| The Oregon shivered from stem to

and then slowly righted herself. 1t was

The little vessel righted herself, how.

A New Haven Woman Takes the
Law Into Her own Hands.


Law Into Her own Hands.
NEW HAVEN, July 31.-During the
last few days, numerous complaints
have been made to City Attorney Daily
by young men who have been publicly
horsewhipped by an enraged young
woman. The trouble dates back about
two months when a young man named
Frederick Miller and a young woman
named Julia Curtin, whose sister is the
wife of Miller, appeared before City At
torney Daley and asked for a warrant
for the arrest of one William Brennan.
They wanted Brennan arrested for Sc
duction and the charge was preferred by
Miss Curtin. The parties interested in
the case all reside in the vicinity of Oak
and Broad streets. The city attorney re-
fused to issue warrant for Brennan's
arrest but advised the parties to try to
come to some agreement. Brennan,
learning that warrant was being
sought for suddenly left for parts un-
known. Since Brennan's flight, a num-
Der of his friends have tried to settle the
case but to no purpose as she would ac-
cept no settlement but marriage. Miss
Curtin heard that a number of stories
were being circulated about her char
acter. On last Thursday night Beck
Miller, a chum of Brennan's, was stand
ing in front of st Johns church when
Julld,dCCotnpdilIeu ny hSH otO1hCA-Ah-Ah "
came up. Without a word of warning
the girl drew a raw hide and slashed
Miller across the face. When Miller tried
to defend himself the girls brother-in
law jumped in and held him. Miller
then went to the city attorney for {
warrant for the arrest of the girl and
her companion but Mr. Daley told him
he had got what he deserved. John Gal
| lagher, another youth who had circu
lated stories about Miss Curtin. was also
vigorously raw hided last Saturday.

DISPUTED PRIZES
The Differences as to the sNnGerfest
Awards.

The differences as TO Ine StSuRSrlesI
Awards.
Besides the dissatisfaction in regard to
the award of prizes in the second class
at the recent singing contest in Hart
ford, there Is some dissatisfaction as to
the awards in the first class, in which
the Mennerch0r of Hartford and the
Concordia of Waterbury took part. The
Mannerchor protests against the Con-
cordia, on the ground that the latter
society presented some singers who were
not Germans, namely, j. +. Dunn, ID. j.
Dunn, w. Z. Booth j. Mason, j. Butler,
w. j. and N. Hughes, and j. A. Nolan.
Even if they are not professionals, it is
held that their not being Germans Is
sufficient reason for throwing out that
society. The state convention in the fall
will investigate the matter.
In regard to the trouble in the second
class, j. A. Schultz, of the Bridgeport
Concordia, writes to the Farmer of that
city, saying that Emil Peters caused it
all, His story is that Peters was the
director of the Bridgeport Germania and
to acknowledgements of New Haven,
competing societies, and thirteen months
ago he was discharged from the Con-
cordia for cause. Mr. Schwickardi was
appointed director of the Concordia in
his place. Mr. Schwickardi's brother, OF
New York, and Mr. Helnicke, of New
Haven, were proposed and voted in as
regular members, and were in the chorus
that scored 6S out of a possible 20 in the
recent contest. They did not receive pay
for their services,

why lie Lost a Tooth.

The other day Philadelphia gentle
man came to q well-known dentist, suf-
fering from front tooth. Although it
showed no decay it had to be pulled.
Around the root was found firmly coiled

membered the explanation of his sleep

NEW LONDON, July 31.-The 1875 odd
yachts of the New York Yacht club
which is on its annual cruise, left here
this morning bound for Newport. The
yachts rendezvoused here last night and
nearly filed the harbor to its utmost
capacity. 1t is certain that such a sight
was never before witnessed in this OIL
any other American harbor before, and
it is not likely that such a spectacle was
ever before seen anywhere. Nearly all
the great, magnificent and costly steam
yachts of the country were here last
night and all the big and stately
schooners and sloops were with them.

WANDERING ON THE STREETS.

a Frenchman Who Wanted to Reach
This City Lost in New Haven.
Saws the New Haven Palladium: a
Frenchman who was on his way to Wa
terbury, where he had secured work,
became confused on arriving in this city
from New York last evening and in his
search for the Derby depot wandered
out to Trumbull street, where he tried to
secure admission to the house nearest
State street on the north side, thinking
it was the depot he sought.
A German servant girl went to the
door in response to his repeated rap
pings, but as she could not speak a word
of English and neither could use the
language the other was conversant
with, they did not get along very fast,
and the girl mistook him for a burglar.
She called for assistance and some one
who heard her summoned Officer BisSel.
The officer. went to theihouse and-found
the offender sitting on the curb stone in
a dazed condition. Bissell could only
learn from the man that he wanted to
go to Commerce street. Accordingly he
directed him and the fellow started off.
About an hour later the Frenchman
passed Bissell again on the street, and
i this time the officer took him into GUS
tody. Bissell at last ran across a man
that could talk French and from him he
learned that the Frenchman wanted to
go to the Derby depot to take train to
| Waterbury. Bissell took the man to
police headquarters, however, and after
an explanation had been made the
Frenchman was taken to a cheap lodg-
ing house and given directions as to
how he should go to take the train IN
| the morning.

Dying at Wethersfield.

The Bridgeport Farmer says that
William Gilbert, the bartender who
fatally shot Waiter William Buzzell in
Bullen's cafe, Bridgeport, a year ago
last spring, is in dying condition.
Gilbert was sentenced to three years.
Worriment over his trouble caused him
to go into decline soon after he arrived
at Wethersfield. This debilitated con.
dition finally developed into consump.
ton, and he has done nothing in the
prison workshop for several months. He
is now in the hospital department of the
prison, and according to the keepers
statement, can survive only few weeks

Leo's Church In Whist ed.

Among the indulgences which form
the treasure of the Catholic church, one
of the most precious is the celebrated in
diligence of Porziuncola, THAI can be
gained on the second day of August, in
all churches of the Franciscan order.
1t was in the month of October, in the
year of our Lord 1921, according to the
most authentic authority, when to Fran
els, praying for mercy for sinners, in his
poor cell, an angel appeared and desired
him to repair quickly to the church,
where he would hehold our Lord, and
his blessed mother, with a multitude of
angles and saints. Joyfully the saint
obeyed the summons, and, Frustrated
before the alter, heard the voice of our
Lord, who addressed him thus: 'Fran-
els, you and your companions have great
zeal for the salvation of souls, you have
been placed as a light to the world, and
as support to the church: ask then
whatever you will for the benefit of
mankind for my glory" The saint re-
piled: 81 beseech you to grant that all
who visit this church may receive a
plenary indulgence for all the punish
ment due to them, both in this world
and the next, for their sins, after having
confessed to a priest"
Francis" replied our Lord, ''you ask
great things, but you shall receive still
greater. / grant what you demand, but
go to my vicar. to whom / have given
the power to bind and loose on earth:
ask him to ratify what I now declare"
Not many years passed away, and the
fame of the great Pardon of Assist was
spread all over the world, and beautiful
was it to see pilgrims in swarms of fif-
teen and twenty thousand ascend the
slopes of Assist; among them being
kings, princes, noble and illustrious che
walters, with their vassals and subjects.
But in the progress of time the throng
became so excessive, that in some years
even the soldiers could not restrain
them, and on one occasion thirteen vic
Tins were made by the trampling of the
people. Seeing all these inconveniences,
Gregory XIV extended to all the church
es attended by the Franciscans, the priv
ileges of the Porziuncola.
Next Saturday appropriate ceremonies
will held in Father 1eo's church in Win
sted and Catholics who approach the
sacraments and visit the church can
gain the indulgence.

swELrERING WEATHER.
Last Night the aIost Uncomfortable
of the Season.

Last Night the 1Iost Uncomfortable
of the Season.
Last night was without a doubt the
most uncomfortable experienced this
summer. The highest point to which
the thermometer climbed yesterday was
ninety-five, and people sweltered and
perspired until far into the night. In
door life was hardly endurable and the
streets were crowded until q late hour.
A slight breeze is felt to-day, but the
suns heat is terrible. At IL o'clock
Leavenworth s. Dikeman's thermometer
registered 95 degrees. This afternoon
the thermometer at the Clay street school
registered % degrees; yesterday at the
same hour 81 was the figure. AT Nugents
drug store at 2 o'clock the mercury
jumped to 90 degrees, while in the post
office at the same hour the figure was
90.
In a conversation yesterday, Hart
ford's milk inspector said: My advice
is to keep vegetables and green stuff out
of the refrigerator. If it is necessary to
keep evrything in together then place
| the milk in corked bottle. Care should
always be taken not to put the milk
| with the ice while warm, either in .
bottle or other vessel. Milk should not
be placed in a tin pail, as the seams are
liable to contain microbes, which cannot
| be cleaned out even with the greatest
care. Glass and earthen receptacles
| should always be used"
Reports from throughout the state
show that at all points to-day the weather
is fearfully hot. The figures are as fol-
lows Merlden, 90 !; New Britain, "a ;
Hartford, % Danbury, 96; New Haven,
90; Norwich, 92 i; Torrington, 30.
