VALE NATIONAL BANK.

General E. S. Greeley, vice president
of the Yale National bank, when inter-
viewed last evening in regard to the
varied reports concerning the coming
election of a president Of the bank to
succeed General S. e. Merwin, said: The
election of a new president to succeed
General Merwin takes place on the Sec
ond Tuesday in January. General Mer-
win is still president of the bank, his
resignation not taking effect until the
directors meeting in January, and l
have not been practically doing all the
work of the president, as has been as
serted, have simply been helper to
General Merwin in my position as vice
president of the bank. The mapping
out o. what is to occur at the election
in January o.. what Is to occur then
or a year hence is purely a matter of
conjecture. We have added to our board
of directors John T. Manson, a promi-
nent New Haven business man, who
was elected last week to fill vacancy
in the board. That fact can be safely
stated What is to be done in the flu
ture I cannot tell. General Greeley
said that was all that could be correct
Nv announced on the subject.
Mr.. Manson. who has been added to
the banks board, has been connected
with the wholesale firm of Benedict &c
Downs practically ever since he began
his business career. He stands very
high in the business world and made an
enviable reputation as man of affairs
much younger than men ordinarily do.
, Mr.. Manson has been a member of the
board of education, but has not striven
for positions in public life.
Besides being a partner in the firm of
Benedict &. Downs he is largely inter-
ested in trolley roads and is director
in several as well as president of Mil
ford and Uxbridge road of Massachu-
sets, formerly known as the Milford
HOLSTER and birmingham road. He is
a large stakeholder in this company.
Mr.. Manson is the son of Captain
Magnus Manson, who is also connected
| with the firm of Benedict & Wowns.

THE CANDOR OF PEPYs.

No man has ever yet succeeded in
painting an honest portrait of himself
in an autobiography, however sedulous-
ly he may have set to work about it.
In Spite of his candid purpose he omits
necessary touches and adds superfiu-
Gus ones At times he cannot help
draping his thought, and the least
shred of drapery DISCUSSES it. 1t is only
the diarist who accomplishes the feat
Of portraiture, and he, without any
such end in view, does it unconsciously.
A man cannot keep daily record of
his comings and doings and the little
items that make UP the sum of his life,
and not inadvertently give himself
away at every turn. He lays bare his
heart with candor not possible to the
self-consciousness that inevita bly, COL
ors premeditated revelation Unknow-
ingly he wears his heart upon his pen
for days to peck at. While Mr.. Samu-
ell Pepys was filling those small octave
pages with his perpleXing cipher he
never once imagined that he was add
ing Photographic portrait of himself
to the worlds gallery Of immortals.
We are more intimately acquainted
with Mr.. Samuel Pepys, the inner man
his little meannesses and his generos-
ities-than we are with half the per-
sons we call our dear friends.-T. B.
Aldrich in the December Atlantic.

PALMER'S MISTAKE, AND
FRENCH'S.

Miss Marlowe was brought to this
country when a mere infant in arms,
and it Is the American stage with
which she is identified. Few who have
heard of her are ignorant of the cir
cumstances of her first triumph in New
York-her trial matinee at the Bijou
Theater about fifteen years ago, when
she delighted the critics as Parthenia
in "Ingomar."
But the struggles that preceded her
first hearing have not been revealed to
all her admirers. From manager to
manager she went, seeking the oppor-.
tunity to appear in part she consid-
cred suited her. She persisted in her
plan to play in the classics, however,
and she would not listen to the lures of
shrewd directors who thought they
would be wise to obtain a pretty Wo-
man for their stock companies. A. M.
Palmer was among those who recog-
nized her ability, but declined to risk
blank verse production for her; yet in
years after he was as sorry as his COM
petitors that he had not made the ven-
ture. To T. Henry French she cited
the case of Mary Anderson, who was
then the toast of all London. Whereat
that impresario-then possessed of in
f1uence and a ollowing-laughed, de-
spite a vigorous trial to conceal his
amusement out of politeness. my
dear Young woman" he said to Miss
MarloWe in reference to Miss Anderson,
that sort of thing happens once in a
generation. So long as you fancy
yourself a second Mary Anderson you
will accomplish nothing" A twelve
month subsequent to that interview
Mr.. French was one of a multitude ap-
plauding Miss Marlowe enthusiastically
at Hermann's Theater, Philadelphia.
Addressing a friend of Miss Marlowe's,
he lamented: Heaven forgive me- but
this is the child refused to talk seri-
ously with less than year past. -

Music Preesdes tho address.
At the Young Mems Christian assoc
citation meeting yesterday afternoon the
music by the New Haven Orchestral
club was special feature. The orches-
ira under the able leadership of Pro-
fessor Haesche are doing good work.
During the service they played the
Bridal Rose overture Kronung's March
and Cantique de Noel. J. C. Benham
conducted a short praise service, E. T.
Bates, state secretary, led in prayer,
and DR.. Milton E. Phillips delivered the
address on the subject "At the Parting
Of the Ways" It was a grand effort
and set the young men present thinking
about some important matters concern
ing life. The doctor had been at the
county Jail in the morning to address
the prisoners there. AS he looked into
the faces Of the men there he said to
himself that there was some time in the
lives of each man when he came to the
cross roads and had to choose which
way to take Before each there are two
pathways, one downwards, the other
up. We have chosen the one that makes
us stronger or Weakens u.s. Every time
we turn to the right and climb we are
made stronger. When we turn to the
LETT and drift we grow weaker. Every
moment we have lived has added unto
our strength or our weakness. Where
are your ways leading your" asked the
speaker. Where are the partings in
your life? Does the course you are pur-
suing bring to you satisfaction or re-
morse? Are you turning to the right
or the LEFT. Am blocking the way Of
progress or am encouraging progress
ana adding to the sum Of good In the
world. Sin is the source Of ruin, but
righteousness exalteth a nation. Here
are young men who have exalted ideals.

ser yourselves about it,

Is Missing-Pol Are on the Lookout
for Him.
The police in several cities in this
state has been requested to keep sharp
lookout for George T. Long, a sixteen
year-old boy, who disappeared from his
home in Derby about six months ago.
Since he ran away Long has fallen
heir to the sum of $4,000, bequeathed
him by his grandmother, and his rel
atives and other beneficiaries are anx-
ious that he should be found. The es-
tate is held in trust and cannot be di-
vided among the legatees until young
Long is found. He was seen by a
friend in Waterbury recently, but it. is
believed now that he has decamped for
parts unknown. Long is only sixteen

years older. He is five feet seven inches
tall and weighs about 10 pounds. He
