The now noticeable tick -tck-tick of the box put speed into his movements, and in less time than it takes to tell 1t, he was in the outer office and upon the point of turning in general alarm to ponce headquarters, when his eyes agaln wan dered in the direction of the man With the box. This time both were enveloped in mellow light, the marine painting had disappeared, and in It's place stood out in bold letters the words queen Quality" shoes, the name of the article which had made MT. Plant and his as- sociates famous by their manufacture.
 Tn an instant the sign changed and in it's place appeared a simile Of the lat- est pattern of that popular $3.OO ladies' shoe. After a moments pause this changed places with another announce ment calling attention to the quality, style, and fit of the article, which also vanished to make way for the 1ngenlus mechanical device of spelling out the words Queen Q-u-a-l-i-t-y. This completed, the programme repeated it. self time and again. much to the amaze ment, surprise and delight of MT. Plant and his employees, who had by this time gathered around to "see the fun"

AN ELECTRICAL WONDER.
Its First Appearance in New Haven
 Tuesday Night.

Its First Appearance in New Haven Tuesday Night.
 Some two years ago poor struggling day laborer in the Westinghouse Elec- tric company's plant, at Pittsburg, conceived the idea of constructing a mystic box containing an assortment of dynamos, motors and numerous other mysterious contrivances, which were put together on the automatic clock principle. This with a heavy ground glass front, and couple of wires, com- pleted the work.
 With the aid of an artist, the ground glass was improved by a transparent marine painting, showing sailing craft in the foreground, and the augury waves surrounding it.
 Much after tho fashion of Keller, the magcian the inventor found his way to Boston and sent his card to the head of the firm of Thomas q. Plant & Co. He stated that he desired to see MT. Plant on new method of advertising.
 Being ushered into that gentleman's private office, the Pittsburg genius pro- ceeded to remove the black cloth in which this mysterious box was wrap ped The inventor did not present a very amiable appearance, dressed as he was in his working clothes. and being a man of few words, he naturally rre- scented q suspicious aspect, especially as. at that time the dynamite plot to kill Russell Sage occupied considerable space in the daily newspapers,

HoLY CROSS DEFEATED YALE.
T to Was the Score In Yesterdays Gnme.

 With the game practically hers, Yale was defeated in the last inning yester. day afternoon in one of the sharpest games played thus far this season. Happy in the conviction that Yale had placed another victory to her credit, a large portion of the big crowd which witnessed the game left the field at the end of the seventh inning. The score was then to in Yale's favor. Robert son in the box was pitching a good game and the visitors seemed puzzled in pick ing the balls out.
 In the last of the eighth inning, how ever, a change took place. Holy Cross took a perceptible brace and seemed to find no difficulty in meeting Robertsons s twirls. With three men on bases Fox of the visitors then stepped up to the bat and smashed out three-bagger, bringing in three runs. This made the score even--6-6. A timely single was all that was now needed and this was fur nished in good shape by Kearney, bring ing Fox home for the winning run.

At 12:3O, after having been out for | over eight hours, Judge Elmer ordered the jury in the Anderson murder case, | to come into court. They came in | shortly after and were indeed jaded | looking lot of men. Some of them had removed their neckwear, and they ap- peared as if ready to remain out all
 night. The foreman, George l.. Batch elor, was asked if they had arrived at verdict, and he said they had not. He was then asked if their was any
 hope of their doing so. Upon being in- formed in the affirmative the judge
 read the dctum of the supreme court
 as found in the case of the state versus
 Smith In the 49th Connecticut, with ref
 erence to the finding of a verdict. He said that due regard should be given to the opinion of each other and that it was important that a verdict be found. In conclusion the judge said that he would give the jury another opportuni- ty to consider the matter as they had stated that there was hope of their ar irving at some conclusion. They were again placed in the jury room at 12:35. At 6 o'clock the jury Were taken to supper and about o'clock rapped, but only asked for some ice water. These were the only incidents of their long consultation. Quite a large number of those persons who have been regular attendants at the trial remained in the court room all evening.
 At 10 o'clock in the morning senior counsel for the accused, Prentice w. Chase, began his argument and talked for two hours. It was an able and com prehensive statement of the defense and especial stress was laid on the probabil- ity of Anderson having committed sui eide or else having taken white arsenic in the cellar of the Bristol drug store by mistake for epsom salts.

DARTMOUTH DEFEATS HARVARD

DARTMOUTH DEFEATS HARVARD.
 Cambridge, Mass, April 26.-Dart- mouth defeated Harvard at baseball to- day to 5, The game was an exciting one, as Dartmouth's good lead, which re- suited from four successive hits off Fitz in the fifth, was wiped out by similar slaughter of Cooks delivery by liar ward in the sixth. With an even score of five runs Harvard's fie]ders went to to pieces in the seventh and two runs came in, while Harvard went out in one, two, three order in her remaining in- nings. As a whole Harvard played a Wretched fielding exhibition. Dart mouths outfield made some good run ming catches which, with the double play that ended the game, were the only plays deserving mention.

King, was born Jan. %, 1880. Died
April 90, 1899, at 8 p. M, being at tie
time of his death, nine years and three
monts old. He was taken sick March
8, and lived nine weeksand three days
suffering untold agony with infian.a-
ton of brain.
He bore his sufferings with as much
patience as one of his years could. He
told his mamma the first might of his
sickness that he was going to die, and
all that his friends could do, with the
aid of DR.. Griswold, the family physi-
clan, aided by Brs. Vincent and Cole,
of Peldleton, to stay the dread dis

the empty chair, the silent room,
his toys and pets all say too plainly
that Lester is gone. Twice during his
illness he tried to sing:
"Jesus, lover OF my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly,
While the nearer pillows roll,
While the tempest still is high"

To send back the death Angel
