rhe sbip,,a Rat.

The black rat is the ships rat, and ft travels from country to country. The animal is found universally over the Monte Be11o group of islands, even on the small outlying ss1ets which are never visited, on which it occurs most abundantly. It's presence is attributed to schooner which was wrecked some twelve years ago, for 1t Is well known that this rat is a good swimmer It is curious to find that this animal, which ts now so rare in it's native countries as to be looked upon as a great cuTios- iey, should usually be one of the first species to populate new lands where lt is comparative1y free from competi- ton.

STOCK LIST FALLS
 AFTER EARLY RUSH

New York, July L-Opening--Con ditions abroad were probably respon- sibIe for the moderate setback regis tered by the local stock market in to- days early dealings. International is- sues ruled lower in London where ap- prehension regarding the situation in Ulster was felt The deadlock in the Mexican negotiations also exerted an adverse influence.
 Losses did not exceed fractions and in most cases recover1es speedily en- sued The only gains Of note were Atlantic Coast Line, Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Liggitt & Meyers pre- ferred, which advanced a point The trading was fairly active with indica- tions of some investment demands.
 NooIl=Quotation again receded af- ter the first rush of short covering, that movement constituting a large par of the first hours activity. The market then drifted idly with business at low ebb Expiration of the bond conversion privilege accounted for the comparative strength of Brooklyn Transit but such changes as were rec orded elsewhere had no especial sig niftcance Gains Of to 2 points in various industrial securities of a spec ulative character attracted little atten- ton
 Bonds were irregular, Rock Island -eollatera1s ruling firm in the face of unfayora:ble May earnings.

 Many are the eccentrieities to which wills have borne testimony from time to time. The Earl of Portarlington left Instructions that he should be buried with all his rings on his. fingers. The late Earl of OfKRey stipulated that ae should be taken to the ceme- tery in an old fashioned hearse, SO that the comn could not be seen and that no flowers should be placed on his grave He also left word that his eoronet would be found by his nephew and successor .s1n cellar" of his house.
 A Vienna millionaire, who died re gently, left a sum of money with which to defray the cost of twelve months electric lighting, not only Of his vault, but even of the very comm fn which he was buried Less partfcu- lar was the Frenchman who asked that his body should be thrown into fine sea mile from the English coast
 He was, too, so dtae1sfed with his own country that E1s would neither be buried there nor allow any of his rela- lives or fellow countrymen to benefit by Els death He left the whole of his money to the poor of london London Globe.

WOMEN DISAPPOINTED BY VIII SONS STAND. ON
 SUFFRAGE QUESTION

Washington. July s1--President Svil- sons decination to acquiesce in de- mands of women sunragists that he use his influence for the passage by Congress of constitutionaI amend ment granting them the right to vote occasioned considerable comment here today. His views on the subject were made known to members of the Gener- al Federation of Women's Clubs who marched to the White House yesterday to enlist his aid in behalf Of women suffrage To them he announced for the first time that the suffrage question was one for settlement by the states and not by the federal government He also reiterated his statement to previous delegations that his party had not embodied the question in it's platform
 The President's answer to the wom- en is regarded here as final so far as he is concerned In suffrage cir cIes today the Presidents attitude caused keen disappointment.

.ROTON POINT WILL
 FIGHT COMPLAINT

NorwaEIk July 1-sskae action t1f s.er- tain wealthy residents and land own CTS of Tokeneke who have brought suit against the management of Roton Point Park to recover Sz5.ooO dam ages for alleged -nuisances'' has pro duced a. result that must have Sur- prised the men who began the agfta- ton Last night the NorwaIIx Cham Der of Commerce unanimously en- dorsed the park. and it's manager. Neville Bayley. at well attended meeting
 Mi BayIey was present on invita- ton and in a. short address pointed to the fact that no city could expect the increase of nanufacturing plants without clean and decent places Of amusement He cited instances when he was connected with like enterprises in Pittsburgh. and other large cities. Where al public park properly con ducted had a. direct influence on the location of new industries.
 Over one hundred of the county workers for women's suffrage for Fairfield county held their regular bd- monthly meeting at Roton Point Park on Monday, and after enjoying the dzintiest of 1uncheons in the beauti- ful Casino restaurant, passed the fol- lowing resolution.
 We the county workers for sui frage in Fairfield county do heartily endorse the present successful move n1enf to make Roton Point safe and sound playground for the children and a recreation park for the people We find here no objectionable features and many fine ones We should gres]zy depIore any action which might throw this lovely spot into the hands of g. management less scrulpuI- ous'
 When the matter of granting a tenn porary Injunction comes up before Judge Futile in the superior court in Bridgeport on Friday, July 1 9th there will surely be one of the largest dele gatfone from this city that have ever attended a like hearing. 4 large ma- Jority of them will be ready to testify in favor of Roton Point Park, if called as witnesses Over 500 residents of Rowayton. Darien, Belle Island, and Hickory Bluff. have signed a paper endorsing the present manasrenent of the park, the majority of them living much nearer to the alleged ss1aufs- ancess, than those who are bringing the suit
 The wording of the complaint has caused much resentment. as the high est class of people from this and neighboring cities are regular visitors 10 Roton Point Park It does not suit them to hear that they conduct them selves in "a noisy. indecent. and v1o- 1s1x manner

Ibse.1 and Love.

Tennyson says that it. is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Ibsen mafntained-not in a general philosophical way, but with respect to the conditions he saw im- mediateIy around him-that it is bet ter, if youthful1y, romantically in love, to separate rather than to marry. Ib- sen is in agreement with the brilliant Frenchman who asserted that all com edies end with wedding. becaEse it is then that the tragedy begins From Archibald Henderson's European Dramatists."
