OPINIONS ABOUT WOMEN.

Thackerav-A good woman is the love-
Hest flower that blooms under heaven.
Punch-The proper study of mankind
is woman.

woman.

porcelain of human clay.
Chesterfield-Ner ugly or very beau
tiful women should be flattered on their
understanding, and mediocre ones on
their beauty.
Beaconsfeld-The girl of the period
she sets up to be natural and is only rude,
mistakes insolence for innocence, says
everything that comes to her lips, and
thinks she is gay when she is only giddy.
Proverbs xii, "A virtuous woman is
a crown to her husband
Milton
It is for that such outward ornament
Was lavish'd on their sex, that inward gifts
Were left for haste unfinished

wife than kingdom.

cacy and increases mans

The Lucky Twentieth.

In these days of general advertising, it is the hustler who dares to be enough ahead of the crowd to compel attention who reaps the benefit. One general at tLacts more attention than whole regi- ment of infantry and the advertiser with pluck and nerve enough to invest his money for sure return fixes his name and business beyond dispute in the pub lie eye. Let the superior excellence of his goods match his unmistakable an- nouncements and Success is the guardian angel over the safe which smiles on the crowds that throng his place of business.
 Such an one is H. N. Ayres of Bishop block, Bridgeport, household name where'er the BEE is read. No necessity to ask if you saw his ad., for no one who reads this eight-page BEE could fail to notice it. Nor are it's statements any less definite. Any school boy can see at glance that Mir Ayres is giving away every 20th pair of boots or shoes that he sells. It is a novelty for this field, MT Ayres's new scheme, but it is one that cannot fail to attract attention and will
 
 certainly rejoice the heart of every 20th customer. Who these lucky persons are to be none but MT Ayres and his clerks know and they do rot know until their record shows 19 sales made and the for tunate 20th customer calls to be served. This customer is surprised at receiving his goods and money, too. One lucky fellow thought his money was bad or that something was wrong, but he was happy enough when he understood the situation. You are as likely to be the 10th customer as any one else and one thing can be relied on, that, whether the 2oth or not, your footwear will be given at a reasonable price and will be found to be an honest article, worth the money that it cost.

James Poole, Waterbury young man rested, Monday, by Constable James Kelly, charged with the theft of a watch and chain valued at $35 from William McBath. Poole, who has been in town less than month, obtained employment at the Rubber and boarded at Mrs Cal lahan's, leaving in few days, to board at Mrs Carrolrs. Two weeks ago, after working fortnight, he drew his pay and started toward the New England depot, entirely forgetting to settle his bill at either boarding place. He was overhauled, however and made to pay up. After Poole had gone, McBath, who has since left Sandy Hook for New Milford, discovered that his watch and chain were missing. Suspicion was at once directed to Poole, but he could not be found until, nearly d week ago, he nonchalently returned to the Hook. He was promptly arrested by Constable Kelly and lodged in Newtown jail until the hearing, which took place, Wednes, day morning. before Justice Dayton ol Sandy Hook. McBath could not iden tify a watch in Poole's possession as the one formerly owned by him, but at once recognized the chain. Evidence was ill ftrOduced and Poole was bound over fol trial at the Superior court. Constable l Kelly took him to Bridgeport jail, Wed nesday noon. Although protesting hi I entire innocence, Poole made attempt tt escape, Wednesday morning, but wal quickly secured.

Mrs Croffut went to Bridgeport, Mon day, to spend few days with her sister, who is in very poor health.


 Most of Newtown's farmers will have completed the greater part of their up- land having by the end of this week. The crop is very large, the quantity of hay obtained from given acreage being greater than for many years. The quail ity is excellent, there having been just enough rain and sun early in the season to cause the grass to grow rapidly and mature well. During the harvest, there have been no protracted rains and the crop hae been gathered in admirable con- ditfon. So heavy is the yield that there is hardly market for either old or new hay or standing grass and prices bid fail to rule low. Advantage of this is being taken by many who are to Winter large herds of young battle hoping to sell il the Spring at profitable advance.

No conductor of the Housatonic sys- tenn is more alert or successful in saving life than gentlemanly c. NJ. Phillips of the Derby division. This is largely due to his presence of mind and promptness in action. To see the need of the mo- nient is to grasp and act upon it with Mr Phillips. He has given numerous happy illustrations of this, his latest rescue of life being to drag Brakeman John Hart from under the wheels of freight train at Orange. Conductor Phillips spied the mans danger as his own train flew past and hurried to the rescue; less thor oughly wide awake man would not have scented the danger or less noble would not have proved himself Good Samari- tan.

If this paragraph from the New Haven Union relates to Newtown (and there seems no room for doubting that it does) there will be no necessity for a recount of Newtown's inhabitants, for an addi- tion of 500 to the figures already publish ed will put the population just where it ought to be, $500:
 Supervisor Mccarthy said that approxi- mates as given to the public were taken from the daily report of the enumerators and since the approximation had been made mistakes had been found. Errors were detected in a subsequent counting of the names by the clerks, who were compelled to go over each street and count each name to determine the pay of the enumerators, which was based on the names recorded. In one case alone an er- TOT Of 800 names was found. That is, there were 800 more people than the daily reports of the enum orators showed. When the mis- take was discovered, the enumerator was | called in to explain. This he did by showing that he had continued the work alter the time limir.
 Supervisor Mccarthy says this is the reason why the approx innate figures were not cor ret. Hedeclined at this time to give the name of the town in which the excess of SOC names had been discovered. This same state of affairs was to be found in almost every place and, when the final figures were out, ii l is probable they will be in excess of the ap proximate results. With this view of the case MT McCarthy's district may be swelled in the l final returns mary thousands.
 1 lnasmuch as the births and deaths for 10 years exactly balanced each other and the loss by removal was somewhat re- dueed by the number who moved into town, it was manifestly absurd to claim that Newtown had lost 100 inhabitants a year for each year of the decade. The voting list of the town is 935, which gives 3740 IS the population of the town. Bul it seems peculiar, to say the least, that a block of names representing one fifth oi the inhabitants of town should not be credited until so long after the publiea. tion of the sapproximate" figures.

During the year or more that Rev ohn D.

His successor at St Rose will be Father Loftus, young man of Danbury who was but recently ordained and who has ofilciated in Danbury.

Little Maudie Lathrop, two-year-old daughter of Samuel Lathrop, who has rented the Windsor, was wounded on the cheek by the dog of Sidney Cornell of Dicks hotel. The little one, whose in- fantile beauty has many admirers, is ac- customed to the constant companionship of fine, black mastiff (rurk) and so at tempted too much familiarity with the valuable bird dog of Mir Cornell. The baby sat down on his dogships sore paw. Dr Wilcoxson was called and said that the wound, which was a bad one, was a scratch instead of bite, as was at first supposed.

A cent and half per quart was paid by the creamery for June milk. The prospects for decided raise in price are not encouraging, for there is still much milk in market, although the dry wealth CT is cutting down the pasturage and lowering shipments of milk at surpris- ing rate. A month ago, Newtown cream sends scarcely over 60. Other creamer- ies and shipping stations along the line have also shown diminished receipts.
