A VERY DIM LIGHT.
The One That Does Duty at Corner Of
 Luke Street.


 The One That Does Duty at Corner Of
 Luke Street.
 In making his rounds through the public streets yesterday afternoon Sil- perintendent Kelley of the street Ge- partment noticed that the electric light at the corner of Luke street and Syl- van avenue was scarcely noticeable on the top of the pole and inquired what was the matter with it. He was in formed by one of the neighbors that 1t was like the lights which Commis- sioner Whiting of the board of public works once said could be found in the north end of the city, that is, one would need q lantern to find it. The light in question has not burned on an average of three nights a week for the past month and while everybody has been kicking about it, still no one considered it his business to report the fact to the company. The superinten- dent promised to inquire into the nat ter If people would report such cases to the company they would re- ceive prompt attention, but it is tlle old story. what's everybody's business is nobody's business. A man calls there every day and does whatever he thinks necessary with it, but it doesn't work right, after all, though it has been doing better than usual the past few nights. It worked like a charm last evening. Probably the super;n- tendent gave them the tip before he got through for the day. He struck" that point shortly after , o'clock. just as the light was making frantic eff forts to burn.

REMOVED FROM CHAIR
Because of Virulent Anti-Military Ar
 ticles.


 Paris, Dec 14-In the discussion ~;n the chamber of deputies yesterday re- garding the case of the socialist Prof Herve who was removed from the chair of history in the college of Sens because of his virulent anti-military ar- ticles, NJ. Leygues, minister of public instruction, said the superior council on appeal had annulled the previous decision on account of the communica- ton, without the knowledge of the de fense of certain documents unfayora- ble to Mir Nerve to the academic coun- cil of Diion, by which the professor was tried and had retried him.
 NJ. Leygues further said the anti military doctrines which M. Nerve held were incompatible with his posi- tion as a professor at the Lycee and that NJ. Herve was not a fit person 10 instruct the youth in the military glories of France. NJ. Leygues con cluded by asserting that M. Nerve wished to plant the French flag on a manure heap and, demanding his rc- moval, declared that there would be an end to France if many professors initiated NJ. Nerve.
 The minister's remarks were re- ceived with prolonged cheers.
 NJ. Viviani protested against NJ. Leygues's reply, but the chamber voted the simple order of the day, as asked by the minister, by 3S5 to S6.

A cut In Copper.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-After months of uncertainty the Amalgamated Cop per company formally announced yes terday through it's selling agency, the United Metals Selling company, re- duction of nearly 11a cents pound in the price of copper. In the copper trade generally the news came as great surprise and was considered as the first aggressive step in a copper trade war of international proportions. In the stock market the news was received as a definite intimation that the Amalga- mated Copper directors intend reducing their dividend at their next meeting, which occurs on Thursday next Con fusion reigned when the announcement was made.

IMPROVING THE PARK.
Work on Main Drive at the Hamilton
 Progressing Nicely.

Work on Main Drive at the Hamilton
 Progressing Nicely.
 The work of making the main drive in Hamilton park is progressing rapid ly and. unless operations should be suspended for lack of funds or some other cause. in short time one can enter the park near Silver street and drive clear through 1t to the Brass Mill road. Already the road is worked to q point i'll the rear of the spoon shop. Everything in connection with the job moves like clockwork, and the rapidity with which teams are filed and unloaded is marvellous. Just think of it, cart going from the dump to the bank, getting loaded and return in four minutesl Of course the haul where this feat was performed was short, but even so one would think that the cart could not be filled ill such q short time. The surveys were made by Engineer Cairns and the street is being worked under the direction of Superintendent Kelley of the street de- partment. It is just the right time for that class of work. The digging is all sand and gravel. so that the frost has little effect on it, and the men have to hustle if for no other reason but to keep themselves warm. In the warm weather, with the sun beating down in these sand pits. man could not perform half the amount of labor he can at this season. It is q pity the aldermen did not leave the appropria- tion for Hamilton park at S4.000 and let the work be pushed right along while it lasted, and in this way the public might be able to take some pleasure ill strolling through it next summer

POLICE UNEARTH THEFT.
Thousands of Dollars Worth of Silver
 Probably Stolen.


 New Haven, Dec 14.-An alleged theft case which may involve thous- ands of dollars was unearthed yester- day by detectives of the local bureau and Chief Reilly of the Wallinford po- lice.
 Leon E. Grannis. for several years superintendent of the Eagle Spoon company of North Haven and Charles J. Lehr, friend, are under arrest, charged with theft. It is alleged that the two men entered into con- spiracy and have been systematically rObbing the spoon company for num- Der of years.
 The police claim to be in the posses sion of evidence to show that Superin- tendent Grannis took the plated spoons from the factory where he was en- plOyed- turned them over to Lehr who has been selling them here and else where and whacked up. the profits with Grannis.
 While there was no definite way last night of finding out just how much has been stolen. it is believed that the fig ures may reach up to S1O,0O0 or S15.- 900.

Physical culture Is becoming the rage. or should one say the fashion :? It has its charms for the young and fhe old. the weak and the strong, the slim and the stout. 1t makes no dis tInction as to the sexes. Development of the body physically seems to be the purpose of eight out of every ten per sons one meets at the present time. There are various classes in the city where physical culture Is taught to the young women. Then there is Prof Dwyer and his large classes. But by far the greater majority of the de- voices to physical culture received their instruction from a small book which is published every week. It costs 3 cents One can get fair :dea of how the people Is becoming inter- ested In the proper care and develop ment of the body hy calling at any news store and seeing the increased number of sales of this book during the past few months. 4 few things that the convert to physical culture does: He takes cold water bath fec< morning; takes exercises with

WILL CAUSE NO TROUBLE.
CUSTOMS OFFICIALS NOT TO
BOTHER WITH SoLACE.
Commander Winslow and Collector
Stackable Have Come to an Under
standing over Chinese in Crew.

All is quiet along the water front to-
day. The Customs lamb is lying down
by the side of the navy lion and nest
ling it's head in the side whiskers of the
aforesaid lion. Peace has been declar-
ed between Collector of the Port Stack
able and Commander Winslow of the
Solace.
While the Solace is in port Captain
Winslow will have two daily mastering
of his men and keep a careful record of
all the Chinese members of his crew.
Should any of the Chinese be found
missing he will promptly notify Collec-
tor Stackable. When the vessel leaves
port the commander must moreover,
notify the Collector that she departs
with a full complement of Chinese.
The conflict of the customs and navy
authorities when the Solace stopped
here on a recent trip is well known. 1t
was the subject of much notoriety and
formed the subject of official correspon-
dence between Mr.. Stackable and the
departments at Washington. AS the
result of the rulings by the navy de-
partment the Solace will have to muster
her crew twice a day and the Collector
must be notified if any of them escape.
Commander Winslow sent a little
sweet scented note to the Collector
this morning stating that there were no
Chinese aboard who had not been en-
listed in American ports. The seamen
will be permitted to come ashore As
the result of the amicable understand
ing which has been reached between
the two departments, via way of Wash
ington, d. c., Collector Stackable will
not bother his head to any great extent
over the Solace and her Chinese and
will keep only the force to watch her
that is usually assigned to any other
vessel from the Coast.

TROOPS OUTSIDE THE WALL
THE FRANCO-GERMAN PUNITIVE
EXPEDITION.
Prince Tuan and General Tung Flu
Hsiang Said to Have been Negotiating
With Observation-Disclosures.

PEKING, April 19.-In consequence
of strong representations to the Chinese
Government an imperial decree, dated
April 18th, has been issued ordering the
Chinese troops at Howai-Lu to immedi-
ately remove outside the great wall.
The Chinese troops whose withdrawal
outside of the great wall has been or
dered by imperial decree are understood
to be the force which a German and
French expedition was preparing to at
tack. Howai-Lu has been located in
the cable dispatches as southwest of
Pao Ting Flu. The Chinese occupied a
position within the limits OF territory
which the military representatives of
the powers had decreed as being under
their protection.
LONDON, April ia dispatch from
Paris says that in consequence of the
imperial decree ordering the Chinese
troops to leave the territory considered
under the protection of the allied forces
the Franco o-German expedition has
been abandoned. France will shortly
withdraw 10000 troops from China.
LONDON, April 19.-The Deaily News
publishes the following from it's Shang-
hal correspondent: II learn that Prince
Tuan and General Tung Flu Hsiang last
January sent a deputation to the Rus
slams in the vicinity of Lake Baikal
praying for aid and protection, and
declaring their readiness to acknowl-
edge the suzerainty of Russia If the
Russians would help their project for
reconquering the northern province OF
China.
1T is expected that the palace fire
will give the Empress Dowager another
excuse for delaying the return of the
court to Peking."
Some of the London papers publish q
statement that Russia has offered to
reduce her indemnity claim to 100000 0O(
on condition that China signs the Man
/ churian convention and grants further
| concessions in connection with the
I Siberian railway.
Russia has made new and specific
/ proposals to Japan" says the Yoko-
| hama correspondent of the Daily Mail
/ for a mutual understanding, but Japar
| gives no sign of acceptance"
