OBITUARY NOTES.
Death of willard H. Ensign--.Lnst OF a
Prominent Family or Brothers.


Prominent Family or Brothers.
! The public will learn with regret Of
the death of Willard r. Ensign, one Of
our best known and esteemed citizens
a man Of unspotted private life and
much beloved by his circle Of friends.
He passed away yesterday after short
illness with Brights disease. On
Thursday last he lapsed into a coma
tose state and it was then seen that
his case was hopeless. He was a man
whose robust appearance and good ply
f, steal proportions suggested that he was
in perfect health, but he had suffered
much from rheumatism In the last few
years. He was the last Of a family Of
| four brothers, all Of whom were promi-
nent men here. Howard b., was
| leading hardware merchant here for
years and finally seeking larger field
of activity went to Baltimore, Md,
where he became owner Of an impor-
+ tant steamship line and died leaving
large estate. Another brother was the
late Wooster A. Ensign who conducted
a hardware store for years on Chapel
street, later in life conducting the bust
ness on Orange street near the foot Of
Center street. Another brother, Thorn.
as W., who conducted leather bust
ness on George street. died about two
months ago.The hides. skin and leather
business conducted by Thomas w. En-
sign & Son was business which had
come down from father to sons for sew
eral generations. Before the days Of
the steam railroads II was a very -four
ishing business and there were several
prominent New Haven firms engaged In
the business all on George street, the
firms each conducting tannery.
Willard r. Ensign early in life entered
the employ OF his brother, who kept a
hardware store in Chapel street, near
that of the John e. Bassett company,
and he was for time connected with
the latter firm. He married Miss En-
lily Savage OF Mlddletown, and subse-
quently removed to Pittsburg, Pa, and
later engaged in business in Chicago, |
where he resided for several years.
About fifteen years ago he returned to
his native city and occupied one of the |
two houses which he had built, on |
George street, just above High street, |
not far from his early home. A devoted |
husband and quiet and unassuming in
his manners, he will be greatly missed
by his friends and associates. He was
q trustee of the National Savings bank,
and member of the board Of direc-
tors of the Young Mems Institute,
with fidelity upon one of the
Of that institution.

AMERICAN SHOPS AS SEEN BY 4
 BRITISH MECHANIC.

As a journeyman who has spent seven years in American shops, wish to speak of one or two things in which American shops are inferior to ours, and also suggest where we might i'm prove.
 think there is at least as much brains here as in American shops. should be sorry to see even the best American workman come into our shops in large numbers. They would do good to the extent in which they stirred some of our slow places up, without tending to increase or to pre- vent the reduction of working hours; but, on the other land, I am afraid there can be no doubt but that the moral tone of both masters and men would be lowered. English workmen now are, comparatively speaking, men of principle, and masters are magnan imous and reliable. The men-if I may put it In rather a strong, perhaps exaggerated form-know that they are slaves, and they stand together and trust one another. In America they either do not know 1t, or pretend hot to, and they do not trust each other. Rather an ideal state of things. per hars, from the employers point of view, and still more so the Tact that less supervision is required iE an American shop; the presence or ab- sence of the foreman making little or no difference in the amount or work done. When the reason of it is under stood, however, when one finds that it is not due to a more honest disposi- tiOn, but the reverse; that it is due to fear and distrust of each other, then it may not appear so desirable. Every man knows that if he loafs, or does anything for himself, the employer is as certain to know of it as if it was done before his eyes. l will say>that my experience has been in New Jersey and Pennsylvania only, and that the former state has q bad reputation, so much so that Jerseymen cannot oD- | tain employment in some Pennsylvania l shops.
 The two worst things about Ameri- | can shops are the petty, sneaking, tale | bearing character of most of the men, l and the long hours-a siXty-hour week | and scarcely any holidays, rarely more 1 than day at a time.
 l IL is a pity that England should 1 have to lead, while other countries
 have an advantage over us; and before 1 the condition of our own workmen can | be improved it is necessary that the l countries we are competing with | should approach nearer to our own 1 level.
 We want q better, but at the same l time a magnanimous and kindly real | iZation of the natural inferiority of for
 eigners generally. This may, per
 haps, cause a smile, but nevertheless
 there Is truth in it. 1 do not pretend
 to be quite impartial; have not been
 back in England long enough.
 Only those who have lived in Amer
 ica can realize the seltishness and in- 1 tense patriotism of the American peo- l pie. Our jingoism might almost be l considered as internationalism by the
 side of it.-London Engineering

TEACHING BRITOES TO DRINK
 SODA WATER

In q window of a chemists shop (druS Store) in the Grand Hotel block, on Colmore TOW, Birmingham, there has been for two months a sign on all American soda fountain advertising various kinds of sodas and phOSphates. The fountain has been a striking sue cess. The proprietor is an enterprising man who is ready to try new things. Following the installation of the foun- tain came hot weather, and on one day he sold LOGO glasses Of various fi;i- vorS; on other days, six or seven hun dred glasses, and even during recent cooler weather there has been Il profita- blc business. The winter use of the soda fountain having been explained, he expects to build up hot beef tea. hot clam juice tiff he can get the clam juice), and soda tonicS trade. It was not possible to introduce ice cream soda this season, owing to the small size of the shop. Doctors called and denounced the use of soda water. fear ing harmful effects from the danger ous ice cold liquid, and then took it themselves, just as they do at home The success of this fountain is another indication of the growth of the ice habit in England. Colmore TOW is a great thoroughfare, but is not as likely q place for soda water fountain as is crowded New street. It seems that an American soda fountain syndicate has taken up the matter of the introduc- tion of soda water fountains in Eng land and is determined to, and will, succeed. They offered inducements this summer in prices. etc, to any one in any British city who would put in the first fountain, and a number of | cities have them now in successful op- eration.-Consul Marshal Halsteao, Birmingham.

AGED PAIR ELOPED.

Holm Millens. aged 70, and Nancy Downey. T1. of MiddletoWn, \. 1., were married without gaining the consent of their children, but now they have been forgiven and are as happy as any younger wooers.
 The widower's wooing was not only sincere but ardent. and Aunt Nancy was just as coQuettish as i'll years gone hy when she had captivated the heart of her children's father. when the old couple coyly hinted at an engage mert the children laughed, then grew serious and finally tlatly opposed the marriage.
 So there was nothing to do put elope, and Aunt" Nancy and "Uncle' John eloped. They drove fourteen miles to the home of an old friend and were married. The bride and bride groom were so happy when they re- turned and confessed their marriage that the children relented and extend ed their blessing.
 Millens lived with his son on q farm near Shawangunk, Ulster county. ad- Joining the farm of Mrs Downcy. She had been a widow for many years. Millenss wife died two years ago.
 When the aged widower's attention to the widow was first noticed it was considered q joke by their families and neighbors. but when daily calls were made family councils were held and obstacles were put ill the way of the wooing.
 Aunt Nancy's children were away last Friday evening. Uncle" John knew of this and appeared at the door with his horse and carriage. Aunt Nancy put on her bonnet and shaw. and was handed into the carriage The roads were muddy. but they drove at rattling speed to the home of Squire Beyier in Rochester and were married | They rptllrned home SaturlnY

\ STREET CAR INCIDENT.

A small, neatly dressed man made himself extremely obnoxious to q stout middle-aged woman who sat be- side him ill a Lexington avenue car yesterday afternoon. When .Ae little man began his operations there was clear space between them, but he edged over inch by inch until he was almost lost to view behind the ample folds of the stout woman's velvet coat.
 At first the stout woman merely glared at him, but when he got too denness that her back rammed him forclbly into the man who sat on his other side. The people in that part of the car looked at the little man With disapproval, but he seemed no whit discouraged.
 lie worked forward on his seat and over past Ine stout wOmanS defending shoulder until he was again snug be- side her. The stout woman giared at him ferociously and gathered her skirts about her with hirt.
 In reply the little man gaZed at her stony pritile with a mlId appeal that would have been funny had not the rest of the passengers been so disgust ed and indignant. The stout woman looked three-edged snickersnesS at the little man for moment and then nov ed away from him as far as possible. Inside of two minutes the little man was cuddled beside her again. In the movement fold of the stout woman coat fell over the little mans arm He glanced at the stout woman and back at his arm, then sat very still Tor few moments the picture of guilt. Finally, with an inexpressibly shy look at the stout wOm2n's race ne brought his left hand over and laid 1t softly on the fold of her coat. The interested passengers couuld almost hear him purr.
 The action. however. attracted the stout woman's attention. She took m the situation at 3 glance, snatched her coat away and wrapped 1t closely about her, while the little man shrivel- led visibly under her gaze.
 The incident was too much for the rest of the passengers. A big man q few seats away on the opposite slde or the car got up and took off his hat to the stout woman.
 Madam" he said, eff this monkey is annoying you l should be delighted to throw him off the car.
 The stout woman turned her hght- nings from the little man to the Dle one. "Sir" she demanded, ''how dare you sneak to me in that manner or my nus hand, "Daniel.'' to the little man, are Io,, , man to sit there and see me III
 "Oh, damn.' choked the big man making for the door. The rest of the passengers Shllleo d things in the street.-NeW 1ork euh'
