He Paid q Poor Girls Fare to Water.
town-A Kind Act Towards "A
Bridxeport Newsboy.
Jennie Howarth, aged fsventeen, of
WATERFOWL, Conn.,, Saturday morning ap-
piled to Town Agent Clarity for transpor-
tation to her homo. She had come to this
city and soon after her arrival here she
was taken sick and removed to the hos
pital. She was discharged Saturday; and
being without money applied to the town
for transportation back to her home, which
was furnished her. She appears to have
misunderstood the direction of the town
agent. She boarded the train with the
town agents order instead of presenting 1t
at the Office of the company and receiving
her ticket. The pass, of course, was not
ticket, and finding this was 30 from the
conductor, she was in sore distress. John
q. Dillon, Of the firm of Dillon & Doug
lass, happened to be seated behind the girl
ct the time and hearing the conversation,
took pains to ascertain the cause of the
girls trouble. Upon being informed, he
kindly offered his own transportation book
for the passsge of the girl to her destina-
ton, which was accepted, and besides,
upon Learning of the girls deetitute cir
cumstances, presented her with hand
some sum of money.
In this connection another story was
also detailed of Mr.. Dillon's munifcence in
| similar case which happened ashort time
| ago. It appears that one day while travel
| ing upon the road his attention was drawn
| to . newsboy employed on the road named
John Grady of "a Wall street, Bridgeport.
He learned that the boy had recently lost
his mother, and was endeavoring by his
own energy to pay the expenses of his
mothers funeral from the mesger income
which he received on the rosd. He inves-
| tigated the boys story from what he had
learned, and discovered the facts IS he had
been informed, thus establishing the fact
| that the boy was persevering. Without
| saying word to the youngster he very
| quietly settled the bill dus the boy
| for bis mothers funeral expenses and aided
him further in securing a livelihood and
setting him on his feet. He aleo presented
| him with q new uniform.

NEW HAVEN MONEY.

Large Amount Intested In Lead
OOmpanles~FeArs That the Passage
or the WILSON B1lle Will Render tho
stock worthless.
Large sums OF money have been ex-
pended BY New Haven people at one time
or another in the work Of developing the
lead industries of the country. Some Of
the parties who put money into enterprises
In this line are dead and left their stock In
the companies to their widows and or
phans, and some of our best posted 6nan-
ciers say that If the Wilson bill passes
without change on this subject their hold
ings will be worth but very little. Said
che of our well-known business men on the
subject, eff tho tariff IL taken off from
lead ore It will enable Mexico to export
into our country their lead free of duty.
This will destroy the lead industries of
this country or at least cause irrepsrable
damage to them. Many of our citizens
who are interested in lead mines in Mis-.
souri, fear that If the Wilson bill passes the
mines will have to stop work. and that
their stock In the companies will be rem.
dered worthless. Congressman Pigott
writes his constituents that he shall vote
for the Wilson bill as 1t is presented to the
house. Efforts are being made In Wash
ington by the lead producers to have the
tariff on lead ore importations kept on,
this being absolutely necessary to save oul
| lead mining industries and enable them tc
operate to any advantage"

The Image Peddler.

You know these italian peddle boys
who go about with 4 tray load of plas-
ter images ON their heads? They are big
ger robbers than the trusts. They make
up lot of the images in the dark, and
next morning they name them.
One of the peddlers went into a gro
Gerry on Van Buren, street OH a storm
quiet day and begged with the custom
airy pitiful eyes and guileful heart for a
buyer. He was so persistent, he assured
his hearers so emphatically that all the
images were imported, he moaned so
perfectly over their ruinously low prices,
that the young woman who has charge
of the pickle department asked him what
he would take for a bust of Shakespeare.
He said, 1.-TWO dollar.
who's this?'' asked the fair patron.
Bacon" said the boy.
"How much for him?''
Three dollar"
IN give you % cents for the two, !"
said the girl
"All right" said the boy calmly, and
quickly setting the twain upon the
counter.
But she was game. She bought them,
solemnly declaring with beautiful hero
ism they We're perfect ikenesses, wrap
ped them tenderly in tissue paper and
started home with them in the evening
But the butcher boy from the Dear
born street side-af-th store said next
uoEfifg he had followed hc way
home, and he vowed he saw her s;lfl.i.
them against a fire plug at Third avenue
and skip along without once glancing
at the pieces. Francisco Post.

court of the old north state disclaimed
jurisdiction and the murderers were re.
leased and at once re-arrested and their
extradition demanded as fugitives from
