Station Work Off To Spring
Engineer Gagel Says Active Construction Cannot be
 Started Until Then

New Haven. Oct 23-Chief Engineer Edward Gagel of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad makes the statement that work on the new pas senger station for this city will not begin actively before next spring de- spite all of the talk that has been cir culated that it was to be undertaken at once.
 MT. Gagel says that few people real ize the extent of the work that will have to be carried out when once it is begun. It will require months to complete it, and the best of weather, and there is a great deal of prepara- tion to go ahead with, including the construction of a long retaining wall, before the foundations for the struc- ture can finally be placed
 The matter will come up at the an- nual meeting of the stockholders which will be held in this city next regarding it can be given the stock holders, other than that outlined above. it is said.
 It is expected that at this meeting some a1lusion will be made to the fact that the road is more favorably disposed now than it has been in the past to complete the $20,OO0, 900 Hell Gate bridge, which it is to own joint ly with the Pennsylvania Railroad. When this. is completed the ferriage of New Haven trains around New will be one of the strongest of it's kind that has ever been put up in this country. It has been on the carpet in the history of the New Ha- ven railroad ever since President Halls time.

NO CIGARMAKERS' STRIKE. Denial From Union Official and From Manufacturers in New Haven.

New Haven, Oct. 23-The report of a proposed strike on the part of the un- ion cigarmakers of the city, to take effect this morning. which was cir culated about the city Saturday night has been firmly denied both by Secre- tary K. Grubbe, of the local division of the cigarmakers' union in this city, and by leading manufacturers, who claim that no notice of any intention to strike has been served upon them. Grubbe declared there was nothing to the report and that the men will go to work this morning as usual.
 Frederick D. Grave. a prominent manufacturer, when interviewed re- garding the matter last night, said that he had not been notified of any intention of the men to go on strike, but on the contrary had been posi- lively informed by some of them that there was no truth in the report.
 A. Kafka, another manufacturer, likewise declared his belief that there was no truth in the report.
 It is said that the grievance which is believed to exist is connected with the request for $1 a week as the re- suit of the curtailment of their priv ilege to take four cigars a day on account of new government regula- tion.t Secretary Grubbe last. night said he felt that this matter would be sat- isfactorily settled.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

To keep wool shirts from stretch ing. wash them in warm water in which soap jelly has been dissolved, measur- ing one tablespoonful of soap jelly to a. gallon of water. Rinse thoroughly in tepid water. Squeeze the water it; button the shirt up the whole length and hang it up by the bottom.
 White enameled furniture will clean perfectly, and only needs care. Rub all very dirty marks with a flannel dipped in methylated spirits, and wipe dry Next wash the furniture with soap and warm water. Do not use soda Or any kind of securing soap. Dry carefully, and then rub with a flannel dipped in whiting and polish with leather.
 bag made from ordinary white mosquito netting will be found great help in drying small articles, such as hankerchiefs, collars and oilieS. When ready to hang the mout put them in and pin on the line. This is better than to use pillow case, for it al- lows the wind to pass through more readily
 A satisfactory duster, one that will really hold the dust and not take it up in one place to scatter in an other, may be made in this way: Soak
  sine oil until thoroughly saturated and hang in the open air all day un- til we'll dried. It holds the dust splendidly. When soiled the process may be repeated after the cloth has been washed.
 their own washing stand over a hot stove an hour or more cooking flour starch? Here's the way to make 1t without cooking: Mix the required amount of flour with just enough cold water to make a thick batter. then add enough boiling water to thin it, stirring it as you pour the hot wa ter in. Be sure that the water is very hot or the starch will stick.
 To shorten the tedious process Of preparing fruit juice for jelly place a colander over a wide-mouthed~b bowl or crock; put the jelly bag containing the pulp in this, and gently force the juice through the bag with a potato-mash- CT, instead of hanging it up to drain. This can be done with the fruit quite hot by filling the bag only about three quarters full at a time; slight twist at the top prevents the juice getting out and gives the worker a place to hold the bag steady.
 To purify water: To pitcher hold ing about a quart of water add tiny pinch of alum-abOut as much as will go on the rounded point of a penknife. Stir the water well with a spoon, and then let it stand. In less than an hour you will see deposit on the sides and bottom of the pitch CT, consisting of the impurities the alum has carried down. Shake the pitcher, and the deposit will sink to the bottom. but the water should stand five or six hours before being decanted, when it will be quite clear and fit for drink purposes.

OPIUM PLENTIFUL
Rev. Rennets c. Miller Says He Doesn't Doubt There Are 100
 Joints in New Haven.

T don't doubt but that there are 100 or more opium joints in New Ha- ven at this moment said Rev. Ren- nets c. Miller, in sermon at the Epworth M. E. church, in that city, yesterday afternoon, in which he told Of the Investigations of the Interna- tional Reform Bureau of Washington, of which he is representative He said that concerted effort was nec- essary to stamp out this evil as that of gambling, cigarette smoking and intemperance. Rev. MT. Miller's sweeping statement that he believed there are at least 100 opium dens in the city, caused a decided sensation.
 Rev. Mr. Miller is in New Haven promoting a campaign against the smoking of cigarettes by boys under age. In this connection he made an other sensational statement to the ef- feet that "the girls are much to blame for cigarette smoking by boys. '' The admiration which they give to the boy who comes around with a cigarette in his mouth encourages him to further excesses and in many cases causes other boys, who might other wise keep free from this vice, to fol- low his example.

SIX VETERANS
 AT ROLL GALL
These of Foot Guard Who Went to War Present at 50th An
 niversary of Departure

New Haven. Oct. 23-Marked with
 soiemnity and quiet, though impress
 slve pomp, and attended by the chief executive of the State, with members of the Grand Army of the Republic, the Spanish War Veterans, the New Haven Grays, and Sons of Veterans,
 the flftieth anniversary of the depar-
 ture of the Second Company, Cover
 nor's Foot Guard, for the Civil War, was observed yesterday afternoon at center church on the green. The feature that deeply impressed the great throng of spectators who had gathered at the edifice was the pres ence among the veteran members of nhe Foot Guard, of six of the men of
 the company who had answered their country's call to arms
 Bunches of flowers, mute testimony of respect to the honored dead, were scattered around the chancel and across the reading desk was hung the tattered old flag which had flown from the church spire the day the Foot Guards went to the front
 Preceded by the two standard bear CTS, Sergeants Thomas and Hyde, one Of whom unfur1ed the flag of Connec- ticut, and the other the United States emblem, Adjutant Mora advanced to the chancel and called the roll of the company. SIX memberS of the original Company K, Sixth Regiment, Connec- ticut Volunteer Infantry, who were mustered into service September 12, 1861, answered the call, some with the Wgor of ripe old age, others with falterfng voice. Those who responded were Henry H. Hurlburt, Burton A.
 Evarts, Tyron W. Johnson, Franklin s. Nichols, Thomas J. Northrop and Charles Rawlings, all of this city There were in the company which went to the front, ninety-six men, seventeen of whom are known to be living. Three were killed in battle, eleven were wounded, three died in prison, seven died. of disease, twenty four were discharged for disability and forty eight died since being mus tered out.

LINEN ALONE FOR
 NEW TAFT HOTEL
 WILL COST S28,OOO

New Haven. Oct. 23-What would be to most people a fortune, the sum of 5000, is to be expended by the man. agers of the new Taft Hotel on linen alone, according to information just given out. All of this is being man. ufactured by the William O'Dell Com pany, of Belfast, Ireland, and word has been received from them that the full order will be shipped sometime this week. The silverware, which is being manufactured by the Meriden Britannia Company and which will cost fully $25,000, is also expected to be finished and ready for shipment within a short time.
 The work on the hotel is progress ing with satisfactory speed. and John B. Clearmont, of the Hedden Manu- featuring Company, which is doing the work, is so pleased that he has de- cided to give a dinner at the New Haven Lawn club to all the foremen, about forty-six in numbers, tomor- row.

THE STOCK MARKET
(Watson. Alpers & Co,

It requires no extensive canvass of Wall street to disclose that the gen eral sentiment and temper incline to pessimistic views. There are many conditions which discoura cement to a view of the future but there are oth- CTS of a reverse nature nevertheless. We prefer to look beyond the tenn porary phases to the great natural re- sources and immense reserve strength Of the country. We have our present problems-and serious ones at that but the Nation has had others before today and has ultimately worked them out, or worked out of them satisfac- torlly. The investor, at reasonable price levels. can afford to exercise more patience than the speculator; and with our crop values equal to those of year ago. our plentiful SUD. ply of low-cost capital and our gen. erad conditions warranting at least a normal volume of business, the story IS not altogether on the side of des- pOndency

PORTUGUESE REPLACE NEGROES
(Norwalk Hour Oct 21.,

(Norwalk Hour, Oct 21.}
 One hundred Portuguese, fresh from the Azores, have arrived in South NOrwalk, and will work for the Radel Oyster company. as oyster openers. It is understood that the Portuguese will replace the colored help which has been working at the plant, but no information to that effect could be gained from the office of the company this morning.
 The Portuguese are replacing color ed workers and whites, for that mat ter,s in various parts of this country. mostly the East. In Massachusetts and Rhode Island they are not only being used for shore work, but are manning the machinery in the cotton and wooden factories.
 As a class they are quiet and for the most part mind their own busi- ness.

ROOSEvELT'S SRECANTATION

Mr. Roosevelt is passing with more or less rapidity through the phases If a social philosophy which is taking him far beyond the crude ideas that originally constituted his equipment as a reformer. From an opponent If the initiative and referendum, he has turned into a strong advocate of those powers, regardless of the circum- stance that he once advised the peo- pie of Oklahoma not to adopt into their consultations such modern in struments of democracy,ses ts
 The recall for tudsesllae continued to frown upon. In his most recent speech. however, he declares that "contror' of judges is necessary. fail- ing only to specify just what he means by "control'' It can scarcely be doubted that he means the recall, and that he merely hesitates to make open reeantation of heresy AS to the courts he is exceedingiy plain. He says:
 sT have no doubt that the men making the decisions were upright men of high character, but they did as much damage as the worst legis-I lative body, actuated by the worst motives, could possibly have done"
 This is surely a strong indictment of the judicial system. and all the stronger because it is based upon the criticism of upright judges. like the late Justice Harlan.
 Some may doubt the genuineness of MT. Roosevelt's conversion, attri- outing it to his desire to move with. the sentiment of the people, rather than to personal conviction.
 Even so. the thought contains no comfort for the opponents of prog ress No man sees the popular mind more clearly than MT. Roosevelt. He knows that statesman who gets in tho way of the great public opinion Represented by the initiative, refer endum and recall will be rolled flat ter than a pancake"
