pAm FOE TIE 4HAMEs.

These are days of great ideas. One of the latest is a plan for the improve ment of the Thames river, which the corporation of the city of London and the Thames Conservaney are to bring to the attention of the English House of Commons. This improvement con- sists in constructing across the River Thames, from GraVesend to Tilbury, some thirty miles below London and not a great ways from the North sea, dam or barrage, similar to that which has been built across the Nile, this dam to be from eighty to one hundred feet in width, and to have four openings or locks capable of accommodating three times the number of vessels that now pass up and down that part of the river. At present the daily average is 22o craft, but many of these are small vessels, for which special lock facilities will be provided. It will be the intention of working these locks by electricity with all the modern methods of speedy oper- ation. The dam itself would permit of a surface roadway across the Thames at this point, while during the time of construction tunnel would be built in the solid monolitil of the base.
 From strategic point of view 1t is claimed that the dam would afford a valuable solution of the question of the defence of the Thames river by effectu- ally blocking that waterway and pre- venting the approach of any raiders, '' submarine or otherwise, while incident lally providing a good harbor for the fleet. But the end chiefly aimed at is Icommercial in it7 character. At the present time navigation of large craft on the Thames is made inconvenient and difficult by the rise and fall of the tide, which forces large vessels at ebb water to delay their progress in or out in consequence of the lack of floating depth. The dam would provide fresh water basin carried up to the present high water mark, thus making the docks on the river accessible at all hours of the day or night, irrespective of the tide.
 The estimated cost of this improve ment is eS,65s,oOO, and it is thought that the work could be completed in three years time. That's nothing for these days.

TITLES F. MILLER.

Willis P. Miller, who died yesterday afternoon, was one of New Haven's good and useful citizens. He was a business man of uncommon sagacity and industry. He was the manager of, or connected in other ways with, many business enterprises, and in all of them his judgment, foresight, skill and pru- dence were valuable and valued. He succeeded in what he undertook by hard work and the exercise of rare ability.
 His talent and character won him the respect and confidence of all who were associated with him, and his merit was known and recognized not only in New Haven, but throughout the State, and in other parts of the country. Although immersed in business he had lively interest in public affairs and all that concerned the welfare of his fellow be- ings, and was helpful to many good causes. He was kind and companiona- ble. devoted to his family and friends, cheerful in greeting and in conversa- tion, and warmly appreciative of the finer things of life. The many who miss and mourn him will have the con- solation there is in the memory of his long, honest. honorable and useful career.

that united action alone can check the manufacturers and tailors from reviY- ing the hated spindle variety.
 That the blessings Of loose trousers can be appreciated by all who have worn them-ineluding the once famous bloomer girl-is conceded by all It is useless to describe their merits. claim the strikers; they speak for themselves, a fact which is true of the patterns in many instances. . .sm Why, honestly" says the dapper young man who wears a 30-inch thigh lenect, they're the most comfortable things in summer time. Coors no name for it. Why, if you get nice light material and have the legs made good and wide by tailor who knows his business what do you care if the people stare at you. You're probably a good sight more comfortable than they are"
 No one claims there is any particular beauty about the wonderful extreme I in size which some youthful fashion
 plates have the hardihood to assume.
 Conservative old ladies stare in awe at the remarkable results of tailor's hand iieraft, and they have been known to forget themselves long enough to turn so as to get another look at the full tobjects which SO bring them back to the Idays of the hoop skirt fashion. Fashion able people who are undoubtedly olde enough to be grandfathers and grand
 mothers have said slurring things right

LARGE LOSS.

What pity Thomas L. Watson, can- .didate of the Peoples party for Presi- dent, and very oratorical, isn't coming to New Haven to talk! Those who made an earnest appeal to his man. agers to let him come here knew what they were doing. He can talk some, ana don't you forget it. This is the way he let 'em have it in Kansas City: Why doesn't Parker get out of my way? I'm the only Jeffersonian Demo- crat-why stop me? Give me the papers and the money and the 6,500,000 who followed Bryan and let me get at 'em. The way to whip is to fight. I'd make Mrs. Roosevelt at least ask Theodore who had hit him. I'd fight-and Parker won't. Somebody has got to do the work. I'm willing. My first con- sideration is to do my duty. The sell out in St. Louis was disgusting. Those men had no right to sell you out to Wall street. While others were doing this the call came to me to save the Democracy. I didn't butt in. Democ- racy was suffering with tears in her eyes-where were her defenders? The call came to me to fight for Jefferson- ian Democrats and laid down my pen and took up the work, and I'm going to stay in it. They didn't pay much attention to me for awhile, but now the paragraphists, the editorial guns and the caricaturists are finding me out. Let 'em come-I welcome it. They are afraid of me now. This had to start and we started it, .
 We give this specimen so that the people of New Haven can know what they have missed. It is quiet here and some stirring talk is much needed.

4 BuSfNEsS OPENING.

Some people who are looking for business opening might, it appears, iprofitabIy look at alligators, The mouth of an alligator might, we suppose, be described as business opening, but there is more business in an alligator lthan that. Consul E. H. Plumacher of IMaracaibo, Venezuela, who lives where lalligators live, thinks well of them as lpayers. He says: Though but few al. lligator skins are sent abroad from here, lit is not on account Of scarcity of alli- gators. It is strange that nobody has taken up the hunting of these reptiles.
 They are here in the lakes and lagoons ! and rivers In untold numbers and of 1 all sizes. The skins are well worth se- touring, and alligator oil brings a high price, being used for medical purposes. In the Rio de Gro and the Rio TarTa
 have seen thousands of large alligators which came up to deposit their eggs on
 the sand-banks during the dry season. It is the same in all the hundreds of streams which flow into the lake of
 Maracaibo. Alligator hunting is fine sport, and, in my opinion, would be a paying business.
 This looks like good tip. Perhaps
 there is as much money for some peo- pie in hunting Venezuela alligators as 1! in hunting Wall street sharks.

Quoting Mir. Schurz's dictum that the government must not be controlled per- manently by one political party, the Toronto Sun nevertheless believes that the tendency of party government is clearly in the direction which Carl Schurz deprecates. Serious issues are exhausted, and cannot be artifcially replaced The party which happens to be then entrenched in power, with the advantages of possession and all the patronage in it's hands, there being no strong force of opinion to dislodge it, may become a sort of permanent oligarchy." s@

Some people do not go about doing good for money. The Rev. William, May, who died the other day at Perry vile, Kentucky, was ss years old, and had been preaching for seventy-fve years, but during that time had never accepted a cent of money for his ser vices. He had. 1t is said, married 5000 couples. had baptized 5000 persons and had officiated at 5000 funerals. He was a great horseback rider. using his steed for travelling over his district, but had never been on a train, and in order to make a living conducted a farm. with which he was eminently successful. MT. May was married three times. and leaves twelve children, fifty grandchildren, fifteen great-grandchiI- dren and five great-great-grandchil- dren.
