ANOTH FIR CRIS5s.

There has been another crisis at Hartford. There have been so many crises there that one more doesn't make much difference, but it has to be talked about. When the conference commit tee of tWenty-four was appointed last week hope revived in the reforming breast. Yesterday hope got a thump in the solar pleXus, and it seems to be per- manently out Still, we must wait for the end of the count. The committee of tWenty-four reported to the conven- tion yesterday that it had been unable to agree on any plan of representation. It asked to be discharged, and this was generously voted. Then Delegate Os- born of New Haven introduced scheme for a very small allowance of additional representation to the larger places, and this was promptly voted down. S1 to 67 Some other futile moves were made, and then the convention adjourned till next Tuesday flor con-

ANUTH ER BOND.

It is reported that number of gentle-
 manly young toughs in New Haven who have figured in the Police court, and who rejoice in and are proud of their
 ing to form Criminal Club, and have a
 glorious evening in one of the down
 town saloons. At their meeting they
 will eat, drink and be merry over their little crimes and give voice to an ambi- tion to yet be guilty of greater ones It is rumored that the meeting will be honored and enlivened by delegation from the Yale Criminal Club, which has just held a meeting and gone through about the same performance that the Young Toughs' Criminal Club will go through
 The Young Toughs' Criminal Club ex- poets to meet some criticism of it's aims and achievements, but it will not allow that to disturb it. Its members may even be charged with being proud of a record in the Book of Fools as we'll as in the Book of Criminals. In reply to that, if they consider it worth reply ing to, they will point to the Yale Crim- inal Club, and ask if the members of club which will be a close imitation of the Yale Criminal Club can properly be called foolish. Of course there can be but one answer to that question.
 We congratulate both town and gown. With a Yale Criminal Club and 8 Young Toughs' Criminal Club work ing for the same worthy ends there will be one more bond of sympathy between the city and the University.

HOPE ON, HOPE LrER.

It is so pleasant to have castles in
 the air, or in Spain, or anywhere else
 where they are not, that it is a pity to try to disturb the illusions of those who believe that they own such cas- ties. And yet such attempts are occa- sionally made. United States Minister Newel of the Hague reports that very large number of inquiries are received at the legation and at the consulates at Amsterdam and Rotterdam as to various imaginary estates in Holland F. G. Kronk, Anneke Jans, Du Bois, Metzger, Brosius, Fischer, Snyder and others-more than twenty in all. The inquiries come from all parts of the United States. Since 1898, the United States Minister and consuls in Holland have received more than 230 letters from Americans on the subject. The Minister says that he is authorized by the authorities at the Hague to state that there are not only no such es- tates awaiting distribution, but that there never have been any such es- tates; and one official is sure, from the nature of things and the Dutch laws, that there never will be any such es- tates.
 Of course this wont make much diff ference with those who know that they have castles in Holland, and it ought not to- Hope on, hope ever is their motto, and they don't allow such facts as Minister Newel presents to depress them

The George H. Ford Company will discontinue its auction sale at
 the close of the week, yesterday be- ing the last of the general sale
 As closing feature to which many are looking with interest, MT. French, who has so ably conducted the auction, has been instructed to auction sale of the rarest works of art in the store, the catalogued ar ticles that are known to be of ex- ceptional value and interest. This sale ought to attract connoisseurs throughout the State, for it cer- tainly is an opportunity, never be- fore equalled here, to obtain own ership of old china, antique furni- ture, rare old books, real bronzes, etc, and also the fine old paintings by artists, of renow of the 18th, 17th, 18th and 18th centuries,
 These paintings are in every in- stance authentic and theirs history Ndl bt dSttl llolll lIt Cdld" logue that will be distributed to visitors.
 To many in this city no word is necessary to describe the collection of art, for 1t is known to them, and the company feels confident that the more familiar one is with the works, the better their rare, and exceptional character and value will he appreciated.
 These works of art represent per sonal selections made during 32 years of extensive travel, and be- yond doubt they comprise the most valuable and best selected collec- tion in the state.
 These special art sales will be held at the usual auction hours on Friday and Saturday, 10:30 to 12;30; 2:30 to 5,S0.s

A Little Visit With My Ants.

i To the Editor of the Journal and Courier | When I meandered forth twenty min
 utes ago with the laudable purpose of picking violets I little suspected what traps lay in wait for my unwary eyes | Seductive traps they were, too, for I am still sitting in the hot sun amidst a veritable colony of black ants, and have just paused to whisk off half a dozen who seemed to find my dress tempt ing baseball ground.
 After gathering the violets my wan
 dering gaze was caught by two stalwart ants tugging the fat gray form of de- funct miller, and as one of them soon dropped his burden and departed I felt interested in the other and carefully
 watched his slow and toisome progress backward across some four feet of
 grassy yard to the colony. He encoun-
 tered many friends, who spoke and
 passed on and also several enemies
 from whom he fled with frantic strug-
 gles of his overburdened legs Why
 does an ant loaded with provender and
 in hurry to get home. climb entirely
 to the top of tall grass blades, when
 the ground-Ho route would be not
 only quicker, but evidently easier? Is
 it that from some such elevation he can
 spy out the land and descry any ap-
 preaching foe? Truly there is some
 reason, but what it is I wot not.
 After l had seen my ant deposit his
 bug safely inside his own front door
 desire to see more was strong upon me,
 and, taking the violets to the house, I procured cracker crumbs with which to start operations and returned to the scene of action, Then, indeed the sport
 began for l dropped crumbs near the doors of many houses, in the paths of hurrying ants and even--I blush to ad- init it-clogged up an entire entrance with particularly large crumh. Even this did not daunt the toiers who are so highly spoken of in Proverbs, for although none could come out of that door, they seemed to have some means of communicating with outsiders. and soon three sturdy ants rushed up and by much force and many jerks succeed ed in releasing those imprisoned inside. Then came the struggle to make that crumb their own, and, to my great as- this was finally accom- plished by twisting and turning In every conceivable way.
 The best way to see real activity is by sprinkling very fine crumbs thicky around each front yard and noticing the frenzied manner in which the ants at tack several pieces at once. They real ly seem to lose their heads, probably with fear lest such windfalls shall dis appear ere they are gathered in. But for faithful and answering devotion to duty commend me to medium sized ant some five or six yards from home and laden with large piece of cracker which he can scarcely drag, but will never relinquish.
 The temptation to neatly remove the roofs of these homes is great but I am 
 I have come in and a msitting at my 1esk. The temptation was too great: [ should have fled before But instead of doing that I took a trowel and lifted house, foundations and all. and then shook it gently apart.

LoNDoN's BARGAIN PARTIES.

 The stiffness of fashionable amuse- ments almost passes belief. Last wn- ter the rage was book teas. It was not very intellectual fashon: but at least | { presupposed familiarity, not indeed with literature but at all events, with the names on the covers of books. The latest frivolty has not even that eX- cuse. The idea is that competing guests should contend who should lay out a small sum of money so as to get most for it. The purchases have to be made, brought and exhibited and the amusement consists in the arrival of each competitor with these achieve ments Of Well-considered economy and the effect produced as each comes up to compete. All have to start fair, and so each investor Is allowed the same capital. This is arbitrarily fixed ta one penny. The other night lady arrived with the sheets or the largest newspaper that a penny could purchase pinned over, and indeed covering, her dress. As she rustled up the room it seemed victory was secure But when human intelligence is concentrated on subject worthy of it the law is pro- gress. The prize was awarded to gen. tleman who arrived with farthing bit of soap, a farthing box of matches, a farthing candle and farthing worth of washing soda. So valuable an idea is not likely to be let alone. eW shall have developments of this amusement. It is impossible to say what may await us. But so far as it has gone, ping pong seems intellectual compared with News,
