THEFT IN OXFORD.

A waterbury Woman Charged With
! Law in That Town
| Waterbury, Dec. 20.--In Oxford Yes
| terday Mary A. Clark was bound ever
| to the superior court by Judge II. q.
| Robinson under bonds of $500 for the al
| legged theft of $1,000 from the person CT
her mother-ih-law, Katharine Clark.
Judge Lowe acted as prosecutor The
complainant, Katharine Clark, is about
eighty-three years old and has lived in
Oxford for the past forty years For
nine years she has inhabited small
hut near the town line and some dis
lance from the nearest house. Her son.
James Clark, died in this city a few
years ago, and the defendant in the
present case is his widow.
According to Mrs. Katharine Clark's
story she asked an Oxford woman
named O'Brien to telephone to Water
bury woman named Walker to 60 to
oxford. Instead, word was sent to the
daughter-in-law, Mary A. Clark, who
put in an appearance on Saturday De-
cember 8, and stayed over Sunday With
Mrs. Clark, the elder. A witness in the
case was DR.. Lewis Barnes, who test1-
fled that Mrs. Clark had for some time
been trying to induce him to force Ter
mother-in-law to draw o will in her
favor The property consists of half
acre or more of land and the house,
valued at a few hundred dollars. In
addition there was money in the pank
and possibly the $1,000 which the COM
plainant asserts was stolen.
On Monday, December 10, Mrs. Mary
Clark made flying trip to Waterbury,
but returned in the afternoon. l1er
mother-in-aw, according to the latters
story, was alone in the house. About
her neck was hung a purse containing
81 600 The daughter began to talk again
of the will, but seeing the purse seizGd
it and left the house despite the old wo-
mans entreaties.
This constitutes the evidence in the
case, together with the statement Of or.
Barnes that he heard the elder Mrs.
Clark accuse the younger of the theft
and that his suspicious had been arois-
ed by the fact that the latter since that
day had not mentioned the matter tf d
will.
The arrest was made by Deputy Sher-
iff Hubbell and the case will be tried at
the next term of the superior court in
New Haven.

IN BETHLEHEM 1900 YEARS AGO.
Some nineteen hundred years uRo,
/ In country far away,
Where the waters of the Jordan flow
Along their shining way.
Where the shepherds lead their focks by
And guard them well by night,
And the lambs are taught they must never
stray
Beyond the Shepherds sight.
In that far off land, one beautiful night,
As the shepherds We're watching with care
They heard the voice of an angel bright,
AL sweet on the evening air.
Behold! bring you glad tidings Of joy,
Which shah be to all people on earth,
A saviour has come, which is Christ the
Lord,
And a virgin gave Him birth.
In Bethlehem of Juda the prophets foretold
Should appear this illustrious stranger,
You will find Him there noW wrapped in
sWadling clothes,
And Graded in manger."
When these wonderful words to the shep-
herds were said
st. Luke declares they were sore afraid"
As the angel finished His solo strain
A multitude caught the glad refrain,
GLORY to God in the heighest, again
On earth be peace. good will to men,"
Der Bethlehems plain did the chorus ring
And mortals for once heard the angels sing.
As the song in the distance tioated away,
The shepherds-one to another-dd say
| ITO Bethlehem let US go and see
The things which the shepherds declared to
They came, they saw, they were filed with
joy,
| When they beheld the wonderful boy.
And all their lives long | think they could
sing,
In our hearts we enthrone Thee, our Say
ious King
At that very time, still farther east,
! Were men who were counted wise,
Much of their time, / think, was spent
In studying the skies.
On that very night, when the Saviour was
born,
They were looking both near and far,
When all at once in the western sky
Shone bright and beautiful star.
So Unexpectedly strange was this,
They accept 1t as sign
That Israel's King had come down to earth
On mission all divine.
At once they go in westerly course
The star led them all the way,
Till they stood directly over the place
Where the worlds Redeemer lay.
Thus they. found the child and presented
their gifts,
Myrrh, frankencense and gold,
But how much they gave, or how much they
think has never been told.
And what is this Saviour to you, my friend?
Surrounded with gospel light,
Are you trying to live u life of faith?
Are your future prospects bright?
Let us come as the wise men, and offer our
gift,
Saying, LOru at lny teet 1t lies,
Even broken and contrite heart
Which Thou wilt not despise.
So may we hear the angels sing
And see the Redeemer, too;
Join our glad voices with all the redeemed,
In a song eternally new.
Glory, honor and wisdom, salvation and
power
TO Jesus forever be given,
Who has cleansed US from sin with His
own precious blood,
And hath brought us safe home to heaven
