Not in Love Because She Bushes.
You may know ifa girl likes you by
the way she behaves when you meet
her. Don't be taken in by the mere
fact that she changes color. Girls
do that from thousand different
causes, and there is no reason why
she should be in love with you merely
because she blushes.-Health.

A BUSY SATURDAY NIGHT.

Suburban Trolley Cars Brought Thou
 sands of Shoppers to This City.
 Last Saturday night was an exceed ingly busy one, not only for the store keepers, but for the trolley company. The great benefit of the Derby and Wallingford lines was clearly demon strated, as thousands of people were conveyed to this city over these lines. The cars on all the other lines were we'll patronized, and the railway com pany found 1t necessary to put on a large number of extra cars, thus giving the best service possible.
 The stores all did a very big business, which goes to show, as one storekeeper remarked, that times are prosperous.
 The police officials were very much surprised because there were so very few people brought in during the night on charges of intoxication. One off cial stated that he never saw as quiet time in police circles the night before Christmas as was that of Saturday night.

SHIPPERS FULLY PROTECTED
STARIE LINE AND THE GLEN
 ISLAND LOSSES.

Mr. starin VIII Compensate All Lawful
 Claims for Damages by the Burning
 of the Boat.
 Attorney James D. Dewell, jr., return ed to his home in this city Saturday night from New York city, where he has been attending the hearings on the burning of the steamer Glen Island be- fore the United States board of steam boat inspectors, which has been inves- tigating the disaster. Attorney Dewell Is representing the interests of the Starin company and he IS assisted by Attorney Avery F. Cushman, of New York city, who is a partner of Attorney DeweI in New York city. Attorney Cushman is an old maritime lawyer.
 Attorney Dewell stated last night that MT. Starin feels very badly about the accident. because during the fifty years that he has been in the steamboat business this Is the first accident re- sulting in loss of life on any of his boats since that time.
 Divers in the employ of the Merritt & Chapman Derrick and Wrecking company have been constantly at work to recover the bodies of the victims of the fire, but they have met with no suc- cess, and Mir. DeWell stated last night that the hope of their recovery has passed away.
 The hulk of the Glen Island now lies within 800 feet of the shore at Glen Cove and within stones throw of some of the summer cottages at that place. Part of the hull is above water and the sInokestack looms up as silent 1 reminder of the tragedy.
 It Is probable that the bodies were consumed in the fire and only the ashes remain somewhere in the wreckage. The cargo owners. that is, those who, are not already insured. will upon pre- sentation of claims showing their title to the goods and their value, be paid. These adjustments will be made just as promptly as Is possible under all the existing circumstances. While it is not necessary for Mir. Starin to insure the cargo, he has been in the habit of do- ing 1t for the protection of his ship pers.

l N
 A TRIUMPH OF GOOD MANNERS.
 One is apt to forget that the action of a government may often be like an editorial article, the expression of but "a single mind. Tn the days of cabinets and so-called responsible government the world is not so much exposed as formerly to the whim of ruler, or to the errors of an ignorant or corrupt junta of ministers. The domineering of a Napoleon is not to be expected or endured, nor, outside of an oligarchy can one conceive of such folly as al- lowing the Russo-J Japanese difference to drift into war. But, short of the ulti ma ratio reguni, there is much that a government can do or omit, where ,t. supposed invasion of it's rights is com cerned, that may stamp its character and define It's rights to consideration, as a gentleman is known among his fol-. lows. We are not now speaking of the superficial courtesies of routine dipIoS macy, but of the trying exigencies of a, crisis such as the incident of the firing of the British trawlers. A more deli cate situation for both governments it is difficult to conceive. Each country contains a jiilgo element which, after the strained relation of recent years, seems to be sleeping upon its sword. Add to this England's actual injury and Russia's sensitive pride, and a half knowledge of the facts, and the diplo- i1latic problem was colossal The avoid ance of war was fortunate but not for tuitious. It resulted from the exercise of exact traits which Lord Lans-
 downe would exhibit in his personal in tercourse firmness with forbearance respect for another's feelings, a desire not to humiliate, and, withal, a strong sense of justice. The prompt and sim cere expression of sympathy by the emperor was most creditable and made less difficult the solution of arbitration flor such virtually though not poni- nally, 1t is. So far the affair has been triumph Of good manners, and so far as possible the deplorabie error Is In a fair way of rectif1cation.
 Before the gentler measures of inter- national high breeding the mischievous maxim, Our country, right or wrong must increasingly give way. Willing ness to acknowledge fault, disinclina- tion to meddle in the affairs of others, sympathy for the weak against the op-. pressor, patience and reason as against petulance, rashness and force, are as possible to a nation as to an individual. A people should be as jealous of the national gentlemanliness as of the na- tional credit From the Editorial in the Century.

YALE's NEW LIBRARY.

First Part to Stand Between Chitten-
 den Wing and Old Building.
 From a semi-oficial source, it is as- certained that certain general plans for the new Yale library to be built from the Ross legacy of s25O, 900 are pretty definitely settled.
 The Chittenden wing will be pre- served and the first part of the new li- brary will probably be built between that wing and the present old universi- ty library, which will thus be preserved for some years.
 The new structure will probably use up the whole legacy of s25O.O0O and will supply all university library needs for twenty-five years to come, after which the permanent enlargement of the IT, brary will be considered.
