 A very pleasant event took place at the L. Candee Rubber shop yesterday afternoon when the popular foreman of one of the largest departments of this big factory, James J. Harney, who re- sides on Ferry street, Fair Haven, was met by committee of four girls, rep resenting the entire force under his charge, and presented him with mag nificent hunting case gold watch, pur- chased of the Ford company, as a token of the high esteem in which he is held by all his subordinates. The force under his jurisdiction is composed entirely of young ladies and they num- Der about 450. MT. Harney after the presentation replied with a few appro- priate words, in which he thanked the givers for their kind present and stated that he would always treasure it with fond recollectionss On the watch were MT. Harneys initials beautifully en- graved The presentation is all the more noticeable inasmuch as this is the department in which the recent strike occurred, the gift showing that the best of feeling now prevails and that MT. Harney's interest in his em- ployes is fully appreciated.
 MT. Harney has been employed at the Rubber shop for the last twenty-six years and is a most faithful and valued foreman.

One of Our Most Noted New Haven
 Stores.
 The fruit store of John E. Judson on Chapel street is one of the brightest and most up to date of its kind in the state. It always presents a most attractive appearance because of it's artistic ap- pearance and also by reason of it's be- ing stocked to it's capacity with all of the finest and rarest as well as the most common of fruits. Tropical fruits and those of the colder regions are to be found at Judson's.

QUIET AT YALE.


 All She Yale buildings were closed yesterday. because of the observance of New Years day. None of the execu- tive offices was opened, and the gymna- siuns were shut. As all the students are away on the Christmas vacation and most of the professors are away attend ing scientific societies. conventions there were no signs of activity on the campus whatever. The squad of twen- ty United States soldiers. who are talk ing a years dieting under the direction of Professor Russell H. Chittenden, did not report.

THB COUNTRY HOTEL.
Automobilists Find Those of AIneri
 Tufarior fo vrboco hrood

Automobilists Find Those of America Inferior to Those Abroad.
 One effect of the automibiIe is to direct attention to a distinctively
 American institution--the country hotel. Nothing like it is found anywhere else, which Is fortunate for persons who go anywhere else. English novelists and
 occasional American travellers have
 made us acquainted with the village inn of England, and it comes near to being ideal. However unpretentious may be the exterior, comfort. cleanliness and
 courtesy make the interior cheerful
 The food may be heavy, being English, and the ale heady, but the clean beds
 and prompt and willing service make the general impression agreeable.
 In France poverty is too often a
 characteristic of the country auberge- a
 battered hut with no floor, but the bare ground in the kitchen which is also the dining room, sitting and bedroom of the landlord and his family. Yet such is the cleanliness of the place and the smiling courtesy of the people that the amiable traveller is not disposed to com plain bitterly. He may go hungry, but at least he Is free from nausea.
 1 Even the desperate poverty of the
 poorest French auberge is to be pre- ferred a thousand times to some of the hotels Waldorf and Delmonico which
 disgrace so many American villages.
 Before this typical hotel or inside the dirty office" are shirt-sleeved loungers,
 who have made the nickel cigar wide- I spread curse. The landlord, also in shirt sleeves, does not remove his shah- by hat on the entrace of a guest, and perhaps does not suspend his game of checkers to receive him. No foreign
 servility about him. Tn the dining
 room a slatternly village belle presides
 over the swarming flies and the pine tables with soiled covers. Most persons
 would prefer starvation to the greasy
 food in such -Philadel- phia Record.

Informality Was the Password and All Enjoyed It.
 Following the informality of the pre- ceding evening the open house kept by the Union league in its spacious club house on Chapel street yesterday from 10 o'clock in the morning until midnight was an affair of much enjoyment. There was no set programme Of events, but the comfort and pleasure of all attend ing, both members and their friends, was looked after in most admirable manner, and in consequence the event was one of the most successful functions which has yet held.
 Music and story telling, pool and bil- liards, together with a dainty and pal atable buffet luncheon served to pass the hours. especially from until mid- night away all too quickly. The enter tainment committee of the Union league is to be congratulated on the success of their efforts in providing for the enter tainment of the members of the league and their friends.

BANKING IN THE TERRITORIES.

BANKING IN THE TERRITORIES. That the national banking business in Oklahoma and Indian territories is
 prosperous is conclusively shown by a statement just made public by the controller of the currency From March 4, 1900, to November 30, 1903, eighty na- tional banks were organized in Oklaho-
 ma, with a total capital of $2,245000.

HORSES FOND OF BEER.
Why Animals That Draw Beer Wagons
 Are So Fat.


 "Fully one-half of the horses used by. the brewers of Washington said a fat and ruddy driver of one of the big wagons, are beer swillers, and there are horses belonging to our company which will not leave the delivery yards until they have had their bucket ofz beer in the morning and at lunch tinnd They have acquired a taste for the beverage and they refuse to do their4 work until they have been supplied. Now I say the horses acquire a taste floor beer. but I guess arsa wrong about that, for it is my candid oplfnan tha44 horses naturally love beer. They see1f to have the same taste for it that hogs have for the mash and beer from the still-houses It is a well- known fact that in running down and locating illicit stills in the mountain districts the rel vence officers are frequently aided inf their work by watching the hogs, the6s razor backs shifting the mash for two miles distance. szs
 Our horses fatten on beer, and it is a noticeable fact that the ones drinking the most beer keep in the best physical condition and can do the most hard driving. The horses draw the line on stale beer, and one of them will have to s be powerful dry in the throat before he will drink it, but give him a N<easet QE fresh beer, and it will soon disappd and he will neigh for more DriV helpers, and horses are allowed libss al supply of the fluid by the compan and I would do without my mugs befo1 I would see my horses go thirsty.
