Exercises at the Anniversary of the LoI al
 Branch.
 The xercises attending the thirty sixth anniversary of the Young Mems Christian association at the First Methodist church last evening was of a very interesting na- ture and was listened to by an unusually large gathering of people. The exercises were under the direction of George w. Beach, acting president of the association. The programme opened with an organ prelude followed by an invocation f:om the Rev Dr Davenport. The Gloria. 5 from MoZart's twelfth m Iss was effect lively rendered by the choir. Prayer was offered by Rev Gardner Eldridge and Rev Dr Anderson. The third annual report of Secretary Folsom of the local Y. M. c. A. was read and showed that the association is making rapid strides in Waterbury. Still the dull times have had their effect on their revenues. Last year the associa- tion met its running expenses; this year there is a deficit of $500, besides a bill for interest amounting to about S7OO. The list of patrons numbering l7y. contributed last ye r. S1 600, which sum is about $500 less than the previous year and S1 .OOO less then two years ago. The income from regular memberships amounted to g, ,595. which is much less than the management had reason to expect The income from rented rooms amounted to Sl 7U0. On O,toter l the membership was 4S0. be sides 179 contributors. The average at- tendance at the meetings conducted by the devotional committee has been los. The meeting for boys. under the direction of MT Steer. have been eminently satisfac- tory. averaging 12S The committee on sick yisitations have done much good work during the year.

They Meet.

It was tho regular monthly meeting of the Murray Hill Girl Bachelors club. Miss Sophia Grccngoggs had read her able paper on Man n Failure, With Great Big F. Miss Passc had rccitcd an orig inal poem entitled ''Waiting''-not an old maids confession, by any means, but the autobiography of n female waitress at the seaside. Then followed n touching song by Miss Highscc entitled She Had to Darn Her Own Silk Hose Because Her Husband Wouldn't" After this came n debate, "In Russian ten should 1t be four fingers of gin to ono of ten, or vice versat" Then came a thesis by Boston poetess entitled Man as Woman's Stepping Stone to Higher Things"
 Then it was moved and seconded that the scrgCantcss-at-ar arms cxpcl and forcver after exclude from the sacred precincts of the club everything male, even to But tons" and the tomcat Felix. It was then resolved that woman was the only true inhcritor to the privileges of the earth and that man had stolen her birthright; that she alone was nt oncc the wisCst, most diplomatic and heroic of all the Crcatures of the mundane sphcrc, the only undaunt- cd and true heroine in all exlgcncies and emergencies of life
 The resolution would have been finished and carried with overwhelming cclat had not at this very moment tho president paused in the recitation, turned deadly pallor, and, shrickinE, mounted n chair. Confusion rcigncd. Four of the heroines tainted, l9 others mounted tables and con venicnt furniture, while two climbed up the chandelier just as wCe little mousic scampercd ncross tho floor Instantly the sergeantcss- at arms flourishcd n small poker above her head, and with that the little mouse made n bco line for the near est hole.
 After quiet was restored the president put tho following resolution: Resolved, l Tint the rcaSon the honorable body arose in such constcrnation with the advent of q mouse in tho sacrcd precincts of this castle of fcmininity was not because it was n mouse but because that mouse was of the opprobrious sex which this cstima-
 ble body has sworn to rcpudiatc once and forever.
 But how do you know it was man mousc!' inquired one of tho more cour | agcous of the council. Because he had l whiskcrs?"
 "No," replied the learned president; ''l
 knew 1t must be male mouse, because il
 was proved hero that in his game with
 women 1t only takes n little poker to put | him in n hole"
 There was n dead silence for ten sec
 onds, and then the samovar exploded | New York World.

Suit For s5,oOO Against a Waterbury
 Paper In the Works.
 Frank Nussenholtz of New Haven has started a suit for s 900 damages against H. Kaufman Of Waterbury. Some time ago the latter borrowed some S7O0 from the former aud gave as security stock of furs. Kaufman alleges that he paid the debt in full and that NussenholtZ refused to return the furs and sold them at half price. Then the Waterbury man brought suit.
 The New Haven man now counters with another. owing to a publication in the Wa terbury Globe. The article purports to be Kaufman's side of the ca sni is a tirade against Nussenholtz. and the latter charges the Waterbury man with malicious prose cution. Kaufman is now in jail. as he has been unable to get bail. He was arrested Saturday.
 The New Haven Register says. also. that Nussenholtz has engaged counsel to bring suit against the Globe for 5000. and that the papers will be served this week.

sIysteriou. Find.

ENFIELD. Oct. 22 Conrad Rochelein while walking along the Danbury road last Wednesday. discovered a satchel. On opening it he found several circulars. and several packages of metal polish. On the circulars were sentences leading to the be- lief that the owner of the satchel had taken his own life. The bag is nearly new. and from its appearance it is believed to have belonged to self respecting per. son. probably an agent. Some of the sentences on the circulars are as follows ''I am going crazy. I feel it now in my head. So I conclude on this action. It is now about two o'clock" "I always thought God was merciful. but this is trying me beyond endurance. I wish it was otherwise" Someone will be kind enough to give me work, if I cannot get that in reasonable time my life will csms to an end" Some believe the affail to be a huge joke. but it has a serious side. and it is more than probable that the owner of ths bag ended his life.
