Send Telegram to Harry Woodruff
 The sentiment at Yale concerning Harry woodruff, the Harvard graduate who came to this city in Brown of Harvard" and made many friends, and who went to Boston to be nelted with apples, lemons and eggs by members of his own college, is tersely and tartIy expressed in a telegram which has been sent to the actor and reads as follows; Harry M. Woodruff, Majestic Theater
 Boston, Mass:
 "All Yale is sorry. You belong to us The best fellow in the world is not ap- preciated in Boston. We are waiting for you."

 During his stay in this city Mir Woodruff made many friends among the college men and on his departlrf presented Louis Linder, as agent foi the students, with a large silver cup as a remembrance for the lellghtfu sessions spent at Temple Bar and the University club.
 It Is interesting to note that durine his stay in this city MT.

MILDRED HOLLAND.

Mildred Holland, who will appear at the New Haven theater on Friday night, April P, and present Edward c. Whites magnificent production of Mat thew Barrys romantic drama, "A Par adise of Lies" has taken another long stride toward the very highest position in the American drama. Her new play gives her many opportunities to display her wonderful emotional ability. Her curtain calls this season have been more numerous than ever before, and wherever "A Paradise of Lies" has been produced, it has met with the frankest approval of every critic,
 Miss Holland brings to bear in the creation of any role she may be called upon to interpret, a keen and analytic al mind, and an exact knowledge of the requirements of the drama. Before she studies line in play, she familiar izes herself personally by visiting the country in which the scenes are laid, and by historical research with the customs of the time.
 By studying the mode of living of the people of Italy, at the close of the eighteenth century, Miss Holland has been enabled to give her impersonation of the role of Lolita in "A Paradise of Lies," an exact historical counter part of the castaway child rescued from lily pond that grew to woman hood and found the tragedy of her life in the palaces of the Eternal City.

Edward Condon's Right Leg Cut Off
 Below Knee.
 Edward Condon, a brakeman, living at 557 East street, had his right foot run over by a train yesterday after- noon at the Cedar Hill yards, and it was so badly mangled that it was nec- essary to amputate the right leg half way between the ankle and knee.
 Condon was working on an engine in the freight yards and he slipped and fell under the wheels of the engine, which ran over his right leg. He was taken to the New Haven hospital in the police ambulance, where the ann putation took place. Condon was rest ing quietly at late hour last night.

"THE WHITE CHRY YANTHEMJM '
 The White Chrysanthemum will be presented at the New Haven theater on Saturday, April 1S, matinee and night.
 The Springfield Republican says of this productions: Without Lawrence Grossmith the play would not have been enjoyable. But if ever a man worked hard to amuse an audience it was this handsome young English com eiian last evening We have no one like him on our stage, more's the pity. His comedy is refined, really humorous and altogether delightful His every move is comical and he burlesques a character just enough to bring out it's funny side. They made him without joints, but in some ineXplicable way he is always graceful, and one cannot watch him even walk without enjoying it. He sings a comic song in the ap- proved London style, and is an excel lent dancer. But he had little chance to prove the latter last evening. His wife Coralie Blythe, had the title role, and as the masquerading English maid was altogether charming She sang sweetly and made a most attractive picture in the Japanese costume. It is to be sincerely hoped that these two will elect to stay in this country, as they would prove a most welcome ad- dition in our musical comedies, and could fill a place something like that once held by Jimmy Powers and Min nie Ashley in public esteem. Edna Wallace Hopper had a small part, which allowed her to sing one good song and wear a few hundredweight of diamonds. Van Rensselaer, Wheeler had the tenor role and sang his songs we'll while Henry V. Donnelly made a bluff admiral and scored quite hit with his topical song in the last act and Dave Lewis tried to copy Louis Mann as Peeks, the chauffeur. He made the hit of the evening, however with his automobile song in the second set which was the best thing in the

------------ ---- ----- ------------- WEATHER AND QUAIL.
Venerable and Veracious Farmer Has
 Something to Say.

There has been good quail shoot now said a venerable and veracious farmer from down Warwick Wood lands way. but it is all owing to my being able to read the weather signs. There was year when there were but 200 quail in the whole county, and they were on my farm. The way l read the signs one fall, I couldn't see how we were going to escape having a tremendous hard winter, and 1 told foluks so, but they laughed at me. I was fond of shooting in those days and I figured it out that. 1 wouldn't have any quail to shoot at the next year unless l up and did something. So before winter set in I went to trap ping quail. And l hired boys to trap quail for me. By the time the fierce weather l had foretold came down upon Us in earnest, I had safe in warm quarters or my farm more than 200 quail.
 Every one oe them wintered through all right, and the next spring they were the only quail in Orange county. The winter had been even more severe than l had predicted, and every quail in tho county except those had trapped and wintered through had perished | turned miGe loose in tthe spring, and that fall we had as good quail shooting as anyone could l wish for down in our part of the county and thereabout P But suppose ! I hadn't been able to read these weather signs? It would have been good many years before there would ihave been any quail shooting in the county again It was several years at any rate, before there was any sort
 of quail shooting in other parts O
 the county, and am little proud tC
 know that all the quail in this regiol |to-day are descendants of those 200
 birds that the weather signs warned
 me to look out for.
 I What were those weather signs i Oh, well, it doesn't matter now wha
 they were, Seasons have changed ; i great deal since that wear, and al
 signs fall in time of drouth, anyhow.

 The French ambassador sent to China in 1S44 received special in struction not to submit to the kowtow. These instructions, however, he ignor- ed, as he held the opinion that ann bassadors must conduct themselves ac- cording to the usages of the court to which they were accredited. The whole question during the last half century has assumed an altogether diff ferent aspect. For over one hundred years prior to the establishment of permanent foreign legations in the Chinese capital in 1860 European rep resentatiyes were not accorded an Im- perial audience Since that date the kowtow has never been insisted upon. Whether the question, so far as for eigners are concerned, is now finally disposed of reAnains to be seen.-West- minister Gag kte.

THE QUESTION OF .Kowrow.e

We learn that the Chinese censor has memoralized the throne on the ne- cessity of abolishing the degrading cus- tom of high native ministers of the Crown kowtowing and addressing or replying to their Majesties on pended knees. Kowtowing has been q fruitful theme for discussion and controversy ever since the nations of the West first invaded the shores of the Great Cen ral Kingdom. Hitherto the question concerned only those who came from foreign lands on diplomatic or other missions. No one for moment thought of suggesting that the kowtow was degrading custom so far as the Chinese high officials themselves were concerned The kewts " before the

ELECTRICITY lN AGRIoULTURE.


 The spiris of farmB cooperation promises to work a complete change in the methods of handling products It suggests that within few years the available mountain streams will be utilized in supplying power for many purposes on the farm. This proposition has been worked out by a prominent western agricultural engin- ger, who predicts that the Pacific Coast farms of the future will be supplied with machinery propelled by electricity, The new force comes as a saving plan and an additional evidence ot the value of communities maintain ing effective home, social and business organizations.
 An illustration of the cost of farm ing under the present system, and when electricity is used, comes frqm California. A man owning a farm of 100 acres has two sons and a hired man working the place. IL requires the use of five horses. The cost of the hired man and the horses, feed and harness. aggregate $1,0O0 year. 1t is N9tiiltoe'Su ttlil py Co7OpSie etlilS Nltil several neighhors and harnessing a mountain stream for electrical force, the cost would be decreased so much that after the plant is paid for the saving would be equivalent to $500 a 1 year for that farm. Others would have | similar savings, thus making the farm more profitable than ever before Agri- culture of to-day is a business proposi- l ton.
