KATE DALY'S STORY.
Arrested Last Night For Abandoning
 Her Infant Child.

Arrested Last Night For Abandoning
 Her Infant Child.
 Last night Detective Egan and Officer Reid arrested Kate Daily, who abandoned her week old baby in New Haven last Wednesday, and also the man whose name has been mentioned as being the father of the child. The account of the birth of the child in Holohan's block and the girls departure to New Haven, where she left her child in a room Tn the Adrich house, has been closely followed by the gossips. The mans name is William Gilbert He is a good looking young fellow and denies being the father of the child. He said the child's fathers home is Bristol. He is married man who, he understood, has gone south. Gilbert came to Waterbury five months ago, he said, and went to work at Randolph S Gloves factory, and boarded at Mrs ScovilI's, 492 South Main street, where he became acquainted with the girl. He liked the girl and they became fast friends. When she confded her con- dition to him he pitied her and furnished her with money to rent room from Will liam E. Roberts in Holohan's block and paid her expenses during her illness~ Gil bert called to see her frequently while she remained there. After her child was born Gilbert advanced her some money to take her to New Haven where she said she could secure home for the child. Last week she returned and told her story to Gilbelt. He never advised her to abandon her child and is willing to marry the girl if by so doing the charge of abandonment will not be preferred against her. The girl IS tall, dark complexioned and good looking and says that Gilbert is not the father of her child. Under the circumstances it is questioned whether the woman can be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, as she will as sert that she did not wholly intend to abandon the child.
 Section l ,414, page 326 of the Connecti- cut general statutes states: Every person having the charge of any child under the age of six years, who shall expose 1t in any place with intent wholly to abandon it, shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars and imprisoned in the state prison not less than two nor more than five years.
 Detective Sergeant Reilly of New Haven came to Waterbury on the 11:17 train this morning after the prisoners. They went down on the 1:2S train and Detective Reilly says there will be no trouble for either party, provided the man Is willing to marry the woman. Detective Reilly believes the cases will be nolled on pay ment of costs. Gilbert says he has money coming to him from Randolph ,S Cloves, and he will settle everything.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Louisville base ball cranks are joyful over the prospective singing of Danny Richardson to play shortstop.
 Manager Hanlon has requested the Balti- more players to report April 1, preparatory to making southern trip.
 Frank Killen refused to accept the same salary from the Pittsburg club that was paid him last year. Foolish Killen.
 The Louisville club will open the coming season with six pitchers, namely, Hem ming, Kilroy Menafee, Sanders. Stratton and Wittrock.
 The New York club confidently expects to sign two Cleveland players, and that Ward will bring with him two players from the south.
 Mike Kelly is out with the announce ment that he will commence training about Feb 15. By the way, who wants Mike for the season of 1894?
 Very little stock is taken in the state ment that 1t will take $7 ,000 for New York to secure Pitcher Breitenstein or SC, 900 to corral Charley Farrel.
 The ''big four' of Deroit, who created such sensation in their day-Brouthsrs Jim White, Jack Rowe and Hardy Richardson-are pretty we'll out of base ball. Brouthers Is the only one playing in the league and he is on his last legs. He figured largly as substitute for Brooklyn last season, and it is q question how long Baltimore will put up with him unless he turns over new leaf. He has not toed the mark by good deal for several seasons. Jim White is prospering in business in Buffalo and Hardy Richardson has a pay ing hotel in Utica. Jack Rowe played with the Buffalo club last season, but had to give way this year to a younger and, therefore, hvelier man. Another of the great Detroit club passed out of the base ball history with Charlie Bennett. Sam Thomp- son is the fastest of the club now playing Mitchell Is with the Louisviiles and Gan gel is with the BostonS.

Wholesome Gincerbread.

Gingerbread is most wholesome cake for children and indeed for everybody who likes it. It is baked in flat tin and is made with half a pound molasses, ounces butter, 2 ounces coarse brown sugar, three-fourths pound flour, half an ounce ground ginger, an egg, gill milk, half 8 teaspoonful baking powder, if liked a little allspice and cinnamon. Mix all the dry ingredients together, melt the butter and molasses together, add the milk; let it be warm, but not hot. Beat the egg, mix with the dry ingredients; then make into a smooth dough with the warm molasses and milk. We'll grease the tin, and when partly baked brush over with egg or milk. This will glaze the top. To be cut into squares for serving

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

D. J. Dunn's Connection With the Rose
 Hill Charity Entertainment. Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 Dear sir: If the committee of the Rose Hill Social club had mentioned the color of the pants they would have saved me a great deal of annoyance. When I was asked to sing for the minstrels (which was the original Rose Hill minstrels with the exception of two, who are out of town) for the benefit of the relief bureau, said l would give my time and talent free, but that did not have pair of black pants to wear with a full dress suit; that some time ago I was obliged to buy pair of black pants to go on with the Rose Hill min strels, and that would not buy another pair for one special occasion, as I had five mouths to feed and I could not afford it. Then was told to go to the One Price Clothing store and get pair. l did as di- rected and now I am obliged to put up with the severe criticisms of the public, who do not know the true state of affairs. Every man has not always a pair of black pants to meet every occasion. And every man cannot put his hand in his pocket and buy one for one nights wear But if had known (as do now) that I could have rented a pair, would gladly have done so and returned them. I have sung over fifty times..for Charity in twelve years, and think have done my share.
 Very respectfully,

WHAT Is TRuTHP
Father Mulcahy's Discourse at the Cor
 vent Last Night.

Father Mulcahy's Discourse at the Con
 vent Last Night.
 Rev J. A. Mulcahy spoke on ''Truth" at the Convent of Notre Dame last night. He said:
 "Truth may be either subjective or ob- iective. Objective truth is being itself. Subjective truth is the conformity of our thought with its object. Our perception of an object does not constitute truth. The conformity of our perception to the existing object can alone constitute this truth.
 The relations of objects to the intellects vary according as the intellect is specu- lative or practical. The practical intellect is that which first ccnceives the idea of an object and then gives to it actual existence. Such is the mind of the architect, the creative mind. The speculative intellect, on the contrary, re-supposes the existence of the object; and the ideas which 1t has are but the already existing object. Thus we may perceive how the real object is en- tirely dependent upon the practical intellect ill accordance with whose idea 1t has come into existance; whilst, on the other hand, the speculative intellect is wholly dependent upon its object whose likeness formed theideas entertained.
 Relative to all created things the divine lAIS1lSSb 10 PAhS1AONA' AAS ideas in the divine intellect are the types of all things that exist. These depend absolutely upon the creators mind, and they are necessarily in conformity with the ideas existing therein. Hence, arises the objective truth of all being. relative to Gods conception of it.
 "The human intellect is speculative in this sense that it does not create objects, but merely perceives them already in ex- istence. It obtains knowledge of them only through their image, which it finds photographed in itself. Hence, we ac- quire knowledge of objects, because the creator has not only given them existence, but has also endowed them with the power to make themselves known by presenting to the senses or the intellect perfect images of themselves. When this image or representation of the object is perfect, it resembles the idea of it existing 1n the divine mind. Hence, when this idea re- sides in the senses or intellect, there is necessarily perfect conformity between it and the existing object, and we have ob- tained knowledge of truth.
 "From this truth there is but one step needed to affirm the existence of the ob- ject. The image was a necessary condi- ton of the idea, or perception; but it also necessarily pre-supposes the object causing it. There the idea we entertain logically demands actual objective existence"

The Origin of Starching.

The course of history carries us back no further than the year 1864 for the origin of starching in London. It was ill that year that Mistress Van der Plasse came with her husband from Flanders to the English metropolis ''for their greater safety" and there professed her self starcher. The best housewives of the time were not long ill discovering the excellent whiteness of the "Dutch linen," as it was called, and Mistress Plasse soon had plenty of good paying clients. Some of these began to send her ruffs of lawn to starch, which she did so excellently we'll that it became a saying that if any one sent her ruff made of a spiders web she would be able to starch it. So greatly did he1 reputation grow that fashionable danes went to her to learn the art and mystery of starching, for which they gladly paid premium of e4 or e5, and for the se- cret of seething starch they paid gladly farther sum of % shillings.-New York World

BIG RAILROAD PROJECT.
Underwriting Syndicate for the New
 York and New England Road.

Underwriting Syndicate for the New
 York and New England Road.
 There is a project to organize syndi- cate to underwrite for the New York and New England railroad with $40 ,00O, GOO of per cent gold bonds for 50 years. It is proposed to consolidate all the first and second mortgage bonds, thus reducing the fixed charges. If the syndicate is obtained, the holders of the per cent first mortgage bonds an exchange in 4 per cents offering premium at the rate of perhaps 11O. If necessary cash at par will be offered. The holders of the per cents will probably be satisfied with an exchange at par for the new per cent. Then the stockholders will be asked to advance 10 per cent on the common and about 25 on the preferred stock. It is likely that thus $2, 500, ,OOO of the bonds will thus be taken by the stock holders. The fixed changes now are $1O,- 900, 900 and by the consolidation would be finally reduced to $9,000, ,000.

Roasting Beef.

The sirloin of beef ought to be roasted in 8 moderately hot oven and pasted frequently with the fat and gravy which drip from it. Time required will be a quarter of an hour for each pound of beef and a quarter over. The English always roast their large joints of beef on 8 spit before the fire, and in this way an excellent flavor is obtained. The beef gravy is never thickened, but served clear and free from fat.

The B. & o. r. r., the pioneer of the Ameri-
can hallway System, has of recent years been
renewing its youth, so to speak, and attracting
to its lines constantly increasing share of the
passenger traffic ceaselessly passing between
the cities of the Atlantic seaboard and the
great Mis- .issippi Valley. As an evidence of
this fact it may be stated that its revenue from
passenger traffic was 81, 262, 900 in 1888, while
for the fiscal year ended June Both, 1893, it
rose to S6,6lS, 900, being IL gain of over fifty
five per cent in the last five years. 1t will be
noted thai the last fiscal year ended June 30th,
and that the heavy business to the World S
Fair is not included in the figures, but will go
to swell the gross receipts for the fiscal year
ending June Both, 1894. No road i'll America
has had greater experience than the H. & O.
in handling large volumes of passenger bust
ness, and none is able to do it better Every
four years it is called upon to transport the en-
thusiastic thousands from the East, North and
West to and from the presidential naugurals.
and it broke all previous records by its work
during the rand Army encampmont at WASH
ington, i'll 1892. Thus prepared by its past ex-
periences the b. & o. was in position to take
good care of the multitudes travelling to Chca-
go during the Worlds Fair, and while it pro-
bably carried to and from Chicago a greater
number of people than any otherroad of equal
mileage it is gratifying to be able to state that
not single Worlds Fair traveller was killed
on the b. and o. system.-Bdtfo. american, De-
Gender 81, 1898.

The House of Representatives on

The House of Representatives on
Monday voted to abolish the bounty
on sugar and also to allow refined su-
gar to come in free of duty. Represen-
tatives Talbot and Compton voted
against the bounty but in favor of re-
tanning the tariff on refined sugar
Representative Mckaig's vote was i'll
favor of the bounty but against the
tax. The other Maryland members
were not present. The Republicans
voted with the free traders against
the recommendation of the Ways
Means Committee, which was to place
a duty on refined sugar and abolish
the bounty paid to American growers
of sugar. Their object in doing this
was far from patriotic. They are
evidently endeavoring to cut down
the receipts from the tariff, in order
10 place the Democrats at disad-
vantage and compel them to retain
the heavy duty on manufactured
goods
