John W. Sisson Figures Dividends
 Shortly in Troy Manhattan.
 At gathering of number of New Haven business men In Room 5f5. N. M. Q. A. building, last evening John w. Sisson of the firm of fsisson & Tonmins of 253 Broadway, New York introduced. and outlined plans of the American Tropical Hardwood company, which is being organized for the purpose of cut ting down and utilizing the valuable hardwood trees contained on their vast concessions in Hayti.
 The lands. of the company, he said, consist of 8,000,00O acres of concessions in Hayti and 12300O acres of land own ed outright in San Domingo.
 The principal object of the company will be to cut railroad ties for which such a serious demand is developing in this country. He went into the plans of the company in detail and predicted rosy prospects ahead.
 One order alone, he said, has been booked to deliver 100000 ties to French concern at $40 per tie. The company intend to establish plants sufficient to turn out about 5000 ties per day.
 In addition to the tie business the mak- ing of barrels, for which orders amount in to 75.00O have already been booked, will be undertaken. Then there are a number of different kinds of excellent woods i'm almost in finite number which can be sold in log form.
 Several of the gentlemen present were stockholders in the Troy Manhattan Mining company, of which MT. Sisson is president, and they asked him about the condition of that company, Mir. Sisson assured them that the stock was all right and that they need have no worry whatever about it. Several years have been spent in putting the property in Arizona in working condf- tion, but this object has now been ac- complished and the mine is producing about five tons of ore day or about $45, ,000 worth per morth.
 When asked about dividends on this stock, Mr Sisson said that he looked for dividends of two per cent per quarter or eight per cent. per year by April next His statements were very satis- factory to the stockholders present. A large quantity of Troy Manhattan stock is held in New Haven, Wallingford and other places i'm this state.

THE FAT RENDERING co.
MR. SATTIG,S RESIGNATION AS
 GENERAL MANAGER.

Due Solely, Directors Say, to the Fact
 That He Has Engaged in Different
 Line of Business-ResignatiOn Re
 IuctantIy Accepted-Preaident Plan
 Elected General Manager.
 At a meeting of the board of directors of the Connecticut Fat Rendering com pany held Thursday the resignation of Adam Sattig as general manager of the company was accepted, and George H. Pfaff, president of the company, was made general manager. MT. Pfaff, therefore. is now both the president and general manager of the company.
 Officers of the company took excep- tions last evening to the turn given the proceedings of the directors in an aft ernoon paper. They stated that it was with much reluctance that they accept ed MT. Sattig's resignation, which was rendered month ago, and that it was only accepted after ar unsuccessful at tempt to persuade Mir. Sattig to with draw his resignation and continue with the company as general manager. The reason MT. Sattig has resigned is be- cause he is to engage in the wholesale meat business with T. Andrews, of this city, who was for seventeen years with the New Haven Beef company. The firm will be Andrews & Sattig, and they have already opened place of business on Cedar street. They will represent the New York Retail Butchers Dressed Meat company, who are erecting a big new building in New York city.
 MT. Pfaff confirmed the statement that the company regretfully parted with MT. Sattig's services, and that his withdrawal was only matter of en- gazing in different field under fiatter- ing inducements. As to the claim that the Fat Rendering company had not done anything as to installing new ap- paratus to do away with offensive odors, Mir Sattig and others of the com pany said that the company was doing all in it's power to abate and obliterate anything offensive In the odors, and had been installing new apparatus as fast as possible for that purpose. MT. Sattig still continues with the Fat Rem dering company as secretary of the company. MT. Pfaff is president and general manager, MT. Sattig is secre- tary and w. J. Tolhurst, of Hartford, is the company's treasurer
 The company holds it's annual meet ing for the election of officers on the afternoon of January F at o'clock in room 1S, Insurance building
 Directors of the company said they regretted much the disposition mani fested to drive away their industry. which was of advantage to the city and state, out of New Haven. When they located their plant they were welcomed as an addition to West Haven's indus tries and prosperity.

JAPANESE CHESS.

Like Our Game in Principle But Not in
 Detail.
 The large number of Japanese at Yale, many of whom are remaining here dlr- Ing the vacation, are in the habit of meeting to play native game of chess. The principle of the game is the same as ours, but the pieces and the manner of making the moves are different.
 It is supposed that the game of chess originated in China. From there it was taken directly to Japan and has under gone but little change. The European game, however. coming by the rounlda- bout way of India, or Persia, has all tered considerably.

"A WORKING GIRLS WRONGS. !

"A WORKING GIRLS WRONGS"
 The industrial problem these days is attracting large measure of attention from the public, and it's different phases are discussed in almost every home. To those who toll for their livelihood it is even the foremost matter of interest. Tn Hal Reid's new melodrana, "A Working Girls Wrongs" which comes to the New Haven theater as the New Years attraction on Monday, Tues day and Wednesday nights, January 2, 3 and 4, and which attracted so much attention during it's run at the Acad- emy of Music, New York city, this problem more or less enters into his plot. The temptation and trials of working girls are shown with fidelity to the truth, and the fact that stern and ulconpromising virtue is as strongly irnpregnated in the persons of the totlers as it is in the rich, is strong 1y illustrated.

GOOD EDITORS ARE RARE.
None But Thorough Newspaper Men Appreciate Their Value = John
 SwintOn and Charles Dana.

A story is told of the late John Swinton. for many years managing ed itor of the New York Sun, who, when told by the late Charles A. Dana that he was willing to pay S125 week for first-class editorial writer, replied that first-class man could not he ob- tained for that Dana said: That Is what pay you, and don't you consid- CT yourself frst-class man?" No rejoined Swinton, If were 8 Arst- class man I should be paying you S125 week."
 The story illustrates, says the Port land Oregonian, that man like Swinton, who was philanthropist, could of course never be the foundsr of newspaper like the Sun, which MT. Dana framed as mere money making machine As mere publicist John Swinton was intellectually a peer of Dana; that is. he was as able a writer. he was as well-informed man, and he was an educated printer. Give him the same comparatively sor- did ambition as that of MT. Dana and John Swinton could have made money-making newspaper. but John Swinton was like Franklin: he was a man of Humanitarian views and opin- ions, and cared little about creating a money making machine. but great deal more about making the world little warmer in some of its cold spots for his having lived in 1t.

 ''Yes; that's why like horses better than men,"

Will you hitch the gray to the buggy for us, Mixer" she asked of Eaynor, as they came out of the stable. we'll wait here"
 AS Mike started ofr there came to their ears sound of turmoil from Di- abio's box; impatient kicks against the boards from the horse, and smothered imprecations from the boy.
 Here that fendi" the girl exclaimed. and there was wrath in her voice.
 "He does seem bad horse." con- cured Mortimer.
 T didn't mean Diablo; it's the boy. It's all his evil doing. Oh, I've only one glove" she exclaimed. T know where it is. though; that mischievous rascal, Lauzanne. nibbled 1t frona the front of my jacket; I saw him do it, but forgot to pick 1t up."
 Allow me, Miss Porter: I'll get 1t for you"
 ''No; please don't!" with emphasis. As he started back, she laid detaining hand on his arm. 'T'd much prefer to go myself; Lauzanne distrusts strangers and might make trouble"
