REDDY WEIGH
Sentenced to Auburn for Three
Years,
HEADQUARTERS

Martin welch, generally known as "Reddy
Welch," previously convicted OF robbing Dr..
Albert E. Hayden while intoxicated OF $40,
was to-day, in the Criminal Court, sentenced by
Justice wylie to three years in the Auburn
State prison. His Honor said that he was sat
isfied that this was a case deserving the ex-
treme penalty OF the law, and he should i'm
pose 1t. Reddy pleaded for mercy, and asked
that his sickly state be considered, and that he
had been employed at work until last October.
His Honor thought that his sickness did not
bother him much until he got into trouble, and
the kind OF work he had recently been engaged
In was to be condemned and punished.
Reddy has been in the Albany penitentiary,
and was pardoned out with the assurance that
he was coming back here to die. He now goes
back to prison ito Auburn this tmel, some
people may think for failure TO carry out the
contract, but he don't look at It that way. This
time he starts In under a sick notice. and the
public may expect to hear, within n year, the
old story that he is dying in the penitentiary,
and of attempts being made TO secure his re-
lease, that he may die without its walls.

(Mrs. Trehune), the wife of the pastor
of the First Congregational Church, in
Springfield, Mass, planned the archi-
lecture of their own home. and although
she had amassed large fortune by her
pen, she is described by a recent guest,
as "a model wife and mother" While
her paintings adorn the walls, and the
furniture is decorated by her own hands,
her kitchen is the crown of her home,
for in this room she is queen, and she
affirms the more woman knows the
better house-keeper, wife and mother
she can be. With all those occupations,
she has class of forty young men in
her husbands Sunday-school, which
numbers 500. Rose Terry Cook, in her
old-fashioned country home, at Winsted,
