Gov. Pingree now proposes different
plan for municipal ownership. First he
will reduce fares to three cents as an
object lesson or rather bait for the peo-
pie. This he thinks will prove so popu-
lar, that bill allowing the city to buy
the railways can readily be got through
the special session of the legislature
which he intends to call. Local experts
say three cent fares would not sup
port the railways for FIVE years to come,

The Bank of England has taken
prompt measures to insure itself
against an outflow of gold by raising
the discount rate from to 3h per cent.
Its banking reserve is some $25, 900, 900
less than it was a year ago, and its
gold holdings nearly as much less.
These losses are not of recent origin,
but the bank directors have apparently
decided to take time by the forelock
and prevent any further depletion. The
raising Of the discount would naturally
interfere with any return of the gold
lately sent over from this country.

THE SHAMROCK.
Yacht That Is to Try for
Americas Cup Ready
to Launch.

w. Fife, Jr., the yacht designer, has
been in London frequently during the
last few weeks studying the lines of Sir
Thomas Lipton's Shamrock as she grows
into shape. He has not modified his
plans in the slightest detail, so he is evil
IDENTITY as pleased with her appearance as
an actual boat as he was with the designs.
The workmen have now succeeded in
surrounding the worst difficulties in
working the Manganese plates, several of
which were ruined dnring the first at
tempts to do so. But the work is now
proceeding smoothly, though slowly. II
is expected, however, that the yacht
could be ready if desired by the end OF
May. The name, Golden Rod, which il
is said will be given to the America S
Cup defender, is rather startling to Eng
lishmen, most of whom never heard OF
the American flower. The Yachting
World says:
''No fault can be found with the name
but, all the same, it is unpleasantly sug-
gestive of a beating for Sir Thomas Lip
ton"
The owner of the Shamrock will soon
name the date of the launch Of the cup

he found that the cave connected with a
rocky shaft leading to the surface through
which he could see the sky. Returning
to the FIRE look of terror came into his
eyes as he saw a rivulet of water steal up
to the embers and heard the hot Goals
hiss angrily at the intrusion CHANGING
around he saw that the floor of the cave
was rapidly turning into a lake Each
booming assault of the sea was followed
by deeper influx Of water until he stood
ankle deep in the ripping tide. There
was horrible fascination for the fugi-
tive in the insidious increase of the flood.
II lowed so gently each minute growing
deeper and deeper until it reached his
knees. The darkness was so intense that
he could not see his hand held close be-
fore his face. But as each wave receded
he could hear the water trickle away in
faint gurgles. Then there came a horri-
BILE bursting roar and the flood encom-
passed him again, reaching his thighs.
The storm was at its height as the gray
dawn of ST. Patrick's day began to break
over the heaving waters. A hundred
miles at sea giant wave had sped east
ward urged by 20 knot gale. 1t raced
along gaining in momentum with every
mile and swallowing the lesser waves to
add to its bulk, until it assumed the pro-
portions of tidal wave. With the
thunder of bursting planet it crashed
against the cliffs of Arran. Sullivan
heard its mighty impact, he felt the
greedy food tear him from the rock,
there was an awful roaring in his ears
and like chip in a mill race he was
borne along in the heart of the torrent.
1t was night of terrible anxiety in
Kilmartin's cottage, but what alarmed
the inmates more than anything were the
awful noises issuing from the dragons
cavern. Never had such sounds come
from it before.
"The storm has weakened the bastel"
exclaimed Mrs. Kilmartin. "We'll all
be swallowed before the mornin."
In terror the family fell upon their
knees and prayed for the protection of
ST. Patrick against the dragon, which
was expected to make its appearance
every minute. Just as the grey dawn
broke in mist and spume over the island
the big wave hurled itself against the
cliffs. There was such grumbling and
kissing from the cavern that the inmates
of the cottage threw themselves upon
their faces, while from the hole there
burst a cataract of water which inundated
the cottage and burst open the door.
When Bryan mustered up courage to get
upon his feet, he uttered an exclamation
of surprise and delight for there across
the threshold lay the body of Jerry Sulli-
van. His right leg was broken, yet he
was alive but unconscious.
"'Tis my Jerry and not the dragon"
screamed Sheila, taking the head of her
lover in her lap. "The blessed ST.
Patrick has made a hole between the
cave and the dragons cavern and the
water brought him back to me- Glory
be, but I'll say 40 ayes a day to the good
saint for the rest of my life"

GOLD IN INDIA.

If there are any silver orators around
 next year they wont have as much to
 say about India as they used to. India is accommodating gold reserve now that Its currency has been placed on the gold basis The gold has been obtained from Australia. Up to the middle of October 14,100, 900 had been received from that source, and the movement has contin- ued. The India Council found it easier to get the yellow metal in Australia than in London, where a special effort is being made by powerful banks to prevent the eff1ux of gold while the Boer war is in progress. The Councils purchases do not directly affect the In- dian Treasury, since, under the regula- tions adopted by the Council, it has power to issue currency notes to the full amount of gold held. No bad effect upon Indian foreign or domestic trade has resulted from the decision in regard to gold standard. On the contrary India, despite it's famine expenditures, has a surplus in it's treasury this year, owing to the general improvement of business

 William Penn--of course way back number-waa far in advance of the times In which he lived, and he had some correct ideas about education For instance: "The first thing obvious to children is what is sensible. We press their memories too soon, and puzzle strain and load them with words and rules; also to know strange tongue or two, that it Is ten to one may never he useful to them" There are many things in the curriculum of the schools that are needless and a waste of time. The carpenters trade, the modern way of making slap-jacks and night-gowns, can be learned better at other places than in the public schools. The teach ing of music and drawing (water color included) Is well enough, if they are made subordinate to other studies.
 The children of all ages in the vari- ous public schools are wofully deficient in orthography. For more than two years l have at various times tested the skill of New Haven pupils on the common word mosquito. It was found that on the first trial only one in about fifty could spell it correctly Yet it is obvious that a thorough knowledge of the three "Rs'' is the most important for business person or one who makes literary work profession A diction- ary will give the correct way to spell a word, as well as the definition.

fl LITELY FOOTB1LL SEASON.

The football season which has just ended was very lively one, and has much increased the general interest in football. So great and general is the in- terest that the game even came up for discussion in the United States senate yesterday. Next year the President may feel obliged to mention it in his message. What they call "the butchers bilr' when they speak of war has been made out as to football. The record is eleven dead and over sixty injured :: Nose broken 6; hand 2; leg 2; arm 3; ribs 8; collar bone II; dislocated knee pan 1; ankle 3; hip 2. wrist 9; spine injured l; shoulder blade fractured 6; breast bone broken + ruptured kidney I; both legs broken l. both legs para lyzed l. concussion of the brain 5.

What makes most everyone feel that the cloth gown needs as much trim ming as this one has is the fact that so few absolutely plain ones look well. An exception must be noted in case of the finest tailor suits, but their price is so great as to make them generally unattainable. Others look all the way from barely passable to downright dowdy. The trouble in two eases out of three is not all to be laid to the dressaker. The fault Is in the corsetS. If one has well made corsets she may risk the plain gown. If she hasn't. let her go in for loose effects and trim mings The corset Is a very important article of woman's wear. It is now conceded that only the comfortable cor set is safe. Any other will get out of shape. Makers are now giving some room to the diaphram and some spring to the back below the waist. That Is, they are considering the actual human figure in preparing the corset. The one aim of the new corset makers seems to be to guarantee a reduction of the abdomen and a lengthening of the waist. A corset that grips the figure properly and forces an upright posi- tion will do this, but mere pressure will render a woman frightfully uncomfort- able, and probably produce Jumps be- low the corset edges of the corset.

4 FEW QUESTIONS.

The Register says: The committee on
 estimates has no more to do with the
 estimate of the department of educa-
 ticn than the New York Board of All
 dermen has. The charter so provides.
 The lines of the school district and
 those Of the city are not co-existent, that the educa tional estimates shall be confined to the consideration of the Board of Finance therefor. The Cour- fer should seek relief before the General Assembly, in the amendment of the charter, not in misrepresenting the Boards of Education and Finance, which are innocent.
 We'll, well. And what is the Register coming to? Does it intend to seriously argue that because there may be no legal right anywhere to demand pub licity for the items of the estimate for the Department of Education there is no right in a respectful request for those items, whether that request is made by members of the Court of Com mon Council or an ordinary citizen who wants to know? Has it come to this in the New Haven colony that those in- trusted with the spending of their fel- low citizens money don't want them to know just how it is spent, and in order to prevent them from knowing will talk legality?

 It is very difficult to devise new form of the simple band trimmings that are so much used on cloth dresses, but there is a stylish substitute at hand for everyone. This is machine stitching, which is now considered to have ornamental value.

some comment. on the Public schools

| Some Com ments on the Public Schools.
 To the Editor of the Journal and Courier A school inquiry is always more or
 less interesting, even if there Is some acrimony connected with it. Your cor respondent has been a teacher in the l public schools and frequent attention l has been called to the marked difference l between then and now" Apparently
 every opportunity is seized upon to | shorten school time. Nearly every rainy day-when it does rain-or when
 there is snow squall-that is to say when the storm commences at 10 or II o'clock the scholars are turned into the street. They would be a great deal
 better off in doors and at their desks. It is believed with confidence that
 there is not an intelligent person in the city of New Haven who can give a valid
 and good sufficient reason for closing
 all of the popular institutions of learn
 ing, from Westville to East Haven, in-
 elusive on Friday, December l, of the present year. Thanksgiving day was Thursday, November 30, not two days in succession. This was done right in the face of the fact that a long school vacation is close at the doors
 The true statement that time is money has been made time and time again. The pay of the superintendents supervisors, principals, teachers and janitore taken in connection with the time lost on the Friday mentioned by the pupils was worth at the least cal culation five thousand dollars.
 Out of the three hundred and sixty five days in year the average time that the schools are in session will not exceed one hundred and fifty days, and only five hours in a day at that, and often only four hours, three in the fore noon and one in the afternoon If there was not so much school time thrown away by the educational man agement of public schools there might be more room for variety of studies and an opportunity for "frills and fur
