a sketch of Dutch manners that has

relates how. in affairs of the heart
among that susceptible people. the
cigar plays a part at once dreamily
emblematic and practical. The young
gentleman in love calls casually at the
Young ladys house with his cigar out,
and casually asks for light. That
i. delicate hint and if he calls again
for light the parents understand what
to expect. A family council is had.
and the reply is prepared. If on his
third call the Woocr receives a light but
has the door Immediately closed in his
face, he understands that he is cold
ehouldcrcd. IF, on the other hand. his
suit is welcome. after receiving his
light. he is invited in, the young lady
is presented to him. and he puffs out
his declaration through the curls Of

THE PURITAN DISABLED.
Fall River Line Steamer Breaks Down
Off New London.

New London. Conn. Aug. 6.-The
steamer Puritan of the Fail River line
broke a shaft off New London harbor
early today. The steamer came to an
Choir in the fog off S1rah's ledge. The
500 passengers bound from New York
to FAN River were transferred to the
Union station here by the T. A. Scott
Cos tuEhoatG. A train was made
up here to carry the bclated passengers
to their destination. The foE on the
sound was unusually thick up to 8
O'Clock.
The examination OF the outer hull re
vealnd the fact that the starboard wheel
was badly bent and the buckets were
ripped off. This Leads the officers Of the
steamer to believe that the wheel struck
some heavy obstruction The damage to
the steamer will be about $4,000
New York. Aug. 6.-Few details of
the accident to the Puritan off New
London were received at the New
York office of the Fall River Line to-
day. 1t was stated that the Puritan
will be lowed to Fall River and that
the Pilgrim will take her place.
