Things are happening thick and fast in the Schley case. The Secretary of the Navy has approved the findings of the majority of the court of inquiry, &C., cepted the recommendation that no fur ther proceedings be had and dissolved the court. He has also refused the ap- plication of Admiral Sampson's counsel to inquire into the question of com
 mana Last, if not least, he has called for the resignation of Historian Maclay, who has made about as much trouble as anybody concerned in the row. The navy being thus strengthened out, or laid out, the army has also got it's dose in the shape of sharp censure of Gen. eral Miles Secretary Root thus wrote to him: Tt is of no consequence on whose side your opinion was, or what it was. You had no business in the con- troversy, and no right, holding the off, flee which you did, to express any opin- ion. Your conduct was in violation of the regulation above cited and of the rules of official propriety, and you are justly liable to censure, which I now express.''
 Few will find fault with the action taken against Maclay. Whether he acted on his own motion or was the tool of others he has been justly punished It is also pretty clear that when Gen. eral Miles said what he did he allowed his feelings to get the better of his judgment. His talk was not favorable to discipline and he is properly rebuked for it. But when everybody has been duly sat upon or set upon the fact will remain that Admiral Schley did the business at Santiago and generously proclaimed that there was glory enough fer all

4 DISCORD4NT NOTE.

This Is undoubtedly the most pros porous country the sun shines on, but it is rather shocking to read that desti- tuition such as needs prompt and gen. erous relief exists in Ozark county, Missouri, a mountainous region near the Arkansas line. So complete Is the famine there, as a result of the long, continued drought, that unfortunate families are sustaining life on what the woods furnish, such as acorns and nuts. There is but little wheat grown in that locality, and the corn crop has always been the chief source of sustenance among the poorer mountaineers This year the corn perished in the tassel and whole fields failed to yield even a bush el of nubbins. The cattle and hogs had to be sold in the latter part of the sum- mer because of lack of feed for win tering them, and the cold weather has found the country stripped of live stock as never before.
 This is starving in tho midst of plenty. Of course this famine wont be allowed to continue long. This is not a good year for famine in the United States.

WHAT'S THE USEe

Whats the use of talking any more
 now about buying out the Water com pany? New Haven isn't quite as poor
 as the man who said that he was so poor that If steamboats were selling for a cent apiece he couldn't buy a gang 1 plank, but she certainly can't afford to | buy waterworks at cost of five or six million. Moreover, there doesn't seem to be any general demand that she should go violently down steep place into the water. There are in this city some sincere and hearty believers in what is sonorously called municipal ownership of public utilities" They have right to their opinion and to the per sistent and vociferous expression of it. But we have no doubt that 8 large ma jority of the people are opposed to more debt, more poor politics and other poor things that would be sure to at tend such a performance as buying out the Water company would be.
 Give us fair and suitable contract with the company and let it go at that This should be done not for the "wid- ows and orphans" of the Water com pany, but for the people of New Haven who have been made to feel like widows and orphans by high taxes and other municipal woes. They are in no mood just now to be burdened any more, even though soothing promise that it will be for their good is thrown in.

peat number of sentences. At a dis tance of ten miles the sounds were plainly heard by a large number of people, every word being perfectly dis tfnct, and at a second trial, withsa fa- vorable wind, it was found that an un- known message could be taken down in shorthand at distance of twelve miles. Over the water the sounds will carry still further, and under favorable cir cumstances they might easily be heard by persons on vessel fifteen miles out at sea.
 This is going to be an interesting world Perhaps we shall soon be able to hear the grass grow, or even to hear ourselves think. Then we can know that we do think.

JUDGMENT SUDDENLY REVERS
 ED.

He had been hanging around my girl for some time, and I saw that unless something was done before long he would soon become a member of the family. I had drowned upon the mat. ter right from the start, as I didn't think he was good enough for my daughter. But from the beginning l simply constituted hopeless minority, as my wife thought he was a perfect paragon. thought I knew better, and when, one Sunday I saw him at ball game, l was sure of it.
 l am great lover of the American game and Sunday is the only day that I have time to attend, I have always been very careful to keep from my wife the fact that I ever attended a game of ball on Sunday, as she is a very strict church member, and views with horror any one who seeks pleasure on the Sabbath. So, when I saw the young man there at the game I thought I had found a way to bring her over to my side, knowing full well that if I did, his chances of becoming a member of the family were mighty slim. l hadn't the slightest idea that he had seen me there, and I thought I could startle an admission from him that would show him up in his true colors, and without danger to myself. So, when he called the other night, I said suddenly.

1 TEN-M LIE SHO UTTER.

There is apparently no limit to the achievements of the modern wonder workers. No sooner have we got a lit- tie accustomed to wireless telegraphy
 than the news comes that phonograph that shouts so loud that every word can be heard at distance of ten miles has been made and successfully tested at Brighton, England. The machine is the invention of Horace l.. Short. In ap- pearance it is merely an ordinary pho- nograph with a large trumpet, measur- ing four feet in length. Inside this trumpet there is small delicate piece of mechanism that looks something like a whistle. This is the tongue of the machine. Instead of the records" be- ing taken on wax in the usual manner sapphire needle is made to cut the dots representing the sound vibrations on q silver cylinder and when the needle travels over the metal second time the vibrations cause the whistle to produce a series of air-waves, and the machine thus becomes talking siren, which transforms the human voice into a deafening roar. The experiments were made near the Devils Dyke, Brighton, where the inventor has his workshops. The instrument was placed on the roof of the laboratory, and was made to re-

 "oh, Just sat two rows ahead of you" he answered easily.
 That threw explanations back on me and left me gasping for breath Fine sermon, wasn't it2" he added a moment later, coming to my rescue like the trump he is.
 "Oh, you dear fellow. did you go to church and say nothing to me about it?" cried my wife. How lovely! What was the text?"

GOODS MADE ON HONOR.

Apropos of the general sale that was opened by The George H. Ford Co. on Monday, it will be well to re- call the invariable practice of this house.
 The stock that it purchases is ob- tained from old and reliable firms They have looked askance at the alluring bids made for their trade by firms that offered cheapness as an argument The George H. Ford Company desires the assurance of quality first; the price matter was an after consideration.
 Many houses have not scrupled to advertise goods with the statement that "a jeweler will charge twice as much as we do.'
 That statement is perhaps correct in the main, for twice as much, in many instances, should be charged for the genuine article. The half price article has been too often found spurious to deceive anyone who has expert knowledge. The public, as a mass, are not experts, therefore they can be deceived for a time. The only safeguard against this deception is to deal with  reputable and experienced house, such as The George H. Ford Co.
 A karet mark by this house means just what it implies. When they make the goods in their own fac tory, the most exact precision in this regard is adopted. When they buy, it Is from houses whose name Is absolute proof that the article is devoid of all spurious and question: able quality.
 During this sale the entire stock of the house, including some goods bought in Europe last summer, and exhibited now for the first time. is being sold at reductions of from 20 to 50 per cent.
