..M,nI.ter.s SON. at Theatre.

The Minister'S Son." to be pre-
sented at Harper's theatre tomorrow
evening. comes well recommended,
Mr.. Patton having surrounded him
self with a capable company of play
ers. The setting for the country
homestead of the Rays is particularly
beautiful, n veritable rose bower,
with sturdy oaks overhapging the
humble home, surrounce1 by the
meadow. sweetly scented with the
bloom of clover, with the tall spire of
the parish church rising in tue dis
tance. W., b. Patton's Simon Ray
is work of deep thought, played
with noteworthy skill and theatric-
ally effective. Mr.. Patton makes the
part of Simon Ray a figure of lofty
power. the embodiment of virtue.
His droll humor, with which he in
vests the character, his cutburst of
indignation at his sisters betrayer,
are bold and masterful touches that
stamp him a student of his art.
Every member of this production has
been selected with the utmost care,
and no expense has been spared to
make The Ministers Son" one Of the
seasons successes.

SPORTING NOTES

A game Of football made interesting
by class spirit and an effort to swell
the high school athletic fund was the
one yesterday at the park between
the seniors and juniors of the high
school. The contest was a tie and
both sides are very we'll satisfied at
the outcome, each having been some
what apprehensiVe before the trv-
out. Neither side scored and neither
goal was in very serious danger,
which speaks we'll for the defensive
ability of the respective sides. Both
celebrated in the evening as having
won victory, the juniors being en-
tertained by Miss Elsa Simon.
The Company A basketball team
failed in another attempt last even
ing to take the laurels away from the
Y. M e. A. Crescents at the latter's
gymnasium. The score was 19 to II .
or rather more the Crescents' advan-
tage than the first contest two weeks
ago. The contest was an exceedingly
spirited one. The losers were of
course at some disadvantage bv being

 The facets of the sham stone are then covered with transparent cement and layer of diamond paper laid upon them. When dry, the false jewels veneered with the real dust, are so sim liar to the genuine stones that they are often set in pure gold, for no one but an expert can detect the difference and then only with the aid of a power ful magnifying glass. This is of course, the most expensive artificial gem made, inasmuch as one that has been proper ly veneered cannot be purchased for less than los.
 Thus it will be seen that no small amount of skill is required to make limitations stones, and the workmen in the cutting, polishing and facing-up departments can command high wages. In the first-named, 82 los to e5 per week is the average salary, while those who undertake the delicate task of veneering are by no means too highly remunerated at the rate of from G3 to 96 per week.

A CHEAP OCEAN VOYAGE.

 they cant afford it this year. or they

 lions of persons who can't afford it and

 crowded; the voice of the foghorn is not sweet to hear; there are horrible possibilities for nervous imaglnings, and the capacity of stewards should not be encouraged.

If you take a slow boat, the weather is liable to amuse itself Is there any especial happiness in sleeping in cub by hole? Is knowledge of the game of shuffleboard essential to human fe- licity? For what do people go down to the sea in steamers? Half of them, ap- parently, to walk the deck; the other half to get in the first half's way as much as possible. A man can be as somnolent, placid, vegetable-like and comfortable in a. hammock on land as in a steamer chair on the sea. As? More.

Trade Secrets
 EXPOSED. Fake Advertising. An Insult to the IntflIiqent Purchasing Public of
 New Haven.

Right from the start last fali we gave indications of different methods in business than those in vogue gen. erally. We sold clothing of fine quality at lower prices than ever be- fore attempted in New Haven. This benefited the Purchasing Public. Next, we hit underwear, and never in the history of New Haven was Un- derwear purchased by the people at. Such Money Saving Prices.
 Then came the Overcoats the Trousers-the Boys Clothing-the. Hats-the Negligee Shirts. etc, etc.
 This is all Public History, and people from all over the State and from distant points have purchased Wearing Apparel regularly at our stores since. This benefits New Ha- ven. Of course our methods have possibly hurt a few Retailers who are not up-to-date, who still depend on their Friends" and on their "Blus- ter" in Advertising. We are pleased to state that our worthy competitors in general have treated us in a splen- did business-like manner as becomes Merchants of New Haven, the city of culture, the city of advanced thought, the city of the great seat of learning.
 We take our hats off to these gen. tlemen! Now to the others, and par ticularly one prominent firm, that has continually come before the public with faring announcements about $5 Mems Suits, worth BIO, and that no other firm in New Haven can sell such Suits at less than s10. Now, if these Statements are Facts" this firm could sell Thousand $1O suits for $5 right in the city of Boston to any big Retailer; why, we would be pleased to buy $1O Suits for s5 and save the firm from selling and adver- Using expenses. We now openly, in \ the columns of the newspapers, ad- dress this prominent firm, and not behind their backs, to Customers who visit our Stores, such mthods are puny and unbecoming a Mer- chant. We are not complaining about the Rain-that is a thing of the past, and we are glad of it. Now, a word about those >$5 Suits, worth $1O: We do not advocate $5 Suits at any time, but we will sell at $4S0 Mems Suits that are in every way Superior to the $5 Suits worth $1O," and we will let the best jury in the world render the verdict-the New Haven purchasing public.

VENEERED DIAMONDS.
How the Most Deceptive of Artificia
 Gems Are Made

How the Most Deceptive of Artificial Gems Are Made.
 The demand for jewelry has of late 1t has been found necessary to cope with it by artificial means. Quite re- gently M. Moisson, a French scientist, has discovered how to make real dia- monds out of sugar with the aid of electricity, and other savants have been equally successful with carbon but the stones are small, and do not meet the requirements of the millions which pre- fers large jewels at a low price.
 It is at Clerkenwell that the artificial gem fraternity gather, and more "da- monds' emanate from that prosac neighborhood in the course of the year than from Kimberley although their respective values cannot be compared. Every precious stone is now successful ly initiated, and sold from sixpence to as much as e5, according to size and quality.
 Atifical diamonds have been made for more than hundred years, the process being first discovered by a Ger man named Strass, and the peculiar kind of glass that bears his name eX- actly resembles the diamond when cut. Strass is nothing more than rock crvs- tai to which borax, arsenic, potash and other chemicals have been added. The ingredients when thoroughly pulveriz-

ed and sfted are placed in crucible
 and subjected to enormous heat in a | furnace. The melting occupies from | twenty to thirtyfve hours, and skill | is needed to see that the proper tenn l perature is maintained or the strass comes out cloudy and utterly useless. | At the expiration of that time the l crucible is removed and placed in an other chamber where the heated atmo- sphere is permitted to gradually cool and solidify the mass, which is then ready to be cut as required. Exactly the same process is followed in making emeralds, except that large proportions of fine white sand and green oxide of chrome are melted into the strass. Opals are by far the most difficult stones to initiate; indeed, it is only within the last decade that they have been successfully copied with the aid of electricity and solution of silicates.
 So far the work has been practically easy, but now becomes difficult in the extreme and only the most skillful workmen are engaged in the depart ment through which the strass next passes. The diamonds that are sold for few pence each are merely pieces of white strass cut by machinery and a yellow tint can be detected in them. But the more costly gems, though made of the same material, are subjected to a delicate process known as facing up."
 Every one is aware that when real diamonds are cut quantity of fine dust is given off which is apparently valueless. But lapidaries collect the sweepings from the tables and sell them to the makers of artificial gems at A per pound, who purify them with acid that destroys everything but the pure diamond dust This is mixed with another acid and placed under enor- nous pressure, which results in sheets of diamond dust as thin as paper being

HotO Banks Are Roided.

be of special interest to depositors.
Most banks have a very small capital

posits. This one had. 1t was an old,
conservative institution, well managed
and commanding the confidence of the
business community. Certain gentle
men went on from the west, and by
buying 2,2O0 shares of stock secured
control. Their investment probably
was somewhere between 100000 and
100000. For that amount they OBJ
tanned the absolute control Of $5,O00,-
900.
They turned out the old officers and
put in a new set. BY their invest
ment of less than half a million dol
lars they were enabled to overcertify
checks for single firm to the amount
of $1,600,000 in one day. That is to
say, on that single transaction they

The depositors intrusted their money
to the bank, attracted, perhaps, by the
reputation of its old officers, and these
gentlemen from the west, by contribut-
ing one-tenth the amount OF the de-
posits, became invested with power
