A Wedding Which Occurred Early Yes-
 terday Morning.
 A wedding of much interest was that of Miss Mary E. Carleton, daughter of Mrs Peter Carleton of 501 Whitney avenue and Dennis A. Keane secretary of the Yale Brewing company, which was very quietly celebrated at St. Marys R. c. church yesterday morning at 6;30 o'clock by the pastor, Father Leo M. Heagan, o. P.
 The bridesmaid was Miss Susan E. Hyland and the best man, James A. Ryan of New York.
 A wedding breakfast for the imme- diate families was served by Landlord White at the homet of the brides moth- CT.
 MT. and Mrs. Keane will sail Friday on the Celtic for two months tour abroad. They will first visit Ireland and later will spend some time on the continent.
 The bride Is a very charming young lady and has until recently lived in St. Patrick's parish where she has been prominent and valued worker in the ladies aid society.

" 1,19S of population, Massachusetts one to every 1,472 Rhode Island one to every 1,5S1 of population.
 In 1902, Connecticut one to every l,240, Massachusetts one to 1,4S9, Rhode Island one to every 1,55S, while in the United States there was one patent is- sued to every 3,143 of population.
 Tn 1903 there was one patent Issued to every 2,743 citizens of the United States. Connecticut takes first place again this year with one patent to eve- ry 996 of population, Rhode Island one to every t224 of population.
 In 1904 there were 27,539 patents is- sued, one to every 2771 of population, Connecticut retaining first place with one patent to every 1,O97 of population; Massachusetts one to every 1,351 and Rhode Island one invention to every 1,5O9 of population.
 In 1905 the figures used include those found in the official Gazette of the United States patent office during the period from July 1, 1904, to June 30, 19O5 This is made necessary for the reason that the fiscal year of the pa- tent office expires Decembr 31 in each year, while the material in this report can only include data covering a pe- riod expiring at an earlier date. From the source above referred to it devel- ops that during the period mentioned there were issued to citizens of Con- necticut governmental authorization for 736 patents, 49 designs, 13 trade- marks, three prints and four labels, a total of 835, ON one invention to each 1O89 of population The total number of separate claims represented by these inventions were 543l and the various locations or individuals repre- sented S41. This latter number is ex- plained when it is made knownthat in some instances letters patent were is- sued in the name of two persons.
 Going further into the Investigation discloses the interesting information that of the 16S towns in Connecticut, 66 contained residents to whom pa tents had been issued during the peri cd considered
 To summarize, assuming that Con- necticut holds first place In 1905, in ra- tio of population to each patent issued, l 1t is found that during the thirty years 1876-1905 inclusive, the state has main tained its supremacy in respect to the inventive genius of it's citizens among the aggregation of states and territo- ries for twenty-four of the thirty years, comparisons with which are made in this chapter.
 Moreover, it should be added that In each of the six years when first place as to the ratio of population to patents issued was taken from Connecticut, its place was second, At no time during the thirty5year period considered was Connecticut's position lower than sec ond in comparison with all the states and territories, as regards patents is sued to its citizens with the ratio of population to each patent granted.

BUSINESS MEN HUNT FOR COL
 IIBGE GRADUATES.

Long before the first of the year scores of companies begin active prep arations for adding to their force from four or five to one hundred of the most capable young men who will be gradu- ated from the various colleges, univer- sities and technical schools the follow ing June. Considerable expense is in- volved in these preparations. Booklets describing the attractiveness of each particular business are issued circu- lar letters are sent broadcast to sen iors. and special letters to college pres idents and professors asking them to recommend particularly desirable men; records of the work of preious years are consulted to see where and how the best men may be obtained; special ap- plication blanks are prepared and sent out; clever representatives make trips throughout the country to look over personally the graduating classes. With some firms this work is deemed important enough to warrant the per sonal attention of the president of the company and other high salaried off, cfals, and if the efforts do not result in securing the desired number of men of the right type they consider that their competitors have stolen a march on them. and that they have suffered a real financial loss.-The World To- Day,

HOW FRANCE WILL CONTROL MO-

ROCCO.
 That the French purpose to inaugu- rate period of strenuous reform in Morocco and that they intend to exert to the full their practical paramountcy in Moorish affairs 1t needs no great propetc skill to fortell M. Leroy Beaulieu, Editor of 'Economlste Francasie," the first economic scientist of modern France, undertakes in his paper to point out the most efficascious means whereby France may assure complete control of the situation. He does not fail to see that the greatest opposition is to be expected from the Sultan, whose hopes, that the tradi- tional spirit of uncompromise that sub- sists between Germany and France would have prevented a settlement and so assured the maintenance of his sov- ereighty, have been rudely shattered by the issue of the conference. He points out the remedy by which the Sultan may be compensated for his loss of prestige.
 Though the Sultan will probably curse the hour in which he agreed with Germany to conference, he can hard ly fail to note that as the real ruler of the sherifiat he has been superseded. In order to soften the bitterness of the limitation of his sovereignty, the bank of Morocco will do we'll to concede him a substantial, but reasonable, advance. This it can easily do since it will handle 40 per cent. of the excise returns, the remaining 80 per cent. going to pay the interest on French loans. In every other respect the fiscal control of the French assures a reorganization of the coun- try. Frenee will fiPst undertake the sanitary improvement of the ports and schemes for improving navigation and comerce. The expenditure needed to this end is guaranteed by the duty of 2I5 per cent. on imports valued at 10,- ,00O and producing S250000 yearly. The armed force known as the police will consist of from 2,000 to 2.500 men, with twenty officers and forty noncom- missioned officers, all French and Span- ish. Their maintenance will be secured by provision of s400000 collected on the annual excise returns. The Sultan will have but nominal voice in the control of this body. The French will further proceed to accomplish their pacific penetration by definitely set tling the frontier limits, in pushing for ward their railway into South. Gran, so as to join French Central and North Africa, the ultimate objective of this line being the Niger. Finally the French authorities vii seek the welfare of the Moors by giving them schools of tech- nical as well as ordinary. instruction" Public Opinion.

WHITE CITY BALLOON AsCENTS
Professor Flowers Men Not Daunted by
 Tragedy Nenr Utica.

AAuSS0y NettE UlACHs
 The accident which resulted in the mortal injury of Aeronaut William Johnson near Utica, N. r., Tuesday has not daunted the fearless courage of Professor Flowers company of balloon ists performing at the White City this week. Johnson attempted the double parachute drop, and through some strings breaking on the second para chute he fell nearly 8OOo feet, to the horror of great multitude of specta- tors. This accident happened almost at the very hour on the same day that John Mack performed So successfully his double parachute drop at the White City.
 Yesterday Professor Flower had everything rigged for a triple drop, but as the wind was blowing too strong above he had to be satisfied to make a single drop. He is determined, however, to work the triple drop, and if oondi- tions are anything like favorable this afternoon he will attempt it. He is confident that he can do 1t, as he has never failed yet and he is anxious to show the patrons of the White City this extremely sensational feat of aerial navigation
 The night ascensions, followed by the O,oOO-candle-power searchlight, are marvels in the realm of the sensational and spectacular.
 l Tonight will take place the award of the handsome silver prizes Every one holding coupons should not fail to be present, as the prizes will be award ed positively 80 that there can be no fault found.
 Tomorrow night the fireworks which were postponed last week on account of the Bosses O tn Barn Band will be given in conjunction with the display, this week, thereby insuring an exhibi- tion of double brilliancy.

WALKING ON HOT STONES.

Tn Tahiti men still believe in magic. At certain celebrations they make a bed of redhot stones. A necromancer raises his bamboo wand, moves it slowly from side to side, mounts slow ly to the top of the causeway, stands for an instant with arms raised aloft, lips moving rapidly; then deliberately and carefully steps from stone to stone. A second time he crosses the path of redhot fire, followed by his four disciples
 Through an interpreter all are urged to have faith, and tread the necroman- cer's fiery path. A young Frenchman steps forward, defiantly twirling his little mustache; an American tourist follows; then one or two natives whose daring is applauded by their fellows.
 Once more the neeronnancer steps up the incline of the causeway, always waving his wand. With set lips the novices follow, shrinking fearfully at first, then proceeding with confidence, shading faces and eyes from the fierce radiation of the heated stones. Ac- complaining the transit, they show that their shoe soles were not even singed, but they offer no explanation further than, Don't ask me how it is done; I can't understand it!'
 A bucket of water is brought, one of the red-hot stones dropped into 1t, and up spouts a cloud of steam. The ne- cromancer walks through the crowd, offering himself for inspection and for touch. Like the three children of Holy Writ, 'upon his body fire has had no power, nor is a hair of his head singed, nor has the smell of fire passed on him. ."-The World To-Day.

LEWIS s. wELcH's AFFAIRS.


 It is likely now that Lewis s. Welch of the Yale Alumni Weekly, who through his attorneys issued state ment to the effect that he contemplated carrying his affairs into the bankrupt cy court, will privately make a settle ment with his creditors and there will be no court proceedings. Relatives and friends have come to his rescue and hope to remove him from the financial tangle he has become involved in through his efforts to finance the Saddle Mountain Mining company. MT. Welch's statement that he was financial enbar- rassed has not resulted, so far as known, in any attempt on the part of any creditors to force him into involun- tary bankruptcy.
