Is SHE FEMALE DIOGENES +?
A Connecticut Girl Who Wanders About With
Lighted Lantern.
Danbury News.

In one Of the vicinity towns there is a
yound girl, about TIVE lve years of age,
afflicted with strange mania. She is
large for her age, of fine physique, pos
sessed of good features and more than
ordinarily prepossessing. She is robust
in health and shows great activity, and
is unusually smart and intelligent, with
the exception of this mania. Every
night about O'Clock she will go to a
neighbours house to borrow q lantern.
Each time she will make a new excuse
for doing so. If she succeeds in getting
the lantern she then takes long walks.
She does not confne herself to the pub
tic highways, but waAders about the
fields and in the woods. She does not
seem to know what fear is, either of man
Or beast. She frequently perches her
self upon a fence and sits there 3 long
time, dangling her lantern. About 10
o'clock she returns home and goes to bed
contented. Her friends, of course, OBJ
jact to these lantern strolls, and she
has to steal away. Those of her neigh
bors who know about them refuse her a
lantern. She has a number of times
greatly frightened persons, which seems
to please her amazingly. She is in no
respect hayward, but seems possessed of
strange and fascinating mania for q
lantern.

BOYS AS INVENTORS.
The Valve Motion to the Steam Engine apC
the Power Loom.
Exchange

Some of the most important inven-
tions have been the work of mere BOYS.
The invention Of the valve motion to the
steam engine was made by a boy. Watt
left the engine in a very incomplete con
dition, from the fact that he had no way
to open or close the valves, except by
means Of levers operated by hand. He
set ~ a large engine at one OF the mines,
and a boy was hired to work these valve
levers Although this was not hard work,
yet it required his constant attention.
AS he was working these levers he saw
the parts of the engine moved IN the
right direction, and at the exact time ne
had to open or close the valves.
He produced q long, strong cord, and
made one end fast to the proper part OF
the engine and the other to the valve lev
er. Then he he had the perfect salts
faction of seeing the eninge move off
with perfect regularity of motion. A
short time after the foreman came around
and saw the boy playing marbles at the
door Looking at the engire he soon saw
the ingenuity of the boy, and also the az
vantage of so great an invention. Mr..
Watt then carried out the boys inventive
genius in a pratical form, and made the
Sl6dL1 Gig I440 J5LlSOL dubSuldG1S HOLh-
ing machine.
The power loom is the invention OF a
farmer boy, who had never seen or heard
of such thing. He cut out one with a
knife, and after he had got it all done he
with great enthusiasm showed 1t 20 his
father, who at once kicked it to pieces,
saying that he would have no boy about
him who would spend his time on such
foolish things. The boy was afterward
apprenticed to blacksmith, and he soon
found that his new master was kind and
took q lively interest in him. He made
a loom of what was left of the one his
father had broken up, which ne showed
to his master. The blacksmith saw that
he had no common boy for an appren-
tice, and that the invention was very
valuable one.
He Immediately had a loom constructed
under the supervision OF the boy. 1t
worked TO their perfect satisfaction, and
so the blacksmith furnished the means 10
manufacture the looms, the boy TO receive
one-half the profits. In about year the
blacksmith wrote to the boys father that
he would visit him and BRING with him q
wealthy gentleman, who was the inventor
of the celebrated power loom. You may
be able to judge the establishment of the
old man when his son was presented q.
the inventor, who told him the loom wa;
the same as the model he (the father has
kicked to pieces year before.

it being part of the Indian Territory as

on behalf of the United States, which
territory the state of Texas also claims
title to and jurisdiction over: and
WHEREAS, the said conflicting claims
grow out of the controversy existing be-

POSITION TO PERJURY.
The Once Proud Gen. Reno Becoming
Subject for Public Pity.
Begging for Work at the Doors OF
Public Officials at Washington.

II am in need OF money and am not
ashamed to work for it." Thus at one
time spoke Ulysses S. Grant, when he
was an ex-army officer and INDECENT.
The same language was to day used by
Mai. RenO, the man who failed to march
to the relief of Custer On the Little Big
Horn in time to prevent the massacre.
Poor Reno, how he has fallen ever since
that campaign Gradually, step ny step,
he has come from his splendid position
ia the regular army, until now he is an
employe in the pension Office. Senator
Davis, CT Minnesota, has been his friend
in need. For the past two years Reno
has been getting nearer aEd nearer to
the door which opens upon abject power
ty. The Indulgence in alcoholic drinks
has not tended to lift Kim to more
elevated plane. His rooms at the Na-
tional hotel in Washington, have long
since been given up. The handsome
turnout has disappeared. The sturdy
figure has been seen latterly as peces-
trian and not as q graceful driver Of a
fiery steed. Always soldierly in bearing,
with a head and face so strong that it
has attracted attention on every hand,
he has walked from proud position to
penury. Hence, as he reported for duty
to-day to an excellent veteran general
am in need of money, and am not
ashamed to work for it." The scene was
dramatic, thrilling, yet pitiful. Grant
rose from humber circumstances. That
Reno may also rise is a sincere wish of
all who know him. He is q soldier of
magnificent natural ability, supplements
ed by West Points rigid training, educa-
ton and discipline. Poor Reno!

wool as an article not to be protected.
His whole Argument rested upon the ALE
cation that the price of wool was in
creased in the extent of the duty, and
that but for the duty the merchant could
buy this wool cheaper IN South America
and Australia. This argument was fall
lacious. because the destruction of the
wool industry in the United States would
at once advance the price of wool in for
eign markets. But even if the argument
were true it would apply as well
TO al the domestic production
and to all the manufacturers.
Wool was the completed article of the
farmer, just as cloth was of the manufac-
tHrer and as q coat was of tie tailor, and
the objection that the duty on wool raised
the price TO the consumer, applied as well
(if true) to the duty on cloth and on every
article on the tariff list. The all suf6
cient answer was that the duty er
couraged the production of woo,,
the manufacture of cloth and OF
the infinite variety of articles pro-
duced by American labor competing with
foreign labor. He regarded home pro-
Importance than the manufactures.
There was but one rule which had to be
applied TO all industries impair tally, and
that was to give to all forms of American
labor which have to compete with for
eign labor that fair and reasonable ad
vantage and protection which would give
the American producer home market
for home products.

BERLIN LETTER.
4 Review of the Relations Existing Between
the Nations

Review of the Relations Existing Between
the Nations
BERLIN, Jan. IA calm which official
and diplomatic circles know to be decep-
tive prevails for the moment. The Aus
TRAN and Russian governments have ex-
changed assurances of peace aspirations,
TO which nobody attaches the slighte ST
Importance. The only actual change in
the situation tending toward peace is the
resumption of negotiations between Count
KaIuoky, Austrian foreign ambassador,
ard Prince Lobanoff, Russian ambassa-
dor at Vienna, for settlement of the
balance OF power in the Balkan PENN
sgla. The negotiations are expected by
both sides to end in an exact definition
of the respective demands, such as here
tofore has not existed, and from which
may be obtained valid excuse for war.
According to q semI-official dispatch
received from Vienna tonight Prince
Lobanoff has opened his diplomatic cam
paign by proposing as the first step
toward the removal of Prince Ferdinand
from the throne of Bulgaria under the
joint mandate of the powers, the
election of new prince by the new
sObranje and the reappOintment OF
Russian officers to the Bulgarian army.
The proposal specifies that the new
prince must be member of the Ortho-
dox Greek church, and the sobranje to be
Sc elected as to enable Russia to recog-
niz9 it as being legally constituted. In
the meantime the foreign Office here
holds aloof from negotiations, which are
recognized as feelers by Russia toward
the other demand. The czar's ministers
already know that Count Kaluoky will
not admit that the Berlin treaty gives
Russia any special right TO interfere in
Bulgaria. They know, also, that it is
impossible to obtain from the powers
Joint mandate. Baffled on these points,
Russia will raise new question on
the Austrian retention of Bosnia
and Herzegovina. These provinces
were occupied under purely
temporary title, but are now prac
tically annexed. Austria will be called
upon to evacuate them, and it
it is probable that the question of their
future administration will be referred to
confidence of the powers. The total
force of Russian soldiers in Warsaw,
wilma and Kief districts, according to
the military estimate, reaches 1926, 600
men with 720 guns. Cavalry regiments
stationed Immediately on the frontier
are being supplied with rations on the
same scale as during an actual campaign.
Everything points to the conclusion that
the car means to enforce his terms, if
not by diplomacy by war. The attitude
of England in the event of hostilities
will be one of friendly neutrality. This
fact is known TO the Berlin foreign
