He returned to the homestead when 21 years of age, later coming into possession of the home stead, which place he has since con- ducted with success. He was a de- sendant of the people who started the local settlement, coming here over 200 years ago. Captain Naples was con- nected with the state militia for a number of years, being captain for three years of the Eight company of the Eighteenth regiment of militia. His father was also captain of a militia company His first vote he cast as a democrat, but ever since then he has been a republican.

NEW HIPPoBRoMH SPECTACLE.
"Neptune's Daughter and "Pioneer
 Days" Produced in New York.

4NeplunS DdltBHteT anu lOHtST
 Days Produced in New York.
 New York, NSvember 2S--The first original production made at the great New York Hippodrome by Messrs. Shu- bert & Anderson, the managers, was offered to the public tonight, when "Neptunes Daughter and Pioneer Days had their first presentation on any stage. Marvellous as previous Hip podrome productions have been, it Is safe to say that in this new offering everything ever shown on any stage has been surpassed, both in magnitude and gorgeous splendor. The opening piece is Pioneer Days" written by Carroll Fleming, in which band of one hundred Sioux Indians from the Pine Ridge agency in South Dakota, one hundded cowboys, a squad of Uni ted States cavalry and two hundred horses are used, the entire production showing over six hundred people on the stage at one time. This is a dramatic picture in three scenes of life on the western border when the gold rush to California took place
 The principal offering, which comes after the circus acts always identified with a Hippodrome production is "Neptunes Daughter" and in this the weird, uncanny effect was positively thrilling. The great scene of this piece shows the large Hippodrome water | tank as the sea. Up from the depths in the midst of the tank, after the audi ence has viewed the curtain five min utes, comes a beautiful young woman, Sirene, Queen of the Mermaids. At her beck and call other mermaids appear in various parts of the water tank and by their blandishments entice fishermen to leap into the sea in search of the love- | ly mermaids that dwell in beautiful palaces beneath the sea. The fisher men and the mermaids disappear in the water in full view of the audience, and do not rise again. This in itself is marvellous enough, but when Neptune, in his chariot, drawn by mermaids, ] rises from the same water and takes the lovely heroine in his barge, all then sinking beneath the water, the audi ence is fairly astounded. How this eff feet is secured without the singers run 1 ming the least risk of getting drowned Is beyond the conception of all who have seen this remarkable feature. The effect is obtained by remarkable I invention of H. l.. Bowdoin, a New York civil engineer. who conceived the entire scheme of Neptune Daughter" ," by which the principals go to the bot tom of the sea. The closing scene rep resents the Court of King Neptune at the bottom of the sea, with wonder ful ballot, introducing mermaids, fish es, crabs, Holsters and other strange and beautiful creatures supposed to | live beneath the sea.

critics who have hastened to condemn the President have apparently beeh blind to the facts and disinclined to admit that the discharge of the sol diers could have had any respectable motive. The facts, however, are un- deniable; while to hold that the Presi- dent has in this single instance lost both his head and his temper and has sought to demonstrate an exaggerat- ed authority to the injury of innocent and helpless employees of the Govern ment is not warranted by even the most narrow estimates of the Presi- dents normal characteristics. What he did was done in accordance with the recommendation of trusted officers of the Army based on personal con viction and indorsed by the War De- | partment
 Circumstantially, the case is thus presented in the Secretary's report It is pointed out that, whatever the ef- feet on individuals, the purpose of the | disbandment was not to punish, Clear ! ly, no punishment has thereby been inflicted OF those who committed the ''heinous crime" Murder was done and if the intent of the soldiers who "shot up" the town of Brownsville in | the middle of the night had been more completely accomplished there would have resulted several murders These murderers, protected by their com rades, the Government was simply unable to reach and to punish. But | two courses were then open to the 1 Government--one to let the matter drop and so make itself a party to | the conspiracy of silence" for the con | tinued protection of the murderers; the other to disband the organization 1 that, by the action of some of its members in committing crime and of an undetermined, but considerable part of the others to protect the crim- inals, had sufficiently shown that il was an untrustworthy and undesirable organization for the Government to continue to maintain.
 When a man enlists in the Army, as the report sets forth, he knows that, for the very purpose of protect ing itself, the government reserves to itself the absolute right of discharge 4 not as a punishment, but for the pub { lie safety or interest" In the public interest these three companies were disbanded. Tn such a case as this, '' the report proceeds, the inconvenI- ence and hardship to those innocent of participation or knowledge, aris- ing from arbitrarily terminating the contract of enlistment in accordance with the right which the Government by statute reserves, must be borne by them in the public interest. =. The very impossibility of determining who are the guilty makes the whole battalion useless to the Government as an instrument for maintaining law and order. The only means of ridding the military service of band of would-be murderers of women and chil- dren, and actual murderers of one man, is the discharge of the entire battalion.
 No community would hereafter tol- crate the assignment of these com panies at post on its borders; none could regard them with confidence as it's defenders in time of necessity The public interests and the interests of it's individual employees are both

ARTILLERY DEFENSE
 IS BADLY DEFICIENT
tcontinued from First Page.)

(Continued from First Page) ito plant the mines, maintain them ln- tact, and explode them at the proper instant in action.
 General Murray calls attention to the matter of providing power plants for use in connection with both guns and mines.
 The desirability of separation of coast and field artillery, General Mur- ray says, is apparent. On this subject he says:
 "The combination of the coast and field artillery into a corps as is now done is not only unsound as a military principle but the frequent interchange of officers between these tactically un- related arms is considered to be clear ly detrimental to the efficiency of both.
 If a reasonable standard of efficiency he says, is to be maintained by the ar tillery it will be necessary to provide additional officers and men for the pur- pose of manning the submarine de- lenses. He contends that a regimental organization should be provided for the field artillery, and, finally, that certain new grades should be provided with ap- propriate pay connected herewith for expert enlistment of coast artillery
 Previous recommendations for boats for artillery work exclusively are re newed.
 Pointing out that 1t will require 2,27S officers and 55,110 men to provide one relief for all the coast defenses con structed and proposed in the United States at the entrances of the isthmiar canal and in the insular possessions General Murray remarks that under the present system it would be imprac- ticable to furnish this number. There fore, he says, attention must be direct ed to some plan that will supply, at the outbreak of war, the deficiency from the organized militia. He thinks that most of the non-expert class of artil- lerymen may be thus supplied, as well as a number of second-class expert ar- tillerymen drawn from those forces in the states which give special training to it's guardsmen in coast artillery du- ties.

Making His Headquarters at the Store
 of the John E. Bassett x Go.
 If old Santa Claus finds himself short of suitable material to make the boys and girls of New Haven happy when he reaches the Elm City Christmas eve he will undoubtedly pull up his reindeers at the well known hardware store of the John E. Bassett & Co.,, 754 Chapel street, for here he knows he will find every conceivable kind of gift, any of which will be sure to please and sat isfy both old and young. One special feature of the firms successful business career is that the two main factors in building up a business are always to be 1 found at this establishment, viz: First, quality, and, second, prices. In the first case you will find the quality of l the highest grade, and in the second the prices will be found consistently l low.
 For prices on the numerous articles sold by the John E. Bassett &s Co., we would invite our readers to visit their famous establishment and view the all most endless variety of elegant wares. Included in the list are pocket knives, carving knives, chafng dishes, razors, manicure sets, skates, sleds, tool chests, scissors, carpet sweepers, fireplace goods, coffee percolators, etc. The store itself is, at this time, most attractive. And as the visitor gazes at the elegant and multitudinous array of articles of beauty and utility he cannot but won- der at the marvellous development in design and workmanship which has kept pace with the spirit of the twen- tieth century Passers-by have to stop and look in at the show windows, which are filled with tempting articles, all of which suggest appropriate things for Christmas gifts.

Atmospheric POISONING.

The protests against the automo-

ceived a powerful reinforcement by
a declaration of Sir James Dewar on

Sir James Dewar states that the
combustion of petrol or gasoline in
these motors throws off vast quanti-
ties of noxious gases. Some of these
are absolutely poisonous and all In

YOUNG BIRDS EVER IN PERIL
A Wonder He Ever Grows DIP, He Has
So Many Enemies.

So many dangers beset young birds
between the time they are Matched
and the time when they are able to
AXE care of themselves it is a won.
der that SO many Of them reach matur-
ity. That any of them do SO Is prob
ably due to the fact that this period
of helplessness is comparatively short,
averaging perhaps three weeks with
the majority of our perching birds.
During the period of incubation the
nest is comparatively safe; as a rule
it is inconspicuous. often carefully
hidden, and the sitting bird is usually
silent.
AS soon as the tender chicks break
through the shells of the eggs 1t be-
comes a difficult matter indeed for
the parents to keep their secret from a
hundred enemies more pitiless than
any storm, and whose eyes, ears and
noses are ever ready to detect the
presence of such dainty and available
morsels as nesting birds.
The feeding of the little one and
| the cleaning of the nest necessitate
scores of visits daily on the part OF the
old birds, and, quietly as the work
is usually done, so much passing back
and forth to a given point is very
often apt to attract undesirable atten-
ton. Then the young birds them
selves seem very indiscreet and fire.
quently make so much ado when their
parents arrive with food that they
seeem to invite every enemy within
sight or hearing.
The young of birds which build on
the ground are perhaps the ones which
are subject to the greatest number Of
dangers. Fortunate it is for then
that they know no evil-that their In
born fear is latent and does not de
velop until such time as it shall prof
them to be afraid, until they are abl'
to fly and thus escape the dangers the!
