A MYSTERY EXPLAINED.


~ Women Were LEFT Handed They Could
Aiight Better from street Cars.
She half rose from her seat. glanced
toward the rear of the open car and
raising her parasol signaled TO the
conductor on the rear platform that
she desired to have the car stopped
at the next corner AS it slowed she
stood up and stepped to the side,
shifting her parasol from the right
hand to the left and grasping the
arm of the seat with the disengaged
right.
wait till the car stops, please" !"
the conductor shouted.
She glanced up with a slight ex-
preston of fright, and the conductor
ran along the footboard at the side
to assist her, but she did not wait for
him. She stepped down while the
car was in motion, and when the car
stopped with slight jerk she had
her left foot on the pavement. She
had kept hold of the arm and was
about to release it and put down the
other foot, while facing to the rear,
when the jerk threw her off her bal
ance. The conductor grasped her
arm and prevented her from falling.
She smiled her thanks and stepped
away. The conductor blew his
whistle and started to return to the
platform.
There's another, he remarked to
a serene and observant individual at
the end of the next seat. "a woman
never gets off car while facing the
right way; at least I've never seen
one. If she'll wait till the car stops
it's all right; if not it's all wrong"
"'Tisn't her fault" the individual
remarked.
"Huhr
mo. It's the fault of the car, or
the company, mean"
"Huhl"
"Of course. I'm not saying word
about grasping corporations or any
thing of the like, but l say it's the
fault of the company"
It'd like to know how" the con-
ductor said suggestively. I'VE do
everything we can to help EN-"
''That may be SO, but the company
ought to change the direction of its
lines or start a movement for the de-
velopment of ambidexterity," the
philosopher remarked.
"What9"
"Ambidexterity-ability to use
both hands," the philosopher ex-
planned. ''The trouble is that most
people can use the right hand only
in grasping anything, with confidence
in the effort-women particularly
In this country the cars pass to the
right, and as it is safer to alight from
the side nearest the sidewalk it is
very natural for a woman to grasp
the arm Of the seat, or the side of the
rear platform of closed car, before
stepping down. Now if the cars ran
the other way, to the left, women
would get off from the other side and
would use their right hands. IF q
woman gets off now at the side near
the track she uses her right hand |
and is not pitched backward You
watch the next time. If women
were left handed the present system
would be all right, but they are not"
II never thought of that" the con-
ductor said. ''It has always been a
mystery to me-"
DO you think they'll change" the
philosopher asked
"Who2"
'The company"
mo, nor the women either."-

RAvAGEs OF SMALLPOX.
Two New Cases and One Death in Ne,
 

Two New Cases and One Death in New
 Haven.
 The New Haven hospital is still de- veloping smallpox cases. One victim who was removed from the hospital to the pest house last Saturday died there yesterday. Her name was Malvina Gibson, 5 years old. The child had been in the hospital since last August with disease of the breastbone and tuberculosis. She died at o'clock last night.
 Michael Callahan of Naugatuck, who was taken to the pest house last Sunday, is in a critical condition. His life is in grave doubt.
 John Slein of Ansonia and Frank E Hubbard of 16 Warren street, New Ha- ven, were found last night to be afflicted with the scourge and were taken to the pest house. Their cases are severe. Dr Flagg was taken there this morning.
 Two suspicious cases of sickness have been developed in Birmingham. They may or may not be smallpox. Dr F. N. Loomis, the physician in charge, says the next twenty-four hours will de- veIop definitely whether they are small pox cases or not.
 The authorities of the hospital this morning emphatically deny the story which has been published to the effect that two employees of the hospital at tempted to escape last night. Since the hospital was quarantined two police men have been stationed outside the grounds to prevent anyone from enter ing. Last night one of the officers happening to see two men out in the yard of the hospital, at once concluded that they were trying to escape, and jumping over the fence arrested them and took them to the superintendent of the hospital. The men had been working since six o'clock in the morn ing and had only gone out into the yard for smoke, which they had perfect right to do. The physicians state that there is no panic among the employees at the hospital, and that none of them have expressed a wish to desert the patients who need their care.
 This morning another case was dis covered in the hospital, the victim being a young woman nurse named Met Oxen, a full blooded Indian. Thirty convales- cent patients, who were abont to be dis charged, are quarantined in the hospital.

Not a Bunslinp Job.

Sheriff Tomlinson and his deputies are indignant at the statement in Petrillo was a bungling job. Said one of them: "Of course it isn't SO easy to hang a man when he has to be dragged like raving maniac to the scaffold, as it is when he walks up to the gallows and meets his fate like a man. We had to be as quick as we could, because we were afraid that Petrillo would lie down on the platform and roll about and make a more awful scene than he did. The man suffered no pain, and his death was instantaneous for all practi- cal purposes"

NAUaATUcK, Nov 16.-We are cred ibly informed that the display of flowers put on exhibition by the echrysanthemum club, exceeds the fondest expectation of any member, and that the quantity and beauty of the different varieties are much above the average of town of this size. The rain did not prevent large audience from attending. While the first floor was filled with flowers tastefully arranged, the next was handsomely decorated and used to dis pose of light refreshments, while an orchestra discoursed music. To-day is children's day, the admission being only ten cents. The show will continue this evening and also tomorrow afternoon and evening. The prizes for the differ ent varieties were awarded yesterday and we will furnish a list of the winners tomorrow. We might say that Mrs l.. s. Beardsley took the first prize for amateurs, $1O.
 The correspondent who wrote up the Naugatuck demonstration should have mentioned the residences of John Ken nedy and Luman Pease on Meadow street, George Andrews and John M.

CONNECTICUT RESOURCES.

Facts About Our Little State Which Are
 Not Generally Known.
 The Weekly Record, in a recent issue, has a long article on the great resources of Connecticut, which many of it's citi- zens do not realize. Here are few of it's points:
 Connecticut has something over 100 miles of seacoast, and it's northern boundary is SS miles long, while the eastern and western boundaries are 45 and 72 miles respectively. The area of the state is 4,990 miles.
 The population of the state, which by the enumeration of 1890 was TAG, ,25S, is now doubtless fully SOO,0OO, and is in creasing at more rapid rate than ever before.
 Owing to the system of assessing property at from 50 to 75 per cent of its valuation, the true valuation of prop erty will be found to be not far from three quarters of billion dollars. Con- necticut's finances have been exceed ingly well administered. The entire state debt has been paid, with the ex- ception of bonds which cannot yet be redeemed, amounting in the aggregate to $3, ,240 ,000 and drawing interest at and 34 per cent. The state tax has been entirely remitted.
 Connecticut's banking facilities con- sist of 94 national banks, 8 state banks, 10 trust companies and ST savings banks.
 During the year 1891 all the insur- apce companies doing business in Con- necticut wrote risks of S226,3 ,369, ,309, re- ceiyed premiums of $2,029,2 ,237 and paid losses of $793,272. Connecticut is threaded with a net work of railroads. There are in the state ,O06 miles of track, of which PIP miles are double, making 333 miles of sidings, total of 1 ,551 miles. The rail road properties are valued at $125 ,957,. 529.
 Connecticut is one vast workshop, producing every article known to com merce, with markets ill every quarter of the globe.
 Connecticut has always been among the foremost states in establishing and maintaining a system of general educa- ton.

An Unusual Sight i'm Daubury.

DANBuRY, Nov 16.-The unusual sight of a wild fox wandering about al- most in the heart of the city has at among passers-by on the White street bridge, and an investigation revealed the fact that the fox has lived in the vicinity for some time without molesta- tion. He makes his home somewhere in the rear of the Meeker building and is frequently seen making his way along the river bank in the vicinity. He was first noticed when quite small, but is now full grown and very large ami mal. It is thought that he was a pet somewhere and has wandered away.
