Like Father. Unlike Son.

The Lancet, the we'll known English
medical weekly, has been inquiring, i'll
to the question of the transmission of
genius from father to son and has
found that the sons of great poets are
generally dull dogs. Poetic fervor is
evidently a spiritual flame that burns
itself out in the generation wherein it
is kindled. Indeed it often seems to
burn out the very aptitude for pater-
nifty, or is it that the poet is generally
too poor to permit himself the delight
Of fathcrhnod: However it may be,
many eminent English poets can never
be accused of having dull dogs" of
sons because they never had any sons
at all. Cowley, Butler, Otway, Prior,
Congreve, Gay, Phillips, Savage.
Thomson, Collins, Shenstone, Akenside,
Goldsmith, Cray, johnson and Keats
all died without leaving offspring, ami
Pope, Swift, Watts and Cowper were
never married. Dryden's, AddisOn's
and Parnell's descendants did not pass
into the second generation, and the
descendants of Shakespeare and Mil
ton became extinct i'll the second and
third generations. Sir Walter SCOTS

There wasn't doubt in the mind of

FRILLS OF FASHION.

Real lace scarfs with matching wells
are seen on some of the broad French
picture hats.
Among the pretty and serviceable
summer dresses are those of dark blue
swiss muslin dotted with white and
made up over white batiste or tatfeta.
The fat sailor of rough white straw
with a wide crown completely covered
with flowers of the small varieties is a
novelty. Lace is draped about the
brim.
Louisine silks and silk and satin fou.
lards are still greatly in favor as fab
RIGS for dressy wear, and rows of lace
or velvet ribbon and tucking In every
form are the usual finish for gowns of
this sort.
Bodices cut in half low rounding
shape in the neck, with abundant ruff
fies Of lace or chiffon at the edges of
the elbow sleeves, are feature of
many of the latest gowns for midsum-
mer wear.
The hip yoke of lace, insertion or

is one Of the French fancies of trans
parent evening gowns. and it is quite
evident THAI it is to be carried into the
summer as one of the favored NODES

WHAT HOLDERS ACCOMPLISH

If we were to examine a list of the men who have left their mark on the world, we should find, that as rule, it is not composed of those who were brilliant in youth, or who gave great promise at the outset of their careers, but rather of the plodding young men who, if they have not dazzled by their brilliancy, have had the power of days work in them, who could stay by a task until 1t was done; who have had grit, persistence, common sense, and honesty.
 It is the steady exercise of these or dinary, homely virtues, united with average ability, rather than deceptive display of more showy qualities ln youth, that enables q man to achieve greatly and honorable. So, if we were to attempt to make forecast of the successful men of the future, we should not look for them among the ranks of the smart boys, those who think they '.know it all'' and are anW- ious to win by short route.--O.

 Fall For One.
 New Haven. June 26.-Absolutely no change has been made with regard to the degrees for Mir Vanderbilt and oth- CT members of the academic class who have failed in the law course or in their other studies. It is an un- doubted fact that MT Vanderbilt and the others will not receive their de- grees to-day.
 It is barely possible that MT Van- derbilt will receive his degree at some later date.
 AS a punishment for breaches of dis cipline the faculty has been known to hold degrees up until the fall after a mans class graduates. Occasionally class at it's triennial reunion peti- tlons the faculty to givesa man his de- grees. but they usually have something tangible in the way of notable work done by the man after graduation to base their appeal on Mir Vanderbilt might also take the examinations he has failed in eser again next spring, and SO receive his degree, but as Mir Vanderbilt is said to have failed in other courses besides the law course ouch action Is hardly probable.

POLICEMAN KELLY HELD.
The New Haven Officer Charged With
 Stealing from Cigar Store.

GIedlllS lIOA Al5d1 olOA
 New Haven, June 26.-Policeman John Kelly of the Grand avenue pre- cinct was bound over to the superior court for trial on charge of burglary yesterday by Judge Carroll of Bridge port, sitting in the city court. The re suit of the four days hearing was genuine surprise to every person not intimately concerned in the prosecu tion, and the expressions of surprise given when the court announced prob able cause were continued to-day. Bonds were fixed at $500, and the same bond given at the time of the ar rest was continued.
 The alleged offense, the state claims, was committed on the mornings of May 9 and B. when the policeman in uni- form is claimed to have entered the barber shop of Ralph PastOre, at 94 Grand avenue. and taken nine cigars. The defense was an alibi. The hear ing was a record breaker in point of rapid testimony, Miss Ely, the stenog grapher. taking an average of nearly thirty words minute The testimony fills S61 pages which is probably the record, and 100 pages a day is consid- cred very unusual, and this trial lasted but four days.
 In the arguments yesterday City At torney Webb laid great stress upon his belief ip the improbability of the claims of the defense that the crime was com mitted by an offender nlasquerading in the uniform of policeman.
