Migration of Criminals.

"Only well-to-do persons and erim- finals migrate with the seasons" said an old detective recently, land the cause of the latteEgoing is on account of the movement of the former. It is a peculiar thing, but fact, that thieves and other criminals spend the summer in fashionable resorts where the rich collect. When warm weather starts this class of criminals begins to leave the city, and may be found scat tered along the seashore. While a great many robberies have been re- ported around the city, there would have been more had the new commu- tation law taken effect last winter. The greater number of criminals re- leased from the eastern penitentiary have left the city. There is nothing here for them except to break into va cant houses. This is not very profit able, and there is big risk. They pre- fer to go with the crowd. Wait until cool weather comes and see if there is not an increase in arrests. ."-Philadel- phia Times.

NEARLY 500 PASSENGERS.
With Half Million of Treasure. Ar
 rived from Nome.

rived from Nome.
 Port Townsend. Wash, Sept 27.- The steamer Senator has arrived from Nome with nearly 800 passengers and over half a million in treasure. The Senator experienced good weather un- til a point 200 miles off the Vancouver coast. when she encountered a terrific gale which lasted several hours. 4 minor accident occurred to her machin- cry and while repairs were being made the steamer rolled fearfully, she having no freight or ballast.
 The Senator sailed from Nome Sep tember 15. Out of a large number of passengers on the Senator not one of them brought out, it is said, as much money as he took with him. All speak in high terms of the country as a mining section. but say that the laws are such that it will be years be fore the country will open up. Thay say that not one new claim has been opened in the vicinity of Nome this season, for the reason that when pros pectOrs find pay diggings some one comes along and claims it by right of prior location, and it is then tied up in court.
 The largest nugget ever found in :he north was taken out of Anvil creek September r. It weighs ninety-seyen ounces and is valued at S1 ,552.
 4 rich strike is reported at the head of Grouse Gulch. The claim was bonded for $J0.OO0 and the bond had lapsetf but q few days before the strike was made.
 Sick and indigent people at Nome have been reported in such large num- bers that the question of what shall be done with them is a grave one This year there is no government transport on which they can be sent south, as was the case last year. and the outlook for them is exceedingly gloomy. The hospitals are taxed to their utmost capacity. and the sick and distressed are clamOring for admission. Just before the Senator sailed a mass meeting was to be called for the pur- pose of raising money to send the in digent out on the last boat.
 News comes from Dutch harbOr to the effect that the killing of seals on St PauIs and St Georges Islands have caused the seals to look for new quar- fers- A Japanese schooner found a new rookery in the Aleutian group on an island called Douldyr and made a raid on it. killing most of the seals. Probably 2.500 carcasses were found there by Captain Peterson of the schooner Challenger. who reported it to the cutter Manning. The Manning started out looking for the seal poacil- CTS. but failed to find them. She picked up a boat with three Japanese sealers who had been lost and took them to Unalaska and turned them over to the United States authorities.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL.
Manager Cook will Attend the Meet

Manager Cook Will Attend the Meet
 ing in New Haven Tomorrow. W. B. Roberts and Wheeler of Trim ity went to Springfield Monday to con- suit with the manager and captain of the High school football team, con- cerning the withdrawal of the team from the Trinity League. Very little could be learned from them and no req sons were given for leaving the league, but they promised to hold meeting and reconsider the matter. Later the following letter was received from them by Wheeler:-
 Dear Sir:-We hereby notify you that Springfield High School with draws from the Trinity League owing to the poor condition of the team. The matter was reconsidered, as suggested by you, but we could arrive at no diff ferent conclusion than that which we formerly wrote you. We then sug- gested game with Hartford, but we now think it best to withdraw entirely.
 Yours truly,
 Manager s. H. S. Football Team.
 The Yale League, of which Hartford High was a member two years ago, also shows signs of breaking up. Hill house High of New Haven, who has won the cup twice, and only needs one more victory for complete possession, has made no attempt, so far, to organ ize a team, as no captain or manager was elected last fall.
 At the local High school there has not been the least rumor that the Yale League would break up this year. Of course the absence of Hartford is greatly felt The Hartford team was the stronghold of the league, but the league still lived after the withdrawal of Hartford. If the local writer is not mistaken, HiIlhouse has already organ i ized it's team. Whittlesey is captain and Dibblee is delegate to the meetings of the Yale League As to the local High boys. who have placed on the gridiron the best High school eleven in 1 the state during the past two years they have been practising for two weeks and intend to win the Yale cup for the third and last time this sea son. Manager Cook of the local eleven has received notice that q meeting ot | the Interscholastic Football League l will be held in New Haven tomorrow j at 2S1 Lawrence Hall. Manager Cook will attend the meeting as delegate from this city. The local High school will play their first game i'll this city on October ,. The Bristol High school will be their opponents.

YALE BICENTENNIAL.
Accommodations for All Graduates
 Large Delegations Going.

Accommodations for All Graduates
 Large Delegations Going.
 Arrangements are being rapidly com pleted for the handling of the large numbers who will seek admission at the various exercises of the Yale bi- centennial celebration. Every gradu- ate of the university will receive a badge on registering at the university library and this badge will admit him to any of the exercises without the use of any other ticket. Similar badges will be given lon registration at the library) to all those who have received official invitations. Among these are the city officials, who will represent the city of New Haven and will have the same privileges as graduates throughout the celebration. Registra- tion will begin October 19, and badges should be secured promptly.
 An effort is also being made to make the reunion and organization of the different classes as easy as possible. and for this purpose rooms will be set apart in Osborn hall for class head. quarters. One of the interesting fea- lures of the celebration, especially of the torchlight procession, will be the delegations of students from four col leges and universities with which Yale has had close relations, Harvard, Princeton. Wesleyan and Trinity, each of which will send a delegation of 9 undergraduates. These will march in the great parade with sashes and OK ford caps of their respective colors.
 The committee on accommodations expects to be able to accommodate all corners, and no graduate need refrain from attending for fear of finding no quarters when he arrives. Arrange ments for special rates on the rail- roads have been made with the chief eastern passenger associations. the New England. the Trunk line and the Central. These associations, which cover the territory as far west as Chi cago and St Louis. and as far south as Washington, have granted two-thirds rates under the certificate plan It is expected that similar arrangements will be made at once with all the oth- CT passenger associations.

Literal Coin Hunting.

One of the most curious of the many curious trades of Paris is that of the coin hunter. Many coins must, of course, be dropped by inadvertence each day in a big city like Paris, and the business of the ''filonneur," or coin hunter, is to find as many of them as he can. Sometimes, according to the confession of one of them, these poor creatures pick up as much as three francs day, but their average talk ings amount to one franc 50 centimes. Wretched looking creatures they are as they walk in Indian file, with their eyes fixed on the ground, and they say that their trade is a very tiring one.- London Lady's Pictorial.

SHOE MERCHANTS ACTIVE.
Trying to Indue All Dealers to Close
 on Specified Nights.


 Editor of Democrat-The Beehive of early closing has stirred again, for at q meeting recently held by the Wa terbury shoe merchants, committee was appointed, consisting of H. c. Dodge. B. HolcZer, s. Hirsch and J. Grant to wait upon the few shoe stores who are believers in the ancient idea that store must be open IS hours every day in order to pay for itself. The committee. however, met with fair success and hopes that within a short time the entire city, and not part of it, will close Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evenings at o'clock.
 Hoping certainly to receive support of the public in general and the friends of labor and short hours in particular. So far the experiment. by those mer- chants who are closing four nights a week for the past year has been very satisfactory. 1t gives not only the clerks a chance for rest, but it saves expense.
 Also, the public benefits by it, since less store expense enables the mer- chants to sell at a lower margin of profit. And the early closing system is one of the economies of the 20th cen tury and is here to stay.
 The following stores were visited last evening and promised to comply with the request of the committee: Bren- ner. on North Main Square; Judalovitz x Weinstein, of Brooklyn. The pro- prietor of q small store on East Main, near Spring street. received the com mittee in a rather hostile attitude, but it is hoped, when this gentleman will be enlightened. that it is for his own benefit to be a man among men and that this committee is backed by the clerks and 5000 labor men and thou sands of sympathiZers.
 He will no doubt shortly change his idea for the better.

POLITICAL POINTERS
The Democratic Primaries are Being

 First voting district-A booth on the west side of Phoenix avenue.

 Third voting district-City court room, City halI-
 Fourth voting district-A booth on the northerIy side of Grand street, be- tween Canal and South Main streets.
 Fifth voting district-A booth near the corner of Brook and Scoyill streets.
 It is desired that as many as can spare the time vote between the hours of and 6 o'clock, and leave the even- ing for people who have to work until 6. Any person who is in general sym thy with the principles of the demo- cratic party is entitled to vote at the primaries, in the district where he vot- ed or was entitled to vote at the octo- Der election of 1900.

 Any democrat heard on the streets tomorrow claiming that the van- quished did not have a fair show should be put in q carriage and sent home. The whole matter has been thoroughly aired during the past few weeks so that people will go to the booths with q full knowledge of the situation, and it is not It all likely that any one will attempt to prevent them from voting tie ticket of their choice. When they are counted and the winning men named. let us hear no talk about the men who didn't get there not having q square deal.

that which comes from the heavens?
That much can be done to reclaim
large tracts Of lands contiguous to or
lying between rivers or creeks is true,
but there are some things that cannot
be done By the government on other hui
man agencies. Might as well wait for
the millennium as for the government TO
reclaim and make farming lands out of
the high benches in Montana. In the
meantime the desert land act and indi-
vidual effort is doing much to advance
the material and all other interests Of
the state.
Water on the land is all right, but
there is a difference between that and
water on the brain. Let the desert land
act alone until you have something
better 10 offer.

A guide and hunter of Teton county
finds fault with the nonresident license
requirement Of the new game law and
also with the clauses prohibiting the
shooting Of mountain sheep and ante
lope. II these are the only features of
the law to find fault with it must be a
pretty good law. II the license fee was
large enough to be prohibitiye 81 far as
non-residents are concerncdit wouldn't
be a bad thing. The money such par
ties would leave in Montana is Of small
cencern compared 10 the preservation
of our noble game for our own people.
There nre many men in this state who
greatly enjoy sporting but are at pres.
eat too busily engrossed in business to
give any time in that direction. Jut
who live in hopes Of taking outings lor
game. As Montana grows older the
number win increase and, naturally.
they would like to and something when
they hunt. If nonresident sportsmen
have got the time and wealth TO devote
to hunting they can well afford TO pay
the license fee. Without the law pro-
tecting antelope and big horn for a few
years these animals would soon become
extinct. Give them a little chance to
breed and we will have them with us
for many years to come. There are now
quite a number of large bands Of the
latter in Fergus county. May their
number never grow less.
