HoF- BRAU HAUs.

Artistic Display to Please the Eye.
To the sage of Sardanapalus is attrib-
uted the saying Eat, drink and sleep,
nought else can avail u.s." Visitors to
the Hof-Brau Haus, to embrace the
three great characteristics Of this fine
local New York branch, would change
one word and say: Eat, drink and
see.p The cuisine and service here is
fine; the sideboard replete with all the
finest liquors and cordials and including
the choicest imported beers, for which
the New York house is sole American
agents, is not surpassed anywhere; the
place itself, which in it's ladies' en-
trance and its pleasing and appropriate
furnishings, shows, not only taste, but
lavish expenditure Of money to merit
the generous patronage which it has
won. But what suggested these thoughts
is the handiwork and taste of the house,
within the last few days, in the gentle-
mems department. For some time past
the ladies' cafe has always won the ad-
iniration of guests from the natural
floral decorations which have added so
much to it's attractiveness. Just now
the mems department lis showing a dec
GRATED counter revealing, in artistic eff
feet, all the various delicacies Of the
season in the line of fish, fowl, meats and
vegetables, placed in bed of ferns and
imported beer leaves which is made
specially attractive in the evenings by
the addition Of concealed electric lights.
Mr.. Becker, the manager, who comes
from the New York house, is giving a
touch of metropolitan ideas to this local
branch, which is receiving favorable
comment from it's many patrons.

A YARMOUTH INDUSTRY,
SKILLED OYSTER FARMING ON 4
HUGE SCALE.

a. c. Rowe & Co. Make Large Invest

of Finest Oyster Grounds in New

Among the many important indus
tries in New Haven. the propagation,
cultivation and shipment of oysters is
perhaps as little known as any other.
either as to the magnitude Of the meth
DDS pursued. A new and most import
ant development Of the industry has
lust been accomplished. H. G. Rowe &
Co. have acquired about 1000 acres Of
the best oyster grounds in the state of
New York. This ground is situated
around Shelter Island. near Greenport
and Sag Harbor, and in the Peconlc
Bay and channels.
This firm have invested more than
$4,000 in this new locality during the
past six months. so that in addition to
their great interests in Connecticut and
Rhode Island. they now have a vast
quantity of oysters which they can
market this fail and winter, not only
from Connecticut and Rhode Island,
but from New York waters as well.
amounting to more than 100000 bushels
in all.
In addition to their immense grounds
in Rhode Island, this firm owns in Con-
necticut 1O,s46 acres. and about 1000
acres in New York waters. which con-
stitutes far greater holding than any
other oyster firm in the world. Their
planting of cultch for the propagation
of oysters is also three times that of
any other firm in the world.
A year ago the firm heightened their
large steamer "Ruel Rowe" to 112 feet,
and they have at the present time a
contract to also lengthen the steamer
Gordon Rowe" and make her timbers
and planking very much heavier than
heretofore, so that she will be as able
to combat the heavy ice Of winter as
the ''Ruel Rowe" proved to be last
season, when this firm kept constantly
supplied with oysters although nearly
every other shipping firm north OF
South Carolina was obliged to stop for
lack Of supplies.

Another Fallen.

Man is born to die. That which is
mortal must cease. This life is limited
to a very small compass. We enter it in
the morning, as it were, and leave it in
the evening. The hour glass soon meas
ures off the time OF our lives and snaps
the thread. So i. was with William D.
Mitchell. Born December 9Th, 1878, at
Deer Lodge, Montana, he died at Butte,
Montana, September 13, 1904. But this
life was not too short to be fruitful, nor
was it void. AS has been seen on the
small tree of few years, the golden
fruit, SO the few years OF his life left be-
hind golden influences and memories,
which are the rarest fruits to mans her
itage.
The best thing that can be said about
"Will" Mitchell, as he was Familiarity
and affectionately known among his
friends, is that if he had LETT nothing to
his relatives but his good name they
would receive a heritage that would
stand in its class the highest appraise-
ment and one which they might well feel
proud Of. Everybody in every walk of
life honored and respected viii Mitchell.
Those who knew him well loved him as
a brother. His goodness was great and
his deeds of kindness were numerous
For the latter he will long be held in
grateful remembrance by many who Oh
tanned assistance from him in their hours
of need.
And now that he is forever in the
presence of merciful and loving God,
let his sorrowing relatives think only of
the "sweet beyond" and hold in memo
~ these beautiful and admirable traits
of his life. Treasure up the comforting
words spoken by the Rev. H. E. Robbins
at the funeral services, and make them
also to cheer the lives that have been so
saddened. For he has only gone on
ahead to welcome those that follow, and
do we not know that he has escaped
world of disappointments and suffering
here! That, too, should comfort and
reconcile to the will of an allwise God
who makes no mistakes.
