TROUT AND RAIN.

On the following morning MT. Mcleod felt a trifle indisposed, and as the weather looked threatening he said he did not care to go out for the time. He wanted to take home some trout with him this time, however. and asked me to catch him a basketful if I could. The morning was warm and threaten ing, with black clouds gathering in the sky. Acting on Williams advice, went down stream, we'll towards the end of the preserve, and fished water where a rod had not been in this season, un- less 1t had been MT. Miller's on one or two days at most. I was alone this time, and what pretty time did have with those trout! Pushing my way through the forest into a little open glade. where bit of grass bank lined the stream, I just dropped the fly out of sight over the grassy edge. There was double flash quick as lightning. and the tip of the rod was jerked sud- denly downward I hooked one fish of the double rise. beauty of over half pound. Then I did the trick directly over again, and was lucky enough to land his mate. Then began to work down the grassy bank of the stream, costing short in order to avoid the bushes back of me. Tn brief, took six noble trout in this little bend, one of them nearly three-quarters of a pound, and all of them over ten inches. found the fish equally obliging as went on down stream, and soon the basket began to get heavy.
 Do not believe those who tell you that trout will not rise while it is laundering. There was thunder storm coming apace back of me, but the closer it got the more avid the trnut

produce Colonel Humbert's explanation of his wonderful invention in his own words:
 In his remarkable book. The Armed Nation,' Won der Goltz, who is now a general commanding an army corps, af- ter having said that the rapidity of in- fantry fire would not in all Likelihood modify the theoretical character of the fight. thus expresses himself: "The change will only take place when a force which will prove substitute for powder is invented. Owing to the in cessant progress of industry, powder Is old-fashioned, but it will continue in use because the substance calculated to replace it has not been found. This, however, is only a matter of time If a motorpower acting on projectiles with out any report and without snake, but yet producing the same result, were discovered. the mode of fighting would certainly be upset by it to such an ex- tent that it is impossible for us to form a precise idea of it at present" I have not found, nor even sought, motor force acting on projectiles without re- port and without smoke. My discovery is more important I have converted the explosive powder which has been known for centuries, and which conse- quently no longer exposes to dangerous surprises, into motor power, giving impulse to projectiles from rifles and cannons without report, without smoke, without flash, and without recoil, and all this without diminishing its force and it's effect. It is not only the mode of fighting which will be upset, to em- ploy Won der Goltz's expression, but even, and to a very great extent, the manner of carrying on war. During the past five years I have been trying to find the means of suppressing the flash, the noise and the smoke of fire arms. After very many experiments, I have succeeded in constructing an apparatus which applied to the gun at the moment when it is wanted completely suppresses the flash, the sound and the smoke, even of black gunpowder There is no longer ony ebranlement of the air at the muzzle of the gun. My apparatus is of simple make, of easy and quick adapta- tion and inexpensive. It works thor oughly well, is very strong and does not require any previous instruction for it's

these is Vina del Mar. which is a very popular seaside resort. During the summer season, from December to February, it is gay place. A short distanre from the town is the ''cancha, y or race track, in connection with which are golf links. cricket and polo grounds, ;H managed by the English sporting clubs. The polo matches and the races are over by the 1st of Decem- bar, but cricket golf and tennis g1 on all summer. Tennis tournaments are held, lasting for several weeks. Most of these sports, with the exception of tennis. which goes on all the time, take place on Sunday. Sunday is the great gala day, when all the popula- tion, rich and poor alike, turn out to have a good time.
 The common people find their holi- day sport in getting gloriously drunk, If you walk along the street on Sum day afternoon. you must not be sur prised to meet every few minutes in dividuals decidedly unsteady on their feet. The little wineshops do a rush ing business, and there is always a large crowd about the door watching and loudly applauding the dancing of the "cueca," which goes on all day. This is sort of national dance, per formed to the accompaniment of the guitar The dance is quaint and rath- CT pretty if the dancers are sober, but in it's ordinary environment it is far from inviting.
 During a good season at Vina del Mar one has an excellent oportunity of seeeing the aristocratic Chileans of Santiago. In January Santiago is very warm, and the society people come down to the coast during the hot weather. The ladies are many of them quite handsome. They all dress gorgeously and have very bad man. ners. They stroll along the hotel piaz- ga. and if they see anything that arouses their curiosity in any of the rooms they stop and look on serenely, regardless of the occupant. They never make their appearance until 10 or il o'clock in the morning, when they go down to the beach for morn ing dip. After the Ii o'clock break fast they disappear until 4 o'clock, when they all come out in gowns that would rival Solomon in all his glory They either drive on the beach and trail their skirts and embroidered chif- ions through the sand or stroll up and down the long platform of the railroad station. watching the trains pass. These exciting diversions occupy them until dinner.

STRIKERS MEETING.
sargent & Co.'S Men Held a Session Last
 Night.

A large number of Sargent & Co.'S strikers met last night in the Trades Council hall in the Insurance building and discussed the situation. The meet ing was a quiet one and at it's conclu- sion one of the members said that they were better organized than ever and it was probable that they would be stronger before the week ended, if the strike lasted that long. At the meet ings last night committees were appoint ed to carry out the campaign of the strikers and it was voted to send mo- tices to the different cities of the state requesting laborers and others to keep away.
 It is impossible to tell just how mary men have quit work at the SarglnG fac tory but the number is supposed to be large, probably six hundred. They com prise the unskilled laborers, the ma jority being Italians.
 The same indifference to the strike by the officials of Sargent & Co. was shown yesterday afternoon, and evidently the trouble in the factory is not worrying them much. A few men from out of town and some who live in New Haven have taken the places of some of the strikers, and at no time has violence been shown. Crowds of men turk about the street corners near the shops and converse in Italian, and some of the strikers went to the Union depot yes terday afternoon to investigate rumOr that 100 Hungarians were going to be Imported from Stamford to take the place of some of the men who were out, but they didn't have anything to do, as the men were not seen.
 Some of the officers of the unions which the men belong are in town at present directing the strikers.
 It is only matter of conjecture how long the strike will last, but from what could be learned from the officers of the company it is thought that, as the strikers while granted so much at the meeting of the committee and members of the firm Monday, that they will not hold out very long.
 As MT. Sargent says, the great ma jority of the men out don't know what they have quit work for, and with this condition existing it is not likely that the men will be willing to stay out a great length of time.

 Fear of a general epidemic of small- pox throughout Connecticut in the fall has caused a call to be issued for a meeting of county health officers and the state board of health in this city July ?, to consider the advisability of Issuing a general vaccination order through the state.

It is hardly necessary to dwell on the importance of such a discovery, which, as the gallant gunner points out, may have the eventual ef- feet of rendering the dream of univer- sal peace a happy reality.

Liverpool Cables and Decrease in Visible

decrease in the visible supply for the
week of 10000 bales against 10000 last

The in sight figures during the coming

fetal rains fell east OF the Mississippi
River. Augusta getting nearly two inches,
and Texas reports were favorable.
But the strength of New Orleans. the
