One of the Most Select Affairs of the
 Season Held Last Evening. One of the most successful affairs of the season was the annual ball which Was given by the Young Mems Repub- sican club in the hall on Grown street last evening, There was a good at- Tendance and every one had a most en- joyable time. The hall was handsome Ay decorated with flowers, potted plants and palms, while beautiful red shades hid all the electric lights in the room, Causing a sombre glow which greatly Enhanced the beauty of the scene. There were a large number of hand |some ladies present, beautifully gown Ed, when the dancing was in progress land it would be hard to adequately ex- press the magnificent sight presented |The music was excellent and was fur- Ilished by Holt's orchestra. The dance Programme consisted of eighteen num- pers and several extras, and it was af- ter o'clock when the strains of Home, Sweet Home were waited from the gall .ery, where the. orchestra was seated There was a good attendance of prom 2nent people in this city, some of whom Enjoyed the dancing, while others merely looked on.
 Refreshments were served during the Fvening and many went out to lunch

THE MURDERoUs ASSAULT
Upon Miss Augusta Peterson.

upon MISS AuguSLd PeterSOn.
 As result of the publication in a local paper that Yale freshman was suspected of the murderous assault made on Miss Augusta Peterson last Friday night, a number of Yale fresh men called at police headquarters and offered to assist in the detection of the alleged criminal. President George of the Sheffield freshman class says: There is not the slightest credence at tached to the idea that any member of the freshman class was the assailant.
 According to the police authorities not the slightest shadow of suspicion has ever been cast upon any student of the university, least of all upon any member of the freshman class of the scientific school.
 q desire to say, as president of the Sheffield freshman class, that I have made most searching inquiry, and have found the story to be entirely de- void of any truth.'
 Miss Peterson's condition last even ing was such as to give continued hope of her recovery.

gation Company by the Reading and
 New Haven Roads--Deal Expected
 Soon to Develop.
 c. S. Mellen. president of the New York New Haven and Hartford rail- road. has arranged with the Philadel- phia and Reading management for an important change in the routing of freight south of New York city.
 This arrangement, it is understood, involves joint control of the Lehigh Navigation company by the Reading and the New Haven, and the transfer os about 800 cars of New England freight daily from the Pennsylvania railroad to the Reading. The state ment is. made that the proposed con- nection of the Pennsylvania system with the New Haven by way of Long has been abandoned.
 The New Haven management con- trols the Central New England rail- road and a large amount of freight Is to be sent over that line and the Pough- keepsie Bridge route. On or about June the New Haven will abandon it's barge route for anthracite at Fishkill Landing, and plans are forming, it is Isaid, by which President Mellen may take his entire fuel supply from Beech Creek via Williamsport over the Read ing and Poughkeepsie Bridge routes. The New Haven road now uses Clear field coal. which is carried over the Pennsylvania road.
 It is expected that the deal between the New Haven and the Lehigh Navi- gation interests will develop at a meet ing of the directors of the last named company to be held in Philadelphia next week.

 Hartford-The Funeral of His Victim, Dennis Griffin, Took Place Yesterday.
 Hartford, April 27.-Joseph Russo, |gho killed Dennis Griffin in a barn on Sheldon street Monday night, is still |at large despite the incessant efforts of khe local police to run him down. The belief now shared in by every lnan from Chief Ryan down is that the 8nan is being secreted right here in the fity, and the Italian district is being Closely watched while every avenue of |escape is cut off and VII remain so for nany days.
 # The New York detectives are working bn the case and the Italian quarters are being thoroughly searched, as well As portions of Jersey City, wher the fnan has relatives.
 Sheriff Pinney is to-day watching the snlall Italian colony at Hartford near Sinsbury, hoping Russo may come there. The story that Russo was seen In Leroy's saloon on Kilbourn street di- Fectly after the murder, although de- !hied, is believed in many quarters. k The police claim that the age of the snan and the impediment in his walk, eoupled with the fact that he is one to De easily recognized, all point to the Conclusion that he is not far away. Ev- Dry Dlace for miles around has been sys- Eematieally searched, regular policemen Aoing the work and their place being Temporarily taken by supernumeraries. # The funeral of the murdered man was held with high mass at St. Peters thurch at o'clock this morning, the

MIGHT IMPROVE MAsTTERs.


 The woman who was bent on improv- ing the race had explained matters with great care.
 '.The trouble is," she said, that few of us have proper training for our du- ties. Our servants are not trained"
 "Yes," said the girl, they ought to be trained"
 'Assuredly," assented the woman. They should be trained for their duties before they undertake them. Then our husbands are not trained"
 Some of them are,'' the girl declared.
 After marriage said the woman, but they should be trained before. A man should be properly fitted to assume family responsibilities before he is per- mitted to assume them. It isn't fair to expect his wife to train him.
 Some wives seem to like it. sug- gested the girl.
 But it would be far better to have them properly trained beforehand" in ssted the woman.
 'Yes,' admitted the girl, husbands ought to be trained"
 And the wives ougtht to be trained. y
 Don't you think every girl is a natu- |ral born wife?" asked the girl. Mot exactly" replied the woman. "Still, she comes nearer to that than to being natural born mother. I believe in preliminary training throughout, es- pecially for motherhood It would make lots less trouble in the world if mothers were trained to be mothers be- fore they are mothers" It took the girl little time to grasp this. Then her face lighted up. "Of course,' she said. but don't you think it would simplify matters if babies were trained to be babies before they are babies? ?''-Brooklyn Eagle.

Animals at School.

Is there. anything which. without great
violence to language, may be called q
school Of the woods? In the sense in
which a playground Is a school-a play
ground without rules or methods or a
-director-there is a school of the woods.
It Is an unkept, an unconscious school
or gymnasium, and is entirely instructive.
In play the young Of all animals, no
doubt, get a certain amount Of training
and disciplining that helps fit them for
their future careers, but this school is
not presided over or directed by parents.
though it is sometimes taken part in by
them. It is spontaneous and haphazard
without rule or system; but is, In every
case; along the line Of the future struggle
for life Of the particular bird or animal
A young marshhawk which we reared
used to play at striking leaves or bits of
bark with it's talons; kittens play with
ball, or cob, or a stick, as If 1t were
a mouse; dogs race and wrestle with
each other as in the chase; ducks dive
and sport in the water; doves circle
and dive in the air as If escaping from
a hawk; birds pursue and dodge each
other in the same way; bears wrestle
and box; chickens have mimic battles:
colts run and leap; fawns probably do
the same thing; squirrels play something
like a game of tag in the trees; lambs
butt one another and skip about the
rocks; and so on.
In fact, nearly all play, including much
of that of man, takes the form of mock
battle, and is to that extent an education
for the future. Among the carnivora it
takes also the form of the chase. Its
spring and motive are, of course, pleas
ure and not education; herein again re-
vealing the cunning of nature-the power
that conceals purposes of its own in our
most thoughtless acts. The cat and the
kitten play with the live mouse, not to
indulge the sense Of cruelty as some
have supposed. but to indulge in the
pleasure of the chase and of capture, and
unconsciously to practice this feat The
cat rarely plays with live bird, because
the recapture would be more difficult, and
might fail. What fishermen would not
like to capture his big fish over and over
again If he could be sure of doing 1t, not
from cruelty, but for the pleasure of prac-
ticing his art.-Century.

CLOTHES KILL INDIANS.

Coats and trousers are responsible
for the approaching determination of
the Cocopa Indians in the lower Col
orado River valley. The chief Pablo
Colorado, will be invited to the Worlds
fair in st. Louis by Edwin G. Cush-
man Jr., now on his way to visit the
tribe as a representative of the expo
sition.
In 1900 the tribe numbered 10000; in
1850 it numbered 5000; in 1885, 1900,
and in 1900, 500. Wearing white mems
clothes without understanding their
proper use caused pneumonia and pull
monary diseases in the tribe, from
which they died by the score.
The tribe now lives south Of Yuma,
AriZ, on the Mexican border. There
1t cultivates corn and turnips in the
same manner as when Columbus dis
covered America. It's style Of warfare
has not changed, nor its customs, in
teresting among which are the mortu-
Sary customs.
The Cocopas are a peaceful tribe.
Their warfare is described as symbolic.
Their shields are oyster shells fasten-
ed in their noses and hanging over
their mouths, thus protecting their
breath, which to them is the sign of
life Protection of the breath is to
them protection of the warriors life.
Their spears are the reverse Of those
used by other people, the sharpened
point being on the end which rests on
the ground. The upper end is decor
ated with flag. The war club is their
weapon for knocking an enemy down.
Then they jab with the spear.
The only change in the tribe since
the days of Columbus is in adopting
white mems clothes. On account of
the climate in which they live that has
proved fatal.
The daily extremes Of temperature
in the arid country they inhabit range
from so to 100 degrees. 1t is as great
often as the extremes Of summer and
winter in ST. Louis, the nights being
very cold and the days hot.
When the Indians wore little clothing
their skins were toughened to protect
them from the changes in temperature.
They did not contract colds.

when he had his attention draw

When he had his attention drawn
later to the properties of radium, it
struck him that the stones from the
Pieds des Monts mine, which he found
to contain the most uranium, might
also contain radiunn, and if so it might
be possible to prove its presence by
luminous rays. But he could not see
a single luminous ray when the stone
was put in darkness.
Mr.. Obalski submitted the stone to
Gustave Rinfret, one of the parlia-
mentary draughtsmen, and the latter
exposed the stone to a Photographic
plate in a dark room, where it was left
for about twelve hours. At the end Of
that time it was found that the stone
had been photographed upon the plate.
Several similar experiments made after
that have had the same result, SO that
it is believed that the stone and other
similar ones to be found in the Lac du
Pied des Monts mine contains radium

Radium in Mica.

Radium in the mica deposits of the
Eastern and Western provinces of Can
ada Is an alleged discovery that has
caused a stir here. Mr.. Obalski, gov
ernment inspector Of mines, is certain
that the rare metal will be found in
quantities.
Mr.. -Obalski found two years ago In
a mica mine in Charlevoix county,
Quebec, curious mineral which, as
he stated in his official report at the
time was composed Of oxide Of ura-
mum and other valuable but little
known substances. The specimen was
of dark color, dense and covered with
q sort of yellow substance.
In other mica mines he found stones
resembling the first one. but while in
the first case he was able to distin-
guish the presence Of oxide of uranium,
he could not vouch for 1t In the other
stones which he found.
