YALE STUDENT CUT.
Negro When Asked for a Fare Drew .
 Knife.

New Haven, Aug. I7.-An un- known colored man slashed William Lynch. Sheff student, twice across the face Thursday night at Savin Rock, infiicting two severe gashes one of which narrowly missed the 1ugular vein, and both of which will in all probability, disfigure the face of the young man for life.
 E The slashing occurred on the n.y. ing horses conducted by Alec Lynch, father of the youth injured, near the entrance to the Savip Rock grounds, The colored man, who is known to the police and who probably will be apprehended in short time, jumped on the platform of the revolving horses after the fares had been col. lected. Lynch, who is only IS years of age, approached the man and de- manded fare, which the colored man refused.
 Young Lynch then threatened to eject the burly man from the plat form whereupon the colored man slashed him. leaped from the horse he was riding and darted through the crowd. Jack Lynch. brother of the injured boy, started in close pur- suit of the fleeing man, but friends of the assailant seized and held him until the man had good start. The police were at once notified but up to late last night had not found the man.
 The injured boy was taken to the drug store on the grounds. where Dr F. B. Kennedy of West Haven took six stitches in the wound on the bridge of the nose.

RECEPTION ON STAGE
Stock Company Shook Friends Hands Yesterday Afternoon.

The Poli stock company held another reception on the stage of Jacques theater yesterday afternoon at the close of the regular performance. It was even more successful than the first At the close of the last act, in which Zoe. the beautiful octoroon, ends her weary life by taking poison -ooh. ooh, the curtain descends. put a few minutes later 1t goes up again and the 'ception is on. And such bevy of femininity that hustled for the steps leading to the stage! But the greater part of them were of early years. but that did not matter, they soon covered the stage. You know It is not every day that one can shake hands with "akters," that is, good ones.
 Of course Richard Gordon and Miss Nordstrom were there to greet you as you reached the stage. And such q dear old handshake. And May Ab- bey, with her fluffy ruffie belt and her ruffy fuffy hair was there with the Quaker Oat smile. It was rather q pretty smile too, May was elated. ap- parently, with the affair. Still she hated to see the audience go. for when the curtain was being rung down to hide those on the stage from the view of the curious who still re- mained in the theater, she waved a last farewell good bye. She made her hand go like a fairy fish.
 Foster Hackett seemed bored to death, but consented to shake the hands of all who were eager to snake with him. Many were the expressions of regret because the company is to go to New Haven next week, and dur ing the afternoon few tears were shed, although no one brought the candles.

FIRST WARDERS MET
Alderman NielI VIII Not Be a
 Candidate This Fall.

Some of the democrats of the first ward held a meeting last evening just to see what was doing. ana 1t was aii- nounced that Alderman Joseph s. Nell will not be candidate this fall. There has been mention of running John F. Gallagher, whom Alderman Hurley would run as a candidate for mayor. John Moore of Cherry street and Alfred Drescher arc mentioned. though neither of them has any heart- felt longing for the office.
 It is quite possible that Daniel Mur- phy, who is at present commissions CT of the board of charities, may be put in the field.
 The first ward is full of good demo- crats, some of the most intelligent in the city, men who understand the city charter from cover to cover and there ought to be no difiiculty in getting a strong candidate. Conditions are such in the first ward this year that high hopes are entertained of electing the three aldermen.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS

 Benedict 6 Burnham's factory and the Waterbury Brass Goods cor poration plant worked five days this week. The factories have been run. ming only four days week but be- cause of the breaking of couple of engines at the Coe Brass in Torring- ton, the orders of that plant were filled in Waterbury.
 The members of the Brooklyn Athletic club are making prepara- tions for the eighth annual fair which will be given in the club rooms from September 28 to October 5. At a recent meeting the following com mittee was appointed to look after the event: Anthony Carroll, Michael Madden, Richard Baldwin. Martin Duane. Patrick Clark, Charles Bock- witch, Patrick Donahue and William Gwilym. A handsome prize will be awarded the person selling the most tickets.
 Hans Rasmussen, who has been smoking the pipe of peace in his te- pee on Town Plot for several weeks, attended the meeting of the business men last evening which was called for the purpose of opposing Mayor Thoms in the stand, which he had taken against the Connecticut com pany and which almost all fair mind ed persons think Is right. We'll Hans was not so much interested in the Thomaston trolley line as in the Town Plot but the big majority was not in the mood to hear much about the Town Plot route. Consequently Hans had not much of an opportu- nifty to expound on the line to hi; section and saw that 1t was not the part of wisdom to try to get those present to pass any resolutions ef- fecting the Town Plot line. .

EDITORIAL MISCELLANY.

We have great hopes that the

week at Denisun is the first of
many to follow. 1t means new
impetus to the intellectual life of the
people of this county tor a good
Chautauqua program to be we'll pat
ronized. Much that will be said could
be learned from the papers and maya
zines. but so many will not take the
time to do this. To have actually
with us such men as Governor Hoch
of Kansas. Judge Lindsey. Congressman
Bede. Senator LaFollete. Senator
Dolliver. men high in the religious
world like Rev. Markiey and Mon.
Then. men of tarvel and observation
such as McNutt and MacQueen and to
hear them speak is rare privilege.
and what they say is bound to have
an uplifting influence which will be
felt for years. The present Chautau-
qua is not over. there is time for our
readers to gain an immense benefit,
and we hope none will let a small
matter stand in the way of attend
ance.

WHY Pa Was Mad.

Farmer Jones. after eating Il hearty
dinner, stepped out On his porch to en-
JOY Il smoke, when he noticed in front
of the house. which was on the main
road, an overturned load of hay, and
great perplexity The farmer went
out and spoke to the boy.
well, my boy. see you have had
an accident but never mind. Turn
your horses to the hay aud come in
and have some dinner"
Il can't said the boy: pail be
mad"
"Oh, no. he won't. Come on"
"Nope, | can't; pa'u be mad"
"Now, look here, sonny. You didn't
mean to upset that hay. There's no
harm done. Come right along, AMI
after YOU have had something to eat
I'll help you to load up again"
The boy consented, saying as he
looked back at the hay, But just
know pa'll lie mad"
After Re had eaten and the farmer
Mad started back with him to load up.
The latter said, Nov, don't you feel
betterT
very much, sir, but pal, be mad.

why will your pa be mad?"
Because he's under that load Of
hay"

speeches prior to his departure for a
trip of inspection to the PHILIPPINE
Islands which will end in complete
tour around the world. He will take

does not let political ambitions stand

out faith in the Evolutionary philos-
ophy if he can.
Professor Lankestar in lecture at
Oxford two years ago said that not
only was it an error to suppose that
according to the theory. of Evolution
man came by chance. but. that on the
contrary it is specific assertion that
he is the predestined outcome of an
orderly and. to large extent percent
ible mechanism.
The highest guaranty of the truth
of any belief is that the mind can
rest in it satisfied; that nothing is
left over from any point of view: that
it adds up right in every process
that it harlnonlzes with the unity of
all things.
The antagonism at first manifest
to the evolutionary theory was
prompted by feeling that it
somehow detacted from the dignity of
man and banished God from the
World. But it does neither. 1t does
not dethrone man from his place at
the summit of creative effort. On
the contrary it gives him a greater
dignity as the embodiment of all past
and the potentiality of all future
achievements.
