"Redlight'' Districts Closed-Dive
Keepers Piayinga Waiting Game.

New York, Dec. Mot in the recol-
lection Of the oldest resident of Red
light" districts has that section OF the
city been so cleared Of it's dens of vic
ious characters as 1t was tonight
When the Tammany vice committee
made it's report on Friday that there
was no vice in the district the members
labored upon a misapprehension. The
houses had shutters closed, but the
basement entrances were still open. The
owners took fright, however, on Satur-
day night and fled. They had read
that Captain Titus was coming.
The fight between Captain Titus and
the dive keeping element has not be-
come a waiting game. The dive keep
ers believe that the reform wave will
soon be over, and therefore intend to
keep their shutters closed till they get
the tip to resume business, Commit
tees of citizens in the districts will be
appointed to keep sharp watch for
the return of the dive keepers. The
women in the district will also organize
to that end.
Tomorrow cAptain Titus will appear
in the Fourth district court as witness
for landlords who claim they have been
unable to drive Objectionable tenants
from their premises. Titus and his po-
licemen will give the necessary evil
dence SO that the landlords can have no
excuse.
The Rev. Mr.. Paddock who is a men,
Der of the committee of fifteen, made
arrangements to-day for the meeting to
be held at the pro-Cathedral on We'd
nesday, when Bishop Potter, the Rev,
DR.. Huntington of Grace church, and
r. Fulton Cutting will deliver addresses
on civil Righteousness"
The Central Labor union took UP the
vice matter to-day and adopted the fol-
lowing resolution: Resolved, that the
Central Labor union Is fully in sympa-
thy with the movement being carried
on in the present vice crusade and hope
that it will succeed in driving the glar-
ing vice out of the city"

EXPEDITIONS AGAINST CHINESE.
Count Won Waldersee Believes Them
Necessary and Snlutary.

London, Dec 3.-"Count Won Walder-
see expresses some solicitude," aays the
Pekin correspondent of the Morning
Post, Concerning expeditions into the
surrounding country, but he believes
that they are necessary and salutary.
Most of the British officers approve
them.
''Sir Robert Hart in the course of con-
versation said he considered the resent
ment against foreigners to be partly
lust and the outgrowth Of the last sixty
years of treaty relations He seemed to
think the settlement would be difficult
problem.
"Chinese militia forces are being
formed everywhere and even If the i'm
portation of foreign arms is prohibited
q sunnlv will be easily obtainable from
Chinese arsenals. A body of one hun
dred American cavalrymen is escort
ing some Chinese officials to Tien Tsin."

MISS CAT4N SERIOUSLY I'LL.
A Mental and Physical Wreck-Almost
Totally Blind.

New York, Dec, miss Georgia
Cayvan, the actress, has been i'll for
several weeks in the Sanford Hall San
itarium of Flushing, L. 1. She is suf-
fering from nervous prostration. 1t is
said she is on the verge of mental and
physical wreck, having become almost
totally blind. Last October after her
health had been declining since an op-
GRAFTON undergone in 1895, she became
too i'll for successful treatment at
home and it was necessary to send her
to a hospital. Since then she has not
rallied either in mind or body, except
for brief interval when her sister
came from Massa chusetts to visit her
the other day. Little hope for her re-
covery is now entertained. Miss Cay
van is a native of Bath, Me.

der Commandments Viljoen and Eras-
mus November rs and 20,
General Paget toward evening on the

POLO LEAGUE MEETING
Held Here Yesterday Change
in Schedule Voted Down.

A meeting of the Polo league was held
yesterday afternoon at the Hotel Garde.
The teams of the ague were represent
ed as follows: New Haven by Messrs
Messrs Miller and Murphy, Waterbury
by Mr.. Guest, Hartford by Mr.. Cotter
aid Springfield by Mr., Aufort. The
purpose of the meeting was to discuss
CERTAIN changes in the schedule which
have been proposed for the holiday sea-
son.
The Meriden management had re-
quested that a change be made In the
sahaduie so that the Meriden team
could play at home Tuesday and Thurs
day nights instead of Wednesday and
Saturday nights, as under the original
schedule. -he proposed change would
arrange the schedule SO that Meriden
would have home games on Christmas
night and New Years night. The pro-
posed change would also take the Mcr-
iden team to Hartford every other Sat-
urday night instead of New Haven. The
New Haven management would not
agree to the proposed change and it was
decided not to make the change. 1t is
probable, however, that the schedule Of
games for the holidays will be some
what altered, but what the change will
be has not yet been definitely decided
upon.
There have been many runlors oG late
concerning the Meriden team and 1t was
reported that the team would drop out
of the league and that New Britain
would be given the franchise The Mer-
iden management announced, however,
that a strong effort would be made to
strengthen their team. They will en-
deavor to secure a strong center and
hope to be able to continue in the
league.

chester, the Duchess of Manchester
and Eugene Zimmerman, her father,
passed to-day quietly at the Holland
house The two detectives who met
them at the pier have been withdrawn

presence by saying:

longer exists and they were withdrawn
from their attendance on the duke and
his bride. Beyond this there is moth
ing to say. I refuse most decidedly to
make public the wording of the letters"

Previous Arrangements He, There
fore Proceeds to Cologne -BOer states-
mans Proposed visit to Berlin Was
Not Agreeable to Germany.

Berlin, Dec. 2.-Mr. Kruger has aban'
doned his proposed visit to Berlin oW-
ing to the receipt Of an official intima'
ton that Emperor william regrets that,
in consequence of previous arrange
ments, he will be unable to receive him.
The Boer statesman will therefore pro-
ceed direct from Cologne for Holland.
He telegraphed to this effect this morn
ing. The emperor's intimation was
conveyed to Mr.. Kruger by the German
envoy at Luxembourg who arrived at
Cologne to-day.
The Cologne Gazette, in an inspired
communication, says: "Mr. Kruger's
visit is not agreeable to Germany his
aim being to obtain intervention IN
South Africa. 1t would be a grave po-
litical mistake; it would be even great
crime to allow him to entertain even
spark of hope that Germany will rem
der him any practical support"
This declaration is accompanied with
reproaches Mr.. Kruger being charged
with having encouraged a useless
guerilla warfare and having disregard
ed Germanys advice when he might
still have followed it, The press gen
orally strikes the same note.
Cologne, Dec. 2.-Thousands of people
waited to-day in the vicinity of the
Cathedral hotel to catch glimpse of
Mr.. Kruger, who, when replying to the
deputation of Bonn students in the af-
ternoon, described the educational pro-
eress Of the Transvaal, thanked the
students for their kind welcome and
shook hands with EACH
Afterwards he appeared upon the
balcony, where he was loudly cheered
from below. Having rested for half
an hour he went into the vestibule of
the hotel, which was crowded with Wis
itors. Here replying to a deputation
from the Pan-German league, wishing
him success, he referred to the close re-
lationship between the Beers and the
Germans. 1t is expected that Mr.. Kru-
ger will remain here until Wednesday.

EiastlcitY OF Marble.

The Nuova Cimento contains an in.
teresting. article by P. Gambia, giving
the result of his experiments upon the
elasticity of marble. Plates of marble
were impregnated with different
liquids and the effect measured. The
experiments are best carried out with
water, as by drying the marble may
be slowly brought back to it's original
condition. the curves of reformation
being the same before and after the
action. The reformation is greater for
the wet plate and the residual effec. is
also greater; there is thus consider
able increase in the aexibility of the
wet marble. Oil, glycerin and solu-
lions of paraffin give similar results,
although the marble cannot be forced
from the liquid and brought back to
it's original state as with water. Pc
troleum, however, causes no difference
in the fexibility. Glycerin gives the
greatest effect.

idea in petticoats and grasped it
thankfully, says writer in the Kan
sas City Journal. She had on silk
skirt, of course, and it was one she
had made herself. which is not SO
much matter of course. There was
nothing unusual about it from the out
side. 1t was an ordinary taffeta skirt,
made with ruffles and yoke. But
when she took it off saw that it had
a deep facing of some sort of thin
stuff around the hem and that the
front breadth was likewise lined.
