Mixed Relationship,

An old English magazine tells of an inter
marriage which brought about a singular
complication:
A Mr.. HARDWOOD had two daughters by
his first wife, the eldest of whom married
one John COshick: this CoshitE had o
daughter by his first wife, whom old Har-
wood married, and ny her he had son;
therefore. John Coshck's second wife could
say as follows:
My father is my son. and I'm my mothers mother;
My sister is my daughter, and I'm grandmother
TO my brother.

Vice President Stevenson Of the Housatonic
railroad system is receiving great deal of
well-merited praise tor his complete re-
arrangement of the time table of the Housa-

the comfort and convenience of patrons
Said New Haven gentleman: Colonel
Stevenson must have greatly increased the
passenger travel on the road by SO doing and
he has certainly put patrons of the line under
real obligations, which they duly appreciate.
The changes made are also beneftting the
towns and different stations along the line

Guardea by Elec.r,c,tx.


Judge Andrew Sellick, one of the weaIthi-
est citizens of Norwalk and for more than
forty years prominent man there, has dis
covered new way by which to prevent van
dalism and protect the statuary on his
grounds.
Mr.. Sellick was for many years justice of
the peace there, and his imposition Of penal
ties while holding the office insured for him
the enmity of that class of persons arraigned
before him. Many of them have sworn to
be revenged, and some of them have recently
endeavored to secure satisfaction by a resort
to malicious mischief.
Judge Sellick erected some time agoa
magnificent residence in the most popular
residential section of the borough. In adorn-
ing the surrounding ground Judge Sellick g
artistic taste was exercised. A prominent
figure in the lawn fronting the mansion is a
life size statue of Venus in italian marble.
1t ia placed in prominent part of the grounds,
in full view of the street and directly in
front of the windows of the residence. The
statue is an expensive one and has been great
ly admired.
On recent morning Judge Sellick was
greatly surprised as he looked out upon the
lawn from his window to see that the statue
had been painted jet black during the
night. OF course his indignation was
aroused, and rewards were offered and de-
tectives set at work to discover the mis-
creant, but without result. Finally the
black paint was scraped off and the statue
restored to its original purity of color. With.
in a few nights the statue was
painted bright red, and again there
was a fruitless attempt to discover
the vandsls. The red paint was re-
moved in turn, and few nights
later the statue was repainted, this time In
blue, mixed at intervals with various other
colors. In the varied hues the marble Venus
was even more hideous than when the solid
red or black had been daubed upon the mar.
BILE.
In order to prevent further Dissertation
Judge Sellick has had the statue wound with
electricity, and yesterday he was heard to
exclsim in great glee, "Woe to the midnight
prowler who dares to approach or touch her
majesty"

The meeting was called to order by the
president, w. F. Healy of Bridgeport. Ex-
Mayor Patrick Coughlin of Bridgeport, who
was one of the delegates to the national con-
and stated that all that was needed was or
ganization to make the craft q success, not
only in Connecticut but In other states.
A most interesting address was given by
President Beatty of the New York State
association, in which he said organization
was their only hope of success. The day
IL gone by, he said, when the Master Painters
association IL to be used as club over the
heads of the journeymen. No painter who
does honest work can afford to underbid a
competitor 80 or 40 per cent. He may under.
bid him 10 per cent, but when he underbids
him 80 or 40 per cent. look out that he puts
on three coats of paint, as agreed on, and
does not stop short at two"
The association voted to admit local organ
izations on the payment of So for charter
and an annual per capita tax of 30 cents. The
secretary was instructed to encourage the
organizations of local associations by sending
| out magaziner and literature devoted to the
| interests of the association. The following
resolution offered by James Phelsn of Bridge.

Resolved, That we, the master house
painters of Connecticut, believe that 1t Ia fol
the best interests of the trade that journey
men form associations for the elevation Of

Railroad bonds were very dull, the sales reaching

comes furnished 100000. The tone of the deal

tonal amounts, and in Atchison, in which the only
important news of the day was developed, the tiuc

to learn this. Nothing satisfactory can be
accomplished with douches, snuffs, powders
