A son was recently born to MT and Mrs John Church of Gas street.

Newtown has reason to be proud of its new Housatonic depot. which, after weeks of waiting, was opened to the pub lie, Tuesday. The presence of two huge stoves, instead of steam or hot air, is a matter of regret. The new station is the same size and style and stands on the same foundations as that burned last July. It is 24x70 feet, with ceiling Is feet high and the caves of the steep slate roofs slope down to form protection from the weather to those on the plat forms. On the exterior, the building is painted in the standard colors of the Housatonic system. sage green with darker trimmings, while the word New town, in tasty letters, appears on either end. On the interior, there is a more mo- ticeable difference, the former building having been finished in daI k woods, while this is ceiled with light southern pine and trimmed with cherry, well finished; an combination. The seats are of hard wood to match, iron rails dividing each section. The ticket, telegraph and central telephone offices are on the east and the toilet rooms on the west, as for merly. Running water is introduced as
 before and the building has been we'll
 plumbed by John Kearns of Bridgeport.
 Abundant light is given by two large
 four-burner chandeliers, while two more
 lamps, all of the latest pattern, make
 light the labors of Agent Taylor. A
 glittering new switch board has been
 placed in the office and table provided
 for the telegraph operator, besides the
 desk for Agent Taylor and his copying
 press and array of documents. There is
 talk of putting in small fire proof safe.

who ordered it. This monstrosity is one of
many of thiss pattern which have been
turned out by the freak-man. They are all
made the same size. d feet long. and cost
only $50 each, so that an alligator-boy may
be said TO be within the reach of any dime
museum. A repulsive-looking black body
with the head turned sideways is attached
to what seems to bs the back half of an
alligator. Real wool covers the head and
real teeth are introduced in the mouth open
ing. The boy is represented as grinning in
the conventional negro style.
To complete the outfit the maker furnishes
the lecture to go with the freak. This In
sures the same story being told in all parts
of the country. The lecturers very pretty
story, and we reproduce the opening OF 1t:
'In 1888 party of alligator hunters came
from England to Florida to secure some al
ligators. After successful hunting. return
ing to Jacksonville, they saw this monstros-
ity lying in a swamp about six miles from
the city. at first they thought 1t was ne
gro, but, by going nearer to it they soon re-
allied that it was half boy and half alliga-
tor" etc.
One of the best of the freak-maker's
works is double-b bodied baby made to rep
resent nature. 1t is not generally made as
if mummitied. but instead is invested with
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1890-11-16

1t is not hard to convince people that
mummified Indians have been dug up in Da-
kota. The variety that is made in this city
are dug up by cowboys when the lecturer
gets them in hand. The Indian freak comes
in two siZeS-''grown up and children" TO
quote again-and the child being the cheap
est, it is generally supposed that mummifi-
cation is more common among the young
dead Indians than their elders.
At present the market is calling for some
thing new. "Mermaids." demon children"
and the elephant fish" about close the list
of artificial freaks of the pasteboard variety.
The maker guarantees to furnish any known
or unknown animal if its description, sketch
or photograph be furnished, but just at pres
emf there are no new ideas forthcoming, and
the duplication Of the stock ideas goes mer-
rily on.
The freak man is awaiting the time when
some Cardiff giant hoax Will enable him
to get brand-new subject for dissemination
among the hundreds of dime museums be-
tween New York and the Pacific Slope, and
he fondly hopes to be able to employ a corps
of assistants to help him fill his orders. AS
it is. while be is never able to carry a stock
of made-up goods, his orders do not warrant
the giving away to other men of his trade
secrets Some of them appear here, it is
true, but not all. for there are niceties in
the work that no amount of description
could give. and the trick of making a little
work produce a great effect is one OF his
most Wanted accomplishments. 1t is this
trick that leads him to advertise himself as
the greatest imitator of natural subjects in
the world" and he deserves the title, 80 the
museum men say.-N. Y. Herald.

the delicate tints of life. The first one of
these attracted great deal of attention,
and IL was represented as the embalmed
body of real infant. There has been a
great demand for this freak. and there are
now a number of them in existence
As the latter ones are represented as being
copies of supposed real baby who died, the
maker explains his creation in the following
somewhat involved language; AFTER know
ing the birth of double children, like repre-
Sented here and taken from q photograph,

times in this c0untry-and was exhibited
alive. The first ones 1871, the second ones

horn again, these children, alive and kick
ing, are shown at all the museums at enor-
nous salaries. Born in Upton. Ind, June

its queer phrasiLg, and it always goes" if
we may believe the lecturers who have
handled the double baby. Every body who
wishes may have one for $40, in fac-simile

monstrnsity. He is made somewhat after
the manner described above, though his

served in spirits for exhibition to the iutelli-
gent audience etc.-he was very form;d-
able creature.
Sea serpents are $50 each and fifteen feet
long in New York. The Maine fishermen
cannot furnish them at this low price.

A recent visit to freak-maker's little
shop has enabled the writer to explain the
manufacture of this kind of exhibition
goods. In a small third-stOry front room a
pOrtly man was found at work ON a two
headed mummy, which is TO be exhibited as
having been foun d in the Pyramids of
Egypt The furniture of the room suggested
extreme poverty, although the stO1t man is
able to make $40 week at his queer trade.
He lives all alone, and it is fair to presume
that he is saving his money against the
time when he can open museum of the
new style for his own profit.
The real appearance of one of this mans
freaks, even when it is in an unfinished
state, explains why so many people are will
ing TO accept them at the YOluDle museum
lecturers valuation; and when you see the
work directly under the mechanics hand,
the excellent modelling of the face gives the
object an uncanny look. These things are
not modelled from life, nor does the maker
ever employ an artist 10 assist IN perfectiDg
the anatomical intricacies of his subject. He
is not an artist himself in feeling or train
ing, but simply workman. who, from con-
slant practice. has been enabled to make
figure OF nearly correct proportions with the
crudest kind of tools.
Pasteboard and paper are his chief stock
in trade. With an outer wall of soft card
board and numerous layers of paper back OF
it the head form when well soaked in water
can be pressed into perfect semblance of
the human face.
Little bits of card or paper may have to
be added to accentuate the features, but
when the work is ready for the pasty varnish
which Is to cover the first shaping and eff
fectuaily adhese all its parts, these added
pieces look as though they we're a part of
the rougher first model.

tions of arms and legs, the fingers and toes

was Luitgarde Won Zaeringen, famous for
her beauty and her wealth, from whom she
inherited the Manor of SchaueHberg. Rich,
beautiful and talented the life Of the fair
Duchess was vet a sad one, and the events
which crowded fast upon one another after
her entrance into the married state finally
led up to the foundation of the monastery
which subsequently, was raised to the rank
of an abbey, and for several centuries was
renowned as seat of learning.
The tradition says that after the death of
her first husband, the Duchess married
Count Welt Won Altdorf. to whom she bore
a child which died in its infancy. The
Count took this loss greatly to heart, and
sought consolation in riotous living and
excesses which caused his consOrt to seek
retirement in an Italian convent After
several years of separation reconciliation
was effected, but the Count died q short
while afterward, and the unhappy lady de-
voted the remainder of her life to works Of
piety and charity. 1t was then that she de-
termined upon founding a monastery, Day,
unable to determine upon q site for it.
she ordered the necessary funds to be
placed on a donkey's back, and declared
that she would build wherever the animal
should stop. Accordingly. the treasure was
disposed Of rs the Duchess directed, the
donkey was led beyond the walls Of the
castle and allowed to roam at will, followed
at distance by the servants. 1t logged

of the work. but when the coat of varnish
covers them later and the edges of the card
board are pressed down fiat it requires
very close inspection to determine where the
figures are pieced.
The anatomy of these limbs, when you
take into consideration the patchwork
gu alty of the operation, is rather wonder
full. When the curious looking lot of .obJects
are put together and the whole thing var
mis- he'd brown the respectable looking
mum my seems TO be ready for its purchaser,
but it really is not, for in the estimation of
the honest workman nature has not been
fully reproduced.
He considers that the head and hands of
human beings, on account of their constant
exposure to the atmosphere, have harder
cuticle than the covered portions OF the
body. Although it seems unnecessary that
he should carry out this idea in his me-
chanical freaks, his next operation accom-
plisheS Just that purpose. A covering for
all the body but the head and hands is made
of soft, thin channels leather. This is put on
with thirk paste, in pieces which will accom-
modate themselves 10 the various curves of
the work. When the chamois skin is well
dried on and the whole structure is care
fully vanished the body parts are not only
soft looking. but give somewhat at the touch
as well.
Hanging on the side wall of the workshop
is a carefully executed painting of Jerusalem,
which at one time was part Of panorama.
The freak-maker said that this painting,
which is about three feet high and seven
feet long. cost $500 in the old country. To
explain the cost of this work in his own
words: Panoramas in the old country are

Abbey of Allerhei!igen, or "All Saints"
which are here pictured. Standing on the

The ruined abbey is situated on the banks

the picturesque little hamlet of Ottenhoefen.

its journey until il reached beautiful

II was placed in charge of the Augustin-
ian friars, who received such liberal dona-
iions from the faithful Of the neighborhopd
that its revenues increased very rapidly,
and lew years later il bacame one of the
wealthieSt religious establishments in the
country. The good monks invested largely
of their wealth in collecting a valuable
library, and devoting themselves to the arts
and sciences, som after opened school,
which increased the fame of the commu-
nifty.
Up to 1867 the monastery continued to be
governed by prior. In that year, so great
had become its renown that the church
recognized its claim to distinction by con-
secratins its head an abbot. The abbey
was suppressed by the civil power in 1902
and its property secuiarized. A year later,
while the authorities were considering what
purpose it should thereafter be devoted to,
