against a western railroad company
the father of two children who had
been run over in Rocks county. Kan
sas, recently placed two dummy fig
ures on the railway track at the
point where the fatality occurred and
awaited the arrival OF an express
train. His experiment nearly caused
the loss of another life, for the fire
man OF the express saw what he sup
posed to be an obstruction on the
track as the train approached at a
speed of forty miles an hour and at
tempted to jump from the cab. The
cool headed engineer seized him in
the nick of time and held him until
the train had passed over the dunn

Where Greek Is Not Spoken.

A very curious occurrence is report
ed from a village only twelve miles
away from Athens, writes a CORES
pondent. A schoolmistress who was
recently appointed to the village of
Salesi, on assuming her duties. dscOv-
cred that her pupils could not under
stand a single word of Greek. which
was also a foreign language to their
parents. The one language thsy spoke
was Albanian. She Immediately tele-
graphed how matters stood to the min
istry, who sent an Interpreter to her
rescue. 1t is a common thing for the
villagers of the Greek mainland to
employ Albanian as their chief Ian
guage, but this is the first and only
instance where the Greek language is
not spoken or understood at all in a
place so near the capital

A HEALTHY VOICE.

A strong sweet, beautiful voice is
greatly 10 be desired By every one,
says Health. In some climates, like
llaiy, for instance, the voices are al
most al fine. IN other places where
it IS cold and moist the voices are too
often bad. In the country, where the
young grow up in an OUt-of-dOOr life,
where they can "nOller" and even
yell" the voices are much better and
stronger than in the city, where a
young person must suppress himself
and always speak II gertle tones.
Thin. thrOaty tones, or those with
nasal intOnatiOn are bad enough to
the sensitive ear when used in the key
c. ordinary conversation. When it is
needed to expand such voices TO the
decl2matory point. then lack OF vol

full practice may do much to correct
faults Of emphasis and infection. but
the most sanguine coach will not un-
dertake to make over poor voice in
course of three or even six weeks
rehearsals. The possibilities of the

it is a wise plan to cultivate in their
children an agreeable voice Instruct

quiste mechanism and wonderful ca

are springing up on every side. 1t can
not be long before it will be a positive
reprOach for a woman of education at
least to speak in shrill, nasal or un-
placed tones. The voice is mirror of
the mind. A coarse, harsh, disagree

HEAVY TRAVEL TO CRAWFORD.
Improvements in the Service and Along
 the Line.

1 Improvements in the Service and Along the Line.
 The regular patronage and the pleas ure riding on the Branford trolley line have become so heavy that it has been found necessary to build a new turnout just east of East Haven green so that cars may pass at the foot of New Lane instead of at the gresn. This will save several minutes in the long run to the next twelve minute turnout on the west side of Branford harbor.
 Another improvement demanded by the heavy travel is the location of sta tions or regular stopping places through Short Beach, so as to reduce the total number of stops and permit the cars to maintain regular schedule. Signs will be erected on certain poles to indicate stopping places.
 During the past week additional feed CTS have been run to connect the old and the new power house, and as soon as the double e-tracking to East Haven is finished the Branford line will be in position to double it's carrying capac- ity. Open cars were run as double headers with the big vestibuled cars yesterday. The big cars are very pop ular and are quite as comfortable as the open cars when the windows are lowered. Indeed, for such high speed as is made on the private roadbed along the water front of the Branford line, the closed cars with windows low cred are actually safer and more com fortab,e

People Already Floc1ing to That Pleas
 ure Resort
 The fine weather yesterday attracted a large crowd to Savin Rock. The Win chester Avenue Railroad company cas- ily handled the large travel. Cars ran every two minutes from the green, also by the Congress avenue route, and a ffteen-teen minute service from the railroad station, to accommodate the Howard avenue, City Point Kimberly avenue and West Haven patrons, The elegant new summer cars, seating nine ty people, are the acme of perfection, and the railroad company is to be con gratula ted on the splendid way it took care of the visitors to the shore Every nook and corner of the place was in spected by the people, and wonder was expressed on the improved condition of the grounds and nothing but praise be- slowed on the railroad company for it's lavish expenditure of money. Every building on the ground is practically new, and in few days they will be all ready for the summer trade.
 Aside from the buildings, the electric fountain will be one of the attractions. An immense flower bed is being built around it and outside of this a concrete walk ten feet wide. New color and electrical effects have been added, giv- ing to the summer pilgrim glimpse of Fairyland.
 These are but a few of the changes one will see at the Rock, and the rail- road company intends to give the peo- pie run for their money this season.

Drank Carbolic Acid Because He Could
 Not Obtain Employment.
 John Dennehy. aged about forty years, committed suicide Saturday af- ternoon at Lighthouse Point, near the hotel managed by William Butler He had been calling on Butler, and spent some time with the latter lamenting his misfortunes and failure to secure employment. He told Butler that he had not lived with his family in Wal lace street for some time, and hinted that he would commit suicide. Den nehy was asked if he would like to watch baseball game, which was be- ing played on the open meadow oppo- site the hotel. He was directed to a clump of trees from beneath which he was able to watch the game.
 Later at 4:50 o'clock some boys of the Winchester avenue school, who were spending the day at the Point on a school picnic. found the mans dead body lying beneath the trees. They in- formed Mir Butler, who hurried to the spot and found that the body was that of Dennehy.
 Beside him was found a two-ounce bottle of carbolic acid. Dr. Bartlett, the medical examiner, was summoned. That official gave permission for the removal of the remains to the under taking rooms of Sisk Brothers in Grand avenue. The family of the suicide will took charge of the burial, which was held yesterday.
 Dennehy lived in Grand avenue. He was until some time ago employed at the New Haven Clock company's shops He had been out of work for, some time.

POII'S THEATER CLOSES.

After a most successful season Polf S theater closed Saturday night. The past season has witness a steady i'm provement in the grade of entertain ment, for vaudeville is constantly im- proving and Manager Poli always se- cures the best there is. The bookings since the houes opened on September 1 have contained the best featurs that appeared in the New York and Boston theaters. A noteworthy period of the season was the White Rat strike, dur ing which this theater was one of the very few in the east that was not af- fected, because Manager Poli is not a member of any theatrical syndicate. As an independent manager working in friendly relations with the talent and the managers of the best houses, he pursued a conservative middle course during that trying time and was al- ways able to give his show without curtailment or disappointments
 Another incident of this season was the firemen's benefit concert success fully launched and conducted by Man ager Poli, which resulted in adding upwards of $3 300 to the benefit fund,
 The theater will be opened on Labor day, and during the closed season new scenery and fittings will be installed.

NEW ELECTRIC LAMP,
State Capitol First Public Building
 Lighted hy NarnSt

State Capitol First Public Building Lighted by Nernst.
 | The state capitol of Connecticut will
 probably be the first public building in
 the world to be lighted with the Nernst electric lamp. This lamp is an ideal illuminator for committee room or a
 large office. It can be made to give one, two, three, four, or five-hundred
 candle-power, as may be desired. The
 lamp is considerably smaller than an arc lamp, and the little globe which
 which covers the filaments at the bot tom of the lamp is no bigger than good-sized teacup. The Nernst lamp is very much neaterin appearance than any cluster of incandescents, and 1t has an endurance of 700hours There are a few Nernst lamps in Hartford, but they are not yet onpublic exhibition. The American rights to this beautiful electric light are the property of George Westinghouse, who is now in Europe, and has not yet completed his arrangements for putting the Nernst lamp on the market. At present the Nernst lamp can be used only with the alternating current, but it is expected that it will soon be adapted to the di- rect current. When the current is first turned on to the lamp a dull red ap- pears through the globe. This grad ually increases and denotes that the filaments are approaching an incandes- cent condition. Suddenly at the end of 30 seconds, the full light appears, sup planting the red glow. When the fila ments have become hot enough to give forth light the automatic operation of the lamp shuts off the current from the heater. The time required for the lamp to become luminant is so short as not to become any real disadvantage in the use of 1t.
