On ar irving in Toronto he sent lawyer from that city to Wilton to see if the difficulty could not be patched up. Mrs Cunning refused to make peace. She has brought suit for $100,0 900 against her husband and has also begun divorce proceedings on the ground of cruelty.

TURNED OUT IN THE COLD.
A Meriden Parent Whose Feeling fol
 His Offspring is Unnatural.


 In the Meriden police headquarters yes terday was sight to bring teals from strangers to sympathy. There sat Mrs Thomas Sullivan, her baby at her breast, and no roof to shelter her. For some time past she has been living with her father, whose name is McMahon and who lives on West Pleasant street. About 12 o'clock Saturday night she was awakened by her father ,who came into her room and insisted that she should leave the house. She had to obey, and carrying her year old baby, she went out into the night air.
 Having nowhere else to go she sought the protection of the police. She was given bunk in the station house: Her husband Thomas Sullivan, has been work ing for James Braniard for some time past, and Saturday night he gave her $4 which old man McMahon confiscated. The woman was very reticent about her affairs, but said she knew of no reason why her father should turn her out of doors.

THE WORST NOVEMBER STORM.
Waterbury Gets Her Share of the Novem-
 Der Blizzard.

Waterbury Gets Her Share of the Novem-
 Der Blizzard.
 Probably the worst November storm Waterbury has ever experienced was that of yesterday. The wind howled and the snow and sleet cut the face like needles. Fortunately the temperature was not very low After 12 o'clock the streets were almost deserted and people began to make preparations for the second edition of the March blizzard The snow was dry and fine and crunched under the feet with a rasping sound that told plainer than words that walking was difficult. In the after noon the horse car company found it neces- sary to bring out the big sweeper and sev eral trips were made over the lines Towards evening the wind increased in fury and branches of the trees and fences were blown down in many places. During the night the sleet changed to rain and dis pelled the fears that we were to have an other experience like that of last March. The rain has continued all day and the wind, which seems to blow from all quart CTS simultaneously, has not subsided. The sidewalks and streets are covered with slush in some places to the depth of foot. It is almost impossible to carry an um- brella without its sustaining fatal injuries. About noon the sun tried to peep through the clouds, but gave it up as bad job after few feeble attempts.

A AMUsENIENTs.
"Held by the Enemy"

The career of "Held by the Enemy" Vim Gillette's highly successful American play, which will be presented at Jacques opera house this evening, furnishes peculiar incident in the history of theatri- calls It was written by MT Gillette; it was produced by him backed by his own capital, and it's success is entirely due to his efforts. It is now running at the Theatre Royal, Melbourne, Australia, and at the Vaudeville Theatre, London, where it has already entered it's seventh month.
 Joseph Jefferson.
 Next Tuesday evening at the Jacques opera house will be an artistic event. In tho coming of MT Jefferson we perceive an opportunity that may not occur again for a long time. MT Jefferson Is not only dis tingushed but accomplished artist. Al though his name is familiar to all of us as a household word, we have seen less of his acting than should have been our privilege. During the past few years MT Jefferson s efforts have been confined to the principal cities of the Union. His coming is therefore as we have said, an event of great artistic interest, and we cannot fail to hope that he will be welcomed with the warmth which | is his due.
 Chanfrau as ''Kit."
 No play on the American stage has at tained the popularity which hlt, the Arkansas Traveller" has attained. It has $ record unparalleled in the history of the stage-eighteen consecutive seasons without a break. In these eighteen seasons Kit ha: been presented over 1000 times and wit messed by over three million people, anc still it goes on pleasing the masses and ad ding more and more to it's popularity Chanfrau and "Kit" have been synony nous all these years, the mantle of th' elder Chanfrau falling upon the son. Kit is much improved by the addition of nev scenes and features calculated to add t. the interest of the piece. This attraction is at Jacques opera house on Thanksgiv ing afternoon and evening.

A Slave to DutY.

On election day democratic citizen re- ceived $5 from the Middletown town com mittee to reimburse him for some expen- ses which he had incurred coming home to vote. Afterwards he called upon the com mittee and returned the S5, stating that as he was about to vote he was offered $15 to vote the republican ticket. Having ae- cepted that and cast his ballot for Harri- son and Bulkeley he considered it his duty to return the original 30 to his democratic friends.

 Last evening Officer Mcguire of New Haven found on Grand avenue three boys whose conduct aroused his suspicious. He took them to the station house where $395 was found in the possession of one of them. They said they were John Mattox, aged IS, John Shay, aged 15, and James Hessler, aged F, and that they belonged in Willimantic. Matto1, the one who had the money, said he found it in front of Franklin hall, Willimantic. They will be held until the police officials hear from Willimantic, and probably longer

behalf of Duck Creek hundred, entered
his protest. Nominations were then
begun.
Samuel Armstrong, for North MUIR

John Heyd, South Murderkill, were |
put up and endorsed without trouble. |
But when ]. f. Graham of North Muir !

the representative from Milford hun
dred, the fight began again. The Mil
ford men protested. They had car
ried the hundred 160 to 80, and de-
manded to name their own man. John
Harrington, the choice of the delega-
ton, was defeated, and Bickle nOmina-
ted by a vote of "a to 26.
The remainder of the ticket was then
arranged with an occasional squabble.
On the levy court list the Saulsburys
won the only thing they got during
the day. After hard talk they secured

Short Sermons for Boys.

Most boys and girls do not like
sermons; they say they are too long
for their highness. Perhaps they like
these short sermons. They will give
food to think over, and must not be
read too hastily
A Swedish boy fell out of the WIN
dow and was badly hurt, but, with
clenched lips, he kept back the cry of
pain. The king, Gustavus Adol plus,
who saw him fall, prophesied that
that boy would make a man for an
emergency, And so he did, for he
became the famous General Bauer.
A boy used to crush the flowers to
get their color, and painted the white
side of his fathers cottage in Tyrol
with all sorts of pictures, which the
mountaineers gazed at as wonderful.
He was the great artist Titan.
An old painter watched little fel-
low who amused himself making
drawings of his pot and brushes,
easel and stool, and said: "That
boy will beat me one day" So he
did, for he was Michael Angelo.
A German boy was reading a
Observation-Disclosures novel. Right in
the midst of it he said to himself:
"Now this will never do. l get too
much excited over it. | can't study
so well after it. So here it goes!"
and he flung the book out into the
river. lie was Fichte, the great Ger
man philosopher.
Do you know what these little SER
mons mean? Why, simply this, that
in babyhood and girlhood are shown
the traits for good or evil that make
the men or women good or not

Question.-One man was carrying
a sack full; another was carrying
three sacks; which was carrying the
heaviest load?
Answer. The one that carried the
sack full. Three sacks would not
weigh much. (This is what vulgar
people call "sell. o)
Question.-A room with eight cor
ners, had a cat in each corner, seven
cats before each cat, and a cat on
every cats tail What was the total
number of cats?
Answer.-Eight cats.
Question.-What is the difference
between twenty four-quart bottles,
and four-and-twenty quart bottles?

Question.-What three figures null
tiplied by 4 will make precisely 5?
Answer IA (put decimally),
1.25.
Here is a curious puzzle. Try it
and see what the world thinks of
you. Put down in figures the year
in which you were born; to this add
4; then add your age at your next
birthday, provided it comes before
January LIST, otherwise, your age at
last birthday; multiply result by
1000; from this deduct 77,423;
substitute for the figures correspond
ing letters of the alphabet, as A for
|, B for 2, G for 3, D for 4, etc.
The result will give the name by
which you are popularity KNOWN

The Two White Rats.

Once there were two white rats.
Ones name was Jack and the other
Jake. Their owner was little boy
three years old. He was very fond
of his rats. Early every morning he
would take his pets to the pantry and
put them on the shelves, and they
would help themselves to what they
liked. They were very hungry
once when their little master was
out in the yard playing. They got out
of the cage. No one was near; so
they ran right straight to where he
kept his playthings, got hold of his
incest book and gnawed great holes
in it. When the little boy came in,
what do you think, he went right
to where they were and gave them a
good whipping. And hereafter it
taught them good lesson. L. M.
