AN OPEN LETTER
FROM
Gee. F, Chapman, Esq.
A former Councilman and Resi-
dent of Waterbury.
BRIDGEPORT, March ., 1898.

BRIDGEPoRT, March 3 1898.
Sawyer Medicine Co:
Gentlemen, having little confidence in
the extravsgant claims made for most of
the proprietary medicines of the present
day I seldom give them a trial, but the
pleasant personal acquaintance with your
senior, Mr. Andrew Sawyer, extending
over twenty years, gave me assurance that
any statements made by you regarding
your medicinal preparations could be i'm
phi lilly accepted as fact. l have recent
ly been using your Dandelion Compound
for indigestion and an extremely bilious
condition of the stomach, and find the re-
suits justify all you claim for it. From
my own experience L confidently recon-
mend it to my friends as an Alternative and
tonic and the assurance of many we'll
known people leads me believe it blood
purifier and spring medicine of decided
value. Very Respectfully Yours,
G. B CHAPMAN

WHY Misrepresentation should be so
general in republican newspapers, as to
the number of fourth-class postmasters
appointed, when it is so easy to get the
official figures, is one of those things
that are difficult to understand. The
republican postmasters cannot be "fired
out" too fast for the average democrat,
and it would, therefore, when viewed
through party glasses, be rather credit
able than otherwise to Mr. Maxwell had
he exceeded the record of Mr. Clarkson
in putting in republicans four years ago,
but he has not come up to that record
by long shot, as will be seen from the
figures below. During the first two
months of the Harrison administration
5, 104 fourth-class postmasters were ap.
pointed, while the number appointed
during the first two months of the
present administration only reached
3, 1914, of which 1855 were made to fill
vacancies caused by resignation and
death. So you see only 1900 republi-
cans have been removed, against 3,40G
democrats removed by Clarkson in the
same period. Brother Maxwell may
largely increase his speed in making re,
movals without offending any good
democrat. The record of presidential
postmasters appointed during the same
period stands Harrison 264, Cleveland

An italian Woman Who Ran an Orphan

Sister Giuscppina, founder of the
order of Maria Santissima della Con

Gently arrested in Milan for persistent
swindling She might truly be called
queen of Italian bcggars. Her correct
name is Giuscppina Maria Florrsta
She was born in Turin forty-four years
ago, and at the age of sixteen was
beautiful woman already well known
by the mon about town She led Il
wild life in Turin until her twenty.
6fth year, and then went to other
Italian cities in which she continued
her questionable career until diSsipa-
ton had oblitcratcd her beauty.
She returned unrccognizcd to Turin
at the age of thirty-Scvcn, and, in the
garb of n sister, began the work of
founding the order of Maria Sautissima
della Consolata, whose special mission
she described as the care of poor or
phans. Although unsupported by the
clergy, she obtained largo sums of
money from philanthropists, bought
an old barracks and filled it with or
phans. She then turned the institu-
ton into u begging enterprise. Every
day, hot or cold, wet or dry, she com
PEELED all the orphans to tramp the
streets and beg for money. This money
she deposited to her own credit in the
bank, reserving hardly a dollar day
for the food and clothes of the orphans.
The children were starved and beaten
so persistently that one in every ten
died after a few months in the institu-
ton. The places of the dead ones
were filed at once, however, by Sister
Giuseppina and the four accomplices
/ whom she had dressed in sisters garb
and impressed into her service.
At the end of the second year Sister
Giuseppina had saved ten thousand
dollars from the proceeds of the chill
dren's begging. She then left the
Turin institution to the supervision of
| n subordinate and went to Milan, where
| she established second institution for
begging. BY the beginning of 1891
| she had sixty sisters and a number OF
| orphans in her service, had saved a
| little fortune estimated at between
forty and fifty thousand dollars, and
was receiving an annual income which
in Italy was large enough to be called
/ princely, She became ambitious to be
/ come a millionaire, however, and tc
this ambition was due the discovery OF
the fraud.
She left Milan to found still another
begging institution. She selected
Intra, on the Lago Maggiore, as the,
scene of her new enterprise, and was
unable to exercise the requisite disci-
pline in the Turin and Milan institu-
tions. In both quarrels over the spoil,
broke out, and by the time Sister
Giuseppina had set in operation her
begging society in Intra her ibordi,
mates had betrayed her imposture t.
the police. When she arrived in Milan
she was arrested and taken to Jail.

THE WATERS VICTORIOUS
Nearly All the New York Hotels Hav
Given in to the. Men.

New York, May 9.-The local walters
strike in the large uptown hotels has
almost ended. One by one the hotels have
acceded to some of the demands of their
employees, until now but few houses are
at odds with the union men. The walters
did not get all the concessions asked for,
but gained enough of them to constitute a
victory.
The success of the strikers is attributed
to lack of cooperation among the hotel
men, and the ease with which places
could be secured for the men in Chicago.
1t is said that preparations are now be-
ing made to carry the agitation into the
big restaurants.

Tile Subject Of "a Fine Lecture Before
tile Neu-Century Club. by Colonel
Thomas Wentworth Higginsun. Last
Night
Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higginson,
the eminent historian and literateur,
Of Cambridge. Mass delivered a fine
lecture in the New Century Club build
ing last night. His subject was Liter
allure in America Colonel Hlgginson
is Of medium build. He has strong
face and q broad, well-developed fore.
head. He speaks slowly, in low, pleas.
ant voice.
He said that the first requirement of d
literary mau Is a vocabulary He muet
know words and their uses II people
were asked the question, great many of
them would reply that words come from
the dictionary But words come from
the masses, vigor comes from the masses
He spoke of the influence that social
superiority has had upon literature, anil
related an Incident of the life Of Voltairs
as an example He told how the gifted
author was insuted at the table Of s.
duke by titled Frenchman. How, when
the nobleman asked who and what he
was, the witty writer replied that be
n
tried TO honor the one he did bear Later.
Voltaire was dragged from the same
table by the lackeys of that nobeman
and dashed, and finally banished to Eng
land
Colonel Higginson said that literature
was born ia this country in 1903, and
within ten years afterward it was firmly
established In 1916 William Cullen
Bryant wrote his Thanatopsis, two years
later Cooper wrote "The Spy" He spoke
of Samuel Sewell Of colonial fame. How
he wrote verse on everv occasion, both i'm
and out of season Once. Mr. Sewell
while counting his fourth widow, whom
he afterward married, called upon her
Ia one hand he carried a bit of verse, in
the other two penny worth Of sugar
candy delight for the body and for the
soul
He said that in no country is literature
so abundant, so we'll known and SO w d
appreciated as in America. He spoke q
the difference between American and
English literature, especially In maya
zines. In England people of the same
station people who live alike and people
who think alike contribute articles 90
their magazines. Here people who live
differently and think differently. con
tribute different articles
In speaking of slang, Colonel Higgir
son said tibet he called on Lord TennysoD
once, before he was Lord Tennyson. lie
used the word "rot and then Colonel
Higginson sighed. and wished that he
had called on Lord Tennyson before ia
had ever heard that word, rot.
The lecture was interesting through
out and inierspersed with humorous
well-told Incidents I5 was listened TO
by a fair-sizsd audience.
