 Friend in Which He Spoke of Ills
 Engagement Being Broken Off
 Litchfield, Oct 31.--prior to the open ing of court this morning in the trial of John T. Hayes, Judge Elmer said to some reporters that the trial was likely to last over into next week. Every effort will be made, however. to bring it to a close as soon as possible.
 Dr Buell. of Litchfield was the first witness put on by the. state ill rebuttal. lie considered the accused sane at the tlne of the commission of the crime that he was sane now and had been sane. Tn his opinion the mental state or the prisoner was perfect before and after the shooting.
 The thiltieth and last witness in the Hayes trial yesterday was Spencer +. woodward. He testified that he had worked in the Clock shop for about twelve years except for seven months. beginning September 15. 1900. During SIX months of that time he worked iil Waterbury.

Hayes spoke to him about get ting work ill Waterbury and witness said he would see what he could do A week or two later he wrote Hayes a letter from Waterbury and received an answer dated February !. 19Ol
 The defense tried to exclude this let ter but were unsuccessful. Portions of the letter are nearly as follows
 Am glad you are in good health. Never forget your home nor how hap py you are to have one. Just hang on to if. Well. I'm bachelor now. Just think of it.

esteem. Up to within a very few years
the most deplorable outrages were COM
mitted openly and are now even done
secretly.
While the corps Of Janissaries existed
every fifth male child was forced into
the Turkish military service and young
girls were carried off by thousands to
fill the harems Of their conquerors The
naughty bearing and tyranny of the
troops which marched to and fro in the
country so cowed the Christian popula-
ton that they became timid serfs.
Many escaped death by embracing Is
lam and it was not uncommon for par
ents voluntarily to send their daughters
into the harems of the Begs, Or noble
men, so that they themselves might
gain protection.
Cruel as the bandits are to foreigners
they have a hold on the affections of
the natives and are aided by the peas
ant population, who shelter and protect
them. A curious state of affairs has
resulted from this anarchy. When the
peasantry are maltreated by the Turk
ish Begs and other officials they appeal
to the brigands, Haiduts, Kirdjalis, or
by whatever name they are known, for
protection or revenge.
In one place young Turkish noble
man had been guilty Of the greatest
cruelty and excuses, committing out
RACES on the wives and daughters of
the peasantry, even capturing and sell
ing children. He entered a village on
one occasion on horseback, surrounded
by his retinue all decked in silk and
gold. He had not gone far when a
band of Haiduts, led by a well known
chief, sprang from hiding places, pulled
the Beg from his horse, broke his arms
and legs and struck off his head. This
bloody trophy they put on the end of a
spear and carried it in triumph at the
head Of the band as they marched
through the village.
some Notorious Brigand..
Many similar instances are still told
of brigand chiefs and their followers
leading kind of Robin Hood life in the
mountains. There are even historic
cases of brigand chiefs becoming so
formidable that the Sultan had been
obliged to take them into his service
and recognize their authority. The
most notable instance is that of Osman
Pasvanogla, the independent pasta, of
Nidin. As young man he saw his
father murdered by Turkish official.
He then left his home and adopted a
brigand life in the mountains of AL
oania near Bulgaria. firing of that

Franklin Price, a grand old Chicago
yanced doctrine" tending to show that
marriage is a failure and declaring for
anarchy in affairs of the heart and in
the relations of men and women. 1t
didn't please Mr.. Price. He had just
celebrated his golden wedding and was
happy with that chastened kind of af-
lection that comes with years and pro-
Ionged association with a good woman.
To show that marriage is not failure
this old lover got together list of 125
couples who have lived together from
fifty to seventy-fve years in peace and
happiness. They were all persons that
had either come within his knowledge
or were personal acquaintance. The
institution of marriage is in no danger,
and attacks on it are unworthy Of seri-
Gus thought. The marriage ceremony
is simply the part that society and the
State play in a union that should have
nothing but love for its foundation if it
is to be a tue marriage. People who
really love seldom trouble the divorce
courts. They may have differences.
There are thorns all along the way Of
life and few escape them. But consid-
erateness is one of the fine qualities
that comes from love and is developed
by married life. 1t is easy to forgive
when there is sincere affection. Stand
ing alone divorce statistics are appall-
ing. They present panorama of self
ishness, deceit, lying, greed and the
mistakes of humanity. Most Of the
people concerned should never have
married Compare the divorce stats
tics with the great list of happy mar
riages, and they are nothing. There is
not material left for public scare nor
ground for an attack on an institution
that will endure as long as hearts are
the foundations on which good men and
women build happy homes.

blazed in it's full meridian, that wonder
full phenomenon Of elegance, George
BRYAN Brumme1l This swell of the
SWEETEST was born in London in June,
1888 and received his education at
Elton, where he enjoyed the distinction
of being the best scholar, the best oars
man and the best cricketer Of the day.
Though not gentleman by descent, he
made plenty of aristocraic friends, be-
came intimate with the then Prince OF
Wales, and associated with the nobility
of Great Britain. On the death OF ms
father in 1904, Beau inherited for
tune of $150,OOO, and the Prince gave
him a cornetcy in his regiment and rap
idly promoted him to captaincy. But
military life did not suit the man who
was destined to shine as the leader OF
fashion, so he sold his commission in
the army and devoted himself to dress
and fine society.
His clothes were a perfect study. Inc
coat was generally of blue cloth, and it's
collar raised against the back OF the
head like the hood of monk-a style
familiar to us in pictures and mlnla-
lures of the period-the buckskin or
nankeen breecheS were so incredibly
tight that they could only be got on
with immense labor, and could only
be taken off in the same manner as an
eel is Invested of it's skin. Then came
a waistcoat about four inches long,
open on the chest, displaying a stiff
white muslin cravat. Hessian boots
completed the costume, and to these the
Beau paid particular attention. They
were commonly reported as being black
ened, eau vim de champagne" at any
rate, two shoemakers were supposed to
insure the perfectness of their fit; one
made the right and the other the left
foot. He had three glovers for his
gloves, one Of whom was exclusively
charged with the cutting out Of his
thumbs. Three hairdressers were like
wise engaged to dress his hair.
AS for the personal appearance of this
sublime dandy, we are told that Ibis
face was rather long and his features
neither plain nor ugly" Upon his re-
tirement from military life he set up a
splendid bachelor establishment In
London and became the arbiter of taste
and fashion while his money lasted,
which was until about 1917. He then
fed from his creditors to Calais, and
after living there for some years on
such remittances as he could procure
from his friends he was appointed con-
sui at Caen, France. Here he became
reduced to utter perjury and in 1910 he
died in hospital for lunatics. AS a
fashion plate Brummel has never been
surpassed or equaled since.

Hamburg's Sanitary, Water, and Sew
erage Systems Are Now of the Best.
Hamburg boasts of the best system
of docks and warehouses and the best
sanitary arrangements, water supply
and sewerage of any city in the world.
The superiority of the latter is due to
the energy and genius of young
American, DR.. Dunbar of st. Paul, who
has become a citizen of Germany and
is at the head Of the sanitary depart
ment Of Hamburg. During the century
just passed Hamburg suffered from
fourteen fearful visitations of cholera.
The last epidemic, which occurred in
1892, threatened the health of all Ger
many and Prof. Gaffke of the Univer-
sity of Giessen was called to take
charge Of the quarantine and sanitary
arrangements. He brought with him
as an assistant one Of his students, q
young American who had distinguished
himself as intercollegiate Mr.. Dun
bar-who remained during the terrible
scOurge and after it was suppressed
was employed to carry out the recon-
mendations made by Prof. Goffke and
DR.. Koch, who represented the imperial
government in aiding and advising the
local authorities in the struggle to sub
due the plague.
