The Queen Regent of Spain having
signed the treaty of peace, the Yanko-
Spanko war may be considered definite
ly at an end, except so far as certain
formalities are concerned. Hostilities
ceased with the negotiation of the pro-
tocol. The treaty fixing the exact terms
of peace was signed December 10, 1898,
and approved by the senate February 6,
1899. 1t remains for the two parties to
exchange copies of the ratified treaty,
which may consume some weeks The
date upon which the war is held to have
ended is of importance, since our volun-
teers will then be entitled to their dis
charge. At Washington it seems to be
held that legally the treaty does not
take effect, so far as the volunteers
are concerned, till the notifications have
been exchanged and the Presidents
proclamation has gone forth.
1t is interesting to note that coinci-
dent with the signing Of the peace
treaty the last defences of New Haven
are being removed. When that noble
and efficient war-boat the Wyandotte
went away, Of course New Havens
chief defence went. But some fine old
cannon were left for our protection,
and right we'll have they done the work
they were so CALAMITY brought here to
do. Now they are going and New Ha-
ven will have to take her chances. But
she is not nervous now for she realizes
that if she should again need defending
she could have another war-boat and
more fine old cannon.

PRoFEssoR MARsH.

The unexpected news of the death of
Professor Marsh will carry shock
wherever his deep learning and his great
| achievements are known, and that is all
over the civilized world. Especially will
it shock all who have a personal in
| terest in the university for which he has
so long, SO unselfishly, so brilliantly and
so successfully labored. We say, even
| when a great man dies, that his place
| will soon be filled and the world go on
as before. Professor Marsh's place will
not soon be filled, and the original work
he has done will not soon, If ever, be
obscured by any worker in the field of
his toll And not soon, if ever. will Yale
have another such discoverer, teacher
and benefactor. For over thirty years
he has been adding largely to the
worlds stock of knowledge and to the
equipment and the glory of Yale. He
leaves an enduring memorial in his
many and uniquely important contrbu-
tons to the lore of science and in the
magnificent collections of which he
said: "It has always been part of my
plan that the scientific collections
which / have made should become the
property Of Yale, and from the first
provided in my will for such DISPOSE
ton of them" He will also have an en-
during memorial In the hearts Of all
who love the university he loved and
toiled for. He rests from his labors, but
his works do follow him, and through
them he will teach a long succession
of learners who, as they profit by the
fruits of his genius and his zeal, will
also be impressed by his noble gener-
osity to their nourishing mother and to
them.

One of the best Of these Is the span

that they are no longer an exclusive

Tn shipbuilding an extensive use Is
now made Of pneumatic tools for drill
ing, riveting, and similar operations,
and to obviate the necessity Of more
or less complex system of piping porta-
BILE air-compressors have recently been
introduced, which can be set up in the
Immediate vicinity of the pneumatic
tools. These air-compressors are driven
by gasoline engines of the same pattern
as those used in stationary plants, and
the gasoline and the water for cooling
the cylinders are carried in tanks con-
nected with the apparatus. There are
two heavy f1y-wheels to control the
speed and length of stroke, and the en-
CINE Is directly connected to the COM
pressor. The whole apparatus can be
moved readily from place to place. and,
should 1t be desired to go considerable
distance, horses may be attached. In
addition to its application in ship-buiId-
ing, compressed air is being used for
riveting in bridge-building and other
structural work, and it is believed
that the portable compressor will prove
quite useful in such instances.

Our new treaty with Japan will take
effect on the 18th Of July. This treaty
was the first to give full recognition Of
Japan as modern nation. Our extra
territorial jurisdiction for the trial Of
american citizens charged with crime
on Japanese territory, has been aband-
oned in favor of the Japanese courts of
law. Our commercial relations have
also been changed to a considerable eX-
tent. Soon after our treaty was nego-
tiated, Great Britain made treaty on
similar lines. So the two great COM
1nercial nations of the world unite in
giving Japan nearly all of he oppor-
stunities and privileges that belong to the

FASHION NOTES.
Tricks worth watching.

The small devices of dress adorn-
ment that are current should be watch
ed closely, because a great deal can be
accomplished by them at very small
outlay. This is more or less true at
all times, but has more force at pres
ent than Is usual. The explanation is
that the prevalence Of cloth gowns has
resulted in many suits that depend
largely for their character on original
ity of cut; this cut is preferably so I'M
usual that much trimming would dis
guise rather than adorn, SO small feat
ures of trimming that go a great way
are many and very effective mediums

that the pupils in the elementary

This opinion was expressed in resolu-

and 1900 100000 eggs, valued together
at 290,0OO,0OO, were produced in the

aster. To see that accomplished We would
be willing to sink all preiudices against
men or means in the face of any PROPOSE
ton promising success. 1t is to be feared
that the President may be unwilling to go
as far.
He is well advised that, if Mr. Alger
were out OF the Cabinet and no longer in
q position to control or meddle with the
affairs Of the Army. there would be no
question as to the enthusiastic response
the youth of the country would give to
Il call for volunteers. He is equally aware
that the number and character OF the men
who are likely to enlist. with Alger in
practical command of the United States
Army, will be q very different matter.
He knows that there IL a universal and in
dignant demand fer the retirement Of his
Spanish war Minister, and that to ignore
or defy that demand is to further depre-
ciate his personal popularity with the
masses and to further forfeit the conf
dence Of the people. much Of which he ha;
already lost through his protection o.

One of the oldest developments OF recent
years Is a proposed union of the pulpit
and the stage It is said that an Actors
Church Alliance IS to be formed. for the
purpose OF affording assistance to actors
in distress. Bishop Potter. who is one of
the advocates of the plan. thinks that the
time has come for the Churches and the
actors TO look toward each other for help
and that one of the objects OF the alliance
would be TO do away with Sunday per-
formances and concerts.
Twenty-Five years ago such plan as this
would have been regarded with wild-eyed
horror even in that cosmopolitan town.
New York. Today. its very boldness will
set people thinking, and when the idea has
once been entertained. the result is likely
TO be larger liberality on the part of the
Churches and less cynicism on the part Of
the actors. The latter have, all things
considered. considerable reason for their
cynical attitude toward the Church. When
1t is remembered that not so very long
ago there was in New York only one
Protestant church. the Little Church
Around the Corner" from which an actors
funeral could take place, it is not so very
strange that some OF the members OF the
profession had n curious idea of religion.

A Boston paper sententiously remarl

u pOsAOu papG4 SGIAtANioHol- Itl4ltilhS.
The woman who goes away for her summer
vacation and leaves the family cat al home to
starve deserves to get smashed up in railroad
wreck.
Boston always was considerate and care
full of the feelings of all animated nature.
But there is another sufferer who is some
times left at home, not to starve pre-
cisely, but to do other things hardly more
pleasant. What about the woman who
goes away for the summer and leaves the
head OF the family alone to get dyspepsia?
Ought not something TO be done to her?
The men who really suffer from the
summer vacations of their wives are not
the clubmen. They sometimes have a bet
ter time than their wives would like them
to have. II is the fond, contented, self
sacrificing husband who looks forward to
the annual exodus with unconfessed dread.
There are some women who have a nice
little way of having all the carpets taken
up to be cleaned, and the furniture sent
away to be renovated, and the curtains
taken down and packed in moth paper, just
before they leave home for the mountains
or the seashore. Sometimes they dismiss
the servants and leave the man of the
house TO take his meals at a restaurant,
and sometimes they do not. They cover
all OF the furniture which is left in ghost
ly. faded cotton stuff. so that the sun may
not get at ii. and they wrap the pictures
up in cloth so that the gilt frames shall
not be fly-specked. They send the rugs
to the cleaners and pack the brie-a- hrac
away TO keep it out of the dust. Then
they take their departure. having incl
