our best to make house of the olden time out of it, the decorators, the Ripley Brothers of Hartford, who brought not only careful study but also keen sense of state pride to their work, even repro ducing in stencil the color and design of paper upon the walls of certain rooms in our state which had given hospitality to Washington.
 It may be of interest to know that ev- erything used in the building either came from Connecticut or was manufactured on the premises by Connecticut men. An endless amount of hard and discrim- mating work went into the collecting of the various loans and articles for furnish ing-loans most cheerfully granted, in spite of the distance of transportation and chance of accident-and history of the contents of this house would carry us as deeply into the public as into the familiar everyday life of early Connecticut.
 We have Israel Putnam's gun here, as well as his portrait, and a three-edged sword carried under Cromwell and through our own Revolutionary war, hanging over commission signed by the last colonial governor. Our present governor and his staff had luncheon earlier in the year from table two hundred years old. There is counterpane upon the thigh poster" in one of the bed rooms one hundred and forty years old, and bed hangings one hun- nfx,f f4xyo INr~ 9v. stitch that we are copying in our own tinae- A warminB pun makes us gtud tfrut our days are days of steam, and if the old spinet here had an echo we might hear once more the music of an earlier and statelier time. The high-backed chairs, one of which has held every president from Jackson to Grant, inclusive, and in which the decision in the famous Dred Scott case was reached, prove to us over again that the early settlers of Connecti- cut had physical as we'll as mental back bone. The tapestries upon the walls, re- produced and loaned to us by the Cheney Brothers of our own state, remind us that younger sons did not always come por- aoAoAASSo w oHC OolohlCS HUH buOlE EltSllSH homes, and the writing desk, with it's mys- terious hiding places, proves that the keeping of secrets is not modern accom- plishment; while the dining room, with it's corner cupboards, blue china and pew ter platters, its candle sticks, andirons and old tankards, convinces us that there | was abundant reason for the traditions of that rare New England hospitality which is known the world over
 All these things serve to make us feel ourselves part of the past, or they would if the pictures upon the walls did not let out the secret of Connecticut's progress, and whisper to us that it is largely to the manufacturers and business men of our state that we owe the fact that we have state building and women's board of managers, an outline of whose work have tried to give.
 It does not sound like much in the tell
 ing, but we brought to it's fulilment the
 best we had. That which we carry away
 will brighten the recollections of life l time.

THE SPELLING LESSON.

You say that you can spell, sir, then be good enough to tell, sir, How you spell me ''parallel,' sir, "syn- thesis" and ''semaphore. And perhaps you will try ''ecstatic" and 'syncatigorematic," "Homileticn and "hepatic, ;" with an ex- tra dozen more. Can you spell schryselephantine, s'peri- phrastic,' and "Levantine,'' Or the simple "adamantine, and the "polysyndeton ?n Can. you tackle "anchylosis," can you spell "anadiplosis," ''Enthymeme," 'hypotiposis p If you can, you're getting on. Such little words as ''grieving," s.galli- manfry," and deceiving," Oh, there's really no believing what mistakes you sometimes see! " "Pyenostile, sparoxysmal,' v. scaratides,'' ? and sscharismal,' Words like these, its really dismal when they're misspelt at 8 ''bee." So you'd better learn ssenclitic;" can you conquer analytic p With ''torentic' and "mephitic," and a 'Spenthemeral' pause; And there's 'prestidigitation," "homo- cereal ,n "cacchination." Oh, it's quite an education to learn or thographic laws!. Some long words anatomic, have sound that's rather comic, And for verses palindromic would be simply most absurd. There's the shorter "peroneus, and "pal- atopharyngeus," aSterno-cleido-m could you choose simpler word? "Hydrostatic, irridescent, :" "aromatic,' ,''
 s'adolescent,"
 "Enigmatic," "evanescent; ;" these are
 easy words, you see! "Manducation," "macaronic," "percola-
 tion," "geoponic," "Annuation," antiphonic ;" there's a
 merry spelling bee!

The late William J. Gibbons, of Will mington, Delaware, was known in his day for number of things, and not the least of these was his great fondness for joke. He was president of a company having considerable trade with the Amazon and other South American rivers. Part of their work was the building of boats for these rivers, called in the language of the shop knock downs" that is, boats set up in the yard of the company and bolted together in shape, and then taken down, packed aboard sailing vessels, and shipped to their destination, where they were put together finally and for good. On one oc- casion this operation was performed ac- cording to programme, and the captain of the schooner that was to take the boat was about receiving his final orders. Among these was an order not on the regular programme, to stop at certain wharf near the mouth of the Christiana Creek, and take aboard about two tons of dynamite. The captain was little dis turbed when learned the nature of his di- version, and said:
 "Well, I don't know, MT. Gibbons, about the internal stuff. What will we do if 1t should go off?
 Quick as thought came the answer: "Preseaat my regards to Saint Peter, please"
 But the dynamite went all right.-"Ed- itor's Draaoer," iu Harper's Magasiaee." Wade's Fibre and Fabric: Once in 0 while we see rift in the business clouds, but it seems to close again. Though things are slowly improving we hardly notice it. and business will not be real act i've until after stock taking. Our advice to the help is: Accept the cutdown and keep at work. At the same time wise manufacturers will not cut too deep. If they do, 1t will mean trouble for them when they are seeking cloth later on. Values have shrunk, the water has been squeezed out of stocks, and labor must come down with the rest. The help realize this, and the merciful man will be running his mill when cloth means divi- dends, while those who are harsh now will find trouble later on. It will be much better to call in few hands from each room and explain patiently why the cut down has become necessity. This would often prevent trouble which impoverishes the employees.

WOULD RATHER POISON HERSELF.
A Shocking Story Told by a
Child Yesterday.
She Was Kept without Clothing and
Her Wages Taken From Her.
The Girl Tells Her Story to Judge Nc
Kiniey Yesterday How Annie
Ryan Was Treated by the
Man Who Called Him.
self Her Father.

Yesterdays proceedings in the habeas
corpus case which lie being heard before
Judge Mckinley in department six
brought to light deplorable condition
of affairs.
AS reported in yesterdays HERALD,
the action was brought by one O'Han-
rshan to recover possession OF a 14-year-
old girl, whose father he claimed to be.
Yesterday, from the evidence of a
number of witnesses, it was discovered
that for the past two years O'Hanrshan
has been forcing Annie to WORK as SER
want in various private houses.
Annie's employers were instructed by
O'Hanrahan to pay her wages to him or
to Mrs. O'Hanrahan, and the unfortu-
nate child was kept in a shocking state,
being even without proper clothing.
One witness, Mrs. Stuart, testified
that the girl had to go to bed in a COM
plete state OF nudity, being without the
proper garments suitable at such time.
Mrs. Sheldon Borden testified that
Annie was employed by her, and that
she found the girl in such destitute
condition that che herself bought her
underclothing and other garments. On
one occasion Annie was ill, and Mrs.
OHanrahan, who was informed of it,
told the witness to throw her out, or
send her to the hospital. The witnesa
also stated that the unnatural o. Hanra-
hans took away the underclothing from
Annie which Mrs. Borden had herself
purchased.
Annie herself went upon the stand
and corroborated the above statements.
She is a pretty, pale little thing, and
has evidently from her appearances and
her hesitation on the witness stand yes
terday, endured terrible treatment at
the hands of her slave driver, who
claims to be worth half million, and
yet took her poor little earnings, leaving
the child without cent with which to
provide herself with the necesearies of
existence.
Mrs. Stuart, of the Bellevue house,
said that che employed Annie in her
house. The girl was without proper
clothing. She had oLly one dress, no
undercIothing, and was obliged to sleep
at night without the proper garments.
The girl was always quiet and lady
like, and Was liked by ali who knew her.
Annie had often told the witness that
she would rather work all her life than
go back to O'Hanrahan. If che had to
return she declared che would poison
herself
At the conclu zion of the last witness
statement the court adjourned until to-
day.

REDDY ARRAIGNED.

His Story of the Case Looked Upon With
suspicion.
John Reddy, the fellow who entered
the room of two young girls at 7lb South
Hope street, early Tuesday morning,
was ARA gned in Justice Seaman's court
yesterday upon this charge of burglary.
The examination was set tor today at 2
O'Clock.
Reddy's story that he was drunk
and thought he was entering his own
room is looked upon rather suspiciously
BY some of the members OF the police
department.
There is no denying the fact that
Reddy bears a very unsavory reputation.
This ls one thing that goes badly against
him.
Ii is tho~ ght that while the evidence
may be sufficient to hold him over tothe
superior court it is not Strong enough TO
secure conviction.
Reddy is said to be nephew of Pat
rick Reddy, the famous San Francisco
lawyer.

WANTS AN AMENDMENT.

Robert Shsver Kicks About a Sewer
Assessment.
Robert Shever filed protect with the
city clerk yesterday to be presented at
the next meeting of the council relative
to tha assess ment district for sewer on
Brent street between Lake Shore avenue
and Temple street.
He feels agrieved at the street super
intendent's action in the matter, claim
ing that the assessment was improperly
made. This, he says. is especially the
caee at the intersection of Brent and
Temple streets. which was not done in
accordance with law.
He says that the cost of construction
is not assessed upon the quarter blocks
cornering on the intersection, or upon
the intrenching alleys at the termina-
tions.
MIR. Shever asks that the assessment
be amended in accordance with the law.

Not Many Days.

The owners of the Clark & Bryan
tract had expected q weeks outing in
selling on the grounds their liz lots.
But after yesterdays run the snap is so
numerously marked with the cross
of taken" there is every indication
the sale will not last longer than to-
morrow, and probably cloae today. Over
40 lots are taken and at the present
prices the owners have concluded to
close the sale on the disposition of 80
lots. The remaining lots will be with
drawn from the market, and later Of
fered at advanced prices. This is your
last opportunity to buy in the center of
the city nice, large lot at any such
prices. There are no little 25-foot lots
in this tract on which nothing but a
little chicken COOP can be erected and
have to crawl over that to feed the
chickens. No, they are all large, fine
lots, that invite good class of improve
msnts at half the price of the chicken
coop lots. Nothing compares with the
prices on this beautiful tract at the cor
ner of Eighth and San Pedro. If you
don't believe it, come on the grounds
and see Wesley CLARK or +. ?. Bryan.
Sale opens this a. m. ON the grounds.
