SAVED BY The GOVERNOR.
A Foolish Girl Prevented From
Marrying q Criminal.

In one of the Indiana prisons il
a convict who is serving a life sen
tence for the commission of one OF
the most horrible of crimes. It has
been said that no man is so bao
that he has not friends. The friends
OF this man from the beginning Of
his sentence have never ceased to
work for his pardon. Influential
citizens and public officials have
been induced to write personal let
ters to all the Governors who have
held Office since the term of con-
finement began. Petition after pc
tition has been prepared and hun
dreds of signatures secured.
It is related that at one time a
Governor was almost persuaded to
pardon the man. The sentiment IN
his favor seemed fairly overwhelm-
ing. AS a last precaution he sent
for his private secretary to talk
over the whole case with the pris-
pner himself. The prisoner told his
story forcibly, but so glibly as to
indicate that he had carefully pre-
pared it and committed it to mem
DRY. AS his recital closed he drew
photograph of beautiful young
woman from his pocket.
"The first thing l shall do when
7 am released will he To marry this
GIRL" he said.
"Who is she?" asked the visitor.
"She is Miss M" he replied,
"and is the daughter of one Of the
richest and proudest families of the
city of -. She will marry me the
minute l am set Free"
GLOW do you happen to know
herr"
"Oh, that's all right. She visited
the prison one time and / got &C
quainted with her. She fell in love
with me at first sight. Don't worry
about me; I'm solid with her."
The secretary looked at the pho
tograph again. The face shown
there was delicate and refined, and
every line indicated the confding
truthfulness of innocent girlhood.
He looked at the prisoner. In his
eye was a wicked leer Of triumph.
Evil and sin were stamped upon
every feature.
When the secretary made report
to the Governor he told the story
of the photograph. The Chief Ex-
ecutive pondered over it for awhile,
thsn, bringing his fist down upon
the desk with force that set all it's
light furniture to rafting, he said
The photograph settles it, That
sweet girl and the happiness of her
nome and friends must not be
ruined by any act Of mine. The
prisoner must serve his time. -

A TARIFF LESSON .

Ten years ago an ounce of quinlne cost S3, or more. at the custom house. The reply of the duty on this article, to- gether with the improved methods of cultivating the bark from which it is produced, have reduced the price to about one-tenth that of ten years ago. Meanwhile, importations have increased at greatly diminished cost. American manufacturers of the medicine have not gone out of business, and they have been able to hold their own against foreign competition. At the same time the public has been vastly benefited, ill that it gets the use of this useful drug at a price somewhere near the cost of culti- vating it. The case of quinine is time ly and useful object lesson for tariff re- formers to make use of.

STOP PAYING RENT.

District Manager l.. P. Knickerbocker would like to call the attention of all those interested in getting themselves a home who are paying rent, that the Mercantile Cooperative Bank of 37 and 39 Wall street, New York, have estab- lished Branch Office in Waterbury in Platt's block, East Maln street, Room 19, with Martin Hellmann as president; John B. Vallee, first vice president George l.. Pelham, second vice president Mathew Kennedy, treasurer: James E. Russell, attorney; William J. Cassidy, secretary and local agent, and John H. Fruin, Thomas F. Dougherty and Mathew Kennedy, appraisal committee. This is the best system of enforced savings, while all members have an equal voice in the management. There is no SAFE INVESTMENT more profitable. It is better than Q savings bank, quadrupling the interest, and enables a member to borrow and pay his loan in monthly install ments. Money is loaned at a fixed rate of interest and on fixed premiums in any amounts, to be paid back monthly in PLACE OF RENT. Shareholders have absolute security for their money and they are assured large profits on their investment. Members may apply for a loan at any time. A new series will commence January 1st. For full in- formation call on William J. Cassidy, local agent for Waterbury, at Platt's block, East Main street, Room 19, any evening from to 9 o'clock.

MISS KATE DRENEL.

A pretty picture of an heiress's New Years night is painted by Pittsburg correspondent of the New York World. An ambulance dashes up to the massive gates of hospital, victim of a natural gas explosion is carefully but promptly conveyed to cot, the surgeons do their work, and the man, more dead than alive, is left alone. Yet not wholly alone. A prayerful figure sits by his side. It is Miss Kate DreXel, whose check for $2,O0O,0O0 would be honored She is a Sister of Mercy and while her former Philadelphia compan- ions were dancing away the hours of the old year, the midnight chimes fell on the ears of the beautiful girl, engag- ed in a mission of charity. She was probably happier than they. Self denial is always admirable, but when a woman with Miss Drexels prospects for ease and self turns her back on them and devotes her life to others, even greater credit is duo her.

THE year 1889 will be remembered ap- parently for some time in the future as having settled the question of constitu tional prohibition, at least in the east ern states of the union. New Hamp- etts came next, with q pretty heavy column; Pennsylvania overwhelmed the attempt in her case with the force of her own flood; Rhode Island administered a clincher, and finally Connecticut buried the amendment under majority of 25, ,0O0 strong.

There is not the slightest clue to the perpetrators of this dastardly deed. A strange fact connected with the af- fair is that the house was robbed only a short time ago under similar circum- stances. Dr. Kniffen was absent from the city at the time, but the burglars were never caught. The police are working on this case with the greatest assiduity and they hope to be able to apprehend the murderers. No articles of value are as yet missing, but so con fused is everything that it is impos- sible to tell what has been taken.
