Kite for Life-Saving Line,

Capt. Brossard de Gorbigny, of the
French naval reserve, has just invent
ed kite to replace the rocket APP
paratus for establishing communica-
ton between wrecked vessels and the
shore. The kite is collapsible and
can be flown in the toughest weather.
An ingenious arrangement renders it
possible to defect it As degrees from
the direction of the wind. Once over
the spot where the cord is to be
dropped an appliance, consisting of
q sharp-edged ring, is sent along the
kite string and cuts the attachment,
thus causing the cord to fall.

--------------7---- JOY AT ROLLING MILL.
Substantial Increase In Wages to Tax
 Effect Next Week.

{ Substantial Increase In Wages to Take
 Effect Next Week.
 Over one hundred employees in the rolling mill of. the New Haven Iror and Steel company, at the foot of Vol colt street, were highly gratified yes terday by the announcement that the firm would grand substantial increase in wages beginning next week Monday. There are 275 men employed in the mill, and about 100 of them will get the in- crease. The increase is on the sliding scale the amount being from 21a to 10 per cent. and it affects the puddlers and men in the finishing mill.
 Last October, there was a decrease of about 10 per csnt. in the wages and the present increase represents a restora- tion of about one half of the former re- duction. The increase is brought about by an increase of wages among the companies competitors in the Pennsyl- vania mills. The increase in those mills Is on what is known as the 311a per cent. basis on pudding.
 Work has begun at this mill on an enlargement of the works. A new mill is to be built S0x110 feet. for rolling mill. It will take several months to complete this work.

DIR. GREENS GREAT SCORE.
Yale Faculty Beat Sophomore Team IS

to 13 at Golf Yesterday Yesterdays pouring rain was scarcely just the right thing for golf, but never theless the Yale faculty won their sec- ond decisive victory over the sophomore team on the New Haven Golf club links, the final score being: Faculty IS, sophomore 13. The game was played in a heavy downpour, but the interest In the match was unabated. Despite the fact that the greens were full of water Dr. Green of the faculty made a phenomenal score making the first nine holes in 36, record which has but once before been beaten and then by Vardon, the English champion, who made the nine in 35. Dr. Greens total was S1. The next best score was S7, made by Sykes. These two scores, considering the heavy rain were very remarkable.

DRILLS AT ARMORY.

Governors Horse and Foot Guard
 Whipping in Recruits.
 Despite the poor weather there was a good attendance at the state armory last evening, and the drilling was we'll done. The Governors Horse Guard was put through the paces by Lieuten7 ant Hoffman, and he gave his squad a lively series of evolutions. The com pany has appointed committee to de- termine regarding the proposed trip to the Pan-American exposition, but no report was made last evening, the com mittee not being prepared. It is deem- ed altogether likely that the Horse Guard will make the trip during Au- gust.
 The Foot Guard also met and drilled. They are looking forward to a trip to Buffalo in the near future, and are per- fecting themselves in manoevures.

debtedness.

Sunday, May 26, will long be remem- bered by the Methodists of this place.
 Plans had been made for raising the indebtedness, amounting in the aggre-
 gate to $3500, which had been hanging
 years. It was felt that this opening
 year of the twentieth century, when
 vast sums of money are being contrib
 uted for educational and philanthropic
 work, and when churches all over the
 land are shaking off their mortgages,
 and preparing for more effective work
 on a larger scale that the time had
 come for the West Haven Methodist
 chutch to swing into the highway of
 progress. The young men of the off,
 cial board were sanguine and deternin- ed. The weather was threatening, but
 the clouds above and the mud below were unable to press out the enthusiasm of the people. A good congregation as- sembled at 10:30, and listened to an excellent address from Henry II. Bene
 dict, president of the Twentieth Gen. tury Wesleyan league, on "Obllgation,"
 which was full of thought, force and fire. It made a deep impression, and prepared the way for John T. Manson, vice president of the league, who is a prince in the raising of church debts. Under his skillful manipulation success was assured from the beginning. The people made splendid response, and before their self-sacrificing effort $2,- 700 of the thirty years burden melted away at the morning service. This left $500 still to be raised. Notwithstanding the stormy evening large congrega- tion gathered. Brief and appropriate addresses were made by Messrs. Man son, Tower, McEwen, and Moorhead, after which the work of the morning was resumed and at 9:15 o'clock every dollar was pledged, besides little sur plus to provide for possible shrinkage. The organizations in the church and several classes in the Sunday school as- sumed specific sums in addition to the generous pledges of individuals. The whole amount is to be paid in two years and all pledges not paid before the first of January, 1902, are to bear inter- est at per cent from that date Most of the members of the church are working people of limited means, and more princely giving has seldom been witnessed. They believe in God and in their church. and are now inspired to go forward. It is doubtful whether this financial achievement would have been wrought but for the muniflcent of H. IT. Benedict and John T. Manson, who were nobly seconded by F. A. Lane, A. Moorhead and A. T. Tower. The church is enthusiastic at the beginning of the conference year, and with all departments taking on new life, is looking forward to glorious spiritual results in the near future. The Doxology was sung with old time Methodist fervor, and the benediction by Rev. A. V. R. Abbott brought a day in West Haven Method ism to close.
