The Hospital Aid Society.

We would again call the attention of
those who are interested in the comfort
of the patients in our hospitals to the
Hospital Aid society Many workers
have come in so that we have drawn
largely on our treasury in supplying
materials; this is very gratifying as the
hospitals need all we can furnish them
but the money we now have is only
sufficient to meet our outstanding bills
We are very much in need Of funds to
continue the work. 1t would seem that
this society ought to appeal to the SYM
pathy of all who know anything of sick
ness and how necessary to the comfort
of patients fresh garments are. Many
persons are taken to the hospitals with
out even a change of garments and
these are the ones that the Hospital
Aid society endeavors to make more
comfortable by providing them with
q change of clothing and suitable wraps
when convalescent During the month
of February the work was in charge of
Mrs. S. D. Bowers and Miss Lawrence
Fifty-thra large garments We're made
We gratefully acknowledge the fol-
lowing donations received in February:

The Late Mr.. Clough.
COm ml1nicated.l

Westville, Conn, March THE I'M
6ersigned, in common with many 9TH
ers, was surprised and panied at the
sentiments expressed in the unsigned
communication which recently appear
ed in your columns concerning the i'll
ness and death of the late George
Clough. 1t is quite evident that the
writer was unacquainted with the facts
in the case and has done this communi-
ty gross injustice. The deceased had
many warm friends who We're willing
and did assist him, and he was repeat
eddy urged to abandon his undesirable
quarters and take up his abode at
Springside home, but refused to do So
There is no evidence that he had at any
ime suffered for the want of food or
clofhing. and as soon as his illness be-
came known Selectman Beecher was
notified and he acted with such prompt
ness and dispatch that within few
hours after receiving notice the man
was at the almshouse being properly
cared for 1t may not be out of place
10 add that it was due, in some meas
ure at least, to the efforts of few of
these misguided and uncharitable peo-
pie that his remains found a suitable
resting place instead of being consigned
to a pauper's grave.
In conclusion permit me to say that 1
think it would have been quite as well
# your correspondent had taken the
trouble to ascertain the facts in the
fase before indulging in miserable filings
1T a community which. judging from
his communication, can give him few
points in regard to charity that may be
beneficial Yours respectfully,
WILLIS 3. ISBELL.

4 TEIL or MYSTERY

Surrounds the Fate of "a Bridgeport Man
His Dead Body Found-His Neck Broken
The Police and Coroner Have No Clue
in the Case.
Bridgeport, March Sat Z o'clock this
morning the dead body of John Kmin-
ski a Hungarian, about twenty years
old, was found at the foot of a flight of
stairs at 11S Hancock avenue. A veil
of mystery surrounds his death and so
far the police have been unable to find
anybody who knows the circumstances
of the young mans death. Another
Hungarian who was seen with him ear
Her IN the evening was arrested but as
Coroner Doten thought there was no
evidence of his having been connected
with the affair he was released The
police and coroner have investigated
the case, but all efforts to locate the
guilty parties, if there are any, have
failed. The body was discovered by
woman who stumbled over it as she
was leaving the house. The story told
by John Brodnig, the main detained by
the police, is that he and Kminski spent
the greater part of the night at a card
house and that both left there under the
influence of liquor. They proceeded to
lis Hancock avenue, the next door to
where Kminski's body was found, ana
that there they separated, Brodnig go
ing into the room of a friend. Shortly
after that he says he left for his board
ing place on Spruce street
The coroner deemed Brodnigs story
a fair one. Kminski's neck was broken
and His skull was fractured. He was
quite a heavy man. What puzzles the
police is that a person of his weight
should have fallen down such long
flight of stairs without arousing any of
the inmates of the house.

The Temperature of Planes.

DR.. Hartley has described to the Lon
don Chemical society his experiments
on the temperature of II candle flame,
not only from the melting of gold and of
platinum in the flame, but by an exam
ination of the spectrum to be seen in the
mantle. Experiments made with pla-
tinum wires heated in a batswing gas
flame proved that the carbon does not
lower the melting point of the platinum
that is, not in any appreciable degree !;
a small carbon monoxide flame melts
platinum wire of 1-1OOth inch thickness,
and cyanogen flame was shown to be
intensely hot, for it melted such wire
with extreme ease. These interesting
experiments by DR.. Hartley in measur-
ing the temperature of flames We're car
ried on by means of gold leaf and with
fine wire of platinum 1,3OOth of an inch
in diameter.

the stars and showed the wide expsnse
of the lake, gray with scurrying mist.
We headed our heavily-laden sllifP
straight across to the landing at the
carry, now easily recognizable. Soon

sunk almost to the gunwale; magnifled
by the vnpors, the lake seemed like an

just thcn--was it an optical illusion?
i thought | perceived n tremor agitat
ing the Eody of our victim. Certainly
that hind leg was quivering. Perk, when
his attention was called to the matter,
got the same impression. The leg was
twitchin~; the creature was not dead.
We had heard many extraordinary tales
of wild animals, apparently dead, that
unexpectedly revived, to the dismay of
the hunter. And if our buck should
spring to his feet now-alas for us,
We were panc-stricken. Remember
we were only pair of boys, and our
bark was frail, and the shore appeared
very distant. 1t did seeem foolhardy to
take unnecessary risks; why not keep
on the safe side? So crept down on
the bottom of the skiff, got out my
knife and cut the unhappy victims
throat for the third time, almost sever
ing the head. Even the excited imagina-
tion Of a boy could not put life in him
now. We proceeded with renewed con-
fidence and soon reached the landing,
where, though sadly incumbered with
guns and paddle, we succeeded in
dragging our booty across to the Cat
amount. Reembarking in the clumsy
tub in which we had started the night
before, we soon crossed the pond; and,
suspending our trophy on an oar, bear
ing it on our shoulders after the fashion
of the Israelitish scouts who brought
in that monster bunch of grapes from
the promised land just as the rising
sun had lighted his glorious red bonfire
in the eastern sky, we marched into
camp eXultant. And who will blame
us if we did play the fool little over
our first deer?

the lake, and under my tremulous but
practiced touch the canoe glided like u
phantom toward the spot where he
seemed likely to emerge. He was not
two rods away when | steadied the
boat and Perk turned the full glare of
the light upon him; and he had not
heard sound. What moment was
that! He was standing up to his
launches in the shadows, and had
thrust his nose deep among the lily
pads. He never raised it. Perks we'll
aimed gun belched forth its thunder
Gus blast of fire and shot and the whole
circle of the cove was illuminated as
by a lightning flash. The stricken
creature sunk down without q strug-
gle.
Thus far the oldest hunters in the
woods could not have improved upon
our procedure; but now that the deed
was done the boy broke loose in us, and
we fairly went mad with excitement.
With two frenzied strokes of the pad
dies I drove the boat upon the very
back of our prize.
Give him the other lErrel!" shouted,
as we surged. forward, and Perk blazed
away over the side, with recoil that
almost capsized us.
GIVE him the rifie!" shrieked, "and
make sure"
Perk caught the weapon, but some
trace of sanity had come back to him,
and he refrained. The poor beast was
stone dead, and the second shot had not
touched him. But was still possessed
with the fear that he would suddenly
jump up and run away; and that, after
our success, would be mortifying beyond
endurance. | sprang into the water
much to the alarm of Perk who Judged
tie depth NY the blacSness-caught the
deer by the head, and pulled his neck
across the edge of the boat. Then Peril
crept cautiously down and cut the
throat, after which we managed to heavc
the wet, heavy carcass into the canoe.
1t was young buck, fat as butter; bet
ter luck never attended two young
scapegraces, trespassing on forbidden
waters in stolen boat. 1t seemed to
me, however, that Perk had not done
his job thoroughly; so to make assur-
ance doubly sure, | cut the throat again.
Meanwhile, in the very heat of our
action, the shadowy pail of night had
melted away. The dim but all-per-
yasive light of early dawn had paled
