Trying to Fini Out What Became of
 the Money.
 Since the voluntary assignment of K. A. Connolly, several of the creditors have been anxious to find out when their &C., counts were going to be settled. It was learned that the fixtures were the property of Thomas O'Connell of Middletown. Act ing in accordance with the statutes, Attor- ney Bronson, representing some of the creditors, to-day had Thomas O'Connell summoned before Joseph ONeill, SOD of Attorney O'Neill, committee appointed by Judge of Probate R. A. Lowe.
 The object was to find out what NJ. F. Connolly did with his money. OConnell was on the stand all day and told in pur- port that he had started Connolly in busi- ness in April, 1893. and that in November K. A. Connolly assumed the responsibility for the bills due. The fixtures he bought from Rothschild Sons, New York. In all he had given Connolly some $1, 300. He claImed the saloon and cafe was a paying business for time and that about g., ,0OO was due when the place was opened.

 representatives of the firms paced up and down the corridor of City hall and dis cussed the probable outcome of the meet, ing. While the agents were thus occupied City Sheriff John J. MeDonald appeared at the entrance and in stentorian tones called out the name of W. J Hayes & Sons. 'They have no agent here, answer ed the group of financiers. After consider ing the different propositions the meeting accepted the bid of W. J. Hayes < Sons. Representatives of the other firms tried to jolly the mayor by stating that the suc- cessful firm needed watching. The mayor thanked the boys for their timely advice I and assured them that the bonds would not be delivered until the money had been received The bonds ss sold will yield $20S, ,440.
 After disposing of this matter the alder derpen held short session and listened to few remarks from the mayor relative to the work of the beetles on the trees on l the green. Alderman Condor, chairman of the committee on public lands and buildings, said he would call meeting oi the committee tonight. when steps would be taken to prevent injury to the trees. Photographer Adt appeared before the meeting and stated that he had net been able to secure the same pattern of frames for the pictures of ex-mayors of Waterbury as the ones used on those already in tht aldermanic chamber. MT Adt exhibited another style of frame which the board thought was all right, and it was decided o allow the photo0rapher to use it.

Ire YOU ONE OE pHElI2

In England and Wales says the Pal
Man Budget. there are rather more
than five millions of husbandless wo-
men aged fifteen years and older.
Some of these women want to get mar
ried, and some don't-at least, they
say they don't.
Between now and this time next
year about 224, 900 out of those 5000,
900 husbandless women will have de-
cided that husband is worth having,
and they will accordingly get one
perhaps for the pleasure of keeping
him, perhaps not. This is a large
number of brides-so large, in fact,
that these brides equal in number the
whole present population of the coun-
ty of Hartford.
At ages fifteen to nineteen, only
fourteen women out of every thous
and unattached women of these ages
will marry during one year from now.
But at ages twenty to twenty four, no
fewer 107 women out of every ,00(
husbandless women OF these ages will
in one year only become those who die
improperly. After this second grouu

wear.
The last group, ages thirty five and
older, contains many women who
don't want to marry" and | expect
this condition of indifference partly
accounts for the fact that onl y twelve
per 1000, or, say, one in hundred
women of these ages marry during

RELIEVED At LAST.

Sentinels have accomplished won
ders of faithfulneSS and endurance,
but the service of sentinel on the
Island of Rugen, as reported by him
self, is a unique example of patience.
A detachment of the French General
Davoust's army was stationed on the
little island of Rugen. An order to
leave it Immediately was received,
and the soldiers embarked and sailed
away with the greatest haste. One
man was forgotten.
He was ON sentinel duty. Back and
forth he marched for hours after it
was time for some one to relieve him.
Finally he lost patience and returned
to headquarters and found the post
deserted. His company had departed
in obedience to imperative orders.
Il am lost, ruined, disgraced," he
lamented II shall be sent for and
shot as a deserter y
His distress touched the heart of a
good fellow who witnessed it, and he
took him home with him, cheered him
up, and adopted him into his family.
AS time passed and no summons
came from France, the soldier took
heart and became a good citizen of
Rugen. He endearei himself to his
adopted family, and married the
daughter of his protector.
Five years after the departure of
the French soldiers, a sail was sighted
from the island, and it was soon dis
covered that the men on board the APP
preaching ship wore French uniforms.
They have come for me ~ cried the
eX-sentinel.
A happy thought struck him. He
ran home, hurried into his old uni
form, seized his arms, and by the time
the French were ready to disembark
he was solemnly marching back and
fourth on the shore.
"Who goes there - he demanded,
in voice of thunder, as the soldiers
were about to land.
"Who goes there yourself?' replied
the astonished Frenchmen. who
are you, any way ?"
"A sentinel"
"How long have you been on duty p
Five years"
AS might be expected, such a model
of patience and perseverance was re-
lieved from duty until his case could
be inquired into, and when the mat
ter was reported to General Davoust,
he laughed heartily, and saying that
the fellow must need rest, gave him
his discharge.

JAP4NS CRUEL DIVORCE Law.

Hanniker Heaton has been gather
ing some very interesting marriage
statistics concerning the customs in
vogue in different countries, from
which one reads with amusement, and
perhaps a certain degree of amaze
ment, that throughout Japan man
may get a divorce if his wife talks too
much. Ordinary people may suppose
that this harsh law will have the eff
feet of curling loquacity, but it has
not. japanese ladies are the most
talkatlve of their sex and divorces are
common among them. In Thibet a
woman is entitled to three husbands.
In Melbourne a man may secure di
vorce if his wife gets drunk three
times, or if she habitually neglects her
household duties.
