A WoMAN'S REASON.

] send your letters back. and humbly
pray:
Take, too your ring!'
! am not faithless, yet no more can say,
My Lord! my King!'
You had my love once-love that would
have dared
Fates strong disdain.
And reckoned earth as heaven, so you but
shared
The loss and gain
earth
OF every sweet,
And deck me. that / might, in fitting
worth,
Kneel at your feet!
A love that rocked not darkness, neither
light,
Nor cloud, nor fair,
The glad, gay morning. nor the grieving
night,
With you not there.
Still are you goodly gallant in mine eyes;
Yet-take your ring!
Subtly love changeth-subtly is love wise;
And love is King.
Martha McCulloch- Williams.
Dear, love me not alone because my
head
With the bright gold of youth is gar
landed.
Nor yet because my mouth is warmly red
And love presages;
My beauty's but the title of the book
Sweetheart. l beg that you will deeper
look
Betwixt the pages.
For l would have you love the whole of
me
The title and the books entirety,
The pages of the deathless poetry
My soul sing clearly.
When ruthless Time has marred the
covers gold
Still will you love me-aye. because I'm
old
Love me more dearly.

After the guests had assembled q ghostly company filed into the nail keeping step to subdued music, and wound among the corn shocks, gradu- ally closing in about the campfire. around which they danced in truly phostIy fashion. The connection be- tween the Indian camp and tue corn field was discovered when Mrs Buck ley was introduced and read with charming effect the chapter of Hia- watha. describing his fasting and the struggle with Mandamin.

A VICIOUS ATTACH.
samar Insurgents Kill Two Ninth h.
 fantry Men.

MANILA, Nov. l.-Advices just re- ceived here from Catbalogan, island of Samar. say that twelve men of Com pany G of the Ninth infantry under command of Sergeant Milford who had been sent from Basey to San An tonic to investigate and report in re- gard to the number of bolonen in the vicinity were viciously attacked by 40 insurgents, who rushed on them with great violence, killing two of the. sol diers and wounding two others. Will ford remained cool and collected dur ing the attack, and the survivors say he acted splendidly. Fourteen of the insurgents were killed. Captain Book miller of Company G recommends Milford for a medal of honor and Privates Swanton and yero for certifi- cates of merit
 General Hughes reports the com plete surrender of the insurgents in the island of Cebu, consisting of 450 men and 60 officers, with 150 rifles and s brass fieldpieces.
 The pouring of troops into the island of Samar is believed to. have had a good effect on the Cebu insurgents, who had been wavering for some time. The malcontents kept up the conflict by saying that a majority of the Amer ican troops had left the Philippines.

TO REPLACE ELM SCHOOL.
A New and Up-to-Date Building Is 2
 Necessity.

Superintendent Tinker of the public schools was asked by a Democrat re- porter if he thought it would be neces- sary to erect a new school building during next year. He replied that in his opinion it would be necessary to erect an additional building for school purposes. Several schools i'll different parts of the city are now rather crowd ed and something will have to be done next year to relieve this crowded con- dition of the schools. Asked as to what section of the city it would be | erected in, he stated that it would be the most favorable proposition to erect large, up-to-date school building on the site now occupied by the Elm school. This latter building is, as ey- erybody knows. in a poor condition.
 The ventilation is not what it should
 be. nor are the different rooms prop erly heated. A fine large and modern school building on this location would be of vast benefit and would do much to relieve the schools now crowded.
 Superintendent Tinker was asked if the High school building was crowded and would be crowded within q year or two. His reply was that there was no crowding at the present at the High school, but that all the available class rooms were in use at present. but that with few slight changes in the build ing several new rooms might be made
 Superintendent Tinker also remarked that the attendance at the High school VIII not De increased so much in the future as It has ill the past; that few years ago the attendance at the High schooI was very small for such a large. clty- This Is the primary reason why there seems to have been such an in- creased attendance during the past few years. In regard to the question whether pupils were entering the High schooI 100 young, he said that it was not so. The average age of pupils entering High schools all over the country is fourteen years; here it is about fourteen and half years. Su- perintendent Tinker expressed himself as being in favor of the erection of a manual training High school. It is his opinion that such a school would be of incomparable benefit to the young men of q manufacturing city such as
 Waterbury. The conditions of the various schools are very good just at present. Of course there are a num- Der of repairs to be made about the diff ferent school buildings. The valleys of the roof at the Barnard school are in a rather bad condition. They are supposed to be made of galvanized iron. The rain soaks through one of them into one of the school rooms. This is q bad condition of affairs It will be temporarily remedied, but the chances are that new valleys will have to be put in during the coming year.

POLICE COURT DoINGs.
Three Boys in Court This Morning
 Stolen Articles in Their Possession.

Three Boys in Court This Morning
 Stolen Articles in Their Possession.
 Three new faces appeared in the dock in the city court ahis morning before Judge Peasley. They were un- clean faces. though young, and they answered to the names Mlchael Snllh, 20. William Becker, 1/ and Albert Rudnig, IT. They were charged with va syrsncy. Three more unkempt and ln- different looking youths it would be difficult to find. Their faces were GOV cred with coal dust or grlme of some kind, their hands no cleaner, and thelf hair, long and dusty, hanging down over their faces could not conceal their indifference to their surroundings. Ser geant Blakeley testified that yesterday afternoon late his attention was at tracted to the accused by their actions on Bank street. When they found they were under surveillance they sought shelter i'll the rear of the Prichard building on Grand and Bank street. and were cornered in hallway ill that vicinity. One of them had q pair of new shoes, another had q bunch of watch chains. The clothes they wore were new, looking as though the tags had lately been removed. Upon arriyingl at the station house they were searched and another bunch of watch chains was disclosed, besides a number of cuff and collar buttons and other trinkets of mems attire. They also had brand new overcoats, and in q general way they seemed to have made q haul and were fixed up for the winter. Their home, they said, was in Torrington, but they had came from Danbury in a freight train. The boys had no defense, and they were each sentenced to sixty days ill jail.
 Patrick Hartford, 9, pleaded guilty to theft of q baby go-cart but denied he was a yagrant or i4ItoXicated yes terday. Mrs George Goodall, 35 Gen. ter street, testified that the accused begged something to eat at her house yesterday afternoon. She thought he was under the influence of drink and did not wish to invite him indoors. Her baby go-cart was ill sight of the man. It was proven that the go-cart was taken by Hartford and that he sold it for S1.50, though it originally cost $14. He was fined $7 and costs and given ninety days in jail. The woman who bought the go-cart would have been out her S150, but ninety cents of it were found upon Hartford and she was allowed sixty cents as witness fees
 John O'Dell, charged with intoxica- tion, was sent to jail for thirty days.

French Squadron Reported to Have

French Squadron Reported to Have
 Returned to Toulon.
 PARIS, Nov. Hate last night the Toulon:
 ''The complete Mediterranean squad ron returned to Toulon this evening and anchored in the roadstead."
 This would include Admiral Cail- lard's division, whose departure has thus been either countermanded or postponed. If the dispatch be correct, 1t would imply that the government has received news from Constantinople which has not yet been divulged and which has induced change of plan.
 It was reported that Admiral Cail- lard had been ordered to cruise within reach of a dispatch boat for possible curther instructions, and it is signifi- cant that the torpedo boat destroyer Hallebarde left Toulon at full speed during the afternoon to rejoin the squadron.
 The decision to make naval demon stration against Turkey was taken at a meeting of the cabinet Tuesday, at which M. Delcasse, the minister of for eign affairs, explained the sultan's pro- crastination regarding the French de- mands.
 Admiral Caillard's squadron consists of the armored cruisers Amira1 Pc thuau, Chanzy and Latouche-Treville, the second class cruisers Du Chayla and Cassard and the third class cruiser Galilee. The crews aggregate 2,2S6 men, but the vessels will also carry landing parties.
