GOOD Fortune osnI rortune,

1t is idle to try to enjoy trouble, but
it is rational to withhold Judgment as
to whether trouble be really the design
of an experience that seems grevous.
1t has happened thousand times that
some apparent misfortune has given
birth to vast blessing, thus in, the
issue proving itself actual good for
tune. Paul, for instance, tells in the
Philippians that the apparent calam-
ity of his imprisonment has resulted in
immense success and joy-"So that my
bonds became manifest in Christ
throughout the whole praetorian
guard, and to all the rest" Full trust
in the divine in the face of buffetings
is warranted by many an experience,
no less than by the wholly merciful
quality of Gods fatherhood. s.. S.

old circus man he'd chummed with in
the mines started him out as profes-
sional. The little woman stuck to him
nobly through it all; learned to be a
helpmeet in more ways than one.
You'll notice how carefully she's look

that when he was with the poor little
circus they started out wth---the man
who ought to have looked after those
things was so often drunk. A perform
er herself? Oh, no. Jim does an act
with the old circus man and his wife.
But the little woman there did great
act of her own once, and in fine shape,
too. That's what I'm planning to tell
you.
"We travelled out west last summer.
The little woman was crazy over the
country, and one Sunday Jim took her
and the little fellow out to farm
house for the day. After they'd had
dinner they set off for the creek run
ming through the wood-lot of the farm.
The farmer told them some thing start
ling about the creek before they left
the house.
"'Be mighty careful not to, fall in
down there!' was the substance of his
warning. There's mighty swift un.
dercurrent to that erik, an it's 20
feet deep just now after the big rain
and back-up last Friday; if you once
get down in the Nine-Mile you'll never
stop movin' till you get to Kansas City

that's just what the baby did, finally.
And that's how the little woman came
to get in her only and exclusive per-
formance.
"Just in front of where they sat
down to rest was the log bridge the
farmer'd fixed SOS he could get across
the creek easy. A log bridge, you know,
is big tree felled SOS to fall across
the stream. This particular tree was
new and slippery. The little woman
wanted to cross the creek badly-there

side and she wanted 70 get closer 70 II

AT FOREST PARK.

A big house greeted Isham's octo- rooms at Forest park last night. The company has played nearly every vau- deville circuit in the country. Every. member of this company is an artist and the opening sketch, in which all the members take part, is followed by speciality acts that are full of merit and cleverness. The singing by the several members is considerably above the average and each selection is en- Enthusiastically encored.
 Mime Delmaine, the palmist, enter tained quite number of ladies and there was great deal of amusement during the evening. There was a SUD- per party at the restaurant and the members of the party after riding the horses on the merry go-round enjoyed a bowling match in the steel alleys and attended the performance in the open air theater to finish up the even- ing's pleasure. The park is open every day and evening and North Main street cars run to the entrance.

sTRoWGER's STORAGE BATTERY
One Charged Fifty-three Days Ago
 Found to Have Lost No Power.

! 4.t4 4 4 stf
 Remarkable stories come from Roch- ester, N. Y., about the StrOwger stor- age battery, which is now being sub jected to severe tests. A battery of 100 ampere capacity was charged fifty-three days ago, and on being test ed on Monday it was found that there had been no loss of power whatever. This is feat that has never before been accomplished, it is said, although it has been sought after during the past fifty years by many electricians, including MT Edison himself. The new substance which MT Strowger dis- covered to take the place of India rub Der in the battery has also been tested and found to be imperviOus to all chemical action of the battery.
 A remarkable thing in connection with MT Strowger's perinhenting to perfect this new wGcompositionawas his discovery of the new gas ywIhieh can be liquefied by pressure and restored to gas by liberation. MT StroWger says he has submitted this gas to some dis tinguished analytical chemists, who now assure him that there will be no danger in handling the gas under pres sure. MT StroWger has illuminated his residence with his new gas and is also using it in a portable lamp and auto- mobile burner Tn making the gas with small apparatus he says there is no residue, but when made on q large scale there is a by-product Of such value that person can get back all the expenses of making the gas.

SELLING OPAL RINGS.
swindler Says He Worked Waterbury
 People Last Week.


 South Manchester, J une 26.--Several persons in this place. are looking for a slick young man who victimized them out of small sums yesterday. He told the hard-1uck story and offered each person an opal ring for dollar. He sold the rings freely around town, as Monday was pay day at the silk mills, and got prices ranging from 25 cents to a dollar. Each purchaser be- 1ieved his ring to be the only one the young man had and thought it was being bought at sacrifice. The young man admitted yesterday at a local bar Der shop that he was working a game and said he was making from $5 to SIP i'll some cities in a day. He said he worked Hartford, Waterbury and Meriden last week, and WAS in the Norwich police court for his dealngis recently. He left town late in the af-, ternoon, starting for Rockville. He has gold tooth and is of slight build.

INTERESTING TO WoRKMEN.
Connecticut Lodges Will Separate from
 Grand Lodge of Massachusetts.

New Haven, June 26.--Several months have gone by since the local lodges of the Ancient Order of United Workmen first started movement for the establishment of a separate grand lodge, to have Jurisdiction over the lodges in Connecticut The plan was favorably received by majority of the state organization, and the result Of the thorough discussion which the ques- tion has received since then was made manifest at the annual meeting of the supreme lodge just held in Buffalo. John Currier Gallagher and Walter Leigh were the delegates from this city. MT Leigh was unable to attend the meeting, but he received the printed reports of the business transacted by the supreme lodge yesterday. Past Stu. preme Master Workman J. c. Bickford of New Hampshire, presented the fol- lowing resolution, which was passed after a brief discussion:
 Resolved, That upon the petition of lodges located in and having Q major ity of the members of any state now under the Jurisdiction of the grand lodge of Massachusetts, the supreme master workman be and hereby is au- thorized to organize and institute grand lodge and separate beneficiary Jurisdiction in such state and under such terms and conditions as in the opinion of the supreme master work man may be equitable to all concurred.
 Providing that any grand lodge SO organized and established shall adopt the classified plan of assessments and the guaranty fund laws as presented by the supreme lodge"
 Now that the Connecticut lodges have received the permission to separ- ate themselves from the Massachusetts Jurisdiction, it is thought probable that immediate steps will be taken to bring about such separation. There have been no meetings of the local lodges since the action taken by the supreme lodge was announced, so that no action has been taken as yet but it is prob able that the new grand lodge will be installed early ill tho year 1902.

FREfGHT RATES ADVANCED.
Through Quiet and Organized olassih-
 cation of Commodities.

Chicago June 26. The Tribune says: Prominent western merchants all heavy shippers of merchandise, are preparing to call to account before the interstate commerce commission the heads of the various railroad com binations and the community of inter ests' alliances of the trunk lines of the country.
 Charges are made that, following these movements of consolidation. freight rates have been advanced from 30 to 90 per cent, through quiet and organized manipulation of the various classifications of commodities.
 Behind the movement to attack this scheme of freight advances by applying to the interstate commerce commissoni for relief lies the plan for n still more vigorous blow. The com splafnts intend to press a demand that congress shall take q hand in forcing the formation of a uniform classifca- tion of freight which shall be effective on every railroad in the United States

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
Narrow Escape for Patients in Hos
 pital-Loss to College Building.


 Chicago, June 26.-During a heavy thunderstorm last night a bolt of light ming struck the college of Physicians and Surgeons on Harrison street, be- tween Wood and Honore streets. The fire which followed the lightning in a short time destroyed the college build ing, which is one of the finest of it's kind in the west.
 Adjoining the college is the smaller building of the West Side hospital, which was filled with patients, about 100 being in the various wards. As it was seen that the college could not be saved, and that it's walls were liable to fall at any time, the work of removing the patients from the hos pital began. No one was injured.
 The College of Physicians and Sur geons is the medical department of the University of Illinois, situated at Champaign, III. The loss on building and equipment is practically total and will approximate $200,000.
