Fires break Out.

Two small fires within the exhibition
grounds have caused an Outcry from
the French and have Brought home TO
the administration the danger of a.
conflagratiOn. In view Of the meager
facilities for fighting fire. measures are
now being taken to meet this situation.
One outcome of this agitation has been
the enforcement this week of the hv
laws of the exhibition prohibiting s1nok-
ing inside. Several men have been ar
rested and prosecuted for this offense.
One case came before the courts, which
decided against the exhibition authori-
ties, on the ground that the project of
police is alone empowered to regulate
this matter.
According to some authorities Com
missioner General Ricard, by the illegal
arrest, has rendered himself liable to
penal servitude. This eventuality how
ever, is not likely to fall TO the lot Of
the controlling mind of the great
worlds fair.
A fresh conflict has arisen between
the cabinet and Cardinal Richard,
whose action at the time of the As
sumption Fathers trial brought him
Into serious trouble with the govern
ment He was a notable absentee from
the inaugural ceremonies Of the exhi-
bition, no invitation having been sent
neglect, and referred the matter to the
papal nuncio here, Mgr. Arinaldini, who
declined TO intervene.
Bless the Pavillions.
This week Cardinal Richard an
nounced his intention to visit the exhi-
bition in order to bless the Dagilions
Of the Catholic missions. The govern
ment refused him permission TO do so,
according to the clericals, at the insti-
cation of the socialist minister of COM
merce, NJ Minerand. who is said to
have characterized the cardinals in
tention as ID manifest attack upon the
government and d clerical protest
against the democratic spirit OF the
governments labor policy" Cardinal
Richard will now appeal TO the vatican,
whose action is awaited with interest.
The oldest cafe in Paris, the Cafe
ProcOpe, which was founded in 1853 by
a Sicilian. closed its doors this week.
The cafe was situated in the Latin
quarter and at one time was a great
political center and later an artistic
rendezvous. Napoleon was a frequent
client, and there Gambetti, FlOquet and
Ferry often spoke against the regime.

For the Good of the Trade it Should be

 For the Good of the Trade it Should be
 Revived.
 There is not enough talk, not enough argument, about the different points of construction in wheels nowadays, and the dealers are to blame for it, This was said by man of many years eX- perience as a rider who is himself in the trade now. He continued: You do not hear riders arguing over the differ ent parts of their wheels and contend- ing for this or that feature the way they formerly did. They are just as much interested in the machenical ar guments as ever, but they are not fur- nised the material by the tradesmen who sell them wheels The salesmen do not go into details and explain every part, and give the reasons why, as they formerly did. It was the points they obtained from dealers that kept the rid CTS arguing. It may sound strange to say that statesmen do not talk enough, but, in my estimation, such is the fact. "The salesmen have wearied of dilat- ing upon the relative merits of forgings and stampings of different styles of joints and binders, of the chains line of pull, of sprockets large and small, their shape and wearing qualities, of two and three point and journal bearings, of long and short wheel bases. They seem to think that all riders understand these matters or do not care about hearing the pro or con of them, but this is

The large audience thoroughly enjoyed the fine work of the cast, which is aided by M. A.

Galloway, as the real Indian, also did very excellent work while George s. Probert, as the nephew was quick and always ready with an explanation to fill any contingency. Miss Eva Westcott and Miss Mae Will Hams. who played respectively the American girl and Jacks cousin, were well gowned and attractive and are de- serving of much praise for their work, as do the other members of the cast, who played their parts in an acceptable manner There will be matinee to- day and the performance will be re- peated in the evening.

ANY WEAK
 PERSON can gain
 strength on Grape-Nuts.

A member of the Chicago Press Club, Mrs F. M Black, 76 18th street, Chica- go, says she has obtained so much ben eft from Grape Nuts food that she wishes to offer voluntary testimoni- al: '"Three months ago l had an illness which reduced me greatly; when conva- lescent I wanted a great deal to eat but nothing seemed to satisfy me
 "Very soon after meal l felt that sense of emptiness, an aching void at it were, though really not hungry. The fact is, the food I was then taking was not properly assimilated and I was inn properly nourished, which accounted for my lack of vitality and weak condition, constant exhaustion, and inability to gain flesh.
 T started in on GrapeNuts food, husband laughing good humoredly at the time I ate it with cream, and the result was most surprising. After the first dish of it I felt a great sense of satisfaction I have now been using Grape-Nuts but a week; have gained several pounds; the old gnawing has gone entirely I retire and sleep well at night, whereas I used to awake in the night and was unable to sleeep again until I had taken some sort of food.
 Husband is much surprised at the result and tried Grape Nuts himself He is delighted with the food. With best wishes for the great food and it's mak CTS, l am, respectfully yours"

mistake The desire to know the reason why and to argue is an innate human propensity. There are a lot of new rid CTS of last year and this who do not un- derstand anything about wheel. They
 would be glad to do so, but the sales-
 men do not volunteer to fill them up, and newcomers in cycling now feel bit ashamed to confess ignorance. Now, the point I want to make is that the discussion of such things in the house and on the road is what held the inter- est and made enthusiasm. When folks talked wheels they rode more The dealers feel glad that the day of talk ing points has passed. They should feel sorry There are as many talking points on the wheels of 1900 as ever, and they should be talked. It has not been settled yet just what is best in bearings or what is the perfect medium in a wheel base length.
 eff all such matters were agreed upon every maker would build alike. There have been tremendous improvements in factory methods and processes, and rid CTS have not kept pace with them. A man who loves a wheel, like one who loves a horse, wants to know it's anato- my, or enough of it to understand and appreciate it's fine points. If riders were kept better posted by the Salesmen they would be more interested in their mounts, and there would be more en- thusiasm The advancing popularity of the chainess has of course dampened the discussion of chains and sprockets, but the chainless introduces many nice questions on the relative merits of con- struction, while the coaster brake has

CAPTAIN HARRIS DEAD.
Popular Commander of Anchor Line

Popular Commander of Anchor Line
 Steamship "Furnesia"
 Word has just been received at the Anchor line headquarters in New York of the death in Glasgow of Captain Harris commander of the "Furnessia. Captain Harris was well known in New Haven by many Atlantic travellers, who had occasion to cross the ocean, and his death will be deeply regretted by all those who had the good fortune to make his acquaintance on board the steamer. He was a typical Scotch mar iner of the old school, and was con sidered one of the ablest and one of the most experienced steamship com manders on the Atlantic service. He was held in the highest esteem by the owners of the Anchor line, and although q strict disciplinarian was greatly low ed and respected by every man of the Furnessia's crew The Furnessia has been off the route all winter, having been laid up in Glasgow, where she has been undergoing extensive alterations and improvements, among which are a new set of triple expansion engines by the introduction of which she is eX- pected to make the trip from New York to Glasgow in eight days Her first trip will be made from New York May 19, and it is generally thought that Captain $. Wilson, R. N. R., of the Anchoria, will succeed Captain Harris as commander of the Furnessia'

For the sake of the riders themselves want to see the discussion of mechani- cal points kept going, and for the sake of the trade, it should be.

NO QUORUM PRESENT
For Meeting of the Councilmen Last
 Night

For Meeting of the Councilmen Last
 Night.
 The common council was to have held special meeting last night to have another confab over the resolutions for street paving, which are now before the common council on which there has been some non-concurrent action. Only thirteen members were present, how ever, and so President Miller decided that the meeting should adjourn The principal matter to have been consider ed was that in regard to the paving of several streets, including Chapel street, Church street and Whitney avenue The Fair Haven and Westville Rail- road company has already placed the brick on the street, and is was desired that the city arrange to pave the re- mainder of the street outside of the car tracks. This, however, was held up, and the failure of the councilmen to show up for quorum last night fur ther delays the city paving.
