IS BACK FROM ST LOUIS.
Commissioners F. A. Betts Is Branded
 good Mixer by St Louis Press.

Hon, Frederick A. Betts, one of the members of the national commission Tor the St Louis exposition, arrived nome yesterday from St Louis, where ne was in attendance at the meeting of organization of the commission. The commission has selected as presi- dent, Senator Thomas H. Garter, Of
 Montana. MT Betts will serve upon the executive and on the Judiciary committees, both being important com mittees in connection with the exposi-s ton. After organizing, the commits sion had q conference with the mezn-
 bers of the officers of the Louisiana
 Purchase Exposition company.
 There has been raised toward the
 cost of the exposition by subscription .$5O0,0OO, which has been contributed
 in sums from $10 up to $25O, ,O0O.
 Commissioners Betts says that about
 twenty states have made appropria- tions providing for exhibits at the St Louis exposition. There is bill pend- ing in the Connecticut legislature for an appropriation for an exhibit from this state.
 Since the exposition commissioners
 have been organized only week, there
 have been over 2,O0O applications for positions, in the various departments. l The matter of employment of assist ants is in the hands of the purchase committee, subject to the approval of 1 the commission
 The St Louis Republic has the fo1- l lowing to say about the Connecticut member of the commission: ssCommissioner Betts of Connecticut l is business man who was evolved l from newspaper man He is young and full of vigor and enthusiasm for I the exposition and all that 1t means.
 He is good mixer and possesses the rare faculty of remembering names. 1 MT Betts said. I am delighted to be over here in l the great west. The people of the east, I believe, thoroughly understand 1 and appreciate the value and extent l of this enterprise and will be here with their exhibits in person A mixer such as Mir Betts is call- l ed by the St Louis newspaper, is q 1 complimentary term of western inven-, l ton. MT Betts took the trouble to l find out what it meant before he left l St Louis. A good "mixer' is q person l who mixes well with the crowd, is af- l fable and popular.

WATCH GONE, MONEY SAFE.

Bridgeport, May 2.-A Derby saloon Keeper, whose name was not learned, was robbed of his gold watch as he slept at the depot yesterday. One of the baggage men discovered the victim asleep, with his watch chain dangling from his vest. Officer Schauwecker was notified, and the saloonist was aroused. When he realized what had happened, he thrust his hands into his pockets, and uttered sigh of relief. He withdrew 8 roll of bills, saying they represented $250, and while he mourned the loss of his watch, valu- able one, he felt relieved to think his money was safe. There is no clue to the thief.

POLICE COURT DoINGs
Judge Burpee Transferred Prisoner to
 Chief Egan's Custody.

NF Q 4 <.
 John Miller, a peddler who formerly lived on Division street and now living at the depot at East Farms, was charged in the city court this morning before Judge Burpee with asSaulting and turning his wife and three children out Of doors Tuesday evening. Mrs Miller told a long story of i'll treat ment. Briefly it is this: They have been married eight years and until they moved to East Farms two years ago her husband was employed in the. factories. Since they moved from the city Miller has been engaged in ped ding and has not given his wife one penny, but bought all the requirements of the house and family. Mrs Miller's appearance in court showed neglect in this respect. He makes the boy, ' years old, take care of the horse, and when the little fellow is not able to do 1t, or does not like to do it, he whips him with the horse whip. Of course can't stand that; but what can do. He often chases the little girl, who is only 6 years old, with the whip also, and she hides from him in the brush. Tuesday he turned us all out of doors and had to go to my mother, Mrs Mckay, on North street, with the chil- dren."
 Miller said the situation was not quite so bad as his wife pictured it, though she said that all she wanted done with him was to have him be kept away from her; she would try and get along without him. He was forced to admit that crowds of men come to his house occasionally and raise all manner of disturbances. He was fined SlO and costs, though he pleaded hard for clemency. He having been sheriff Rigney's prisoner. up to this, Clerk Me- Mahon was in doubt to whom he should make out the mittimus to take Miller to jail in case he did not pay his fine. Judge Burpee decided the point by ordering Miller to the custody of Chief Egan. Miller's fine amounted to SPA lacking few cents.

Extract From Moriarty's Speech to His Customers Last Wednesday
 Evening.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
 If the early closing movement has come to stay in Waterbury we must all work together for it's success. We believe that 90 per cent. of our adult population are wage earners in this city and to crowd their time for ptr- chasing into the small space of three hours a week from z 80 to p. m.) is a problem which the customer must solve for himself.
 We are trying to do our part of it to the extent of doubling our force of clerks Wednesday and Saturday nights. When we signed the paper for the Clerks union we were led to be- lieve that the general public was en- thusiaStic over it's adoption. We hope 1t will prove so.
 One way in which the customer can save time is for the wife to come through the day if possible, make the selection, and then bring the husband in the evening to confirm her choice. Most men are satisfied with the se- lections made by their wives because of harmony of ideas which attracted them towards each other in their early days of courtship, when little fiirta- | ton was like ray of sunshine after 21 days rain. In looking over the list of MARRIAGES reported in the daily papers we find OUR CUSTOM FRS GREATLY IN THE MAJOR ITY.
 We GUARANTEE them SUC- | CESSFUL MARRIED LIFE IF HE and she. will follow the little rule which we give free to every one we | furnish.
 Some of the articles which attracted | the attention of our customers lately were very pretty couch covered with | velour, for $3.75, full size, also three piece Golden Oak Chamber Sets, extra finish. 1Sx24, French beveled mirror, the $25 kind. our price $15.15, bought l in carload lots. A4
 Velvet Carpets, 59c per yd, regular price $1.

 Best ten wire Tapestry, 10 to 20 | yds. to close out at 60c. | Carpet Sweepers, 9Sc.

BURGLAR CAUGHT.
Mrs Risk Gave Alarm When She Saw
 Him in Her Room.

Him in Her Room.
 Middletown, May 2.-Thomas w Gray, who claims that his home is in South Boston, where he has mother and sister, has been bound over for trial on the charge of burglary. Mrs Robert Risk, whose husband is a per manent fireman, was aroused about 12:3O yesterday morning by someone's striking a match in her room. She gave an alarm which aroused Mrs Frank J. Young, who lives upstairs. She awoke her husband and called up Isaac Parmelee, who lives in an ad- joining house Young and Parmeles made search of Mrs Risks apart ments and they found the burglar standing by the foot of the bed. He appeared to be dazed and had made no attempt to escape, though he could have got out easily.
 They took him down to the police station, accompanied by John J. Mall ley, another neighbor. In his pockets were found 1ady's gold watch, jew. elry case, a lot of cuff buttons, etc, bot. tie of perfumery, box of hair pins comb and brush, a bag of bicycle tools etc. Gray had gained admission to the house through kitchen window. MI Malley thinks that Gray attempted to get into his house before he went to Risks. Gray pleaded guilty when ar. raigned in the city court yesterday morning and was held under $1,0Od bonds for trial before the superior court, the fourth Tuesday in Septem Der.

The Hearth Cricket,

Mr.. James REIN, of the American
chronological Society. has made a
special study of the cricket life of
Philadelphia. AS result Of his stud
les, he writes:
"Most Americans were formerly fa-
miliar with no other cricket than the
black field cricket. but recently light
brown species with bars of dark brown
on its head, has made its way into
our cities. and this visitor is none other
the hearth cricket, the friend Of Caleb
Plummer and John Perrybingle. 1t
cannot be denied that we have always
had, so far as we know, the little min
strel; but recent years have seen a
very great increase in their numbers
in and around Philadelphia. His chirp
is quite different from that of our
black crickets, and he shows a great
preference for the vicinity of stove,
where he soon lets himself be heard.
''The hearth cricket is found over the
greater part of Europe. inhabiting
dwellings and outbuildings, but the
insect particularly loves the vicinity
of fire, such situation as Dickens
graphically describes in his Christmas
Stories. "-Philadelphia Record.
