REMARKN BY CROKER.

Richard Croker has been doing a lit- tie talking, and among other things he said this: Amt it funny, this reform CTS talk about opening the saloons on Sunday? The papers are full of it. The preachers, the Fusionists, the whole re- form crowd are for opening the saloons on Sunday and the newspapers haven't word to say against it. Good Lord! Suppose Tammany tried that thing! Suppose Tammany came out for Sun day opening, what an uproar there would be. The newspapers, the pulpts, and the reformers would pound us off the earth The very people who are now calling for Sunday opening would denounce us as the biggest rascals on earth.
 It is funny to see the New York re- formers favoring the opening of the saloons on Sunday, and 1t is true that if Tammany had made such a move there would have been some very sol emn and powerful preaching about it. But we suppose that if Tammany had favored Sunday opening it would have done it to secure more money and more power, while the reformers only do it in the hope of being continued in pow CT. Of course the motive of the reform CTS is so much better than the motive of Tammany that anything they do will be right. If they succeed in their Sun day opening scheme they will deserve the hearty support they will get from those who want to sell and drink strong drink on Sunday.

UNITED s1AYNs DIpLOMaCY


 That was a remarkable speech made by the Secretary of State at the ban quet of the New York Chamber of Commerce last night, and it will be read with great interest in other lands than this, In 1t Secretary Hay clearly set forth the principles which govern United States diplomacy. They are not mysterious or dishonest. Said the Secretary: "The briefest expression of our rule of conduct is, perhaps, the Monroe doctrine and the golden rule. With this simple chart we can hardly go far wrong" We cannot, and we have not gone far wrong yet. We have told the truth, and shamed that diplomacy which has not been based on telling. We shall probably con- tinue to prosper in diplomacy as long a$swe continue to tell the truth, have clear ideas O. what we want. act reas- onably with others, and remain pre- pared to back up our ultimatums Great is the United States and great is it's diplomacy

JAM MES MUL FORD 1OWNSEND.

The long. active and useful life of
 James Mulford Townsend came to its end last night. MT. Townsend had fill ed large place in the social, business and public affairs of his birthplace, his State and his country. He was alert enterprising and able. He was also public-spirited, philanthropic and pat riotic. During his long career he was
 active and influential in many enter
 prises that had to do with the progress and the development of the country.
 He was always a staunch and generous supporter of sound public and political principles. He was hearty and eff
 cient friend and advocate of education, and he had keen and discriminating appreciation of that which is good in literature and art. His interest in mill itary affairs was deep and lifelong, and his memory will be especially honored by the members of the military organi- zation of which he was at one time the head, and for which he did so much both in war and in peace. He was es- pecially interested in all that concerned New Haven and New Haveners He was genial and friendly toward his fel- low men and much enjoyed mingling with them. He retained much of his strength and activity until his last ill., ness, though he had passed the three score and ten mark several years ago. seen no more moving briskly and cheer fully about the streets of the city he bered and mourned.

MIR. HAYS ENGLISH coAcHMAN

They are telling this story about Sec retary Hay in Washington, which is good enough to be true. He employed an Englishman once to drive his car riage. The first evening the man had
 to drive his master to a White House function, The weather was bitter cold,
 and the coachman joined some of his guild at a tavern near the White
 House grounds, where he became slightly befuddled and 'alf and 'alf and kindred liquors. MT. Hay, as every one knows, lives on H street, opposite La
 fayette square. Lack of acquaintance with the neighborhood, combined with
 the convivialties of the evening, con-
 spired to make the coachman mistake
 the route. Driving up to a large house in l street, he pulled his horses to a
 standstill and announced in his cheery
 British way: "'Ome, sir" The secre-

Jolliest Casket Salesman That Ever Went Over the Line
 New Britain, Nov. 19.--Happy Jack Quinn traveled through this territory for twenty years and because one of the most popular travelling men on the road. Good-natured, jovial, generous, he Was the finest type of the smiling drummer and man with host of friends. In his balmy days he weighed 275 pounds and every ounce of him bubbled over with humor. Happy Jack was a casket salesman for nearly d quarter of century and it is said that in his spare time between telling stories sold more collins than any other man that ever carried a sample spook case. When the news of the death of this jol- y good fellow went over the line from Connecticut to Maine where he was the life of a hundred cities, his sor- rowing friends began to recall the many evenings of the long ago when Happy Jack struck town.

The New Orleans Times Democrat publishes some striking figures showing the rapid advance of Louisiana on the pathway of education. In the year 1884 there was a school enrolment in Loui- siana of Sf,O24 white and colored, the actual attendance at school of both races in that year being 57,349. In the wear 1900 there was a school enrolment of 1s6.337 white and colored, the actual attendance being 19S,612. In other words, there was much more than twice the number of boys and girls at school in 1900 than there was in 1884. These figures are only for public schools.

MORE ABOUJ H4IL SHOOTING


 Though distinguished United States weather sharp has decided that shoot ing hailstorms is a futile and absurd performance they are not quite so sure about 1t in Europe, where there is much of such shooting. The government of Switzerland has been looking into the matter and it's agents have found so much that seems to show that hail storm shooting is effective that they have reported in it's favor. The shoot ing was first systemstized in Styria. From Styria it spread over Hungary, northern Italy and southern France, ten thousand shooting stations now be- ing established in Hungary and Italy alone. Over districts subject to fre- quent hailstorms stations are distribut- ed twelve hundred to eighteen hundred feet apart, one being regarded as equal to the protection of about sixtytwo acres. The gun ordinarily used is vertical one and one-half inch mortar eight to eleven inches long, to which is attached a conical funnel some ten feet in length and projecting above the roof of the station. When a storm ap- breaches an alarm gun is sometimes used to arouse whole district, and the several stations then put their mortars into operation, firing at minute inter-
