EIGHT IN 4 SHANTY.
Humane Society Finds Case of Desti.
 tuition in Bethany.

A very bad case of misery and deeradation has been brought to light in Bvthany by an officer of the Con- necticut Humane society. The officer found that about q mile and q half from the highway was a wood chop per's shanty, about 12X9 feet. the only hahitat.on in that neighborhood. It was mad, of rough boards and on the inside it was just high enough for a person to stand. There were two board hunks on one side of the shan ty, stove on the other side. and the rest Of the furniture was a small table and 4ttee. In the place were found three women and five illegitimate chl- dren. One of the women. Lulu HOtch- kiss, unmarried 26 years old. was ly- ing on one of the hunks sick with ty phoid fever. The place was cold and the sick woman lay in her clothes and with only light covering. Straw in the bunk served as bed. The Hotch- kiss woman hHs four children. a girl of years. boy younger than that and twins. who are months old. She has been sick now about five weeks and has been attended by the town physician. The other woman is Eva Welton. unmarried. 24 years old, who has a daughter years old. The third NOll1au "HS tHC llOt1lt1 o1 o1lHS AAoA-A- kiss, who was there to nurse her daughter.
 The Hotchkiss children slept in the same bunk with their S ok mother and the other three slept in the remaining bunk As all had been eating and drinking out of the same source, 1t seems strange how the others could es- cape contra ct!ng the contagious dis ease wh. oh the HOtchkiss woman has. One of tue WOm tod the Humane society's officer that once in a while they got a little money from the ather of the Hotchkiss twins, and with the money that the Welton woman man. aged to earn in working about the town they got along the best they could Tn re was a New Haven lT- ervman with the society's officer who wanted to take tn Welton child With hm and bring Il r up IS h.s own child. but the mother refused.

DETECTIVES STILL ACTIVE.
Tried to Buy Whiskey Last Sunday
 for Sick Parents.

A rumor is current throughout the northern part of the city that last Sun day agents of the Law and Order league, or some private detective agen- cy, tried to obtain drink at the saloons. The bartender at one pace, according to common report, was washing out the premises when one of the detec- tives accosled him. The stranger pleaded for a drink as if his heart would break. His parents were sick at home with the grip, he said, and no medicine on earth would do them the good that just one little drink of Whlskey from that saloon would do The mans father, he said, was accus- toned to buy his drink at that place.
 but, slngularly enough, the bartender could not recall his name nor his face. ard so the caller had his call in vain
 His tour was fruitless. During the trial of the last batch of violators of the liquor law, Bedell. one of the spies, was asked by Attorney Russell for the defense, if he had ever sold books in this city. That question was prompt ed by q liquor dealer who asserts he has evidence to prove that Bedell did sell books here last summer, though he said he did not. The liquor dealer has seen Bedell on the witness stand few times and is certain that the latter sold him book, written by doctor In New Haven. After selling the book, the stranger hung around the
 bar room, asking the proprietor Ques
 tions which then had no significance, but now appear very important.
 There is real funny story afloat regarding these private detectives, Be dell and Adams. A certain druggist , who has paid his fine. was positive that neither of the detectives was ever in his store, Sunday, or any other day. He would stack any sum on this opin- ion and that was the reason why he pleaded not guilty. Bedel, however, had not got very far with his descrip- ton of the interior of the drug store, and the place where the bottle" was kept, when the accused nudged his at torney and whispered to him: For Gods sake, don't let him go any fur ther; he's been there all right

 Since the question arose at the meeting of the board of aldermen the other evening of widening Riverside street and of making beautiful drive way out Of it, and also of changing the name of the street, the people in this section have been speculating as 10 what would be a suitable name for the street and what name will be final. Y selected for il. The opinions of the people are or a varied nature. Many think that the name should remain un- changed, while others think that Riv- erslde Drive or Riverside Boulevard would be appropriate. Alderman Ma nancy suggested these names at the meeting of the board the ether even- ing, but they didn't meet with great favor on the part of some of the other members. The Speedway was also mentioned as an appropriate cogDomen but several objections were proposed to this name. First the drive will be entirely too short to possess such q name, and besides it would not appear fitting, inasmuch as there are two cem- eteries on the street. These are objec- tions interposed, not by the Brook lyn correspondent of the Democat, but Dy persons with whom he has been dis cussing the matter.

Mrs Nation Says the Women Will Be
 Nigilant.

Topeka, Feb 7.-Topeka "joints' were closed yesterday, aside from few side doors, and the keepers have promised the city and county officials that they will get rid of their stock of liquors. Chief of Police Stahl and Sheriff Cook had gone from place to place last night warning the keepers that they must close their places and keep them closed and all gave their word that they would sell no more u- quor When Mrs >at1on heard the news she showed little sign of emo ton and said: Il think they are shut up for good. They never will open again ii the women continue to be vigilant 1 will remain in Topeka until l am sure that l have kept the promise I made last week that l would stay until every joint is closed. Then l will go elsewhere While the otii- cials were making the rounds of the ''jo.nts'' last night Mrs Nation and her followers were holding a secret meet ing in the Congregational church. The fact was known to the joint keepers, and the belief that another raid was being planned apparently had weight in their determination to close. Mrs Nation yesterday received a request from q Webb City. Mo, theater man. ager to hold series of lectures in his place. She made a characteristic re- ply: Thank you for your interest, but I must stay in Kansas. l could not consistently speak in theater open on Sunday night Anyway, must be about my Masters business

Higher Wages For
 Everybody

It is true that this country is grow Ing rich very rapidly. But it IS aiso u lue that 1t is only getting rich in certain spots. 4 fertilizer IS no us' if left in one spot; it must be scattered business concerns which are making money very fast and they are paylng as small wages as other concerns whose competition is so great that they are making no money and can- not afOrd to pay good wages.
 It seems to US that If concerns that are making good money would be more liberal in paying good wages the prosperity of the people would be more general. It is upon the peo- pie that are getting good wages that the prosperity of the merchants de. bends and this would be a good sub ject for the Merchants Association all over the country to take up. If the philanthropistS of this country would increase their pay rolls it would be the best religion they could practice. Big profits and small wages has brought hell on earth instead of Heaven. Everything points to q pros porous year, It Is always a good sign to see the Furniture business start with 9 strong demand for Parlor Suits. This is what it has done and We have a ma %1Atcent line from S2O up. Our complete stock Of House Furnishings should be seen by every economical purchaser and we have courteous and ohliging salesmen who will take delight in showing you. Our liberal terms will make the buying easy for you.

A NEEDED REFORM.

Or. Patterson, Superintendent for
the Hospital for Mental Diseases, ap-
peared before the House on Tuesday.
and made a short talk in favor of
ans nding the law relating to the COM
mi,,ng of insane persons to the
Asylum.
He said that there were some
twenty or more people at the Asylum,
VIII, had no more business being
there and who had been sent up from
various counties to save the expense
of maintaining them at the poo:
house.
They were generally committed by
the County Clerk in the absence of
the District Judge, and when they
reached the Asylum were, according
to the commitment papers, evidently
insane" Sometimes they were merely
getting over a long spree ard when
sobered up were as rational as any
one.
The doctor cited case where the
sheriff brought in patient commit
ted as insane, who was merely drunk
when he started. and when he had
reached the Asylum had sobered up
while the sheriff who brought him in
had become drunk and was the less
rational of the two.
the two coming to the Asylum. The
doctor tvld the patient he was not a
subject for the Asylum and advised
him to go home at his own expense.
He agreed to do SO, and went to Reno
and borrowing money Of George Ter
riten, returned to his home in a per-
fectly sane condition. The sheriff
sobered up and followed him mex,
day.
The doctor mentioned no names and
and the members were unable to To-
cate the parties alluded to.
The doctor wanted the law SC
amended as to allow no persons to be
committed to the Asylum unless they
were examined by competent physi-
clans and in the presence of a Judge
Of District Court, the commitmeI,
papers to come from him. 1t is evil
dent that such law is sadly needed
The doctor also stated that an ap
preparation was very much needed to
provide suitable place to keep in
durable patients and those whose
minds were total wrecks. They were
now confined to the upper floor Of the
building. and it was unsafe to place
any heating apparatus in the room
as they would fall against it and burn
themselves. One patient had burned
half his nose off by pressing it agains,
a stove and refused to take his nose
off until he was removed by force
He was oblivious to the sensation o.
heat. The place was warmed by hot
air but the apparatus was defective
and at night the patients in that ward
Invested themselves of clothing anc
he wonder d they had not frozen te
death. 1t was impossible to keep any
clothes on them at night
If the people of the State but knew
of the condition Of those unfortunate
people, he .elt certain they would no,
begrudge an appropriation for new
arrangements to enable the State te
maintain ordinary comforts for them
