Harvard Trying to Induce Yale to
 Enter Such Race

New Haven, Conn, Jan 23.-Tbe Corinthian yacht club of Yale has re- ceived letter from the Harvard Yacht club inviting Yale to participate in an intercollegiate yacht race. It is proposed to limit the size of the boats to a twentyfoot water line, and to hold the race at some neutral point such as Newport. R. l., at the time of the New York Yacht club cruise. If agreeable to both colleges, the propo- sition is that the race shall be open to all colleges. The letter says a num- Der of men interested in yachting have offered 10 present small sum toward a perpetual challenge trophy with the understanding that the boats shall be owned and manned by college mem- hers. !.

TRuANr OFFICER HURLEY.
Finally Located, After Three Days
 Search, 2 Missing Pupil.

ISSdICA, l -AlSS1uk up1ls
 This afternoon Truant Officer Tur- ley completed, g good piece of detec- tive work. About eight months ago q little girl named Nellie Healey was sent by her parents to work in 8 board ing house at 1G5 South Main street, kept by woman whose name is said to be Sunderland. Nellie was sent to school regularly and to St Johns church also. notwithstanding that she is Catholic, as are all her people. Of late she has been absent from school q good deal; she was a pupil in Miss Nellie Galvin's room in the Clay street school. This was how the truant officer became connected with the case. Last Sunday Nellie was sent as usual ito Sunday school in St Johns 5 church, because, as she herself said, Mrs Sunderland believed she could learn as much there about the Bible as in the Catholic Sunday school. Nell lie went to the school and while there q man entered and took her away. When she failed to return to Mrs Sun dsrland's at the usual time that wom- an became alarmed, believing that something had happened to the girl and knowing she would not voluntarily remain away, having no complaint against the house. Nothing was heard of the girl until this afternoon. when she was located at the house of Louis Strobel. 223 North Elm street Tru- ant Officer Hurley had been three days looking her up. The solution to the girls disappearance .is this. The strange man who removed her from tne church Sunday was her brother who boards at the Wayside Inn on Grand street. He, it appears, took her to their eldest sister, who is en- ployed at Clark Nichols's on the Wa tertown road, and the latter placed her with the Strobels in response to an advertisement for q little girl to help in a boarding house. The explan- alton the Strobels gave for her non-at- tendance at school was that she lacked proper clothing and has a severe cold. They expected to be able to clothe her in few days, and if she is well enough at that time will send her to school. The Strobers are of the same faith as the little girl, and this, it ap- pears, was one reason why her sister placed her there.

 New York, Jan 23-Justin McCar- :Ly makes this statement relative to the political effect of King Edward flL's accession, particularly in it's bearing on the Irish cause, says l London dispatch to the World.
 'Ihe Prince has never given, as far as l have heard, any expression of opinion from which Irish nationalistS could derive any encouragement to their hopes, and his surroundings would seem likely to be favorable to an imperialistic policy and not sympa- thetic with Irish claims.
 'Ihe time has gone by, however. when the mere sympathies of q sover- eign either way could much affect the prospects of the Irish cause. Irish men must look to their own united and patriotic action to press the jus tice of their claims on the attention of parliament and the people and make it clear that nothing can satisfy Ire land short of the restoration of her national parliament.r
 New York, Jan 23-Sir Thomas Lipton has cabIed the following to the World on the queens death:
 ''In the darkest hour of personal grief that the empire of England has ever seen. I desire to say how intense ly ] feel that the heart of your great republic, ever true to it's home tradi- tions. will throb with responsive sor- row for Q sovereign who has exalted the womanhood of the world, and gSv- en new dignity to the duties of 8 throne. 1 trust that her memory, winch must now be our most cherished possession, will consecrate that uni versal kinship which fn her life she did so much to promote.''

"And how you vhas today, Mr..
Sprocket?" asked the German grocer
as the ianitor Of McMurphy's new flats
lounged in the other afternoon and
cast covetous eyes on a pyramid OF
shredded Goldfish boxes.
"All right, Mr. Wasserman, except
for my asthma, thank you,'' was the
reply.

asthma?

General Manager Lawson Would Con-
fer With the Street Railway
People About Crossings.
INTER-LoCK SWITCHES OFFERED
Northwestern Railway Company is willing
to Meet the Company Half way in a
Plan to Insure Safe Crossings.

General Manager Lawson or the
Northwestern Railway company has
conferred with influential citizens OF
the city and is DESTROYS that the coun'
ell of the city take some action to have
the Kenosha Street Railway company
confer with the Northwestern COM
pany in regard to the crossings to be
put in by the two companies IN this
city. Mr.. Lawson states that the talk
of the Northwestern company oppos-
ing the Railway company is simply
idle folly as no order has been issued
for such action, nor has the company
as yet taken any notice of the road be-
ing constructed in this city.
However, Mr.. Lawson desires for the
safety of the people employed on the
trains and for the facilitating of busi-
ness in Kenosha to have some agree
ment reached between the two COM
panies in regard to the crossings to be
put in by the electric road over the
different crossings of the Northwest
ern. The Northwestern company is
ready to meet the Electric company
half way and they are suggesting that
the two companies agree to put IN
inter-locking switches or subways,
thus making crossing accidents posi-
lively impossible.
Up to the present time the Street
Railway company have not sought a
conference with the Northwestern on
this important question and if some
agreement is not made it is probable
that open crossings will be laid which
will be of great danger to the lives OF
the travelling public using both of the
roads. The Northwestern company
states that it desires to deal with the
Street Railway company in spirit of
fairness and that it will second any
move made by the company to insure
safe crossings.
The matter is being generally dis
cussed among the manufacturers of
the city and it is probable that they
will petition the Council, asking that
the company confer with the North
western on this important matter.
The street railway is not in any way
considered a rival of the steam road
and for this reason the company is
making no objections to the Kenosha
road crossing their tracks under the
proper conditions. It is to be hoped
that some action will be taken in the
near future to insure a proper settle
n1ent of the matter in order that the
construction of the road may not be
delayed by further controversy.

BeviIdering Variety In Hats.

The hat with many brims is one OF
the fads this season, and it may be
supplied with two or five if you like,
according to the New York Sun. A
light blue straw hat shows five brims
yelled with blue chiffon, but SO arrang-
ed that they fail very closely together,
and the simple trimming is bow of
soft ribbon in green and blue with two
large quilts straight across the front.
Turban toques are perhaps the moss
popular style just at the moment for
spring wear, but the larger shapes
with broader brims are biding their
time. Toques of colored straw with a
rosette of silk to match and one con-
trasting quill, possibly silver and
black, for trimming are one specially
A military hat in the tricOrne shape is
one Of the fashionable shapes made
wonderfully becoming by the way it is
trimmed and perched on the head in a
coquettish manner. The brfm and half
Of the crown on the left 51de are almost
covered with roses.
With the great variety of straws, mil
an braids, silk straws, leghorns, chips
and crinoline added to the endless va
riety in combinations of straw and
chiffon and straw and tulle it is an
easy matter to imagine something of
the diversity which is possible in the
millinery department.

Fancy Names Grow Fewer.

There will be fewer NAMES and Sa-
dies and Pearls in the next generation
and more Marys. Elizabeths, Lucys,
Margarets, Dorothys and Priscillas, ac-
cording to clergyman who christens
more babies than most Of his reverend
brethren.
Families are going back to the old
fashioned names and are abandoning
the fancy ones which it was the fad to
fasten upon the baby girls Of few
years ago.
Curiously enough, the clergyman
says, there isn't any fashion in boys
names. Year in and year out most of
the boy babies get the plain names, and
just a small proportion start life weigh
ed down with queer ones.
