Stories of clever children are apt to
lose their charm by many repitittons.
but a real live little boy made remark
"a few days ago. which, SO far as
known, has never been recorded. 1t
was the day that the circus came to
town, and from early morning until
near the dinner hour that little boy was
not to be seen near his home. Then
he came in tired and dirty of course,
but full of experience as to his happy
day. The mother was very stern and
ltgied to impress upon him the anxiety
which they had all felt concerning him.
He held to it, however, that Ut was a
special providence" that he went the
way he did, for he had gone into the
side shows as we'll as the big tent and
had staid for the concert without hav-
ing to pay q cent. All of which was,
of course, about the time honored
carrying of water to the elephant. So
sure was he that providence had guided
him that the mother began to wonder
to herself If he had not been taught
just little too much scripture and Its
practical side. She was sure of 1t later.
AS punishment for his wrong doing, he
was not allowed to sit at the table for
dinner, but sat over in the corner at a
little side table. 1t is a custom of that
family to have the various members of
the family, in turn, offer q grace or a
pretty sentiment of thankfulness before
the meal is eaten, and that night 1T
fell to the lot Of the banished boy.
When his father nodded to him, with
out a moments hesitation he bowed his
head and said, "Oh. God. we thank
Thee for the table Thou hast set for
us In the midst of our enemies Now
that family is deyising some new way
OF Furnishing that incorrigible little boy.

COL. y. c. KERR EFT DEAD.
Once Arrested for Treason Ordered Dis-
 charged by Lincoln.

Washington, April 14.-Colonel James G. Berret, former mayor of Washing ton and one of it's best known citizens, died here to-day, aged eighty-six years
 He was a natiev of Baltimore and had been twice member of the Maryland legislature and in 1858 and in 1860 was elected mayor of Washington, D. C., as a democrat. Colonel Berret had the friendship and esteem of many public men; both democrats and republicans. He was chairman of the inaugural com mittee when President Cleveland was inaugurated the second time and during both the Cleveland administrations was always a welcome caller at the white house. On August 26, 1861, Colonel Berret, by order of Secretary Seward, was arrested as a southern sympathizer, the charge against him being that he had written certain letters containing reasonable utterances against the United States government" He was sent to Fort Lafayette in New York harbor and held there for two weeks as a military prisoner. When President Lincoln heard of tho arrest he ordered Colonel' Berret's discharge.

CENTRAL NEW JERsEY's TROUBLES
Trainmen and Photographers Now Dis-
 satisfied and Threaten to Strike.

| Wilkesbarre, Pa., April 14--A meet ing of representatives of the trainmen and telegraphers employed on the northern division of the Central Rail- road of New Jersey was held at Ashley tonight. It is said there was consid- erable dissatisfaction expressed over the terms of settlement of the threat ened strike by the conference in New York.
 The brakemen and telegraphers feel that their interests have been sacri-
 feed for the benefit of some of the other employees, the engineers in partic- ular. Unless the operators receive some concessions from the railroad officials this week the leaders say there will be a strike in which they claim they will be joined by the brakemen. The train men and operators will take another vote on the situation. It Is hardly prob- able, however, that the telegraphers and brakemen will undertake strike on their own account.
 The chiefs offtheir brotherhoods are against such a course. The engineers and firemen of this division are not al- together satisfied with the terms of set tlemen, but it is the general opinion that they would decline to join the train men and telegraphers in a sympathetic strike. The employees of the New Jer- sey divisions are accused by the men of this section of being in too big hurry to settle the grievances and sacrificing demands which, in the past, they claim ed must be granted by the company.

BRIDGEPORT INFANTJCIDE CASE. Young Girl Mother Ketfaots Accusation
 Against Her Lover.

Bridgeport April 14-Josephine Za- vozki, the sixteen-year-o girl who confessed to the murder of her own H. legitimate babe to save 1t from want and in order that she might marry Charles Searsvack, tonight withdrew the accusation that she made against her lover duplicating him in the plan ming of the deed, and told a new story in which she alone accepts the fespon- slbility. To-day the police took her to q place known as Avon Park in Strat- ford, and she pointed out a spot, where, she says, she sat down on a stone and strangled her child with a handker- chief. Then she led thejofficers through the woods to the tracks of the railroad and down the tracks to Bruce avenue, following the course which she claims to have taken with the dead babe in her arms, and finally brought up at the place where the body was discovered. The girl will be given a hearing Tues day.

BEL1rT1ED BY PRINCE CHING.
Rebellion in Mongolia and of General
 Tung Flu Hsiang.


 Pekin, April 14.-Prince Ching says all his reports go to show that the mis- sionary statements regarding a rebel lion in Mongolia are not supported by the facts. Neither does he believe that the rebellion of General Tung Flu Hsiang amounts to much.
 Tt is the object of certain elements" /" he asserts, Ito make 1t seem that China Is in a condition of constant broil, rem dering 1t unsafe for the foreign troops to be withdrawn Those who have this in view will magnify a village quarrel into a big rebellion The missionaries, naturally timid, take these reports in good faith
 The conduct of the ministers of the powers over the negotiations with the Chinese plenipotentiaries causes much adverse comment among the military authorities. Their dilatory tactics have prevented what might have been &C., complished two months ago. Even now the meetings of the ministers are post poned for the most trivial causes For instance, the desire of one minister to go on a picnic to the tomb of the Ming dynasty prevented the holding of a meeting for a number of days Then M. de Giers and other ministers insisted upon celebrating Easter and thus week was consumed In third case an unnecessary visit by one minister to Tien Tsin held up the negotiations for four days. These are fair illustra tions of what has been almost continuous from the beginning.

Gaming in Stamford Barber Shop-A
 Suspected Murder.

Watertown, April 14.-Near the Porn- peraug Valley station of the Consoli- dated road George Jackson, colored, thirty-f1ve years old, was run over and horribly mangled by freight train at a late hour last night, and the circum- stances have led to the advancing of a foul-play theory. Two weeks ago he had serious altercation with some oth- CT colored men at Salisbury, where ha was employed, and threats were mada at that time. It is claimed that he would not have deliberately lain down in front of the train. hence the infer ence that he was killed previously and his body placed on the, track to avoid detection. An investigation will fol- low, although the body was so badly mangled that an autopsy is difficult

TRIBUTE TO THE NEWSPAPER. Baltimore Clergyman Says the Cause of
 Religion is Advanced by It.

Baltimore, April 14-In the course of his sermon this morning, the Rev. W. A. Crawford Frost prominent Prot estant Episcopal clergyman, of this city, paid a tribute to the work of the newspaper in advancing the cause of religion. He said:
 Many clergymen sin in remaining asleep to the opportunities offered them for spreading the principles of right eousness through the public press. We are to publish the glad tidings and if we can only reach hundreds by the voice we may reach hundreds of thou sands by the journals. We cannot go out to the highways and hedges, but the newspapers can and they will take our messages for us if these are wor- thy.
 ''The devil has the ear of the world. We should be awake to get for God as large an audience as we can. He will hold us accountable If we remain asleep and keep the people slumbering."

 They Attempt to Wade Ashore.

| The manoeuvres of a sailing party off the Savin Roc.A shore yesterday after noon attracted considerable attention from the people who live at the Rock and those who happened to be at the resort. The sailing party consisted of six persons, three young men who were thought to be students and three young women who recently figured in the po- lice court, where they were charged with street walking.
 The crowd was out in round-b pot toned catboat and while the tide was going out attempted to sail in to the shore. At high tide it is possible for a. boat of the draught of the one they had to sail in within one hundred feet of shore but when the tide is going out such boat is liable to run aground. This result happened to the party yes- terday and the boat stuck in the sand in about eighteen inches of water off the outer end of Skeeles' pier. They tried to get the boat off, but could not do so. After waiting little while one of the young men climbed overheard and waded ashore where he secured a small boat.
