COLLECTING PAPER CLIPS.
A Lawyers Stenographer Who Has
 Many Different Kinds.

A Lawyers Stenographer Who Has
 Many Different Kinds.
 You wouldn't mind me keeping this, would you?"
 A stenographer in the New York Life building was looking up into the face of a lawyer She had before her little wire paper clip, and smiled as she spoke. The lawyer seemed half surprised.
 why, no my dear-er-er-I beg your pardon-madame, he said. Certain ly I have no objections to your keep ing it. It is such ta trivial thing, But wonder why?'
 well, you see,' the stenorgrapher said, Pm making collection of these things"
 Later she explained; T started about two weeks ago and believe there are 57 varieties-not the pickle kind, either Every time get new one I drop in into this litle box, have a clip, double clip, clipper clip and a rink lip [ have a cross and double cross, and enough of other kinds to worm a clip menagerie. Wonderful where all thes fool things come from!
 Some of them are as intricate as a Chinese puzzle and as obstinate as a Missouri mule. You have to worry along and tease with them. coax and wheedle, pat them on the back as if they were balky animals. Every time a man gets a piece of wire twisted into some awkward shape he gets a pat ent on it and sells it as a paper clip.
 I'm for the good old-fashioned Ma gill fastener. It's as old as the Repub- lican platform and a heap more satis- factory. Made of sofe brass, easily bent and whent 1t is put in it stays there until someone lifts it. This is the first fastener patented. A man named Magill made it. It was the only clip in use for years"
 She held up the old fastener, made of brass with a round fiat head and two sharp points to go through the pa- per.
 She fished down into the little box and showed a number, which she call- ed religion breakers" Explaining, she said; "They make anyone swear"
 The bulk of the paper clips are made in New York, New Jersey and Con- necticut, Most Of them are made of steel wire, flexible, yet sufficiently riged to hold papers firmly. A very few are made of soft brass. The cost of manufacture is trivial.-Kansas Citv Star.

FIRST HAWAIIAN VISITOR

Landed in New Haven One Hundred
 Years Ago-spent Much of His Time
 in This State.
 A correspondent of the Waterbury American sends to that paper the fol- lowing brief sketch of the first native Hawaiian to visit this country,
 A paper published in Honolulu gives a picture of Henry Obooklah, who, with his frieEd, Thomas Hnpu,. was the first Hawaiian to visit this country.
 Obooklah, who was born in 1792, was related through his mother to the chiefs of the island At a battle be- tween the local chiefs his side was worsted His father, with his wife and two children, fled for their lives. They were overtaken and all killed but Obooklah who managed to escape. He was afterwards taken in charge by an uncle, who was high priest.
 n 1907 or 'OS ship entered the har- bor, and Obooklah and his friend Thomas Hopu, resolved to leave their country. Captain Brinton, the com mander of the ship, was very kind to them and after a year of adventure they landed in New Haven, where the college students took great interest in them.
 In 1910 Samuel Mills, Jr., visited the college and took Obooklah home with him. MT. Mills sent him to Bradford academy and afterward to Andover While calling Torringford his home, he alalso lived in Hollis, N. H., and in IIitehfield and Goshen. In 1915 he came to live with the Rev. Charles Prentice of South Canaan (as it is now called.) He afterwards joined the mission school in Cornwall in 1817 This school was founded to educate number of Hawaiians, South Sea Islanders and American Indians for missionary ser vice.
 His appearance at this time is de- scrlbed as fascinating, he being nearly six feet in height, with fine olive complexion, a dignifed, graceful and were remarkable. He had gained con- siderable knowledge of Latin and Eyu- cid, and had made such progress in Hebrew as to be able to translate free ly from that language into Hawaiian. He had also prepared grammar, dic- tfonary and spelling book in his own language, also had translated the whole of Genesis.
 Those who knew him had high ,antic ipations of his future, when after a short illness he died at the parsonage of the Rev. Timothy Stone in Corn wall. The loss to the mission field seemed irreparable, but within a year band of fourteen young men came forward to offer themselves flor Ha- waii.
 His brief life, so much of it spent in Litchfield county, seems of great inter est here, as so many have heard the story of his life from parents or friends wh9 had seen him. Relatives of the Rev. Mr Prentice are among the most highly respected citizens of Honolulu.

BROWN UNIVERSITY.

In the debate for the class of 1880 prizes, held recently, the first prize was awarded to z. Chafee, v, of Providence, the second prize to H. H. Thurlow, 'O7, of Buffalo, N. r., and the prize for the best argumentative essay on the sllb- ject was divided equally between l.. H. White, '07, of New London, Conn, and G. H.

 The John Carter Brown library has been unusually fortunate in purchasing perfect copy of the long sought "Li- bretto" of 1505 This book is valued as few books are, for it contains practi- cally all our knowledge of the third voyage of Columbus in which he dis covered South America and followed it's coast line for sevseral hundred miles.
 The practice has begun for the Var sity baseball squad, candidates for the batteries being at work in the cage, while the other men are taking a few days of compulsory gymnasium work in preparation for their regular train ing.
 Professor Brown, head of the geology department, has just returned from his trip to Kingston, Jamaica as the lead CT of a research expedition from Brown university to the scene of the late dis aster He reports a comparatively pleasant voyage, though the storms in the northern part detracted a tri1e from the enjoyment of the trip. A large amount of data has been accu- mulated regarding the origin and eX- tent of the earthquake, together with observations on the ability of variously constructed buildings on different kinds of ground to withstand seismic distur- bances. There has also been acquired 8 great deal of general seismological information with photographs and charts in illustration.

THE MATCH RACE.
PROFESSIONAL DRYERS WITH
 FAST HORSES

On the Goffe Street Speedway-TwO
 Pncers Provide Sport for Spectators
 Red Fellow Won the Money.
 The match which was recently made by packers of two local horses was de- cided over the snow on the Goffe street drive yesterday afternoon before the usual number of horse fanciers and oth- CT spectators. J. s. Byron's Red Fell low, 2:17 IA, was matched against the bay mare Beth D, 2:12 1-4 for $1OO a side
 Several other bets for smaller amounts were made on the result.
 The professional race track drivers were seated behind the horses when they appeared on the drive ready for the word to start. Eugene Sullivan held the reins over MT. Byron's pacer while Harry Brusie drove Beth D.
 The race, which was two in three was won in two straight heats by Red Fellow. 2:17 IA. s
 Trained Brusie was very successful last season with Beth D, 2:12 1-4, as he won large majority of the races in which he started the pacer and was obliged to lower her record although no effort was made to do so. Beth D won several heats in her record time last year and is presumed will be good in her closs during the coming season.
 During the race the sport was watched by the usual sidewalk au- dience of spectators which included some gentlemen from other towns. M. Lang, the hotel proprietor of Canaan, Conn, was noticed among the visitors. Some of the fast horses showed consid- erable speed yesterday, pr. Costanzo with his speedy brush horse Dusky- mont, 2;21, was ready for a race with anyone. James Lacey with the attrac- tive pacer, Miss Frances, 2:19 IA, had the speed to win several races during the afternoon.
 Harry Hurd, an expert driver, was noticed with his trotter Nominee, jr. Several other New Haven men were noticed with valuable horses on the drive during tho afternoon.
