YALE WARNED AGAIN.

Old North college at Yale was found
 to be on fire early Saturday morning,
 As usual, the pajama brigade turned
 out promptly and did yeoman service.
 Perhaps the fire was blown out with
 tin horns. Certainly 1t was done for.
 All now is quiet, and nobody is calling
 for the fire department; but Yale has had another warning. The fact that she has had lots of such warnings in the past hundred years and more, and has got along without attending to any of them, may prevent the new one counting for anything more than it's predecessors But it is true that fire in certain of the Yale dormitories might result in loss of life by reason of the neglect of certain precautions which would, if adopted, practically remove the danger. If there are any fire es- capes On the dormitories the Courant has failed to find them, and it is mis- taken if there are not numerous sec- tions of large buildings entirely cut off from the adjoining sections of the same buildings, so that, in case of fire in one entry penning students up there, they could not make their way through into the next entry and so descend in safety. If this is not present condition of things the COurant would be glad to announce the change and welcome the ovement.-Hartford Courant.

SHAKESPEAREAN RECITAL.

Under the Auspices of New Haven
 University Extension Center" Ham,
 let" the Subject.
 To large, intellectual and fairly appreciative audience in the Hyperion last evening, Marshall Darrach gave one of his interesting dramatic recitals. It was the third of MT. Darrach's "Re- citals of Shakespeare's Plays" in con- nection with the New Haven University Extension Center, and the subject was the immortal Hamlet"
 As in previous readings of the great masters plays MT. Darrach adopts method which appeals to all classes of hearers. He divides the entire play into three almost equal parts and while all lowing the poet to tell the main parts of the drama, the lecturer with well chosen narrative lecture connects the dialogues and speeches into a story both entertaining and instructive. MT. Darraci1 impersonated eight chief char acters and sustained the impassioned and distracted utterances of the melan- choly Dane, the querulous ramblings of the old Polonius, the gentle mouth ser vice of Ophelia, the cunning sophistries of the Queen, the hard casuistries of the King, with an abiding interest from beginning to end. The most striking of MT. Darrach's interpretation were "The Ghosts Message to Hamlet" "Polonius' Advice to His Son." "Hamlet's Solilo- quy on Death "The Scene Between Hamlet and His Mother,'' and the "Graveyard Scene" Perhaps the weak est of these was the soliloquy. It did not appeal to one as the speech of half deranged man contemplating sui- eide. Hamlet's Advice to the Players" was fairly and roundly rendered.
 Altogether the powerful play showed in MT. Darrach's rendering the almost intimate depth of philosophic poesy, read with all the power and sympathy of true artist, a vivid tragic picture graphically { told. MT. Darrach's | next recital will be "A Midsummer Nights Dream," which should prove a delightful subject for the readers ver- satie genius.

 2 NATHAN HALE SCHOOL HOUSE.

Three Hundred and Ten Dollars Pledg-
 ed Towards it's Purchase by General Humphreys Branch, S. A. R.
 At special meeting of the General David Humphreys branch, Connecticut Society Sons of the American Revolu- tion, held in the Foot Guard armory last evening more than $500 was pledged toward the amount which is being rais- | ed by the society for the purchase of the Nathan Hale schol house at New London. The amount was pledged in response to spirited address by Jonathan Truh1bull, president of the 1 state society, in which he urged the | need of securing the aged building as soon as possible. He explained what has already been done towards secur- ing the school house, and then made the welcome announcement that the sum of $500 had been pledged by the society of the D. A. R. in New London. At the close of his remarks the subscription was started which brought forth pledges for the amount named above
 President Trumbull's remarks were made at supper, which was served by Caterer Stewart in the banqueting hall. Earlier in the evening F. H. Coggswell read an interesting paper on the life of Hale. The meeting was quite largely attended.
 The following appeal for subscriptions toward the school house fund, which has been issued in the form of circu- lar, is interesting:
 The school house in which Nathan Hale taugh up to the time of entering the army stands to-day in New Lon- don, in god repair and, with many ad- ditfons and improvements is occupied as a dwelling house. It is one of the few memorials of devoted patriot whose willing and unf1inching sacrifice of his young life for his country, places his name among the purest and truest heroes of all history.
 To save the original building and to free it from the uncertainties of private ownership is the purpose held in view by the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution, and to accom- plish this purpose contributions of money are solicited to the amount of | not less than $5,000. A careful inves- | tigation of the matter shows that this | amount will be needed to reimburse | the owners for the removal of the build- |
  public grounds in New London, where | 1t will stand on Connecticut soil, to | honor the memory of a Connecticut l hero, martyr and patriot.
 Although these motives should be, and doubtless are sufficient to insure the success of our project, it should be added that large and wealthy patriot ic society of New York has been seri- ously considering the purchase of the building, and it's removal to the city of New York, where the fittest and most expensive monument to Nathan Hale has already been erected by that socie- ty. To wait idly by and see this build Ing so removed would be an everlast- Ing shame to Nathan Hale's native state. Connecticut has already allowed Hale's commission to be sold at auc- ion in Philadelphia for $1,775 to a pri- vate purchaser not residing in our state. Let us, at least, have the old school house while we may. I' Jonathan Trumbull, Ernest E. Rog- ITS, Carl J. Viets, Committee of Con- { lecticut Society s. A. R.

Athletic Teams May Not Be Able tt Meet Harvard and Yale at Easter Time.
 London, Dec. 11.-It is said that, pos
 sibly, the proposed Harvard ale-Ox-
 ford Cambridge Easter meeting in the
 United States will not be brought off,
 in which case the bridge
 team will have to go to America in July
 unless the Harvard-Yale team accept
 the suggestion that they visit England again and then go to Paris. Nothing is known at either Oxford or Cambridge University in regard to the published statement that the University of Penn sylvania team will meet the team of the English universities while on their way to Paris. The Oxford Cambridge team has decided not to go to Paris.
 Cambridge, Mass, Dec. n.-Inquiry here shows that the Harvard people think the proposed meet is in return for the visit the Americans made tb Eng land in July of the present year. Har- yard, it is learned, has not done much towards getting the Oxford and Cam bridss athletes to come over, but Yale is said to have been active in the move- ment. Nothing could be ascertained in regard to the Harvard men going to England,
 Manager Dana of the Yale team said of the London dispatch: Tt is the in tention of the Yale Harvard team to challenge the Englishmen. Negotia- tions have been opened, but no formal cha 1lenpe has vet been sent The lime and place have not been decided upon No suggestion about a visit to Paris has been made so far"

Morton Judd, who was ninety-one years of age last November, is well known In New Britain where he frequently visited The deceased was educated in the New Britain schools and early in life rented the rear por- tion of o. s.

OPPOSED TO WAR.
1t Would Mean a Native Uprising in South
Africa.

London, Aug 1.-THE johannesburg
correspondent of the Daily Mail says:
The government is awaiting the appro-
val of the Orange Free States and the
Cape Colony ministry before replying to
the proposal of Mr.. Chamberlain to sub
nit the franchise controversy to a
joint commission of inquiry. l am in a
position to assert that the first draft
of the Transvaars answer was a re-
fusal. The second was an acceptance,
condition on the independence of the
South African republic not being i'm
pugned.
This dependence on Bloemfontaine
and the Dutch cabinet at CapetOwn is
proof Of the chaos reigning in Pretoria
The leading members of the raad are
opposed to war and accuse President
Kruger of being responsible for the
crisis. More than this, despite the war
preparations, the Transvaal generally is
averse TO a conflict.
The Capetown correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle says: I am convinced
that the first shot fired in the Transvaal
will be the signal for general native
rising. The imperial government, I can
assert positively, has been warned ac-
cordingly and is pOStpOning the en-
forcement of the new Basuto hut tax.

HAS CHANGED HIS MIND
Richard Croker Comes Out
Against Imperialism.
BLOODY PAGES IN HISTORY
Exc Grafton for the Men and the Party
Responsible for the Crime-Praise
for Bryan--He Has No
Candidate.

New York, Aug. 1S.-The Herald to-
morrow will say:
Richard Croker, at the Democratic
club last night, said:
Il was wrong in the statements l
made before l went away concerning
the Philippine islands. l based my be-
lief that we should not give up a foot
of soil our soldiers have won upon in
formation that was not complete. l
would not give two cents for man,
who. when he found that he had been
wrong, would not at the first chance
set himself right. Such a man would
not be lit for either politics or private
life
Publicly I made the statement that
l did not believe we should give up
the Philippines, which had cost us SO
many lives. / am not ashamed now
to say to the public that | was wrong.
Il am not playing political game
through this interview. No one man
was responsible for my change of mind.
While | was in Europe / talked with
some of the best informed men there
or anywhere else on the subject of CO.
lonial conquest. | made an investiga-
ton for myself. | reached the conclu-
sion that we have no right at all to
keep the Philippines. We We're wrong
in the first place to pay $20,O00,000 for
them.
"On a question like this there should
be no dividing line between democrats
and republicans. Humanity, not poll
tics, is involved and | am convinced
that humanity, as represented by the
votes of American citizens at the next
presidential election, will record it's
horror and execration of the men and
the party who are. for private gain,
putting bloody pages into history. Be
lieving these things now, l go straight
to the public and frankly say that
was wrong.
Il said that I believed William J..
Bryan was one of the greatest men
America has produced. | believe that
very thing now. But that does not mean
that l shall work for the nomination
Of Mr.. Bryan, or that l think he is the
only man fitted for the nomination. He
is as good a man and leader as could
be found. But l have no candidate.
1T is for the convention to name the
man, and the convention will not meet
for at least 10 months. 1t would be a
travesty on popular suffrage to pick the
candidate before the peoples delegates
meet, and l shall have no part in max
ing such a selection. l shall not even
try to influence the New York state
delegation for anybody"
will Tammany make another fight
| against free silver, as it did at the last
election?" was asked.
Il don't know" said Mr. Croker.
There's lots of time and every issue
may change except the ones against
| trusts and against imperialism and
| slaughter"
