Decorating the Hall.
A plain wall covering in a hall is
unlnteresting. unless put on as a back
ground for pictures. Some of the bold
patterned English papers, used above
hall wainscot, give a decoration
strong and agreeable. Burlap and other
cloth effects wear better than paper.
The hall color may be advantageous
ly carried into an adjoining room when
separation is made merely by an open
ing without doors. A slight variation,
however, may give to the hall two
fold stripe, and to the living room
two-toned pattern or a plain surface.
In like manner, the floor covering OF
connecting rooms may be Of the same
material and color. Small rooms are
particularly helped by these plans.
The decoration of the bedroom may
be made from a more personal point ct
view than any other room in the house.
Perhaps this fact, being "the guidance
of choice,' accounts for SO many dis
appointing second-foor interiors. Am
ateur experiments in color, design and
| texture often show vexatious results.

uninitiated, the safest.

aside for day bolster roll or length

covers. For absolute comfort the bed
should be in such a position that the

improving in value right along, and build
ers are raising their standard from year
to year. ...t..
A steady demand on building materials
thru the season still continues. Prices
have, therefore, remained stationary gem
orally. Cement is gaining in demand
right along and as a consequence prices
are firm. Other building materials are
steady without noticeable change.
Much depends upon the weather for the
remainder of the season between now
and winter, but with good building
weather the outlook is favorable for an
exceptionally good fall building season.

activity is to be seen in the fact that
building laborers are scarce and wanted
by nearly all contractors, and more could
,be used to advantage in nearly every
city. There is also a fair demand for
skilled laborers Of the various classes.

 President Mellen felt that the railroad company having expended about half a million dollars in the Sur- chase of property and payment of pros pective damages to carry out the city s wishes in regard to grades, it would be unjust to require the company to eX- pend still larger sum to carry out this proposition, but has finally agreed to relieve the situation as stated, by re- moving the State street tracks, and to place them where the railroad cut at present is, probably by filling in.
 '-The general proposition Of reaching a settlement of the cut improvement mat ter was a difficult one, and the city S cut commission felt that as the rail- road company had conceded the main points in the controversy, it was the commissions duty to acquiesce in the settlement on terms that seem reason able"
 Mayor Studley said that he had lit- tie to add to the statement of the com mission, except to say that the plan, to be recommended is the best possible ar- engagement that could be made.
 Messrs. Homan and Maxwell, the al- dermanic members of the commission, also expressed the opinion that the plan was the best that could be found for the interests of the city, and it was de- cided to accept it.

THE AGNES WON CUP.

Defeated Commodore Coles Yacht, the
 Southern Cross. in Twenty Seven
 Mile Run.
 A week ago Saturday two schooner yachts belonging to the New Haven Yacht club had twenty-seven-mile race from the red buoy off Morris Cove, around the Stratford Shoal buoy and back. The race was between Commo- dore Coles flagship, the Southern Cross, and the yacht Agnes, owned by Attorney c. S. Hamilton. of this city. Both boats were sailed by their owners, assisted by crews of club members, and the race was hotly contested from start to finish.
 As the flagship is about third larger than its opponent, Captain Hamilton was entitled to a time allowance of about half an hour, but he did not take it, both boats starting even, From the start the Agnes took the lead and held it to the finish. The Agnes was for merly the flagship of the Atlantic Yacht club of New York, and is a speedy and well-modelled boat.
 The cup won by Captain Hamilton in the race is beautiful silver one, suita- ply. engraved, and is now on exhibition in Kirby's window on Chapel street. Commodore Cole resides in Waterbury.

According to Patrick Hanri- han, the city attendant at the baths, Ketehale is a frequent visitor and an exceptionally good swimmer.
 He had just removed his clothing and dove from the side. He struck on his head and came up unconscious. MT, Hanrihan pulled him out of the water and sent for. Dr. Baker, who found that there was concussion of the brain and that he had lost control of his body because of an injury to the spine.

Rioting Ends but There is Great Dis
 satiRaction Over Peace Treaty.
 Tokio, Sept. 9-5:SO p. m. (delayed in transmission)- Sakuma's in- structions to the troops preserving or der in the capital have produced fa- vorable impression. Since the procla- mation of martial law there has been no act of violence necessitating the use of arms. Order has apparently been restored, The feeling of unrest has stbsided considerably. f
 Street, cars which were suspended last night, will resume their usual ser- vice this evening. There is every indi- cation, however, of an undercurrent of dissatisfaction verging on indignation against the peace terms among the ed- ucated.
 While an active political agitation continues, the prospect of additional i violence is decreasing. It is impossible to obtain accurate figures of the killed and injured during the rioting. Many of the wounded were conveyed to their homes, thus concealing their condition.
 The Barristers' association is gather ing statistics of the killed and wounded, and it is probable that it will report an accurate list later. The number of ar- rests is withheld, but 1t is estimated that they will amount to many hum dreds.
 Seoul, Korea, Sept. 9.-The unofficial Japanese press here sympathizes with the rioting at Tokio and the burning of official buildings. There is also criti- cism. of the elder statesmen, The Jap anese people here are dissatisfied with the peace conditions and condemn the government for yielding.

 Dover, N. H.. Sept. 1O.-Four persons were, drowned in the Cecheco river here to-day as the result of two accidents. In each case one of the victims met death in trying to save another. The deadE '''.. -' .-,

 George Jones, fifty, residence un- known, seaman on tha Kimball. .u Edward Durkin, of Dover, an operat- or in the, ,Cocheco cotton mills.
 - Durkin, six year old son of Ed ward Durkin.
 Two accidents occurred late in the afternoon. As the schooner Sadie A. Kimball was passing Dover Point house on her way up the river the main boom struck Thomas Keenan, a seaman, and knocked him overheard. A boat was hastily lowered and George Jones, another seaman. was preparing to go to the rescue of Keenan, when he lost his balance and fell from the railing, striking his head on the small boat. Jones fell into the river and sank instantly. Before other members of the schooner's crew could reach Keenan, the latter, too, had disappeared. Up to a late hour neither body had been re- covered. . .
 The second accident occurred an hour and half later. While Edward Dur Y.tL lt-g. r his children, one of the little ones fell into the river. The father immediate ly dove for the child, but was unable to reach him, and evidently becoming ex- hausted by his efforts, sank beneath the surface. The other children remained in the boat, and were assisted to land by a man on the, river bank. Durkin is survived by wife and three small children. The bodies of the father and child were not recovered.
