NOTED NEW HAVEN MAN.

Death of Captain II. ]. Bown. Who
 Commanded the Elm City.
 Mrs. Oscar L. Bradley, of Meriden, received a telegram yesterday noon an- nouncing the death, in New York city, of her father, Captain H. J. Bown. for merIy of New Haven. No particulars were given, but it is thought that he died from a shock. as he had not been in robust health since a shock he suffer- ed year or more ago.
 Captain Bown was for many years commander of the old Elm City, of the New Haven Steamboat line, and was also engaged in coast and foreign trade. He was one of the best-known sea captains in the service and was popular alike with owners and patrons of the boats of which he had charge during his years of service.
 Besides Mrs. Bradley, he leaves an- other daughter, Miss Frederika Bown, and a. son, Harry Bown, freight con ductor on the Northampton division of the Consolidated road.
 Mrs. Bradley went to New York yes terday afternoon and Captain Bradley went last night to assist in the funeral arrangements.

A Grand Display of Fireworks to rake Place There.
 l Not content with turning on 12,000 in
 candescent lights for the first time and allowing the initial illumination of the
 White City to stand by itself, the man. agement of the'l company now comes forward with statement that at g o'clock Saturday night the lights will
 be turned out while an unusually elaborate display of fireworks takes place. The park will open in the aft ernoon, everyone of the 23 amusement devices being ready. It was impossible 1t was said. to complete the electric tower on time and another week will be required to install the 7.S00 lamps, which are to decorate it from top to bot | tom capped with searchlight with a
 range of ten miles. The monkeys and bears for the monkey cage and bear l pit arrived this week. The second coat 1 of white enamel has been put on all 1 the buildings; electric lights have been l tested; boats have been run down the lohutes; trains have been run on the scenic railway; and the miniature rail- lway has backed and puffed it's 6G0 bounds locomotive around the grounds until the rail are polished and ready for
 heavy traffic: three acres of cement walk have been laid within the
 grounds; the shrubbery and the many flower beds are beginning to bloom, and :, there appears to be no reason why the
 park will not be able on Saturday to i handle the crowds as well as 1t will next Labor day when it closes.

Feature of the Game Play by
 Miller.

Feature of the Game a Play by
 Miller.
 Yale won another hard-fought battle from Georgetown at the Yale field yes- terday by the score of to 3. Batting and fielding honors were about even, but Yale hit the ball at just the right time. The feature of the game was a long running catch by Miller in center field. He returned the ball to second, catching Georgetown man asleep and completing a double play. O'Brien and Captain Winslow played sensational ball. Metcalf had an off day at sec- ond, letting three balls get away from him.
 One of the squarest things ever seen on a baseball field was the action of Captain Winslow in the seventh inning in asking the umpire to change his de- cision calling Captain Morgan, of the Georgetown team, out Morgan was hit by his own batted ball, but had not left the box and consequently was not out. Those who understood the rule knew Morgan was not out, and admired Cap tain Winslow's action in having the de cisfon changed.

Climbing Mountains

Is a fascinating and invlgOrating past
time. 1t develops not the body only,
but the mind. The Alpine Peaks OF
Switzerland have their counterpart in
u W country, in the Sierras, the
Cascades, and parts of the Rockies.
The greatest glacial peak of the
United States is Mt. Rainier, in Wash
ington, more than 14,500 feet high.
This magnificent mountain has Is or
more giant glaciers creeping down it's
sides and ~discharging their glacial
detritus into the Columbia river or
Puget sound.
A climb to the summit Of this peak
is a mountaineering feat worthy OF
any mountaineer. For rs cents A. NJ.
Cleland, general passenger agent OF
the Northern Pacific railway, st. Paul,
Minn.-will send to any address an H.
Illustrated booklet called climbing
Mt. Rainer," describing a climb over
the glaciers to the top of the noun

WILL WINTER IN FORT.
Japanese General Says Troops Will
Soon Enter Port Arthur.

Soon Enter Port Arthur.
Chicago, Nov. 24.-The following
cabIegram is from the Daily News
staff correspondent before Port Ar
| thur. who was given an interview with
General Kodama, chief of the Japan
ese general staff, after the general
had made a careful inspection OF the
operations around the Russian strong
hold:
Kodama stretched out his closed
hand. 81 hold Port Arthur here" he
said.
"Where will you winter about Port
Arthur" I asked. you are not build
ing barracks and have only shelter
tents. The Manchurian winds bite
bitterly"
Il shall winter inside" replied the
general. 81 will take the fortress
soon. l hesitate to use my big guns
for fear of hurting non-combatants:
Il cannot say what damage the big
guns will do. This is the first time i'll
history that coast defense guns have
engaged each other. l brought ours
from Japan. Tna Russians cannot use
theirs against Admiral Togo's fleet
and have them turned landward. You
will see two great naval equipments
fighting on land"
"In the end, however," l said, sis
not the boy in khaki the deciding
force?"
no. said Kodama. This is a
question of strategy, tactics and en-
cheering. / have an army large
enough to take Port Arthur. The enc
my has about 10000 troops; we have
about 0 1000. 1t would be impossible
to use more men. The outcome now
depends on ammunition and general
ship"
ct is reported" I said, that you
permit transports and junks to run
the blockade, wishing only the glory
of taking the fortress by assault"
'That is absolutely false" replied
the general. Our blockade is per-
feet. The Russian FORTS" he contin-
ued, "are we'll built on the Belgian
model. Study as we may, we find it
difficult to locate their weakness, they
have carried fertilization to the e x
trteme extent"

which certainly will bring him the
thanks of every good citizen. At the
head of a battalion armed with rakes,
brooms, shovels and other implements
OF toll he descended upon the alleys
and side streets of the city and
started in to give them a long needed
cleaning. The summers accumula-
ton of rubbish, the Russian thistles,
weeds and other unsightly objects
are being raked into piles and burned.
Refuse that cannot be disposed of in
that manner is being carted away to
the city dump.
Some time will be required to COM
nlete the task, but if the present
weather will only continue Mr.. Schnei-
der promises to have the town in more
presentable shape than it has ever
been.

secretary OF Interior Sets Aside
Money for Irrigation Project.
Washington, Nov. 24.-The secre.
tary of the interior yesterday formally
set aside $780, 900, as or much as may
be necessary, from a reclamation fund
for use in connection with the Buford,
Trenton and Bismarck pumping pro-
jects in North Dakota.
This action is based upon the rec
ommendation of the reclamation en-
gineers who have spent part Of the
past summer investigating the FEAST
bility of irrigating lands by means OF
water pumped from the Missouri river.
The Investigations were commenced
about the middle of August by A. H.
STAIRS, an electrical and mechanical
expert, the intention being to deter
mine if it was feasible to irrigate por-
lions OF the state by pumping water
from streams in the western part of
the state, using Ignite fuel.
The secretary has temporarily
withdrawn from all forms of entry for
the reserve in connection with the
Milk river project in Montana, town

DESTRUCTIVE RANGE FIRE.
Country North Of Harlem Burned
over-Hay and Buildings Lost.

Country North OF Harlem Burned
over-Hay and Buildings Lost.
Harlem, Nov. 25.-A large prairie
fire has been raging for several days
some forty-odd miles north of this
place and is still burning fiercely.
Thousands of acres of grazing lands
have been swept over and thousands
of dollars worth of property has been
destroyed.
George Petrie, a prominent sheep
man, whose range is in the devastated
portion, is reported to have lost all OF
his hay, his residence and all of his
buildings, while it is feared that other
sheepmen have seen all of their build
irgs go up in smoke in the past few
days.
1t is said that the fire started over
the Canadian line Monday afternoon
and during the terrific wind storms OF
Tuesday and Wednesday it moved
with startling rapidity over into the
American country, from which all
kinds of antelope, deer and other wild
animals have fled for their lives in
all directions.
The fire is plainly visible tonight
and the sheepmen in it's path will all
be heavy losers, for their winter range
is destroyed, together with all OF their
hay for winter feeding and buildings.
Thousands of sheep have had their
winter range in the fire-swept country
and the owners of these will have to
resort to drastic measures to secure
other ranges, which will be almost i'm
possible at this time of the year.
Mr.. Petrie, one of the heaviest
losers by fire, has been in the vicinity
of Great Falls the past few days buy.
ing sheep, and it is s.ood that
he is now on the way here With them.
Large numbers of men have been
fighting the flames ever since they
started, but have not been equal to the
task. There is some talk Of lynching
the man who was SO careless as to
start the conflagration if he should
be caught.
