LEAVE Renaissance TO MEN
Seldom Does One Hear Woman,
Though Possessed Of Wealth,
Boast of Being Self-Made.

Men often brag about being self
made, but whoever heard woman In
her box at the Metropolitan or at tea
at the Ritz-Carlton describe her rise
from hired girl or millhand?
Practically all American men are
self-made. and when Andy and John
d. and the rest get together. 1t Is their
delight to talk of the days when they
hoed potatoes at 80 cents week or
ran errands at $3.50. They talk, In
deed, with much more intelligence
and animation about such things than
about their fake Raphaels and Corots.
But practically all our women are
seK-made, too, and locked in their
breasts are the ltveliest memories OF
being fired from the shoe factory for
sassing the boss, of taking In washing
while John was sick and out OF work,
and so forth and so on. But do our
women, initiating our men, narrate
these youthful memories between the
acts of Butterfly at the opera, between
the langouste a la Colbert and the
chaufroid de gibier?
Never! But languid1y lifting their
gold lorgnettes, they talk Of their
new limousines. their rivieres Of dia-
monds, their dog collars Of pearls, and
here one tells an anecdote about her
grandson, the little Earl Of Wessex,
and there q one-time shopgirl de-
sribes the success of her daughter,
the marquiss, amongst the proud old
royalties of the Faubourg Saint Ger
main.
And does all this indicate that our
self-made women are vainer than our
self-made men. or does it indicate
that they are wiser?

Harry Lauder, the Scotch come
dian, tells a story of an English no
bleman.
His lordship was introduced to me
at the Tivoli one night so the story
begins. 'He asked me to dine with
him. I accepted. and then he hest
tated and said:
81 don't mean at my home, you
know. My wife doesn't approve Of
emusic hall people, you know. l
mean at my club
At your club?' said l, with hor-
rified look. oh. no. No. thank you,
my lord. I'm sorry to have to decline,
but the fact is, you know, my wife
doesn't-er-approve of clubmen'

SPECIAL coNsTABLEs.
pr. Thompson Places Guard on Mchon House to Maintain Quarantine-One New Case

As it has been reported that mem bers of the Michon family on Norwich avenue, who are under quarantine be- cause of smallpox, have broken quar- antine at least once, and possibly more than once Dr. George Thompson has deemed it best to place a special con stable on guard near the house. Fred Hasler of Hunters avenue has been appointed to fill the position. As a further safeguard, Dr. Thompson has a second special constable who patrols the streets of the village on which there are quarantines. to prevent any other possible breaks.
 One other case has been discovered and the house has been placed under quarantine. The patient is A. Rivard of Front street, and his case is mild The man keeps several boarders, but as they have previously had smallpox Dr. Thompson did not think it necessary to keep them under quarantine. After having their clothes fumigated they were allowed to take up their residence elsewhere

The schooner was for merly the Niagara and was built at Athens, N Y, in 1855.

PHENoMENALLY HIGH TIDE
 ALONG THE SHORE. New London Ferryboat Had Hard Time on Friday-Ocean Beach .Iooded in Places.


 One of the highest tides seen along the sound shore fer many years. caused trouble for ferryboat Governor Win throp at New London Friday morning. Capt. Levi Miller of the Governor Winthrop had a strong current te con- tend with, which, added to the high water, caused the boat to hang up twice on a cluster of spiles, just south of the New London ferryslip in the rear of the G. M. Long company's fish market.
 About s.9O o'clock the ferryboat was swung below the slip by the strong tide and struck the spiles, the river being so nigh that the wooden posts caught Tn the woodwork of the overhang on the ferryboat Captain Miller rang for .hlI speed astern and the boat freed heFseH. An hour or so later, how ever, when the Governor Winthrop again missed the slip and hung LID on the same spiles, her own mower was not sufficient to back her off and it was necessary to call tug Miles Stan dish to do the work. After that the trips were on schedule time and un- eventfu1
 Wagons had considerable difficulty in boarding the ferryboat, for the tide raised the float of the slip to several feet higher than is ordinarily the case This caused a steep incline over which horses and outos had to pass upon boarding the boat The wet and slip pery surface occasioned much extra work on the part of the horses. A three ton truck was held up for sev- eral trips being unable to get aboard the boat because there was not suffi- cient space between the surface and the electric light on the arch overhead to allow the big truck to pass under.
 The tide, impelled by southeasIerty and easterly winds for the last two days, rose to record height Friday. At 7.48, when the tide was supposed to
