Six Cents a Week.

The election of Mr.. Mckinley was the
occasion of the most rapid and wide
spread business revival ever known in
this country. There is certainty that
good times will prevail and that people
will earn money and have money to
spend. The Independent, of New York,
was foremost in upholding the principles
for which Mr.. Mckinley stands, and re-
joces in the better outlook for every
man, woman and child in the country.
For iorty-nine years The independent
has held the first position among the
great religious, literary and family week
lies of this country, and it proposes to
fill that position in the future. 1t has
adopted several new, interesting and i'm
portant features, two of which are The
Survey of the World,' which gives in
concise form all of the important events
thai have happened in the world during
the week. and Work Indoors and Out, !"
which tells men, women, boys and girls
how to earn money in variety of ways.
In general the paper is particularly fitted
for professional men. business men, mer-
chants, farmers and fami les. 1t costs
but six cents a week-$3 90 a year-or
at that rate for any part OF year. A
specimen copy will be sent to any person

Results of the Kindergarteu.

The results Of kindergarten education
in the older kindergarlens in this country
have been noble harvests from good
seed. 1t has been stated on authority
that out of 10000 children of the toiline
classes, who received kindergarten edu-
cation in one of our largest cities many
years ago, only one has been arrested,
and that he was discharged This is the
education OF the whole mass that edu.

Any one who has means and the time
can go on mission of humanity in this
way 1t offers an open door where the
need is the greatest, and the influence the
longest and the most evolutionary.
Every street in America where there are
iriendless children needs kindergarten
school to offer such little ones sympathy,
protection, home, and to bring security
to society.
The old nations which are surprising
the world by new progress, as Japan,
Mexico, and several Of the South Amer-
can republics, are accepting the TACT that

Helen kellar.

Helen Kellar, the deaf, dumb and blind
girl, has added to her other achievements
that of riding a bicycle through the
streets of Cambridge. 1t is, to be sure, a
tandem" and her companion has done
the steering, but, as showing the posi-
bilty of new pleasure for the blind, this
latest triumph of the famous mute is re-
garded as an important as well as an
interesting one.

Schooner Clara Post Ashore.

Bridgeport, Feb 6-The two-masted schooner Clara Post, Captain McDon- aid, went ashore on Seaside park this noon. She is the vessel previously re- ported as having foundered outside, identity unknown. Captain Mcdonald this afternoon stated that he Was bound to New York, light, for cargo, and that he left the mouth of New Haven hafbor this morning thinking he could go west ward all right. He said that once clear of the brehkwater he never saw such tremendous seas in Long Island sound in his life. They made a clean breach over the schooner, which is about 120 feet long, and even though light, she was at the mercy of the clements. She rolled heavily in the sea and was almost unmanageable. When off Point No Point her main weather shroud parted and in an instant her main mast had gone by the board. The schooner was then carrying a double reefed mainsail With the peak stacked down. A small jib was also set forward to help the schooner steer. When the mast went overheard it was evident that the schooner would be lost, and that the lives of Captain Mcdonald and his crew were in imminent danger. The other two men on board and himself worked heroically to cut away the lee shrouds from the mainmast and clear the wreck ed rigging from the laundering schoon- CT. The spring stay had parted and left no support to the foremast except the shrouds at the side. The mainsail and mainmaEt had been cut adrifS but a moment when the schooner, frightened by her load aft. the extra weight of her foremast and wiud-flled jib in the bow, made dive beneath a tremendous sea. She came up only to quiver and shake her fofenast overheard.

q noise of thunder for half mile in- shore It is the highest since the mem- orahle gale of August 2S, 1894, The wind Is from the east-southeast. and the eap> tain Of the life saving station esti- mated its velocity in the squalls from so to 100 miles an hour. At high tide the spray flew across Watch Hill PoiHt where the life saving station is located, and swept the point where the light house stands, It dashed against the building In sheets. The life saving crew have patroled the beach all day, an indomitable task, One tramp steam CT was sighted, bound westward. No other vessels were seen, but it has been thick off-shore. and but little could be distinguished Sheds and small build- ings have been blown over at Watch Hill, and several of the winter shutters broken.

the building in a few weeks, He real lZed that it was dangerous as less than week ago 1t swayed in storm, Had it nos taken so long to pull the north Wall down against the breeze all three might have been rescued, The wall swayed like the branch Of tree in the storm, and 1t was dangerous work for the llremen to put the ropes around the wall,
 The building, which was a four story brick, 125X50 feet, was owned by the w. II, Johnson Manufacturing company, The upper floors were vacant but the first floor was rented to Qulgley. who used it as a cooperage shop.
 Quigley usually had 10 men at work in his shop, but this morning there was only himself and three others.
 Daniel Meehan the man who escaped vixen the building fell, said that he was near the exit on the ferry side at the t.me and ran out when he heard the noise of the fltst breaking. He was struck by timbers, but only slightly cut on one hand and on his lip. The other three men were at the other side of the shop and could not get out in time.
 The building seemed to give way in the center. and the whole south side was totally wrecked. The building had been shaking in the wind for some time. and it is supposed the center of the roof gave way,
 James Quigley, the owner of the coop- craze shop, who was one of the men buried in the ruins of the building, was a married man and had family. Sea- man was also 9 married man.

In Danbury.

Danbury, Feb 6.-The Danbury and Bethel trolley line of cars had to sus- pend operations at , o'clock this after noon. The water rose so high in the power house that it extinguished the fires under the boilers, and made the generating of steam impossible.
 The employees of Meeker Brothers hat factory found themselves in a pe- culiar predicament tonight. When they attempted to leave the building they found the water had risen until it completely surrounded the factory and cut off all means of exit, They were in quandary for two hours, and finally had to construct rafts in order to es- cape from their position. The heavy rains of last night and to-day, together with the melted snow, had transformed Still river into a roaring torrent, and the banks are overf1owed for a consider able distance. No damage has been re- ported otherwise

as he was, he did well to beach his ves- sel in the sand off Seaside park, where the seas have pounded her to-day to total wreck, The broken bowsprit and foremast were still alongside when he beaehed her. humping holes in her side with each violent sea Captain Mepon- old is the sole owner of the schooner, and 1t is all the property he has in the world, It is valued at about $S,O0O.
 The captain of one of the harbor tow boats said tonight that no coal barges had sunk off Bridgeport to-day, accord ing to report which has been circu- lated, With the exception of the dam age caused by the wreck of the Clara Post, the furious storm has created nothing but an excessive high tide here. At 5 o'clock tonight the water in the harbor was three feet higher than the ordinary perigee high tides.

Oyel fl wed the Banks.

Terryville, Feb. 6.--The most disast- rous flood ever known here was ex- perienced here to-day. The Pequabuck river has overfiowed it's high banks and at the Shear factory's pond all trance of the dam is lost. The water is as high on the lower as on the upper side of it. Baldwin pond has been transformed into lake covering thirty acres and a stream of water 200 feet wide makes all traffic for pedestrians impossible. A portion of the dam of the Eagle Lock company has been carried away. Two dams east of here are reported to have been washed away and there have been no mails since noon over the New Eng land road The iron foot bridge across the Pequahuck river is gone, and trees have been uprooted in large numbers. A pickling platform of the Eagle Lock company has also been washed away.

Enildiny Washed Away.

New Milford, Feb. 6-The dye house of the New Milford Hat company was washed away by the flood which struck this town this afternoon. The building was a two story structure and stood on the banks of Butler brook. It was car ried 6own the stream and broken to pieces by the violence of the current pouring into the Housatonie river. The building was worth about $3,000. The West street bridge has been washed away and cellars along that street are flooded All railroad traffic has been suspended. There have been no incom- ing trains from the north for five hours. This is due to the washing out of a cufvert some miles above here.

Housatonic Rising.

Derby, Feb. 6.--The Naugatuck and Housatonic rivers have both risen many feet during the past twenty-four hours as a result of the freshet. The Housa- tonic is three feet above the usual high water mark, and still rising. The ice above the dam has all broken up, and f1oated down stream. Cellars of build- irgs along both rivers are flooded, and the damage to merchandise it is be- lieved will be heavy. The Derby Elec- trio Light company were forced to aban- don their turbines tonight and use steam power. The fire alarm is crip- pied owing to the breaking of wires, and communication with outside places by wire is seriously impeded.

Coltages Suffered.

Greenwich, Feb, 6.-The big storm of to-day has left it's marks along shore of Cos Cob All the cottages at Belle Haven have suffered from the blasts, Vines and trellises covered for the winter have been blown down, and in some cases destroyed. Several bath ing houses have been toppled over at the beach, but can be readily righted after the sand has been dug out of them. The tide rose over the tops of Green wich docks tonight and inundated the old Ferguson hotel and steamboat building. Two little sloops were blown up in the marshes, where they landed unharmed
