THE coREAN.

So far as my limitel observation dualifles me to judge the average town Corean spends more than half his time in idIeness and instead of cleaning up his premises in his long intervals of leisure he sits contentedly on his thres- hold and smokes, or lies on the ground and sleeps, with his nose over an open drain from which turkey buzzard would fly and decent pig would turn away in disgust The Japanese quart CTS in Chemulpo. Chinampo and Seoul are as clean as they can be made with outa general system of public sanitation but the difference between these quart CTS and his own seems to make no inn pression upon the average Corean. He remains dirty either from laziness or choice, and not form ignorance of bet ter methods of living. The situation of Chemulpo, on a sloping hillside with q river and a 25-foot tide securing its base, makes the drainage of the town a comparatively easy matter, but until sffle Japanese take it in hand there seems to be little prospect of radical Improvement.

YALEs BIG RECEIPTS.

About $70,O0O Estimated as Football Seasons Total.
 The annual report of the Yale Foot ball association will not appear for several months, but many informal es- inmates have been made of the receipts for the past season. It is thought that the totals from the games this fall will be about $70,00O. At the Yale-H Harvard game here last Saturday there were about 31,000 people, paying $2 each, Yale and Harvard splitting receipts equally. This made about $31, 1000 for each uni- versity At the Yale-P Princeton game the week before there were 22,000 peo- pie, and Yale and the Tigers each took about $22,000 from the crowd. From the Yale Columbia game, which about Il, ,OOO persons attended, the two universities split $22,000. This makes about $64, 900 received by Yale from her three big games of the season. From the minor games Yale played the university will receive perhaps $7O0O more, making up the total of about $70,000 No estimate of the expenses of the team has yet been made.

Death of Highly Respected Resident oi

Death of Highly Respected Resident of
 Yalesville
 Mrs. Temperance Hall Mckenzie died at her home in Yalesville Tuesday evening, death being due to the infirm- tties incidental to old age.
 The funeral was held from the house yesterday afternoon at two o'clock with interment in the Center street cemetery, Wallingford. Rev. w. A. Spin ney, pastor of the First Baptist church at Wallingford, and Rev. B. F. Hurl- burt, pastor of the Paptist church here officiated. The bearers were five grandsons, w. T., Albert s. and Nal colm Mckenzie and A. J. Brown, all ot Yalesville, and Samuel M. Mckenzie of Southington, and a nephew, Robert Mckenzie of Yalesville.
 She was the second wife of the late William H. Mckenzie, and is survived by three sons, Theodore H. Mckenzie of Southington; John M. and George c Mckenzie, of Yalesville.
 William H. Mckenzie, of Tracy, and Jamei A. Mckenzie, and Mrs. A. J Brown, of Yalesville, are children of the late William H. Mckenzie by his first wife.
 Mrs. Temperance Mckenzie taught school in the North Farms district in the building that stood for so many years on the site of the present school building. She was a membertof the First Baptist church, and also of the local Woman's Christian Temperance union. She was born in Wallingford.
 Mrs. McKenzie's husband constructed the stone culverts and bridges between New Haven and Hartford for the Con- solidated railroad, and the Episcopal church at Wallingford.
 Mrs. McKenzie's Christian name Temperance, was most fitting. She was an. earnest worker in the cause oi temperance and did a great work here She was instrumental in the signing of the pledge by many children of the Vil- Iage.-Meriden Journal.

THE MAN WOMAN HIJNTs,

for that reason, the most cherished, H. lusions of man is the idea that he choses his own wife, when as a mat ter of fact, he merely suceunbs to a young person that has marked him for her own as inevitably as smallpox or the black hand. s.-z .s..s.
 The much-quoted statement that any woman can marry any man she wants to, like most other glittering generalities, lacks confirmation in fact. But 1t would be very much trger if the fair participants in the man hunt would devote their attention to a particular man instead of wasting time in a scattering fire. Very often they undertake too much, and in try- ing to bring Tom and Dick and Harry to the proposal point at once fail with all three. The same amount of at tention given to one of the trio would have convinced him that the dearest woman in the world might, with a great deal of persuasion, consent to marry him and make him the most blessed among his kind.
 How this wonderful result is brought about only the girl knows-though very often she doesn't know, but is like the selected husband, just an obedient pawn in the hands of her wise and elderly female relatives. For a homely girl with an experienced mother has just about forty times as great a chance to capture man as pretty girl without one. For the pretty or phan is frequently ingenious enough to think that the feninie role in court ship consists in breathing a whispered yes to the most favored of half a dozen ardent suitors, and So leaves to chance what the wiser maiden accom- plishes by cold science.
 Of course, only widow has the science of man-trapping thoroughly mastered, and sa4ees#s occupation might be. furnished inpecunious relics if some kind philanthropists would only endow' a school ..of courtship for women and employ the widows to give object les Sons in subtle leyemaking to the mex perienced of their sex.
 However, to give reality to the les- sons, men would probably have to take the passive part in them, which fate assigns the prospective husbands in real life. And in that event the wid- ows would probably gobble them up faster than the faculty could supply them. For any widow can marry any man she wants, unless he is warned in time and has himself sentenced to life Imprisonment in Sing Sing or Anh,irn in self-defense. And even then if would be by no means certain that she wouldn't get him.
 We cannot all be widows, however. and those of us not of that privileged class can only eudgel our dull wits over the ''preliminaries of marriage" as they were styled In the Passionist fathers address, and do the best we can in the serene anticipation that some time even our day of widows weeds and wiles may dawn.-New York World.

 F. s. Bunneu, Frank M. Twitchell, Dwight W; Blakeslee, William E. Mitchell. Henry E. Baldwin. Albert NJ. Sperry. s. NJ. Peck, J. F. Peck, E. S.. Peck, and Robert A. Lowe. through their counsel, Hobart l.. Hotchkiss and Williams and Hartman, have made application in the superior court in re- gard to the; affairs of the Omega Steel company of this city to have rescinded an order passed by the court authoriz- I ing the receiver of the company, Charles Hudson, to sue the applicant stock holders for the amount of cer- tain alleged unpaid subscriptions.
 It is alleged by the applicants that said order was obtained by the receiv- CT upon his own application, and with 1 out notice to any of the stockholders and upon representation that the cor poratfon had issued stock that had never been paid, It is stated that said stock was fully paid for in property in | accordance with the laws of the state as appears on the books.
 They allege that there has been no showing by the receiver as to how much stock Is unpaid or who is liable I therefor. That the vast, valuable asset of the corporation is secret process for mak- | ing steel; that the receiver has not dis posed of this secret process, which, if properly disposed of, would realize a \ sum largely in excess of the outstand- ing indebtedness. ..
 That said Hudson has often repre- scented that the secret process was of great value, that he has made no at tempt as receiver to realize the value of said process for the benefit of the corporation. #,. <. I It is also alleged that if the assets of the corporation show a shrinkage it is due entirely to the mismanagement of the receiver s.-sz4s..
 It is further alleged that the attorney for the receiver threatens to sue large number of the stockholders and there by insure great and needless expense,
 Tn another suit brought by Frank M 1 Twitchell against Receiver Hudson, he sets forth practically the same allega- tions and moreover asks that the pro- ceedings by the receiver be held in abeyanoe till after a receiver is ap- pointed in, the state of Maine. He also alleges that Hudson is Ia large, if not the largest stockholder in the corpora tion and that the stock that he (TwichelD holds is non-assessable.
