cry man in his vicinity can tell
him why he has failed ana could
have told him long before that he
was boundt to fail. There ought
not to be any room for hesitation
on the part Of young manhood as
to the direction in which their
success, safety and happiness lie.
They may conceive they see
short cuts along fiowery paths,
but the experiences Of daily life
show that such paths are usually
either blind trails that must be re-
traced Or dismal labyrinths from
which very few escape. No per-
son Of sane mind will voluntarily
put his hand in the fire; not be
cause he put it there once before
and got it burned, but because he
knows without putting it there i
will burn if he does. Il is just as
true that physical excess and de-
bilitated character will fconsum,
the opportunity and ability t.
succeed as that fire will burn anc
injure the hand that handles it
Both will destroy because they
always have destroyed and who,
ever thinks he is exempt from
the consequence is SO foolish ant
weak that the world has littl,

TO say, as Admiral Dewey init
mates, Of a syndicate of crafty
Oriental lawyers. The Filipinos
in general, Instead Of being emf
nently qualified for independence
Of American protection, are mot
yet capabable Of self-govern-
ment." In time they will be,
but they are not now, "The

Dewey, "have the crudest ideas

General Otis, instead Of being
a foolish and headstrong incom-
petent, a person deserving Of ex-
posure and denunciatiop by the

rival, turns out to be in Dewey's
estimation pretty fine sort of
4 commander. He is working, ac-
cording to Dewey, "with might
and soul at everything that comes
under his notice in the way of
putting down the rebellion and
bringing order out Of chaos in the

ey has to-. find with. Otis, it APP
pears, is for working too hard
and continuously for the govern
: 5ment and the flag, and thus en-
dangering his own health and
even his life. It will be observed
that Admiral Dewey, contrary to
Copperhead expectations, speaks
of Aguinaldo's enterprise as a
"rebelIion, and not as San heroic
resistance of foreign oppression"
He speaks of Aguinaldo's follow
ers as "insurgents," and not as
patriots struggling for freedom"
And finally, instead Of predicting
a glorious triumph for Aguinaldo
and his band, illuminating the
pages Of history with another ex-
ample OF, successful resistance tc
tyrrany, the admiral simply re-
marks: "They can't hold out
against the army and navy. Al

gents were on their last legs,

kind of briny tears in a Bonner's

WINCHESTER AVENUE ROAD.


The directors Of the Winchester ave-
nue. railroad held a meeting in the Of
fees of the company in West Haven
yesterday afternoon. Six of the nine di-
rectors> of the road were present and
plans for improving the system were
suggested land discussed. 1t was decid-
ed to lay new rails on the Sylvan ave-
nue. line as soon as possible. The rails
to be laid there will be of the heavy
kind such as are on the main line. 1t
is probable that the new rails will not
be laid for some time yet although it is
desired to lay them at once. The cause
Of the delay is the inability to secure
new rails owing to the scarcity of steel
rails in the market just now
Treasurer Pond said last night that
the report that the Winchester avenue
road was to be sold was discussed at
the directors meeting and pronounced
a fake pure and simple. Mr.. Pond said
that there was no intention of selling
the road, but that the road would be
considerably improved in the near fu-
ture and that the nature of these i'm
provements was the chief subject of
consideration at yesterdays meeting.
He said that the line would not be ex-
tended but that the improvements
would be upon the tracks already laid.

Jealous italian Shot at His Wife and
Thought He Had Killed Her.

Another murder came near being add
ed to the annals of the Grand avenue
police station last evening and bad
aim is probably all that averted it..
Peter Armeda, an Italian who lives at
No 203 Wallace street, has been very
jealous of his wife for some time and
last night his jealousy seemed to have
reached the highest pitch. Mrs. Ar
media and a French woman named Liz
zie Hood were sitting under an arbor
at the rear of the house when Armedia
appeared at a rear second story window
and fired a revolver at his wife. He
evidently thought that the bullet struck
her, as he left the house on run and
started down the street. Captain Trip
and Sergeant Hayes of the Grand ave-
nue. precinct happened to be in the
vicinity at the time and heard the shot.
Seeing Armedia running down the
street they suspected that he had been
up to mischief and gave chase. Ar
media ran towards Mill river and Ser
geant Hayes overlook him just as he
reached the banks of the river and was

with breach Of the peace and firing a
pistol within the city limits.

SHAMROCK ON A TRIAL SPIN
TR4 YELS VERY FAST IN Il TWELVE
KNOT BREEZE.
Points Up to Within Three and One
Half Points of the Wind-A Remark
able Performance - No Big Wave
Under Her Quarter when Sailing at
Extreme Speed.

Extreme Speed.
New York, Sept 4.-The Shamrock
had her initial trial spin in racing trim
in American waters to-day. The spin
occupied about three hours and the
yacht covered about thirty miles. AT
times she Travelled at a rate of about
twelve knots an hour. The breeze was
strong and at times attained velocity
of fifteen knots The Shamrock was
towed out to the Scotland lightship
early this morning, where sail was
made. The wind was north-northeast
and blowing twelve knots an hour Af-
ter crossing the bar, the Shamrocks
head was brought to the wind; the
mainsail was hoisted, jib and stayeail
broken out and going on the port tack
the Shamrock headed eastward towards
the Sandy Hook lightship An old mar
liner who looked through the large tele-
scop from the Highlands said the
Shamrock pointed well, her sails set as
flat as boards and she appeared to
stand up in good shape The Sham
rock coasting to starboard headed due
east toward the Sandy Hook lightship.
She travelled very fast and pointed up
within three and one-half points of the
wind, a remarkable performance for a
yacht of her type. Another noticeable
feature was the absence of a big wave
under her quarter when sailing at ex-
treme speed. The yacht tried several
working sails during the afternoon.
First she sent up a gaff topsail, then
a No l jib topsail and afterwards
baby-jib topsail She was tried on ev-
cry point of sailing and afterwards was
toWed into the Horseshoe. Just when
her new spars will be placed in position
is not known.
