AGED OBBED.
Person Suspected Of the Robbery Locked
Up by the Police.

Mrs. Jemima Brown, no for a day or
two has made her home with Miss Agnes
B. Barrett, at 100 Richmond street, noti-
fed police officer Robert Connors yesterday
afternoon that she had been robbed of S43.
Mr.. Connors called detective Reardon to
his assistance and the two officers found
that Mrs. Brown had been drinking with
one OF the tenants during the afternoon
TO such an extent that she was quite help
less, and while in this condition one of
the roomers of the HOUSE came into the
room, where Mrs. Brown was, and the
money was taken. Sarah Wright was
charged with stealing the money. Mrs.
Wright and her husband, George, are
roomers in the house and shortly after
the money was missing Mrs. Wright and
an Italian left the house in a hurry. De-
tective Reardou and officer Connors got a
hack, and with Mr.. Wright, who is n
cripple, went in search OF the woman, and
they succeeded In finding her In a house
at Fox Point. She was locked up at the
Central Station.
Mrs. Brown had been in the employ of
Es r. 1ingley OF North Attleboro for
some time, and the money stolen from
her was the savings of a year or more,
and was all she possessed. She is about
20 years old, and does not enjoy the best
of health.

a GOOD EYdMPLL

BY and by the Connecticut legisla-
ture will begin operations and by and
by it will end operations But the by
and by when it will end will probably
be a. long by and by. Of course in a
State so important as Connecticut 1t is
not surprising that legislative ses-
sions are long, but 1T doesn't seem
really necessary that they should be
as long as they are. The legislature
of Vermont has just set a good exam
pie to other legislatures. 1t met on the
7th of October and ended on the 25th of
November. 1t did a large amount of
work, too, and was notable for not
doing several things it was asked to do.
For instance, this year the friends of
prohibition set out to make the pro-
hibftory law more rigorous by amend
ing it so that Illegal liquor-seIling
should always be punished by at least
thirty days Imprisonment and $50
fine. The bill got through the senate,
but was rejected in the house on the
last night of the session by vote of
1874 to 81 Some striking confessions as
to the impotency of the existing law
We're made during the debate. One
speaker said that a certain county null
lifted the whole prohibition law by
simply electing a States attorney and
Sheriff pledged to let it alone. An adj
vocate of the bill admitted that public
sentiment did not sustain the existing
law, under which the court need not
sentence an offender to imprisonment,
and yet argued for its amendment so
that the judge would have no discretion
but to send to Jail for at least thirty
days man who should sell a glass OF
cider. The reply of a representative
from one of the larger towns, that the
bill would necessarily prove a dead let
ter in the places it sought to reach, be-
cause public sentiment would not sus-
tain the milder statute. commended
itself TO the common sense of a major
ity.
If the legislature of Vermont, which

ways denied. The opinion was render
ed in a suit brought by the government
to restrain sheep-herders from tres
passing on the Cascade Forest Reserve,
The sheep-owners claimed that an inn
piled license to pasture on the forest
reserves had grown out of the custom,
which has existed for decades, by which
the public lands have been used as
pastures. But Judge Bellinger drew a
clear distinction between between pub
lie lands and lands that have been sew
cred from the public domain and re-
served for sale or other disposition,
The reservation of forest lands, the
judge said, is it's appropriation to q
special public use, the preservation of
the forests, Pasturing sheep therein
would defeat the object, and the gov
eminent, no less than private party,
is entitled to have it's interests protect
ed against trespass and injury.

THE DINGLEY BILL.

What will be the fate of the Dingley
bill this winter? Perhaps it will have
no definite fate. AS it stands now it is
still on the calendar, having been re-
ported to the senate with the tariff fea-
lures eliminated and free coinage rid
er attached February 4 last. 1t will be
in order to move to take the bill up and
put it upon its passage, or to recommit
either with or without instructions
This bill passed the house December
rs last, and was intended to make tenn
porary provision for meeting the ex-
penses Of the government, it's provis-
ions being limited to August /, 1897.
The first two sections imposed duty
on raw wool equivalent to 30 per cent
of the duties of the Mckinley act, and
a similar duty upon all manufactures
of wool; also a duty of go per cent.
upon lumber and its manufactures.
The last section provides for a horizon
tai advance of Is per cent. on the Will
son law in all it's sections, except wool
and lumber as indicated above, and on
sugar, which was not touched. A pro-
viso stipulated that these additional
duties should in no case increase the
rate Of duty on any article beyond the
rate of the Mckinley act; in such case

be seen that the bill as reported to the

SAUCE EOR TILE GOOSE

Some observers have hastily conclud-
ed that a woman's promise to marry
doesn't mean anything, either in law or
in fact But it may mean something
in fact when she carries it out and it
may even mean something in law when
she doesn't. BY decree of a Massa-
chusetts court recently some valuable
real estate which a young man had
conveyed to young woman, in consid-
Grafton of her promise to marry him,
was restored to the possession of the
donor after the young woman in the
case had refused to live up to the terms
of the contract, and now similar case
has been disposed of by the New
Hampshire courts in a like manner.
This will seem to some like an in
fringement on one of woman's rights.
To others it will seem like sauce for
the goose. If things like these are to be
done women will have to be careful
how they deal with trusting men. 1t is
tough on a woman to give up man
and then have to give up all he has
given her under the influence of gener-
Gus love.

Her Drowning Glory Elaborated

Her Growing Glory Elaborated.
Nowadays the woman who is any
body or has the least ambition to be
mistaken for somebody takes a deal of
pains with her hair. Time was when
she just caught it up or down in a
loose knot, but now the very simplest
hair dressing means time, patience
hair pins and hair dresser or a very
competent maid besides. In the Golf
fure displayed here the front of the hair
is divided from the back by a parting
that passes horizontally over the crown
of the head, leaving in front about a
third of the hair. This front portion is
then divided in three parts; a lock at
each side, and one at the top of the
head. This last is divided again, allow
ing a small lock to the front to be
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1896-11-30

twisted loosely and high right over the
forehead. The rest of the top lock and
all the side locks are crimped closely
to the very ends. All the back hair is
fastened in one at about the center of
the head. 1t is held by a clever device
that spreads to either side in loops of
flat wire. The back loop is then waved
in great waves from as close to the
fastening as the iron can go. Each
wave is fastened down, being held by
the foundation the loops make, and
each wave seems like a complete puff.
The puffs narrow to the nape of the
neck The ends of the front locks are
tucked under the back couture. How
do you like that? And do you think
you could do it?
While hair must be fluffy, the dull
crinkled tangle of a few years ago is
no longer permitted. Hair must be
glossy no matter how fluffy Any lock
must roll softly over the finger and
take a gloss on the turn. Every one
wears the front hair wide at the tenn
pies and back of the ears; that is, all
but those who have adopted the French
dancers method and bind their locks
close over the ears in botticelli fashion.
AS much care is devoted to the back
hair and to the hair at the sides of
and under the coil or back coiffure, as
Is given to the front. The girl who has
thick short hair about to the shoulders
and of nice texture is fortunate. She
can spread it out loosely all around the
coil, and the coil itself can be made
of puffs, rolls and things that are much
easier adjusted when you buy them
than when you try to adjust your own
hair. FLORETTE.
