Preparing for a Hard Winter.
The Fuel savings Society is the name ..
of an 'organizatiofi which has been
formed in Hartford in order to induce
the worthy and industrious poor to
cultivate habits of economy and provi-
dence. Deposits from one cent to one
dollar will be received, but the aggre-
gate deposits which any person may
make are limited to the price of three
tons of coal. Deliveries‘of fuel will be
made after December , 1st. In warm
weather many poor people are able to
lay aside something from their earn-
ings, and the Hartford organization is
designed to encourage such folks to
save their surplus earnings, however
trifling ‘for future needs rather than to
spend them imprOvidently. The society
seems to be based on the sound doctrine
of helping those who help themselves.
The coal is sold at actual cost at whole-
sale, to all depositors.

Our Arctic Vovagers.
The telegraphic dispatches in to-day’s
anfi'rrn, give details of the misfor-
tunes that-pursued the unlucky Miranda
party to the end. After’the wreck of.
their own vessel they were brought safe
to port by a fishing schooner and then
set out for home on the steamship Por-
tia. When near Vineyard Sound on
Monday the Portia ran into a schooner,
the collision causing the loss of four of .
the five men on board. Dr. Cook, the
leader of the party which set out for
Greenland on the Miranda, professes
not to be discouraged by the series of
disasters which attended his venture,
but the experience of that ill-starred
vessel will not tempt many persons to
visit the Arctic region for a summer
outing. " Exceptional dangers must
alwaysgaltend a journey thither, and
on the whole it is not desirable that
Greenland should become a summer
resort for the people of the United
States. _ , ‘

Cooking by Electricity. _‘
This subject is now‘engaging the act-
ive interest of scientists and inventors
all over the world. At the World’s
Fair and at the National Food exhibit
at Washington last winter, electrical
ranges were in successful practical op-
eration. Mr. Dana of the Sun, who
has recently returned from Europe,
gives this further contribution to the
subject, and says that electrical cook-
ing is coming into high favor across
the ocean, and many of the best res-
taurants in London and elsewhere are
installing electric cooking apparatus
throughout their culinary departments.
In many cases the electric apparatus
mer ely‘ supplements gas or coal fires,
but in saveral instances the electric
system has entirely superseded coal or
gas. The proprietor of a large and
noted restaurant makes a very effective
advertisement out of his electrical
plant, and has issued the following no-
tice:
“Although electricity has been pub-
licly demonstrated tOfbe capable of use
for the generation of heat for culinary
purposes, and although its advantages
of freedom from dirt, dust, odor of
vitiated atmosphere is fully proved, I
claim to be the first in Europe to en-
tirely adopt the system, which not only
insures cleanliness, but at the same
time places at the disposal of the chef a
means of absolutely controlling the
temperature to suit the requirements
of particular dishes. Visitors are
invited to inspect the electrical arrange-
ments at any time, except during the
busy luncheon hours.”

Views on the Tariff.
The Herald is engaged in the very
interesting and educational Work of
obtaining and publishing the opinions
of leading public men upon the effect
the new democratic tariff is likely to
have upon the business interests of the
country. Among many others, the
Herald gives these opinions of No-
braska’s brilliant Senator, Manderson.
The Herald truly remarks that these
opinions are worth reading by repub-
licans and democrats alike.
Senator Charles F. Manderson, the
senior Nebraska Senator, is a careful,
conscientious man, whose membership
in the upper House is an honor to that
dignified body, and whose ability is
undoubted. Said the Senator :
”The tariff hasmade an issue too
costly for people to bear without great
(hardship, and _too nearly ruinous to
private enterprise for it to be accepted
in the future as a campaign issue pure
The country was very
prosperous when the democrats took
charge of the government in all its
branches, but see what a vast change
theagitationof this question of revenue
tariff against a protective tariff has
wrought. _ It has cost billions.”
“There is a growmg sentiment,” con-
tinued he, “that some permanent dis-
position should be made of the ques-
tion, so that in the future changes may
be “made inthe tariff schedules without
causing such .w1despread . disaster and
distress. It is the opinion of many
that the question, .sofar as it is prac-
ticable, should be taken out of the do-
main of politics, and that in the future
a commission be appointed‘from among
the very best men in the. country to
determine any question that .may arise
withreference to customs and protect-
ive duties." _ g .»

' Mrs. Benham‘é'StarBoarder-
The following is clipped from a _re-
cent copy of the New York Morning
Journal: '
Is there .a cowhide for George Mer-
rill ? - ‘ .
Some of the neighbors of Mrs. Louise
Benham, who lives on the third floor
of “The Tower” apartment house, at
No. 100 West Ninety-seventh street,
say that George Merrill, her star board-
er, stands in imminent danger of be-
ing severely thrashed by a young woman
who has been lying in wait for him in
8.1 nightspast.
Merrill keeps a fish and oyster mar-
ket at No. 671 Columbus avenue. He
does not live in Mrs. Benham’s flat, but
takes his meals there with great regu-
larity. In fact, as Mrs. Benham said
to a Morning Journal reporter, she
looks upon him as one of the family.
She did not volunteer this information,
however, until she had definitely ascer-
tained that the reporter had found out
all about Merrill and his relations With
the mysterious visitor With the cow-
hide. Her first statement was that she
did not know Merrill nor the woman
who had vowed vengeance against her.
“There’s not a word of truth in it,”
she exclaimed. “There ain’t any Mr.
Merrill here, so there i” ‘ .
“What! She says he promisedvto
marry her ? Well, I declare! I don’t
see how he could do that when he has
a wife already.” ' -
But here Mrs. Benham realized that
she had, figuratively speaking, put both
feet into it, and she bit her scarlet lips
with annoyance. Mrs. Benham is an
elderly woman, with ruddy cheeks and
bright yellow hair. The latter. is her
most conspicuous feature. It is p081-
tively dazzling.
It must have dazzled the fishmonger,
for ever since he ' has been boarding
with its owner he has completely de-
serted the poor little girl- who says that
he plighted his troth to her two years
ago. Despite the disparity in their
ages, George Merrill and Mrs. Benham
are inseparable. He not only spends
every evening with her, and frequently
. takes her to theatres and other places
cf amusement, but scarcely a day passes
“that he does not snatch a little time
from business to pay her a visit. . .
And Kate McKeever—poor child—is
jealous. It is not that the fiishmonger
is phssessed of any fatal fascination so
far as a casual observer can determine,
but he was probably the girl’s first
lover. -
Infatuated Katie certainly is, although
she swore stoutly to the . Journal re-
porter that she cared for him no longer,
but merely wanted to let Mrs. Benham
know how slightingly George had been
in the habit of speaking about her (Mrs.
Benham,) behind her back. '
”Why, he used to laugh at her,” she
said, “and he told me that she put stuff
on her hair to make it yellow.” _
As for the cowhide, Kate said that
was all nonsense. ,Shc also denied
having written anonymous letters to
"Mrs. Benham—letters in which the red
cheeks and yellow hair were particular-
ized in quite a picturesque way. .
“Did you ever hear that Mr. Merrill
was married ? ” asked the reporter.
“No indeed,” returned Kate. “We
kept company for two years, and he
always told me he was a single man.”
George Merrill looked annoyed when
the subject was broached to him. He
declared that he had told Kate long ago
that he had a wife in the country. He
refused however to give any informa-
tion an out Mrs. Merrill, except that he
was no living with her. _ _
Miss Kate McKeever is quite pretty
and dresses well. She lives at No. 144
West Ninety-third street.

Consecrated by Ages.
Must the sweetheart kiss, the nuptial
salute and the press of the lip to lip be
banished at the sanitary command of
science ? These are queres now agitating
family circles that have already been
shocked to learn that the bacilli lurk in
couches and satin pillows and that poi-
son taints the brims of communion or
loving cups as these pass holily or fes-
tally from mouth to month. But a
crowning sadness visits households
when medical science pronounces the
kiss as likely to extend infection of
diphtheria or bronical and lung troubles.
The horrible thought brings up the two
lines of a hymn current at houses of
worship.
Each pleasure hath a poison. too,
And every bliss a snare.
The idea becomes sug estively painful
that perhaps the Bear of Health may
take the matter up and declare kissing
to be a sanitary misdemeanor. Second
thoughts, however, suggest that neither
science or sanitary ordinances can al-
ter the instincts of human nature. No
tarifi‘ laws have ever yet been able to
stop the delightful smuggling, of jewels,
laces and gloves ; and kissing embalm-
ed in a thousand poems and consecrated
byages of love-making, cannot but van-
quish science—Exchange.

Mr. Kowlng Shuts Off Traffic.
E. W. Kowing, proprietor of the
Riverside hotel at the Milford end of
the Washington bridge, displayed a
kind of firmness yesterday that was
extremely inconveniencing to persons
who had occasion to cross. Mr. Kow-
ing alleges that the land comprised in
the Milford approachwas purchased of
him by the town, the selectmen agree-
ing to pay him within a certain time.
They have not paid him and therefore
he built a barrieracross the. approach,
placing two men there to see that it was
not removed. At 11 o’clock 60 teams
were held back on the Milford side.
Kowing’s men would permit teams to
cross one way, but not both ways. A
hurried consultation was held with the
selectmen by the team owners With the
result that an agreement was reached
'by which Mr. Kowingagree‘d to take
down his fence and let the people by.

mind the rest of the story and how she
so shifted seats thather-dear friend was

46 years old and so must have been born
in or about 1848. The Norwalk acci-

The Laxow Committee.
William Applegate told the Lexow
committee yesterday a remarkable story
concerning the manner-in which police
protection has been afforded to-green
gJOOds .swindlers in New Yerk city.
eteotive Sergeant Charles A. Hanley,
of the Central Office, he said, was for
ears the near friend of "Jimmy” Mc-
ally, the king of these robbers. He
kindly. warned the thief when orders
were issued for the arrest of his band
of thieves. . ‘
‘ Applegate’s story is similar to that
told by George Appo, but it goes fur-
ther into details. This young man says
he was McNally’s-confidential clerk for
years, and that he in person paid bribes
to Detective Sergeant Hanley and to
Police Captains Meakim and Price.
He declares that detectives at the Penn-
sylvania and Grand Central Railroad
stations aided green goods “st'cerers”
to bring “guys” to this city, and that
they frightened the victims away when
and tried to find the swindlers. '
