Too Warm For Him.

Opposite to him at the boarding
house sits a maiden lady OF certain age

plays but small part. She has a
younger sister who is pretty and handi-
capped as yet by the pleasing convlc-
tlon that life is romance. He is large,
dresses several times n day. is thor

idea that he is Irresistible when he sets
out to please a member of the opposite

the state has fallen BY reason Of vast
expenditures OF money in connection
with It's election, manifested such a
public sentiment that the legislature Of
1895 passed a statute which. II obsyed

NEW York, April 25.-Miss Adelina
Sterling yesterday was elected presl-
dant-general of the Daughters of the
Revolution. Her success was after one
OF the hardest struggles which the
Daughters have had. II was so exhaust
ing that adjournment was called for by
common consent and the remaining Of
hcers left for decision Of this morning s
ballot.
The convention met in the assembly
hall OF the Presbyterian Building,
Twentieth street and Fifth avenue.
and Daughters to the number OF three
hundred were gathered there from
nineteen states OF the Union. Massa-
chusetts, the largest delegation, sought
to win the position Of chief executive.
The nominating committee dettly
sought to block their plan by naming
Miss Sara Hunt-Massachusetts shin
ing llght-as recording secretary on the
official ticket.
Scarcely had her name been read
when Miss Hunt, with deep regrets"
and some acerbity, declined the nomi-
nation.
The true inwardness OF this move
came out when nominations for presl-
dent-general were called for from the
floor, Miss Sterling being the official
nominee. Miss Hunt was Immediately put
up, with Mrs. d. Phoenix Ingraham, OF
New York: Mrs. Charles Francis Roe'
who refused to run, and several others
Then began n dispute over proxy
votes. Massachusetts made the point
that no proxy votes could be accepted
unless properly cancelled with a ten
cent revenue stamp. In second half
dozen woman were on their feet to pro-
test. Mrs. Henry Sanger. Snow, the re-
firing president general, forced score
OF directors on both sides to subside.

"That technlcality cannot be sprung
upon u.s." declared Mrs. Snow, emphat-
ically. IAN our unstumped proxy votes
are legal. We conduct our affairs our
own way"
Mrs. Snow retired and Miss Sterling
took the chair when the returns were
read.

nounced by way of preface, that there
must be n second ballot. Twenty-six
more votes have been cast than can be
accounted for There is some Irregular

me to say. since am candidate
The second ballot resulted in Miss
Sterling's undlsputed election.
The other sensation of the day was
the questioning of the treasurer, Miss
Viola D. Warnings, accounts. Miss
Warning resigned in February.

Deafness cnnpot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inAamed con-
dltlon Of the mucous lining OF the Eus-
tachlan Tube. When this tube gets
lnnamcd you have rumbllng sound or
imperfect hearing. and when It is en-
tlrcly closed deafness Is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored TO Its nor
nal condition hearing will be destroyed
forever: nine cases out Of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an lnAamed condition OF the mucous
surfaces.

theater-happy as CLANS
They are the pack of mammals
brought here by Captain C. L. Adams
to do curious tricks this week for Mr..
Polls patrons On the stage they are
wonderful for no one imagined that in
environment so different from their nat
ural home they would display obedi-
ence or skill.
Despite their appearance they are as
gentle as SO many house dogs. Indeed,
their docility and love of fondling and
attention closely resembles the charac-
teristlc of the dog.
A great many requests have come to
Manager Poll for a near view of these
strange creatures, in response to which
he has arranged for brief lecture and
exhibition In the theater on Friday
morning, which will be given free of

go on the stage and within hands

WATER COMMITTEES MEETING
Held a Hearing Last Night on Alder
man Shepard's Resolution.

Held a Hearing Last Night on Alder
man Shepard's Resolution
There was a meeting of the joint
standing committee on water last night
to hear the resolution of Alderman
Shepard concerning the question of fur
nishing water for the city by the sys-
tenn of sunken wells. The meeting was
a public one and was quite We'll attend
ed.
| Alderman Shepard was called upon
and gave some interesting figures re-
garding the use of the system in differ
ent towns and cities Of the country and
said that Brooklyn, N. y, was the pio-
neer in adopting the system. That city
adopted the system in 1882 and now
over two hundred cities and towns are
supplied with water from gravel. The
first advantage, Alderman Shepard said
was that it was cheaper than any other
system and could be instituted here at
comparatively small cost when COM
pared to that of storing up water on
the surface as is done here now. An
other big advantage was that the water
was practically pure.
Alderman Shepard then read several
letters that were replies to his regarding
the system in various cities. Letters
from Lowell, Mass, Goschen, Ind,
Binghamton, N. T., Benton Harbor,
Mich, and Camden and Newark, N. j.,
We're among them. The total cost of
building the system in Lowell, which is
about the size of New Haven, was $780,
600. This plant is capable Of producing
100000 gallons day. The water from
the driven wells in Lowell is much pur-
err than that from the surface system
used before the wells were driven. Mr..
Shepard said that the probabilities were
that New Haven was better adapted
for the artesian well system than any
of the cities he had mentioned In an
swer to question by Councilman
Walsh, Mr. Shepard said that there was
hardly q chance for the scheme falling
if it was once recommended.
Roy L. Baker of Providence, r. T., an
expert on artesian and driven wells, was
asked to give come opinions concerning
the advantages of the system, and did
so. Mr. Barker said that he had looked
over the ground around New Haven and
thought that three plants located within
four or five miles Of the center of the
city, having about two hundred wells in
each, would furnish the city with the
necessary 100000 gallons a day and
have four or five million gallons remain
ing in the wells
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Bankers talk
the committee went into executive ses-
sion and voted to have another hearing

know enough to get his deeds recorded
sometimes these deeds are worthless.
One deed I examined contained among
other things these words. 'As Moses
lifted up the serpent in the wilderness
SO have lifted IS from this old niggers
pocket. Yet this useless deed was
cherished as valuable property. 1
have had the pleasure of organizing in
our county Joint stock companies
among my race with paid in capital for
mercantile enterprises, which have suc-
ceeded very well, patronized by both
races. Usually, however,I advise in
5vestment in old tried enterprises. Much
of the crime attributed toythe negroes
in the south has been justly so attrib-
uted. But it is in changing all this
that Hampton's best work is done.
The decrease is remarkable. From the
vicinity Of Hampton there We're pun
ished in 1896 twenty six negroes con-
victed of felony. In, 1899 there were
only nine. Now a criminal lawyer
would starve thare
Drink is the greatest cause. Hamp-
ton by teaching it's evils has caused To-
cal option to Danish forty-eieht saloons
from one county, and sixty-four from
three Others"
When Mr.. Walker had this agitation
well under way the saloon element see
ing the trade of the negroes going from
them offered him $1,000 in money and
situation as permanent counsel The
offer was declinedq without thanks
Ninety per cent. of the Hampton grad
yates stay in the county where they be-
long.
John W. WIFI, the son of Sioux In
dian chief, told how his father after
visit to Washington had decided that
the only way to cope with the white
man was to get education He thought
girls needed more education than boys
Nearly all the Sioux graduates of
Hampton are good craftsmen, and own
the land where they live The first
twenty-five Indians who came to
Hampton went afterwards to Carlisle.
Rev. I'll. B. Frissell, the principal
gave a most pleasing talk on the his
tory, condition and aims of the school,
He said that they now had sixty build
ings and 1000 students, negroes, In
dams and whites. They had sent fifty
teachers to Tuskegee. Their best grad
yates not only help themselves but ed
ducate their brothers. OF this class
Booker T. Washington is the most in
spring type. Such are the demands |
made on the school that it is obliged to
decline the applications of two-thirds |
of those needing it's aid. Mr.. Frisselrs |
talk was illustrated by very convincing |
views shown with a stereopticon. These |
views showed not only the evolution of |
the Sioux savage into the teacher and |
preacher, but the evolution of the te- /
pee into the home; of the ghost dance |
into the prayer meeting.
At intervals the Hampton quartet |
rendered most delightfully."- some plan
tation choruses, not heard heretofore in
this city, closing with a chant Of the
Lords Prayer.

PROFESSOR MARSH'S COLLEC-
TION.
The Sale is Now Going on in New
York

The Sale is Now Going on in New
York
New York Feb. 27.-The sale of the
Immense collection, or, rather, collec-
tions of art objects which belonged to
the late Profeesor~O c. Marsh of Yale
university was begun yesterday after
noon at the galleries of the American
Art association, Broadway and TWEEN
ty-third street. There was but small
attendance, and the prices realized were
for the most part low.
Professor Marsh was a collector of al
most every class of object which comes
under the head of either rare or curl
oue, and it is possible that his very
catholicity of taste is responsible for
the low prices which his collection--or
that part of it at present sold-has
brought. He was not able to pay suffi-
cient attention to any one class of OBJ
jects to become an expert in the knowl-
edge of it, and in consequence his col
lections contain number of second-rate
pieces. There are also, however, many
fine specimens, but apparently these are
being sold at very low prices because
of the presence Of the less desirable
lots.
