night among them. You nave not heard-?'
 Not word. Good-by!" Dr. Brod mar in the brief meetings with Frances would never discuss Somers. It is likely that his friends choice of sides had been an immense disappointment. Frances was bound to receive Brod- mars hint unfavorably when she con sidered the new and continued kind ness of her stepmother. Often the lat ter said:
 "When it is all over, my child, this cruel war, these scenes of suffering, we will take our trunks and go abroad somewhere for year of rest" The idea seemed to be a favorite one with her; she told all Of her acquaintances that she and "poor dear Frances" were going abroad as soon as hostili- ties closed; that the child was simply worked down. And in the face of this tender solicitude and the old lady's de- votion to confederate sufferers, peo- pie shook their heads and acknowl- edged that one should not always be- lieve the unkind things whispered of a neigh bor. From the isolation of sus- pected person, in year Mrs. Brookin achieved immense popularity and won the confidence of even the highest of ficials, in whose home circles she was as welcome as they were in hers.- How welcome they were might be estimated from certain government records, if the records were accessible and possf- ble of transla tion now.

Connecticut Representatives.
MOVEMENT ON FOOT TO MAKE A MORE EQUAL REPRESENT TION-CHAIRMAN TYLER OF THE REPUBLICAN,
 COMMITTEE PROPOSES A N. . fs5ets5s

The hearing at the state house yes terday afternoon, says the Hartford Courant, was marked by several incl dents of what they call the era-mark- ing type. Chairman Fyler. who never hesitates to state his position clearly was emphatic that d system of repre- sentation was absolutely ''indefensi- ble,' which, as he showed, gave two representatives each to thirty eight towns whose populations average only 1,4o0 and one each to eighteen towns that average over 3,2OO each. He said there was no justification of any such scheme. Later when eX-GOvern- or Waller declared that if after this start a republican legislature left this matter untouched he believed the dem- ocratic party, small as it has become, would be back in power. MT Fyler f1atly re-echoed the sentiment and said that he. too. felt that if the republi- cans did not do their duty HOW they might not have the chance later.
 This is a serious situation. The members may as well face it squarely The attempt to make out that the pro- posed changes are destructive of the principle of town representation is based on q misapprehension so far as 1 u i'o Ic NSlS opPoSIlC lS AlAC fact. This is an honest effort to save the principle by making it's operation defensible. It guarantees each town | it's representation. Mir Fyler out lined details of various plans. One that seems most in favor is to give | every town one member. give two to 1 every town of 2.50O population and add a member for each 2O,OGO includ- | ing the original 2,5OO. It would give a house of 254 members. one less than now. It would reduce thirty-1ive towns | from two each to one and raise eight l cen towns from one to twO-l net re- l ductiOn of seventeen towns, making
 ninety-eiyht with one each. and seven with more than two. Ii the people of | the small towns were afraid of fu- 1 ture unfairneSs. they need only study | the details of this to see that the towns
 under 5000 would not only have d
 clean majority of the members. but
 would have exactly tWO-thirdS of the
 whole body. There would be ninety
 eight towns with one member each.
 and of the two-member towns thirty
 six would be under the 5000 limit.
 which is supposed to make large
 town.' That makes ITO members. They could be trusted to be farr if
 the members from the larger towns
 were inclined to be unreasonable. The
 situation would be entirely and abso-
 lutely in the hands of the small towns.
 and they could defend their rights to
 it. They cannot now by any other
 reasoning than that they have it and
 What are you going to do about it!'' Something must be done.
 The following is the plan, as out
 lined by Mir Tyler and printed in the i COurant:

that would have deceived no ornss than a woman.

That six o'clock tea was the tri- umph of brilliant diplomatist's ca reer. Louise was forgiven, caressed, received back as member of the family, her claims and wrongs ac- knowledged, and full reparation agreed upon. No one could have ex- celled Mrs. Brookin in the tender ness with which she treated the now happy woman. She blamed Raymond openy for having concealed the truth from her.
 "I knew nothing of the unfair ad- vantage he took of you-nor of the child" she said to Louise. "My hus' bands ni&ce! It was indeed crime! And yet l see now that I largely have been to blame. l threatened him; my heart was set upon another plan. My dear child, if loving care and sym pathy can compensate in part for what you have suffered, they shall be yours.

 My child, madam" she faltered. 'Where is she?"

 Louise went back to the hotel al most content.

aMystic NIidgets" at the Town Hall s Last Nieht-Ice to Be Cheaper.

Last Night-Ice to Be Cheaper.
 "Mystic Midgets'' as given under the auspices of the Center school at the town hall last night was q success Ill every way. The entertainment con sisted entirely of Imaginable fun, noth- ing serious happening during the per formance. The way the children adapted themselves to their respective parts was a surprise, many having the stage presence of professionals. The play consisted of two acts of good, moral fun. taking up about two hours time. There was chorus of 100 | voices. Every seat in the house was sold, many having to stand. It will be repeated on Saturday evening. Ice Prices.
 From the present outlook ice prom ises to be much cheaper in town dur ing the coming summer. The reason for this is that Watertown now pos scsses two ice companies instead of 1 one, namely the Watertown Ice con- pany, with Charles Missell as man. ager. and the ice company of William | J. Munson. During the last summer Mir Munson had control over all the | ice sold here. and many thought we could get ice cheaper by having two companies. Both have agents out canvaSsing and the rivalry is quite keen. The majority of tine people are pleased at the formation of the two companies, as they will be benefited by 1 it.

Little Japanese Cook.

O, he was perfect jewel-her little Japanese cook! So watchful and at- tc1tive! He wrote in his little mem orandum book all her instructions, so there could be no mistake. His cui- sine? Ineomparable. His manners? Divine. But, like all good things and perfect jewels, he had to go. He begged the privilege of calling and say good-by before sailing for his na- tive land, and in due time his card was presented by the footman with ''Ph. D."after his name. Madame found him in full evening dress and some foreign decorations. He informed her that his degree had been conferred by a cele- brated German university, and that he had been in America to obtain at short range material for a book, on the man. ners and social customs and the daily domestic life of the upperclass Amer ican people. At first inclined to the horrors and Mysteries, madame finally yielded to the humor of the situation and forgave the former cook his amaz- ing duplicity. If am not in error she invited him to dinner to inveigle her husband into the joke.-N. Y. Press.
