FAIR PLAY.

We are gland to see that Capt
 Alfred T. Mahan, U. s. N. has come to
 the defence of the Russian General
 Stoesseg whose heroic defence of Port
 Arthur, which will be remembered as one of the most notable in history, has
 been made the occasion of much igno-
 rant and hostile criticism on the theory
 that the leader of forlorn hope should
 surrender when he finds the odds too
 heavey against him. As Capt. .Mahan so
 we'll and so forcibly says: 'here app
 pears to me a very general failure on the part of the public to recognize
 that, appealing as is the misery of the
 brave soldiers to our every sentiment
 of humanity, they are not dying have not died-in vain. Whatever the up-
 shot they have given their lives, or are still giving their endurance, not merely to save barren fortress, but to, hold in check, by the irnperious nec- essity laid upon the enemy to reduce
 the place, a body of foes, in army and and in the fleet, whose hands would otherwise be at the throats of Kuro-
 patkin or Vladivostock. It Is no idle
 sentiment of military punctilio, but the
 strong demands of a military situa-. tion that justify, may compel, the re-
 sistance, which, whatever may here
 after befall, will cover stoessal and his troops with undying honor. And
 And in view of such suffering shall those who have in 1t no part save sympathy, rising little above idle sen 1 ti,aent |, advocate interference, as we
 hear frnni time to timer Have llnt the men who have done what Kuropatkin and Stoessel and their valiant soldiers have done "a right to demand hand off I till their Government asks interposi- tion? am no partisan in this matter;
 so far as I could understand the situa- ton Japan had no recourse but to de- clare war and at the moment she did. But unless the paramount interests or the national honor of other nations are at stake they have no right to inter fere; least of all, we might say, one which, within the memory of numbers 1 of us still living, has twice seen the shadow of intervention looming over our righteous qurrel. Let there be fair lplay. From the Army and Navy Journal

was opened yesterday morning. Ihe number and beauty of the articles dis played make really fairylalld display. Upon entering one is struck by the col bring, the freshness and daintiness ap- parent on all sides. The usual quantity of beautiful embroideries, lace work, china and woodwork are on exhibition and sale, with many novelties and the host of small articles for which 1t seems the New Haven exchange has a Well- earned reputation.
 The work displayed covers a large field both in variety and range of value "a 25-cent mark here, a $2O there; a gingham apron or sweeping cap on one side, trifie as useless perhaps as it is dainty on the other. Let it be said, however, that the day of useless trifies has largely gone by; a definite reason for existence being evident in the dain- tiest and most attractive work. Be sides the artistic and useful handiwork, the lunch room and domestic depart ment make strong bids for favor-the latter being piled high with good things and meeting, as always. with ready sale.
 To-day will be also opening day, and from now until Christmas the exchange promises unusually good things, both for ttseif and the public. ss

COLONY HISTORICAL SOCIETY
The Late Charles Hervey Townshend-
 Tn Memoriam.

The Late Charles Hervey Townshend-
 Tn Memoriam.
 At a meeting of the directors of the New Haven Colony Historical society held on Tuesday evening, November 29. 1904. the following memorandum, offer ed by Hon. s. E. Baldwin, was unani- mously adopted and ordered to be re-. corded:
 The directors of the New Haven Col ony Historical society desire to place on record their sense of the loss which 1t has sustained by the death of one of the board Captain Charles Heryey Townshend- -sincethe last annual meet ing of the board.
 He was one of the most indefatigable of antiquaries, and thoroughly versed in the local lore of New Haven colony.
 His publications have been important contributions to the history of Connect- icut and of the waters by which it is bounded.
 His researches in English record of fees were prosecuted with Judgment and success; and few. Americans not making 1t their profession nave obtain ed more information from such sources as to family genealogy, at first hand, by personal examination.
 His contributions to the papers of this society represent much labor, we'll bestowed, and have helped to throw new light on points that had been doubtful or obscure. Volume ". con- tains his valuable sketch of the early history of Long Island Sound, and Vol tune VI. his account of the Quinnipiac Indians. He also supplied the founda- tion of Professor Dexter's article in the latter volume on the First Public Lii brary of New Haven.
 As life member of the society and a director for more than quarter of a century, he heartily identified himself with it's interests and gave them his sympathy and support. He was a good citizen and took an active part in pro- noting the improvements in the harbor of New Haven, the large expenditures upon which in the construction of the breakwater at the expense of the Unit ed States were in no small degree the result of his personal efforts.
 The secretary is requested to send a copy of this minute to Mrs. Townshend and to communicate it to the society at it's next meeting, and to the daily press.

WRITING A PLAY.

AncientAncient Methods Seen Much In Vogue To-day. In the days before the Garden of Eden knew Adam and Eve. Marigold Mooley, the COW, was the greatest liv- ing actress. Knowing this, we'll meaning storSS, who was then the wise st of all birds, understood to write a. play in which Miss Mooley could exhibit her histrionic talent. He con- fefred with MT. Fox, of the firm of
 K Fox, Sons Co & Relatives, Thea trical Managers" who managed Miss Mooley.
 Good, said Mr. Fox. you have the right idea-go ahead" Much pleas- led the playwright set to work, and in few months brought back the follow ing simple drama

 Well, 2 said the mannager, after hearing, it's not bad, the atmosphere IS all right and the jumping scene is great"
 What do you think of the character of the little dog?'" said the dranlatist, Don't yo uthink his laughter will add a good touch of comedy to the piece?'' m not what our audiences want; they pay their money to see Miss Mooley, and you must make more of her part. You needn't cange the plot: E just give her all the good bits.''
 How can I?" said the dramatist. That's your business and not mine" said MT. Fox. But it's easy enough for instance, wy make So muc of the cat's part? Why not say. The COW and the fiddler 49w eiis

 That's better" said the manager, but there are still two or three places that need work.
 Don't you think the audience will get little tired of the COW before the last scene?" said the dramatist.
 My boy" said the manager, ';you're not writing for a stock company. Miss Mooley is a star, and the people want to see her all the time. Now, you feature the moon too much; we don't

New Haven Theater.

There is an unwritten lava law mightier than the law on the statute books-an this forms the central idea upon which The Unwritten Law, :" which comes to the New Haven theater tonight for three nights and Saturday matinee, is founded. It is the law of nature that gives us the right to pro- tect our homes and wives against the |libertines who would attempt the de- struction of both. Mark E. Swan, the author, has written powerful story of heart interest-one that will appeal to every man, woman and child, and in which a true story of human love and passion is woven.
 A strong acting cast is headed by Miss Miriam Shelby, one of the strong est of the young leading women. She is tall, stately and of the pure Spanish type. The gowns she will wear in the production are creations of the dress makers art.
 Charles M. Seay will play the old 5oculist, and is an excellent character actor; Lucille Allen Walker is admir- ably fitted to the maiden who hates men, and the old oculist in particular. Of course he wins her, and this court ship is one of the most ludicrous that #could be imagined. J. J. Fitzsimmons lis the young Yale student who causes much of the old peoples troubl, and is seconded by Eleanora Allen, a clever ingenue. This is quartette of clever fun-makers, and all will thoroughly enjoy the troubles they cause Seat sale now open. &gs

care anything about the moon
 But the COW must have something to jump over, or the scene doesn't mean anything" said the dramatist.
 The manager leaned back in his easy chair and lit a fresh cigar.
 That's all right from literary standpoint, said he, ''but what they want isn't literature, it's action. As long as they see Miss MooIey jump, they don't care what she jumps over. Besides, moons are played out, the public are tired of 'em. Now, you must let her jump and leave the rest to the stage manager"
 Anything else?" gasped the play wright.
 Sure" said the manager. You waste too much time before Miss MooI- ey comes on. Now, you must work her into the Hey, diddle diddle' part. Oh and you say. The little COW laughed to see the sport Now. the audience doesn't care anything about sport; all it goes to the theater to see Is Miss Mooley.'
 But we must have lahgh," ob- jected the dramatist.
 Sure" said the manager, "only it must be at Miss Mooley.''
 All right" said the dramatist.
 Two months afterward he submitted the following:
 Hey, cowdle. the COW and the cowdie. The COW jhmped, the little COW lahghed, and the COW ran away with the spoon That's much nor like 1t, said the manager. Read it to Miss Mooley to- morrow" The lramatist was happy. "oh. one thing more sair the man. ager. Before you read it to Miss Mooley, change that spoon scene.
