THOMS IS WILLING
Yields io Pressure of Friends
 is GDbernaiorial Candidate.

The democratic primaries will be held on September 4, and unless something unlocked for turns up there will not be more than one ticket in the field, although some claim that there is bound to be a fight for the senatorial delegates in the fourth and fifth districts. But there is nothing certain about this and even if a battle should be fought nobody will be killed, and probably the row would only have a tendency to get the boys into trim for the general election.
 There is no longer any doubt about Mayor Thoms's position on the gubernatorial nomination. His friends have invited him into the race and he is not the kind of man to decline the honor. The boys who went down, to New Haven yesterday heard nothing but Thoms and with this feeling on the outside surely there is nothing for him to fear at home. A number of democrats held an informal session to-day and de- cided to. get right down to business at once with Thoms as candidate for governor. This will make things in teresting and will keep Lilley's friends guessing Already republi- cans say that Thoms will carry Wa terbury over Lilley by majority of at least 5000 votes. Come now, boys, don't lose your heads and fall out with your neighbors about these things. It is not necessary. good fighter never gets mad, and an hon orable opponent never deals in per- sonalities. Nobody but fools and semi-maniacs would think of quarrel ing over such matters. But this does not mean that one cannot be active and do lot of real honest work on either side-no man can take both and be fair. Thoms is in 1t now and let us see that he gets there. Never mind about Lilley just now, the people will take care of George at the proper time.

Boston. Aug 20.-Mrs John L. Gardner. fin an interview credited to her by a local morning newspaper. acknowledges her ownership Of the art goods which have been seized by custom officials in Chicago, because of having been brought into thls coun- try by Mrs Emily R. C. Chadbourne. under an alleged false declaration. h which the goods were described as household effects" but declares she did not know of Mrs chadbourne's in- tention to bring them to this country.
 The statement attributed 10 Mrs Gardner is. in part. as follows:
 The customs department has al- ways persecuted me. and I have paid thousands of dollars duty upon ob- iects of art as a result of their im- positions The goods in Chicago be- long to me ] had lent them to Mrs Chadbourne for her home in Europe. doubt if the articles would total ssO.000 in value. and I think Mrs Chadhourne had a perfect right to bring them into this country as household goOds
 "I don't know whether the s7e. 900 in fines and penalties was paid by ne or not. as I have a man who looks af- ter such things l have not paid sSo.00o to keep the art objects from being cold al auction. If the duty is paid n full and a still bigger fns is raid without protest ! don't see vhy the customs people should take ths articles. too

YALE ATTENDANCE.
Academic Class Promises to Be Small
 er-Sheff Larger.

New Haven, Aug 20.-Although the registration figures for the incom- ing classes at Yale are not completed as yet. present indications are that the total registration will be about the same as last year. It is, of course, impossible to determine until the classes open just what the number will be in the law, medical and grad uate schools, as those schools are more apt to be affected by the strin- gency in the money market than the Academic or Shelf. It looks as though there may be very slight falling off in the incoming Academic class, but even that is not certain until the fall entrance exams are completed In Shelf it looks as though there will be the same ratio of increase as last year which is very gratifying to the Shelf authorities, However, it is too early to definitely state what the size of the incoming classes will be.
 Even last year when the money stringency had just begun there was an alarming falling of in the incom- ing classes at Harvard, Princeton and many other colleges while Dartmouth and Yale alone were on the increase.
 Some think that the defeats which Yale received last spring in track, baseball and rowing may cause de- crease in registration, but it is not thought likely that there will he any such result for only very small per eentage of students come to Yale merely for athletics.
 One marked effect of the hard times has been felt by the tutoring schools and those students who earn their way through college by tutoring as there has been very little work of that kind during the past eyar.

IGNORANT OF LAW.
Many Men Who Apply for Natural.
 ization Papers.

Judging from the number of ap- pllcants at the district court for naturalization papers hundreds will get left in the matter of voting a. the coming election. Notwithstand- ing all that has been published and printed in other ways about the change in the naturalization laws fl seems. that thousands know absolute ly nothing about 1t. To-day a man presented himself to Clerk Gillette in the office of the district court. with one witness, for his final pa pers. He said he has been 27 years in the country and having come here under age, IS years, he wished to get his full papers at once. From the look that took a prominent seat on that mans face when told he would have 10 wait two years one would think he had not lived within 100 miles of a newspaper and that the change in the naturalization laws had taken place only yesterday, whereas they have been in operation since September. 1896.
 When the man was further told that he could have his first papers by paying ii and that he could have his final papers tvo years hence. provided he passes the examination at that time. he asked when the change In the laws was made. And when told. he replied:
 Well. there's a fellow out east who told me could get my full pa- pers at any time. Two years I'll have to wait. ehs" And thsn he vent his way evidently unaware that every day he postpones the fl- ing of his petition for full papers. as he called them. counts against him There are hundreds situated like thIs man
 There is another wrinkle fn this new law which has not been given much publicity. It is this. If a man keeps his petition hanging fire for seven years he must begin all over again.

The visit of Major Tilson to New Britain yesterday, when he called on Hart :on, the leader of the Lilley forces. caused more or less comment in New Haven. The major is can didate for eongressman-at-large and he needs the delegates that will go to the state convention. No doubt his visit to New Britain was induced by a desire to confer with New Britain leaders about these delegates. Inci- dentally. it looks as if the major is tying his hopes to the Lilley band wagon.

Sam S channels of communication.
To cut out the prizes is too horrible
a condition event to imagine, and, fur
thermOre, women given to the pastime
declare that their parties would be
scantiIy attended If the lure of a prize
was not offered those invited.
And so society is in a quandary-
whether to be good law-abiding citi-
zens and not use the mail for bridge
whist invitations, or to despise and dis
regard the edict issuing from Washing
ton, or-and this conclusion they de-
clare is altogether impOssible-to ex-
clude prizes from the game.
The decision was called forth by a
communication addressed by a conscien-
tious citizen of Hartford, Conn, to the
PostOffice Department He had been
reading in the papers of bridge parties
where the guests sometimes won large
fortunes and how hosts and hostesses
sometimes invited their friends to a
little bridge party in their cozy fiat
just to separate from them some of
their loose change, and he argued that
this was not moral. He forthwith wrote
to the Postmaster General, and E. p.
Goodwin answered that Uncle Sam
considers card parties when prizes are
given as lotteries and any matter re-
lating to them is unavailable.

the people of Honolulu have been
thrown by the action of the Washing

noring the desires of Hilo in local

may prove a corrective. There is
poetic justice in Honolulu's present
plight. Washington sauce for the
