THE SUMPTUOUs DRESS AND
 JEWELS OF A MAHARANEE.

The dress of an Indian princess is proverbialIy the most gorgeous in exis- tence, but it is not often that the wife Of native ruler allows herself to be seen en grande tenue. A correspon- ,f9nt from Mussourie, however, sends the following description of the dress Of the Maharanee of Vizianagram, whose jewels are renowned even in India, the rajah being one of the wealthiest of the native princes:
 At a recent large dinner party which the rajah gave, we saw the Ma haranee after dinner before the men came in. She talks English beauti- fully, and is the prettiest native wo- man I have ever seen, She is very short, and inclined to be stout, and has a soft, sweet faae and 8 complex ion not at all dark for an Indian lady.
 "She was dressed in silk muslin from head to foot, a sumptous design of red roses being woven into the material, which was shot with blue according to the native fashion of weaving. The skirt was very full, and gathered into an enormous bunch in front drawn through her girdle, and with it she wore an elaborate blouse of the same material. Her beautiful black hair, of which she has enormous quantities, was dressed in close plait at the poised lovely. crown, which took the enhanced by the addition of palpably false fringe, which, it was said, her . English nurse had told her was the height of fashion in Europe. As per- sonal adorIln1ent she wore a huge nose ring with an enormous diamond set in lit, while another large diamond was liked in marvellous way in the cen tre of her forehead. On her head was poised lvoely crown which took the form in front of a bird studded with diamonds and emeraids, the back be- ing composed of wide floral spray of large and small diamonds. A pendant oi elneralds and other. gems was worn loosely round the waist In Greek style. The emeralds--both cut and uncut were of enormous size, while the other l VI IL bflo NQlAlpOGtN look nothing in comparison with them in size or brillfancy. To complete the dazzling effect, long chain, two inch es wide, was twisted round her neck This was a marvel of native workman ship, and was composed of countless small stones-diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, etc., set in various pat terms, the ends being finished with a small tasseI of pearls. .
 ''The Maharanee's little boy is three years old, and is the most con1ical lit- tie person imaginable, He talks En- l glish, Telegu, and Hindustani already and is as lively and intelligent as a child Of treble his age. He may be seen at the band in the evening, dress. ed in red velvet with a little Scotch cap trimmed with black ribbons, his long hair being plaited halfway down his back, where it is fastened and l tied by his cap ribbons. His greatest amusement seems to, consist in mimic, ing the bandmaster, and this, although it gave him evident satisfaction, caus, ed no little dismay to his suite of at- tendants. ."-St. James'c Gazette.

LIFE ON A TORPEDO BOAT.
Men Have Hard Time in Heat and
 Small Quarters.

| AA1Cll IIGLfS d 44dLO t4llC HI 4ASoS OlAN i Small Quarters.
 l Each of the torpedo craft carries a
 crew of from 60 to 70 men, and when l one considers the size of the space in l which it is necessary for these men | to move about in operating the power | full yet intricate machinery and find sleeping space also, one must marvel ; at the life aboard a vessel of this class. To live in quarters the size of an or dinary dry goods box is not the life | that the everyday American cares to
 essay. To endure such life for hours at 8 stretch without sleep or food, and to stand exposed in all climates
 such is life aboard a torpedo boat for 1 officers and men alike. There is no | discrimination; that is why one sees 1 bearless faces and slender figures be- hing the coming towers when these long, three and four stacked flyers run into port for coal and water at fre-
 quent intervals, which is necessary on account of their limited space for carrying these necessities. In the comparatively smooth waters of this
 harbor the torpedo boats look very
 much like the motor racers in dis
 guise, but they are far from being the
 pleasure craft. that the autoboats are
 and they go where the helmsman of a | motor boat would not dare to venture. 1 The ocean is the place to see the l torpedo boat under way, and then life on board the craft can be seen in it's true light. Sticking their bows into the long, green swells, the spray flying above the signal staffs forward and the solid green water washing the low
 decks continually, is but one picture of life on the rolling deep in a mere shell of 8 boat. In the harbor and 1 when at sea in fair weather the tor ! pedo boats run with matches open, the commanding officer stands on watch clear of the forward coming tower, and the crew lounge on deck, but
 when the little craft begins to roll and plunge in the seaway the matches are l closed, and, barring the stumpy | smokestack, the vessel resemble baby
 whales at play. It is then that the crew suffer most while at sea. All
 must remain below decks, or place themselves in jeopardy. To venture ! above while the vessel is plunging about the sea with decks awash would
 be extremely hazardous.
 Sometimes the Japanese steward
 will essay to climb along the deck from stern to the forward hatch with
 a smoking dish clasped tightly in his 1 hands. He is in a race with the seas. 1 If he reaches his destination forward he is lucky. If the seas get there first
 the fishes get the food. In the event
 the seas overtake him then he has to scramble back to the galley and await another chance. This is an amusing incident of life aboard, to watch the steward essay the trip forward in 1 rough weather. Intense heat prevails
 below decks when the craft is under
 way. with matches closed, and the hu-
 midity is one of the inconveniences to which the crew of 8 torpedo boat

CHANGES IN TROLLEY ROAD
WILL BENECESSITATED SHOULD
 PROPOSED "CUTo PLANS

Be Adopted by the City-State Street
 Line Would Probably Run from Olive Street to the Depot Over Present Cut
 ROute-JOint Conference to be Held
 This Afternoon by City Commission
 and Railroad Officials to Take Final Action.
 The plan of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford railroad of putting the State street tralley tracks down in- to the cut has been a topic of business men in that quarter of the city yester- day.
 From the best information it appears 1 that the natural entrance of the State street tralIey cars bound for the depot into the cut will be at the junction of Olive and State streets. These cars will consequently pass, in the new or der of things, under the Grand avenue, Court, Chapel, Wooster, Fair and Water street bridges.
 l The plan as talked of is to double track the trolley along this new route. Passengers bound to the depot on this 1 route will descend to the cars to cover I ed platforms. Passengers bound in a direction leading away from those cars by another stairway leading onto the bridges.
 1 These stairways, as proposed, will be the easiest type for foot passengers to make their way over. There will re- main the use of the trolley transfers from the corner of State and Elm street for people who do not wish to go into the "cut."
 Mayor Studley stated yesterday that he would not call the meeting of the | board of aldermen to receive the report I from the "cut' commission upon tn negotiations with the railroad company Inow being concluded, until after the conference is held with President Mel. len this afternoon. While the mayor does not anticipate any hitch whatever in the final settlement as agreed upor he thinks that the calling of the alder linen together to act upon the report would be somewhat premature.
 Mayor ,studley said that the report which the commission will make to tn Ialdernlen will be brief in form and vii state what has, been accomplished by the commission. The members of the lc0nlm:ttee will supplement this witt lexrlAnarlcns of details.
 Alderman Maxwell stated yesterda, thlt hc thought that it might be g wise tking ii the board of aldermen tablee tfr commission report until al the members have a thorough chance to study and understand the plans.
 The conference of the ''cut" commis. sion with President Mellen will be helt
 this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, and it probable that Corporation Counsel Dag: gett will be invited to attend.
 If permission is given the road tc go ahead it will begin at once on tn, plans for inducing and improving the cut. It Is expected that there will bt no delay in tearing down some of tht buildings to make room for the i'm T provements.

 of the Exhibitors.
 The continued demands for space in the October Food and Industrial expo sition gives the New Haven Busness Mems association even ffrmer convic- tions than before of the magnificent success of the coming show. Many lo- cal merchants and manufacturers are manifesting a lively interest in the show and there promises to be much rivalry between the local and out-of- town exhibitors. E. J. Rowe, one of the managers of the show, will visit New Haven again this week and several inn portant announcements are looked for regarding 2 the Special features. The preliminary arrangements have just been completed and the work of prepa- ration for the opening of the big show is we'll under way.
 The secretary of the Business Mems association. F.. J. Linsey, last night ex- pressed the opinion that if the armory was twice as large as it is, every foot Of exhibition space would be sold. Present indications are that from tWen- ty-five to fifty applications for space will have to be turned down by the committee on exhibits. This tremen- dous demand enables the committee to take only the best and the show will be the best ever seen outside of New York,
 Chicago and Boston.
