The dining room was decorated in the

Probably no law has provoked more
open rebellion among the people, than
the fish law passed by the late legisla-
ture. Yellow river is filled principally
with carp. fish which multiplies rapid
ly and soon drives out every other fish
more valued as a dainty morsel than
itself. Fishermen can see no consis-
fancy in observing a law which protects
pest and virtually provides for the ex-
termination of bass, pike, sunfish, blue
gills, etc. Better had such fish disappear
down the outlets of hungry citizens
than before the destructive invasion of
a school of carp. Farmers too, feel an
injustice done them by the law. When
the river is measured off with their land
and they are compelled to pay taxes
upon it, they claim the right to fish in
its waters as something inalienable
They might Justly envy the man who
resides by the shore of lake. He does
not pay taxes on the water and he can
fish in it at will. In this one can readily
see a double injustice.

CLOSE OF PEACE CONFERENCE.
It's Work Reviewed at the Final Session
 at the Hague.

It's Work Reviewed al the Final Session
 at the Hague.
 The Hague, July 29-The internation-
 al peace conference met for it's final sit
 ting to-day. when it was announced
 that sixteen states had signed the ar
 bitration convention, fifteen the other
 two conventions, seventeen the declara-
 tion prohibiting the throwing of pro- | jectiles or explosives from balloons, six I teen the declaration prohibiting the use | of asphyxiating gases and fifteen the | declaration prohibiting the use of ex- | pansive bullets.
 | A letter was read from the queen of | Holland to the pope asking his moral | support of the conference and the re- | ply, promising cooperation and recall | ing the fact that he had many times 1 performed the function of arbitrator, and assuring her majesty that in spite of his present abnormal position the pope would continue to seek the ad- vancement of civilization.
 Baron de Staal delivered the farewell address, thanking the representatives of foreign states. He said the work &C., complished. while not so complete as might be desired was sincere, wise and practical The great principles of the sovereignty of individual states and in- terms tional solidarity apparently so op- posing, had been recOnciled by what they had accomplished. He affirmed that in time to come institutions which had their origin in the need of concord would be the dominating influence and that thus the work of the conference was truly meritorious.
 Minister Estournelles and pr. Beau fort followed the latter saying that if the conference had not realized Utopian dreams, nevertheless it had disproved pessimistic forebodings, and the moral effect would more and more influence public opinion and aid governments to solve the question of the limitation of armaments, which still remain a source of grave consideration for sta tesmen of all countries.
 Baron de Staal then declared the con- ference closed.
 The three conventions dealing with ar hitration, the laws and customs of war and the adaptation of the Geneva con vention to naval warfare were not sign ed by Germany, Austria Hungary, China, England Italy, Japan, Luxem- bunrg, Servia, Switzerland or Turkey. The United States only signed the ar bitration convention, and that under re- serve. Rumania also made reservation.
 The three declarations prohibiting the of explosives from balloons, the use of asphyXiating projectiles and the use of dum-dum bullets were not { ~. China, England, Italy, Japan, Luxem- burg, Servia or Switzerland, while the United States only signed the declara- tion regarding the throwing of explo- sives from balloons. l

LIQUID AIR.
Some of Its Possibilities

It would seem that certain uses may
 be found for liquid air in which con
 sidera tion of cost are not so important
 as is the ability to obtain the effects IT
 view. In warfare, for example, the possession of highly concentrated en- ergy-stores under control is very inn portant. Iiuid air can be rapidly con verted into compressed air at six tons per square inch. This would probably be useful in the projection of high ex- plosives Compressed air IS now used for propelling mobile torpedoes, or flsh . torpedoos, as they are caiieo' oirisipie torpedoes either depend for power upon compressed air or the electric emery or storage-b battery. Compressed air re- ouires high pressures and very strong and heavy containing vessels. Liquid air can be stored without pressure or at
 low pressures, and can be eVaporated at any desired pressure, while its pulk represents that of air under. SUD at mospheres.r A s-storage-battery would probably be from five to ten times as heavy as liuuefied air in a receptacle, for equal available energy. But no stor- battery could be discharged at an equivalent rate.
 Submarine boats and flying mashines may yet find use for liquid air. In the submarine boat it could be evaporated by the heat of the surrounding water. and after furnishing power 1t would Ventilate the boat. Before the final discharge it could be burnt with oil in fuel engine for further power. We may find use for it in the flying machine. For emergency work it could in evapor- ating cool the cylinders of fuel-engine and yield power as a result. Moreover, control of the. submergenee of a boat could be effected by the use of liquid air, so easily gasified, to add to the dis placement
 The great feature of the application of such power as liquid air would be it's emergency value. By this is meant the ability to obtain at will sudden out put far beyond the normal. Animal power notably possesses this emergency value, and the success of electric trolley systems largely depend upon the fact that. when needed, the station can be called upon for a temporary delivery to any single car or train, of a power greatly in excess of the rated output of the motors.-Professor Elihu Thomson in the Engineering Magazine

AN HONEST MAN.
Deputy Collector Marggraff Found One
 in the New Haven Depot.

l III l0e NtW lldNGil IJSpul
 | Last Monday morning on returning from the collectors outing at Madison | Deputy Marggraff of the fourth dlvi-
 sion, arriving at the New Haven depot, | rushed inside to buy couple of news papers In his hurry he was handed | two morning papers of the same kind, and MT. Marggraff rendered $2 bill in payment The newsdealer handed back
 but 96 cents in change and the collec- tor hurried to catch his train. On his way to Waterbury the idea of paying $1.04 for two New Haven newspapers
 came to him, and he told Conductor Beers of the circumstance. The latter
 said he would mention the fact to the
 newsdealer on his return to New Ha-
 ven and secure the dollar which right
 fully belonged to MT. Marggratf. The matter was spoken of to the newsdeal- CT, and the latter, J. A, Collins, prompt
 ly returned the money by mail to MT.
 Marggraff in letter saying that he found himself dollar and some odd cents ahead of the amount called for by his sales on that day. MT. Marg- graff says he always had an abiding faith in humankind, which, he claims has been greatly strengthened by the circumstance mentioned above.-Water- bury American.

\ PEN PORTRAIT OF TURGUE
 NEFF.

Turgueneff sappearancei Is well known.
 Tall, strongly built, the head covered
 with soft and thick gray hair, he was
 certainly beautiful his eyes gleamed
 with intelligence, not devoid Of touch of humor. and his whole maner testified
 to that simplicity and absence of affec- tation which are characteristic of all
 the best Russian writers. His fine head [ revealed formidable development of
 brain power, and when he died, and
 Paul Bert, with Paul Reclus (the sur
 geon) weighed his brain, it so much surpassed the heaviest brain known | that of Cuvier,-attaining something
 over 2000 grammes, that they would not l trust to the scales, but got new ones, to
 repeat the weighing.
 1 His talk was especially remarkable
 He spoke. as he wrote in images When ] he wanted to develop an idea, he did not resort to arguments, although he was 1 master in philosophical discussion; he confirmed and illustrated his idea by scene presented in a form as beautiful as if it had been taken out of one of his novels.
 Of all novel-writers of our century, uIS utilti IHS ttl ltdliily dtldluetl tuP greatest perfection as an artist, and his prose sounds to the Russian ear like mu- sc-a music as deep as that of Beetho- ven. His main novels-the series of Dmitri Rudin, "A Noblemans Re- treat,' "'On the Eve,' Fathers and Sons" Smoke" and Virgin Soil'-- represent the leading history king types of the educated classes of Russia, which evolved in rapid succession after 1S4S,-all sketched with fullness of phi 1osophical conception and humanita- rian understanding, and an artistic beauty which has no parallel in any other literature. Yet Fathers and Sons"-a novel which he rightly con- sidered as his profoundest work-was received by the young people of Russia with loud protest. Our youth declared that the nihilist Bazaroff was by no means true representation of his class; many described him even as a caricature upon nihilism. This misun- derstanding deeply affected Turgueneff, and, although a reconciliation between him and the young generation took place later on, at St. Petersburg, after he had written Virgin Soil" the wound Inflicted upon him by these attacks was never healed.-Prince Kropotkin in the

ANNUAL CRUISE SATURDAY
CHTF POINT YACHT CEUB FLEET TO
 SAIL THE EASTWARD.

Destination to be Martha's Vineyard
 Prizes to be Awarded for Winners ot
 the Several Dny's Runs-Ciub to In-
 On next Saturday morning at z
 o'clock the City Point Yacht club will
 start off on it's annual cruise to the
 eastward All arrangements for the
 event have not as yet been concluded
 but will be at the next meeting on
 Thursday evening; and judging from present indications the event will be
 one of the most enjoyable in the clubs
 history.
 | The general orders for the run as is-
 sued by Commodore Frank Swift show that it is the clubs intention to make the run to Block Island and thence to Newport, New Bedford and Martha's
 Vineyard The return trip will also in
 clude stop at Block Island, while
 from thence the sail will be to New London and home Nearly all of the owners of large boats have thus far ex- pressed their intention of taking part, and as this part of the club fleet is larger than ever this year, splendid showing will be made. At the start off the club will be accompanied for the hrst days sail by a number of the smaller boats. Prizes will be awarded on the boats return to the winners of the different days runs.
 Some of the boats which will take part are Sloops-spray. Commodore Frank Swift and brothers; Nellie. Vice Commodore Charles Stevens; Typhoon, Frederick Catlin; Madeleine, John Mason; Herald, John Spear; Paola, Messrs. Eaton and Balzer Stranger, Messrs. Marshall and Wagner; Cora, George A. Kay; Pennant, Frederick Delert; Handy Andy, Andrew Me. Queenv.
 The racing spirit in the club is this year being fostered more than ever; and the rocking chair fleet Is as a con- sequence smaller than ever. Recent ad- ditions of desirable boats to the club have made the number of boats in each class unusually large, and there is hardly day but sees a friendly race between some of the boats of the same class.
 A movement Is now on foot to insti ute series of Saturday afternoon races for all classes. No time allow ance will be given to boats in the same class and if one wins it will be on it's merits. Prizes will be awarded at the end of each race, and at the end of the season the winners of the greatest num- Der of races will be presented with val uable cups,
 These and the ladies' day races at the club along with the approaching cruise and the annual Labor day races furnish an interesting programme of events for the season The Saturday afternoon races especially will furnish a much needed impetus to yachting around New i Haven.
 Another event of interest to yachts men in connection with the City Point , club is it's recent purchase of a new lot | and mooring place. The new grounds ! are down near the City Point park, where the location is unsurpassed, the | water being deep and the anchorage | good. The club does not anticipate i moving the house until the fall, when | important additions and Improvements [ will be made. The house at it's new To- cation will rest upon splling and will be approached by long dock, It will also be enlarged and improved in many | re pects

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

MT Editor:
 Inotice in an article in the Religious Herald sentence which quoted as an extract does not change its sense in the least, and the sentence is this:
 "Card parties of professed Christians are responsible by their example and influence for the gambling and betting and quarreling of these who make no profession of piety."
 To be easy in criticism of that state ment I will simply say that is putting it much too strong. How many fair minded people do you suppose there are who believe, supposiug all profess ing Christians or other equally as good people elimi ate card parties from their entertainments, that the gambling, bet ting and quarreling class will be in fuenced by such action, and cease their gambling, betting and quarreling? !? Not to carry the argument further l re- main yours truly,
