business man, through counsel asked
to have reduced the amount of the at
tachment which his sister, Miss Mar
garet A. Harding, now OF Leetes Island.
had placed upon his property and bank
deposits in Branford.
The attachment was for $4,000 IN
suit for that amount brought by Miss
Harding to recover for services and re-
suited from the marriage Of Mr. Hard
ing in 1896 after a mutual compact had
been made nearly 80 years ago that
neither would marry, but that each WAS

live for each other.
After the marriage the sister left the
house and refused TO live with the
couple. She then put in a claim for $50
a month wages from the time she was
15 years Of age until the time of the
marriage, a period of 27 years.
The case was not tried out as to it's
merits, but Judge Wheeler decided to

HINTs FOR EAsrER

Clearly the season Of spring OPEN
lngs Is upon us and now does the
Deauty-ioving woman count her daye
as lost unless she attends one OF these
fashionable functions.
The swell milliners NOWADAYS send
out written notes to favored CUSTOM
ers bidding them to a private view,
which ante-dates the regular opening
by several days, thus giving a choice
Few the advantage of selection before
the hoipolloi are admitted
Yesterday at such a private view
some charming concelts IN millinery
were displayed and the average woman
came away with the seed Of envy
planted, If not, indeed, fully developed.
in her heart.
Just of the gray is the shade called
'Mastie" and putty-cOlOr, both Of
which are much in demand In fine
muslins and lawn intended for hot
weather wear. These fine sheer ma
terials exhibit the tucking, now so
fashionable, to great advantage The
gray and fawn linens are oOOl look
ing and yet sufficiently "off" Of white
to be worn in the cars or on the street
where white is out of place.
Violet, so far, in adj its lovely shades,
seems to be the fashionable color,
though many modish hats OF all black
are relieved by a touch OF burnt Grange
or nasturtium red. Flowers OF every
conceivable kind and variety are much
in evidence, from the gorgeous orchid
TO the humble field flowers, beside Z
host Of others which would surely puz.
zle even a Linnaeus to name.
The nose hat is decidedly in the lead
and the chief Characteristic of the
really mOdish chapeau is its shOri
broad appearance. The under brini
trimming in the back is OF far greater
Importance than all the rest OF the hat
put together, and 50 that it is elabor-
ately garnished there, the rest matters
not.
Another creation, this time all vio.

HOW is YOUR SISTER, FRANK p
A TRAGIC STORY OF Elk SENATOR
RANSOMS ABSTRACTED WAY.

Former Minister to Mexico Ransom
was at the House a few days ago talk
ing about his experiences in Mexico.
After the minister left the cloak room
one of the members said:
Did you ever talk to the minister
when his mind has been occupied with
business?" and without waiting for a
reply the member continued: Il did. I
met him soon after his return from
Mexico, and after we shook hands he
said:
How is your sister, Frank
She is WE'LL l said.
THE minister's mind then returned
to some business for five minutes and
then he said
How is your sister, Frank and.
as before, l replied that she was we'll.
Five minutes later he raised his eyes
from some papers and remarked:
Oh, Frank. how is your slster?'
thought the conversation was becoming
rather monOtonous, and to change it /
answered that she was very i'll.
Bless me, you don't say so; / am
sorry to hear it, Frank
He turned to his papers again for
another five minutes, and hang me If he
didn't turn around and say:
Frank, how is your sister?' At frst
thought he was guying me. but, look
ing at him sharply, I realized that he
had forgotten the conversation and l
answered sadly 'She is dead
Why, man, you don't mean it, he
exclaimed, jumping from his seat and
extending his hand In most sympa~
thetic manner, adding That is dread
full When did it happen? Tell me all
about it,
Why, l replied I killed her Just
now. When came in your office I told
you she was well twice; then told you
She was ill,and that didn't impress YOU.
So for your benefit I have Just killed

MURDER OF AN INFANT.

Near Kingston.

Dead Body of n New Born Girl Found
Near Kingston.
KINGSTON, N. Y, March 23.-Not in
years have the inhabitants of West
Hurley. a little hamlet nesting at the
foothills Of the CatslIill mountains. been
so disturbed as they have been by the
news Of the discovery Of the dead body
Of a new born baby girl which was
made late Sunday afternoon by James
Cullen. a hotel keeper, when passing
through the old Lawson swamp. near
here.
Entering an old barn. Cullen found a
bundle which. when unwrapped. dis
closed the naked body OF q perfectly
formed child which had evidently been
choked or smothered to death. Cor
oner Coutant OF Kingston is making an
investigation regarding the death, and
the inquest win be held on Friday
morning. II has been learned that two
females. o0s a slight eipl and the other
q woman. taller and somewhat older,
were seen on Monday evening last com
ing out Of the swamp from the direction
Of the barn.
A peculiar coincidence IS that when
the body was first discovered Il was
wrapped In a fine linen sheet. about
which was wrapped an old copy OF a
New York newspaper which contained
a long account Of the murder OF a
young babe by its mother 1t is sur
missed that the mother of the infant
found on Sunday may have followed the
account spread in the newspaper in
killing her own offspring.

Charged With swindling.
NEW YORK, March 2S.-Many Maid
en- lane diamond dealers We're glad to
hear yesterday afternoon Of the arrest
in Boston of John Donaldson, a young
broker. who left this city in January,
1885, after having obtained more than
$4,000 worth of diamonds from various
dealers. The young man. who was but
2I years of age and the son of a min
ister, had married a handsome young
woman In Brooklyn but two weeks be-
fore he absconded. He had been arrans-
ing for the marriage while continuing
his peculatOns.
Donaldson was a clerk in his fathers
employ in the wood engraving business
in Maiden lane. He became ambitious
and started an office on Broadway. He
was trusted by every one with whom he
had dealings, and he received large con-
signments Of diamonds on memoran-
dun, which he sold on commission.
In the beginning of 1895 he secured all
the diamonds he could from many firms
without exciting suspicion and then
pawned the entire lot.
Cooper & Forman, Ludwig, Nissen &
Co., A. S. Gardner & Co., ]. B. Bowden
& Co.. Smith & Knapp, f. Kallender,
Max Freund & Co. and John w. Blom

son is the theft OF 1900 worth OF dia-
monds from Cooper & Forman.

Speech on the National
Quarantine Bill.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The mill
tary anairs committee Of the house has
completed consideration Of the army
reorganization bill and ordered favor
able report upon 1t. AS agreed upon
only few changes were made.
The section authorizing the president
to recruit the skeleton regiments "in
time of war; was changed so as to
make it more specific, limiting such au-
thorization to a time of actual hostili-
ties, after a declaration of war has
been made
An additional section was added as q
precaution providing that nothing in
the act should be construed as an au-
thorization to increase the enlisted force
Of the army in time OF peace.
Section 3, empowering the president
to authorize each regiment to draw its
recruits from such state OF states as he
might designate was amended so as to
provide that each state should be enti-
tied 20 furnish It's quota before recruits
should be drawn from designated
states.
Chairman Hull OF the military affairs
committee viii secure action upon the
bill at the earliest possible moment. 1t
may require a special rule 20 get the bill
before the house.
A feature Of the senate proceedings
was an extended speech by Mr.. Caffery
Of Louisiana in support OF the pending
national quarantine bill. He pronounced
as utterly inefficient and powerless the
present systems Of state quarantine to
cope with epidemics Of yellow fever and
cholera to which this country IS liable.
He declared that a uniformity In the
laws and a Capitalization Of authority
We're the only means at hand properly
to meet the dreaded invasion OF conta-
gious or infectious diseases into this
country. Mr.. Carter of Montana began
a speech in support of the bill to pro-
vide-a civil government for the District
of Alaska, but had not concluded when
the morning hour expired.

A Historic Wreck.

"In the harbor of Santiago do Cuba, !" says Maturin NJ. Ballou in Due South, "a sunken wreck is pointed out, par tially visible at low tide, not far from the shore. Only the ribs and stanchions are still held together by the stout keel timbers and lower sheathing. This wreck has lain here unheeded for years, yet what story these old timbers might tell had they only a tongue with which to give voice to their experience literally the experience of ages.
