the goat out. The minister who
comes to see ma every three times
a week was Just ringing the bell,
and the goat thought he wanted to

ised to marry him, but immediate.

could not be. She told the mother
superior of the convent about it,
and she said she might go to
Chicago, Milwaukee or some dis
tant city and consult some priest,
a stranger. who, disintcreSted,
would give her advice. She went
to Milwaukee and consulted with a
priest, who told her that if She
wished she could have her VOWS
cancelled and marry. She said size

doctor, and he denied all threats
and violence, said he really loved
Sister Paul, and wished to marry
her, and asked her to write To the
bishop and get a dispcnsation. I
told Sister Mary Paul of my inter

marriage here in Iankton would
not be a kindness to the convent;
that if she wished to marry it
should be done in some distant
place and in the proper manner.
She still insisted strongly that she
never would marry him, but she
said she had deceived him, and
wished to have one interview with
INN to eXplain all.
This interview Father Willard
arranged to take place in his own
house, and it was agreed that they
were never to marry. But the
doctor said she must leave town.

it would improve our minds and
learn us to be men. So me and
chum borrowed a goat that lived
in n livery stable. Say, do you
know they keep a goat in a livery

of a goat and after that nothing
can make them sick but a glue

would get used to the smell. |
went home with her from church
ON Sunday night, and the smell of
the goat on my clothes made her
sick to the stummick, and she act
cd Just like an excursion on the
lake, and said if ! didn't go and
bury myself aud take the smell out
of me she wouldn't never go with
me again. She was Just as pale as
a ghost and the PRECIPITATION on
her lip was just zif she had been
bit by a street sprinkler. You see
my chum and me had to carry the
goat up in my room when pa and
ma was out riding, and he battled
SO that we had to tie a handker-
chief around his nose, and his
feet made such a noise on the floor
that we put some baby socks on
his feet. Gosh how frowzy a goat
smells, don't it! | should think

Take a mule and annoint it with

Just as bad as with a gosh darned
widowed goat. Well sir, my
chum and me practiced with that
goat until he could butt a picture
OF another goat every time. We
borricd a buck beer sign from a
saloon man, and hung it ON the
back of a chair, and the goat
would hit it every time. That
night pa wanted to know what we
were doing up in my room, and
told him we were playing lodge,
and improving our minds, and pa
said that was right, there was moth
ing that did boys of our age halt
so much good as to initiate men,
and store by useful knowledge.
Then my chum asked pa if he
didn't want to come up and take
the grand bumper degree, and he
LATED and said he didn't care if he
did, just to encourage us boys in
innocent pastime, that it was SO
improving to our intcllcX. We
had shut the goat up in a closet in
my room, and he had got ovel
batting, so we took off the hand
kerchict, and he was eating some
Of my paper collars and skate
straps. We went up stairs and
told pa to come up pretty 500 and
give three distinct raps, and When
we asked him who comes there,

up it would break up the lodge.

We desire to place on record our high ap

Obituary.


Death OF Henry TrONvbrtdge'
Mr.. Henry Trowbridge died at MS resi-
dence on Temple street last evening at SIX
o'clock after an illness Of several weeks, sur
rounded by all the members of his family,
aged 81 years, 1 month and days In his
death the city loses gentleman OF the high
est integrity and personal character, citl-
zen whose loss is a public loss. When out
riding about a week ago he was seized with a
congestive chill. Immediately upon his re-
turn his family physician was summoned and
he rallied and hopes were entertained that he
would soon recover his accustomed degree
of health Before being taken down he was
arranging to leave the city in about two
weeks for Princeton, Mass, to remain there
with his family couple of months, taking
the benefit of quiet, rest and change of air,
and when he improved he again had the plan
under serious contemplation. But an un-
favorable change occurred and typhoid ma
larial fever supervened, causing his death.
For several months past his health had been
impaired.
Mr., Trowbridge was a son of Henry and
Harriet (HaJes) Trowbridge, born April
%, 1916 He had always been identified
with the commerce of the town. He spent
several years in the West Indies and on be-
coming of age, in 1886, became member of
the house of H. Trowbridge's Sons & Dwight
On the dissolution of that firm in 1847 he
became member of the firm of Fl. Trow-
bridge 81 Sons and at the death of his father
in lS49 he with his three brothers established
the present firm of H. Trowbridge's Sons, in
which he continued till his death. Mr.. Trow-
bridge was for nearly forty years identified
with the New Haven bank as director and
vice president. He had also held various
positions of trust in different institutions
of the city and town. lie had al
WAYS been an attendant of the Center
church and a member of that church IN the
neighborhood of thirty years. He had long
occupied important positions on the pr1ncl-
pal committees of the church and society.
MIR. Trowbridge was a kind parent and an
affectionate husband. He was twice married.
His first wife was Miss Southgate, grand
daughter of Noah Webster. His second
wife who survives him, was Miss Hull,
daughter of Edward Hull, Brooklyn. The
following children survive him: Mrs. Sllas
E. Burrows. of New Haven Mrs. S. G..
Powell. of Newport; Mrs Henry L. ao H4n
kiss. of New Haven; Mrs. Denton, of New
Haven; and an only son, Courtland Hall
Trowbridge, aged ID.
Mr.. Trowbridge lost several children, one
the wife of William H. Allen, and two SONS
and daughter. In memory of his son Stu
art and his daughter Virginia he founded the
Trowbridge Reference Library of Yale col
lege in the theological department. The idea
of such a library was borrowed from the
British Museum, in the reading room of
which are placed the books most frequently
called for in every department of knowledge.
Deceased had travelled extensively in Eu-
rope. He was a man of quiet life, unosten
ttious and most estimable citizen. The
funeral takes place on Thursday at 1-2
o'clock.

Committee on water.

The Committee on Water held meeting in
the Mayors Office last evening, Alderman
Coffee presiding. The object of the meeting
was to consider the location of pump at the
junction of Congress avenue and Washington
street. 1t is proposed to purchase part of
John Stars building which is about Is by
II feet, at an estimated cost of about 81, 500
and the well and pump it was estimated
would cost about $500 more.
j. B. Sargent appeared before the commit
tee and said his attention had been drawn to
the fact that poor people could not afford to
take ice and there were no advantages OF
wells for drinking purposes in GER
tain sections of the city. He thought
pure cold water was promotive of temper
ance and religion, and with this view he
thought there should be more public wells.
He said there was an old well located at this
point which was really of no value, and
which had not been opened for several
years. He suggested that the old engine
house belonging to MIR. Starr be purchased,
Green or perhaps more modest In its appear
ance be erected where all the people in that
vicinity could have free access for
the purpose of obtaining clear,
cold water. As taxpayer,
Mr. Sargent said he was more willing to pay
taxes for purposes like this than for music
on the Green or purposes of like charac-
ter.
1t was voted to lay the matter on the table
until Friday night, and in the meantime Mr..
Sargent volunteered to ascertain what the
land of Mr.. Starr would cost and report at
the next meeting
