who, having thoroughly approved Of
his efforts to bring about peace with
honor, will just as thoroughly approve
of the efforts he may be called on to
make to carry on war with honor and
victory.

WHY THE BANTAM WON.

He Belonged to a Man Whose Sporting
Blood Was of Poor Quality.
1.-THE meanest man I ever knowed,"
said sport yesterday, was chicken
tighter. Now, / amt saying nothing
against chicken fighting, for think it
is all right, but I mean to say that this
man wasn't a straight chicken fighter.
Anything went with him. All he want
ed to do was to win. l have knowed
him to have rooster that he couldn't
get no fight with, because the rooster
would whip anything; and l have
knowed him to paint that rooster blue
so as to get up crap. Well, the worst
thing he ever did l shall remember to
my dying day.
"Bill, that was his name, was with
lot of us fellows one day when we were
talking about heavyweight game
cock that had been beating everything
in the pit. oh, that rooster amt so
warm, said Bill, in g. careless fashion.

Johnson, and as far as possible carry
on the government without reference to
him.
There is altogether too much truth
in the Herald's criticism. But fortu-
nately Congress came to it's senses
quickly and it and the President are
now harmonious, as they should be at
such a momentous time.

SOME IRREGULARITIES OF ANTS.
Gucy l.. Verrill in the Popular Science
Naxus

News.)
The ants which here claim my partic-
ular attention belong in colony on
large rock near my home, and every af-
ternoon spent with them reveals some
new wonder. They are small black
ants. They apparently have their hole
far under a crack in the rock, as there
Is a small opening through which they
go in and out. There must be at least
two hundred ants in this colony, and
every one is just as busy as If the
whole work of maintaining the colony
devolved upon him alone Hour after
hour they toll up the rock, each one
carrying food to the home; and then,
leaving their burdens, they go back
again; and so over and over all day
long they repeat this performance.
I have lately taken to feeding them
with syrup, and crowds of thirty or
forty ants gather around each drop
that is placed near the nest. In all the
time have watched them have never
seen one push another away; each one
is allowed a full share in the fortunes
that fall to the colony, and a share is
taken in the misfortunes as well,-an
example that might we'll be followed
among human beings.
Some ants have curious customs,
funerals being among the number. If
one member of the colony dies the rest
hold a consultation and evidently make
arrangements for the funeral A COM
pany of about thirty usually gather
around the dead ant, and two act as
bearers, by carrying the deceased
member, one at his head and the other
at his feet, or rather, the tips of his
hind feet. Then a procession is formed
and with some walking before and
some behind, they march slowly to
some place where there is, earth enough
to bury the dead. The two bearers lay
their burden on the ground, taking care
to find a smooth place while they
scratch a little hollow in the earth.
Again lifting the dead ant they lay him
down in the hole and scratch the earth
over him. The whole company then
hold another consultation and that be-
ing over, they form line and return
home. I have seen this ceremony per-
formed again and again, but the ants
will never bury an ant from another
community,-a stranger is always de-
voured instead.
Another curious custom is the way
in which they communicate with each
other. When two ants meet they rub
their antennae together, and by that
means they are enabled to give and re-
ceive messages. If a strange ant en-
tiers the colony, which is very seldom,
as they generally know better than to
NEEDLE with their neighbors' AFFAIRS
every ant that happens to be near at
the time will try to catch the interlo-
per, and when one succeeds will hold
him prisoner until help arrives and the
stranger is deyoured.

frosts. You may have 1t in the "pen-
wiper" style if you want it so, leaving
each sections edges plain, but because
of the current liking for abundant
trimming, it is better to ornament
those edges. To-day's picture is one
way, but there are so many feasible
methods that you can choose for your
self. This garment was dove gray
broadcloth, it's lower edge falling lit
tie short of the waist line. Silk braid
of a darker shade of gray made very
rich trimming for it, and black velvet
faced it's collar
1t is the liking for trimming just
mentioned that is keeping women sew
ing, even some of the women who
ordinarily do not need to Save. But
this year their allowances simply will
not go far enough for trimming. AS
a result of her sewing, yards of half
inch ribbon are finished on the edge
with an equal number of yards of baby
ribbon, the baby ribbon having already
been edged along one selvedge with
narrow lace. And after the half-inch
ribbon is thus finished at one side, the
other edge is drawn full, the result be-
ing an adorable frill trimming, that,
though yards and yards is still ever so
much shorter than the materials that
have been sewed.s The sewer on such
job knots firmly the end of her run
ming thread because think Of the work
all for nothing if the thread should
Slip This trimming Is made in full
combinations of color. White satin rib
bon is edged with black baby ribbon,
which in turn is edged with white or
black lace. AS a rule the baby ribbon
is black, no matter what the color of
lace and half-inch ribbon. But a COM
bination of black and white Is the most
generally useful if you are just making
to have on hand. FLORET1E.

FASHION NOTES.
The Current Handy Wrap.

The jaunty little cape in three or
more sections was not banished long,
having already bobbed up for spring
use, and a style in capes presented
newly in the spring is bound to last
well into the autumn, no matter what
happens. So this new garment should
be considered, not only as protection
of spring days, but as safeguard
against the chill of summer evenings
and as wrap to ward off autumn

Mr.. H. c. Russell, a scientific man of
New South Wales, announces as re-
suit Of prolonged examination of his
tory from the earliest times the sea-
sons Of drought recur with unfailing
regularity at intervals Of nineteen
years. Of 2OS drovghts recorded since
the year 900 all but fifteen conform to
this theory, which is that there are,
every nineteen years, one long period
Of three years during which the rain
fall is somewhat efficient, and a short
er period between each of the long
periods when the deficiency is excess
sive. He even finds a confirmation Of
the bible chronology in the fact that
the dates of the Egyptian drought in
Joseph's time, the drought during King
David's reign, that fortold by Elijah
and that predicted by Elisha all fall
into the nineteen year period.

thinks, land, presumably, do not, care

what they say about me, since I have
received from them infinite kindness
and an appreciation too generous. The

have come to my notice, entirely mac
curate-I may say untrue To the best
of my recollection, have said nothing

 OF ALL OLD BUSINESS.
Spanish Authorities Preparing to Make Their Final Reports to the span-
 ish Government.

New York, Nov. 3.--A dispatch to The Herald from Havana says:
 The Spanish authorities are preparing to close all matters of the administration of the island. A decree has been issued by the minister of finance stating that Oct. 81 was the last day for the inaugu- ration of new business, and that all cur rent affairs would be ended during the month of November, when inventories of the different departments would be completed and filed and packed and sent to Spain.
 At the request of the Spanish, letters had been addressed to General Wood at Santiago by the Americans requesting that he afford every facility for the re- moval of the bodies of Generals Yara del Rey and Santoscildes, the commis- sion to remove which will leave Havana shortly.
 A formal note has passed giving Dr. Laine permission to visit the military hospitals. Admiral Sampson has de- eided not to leave Havana during the work of the commission. The work oI cataloging property is proceeding rapid ly. It is expected that it will be tin- ished Friday. The construction of the pier at Marianao has been temporarily suspended owing to the rough weather.
