MANY LADIES ATTEND.

The Demonstration Lectures on Cook
 cry by Gas Given by Mrs. Lemcke. There was rush of ladies yesterday to attend the opening lectures at War ner hall by Mrs. Gesine Lemcke, one of the noted authorities of the country in her field of endeavor Over three hun- dred ladies were present at the afternoon lecture. It opened at o'clock, and Mrs. Lemcke, who is vivacious and interesting speaker, engaged at once the attention of her audience and held 1t until the close of the lecture, at which time she had prepared a full course dinner, and as the tests showed, the cost of the gas used in preparing the meal was only six cents This would be the cost of the gas in preparing any ordinary meal for family The gas stove Mrs Lemcke used in the demon- stration was burning for one and one half hours At the close of the lecture the ladies, by invitation, stepped for ward and inspected and tasted of the fine dinner, which was evidently very satisfactory.
 This was the first of the series of Mrs. Lemcke's demonstration lectures on cooking gas which she Is to give at Warner hall this week. The second one was given last evening with even more success. The next lectures will be given this and tomorrow afternoon at o'clock, and evenings at o'clock. The admission is by tickets, which are free. In the hall was fine exhibition by the New Haven Gas Light company of its gas ranges and all kinds of cooking ap- paratus sold by the company at its store on Crown street, together with it's Welsbach lights and burners. and portable stands for use while reading It is very interesting display. The exhibition was complete demonstra ton regarding the economy of cooking by the use of fuel gas. Mrs. Lemcke is stopping at the New Haven house.

ally found. Their tall, straight trunks made lumber of the best quality for al- most all purposes. Many of the old pa- triarchs have I helped cut down and make into lumber, shingles, fence rails, etc, during my boyhood days in south ern Ohio. Alas! there are very few such trees standing to-day, except in the most inaccessible places
 But it is as an ornamental tree that it is to be considered at this time. Where grown in the open, it's branches spread out as near the ground as may be de- sired, and the tree assumes a most beau tiful pyramidal shape. The leaves are large and glossy green. Their shape is peculiarly lobed, and very handsome. When ripening in the fall, they become brilliantly yellow, and may be seen from afar, shining among the foliage of other trees of more somber hues. Beau tiful flowers are borne abundantly af- ter the tree attains an age of about f1f- teen years. They are much like tulips ill shape and size, and are of soft greenish-yellow color, with an orange scalloped band running across the mid- dle of the petals. The fioers also have a delicate perfume, that is agreeable to most persons. The seeds are borne on cone-shaped spike in the center of the flower, and when mature are winged, somewhat like those of the pines and naples.
 In addition to the beauties of the tulip tree, it hao another and very impor- tant characterstic-tha of hardness and endurance under the very trying conditions that are likely to be met in cultivation. As street tree there are none better, and few as good, all things considered. In Washington, D. O., with asphalt pavements on all sides, the tulip tree proves to be one of the most satis- factory of the many kinds tried It is a part of the plano the park commis- sioners there to line both aides of a street with one kind of shade tree, and the next one with another, and so on through long list of species; for nearly every street in the city is thus adorned, and some of them with double rows on each side. In several cases the tulip tree has been used and found to be one of the best.
 As a shade tree on the lawn it Is very desirable. It's symmetrical shape, abun- dant and beautiful foliage, and hand some flowers, all combined, make 1t suitable either as solitary specimen or for grouping with other trees. Fortu- nately 1t has few insect enemies or fun gus diseases to prey upon either foliage or wood. With reasonable care in transplanting, there Is little danger of loss from failure to grow. When set in moderately fertile soil, it's growth is sufficiently rapid; although loose, loamy and rather rich soil suite 1t best. However, it will succeed where almost any of our common trees flourish under cultivation Give 1t a fair trial.-Rural New Yorker.

AN UNNATURAL. DAUGHTER.

1 Rich, Yet Willing to Let Her Aged Mother Go to the Almshouse. Hartford, May 2-Mrs. Pomroy Grace lives in handsome style here and is said
 to be worth $20oO00, Yet yesterday in
 the court of common pleas the select
 men of Bristol brought suit against her
 to compel her to support her aged mother.
 That venerable woman. Mrs. Baldwin, eighty-seven years old, lives at Bristol It is alleged that Mrs. Grace does not wish her to live there, and for that req son refuses to contribute more than s1 week to her support
 Selectman Warner of Bristol testified that in 1898 Mrs. Grace authorized him to expend $2 and some cents week on Mrs. Baldwin. Later, however, Mrs. Grace limited the expenditure to $1 a week.
 Then Mrs. Baldwin was sworn. In a quavertng voice she reluctantly said she was not in good health, but she could not afford to call In a physician
 But you know I'm almost ninety years old," she added, apologetically. "I can't expect to be smart and healthy at my age. But I earn little money mak- ing comfortables, for my eyesight is still good. and that's great deal to be thankful for. Besides, the church gives me money, and the minister supplies me with coal"

MERITS OF THE TULIP TREE.
For Ornamental Planting on Streets
 and Private Grounds.

For Ornamental Planting on Streets and Private Grounds.
 Among the most beautiful trees of our
 American forests there are none of the
 deciduoue kinds that surpass the tulip
 tree in general excellence under cultiva-
 tion. The elrns are graceful in form,
 and grand in their majestic bearing;
 the naples are unexcelled in density of shade and the beautiful coloring of their foliage in autumn, but the tulip tree should not be forgotten by the planter, wherever it will grow, and that is from the great lakes to the gulf of Mexico. It is a tree of sturdy, upright habit, and one of both beauty and utility. It is na- tive as far north as the southern parts of Vermont and Michigan, and extends from there to northern Florida, and westward to Arkansas. In the hilly and mountainous regions, from Virginia to Indiana and Kentucky, this stately tree reaches it's highest development. Where the soil is rich, yet loSse and well drained, as on some of the mountain slopes of the Blue ridge and the Alle- ghenies and among the alluvial hills skirting the Ohio river and its tributa- ries, there have been millions of gigan- tic trees of this species, there called yellow poplar, although it is not true poplar, but very close kin to the mag nolias. A few are yet standing that the have not been able to de- stroy Trees that were four to five feet In diameter, and one hundred feet high, were by no means uncommon. and those six or seven feet across the stump and ,ne hundred and twenty-five to one hun dred and fifty feet high, were occasion

THE NEGRO SINCE THE CIVIL
 WAR

The admirable conduct of the negro during the civil war made it seem pos sible to have the readjustment of his re- lations on the basis of freedom brought about with minimum of friction. As whole, the former slaves had stayed l on the land where they belonged. Many 1, of those who had wandered, moved by the homing instinct so strong In their 1 race, found their way back to their ac- customed places. The bonds of mutual interest and old affections were enough, had the situation been left without out side disturbance, to have made the transition natural and easy. It Is true that the negro, with his scant wage paid in supplies, would not have ad- vanced very far In the ways of freedom. He would have been hardly better than the middle-age serf bound to his field. It would, however, have been better to begin with a minimum of liberty, with provision for schooling and franchise based on education. But this was not to be. Political ends and the popular misconception of the negroes as beings who differ from ourselves only in the
 
 their hair led to their immediate en- franchsement and to the disenfran- chisements of their masters. This was attended by an invasion into the south of the worst political rabble that has ever cursed the land. There were good and true men among the carpet bag gers, but as a lot they were of bad ness such as the world has not known since captured provinces were dealt out to the political gamblers of Rome.
 The overthrow of the carpet-bag gov- ernments, quietly vet effectively accom- plished removed the only danger of war between the blacks and whites We cannot well imagine another crisis so likely to bring about a conflict of that kind The blacks were driven from power. Their desperate leaders would willingly have led them to fight, but the allegiance to the ancient masters was too strong, their trust in the carpet bagger for all his affectation of love, too slight to set them on that way. The negro fell back as near as might be to the place he held at the close of the war His position was thereafter worse than 1t was at that station in his his
 
 which the behavior of their servants during the rebellion had inspired was replaced in the mind of the dominant race by an abiding sense of the iniqui- ties in which the ex-slaves had shared. | and to this day, the black | man is looked upon as a political enemy | who has to be watched lest he will again | win a chance to control the state. In | the greater part of the south this fear is 1 passing away. In several states new laws concerning he franchise have 1 made it practically impossible for the negro vote to be source of danger for | some time to come-until, indeed, the negro is better educated and has prop erty. There is a share of iniquity in hese laws as there IS apt to be in all action relating to situation that rests E ,n ancient evils. but their effect Is bet CT than that of terrorism and tissue ballots which it replaces. They will af- ord time for the new adjustments to be ffected.-Professor N. s. Shaler in Ap- 'leton's Monthly.

A GARRISON'S PLUCKY FIGHT
AMERICANS ALMOST 4 ANNIHILATED
 BY FILIPINOS.
Details of the Five Days' Fight With Insurgents KtiIrd-Persistent Refusal

Manila, May 2.-The American garri- son of Catubig Island of Samar, con- sisting of thirty men belonging to the Forty-third regiment has been at tackled by rebels. Twenty of the Amer jeans were killed, The remainder were rescued, from annihilation.
 The Americans were quartered in the Catubig church, which the enemy, num- bering several hundred men, surrounded and fiercely attacked. The Americans fought for two days and then the rebels managed to ignite the roof of the church and it burned away and finally fell upon those inside the edifice. The walls remained Intact, however, and were used as shelter by the besieged Americans for three days longer, the en- emy. attacking the building on all three sides at once.
 The Americans continued firing from the windows and doors of the church and great execution among the Filipi- nos. It is estimated that over two hun dred of the latter were killed, many dead bodies being removed from the scene of the fighting.
 After five days resistance by the Ann orleans, lieutenant and eight men ar- rived from Laoana and engaged the be- siegers, who thereupon retired. The for tunate arrival of these achievements prevented the annihilation of the Am erican force entrenched in the church, who had repeatedly declined to surren- der when ordered to do so by the Filipi- nos.
 The ten survivors were without food, had little ammunition and were physi- cally exhausted when relieved.
 This fight has encouraged the Filipi- nos, who are now acting in an aggres- sive manner and threatening that sec ton of the coast, particularly the town of Catarma, whence the garrison will probably be withdrawn to Laoana

A GREAT TEA STORE

And Why it is So We'll Patronized.
 Goodwin's tea store, 344 State street, Yale bank building, meets with great favor, and deservedly so, because any one who likes fine cup of exhilarating coffee or a cup of the beverage which the poet Cowper said cheers, but does not inebriate, and who buys the tea or coffee at Goodwin's can rest assured that they are getting reliable goods, as none but reliable goods are sold there. MT. Goodwin is as good judge of teas, coffees and spices as there is in this good old state of Connecticut, which

YALE 5, BROWN 1.
GAME AT YALE
 
 FEED YESTERDAY.
Yale's Runs Scored on the Errors of the Visitors - Washburn, the Brown Pitcher, Poorly Supporfed-Heid faie Down for Five Innings.


 Pitcher, Poorly supported-HeId Yale
 Down for Five Innings.
 As a whole, the team from Brown university, which played Yale at the field yesterday afternoon, was not What 1t was expected it would be, after it's recent victory over Harvard, and, there- fore, Yale's victory does not possess the significance it otherwise might have had Yale won by the score of D to 1. but not a run was earned. Four er- TOTS, which appear against Brown in the tabulated score tell the tale. Aside from these the game was very cleaniy played and was a good exhibition Of ball. Browns slump, although 1t gave Yale just the opportunity needed, was very disappointing and utterly unex- plainable It came in the fifth inning, up to which time the score had stood 1 to in favor of the visitors. The playing of both sides was sharp and errorless and with the Yalensians' con- ttnued failure to find Washburn the vis- iting twirler, for a safe hit, 1t looked as though defeat was to be their portion. The fifth inning though, proved Brown's Waterloo, and on three successive wild throws Sharpe and Guernsey were en- abled to score two runs for Yale.
 Yale scored her remaining three runs in the seventh inning, and in an almost similar manner, Guernsey and Quinby both received bases on balls and on clean single by Sharpe Guernsey scored. The ball was fielded to third base in an attempt to catch Quimby, and went wild over the basemans head. During the confusion ensuing Sharpe managed to score.
 The game throughout was thorough pitchers battle in which Garvin, aided by good support, came out best Wash burn showed himself an unusually strong twirler, but his fielders seemed to do no headwork. A brilliant one-hand- ed catch of foul-fly was made by Third Baseman Crane in the eighth inning. In order to make the catch he was forc- ed to run almost into the grandstand fence.
