THE FALL.

"It is so foolish to speak OF falling
in love-" said the romantic girl. ITO
fall implies a drop, a going down,
while love is something high and ex
alted."
Perhaps you are right" answered
the prosaic man. Possibly it would
be better to say that we fall into wed.

SWEETS FoR BREAKFAsT.

The custom of serving sweets on
the breakfast table was originally an
English custom. Now it is generally
adopted in the United States, and a
little bitter orange marmalade or some
acid fruit jam is a pleasant finale to
the American breakfast. The sweets
should never be served at the begin.
ming Of the meal as fresh fruit is
served. They would be too clOying
and would destroy the appetite for
more substantial food. They should
be served after the meal Is practi-
cally ended, and only small amount
should be eaten. When there is
fresh fruit on the table marmalade or
jam is unnecessary.
A favorite breakfast confection Is
made OF tart oranges cut In pieces,
with the outer and inner skin OF the
orange torn away from the pulp. Crate
a little of the yellow peel of the or.
ange with the orange pulp. Put the
whole in a small thick jar and
sweeten it to the taste and bake like
beans--well covered with an earthen
plate. It will form a thick marina.
lade and acquire bright color in sew.
eral hours baking. Apples cooked
in this slow way, with sugar added
at the beginning, and garden rhubarb
make excellent breakfast conserves.
The flavor is entirely different from
apple sauce or from stewed oranges
cooked more rapidly on the top Of the
stove.

 Prof Lockhardt's Animals Had a Heap
 of Fun
 Hartford. Feb 1s.-Prof Lock- ardt's elephants. which have been the chief attraction at the Coliseum entertain ments, gave an impromptu entertain- ment yesterday afternoon at the Nan street stable where they are quartereu that was unusual and decidedly inter esting. It is well known that the cle- phant came originally from I very hot climate. but it is not generally known that there is not an animal ill the world that loves snow better lhan these gigantic beasts-not even the polar bear. Prof Lockhardt WAS fcll- ing q number of gentlemen at the totel yesterday how the elephants loved to play in the snow. and finally ;nvifed half dozen to visit the stable where the animals are quartered. 9Ee party found the stable yard filled with snow and two or three large drifts piled up Mir Lockhardt told the stahlemen to let the elephants out i'll the yard after telling his friends to post themselves high up in the wagons under tic sheds.
 Then Prof Lockhardt told rhn ele- plants they could have just as much fun in the snow as they wishe.i. They immediately rushed for the highest drifts and made the snow fly ill de cidedly lively manner. ThA beasts would take large quantities of snow up in their trunks. and seemed to find great delight in throwing it as high as possible. letting it fall uD3n their backs. Then they began snowbaling. and schoolboys never took more dc light than these huge animals. Tearing on their hir.d legs. trumpeting and giv- ing signs of intense satisfaction every time one gave another a trHnl1ful of snow in the face. At length Mr Lock hardt told the largest of the quartet to lie down. and then permitted the o.ler elephants to cover her over with snow, which they did with much dextcrity At word the big elephant arose, shook off the snow and amid trumpet ings and general excitement the api- mals were returned to the barn. The feats at the Coliseum were gone through with last evening with much speed and vim. and Mir Lockhardt said he thought the snowballing ot tic if fernoon had really done the elephants good

oard of Public Charities,
 "A. J. CABLE, Pres,

Commissioner Disley was of the opinion that it would be wise for the board to attend the above meeting, or at least the superintendent of the poor should attend Much knowledge con corning the pauper question and the laws in regard to this subject could be gained by the local officials at such q meeting Mayor Kilduif thought that the board should be represented at the Bridgeport conference. Accord ingly it was voted that the board and Superintendent Doran should attend the conference at Bridgeport. Notice to this effect will be sent to the Bridge port board of charities.
 Questions of considerable import will be discussed at this meeting. The question of caring for the poor has been the subject of general discussion throughout the state during the past few years. There are several laws on this subject which the officials III some cities and towns would like to see changed. If a person from Waterbury applies for aid ill Bridgeport, he is asked innumerable questions. Some times he is sent back to Waterbury to be cared for by the To- cal authorities. Again the Bridge DOfC OIllcldlS Wln CslIc lOI llul and then send the bill to the Water bury officials. The latter may think the bill is too high and refuse to pay for it. Then lawsuit would probably ensue. And thus there would be extra expenses for the towns. To do away with this trouble some persons would have towns in which the poor apply for aid and assistance pay for the care of those persons whether they are resi- dents of that town or of some other town. One of the objections to this plan, however, is that the selectmen of small towns, i'll order to save money might send applicants for assistance to the large cities Other questions of equal import will be considered at this meeting, which will no doubt be an inn portant one. The monthly report of Superintendent of the Poor Mortimer Doran was read, as was a report of the investigation of the new office sys- tenn in charge of Clerk McAIahon.

Dwyer and Gehle are Still Watching
 Each Other.

Dwyer and Gehle are Still Watching
 Each Other.
 The interest still continues to in- crease as the night for the match be- tween Prof NJ. J. Dwyer and Frank Gehle draws near. Next Thursday evening should See one of the biggest crowds that has ever attended wrest- ling contest in this city There have been but few compliments passed be- tween the contestants in the last day or so, but each is watching the other as hawk watches it's prey. Gehle has now come out with the statement that he vii lprobably win the Cornish style of wrestling from Dwyer and thus set at rest any claims that Dwyer has as being champion in that style. Every day he is disclosing certain facts which make it appear that he is here to give Dwyer the worst beating he ever received. He says that he is iust as sure of winning the match as he IS that he is living. He wants Dwyer,s money and he ayers that he is going to get it.
 Dwyer does not scare a little bit when told these things, but still re'ter- ates the first statement he made that he will send Gehle back to the west to tell Harvey Parker how badly he was fooled. He will beat Gehle and beat him decisively. He does not say that he will not have a hard struggle. but he does say that Gehle will be doing all the struggling to keep his shoulders off the mat He is more anxious to beat Gehle than. any other man that has come before him because if he does defeat him it will prove con clusively that Parker was beaten squarely when he was here and that Gehle was sent here to make LID for that defeat.
 The match will be a corker, for there will have to be three falls and because of the three styles that will be used. The preliminary will also be a good one for Danny Mccarthy says he will send Jack Harvey back to New Haven beaten man or he will break a laa trying to do it. The seats are now o,1 sale at George E. Harrington's cigar store
 The latest contender for wrestling honors in this country Is Stefano Ia. rice, who says he is the champion catch-as-catclt-ca wrestler of Italy. Farice arrived ill America the other
 
 over 200 battles and has a record of never having met with defeat. l.. Maresco, the Italian sporting man. has taken Farice under his wing and is ready to match his man against John Fleming, Dan Mcleod or Leo Pardello for a side bet and purse.
 Charley Wittmer has not given up efforts to wrestle Hjalmar Lundin of Worcester Wittmer makes two propo- sitions. He is willing to wrestle Lnn- din a straight Graeco-R Roman match, two falls in three to decide the winner, or give Lundin a handicap, agreeing to throw Lundin twice in an hour, once Graeco-Roman and once at catch-as.. catch-can. Tuohey says he will make the match for $250 a side and gate re- ceipts. Wittmer's Iatest contest was early last week at Cleveland with Dan. Mcleod, the Scotch wrestler. who beat Wittmer in two falls, one at Graeco- Roman and one at catch-as-catch-can Tuohey says Mcleod won the catch-as- catch-can fall fairly, but Wittmer was robbed in the second. His shoulders were. not within five inches of the mar when the referee declared a fall.

YOUNG PEOPLES FEDERATION.
Second Rally Meeting of the Winter
Held Last Night.

The young peoples societies of the
four liberal churches in Washington held
their second rally meeting last night in
the Friends Meeting House, Cd l Street
northwest, when the subject considered
was The Duty of the Liberal Religious
Organizations Regarding Social, Political
and Economic Questions"
The members of the Young Peoples Re-
ligious Unions of the Universalist Church,
the Friends, the Peoples Church, and All
Souls Unitarian have formed federation
and have shown a creditable advance as
a religious organization, this being their
second rally for this winter season.
In 1897 the first delegate from Washing
ton attended the May meetings in Bos-
ton, and shortly afterward the Unita-
rians of that city inaugurated a move
ment to bring the Young Peoples socie-
ties of the country into closer touch by
means of rational organization.
The suggestion found instant response,
and as a result federations of the differ
ent young folks societies in various cities
began springing up throughout the coun
try.
Officers elected at the October meeting
of the local federation are as follows:
pies Church; vice president. Miss f. f
Martin, Friends; secretary, Mr.. Harry
W. Nichols, All Souls Church, and treas
urer. Mrs. f. A. Everts. Universalist

Golden Future of Alaska.

AT the Raleigh are two of the leading
gold miners of Alaska, Messrs. D. A.
Macdonald and C. E. Hoxsie, who have
extensive interests in Nome, Council City,
and Anvik. Mr.. Macdonald was in the
party of seven who made the original dis
covery at Nome in October, 1897. and
was the only practical miner in the COM
pany. He has been one of the favored
ones Of that reigion-a result that he
thinks is due to practical knowledge OF
mining, rather than chance.
THE failures at Nome have been many
but not more than at any other good
camp" said he. THE reason so many
have not succeeded is because they rushed
into kind OF business they did not un-
derstand. This thing of gold mining. to
pan out. must be undertaken by men who
have had practical experience. Novices
can't go in and land a fortune.
Il know Alaska we'll. and am here to
tell you that inside OF ten years north
western Alaska will be producing more
gold than the present entire output of the
United States, Canada, and Klondike. The
reason the yield is so small, compare
lively, today is mainly due to the lack
of adequate mining machinery. There
has hardly been enough material in the
country to build sluice boxes. In another
year there will be hydraulic operations on
a large scale, and as soon as this starts
up, the output of gold will be increased
tenfold. Some of the richest ground in
the Seward peninsula will hardly pan out
enough by present methods for living
wages. Once the water is turned upon IL,
however. there will be a production that
will make for the owners such wealth as
the mining history of this country has
never vet recorded"
