WHAT is BEING DONE
BY THE UNITED ROYS, BRIGIDES
OF AMERICA.

Objects and Results of the Notable Or
ganization as Described by Major w.
sentation of the Case.
No one who has not given considerable
time to a study of the work Of the Boys
Brigades can at all fully understand the
great work this new organization is ac-
complishing
The first company was organized by
Lieutenant William A. Smith, of the
Lanark Rifles, GLASGOW, Scotland. This
officer, with a wisdom born of despair of
ever controlling the street gamins which
crowded and over-ran every church or
ganization formed for their benefit, con-
ceived the idea of forming the boys into
military companies. The plan was tried
and proved great success. Boys, hith-
erto intractable, were found in many
cases to yield most readily to military
authority
Since that time the movement has
spread all over the United Kingdom,
America and Canada, and is everywhere
hailed by those interested in boys as the
solution Of ''how to control and train our
boys"
The movement has a five-fold object in
view; to instruct the boys in the ffunda-
mental truths of religion, to instill in
their minds love for their country and
reverence for the flag, and by 50 doing
lay the foundation for their future good
citizenship; to teach them to respect au-
thority, to give them the training which
will best develop the whole body; and
fifth, to teach them to be leaders. This
last point needs especial emphasis; not
because it is the most important, but
because it is so often overlooked by
those having charge of the training of
our youth. The opportunity offered by
several years of work with, and COM
mand over unskilled labor, has taught
the writer that a great need of to-day is
for trained men and women who are
able to direct others. We have ditch
dggers, small salaried store clerks,
street sweepers and all others who are
willing or obliged to do the drudgery of
life, by the millions; but our supply of
leaders to direct this unframed mass is
mighty scarce. A business man will go

BIG sHAD SEASON PREDICTED.
795 Chapel Street.

BIG SHAD SEASON PREDICTED.
From present indications in Essex and
nearby towns on the river the shad in
dustry is to be conducted on an exceed
ingly large scale this spring. The catch
last year and size of the fish almost
warrant a sure return of this famous
fish, and always considered the king fish
of Connecticut river. 1t Is doubtful if
any of the abandoned fish places will
build seines this year, owing to the i'm
mense outlay, preferring to wait until
another year. The fish houses are gone
and fish places nearly level with the riv-
er banks. Last year the only fishing
that was done was with gill nets, but
not over ten nets We're at work from
Saybrook Bar to Brockway's Island.
The enormous catch by them however,
and the size of the fish returned to the
fishermen large revenue. Night after
might their catch was far better than
twenty-five years ago, and the shad
larger. Often one hundred shad We're
taken before midnight. So large was
the catch that the fishermen found it
difficult to dispose of them. So many
years had elapsed since Connecticut riv-
er shad were in New York markets that
fish buyers hestated to buy them, but
as the season advanced the demand for
the fish exceeded the supply. This year
the buyers are offering good prices for
all they can engage. Credit was given
to the hatchery for the large run, but
the shad were more of a Savannah river
shape, short and very thick on the back
the first caught being fully as fat as
those caught the last Of May.-Hartford

YALE NOTES.

While the matter of determining
whether the house and grounds left by
the late Professor Marsh to the univer-
sity shall be used for his suggested pur-
pose of a botanical garden rests with the
Yale corporation the prevalent belief of
many of the members of the faculty,
says the New York Post, appears to be
that the property will be sold and the
proceeds turned into the Marsh residual
ry fund. Such is pretty sure to be the
case unless the botanical department is
endowed hereafter with more than the
present meagre twenty-five thousand
dollars of funds, as money probably
cannot be supplied for the enlargement
of the department from the general
funds of the university. Such pro-
spective result Is to be much regretted.
The grounds Of Professor Marsh, while
at some distance from the college, are
already well stocked with indigenous
plants. and the house is fairly adapted
for botanical collections and similar
uses. The whole property In fact
though perhaps at considerable expense,
could be made botanical center and
plant for the whole university. In con-
nection with the botanical department
it will be recalled that last year Mrs.
Caroline K. Eaton, of this city, widow Of
Prof. ID. C. Eaton, gave two thousand
dollars to the university in memory of
her husband for the foundation OF the
Daniel c. Eaton graduate scholarship
open to seniors of the scientific and aca-
demic departments. A little while be-
fore the family Of Professor Eaton had
presented to the university his valuable
herbarium. Thus, within about eighteen
months the university has received three
botanical gifts
The efforts to secure a site for the
Yale University Hall have once again
directed attention to the enormously
high price at which private property
is held in the neighborhoed of the cam
pus and the obstruction to Yale's physi-
cal growth. The owners, anticipating
time when the college authorities must
take the properties, neither consent to
sell at a reasonable figure nor make I'M
provements. AS result the Immediate
environment Of the campus remains
humble in places almost squalld not
few of the same old and small dwellings
still remaining exactly as graduates of
half a century ago remember them. In
time they will be cleared out, but the
process will be slow. When Yale owner
ship reaches completely to York street
on the west and Wall street on the
north. the immediate environment Will
be greatly improved, but the costly pro-
blem of further extension Will still re-
main.
The offer of graduate scholarships in
the Scientific school of one hundred dol
lars each, given by the governing body
of the school to graduates Of high prof.
cheney in special studies, has been re-
peated.
The deputation committee. so-called,
of the Yale Young Mems Christian asso-
citation will again this year continue its
work of visiting preparatory schools to
explain the religious work and aims of
university life. During the year past
five preparatory schools have been WISH
ted. The new Yale Mission in this city
is to be kept open during the Easter re-
cess.

THE BENTHEIM STORY
His Alleged Revelations Treated Light
 ly by Foreign Officials

Washington. September 5.-The officials of the state department have been much interested in the remarkable story of the Artist Bentheim, of Atlanta of his con- nection with the German secret service. The point in his narrative that partcu- larly attracts attention at the state depart ment Is the allegation that United States deputy and vice-consul at Sonneberg has been serving as a German agent to con- vey secrets relative to war matters stolen from the French government and that the official has used the United States consult ate and the official letter heads and en- veiopes of the consulate to further his end.
 The records of the department show that Alvey Florschultz was appointed vice andsdeputy United States consul at Sonne- berg in 1888. He had been connected with the banking business in the town and re- signed the place of cashier of one of the largest banks to accept the position in the consulate. His record is exceptionally good.
 When the consulate was removed from Sonneberg to Coblentz, Florschultz went along. He has given satisfaction at every point and has frequently discharged the
 
 that official. He still holds his place.
 Inquiry made into the accuracy of the details of the statement made by Ben- theim appears to confirm most of them. His claim that he was soldier in the Two Hundred and Second regiment of New York and discharged in Washington. Notwithstanding this the officials of the war department give very little heed to Bentheim's statements though now that they have been given such publicity it may be found expedient to quietly investi gate the matter
 ! The German embassy treats the Bentheim story lightly and while the officials say there are a number of circumstances relat' ing to his alleged employment in the mii- tary service at Berlin are consistent with the established system there, yet they will not dignify the story by going into details. Sculptor Twentanove, who is mentioned as the one who will be visited by Bentheim in Washington, has gone abroad.

States. This is demonstrated by the re- ports of the supervising special agent of the treasury of the United States for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1899. This report shows that the cost of collection at the port of New York is 2.S0 per cent; at the port of Philadelphia, 3.S0 per cent; San Francisco, 7.20 per cent; New Orleans, 1850 per cent. and Baltimore 1890 per cent.
 If the first six months of the present year be a criterion by which to judge col .lections, the annual collection of customs at the great commercial ports of New York, Philadelphia and Boston only, in the order named, will exceed those of Havana. As matter of fact, the collections of the port of Boston only exceed those of the port of Havana by something less than $4OO, ,OOO.
 The percentages given above are ex- ceedingly credtable to the customs ser vice of Cuba, the more so because they are based on the business of period when there was a lack of organization due to the recent inception of the customs service in Cuba, and in which the com merce of the island was in an unsettled condition. For the reason just cited and for the additional reasons that many of the customs officers were entirely unfa- miliar with their new duties and that ex- traordinary expenses due to the complete .ly dismantled condition in which the ser vice was left by the previous administra- ton, were incurred, the statement above made is most surprising and satisfactory
