Daisy? he asked in his pleading voice; just as
he used to talk to me years ago when was q
child and inclined to be naughty. For Gods
sake, my dear girl, try to forget all you heard
tonight. Think Of your father only as you
have thought Of him hitherto, as one who was
taken from you in the flower of his years and
who sleeps quietly in his grave, honored, loved
and lamented. The manner of his death makes
little difference. 1t was swift and sudden,
merciful death-without deathbed horrors or
prolonged pain. 1t must have been an almost
instantaneous death"
"You know all about it, and I want to know,
too" answered. "f you won't tell me shall
find out the truth for myself. know the date
OF my fathers death, and I have only to get
the newspapers for the following days and
shall learn all that can be learnt about his muir
derer and the circumstances Of his DEATH"
You are obstinate and foolish. Daisy" he
said. 1T would be far wiser to blot the horror
OF the past out OF your mind forever. Your
fathers sleep is just as sweet as il he had per-
ished by the slow and painful decay which
darkens the end of life when men live to what
is called agood old age. A good old age-as il

your want Of philosophy. l thought I had

1T is more dreadful-infnitely more dread
ful-for it robbed me of my beloved father.
He would be with US now-he might be with us
for long years to come-but for the wretch who

WHICH IS WHICH,

May be Contested.


May be Contested.
Ex-Road Commissioner Fitzpatrick is
possessed of an idea that G. H. Good
win, who has been formally declared his
successor as a member of the board, has
not been legally elected. In the council
chamber the ballot by which Mr. Good
win was declared elected resulted as fol-
lows: Goodwin 8, Finley Z, Byrnes 1,
blank 1. President Kellogg declared Mr.
Goodwin elected, taking the ground
that the blank ballot should not be
counted and allowing Mr. Goodwin a
majority of one.
Since Mr. Goodwin took the oath of office
the records have been looked up and it has
been discovered that a year ago when
Goodwin ran for the Office against John
Fitzpatrick, the former. on two ballots
received ten votes, and of the twenty
cast one was blank in each case. Pres
ident Blair of the council ruled that the
blank should be counted and FitZpat-
rick was afterwards elected, receiving a
majority of all the votes cast.
In view of these conflicting rulings
the situation is just this: Either Com
missioner Fitzpatrick for year held an
Office to which c. II. Goodwin was elect.
ed, or Commissioner Goodwin is to-day
holding an Office to which he has not
been elected.
The position is not 2 salaried one and
it is hardly probable that Commissioner
Goodwin shall be invited to prove his
claims in law. However, it is expected
that ex-Commissioner Fitzpatrick will

From Naugatuck.
The officers of the local courts of For

order against n man now in this city
who is not acting according to the prin-
ciples laid down in the constitution. He
is provided with a travelling card from
Court Unity of Nau ,atuck and has i'm
posed upon many members of the order
in this city by representing that he is in
search of work. To others who offered
to secure him employment he said he did
not care to work. One story he has
widely circulated is that James Thurman
gave him IS with which to pay his
board. MIR Thurman states that he has
done nothing of the kind. The fellow
also claimed to have assistance from
Court Hancock to the extent of S19 and
has told dozen different stories to as
many Foresters. Members of the order
