earth could swim through, save one.
There is the sheer precipice, which no
one on earth can climb, save one. There
is the high tower from which no one,
save one, could jump without evolving
mincemeat. Fortunately, there is just
that one, made for just that place, and
he always turns up, just in the nick of
time, too.
There are indications that our drama
is setting down in its old age. There is
not the former restlessness about it, and
distracted it's frivolous youth. High
class plays now are enacted in one
place, or two at the most. Act /, Mrs.
Joness drawing room; Act 2, the same;
Act 3, the same; Act 4, Mrs. Jones's
garden" is common formula. Thus
extremes meet, and the Greek unity of
place is avenged of all it's time-hon-
ored outrages. No wonder the drama is
getting a little tired, after lodging
about all over the gazetteer, up in bal
looms and down in coal mines and div
ing bells. OF course, the robust"
drama still likes exercise, but it is dis
tinctly low class. In the higher walks,
place grows of less and less conse-
quence, and may ultimately disap-
pear altogether, till we come to the pure
unconditional drama of the future,

sion and teaching his grandmother how

EXTRAORDINARY TUNNELLING
BY THIEVES

SINE sensational developments are re-
ported concerning the remarkable case
of Bruta Allesandro, described as a
Genoese sailor, who was alleged to have
in possession of a quantity of stolen
jeWelry. Yesterday the Brazilian min
lister waited upon Mr.. Henderson, chief
of the Metropolitan police, and intro
duced to him Mr.. Charles Spritz da-
mond merchant of Paris and Brazil.
Mr.. Spritz came to Liverpool with an
introduction from Mr.. Henderson to
Capt. Mott Bower, chief constable Of
Liverpool, requesting that assistance
should be given to Mr.. Spritz with the
view of tracing Bruta Allesandro, and
also to see the jewels in possession of
Mr.. Phillips, who bought them from AL
lesandro. Mr.. Spritz went to Mr.. Phil
lips's establishment, where the jewels
were produced, and he at once identi-
fled them as part of the proceeds of a
ROBBERY in the Brazils. He paid Mr..
Phillips the full amount given for the
jewels, and also handsomely rewarded
him and the two police officers con-
cerned in the case

TO REVISE STATUTES.
Important Commission to be Named by
Governor Lounsbury.

| Important Commission to be Named by
Governor Lounsbury
Lawyers throughout the state are
awaiting with interest the announce
ment, by Gov. Lounsbury, of the appoint
ment Of the commission to revise the
general statutes of the state. This COM
mission will be composed of five men,
| bers, and their appointment, with an
outline of the work required of them,
was authorized by a resolution of the
| general assembly which recently adj
journed.
| 1t is expected, as a matter of course,
| that Governor Lounsbury will appoint
on the commission three republicans and
two democrats but SO far as can be as
certained at this time there is not the
slightest intimatiOn as to who the APP
pointees will be, though the governor Is
said to have plenty of acceptable men
under considerations OF the last COM
mission on revision, two are dead, ex-
Judges Hovey and Fem. The other two
members, Judge r. Jay Walsh, of
Greenwich, and ex-United States Dis
trct Attorney George 2. Mclean, are
credited with having importuned the
SUNciliOI lDI dppUlH lIlleHl uHueI lile res
olution recently passed by the general
assembly, and it is not at all unlikely
that, If that report is true, their appoint
ment is within the realm of strong prob
ability. The fact that these gentlemen
served on the commission twelve years
ago gives them in itself, strong claim
for preference at this time. They are
familiar with the plan of the work,
which Is of a most laborious character,
and that service furnishes a strong
claim for recognition under the present
conditions An appointment on the
commission is as much for honor in it
felt, and standard OF compensation es-
tablished by the state for work of the
kind makes appointment exceptionally
desirable. The members of the last
commission received forty-fve hundred
dollars each with an extra allowance to
Judge Hovey it's chairman, who had SUI
pervising charge of the work, and who
read most of the proof sheets and pre-
pared the work for the press.
If, as reported, it is the intention of
the governor to appoint two democratic
lawyers on the commission, he will in
all probability take one of the appoint
ees from New Haven. So far as is
known among the lawyers themselves,
only very few practitioners in this
city have made a formal Applicant for
the appointment, though such a condi-
ton of affairs is not likely to continue
long. The announcement of the ap-
pointments will probably be made soon,
as there is none too much time in which
to do the work authorized so that re-
port may be made to the general as
sembly of 1901.

HOME FROM TEXAS.
Visiting With Old Friends After Years
of Absence.

Amos Burt fuller of Galveston, Tex,
brother of George w. futile of this
city, is here visiting old friends and
scenes, and will remain north ten days
longer. He has resided in Galveston
since 1865, and his present trip north
is the first one that he has made dur
ing the past twelve years. Mr.. fuller
went to Texas in 1853 and has lived in
that state since that time He is a
member of the firm of fuller & Foth,
custom brokers in Galveston. In 1867
he was through the yellow fever scourge
in Galveston and was Frustrated with
the members of his family. They all
recovered from the fever. But at the
present time Mr.. fuller Is the only one
of the number surviving.
Mr.. fuller is a native of Simsbury,
and will be sixty-eight years old Au-
gust s. He could easily pass for man
ten years younger than that. His
brother, George w. Tuller, the Hartford
real estate manager, was also born in
Simsbury and will be seventy-six years
old August II. There is sister living
in Simsbury, Mrs Sarah e. Emo, widow
of Z. Fl. Emo, who was a well known
business man in his day.
The visit of Mr. Emo is one of the
pleasantest that he has had, and he is
enjoying every hour of the time. He
in enthusiastic over the great Texan
monument that is to be erected in
Galveston in honor of the Texan vet
Grams who settled in the state. The
monument is the gift of noted Calves
ton philanthropist, Mr.. Rosenberg, and
will be dedicated this fall. The granite
work was done by the Hon. James G..
Patterson of this city, who is remem-
bered in the old days of the city by Mr..
fuller. The Connecticut interest in the
monument is of a genuine character, as
this state furnished some of the most
noted of the Texan patriots. H. w. st.

a nephew of Samuel May Williams, who
was with Samuel Houston, the president
of the Texan republic, and knew the Sc

CHERRIES A PREVENTIVE AND
CURE OF RHEUMATISM.

L nave never known a person to suf-
fer from rheumatism who ate freely Of
cherries, and I know of hundreds who
have been relieved Of attacks by eating
them. l have often had cherries or
dered two and three months before the
season for them opened hereabouts, and
to supply the orders have had to send
to Cuba and to California for them
The ordinary cherry contains an acid
which relieves if it does not effectually
cure. Of course, it may all be in the
season, and that rheumatism would dis
appear anyhow, but 1t Is safe to say
that there is no rheumatism during the
cherry season. / don't know of any
thing healthier, though even the best
tasting, thoroughly ripe and perfect
cherries start up very fine cases of
collie and cholera morbus, which are
very annoying. The colored people of
the South think, and it may be that the
same belief exists elsewhere among
others as well, that all the cramp or
collie Is taken out Of the cherry by eat
ing it, swallowing stone and ALL That
unquestionably was the practice once,
but in recent years fears of appendi-
citis may have changed it somewhat,
though, for the life of me, cannot I'M
derstand why it is so dangerous now to
swallow apple seed, grape seed or cherry
stones, when, in oldfashioned times, it
was the rule to do so rather than the
exception. In Florida the orange seed
is very frequently swallowed, and APP
pendicitis is unheard of there. AS
spring medicine generally cherries are
without doubt the most valuable of the
small fruit crop, even il they do not eff
fectually cure rheumatism. They free
the blood of the uric acid which pro-
duces the condition known as rheuma-
tism, and If they do no more than that
We should be, and I think are, grateful.

pose" IN FRANCE AND ENG
LAND.

What an Englishman says about It.
plete pose is but the fancy of few In
other words we must all dress; we need
not all dress up. And the first cause of
pose is neither deceit nor candor; it is
expression of temperament, the spor
| tive exercise of a talent. Thus 1T is less
revelation Of self than a frank confess
sion of what the artist desires the world
to think of him. In England one notion
of pose is limited and severe; in France
to live is to pose; and the distinction
helps to explain the existing contrast
between the Latin and the Anglo-Saxon
races. At the outset we would disclaim
any desire to draw hard, antipathetic
line between France and England. We
remember the bitter reflection Of Lord
Chesterfield that 'all general reflections
upon nations and societies are the trite
threadbare jokes of those who set up
for wit without having any, and so
have recourse to commonplace" But
we remember also, that in attempting
to understand the character of our own;
and 1t may be said without prejudice
or reproach that the French have the
perfect genius Of pose. Walk along the
streets of Paris, and you will see a hum
dred simple citizens tricked out in such
a guise as in sober Londn would make
them ridiculous. Is man a poet?
Then his hair is instantly long; his
clothes are shabby and fantastic his
hat, with its fiat brim, recalls the fash
ion of 1880. Is he a painter? Then his
clothes proclaim that he inhabits Mont
martre, and that he wanders up and
down under the skinny trees of the
boulevard Rochechouart. Is a man
journalist? Then he is what Is called
the epatant, and dimes, for a reduced
price at the Cafe Anglais Is the man
Deputy? Then the Imagination re-
trains from formula; he has a
brougham and he is decorated; but be-
yond this the eye of dogmatism cannot
penetrate. Yet, whoever he be. he
dresses the part; he separates himself
from the bourgeoisie by trick of cos
tune and GESTURE; and though no man
ever possessed so brilliant genius as
the young Frenchman assumes. his love
or acting instantly mark him out and the |
world is so wisely accustomed to his an |
tics that a man who would be mobbed |
in London marches up and down Paris |
unobserved. It is an astonishing dis |
which helps to explain our
perpetual differences with France, 1t |
explains also why the Partisan stage is
always crowded with capable actors.
England, now and again, throws I'D a
man of genius such as Edmund Kean. |
But in London the stage Is peopled with |
who half understand the art
which Is Frenchman's nature
But the Englishman also has his pose
the pose of uniformity. While the
frenchman trembles lest he should not
make his ambition evident the English
man Is commonly afraid that that the
world may find out what he is. So.

words, we underdress our parts; the

THE HARE IN FOLK MEDICINE.

THE HARE IN FOLK MEDICINE.
The British Medical Journal gives the
following curious information in reply
to correspondent who desired to learn
when "hare's blood" was last used as a
therapeutic agent, for what purpose
and in what manner The hare has
been employed in folk medicine at least
from the time of Pliny. The use of the
blood was continued in England until
the end Of the seventeenth century. but
it is Of course impossible to say when
the practice ceased, even if it has done
so at the present time. 1t was believed
that the blood anointed cured freckles,
and that the ashes Of the blood cured
