Over f, 4,0OO lay beneath the green. Some of the grave stones are preserved in the crypt of Center church.
 "The green was always used for pub- lie purposes. General George Washing ton reviewed the New Haven troops there. Benedict Arnold was honored there, but after his betrayal of his country his effigy was burned in that public place. Presidents who have been on the green are Jackson, Polk, Bu- chanan, and as you all remember, Roosevelt
 Next the class sang Sands of the Dee," and then Alfred Bryant Eeeley delivered the valedictory address. He said in part:
 Between the two great Americas lies country to which all eyes have been attracted and the propect of the Pana- ma canal appeals to every loyal Amer ican. It Is a task which great Euro pean nation undertook but in which it was forced to acknowledge failure
 ''The first idea of a canal was started in 1920, Since then there have been
 
 recent was that of DeLesseps, the builder of the Suez canal in 1881. But although backed by great nation he was forced to acknowledge failure. According to the estimate of the com missioners the canal will take nine years to complete. Let us imagine a journey through it in the year 191k. We are approaching the mouth on one of the new passenger steamers and are about to enter. To the southwest are the mountain ranges. Then we are moving into the canal proper. Low foot hills are on both sides of us, and in l front of us is a mountain range. AS We approach it we enter it's locks and go through it's course. We now enter an artificial lake. There we must keep to the dredged channel to float our ship. On either side are walls of rock as high as East Rock. Here many thousands of feet of solid rock had to ba removed.
 Through the Pedro Ligno locks we enter into another lake, whose level is thirty feet lower than the other one Then after another descent of fifty feet we come out on level with the Pa cifio and float out into It's broad ex- panse. The whole journey has occu- pied eleven hours, and we arrive at oui destination many days earlier than by longer routes
 But these are still air castles The canal is far from completion The en, | gineers have many difficulties before them. The type of canal is yet to be de. eided. There are two types, the sea level and the lock. The former has the advantages of not being troubled by locks, and not being susceptible t earthquake shocks. The latter is deem

 New Haven won her first game from Waterbury on the home grounds this season yesterday afternoon by a score of to ?. Young Nolte was in the points for the locals, and, although the visitors made eleven hits, they were too widely scattered to do any damage. On the other hand, Cy Voorhees, in addition to being hit when hits meant runs, made two costly errors, which, with base on balls and hitting a batter, resulted in three unearned runs. Waterbury scored once in the third on hits by McAndrews, McCabe and Swander, and an error by Captain Hayward the only misplay of the home team. Their second and last run came in the eighth on single by McCabe and a two-bagger by Nichols New Haven crossed the rubber twice in the second on Bunyan being hit by pitched ball and Voorhees, two errors Bunyan added one to his sides score on his own single, stolen base, Sher- woods hit and Nolte's fly to McCabe Singles by Sherwood and Jope, Nolte's two-sacker, Councils base on balls and Hannifans sharp rap resulted in four runs in the sixth.

Recent Rich Strikes Along Small
 Alaskan Streams.
 Gold is found at the grass roots in many places of the Yehtna district, particularly on some of the new creeks of the Upper Kahittana and Lake Creek, which have been prospected since the beginning of the year. At least three hundred men are Eow in the district and all are busy prospecting and making rtady for summer work. Many of them have sluice boxes in place to begin washing gravel as soon as the creeks clear of ice
 This is the report brought down by John A. McDonald who with D. H. Conklin arrived in Sewar dlast night. They left the headwaters of the Yentna April 22 and came straight through With the exception of a stay of two days at the lower end of Lake Creek as they came past. Water waA running over the ice on the Yentna and they were obliged to wade part of the way It was slushy trayehng all. the way from Lake Creek to Knik and the iLdt- l tie Susitna was showing signs of a breakup.
 l MT. Mcdonald has been in the Yentna I district since last fall with the excep- tion of a few weeks in the winter when he came outside He left here in Feb ruary the last time and since then has been on most of the explored creeks of the district. While no mining has been done since last summer, experimental banning has shown good indications ev- anywhere and MT. Mcdonald says the miners are all extremely sanguine of results. A majority of them are experi- l enced in placer mining and many of them are Alaska sourdoughs, who know what they are trying to do.
 Ii On majority of the creeks there Is timber enough for all purposes. It Is usually small. On some of the higher creeks particularly the upper Katiltna, there is no timber and the mn located there have had a hard job sledding timber up for the summers work from the lower end of the main creek.

 "There should be simplicity in the home furnishings. Furniture which is not to be used should be kept in the attic and not in the parlor. Everything should be reduced to a system When every duty becomes a habit 1t is easy to know how and when to do it.
 And in addition to all this the house. keeper should take pains to care for her own self. Many times we are hap pier without servants than with them, but if the mothers and the housekeep- CTS health should fail, she must have assistance. If we reduce housekeeping to such a science 1t should prove a privilege rather than drudgery."
 After a song "Our Own America" by the young ladies of the closs, an essay entitled "The New Haven Green" was delivered by Miss Mary Morgan Smith, She said in substance: Day after day we walk across the green and never | think of the historic associations con nected with it. In early times the green held a most important position in all public activities On it were held religious meetings, military trials and punishments and many went to their resting place in It's bosom"
 At first New Haven was laid out in nine squares and the market place as the green was then called, was intend ed to be what the forum was in Rome Ii was called the market place up to the time of the revolution. Then an at tempt was made to call it the public square but the name did not cling.
 ''The green was uneven and woody in those days and a part of it covered with swamps. It was net until 1SSl that it was cleared up and cattle pro- hibited within it's borders.
 "At first there were only a schoo house. a watch tower and courtl! state house on the green. Later a new state house was built and the old on, used as a printing house from whicl was published the Morning Journal and 1 Courier. In 1923 a grammar schoo was built at the south end and besid, it was the whipping post.
 "The green was early used as a bur ial ground But in 1920 James Hill house and others bought a lot on Grov, street for a cemetery. This cemeter! has the reputation of being the frs ever laid out in family plots. Only { flew bodies, however, were removed

Bridgeport, June 22.-Bridgeport won easily to-day from Holyoke, ' to 2, in a spirited but very far from faultless game. Hartman, for the visitors, did not have his eyes with him at short and made some bad fumbles, which counted against his team. Cornen was given perfect support till the last inn ing. when two errors and a hit filled the bases, and a short-sized scare seiz- ed the crowd, but the Orators kept to- gether and kept the men on bases.

A melodranatic comedy replete
with striking sensational Genes and
startling situations is the attraction
at the Grand Opera House Monday
night. Tho play is from the pen of
the authorsot "a Poor Relation" and
aPeacefuf valley" two plays that
have made Sol Smith Russell famous.
It is a portrayal of an American tramp
not a repulslve, ever-to-be:shunned
outcast, but a man who through mis-
fortune was compelled to wander upon
the face Of The earth; but whose heart,
well knowing his W distress, still
bleeds for others woe and who ohers
even his life to help right the wrongs
of others even more unfortunate than
he. The locale of this drama Is laid
in rural New England; and the motive
is greed for gold with which even d
husband is sometimes oVerpowerei'
and for which he terribly wrongs his
lffe's partner. The story is complex
and will be we'll worked out by a com
potent cast Of gifted players. In the
cast are such well known artists as
Miss Juliette Newell, Miss Grace Full
