rs A BRAVE WOMAN.
Mrs. Fowler Praised for Work at North
Hammock.

HummOcK.
Mrs. J. T. Fowler wife of the keeper
of the lighthouse and fog bell on North
Island, came to New London, Thursday
morning, and took train for Noank,
where she Will visit relatives. Mrs
Fowler was seen by q Day reporter
and talked modestly Of her experiences
at the lighthouse.
In November, during a dense fog,
Captain Fowler went over to Noank and
was fog bound there. Mrs. Fowler,
who attends to the light in his absence,
was left entirely alone. Whenever
there is fog the fog bell in building
near the lighthouse rings by machinery
Mrs. Fowler set the machinery going on
this occasion but soon discovered that
it was out of order and would not ring
the bell.
Knowing the Importance of this
warning to mariners in that perilous
place, Mrs. Fowler set about to remedy
the matter. She procured ladders and
climbed up into the belfry tower, at
tached q rope to the bell and then clam
bered down. Standing on the ground
in the damp and chill of November
day. this hardy woman pulled the bell
rope for two hours and kept the warn
ing signal going.
A few days ago, Mrs Fowler received
two letters from high officials in the
lighthouse service department at Wash
ington complimenting her upon the
pluck she displayed and speaking in
high terms Of her services. Naturally
she is very we'll pleased at the receipt
of these testimonials.

MANUAL TRAINING WORK


Begins in Hartfords Schools To-Day.
The manual training work at the
Hartford Public High school will begin
when the school opens after the holt
day vacation to-day, January 8, and 294
pupils will take optional work in the
manual training course. The Hartford
Comant says:
THE building in which the manual
training work is to be carried on is not
yet completed and only wood working,
cooking, sewing and constructive draw
ing will be opened before the end of
the school year, but it is unlikely that
the machine shop and the other de-
partments of the manual work will be
opened before next fall.
Charles B. Howe, late of the Bing-
hamton Manual Training school, will
have full charge of the work here.
Frank j. Preston, formerly of the man
ual training school at Springfield, will
be instructor in the constructive draw
irg and wood working departments, and
Miss Margaret 7. Hedden, formerly of
the Binghamton school, will have charge
of the cooking and sewing
Before the fourth class, the class
which went in last fall, entered the high
school, Principal Smiley sent to the
parents Of the pupils of the entering
class a circular to know which course
they desired to have their children take.
1t was announced that members of the
ole NH t1A f11lI
ual training course if they desired but
very few selected that course They
preferred the English and the classical
courses and only those taking the latter
courses who are proficient in their
studies and can take periods in the
manual work without hindering them in
their regular courses will be allowed to
do so. The standing which scholars
must have in their regular course be-
fore they will be permitted to take the
manual training studies has not been
fixed by Principal Smiley
Tie majority of those who have de-
cided to take optional work in manual
training are girls, The boys will not
much exceed fifty. One hundred and
twelve scholars will take LESSONS in
cooking, IA in sewing, Al in wood work
ing and 81 in constructive drawing. The
sewing and cooking classes will be made
up of about twenty in each class. The
instruction In wood working will take
UP two periods Of 45 minutes each, or
so minutes every weak. The sewing will
occupy two periods of IS minutes each
twice a week. The Woodworking class
es will receive Instruction Of five periods
of As minutes each, weekly, and the
class in drawing will have two periods
Of As minutes' instruction each week.
The rooms to be occupied by the de-
partments which begin work are not
yet fully equipped, but they win be be-
fore January 8. The wood turning de-
partment is on the first fioor. Tie WOOD
carving room is on the second floor and
the sewing room and cooking rooms
are on the second floor. The rooms are
all well lighted.
Work is progressing on the addition
to the high school, but not as rapidly as
might be expected. 1t is hoped that
the addition will be completed in time
for the celebration in June.

CONNECTICUT INDUSTRIES

For some time negotiations have been
in progress for the acquisition of the
mill of the Norwich Wooden company at
Norwich Town, which negotiations were
concluded on Wednesday, The COM
pany which has assumed control of the
plant is called the Otrobando Wooden
company. 1t has cash capital for the
present of 100000. The manufactures
of the company are various styles of
wooden fabrics. The principal parties in
the deal are Thomas j. Maxwell of
Meriden and Willard H. Faunce of
Camden, Me. Both are men of ability
and great experience, having been en-
gagged for years as superintendent of
different mills. They are to give their
personal attention to the business in

On arrival at Seattle, Nash found
thousands of gold seekers on the anx-
ious seat, awaiting the coming of spring
and favorable weather that they might
reach the Eldorado. There is but little
opportunity for man to procure work
in Seattle, owing to the fact that for
every position there are perhaps a hun
bred applicants. When he ascertained
these facts, Nash investigated and
finally located the Washington Shellfish
commissioner, to whom he applied Tor
position, with the result that he is now
an attache of the official staff of the
state of Washington, and it is said that
in all probability he will remain there
until 99, as the state authorities are de-
sirous of retaining him.

WEDDING PRESENTS BELONG TO
THE WIFE,

A novel decision was made by Judge
Carroll in the city court in Bridgeport
recently which, however, has custom, if
not law, back of it. 1t was in the case
of John Horribly, who had separated
from his wife. Horribly is paying her
IS week, and that part of the arrange
ment is satisfactory to both sides But
he claimed a lot of household furniture,
and the wife rebelled. She said it was
given to her as a wedding gift. Judge
Carroll said that it was always consid-
cred that the wedding presents be
longed to the wife. He was of the opin-
ion that Mrs. Horribly ought to have the
things she asked for,

The annual sale of articles made by
the convicts at the state prison is now
going on at the prison and the tables

and such things. In an ordinary pint
bottle convict named Shirley has put
a miniature sawbuck, saw and axe and
a small barrel, on the top of which is

HOW YELLOw-FEyER CAME.
brought Into Our Army by Santiago
Refugees.

CHICAGO. July 29.-The first definite
statement was made to-day as to how
yellow-fever was brought into the ranks
Of tbs American army in Cuba Mr.. NJ.
l.. Beach, who represented the Associated
Press along the fighting line at Santiago,
and who has just returned to Chicago,
makes a statement as follows:
at is an actual fact-something l saw
with my own eyes-that our army ambu-
lance were used TO carry Cuban refugees
who had fed from Santiago. and who
were carrying the germs Of the dread
fever with them. The people waded
through the mud and were picked up by
the ambulances. Then our sick and
wounded were hauled in the same ambu-
lances. But worst of all, it seems to me,
is the fact that the commissary wagons,
which always were going to Siboney and
back, carrying food. went out with food,
returned loaded with refugees, and went
back, again loaded with food No yellow
fever appeared a in the army before the lines
were opened to these people from San
tiago and DR.. Rucker, of Chicago, Who
was with the correspondents two days
before fever appeared, said that il must
come in twenty-four hours. lie also told
Major Pope. the surgeon, but the latter
said he could do nothing to avoid It,"

deserved applause fallen than to Miss

steal comedy. They were easily tho top
liners again last night with another large
audience. They, together with tho other
artists with which they are this week
grouped, will be seen for the last time to-
night at the usual hour. Musical comedy
was not the only taking feature last

plause for Miss Dorothy Drew when she

for Miss Marie Richmond; for Post and
Clinton, In their eccentric comedy, and
for Cooper and Stewart in their funny

fined, is having a phenomenal run.

JUSTICE TO THE SOLDIERS.
Two Important Orders by the War
Department.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Two orders
which are of Importance to the sick and
wounded troops and their friends. One
authorizes men who have been f~urloughed
from hospitals to report to the
nearest government post instead Of be-
Ing compelled TO report to the hospital
from which they were furloughed. This
will allow the soldiers to be transported
from the nearest post to their regiments
at the expense of the government. Be-
fore this order was issued a soldier on
furlough from a hospital could not go
home without being compelled to pay
his fare back to the hospital. This will
apply to men from the regular army as
we'll az to volunteers.
Another order allows q furloughed
man, who has not been paid on account
Of his regiment being In Cuba, TO go
TO the nearest quartermaster and obtain
from him transportation 10 his home,
and the cost is charged against him
through the pay department of the army.
Many wounded soldiers from Cuba have
been unabie to get pay on account OF
the ABSENCE OF their regiments, ana
when their %furloughs were obtained
could not 60 home because they had no
money. AS some Of them nave not been
paid for two or three months, they can
not take advantage Of the furloughs that
been granted them and go to their
homes.
These two orders will allow soldiers
on furlough TO 90 home and return with
the difficulties they have heretofore
experienced.

THE FEELING IN MADRID.

Anything beyond Cession OF Cubs
Harsh-Toraps Army for Philippines.
LONDON, July 3.-A special dispatch
from Madrid says,
Though 1t is not likely that the gov
rDment will decide TO prolong the war
because OF Porto Rico, considerable feel
ing is manifested and every possible
diplomatic effort will be made to retain 1t.
Apparently. there Ia little objection to
ceding a coaling station in the Philip
pines, provided Spanish sovereignty is ie-
spected in the island, which. In the opin-
ion OF government and oflcial circles
generally, will AFFORD compensation in
for the loss of the Antilles. be-
sides procuring occupation for the West
Indian army in re-establishing Spanish
rule.
1.-THE American reply Is still ~anxiously
awaited. Judging from press opinions,
anything beyond the cession OF Cuba will
be considered harsh and unjust. This
is the unanimous feeling among even the
strongest advocates of peace. The peo-
pie are beginning TO realize that peace
will mean almost a total loss Of Colonies.
and looking TO the delicate and difficult
position of the Queen Regent, great care
Is still necessary to induce the nation TO
accept the terms.
CARLISTS AND REPUBLICANS AC-
TIVE.
THE Carhst and Republican papers are
making the most Of the situation, while
many of the Catholic prelates decline to
comply with orders from the Vatican TO
censure the Carlist agitation. Ell I'm
parciars Rome correspondent says the
Pope is so displeased with this attitude
Of the priests that he has washed his
hands Of the whole AFFAIR.
According to FL Liberal, the govern
ment would not allow even the loss OF
some Of the Philippines to hinder the con-
olusion OF peace, because 1t is very doubt
full whether the country would endorse
sending an army Of 10000 men to crush
the rebellion. One of the leading Car
lists here denies the reports Of dissension.
"El Heraldo publishes a warning as TO
the necessity for closely watching the
Carlists as peace approaches. 1t is esti,
mated that there are @,0o0 persons out
OF employment In Catalonia"

SANTIAGO CITY PRISON.
Conditions Discovered Equal to
Those of the Basti1e.

SANTIAGO, via HAITI. July 20
Through the courtesy Of Colonel Gros-
beck, judgc-advocate. your correspondent
was allowed to accompany the commits
sion on it's visit to the city prison, where
IL went in continuation of the work OF
examining the records of sentences of
prisoners confined there.
The investigation shed a strong light
upon the peculiar methods of Spanish JUS
tice. The conditions discovered were COM
parable only TO those Of the Bastle.
Men and women were herded together
here. Some. guilty only Of q petty crime.
such as speaking unexpectedly of the
government. had been kept a year with
out trial. Records of the charges against
them had In many cases been lost; wit
nesses were dead, but the prisoners were
detained, though unsentenced. Even the
Jail officials were in many cases ignorant
of the charge against their prisoners. Pri-
soners, forgotten by justice, languished
there for years.
Thomas I~ngnando. a native - Habana,
was arrested near the end Of 1892, charged
with bigamy. Hs never was tried. and Is
still In prison. Jose Bastona, imprisoned
on July 8. 1892. was not tried until the
end of 1894. Jose Silvera, arrested for
petty theft, was sentenced for four years;
on being removed from the dock ne got
into a struggle with the policeman, and
was sentenced TO an additional four years;
on the day of his release ne was unjustly
sentenced again, so that he was sentenced
TO a total OF fourteen years imprison-
ment for a crime the minimum penalty
for which was six months. He is still In
jail.
The majority Of the prisoners will be
liberated. Some were found who have
actually served more than the allotted
periods; in other cases habitual criminals
were retained as soldiers, or sent TO
Spain.
