Smoking in Corea.

In Corea all men and women smoke. They begin early. The pipe is a brass bowl, with a reed stem four feet long and brass, amber or glass mouth piece. Accidents often occur from persons falling with long pipe in the mouth, the stem of which is driven down the throat, through the cheek, or into the palate. During the reform period" after the Japan-China war, long pipes were forbidden to the con- mon people, and they turned to cigar cites, which have become rooted in the popular affection. Native cigarettes, which are of poor quality, sell for one cent gold for twenty Little cigars of cigarette size sell for IA cents gold per 100. American cigarettes are used exclusively in the palace, and thousands of them are smoked there. This makes them popular with the up- per classes, and the consumption of them is very great. The best of them cost one cent gold each. The import duty on cigars and cigarettes is 20 per cent. ad valorem. but. in spite of this, the American manufacturers are grad ually coming into control of the mar kat

 FIGHTING BoB's TITLE.

An Incident in His Career While at An
 napolis.
 "Fighting Bob" Evans earned his title the first year at Annapolis. He has made good his claim to it since years before he became skipper of the Iowa, but Fighting Bob' was lacked to him as a cadet At the time he was sent to the naval academy there was a rule of the institution which forbade the decoration of the walls of the ca det's headquarters by hanging pictures thereon or in any way improving upon the furnishing of the cells. The object was wise and twofold. It sought to prevent the boys from becoming soft and luxurious and to head off any eX- pensive rivalry in the way of quitting. In a word, the end desired was to pro- duce hardy and democratic naval of fieers. Young Evans fond mother, like all good women, was q christian, and with her sons academy equip ment packed a framed motto-a quo- tation from the scriptures, so the le- gend runs.
 The first act of Robby D. upon his assignment to quarters was to nail his motto to the wall. He was told to re- move it, but declined. The contumac- ious younster was reported from one officer to another, but resisted argU- ment and command alike. The mar row martinets of the academy resolved to expel him, and orders were at once issued to that effect. The story of the war spread and at last an officer in Lincoln's cabinet intimated very strong ly to the faculty that they would do well to overlook the offence. Preach CTS were beginning to predicate sermons upon the noble cadet who perferred expulsion to taking down the scriptural text, and, as the politician said, the chances were that if the young man were dropped the authorities of the academy would not last long afterwards, as public sym pathy was with the boy. 1t was in this war that Evans became known as "Fighting Bob"

1.-THE Circus Girl" "The Circus Girl'
is brilliant, picturesque and amusing
comedy, and was given here complete
in every detail The stage settings were
beautiful and the costumes and electri-

as 1.-THE cannon king" Under this guise
he has won a romantic schoolgirl, and,
feeling obliged to keep up the deception
or lose her love, he induces the circus
proprietor to allow him to appear IN the
ring. Incidentally, another thread OF
the story follows the adventures OF a
delightfully."- pugnacious little waiter
who in the hope of winning the cash
stakes and thus enabling him to marry
his sweetheart, wire walker In the CIT
Gus. determines to test his strength
against that of the great TURKISH
wrestler, Toothicl1 Pasha.
The principal part, that OF La faVor-
tia was entrusted to Miss Helen Roy
ton. and she assumed the role WIN

Miss C1ary In Louisville Another De-
lIahtfmI Concert Assured

Following Is criticism from the
Louisville Courier-J Journal when Miss
Clary, who is to be the soloist at the
concert given this afternoon by the
New Haven Symphony orchestra, sang
in that city with the Triennial club:
Hers is a magnificent physique and
an example of striking stage presence
Miss Clary has certainly developed her
magnificent vocal powers. A big con-
tralto voice is very difficult to control
and bring down to a yelvety smooth
ness, but she has very nearly reached
that point. "In the duet from Samson
and Delilah" she showed her best work
The majestic music seems especiaIlv
written for her, being intensely dramat-
ic and full Of bravura. Her last num.
Der, The Lorelie by Liszt, was a
splendid and finished vocal effort All
in all, Miss Clary in the Judgment of
many BIDS fair to become to music
what Mary Anderson was to the
drama"
Besides the ever popular Beethoven
Fifth symphony, which the orchestra
plays now in a splendid manner. the
programme contains a Wagner number.

Newton, widow of Thomas e. Newton,
late of West Haven. and executrtx OF
his estate against the Consolidated

Judge Shumway in the jury side OF the

damages alleged to have been suffered
by her husbands estate, because of the
closing up of the grade crossing at
Union street, in West Haven few

done by order Of the railroad commits
sioners in 1894 and that the Newton
property was not damaged, but benefit
ed by the change. State Attorney Will

BLEEDING PILES.

And all other forms of this common
and often dangerous disease readily
cured without pain or inconvenience.
Thousands of men and women are af-
tlicted with some sort of piles, without
either knowing the exact nature Of the
trouble, or knowing it, are careless
enough to allow it to run without tax
ing the simple means offered for rad
ical cure
The failure of salves and ointments
to permanently cure piles has led many
to believe the only cure to be surgical
operation.
Surgical operations are dangerous to
life, and moreover not often entirely
successful, and at this time are no long,
er used by the best physicians or rec
commended by them.
The safest and surest way to cure any
case of piles, whether blind, bleeding or
protruding, is to use the Pyramid Pile
cure, composed of healing vegetable
oils, and absolutely free from mineral
poisons and opiates The following let
ter from Pittsburg gentleman, a Sc
we're sufferer from bleeding piles, gives
some idea of the prompt effectual char
acter OF this pile cure. He writes:
I take pleasure writing these few
lines to let you know that I did not
sleep for three months except for
short time each night because of bad
case of bleeding piles. I was down in
bed and the doctors did me no good. A
good brother told me of the Pyramid
Pile Cure and bought from my drug
gist three fifty cent boxes. They cured
me and I soon will be able to go to
my work again. William Handscfu
46 ST., Cotton Alley, below Butter ST.,
Pittsburg, Pa.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not only
the safest and surest remedy for piles,
but is the best known and most popu-
lar. Every physician and druggist in
the country knows it and what it will
do.
Send to Pyramid Co., Marshall, Mich,
for little book on cause and cure of
piles, describing all forms of piles and
the proper treatment.
The Pyramid can be found at all drug
stores at so cents per package,

THE TELEPHONE COMPANIES.
Talk of n Combination Against tbs
Southern New England,

Winsted Conn, March ga gentle
man Of this city prominently identified
with what is known as the Independent
Telephone companies, with lines in vari-
GUS parts of New York state, Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut is authority
for the statement that the various Of
fees are to connect, one with the other
in opposition to the Southern New
England Telephone company. The lat
ter company is said to be the represen-
tative in Connecticut Of the Bell Tele-
phone company. The so-called indie
pendent companies have a combined
capital of 100000. The first move in
Connecticut will be to connect Winsted
with New Britain, taking in six inter
vening towns. Capitalists in Boston,
Providence. Worcester, Springfield,
Hartford, New Haven and Meriden
have asked for franchises to establish
telephone systems in those cities, and in
some cases they have been granted
while In others the petitions are being
contested. Greatly reduced rates is the
chief reason urged for granting the
franchises. 1t IS Claimed that north
western Connecticut is now practically
covered with the wires Of the Indepen-
dent companies, which also extend into
New York and western Massachusetts,.

DR.. Bacon's Eulogy Over the Late
Henry l.. Goodwin,

| Henry Ia. GOODWIN.
AT the funeral of Henry L. Goodwin
| which was attended at his late home in
Barnside yesterday afternoon, Rev. DR..
| Leonard Woolsey Bacon of Norwich,
an intimate personal friend of Mr..
Goodwin, delivered words of eulogy,
saying that out of an overflow of per-
| sonal love he had come to pay a tribute
to his friend of forty years.
Long remembrance Of dear friend
had made it impossible, at such time,
to say just the word that should be
said, but here had lived righteous
| man, If ever a righteous man did live,
| 1t would be impossible to speak words
of praise in his presence, even his
| dumb lips might protest. He was not
| used to them in his modest life, but he
| had become well accustomed to oblo-
guy and scorn, and his efforts had Of
ten been p1et with sneering and con-
tempt.
He had, however, the approval of
God, speaking through his own honest
COISClCllCC, dllQ Will lIldt IC was COA-
tent He moved about among the
ways of men, his calm, quiet PERSONAL
ity carrying rebuke to unrighteous-
ness. For many years his mind was
active in enterprises for the benefit Of
his fellow men, fearless, tenacious,
making it easier for us all to stand
faithfully in our lot, doing our duty
because we had seen his example. M
Voices from unexpected quarters
were now testifying to the dignity Of
his manhood and the usefulness of his
life But men may be simply right
eous, and Just and not attain to good
ness. Our friend was a good man. We
shall know him better now that he
has passed away, and little by little
tales of his gentleness, of his acts of
Kindness and charity shall be told
Ever since coming to the house Of
mourning the speaker had learned
what he had never heard Mr. Goodwin
allude to in his long friendship Of forty
years-of his patient, fearless nursing
of cholera patients on the Isthmus Of
Panama, when he made with his own
hands the collins for the dead and
placed the dead in them while physi-
clans and authorities had abandoned
them.
There was the gentleness and the
goodness Of the man. And there shall
be many here who shall remember what
goods things he has done for the benefit
of us all. The blessing of those who
in their poverty were aided and in their
distress were comforted will follow him
even into the land Of light.
This life had been wonder to
many. They were perplexed to find
an explanation of its persistent deal
ing with those things that interested
him in behalf of the community. There
was an idea that there was something
behind 1t, that it might possibly be
love of notoriety. There was no un-
Outstanding that faithful service could
come from the purest motives. Peo-
pie did not, could not, understand this
sort of human nature, that could serve
God by serving man. Pr
1t is Dr. Bacon's intention to prepare
a memorial sermon to be delivered In
the East Hartford church, OF which
Mr. Goodwin was a member, at a later |
day, and also to prepare sketchlof
Mr.. Goodwin for publications. III W. |
