MERTDEN WOMAN'S NINETY. .'-- FOURTH BIRTHDAY.

Mrs. Mariva Hatch Davis, mother of Judge W. F. Davis and Dr. Charles H. s. Davis, celebrated her ninety fourth birthday May 19 at the home of Dr. Davis on Pleasant street, where she has been residing for several years. Many friends called on Mrs. Davis dur ing the day, bringing hearty cengratu- lations and good wishes accompanied by beautiful gifts, among them being a large array of flowers. No formal gathering took place, as Mrs. Davis did not feel strong enough. Miss Julia A. Tibbals of this city, who is ninety years old and an intimate friend of Mrs. Davis, took tea at the Davis home. .zs
 Mrs. Davis was born in Springfield, Mass, May 19, 1S11 coming to Meriden in 1850 to reside. Her husband, Timo- thy F. Davis, died in 1870, and Mrs. Davis lived at the old homestead, 179 East Main street, for many years af- terwards.

10 ACCOMMODATE ALUMNI.
University Authorities to Prepare Lists
 of Lodgings for Commencement

 University Authorities to Prepare Lists of Lodgings for Commencement Week.
 In order to accommodate the increas- ing number of the alumni returning to visit Yale at commencement, June 24- 2e. the authorities have decided, in ac- cordance with the advertisement on another page, to prepare a list of suita- ble places where rooms may be ob- tained and also, if possible, board. This latter is not an essential, though often convenient, as the dining hall will undoubtedly be able to care for a large number, most of the undergrad uates having returned home at that time. Printed lists will be given grad uates on their arrival, or sent them at their home on request, thus enabling them to engage rooms in advance. People wishing to rent rooms or fur nish board at this time will confer a favor on the university authorities by sending to Box 906, Yale station, infor- nation concerning prices of each by day and by week It should be under , stood, however, that the. university does not engage or reserve rooms for any one; it simply prepares list of suitable places and allows them, the graduates, to select such places as may meet their needs, according to location and price .~t

NOT AN EVIDENCE OF AGE.

Wrinkles are not an evidence of age, they are simply signs of the starving pores of the skin. which proper nour- ishment will prevent and eradicate. Paxto Skin Food will cleanse the clog ged pores. feed the skin tissues, pre- vent and remove wrinkles. and make the complexion clear, fresh and youth ful.
 There is nothing just as good" therefore don't be fooled by accepting cold cream for skin food. It may be cheaper but it won't do the york; If your druggist does not keep it send soc to The R. Paxton Co, Boston, Mss, and get large jar, postpaid.

NAVY AS A TRAINING SCHOOL.

It Is Not to Be Used as Reforma-
 tory, But It's Discipline May Save
 Wayward Youths.
 Admiral Kenpff, who is now on visit to this city, expresses the view that the naval training ship is the ideal place for the boy who, under lax parental training, islikely to become in- corrigible and grow up recruit to the criminal classes and a nuisance to the community. Taken from bad influences and placed under the discipline of a training ship, with such instruction in studies as they would have ashore, there is possibility of their becoming good citizens and good seamen. The Navy has need of this class.
 There is a distinction between the wild boy, who has simply started on the wrong path, and the instinctively vicious lad, who naturally gravitates to criminal ways In consideration the admiraPs suggestions, it is we'll to bear this in mind. It would certainly be a mistake to have the Navy classed as a reformatory to which youthful crim- inals should be committed as they are
  punishment and correction.
 The purpose has been for long time to raise the standard of enlist ment in the Navy, to bring to it bet ter class of young men and boys, who will adopt the Navy as a career, recog- nizing that a career is, in fact, open there, as it is. Certainly the proposi-s ton to use the Navy as a reformatory for vicious and incorribible boys would undo considerable of the good work which has been done under the pres ent standard of enlistment, which re quires a sound physique and a good moral character of all applicants for service in the Navy
 There is many a boy, not naturally criminal or vicious, who is yet be- yond the parental control, and who is likely, if his course in life is not in terrupted, to bring up in criminal ways. Lads of this kind might we'll be enrolled in the Navy, both for their benefit and for the good of the serv- ice. Many of them would doubtless turn out we'll under the service treat ment. But it would be a serious mis- take to have service in the Navy be- come synonymous in the public mind with service in a reformatory, or to have naval apprentices classed in the public estimation with the inmates of a reform school for, youthful crim- inals. It might be a good thing for the youthful criminals to have to serve in the Navy rather than in the reform school, but it would be little rough on the Navy. Some of the States, recognizing the value of naval training and discipline as reformatory agencies, have estab- lished school ships, under command of retired naval officers. There are three such vessels-the Enterprise, supported by the State of Massachu- setts; the Saratoga, supported by the State of Pennsylvania, and the St. Mary's of New York. They have done good work, and many graduates of these nautical training schools have become fine seamen and competent of- ficers in the merchant service. Whether it is advisable for the Federal Govern ment to supplement- these vessels with one under naval control is open to agument.-Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
