Fnpa In Millinery.
125 BANK STREET

Indications of the furs that would come into practical use in the head wear for this winter have been appar- ent since early in the autumn. From month to month, as the season ad. vanced, passing reference was had to them in our reviews of styles in millinery; for November information was more direct while adyices on the subject for December leave no doubt as to the variety in furs of important consideration. As heretofore stated. in regard to the furs employed in the seasons headwear, those which seem thus far of most and of chief impor- tance are the Hudson Bay. sable, the Canada mink and chinchilla. Russian sable will be indulged in by the for tunate of our American leaders of fashion, who can afford to wear the regal coat of this little animal of the Siberian steppes; ermine and miniver have recently put in appearance in millinery models, and black and gray Persian, or Persian lamb skin, will be seen probably in hats-to match their use in the making and trimming ot cloaks-despite the revolt in the minds of the merciful against the method by which they are obtained for the mar ket.-Millinery Trade Review.

Grated Pumpkin Pie.

Many housewives are unfamiliar with the fact of the economy of abor, as we'll as the delicious result, in un- cooked pumpkin for pies. Having re- moved the pulp and seeds, cut into con venient pieces. The tiresome task of removing the rind is unnecessary. Crate one pint of the pumpkin to the pie. Put through cloth bag to re- move all water. Then change to a good-sized bowl. Add two well-beaten eggs, little milk to make creamy, two tablespoonfuls of molasses, one teaspoon of ginger, same of ground cinnamon, brown sugar to taste, a pinch of salt, and two tablespoons of powdered cracker, to thicken. Sprin. kle the top with grated cocoanut. Bake in hot even from 90 to 40 minutes. To assure well-baked under crust, prepare the crust a day or two before, lining the dish. This is advisable for all pies. Remember there is no cook ing of the pumpkin beforehand.-M Frances Rankin, in Good Housekeep- ing.

Missouri Mob Furnishes Them for H. Treatment of the Young Mans Wife
 Odessa. Mo, Jan 23.-C. l.. Huckle- berry, photographer of this city. and his mother, Mrs w. B. Huckleberry, were whipped Tuesday night with raw hides just after midnight by a posse of unmasked citizens. composed of about seventy-five of the leading men and women of this city.
 Huckleberry is about p years of age and was married last Thanksgiving to a young woman connected with one of the most prominent families of Johnson county. He has been report ed by neighbors as having abused his wife ever since her wedding day. His mother. it is charged. has several times taken his part in the rows, and to- gether it is reported they have given the young wife several severe whip pings.
 Last night Huclzleberry threatened his wife, which caused one of the neighbore to swear out q warrant for his arrest, and also stirred up the peo- pie of the city. The officers were talk ing young Huckleberry before justice of the peace, his father and mother ac- companying him. when the officers were overpowered by the mob at the intersection of Mason and Third streets. The young man was stripped to his shirt and the lash laid on his back about fifty times, while his mother was punished with similar lashes nearby.

Denies Some More Rumors as to Why
 His Engagement Was Broken.
 New York, Jan 23.-William Mar conf, the wireless telegraph expert, sailed for England yesterday on the Philadelphia, accompanied by his as- sistant. George Kemp. A wireless telegraph plant has been installed on the Philadelphia, and MT Marconi said that he intended to conduct some ex- periments that he thought would be interesting and he hoped would be val uable. MT Marconi said he would be back in about q month.
 Speaking of reports that his engage ment to Miss Josephine Bowen Hol- man had been broken. because of a difference over the marriage settle ment, Mir NIarconi said:
 '.That is q malicious lie. There was a reason why the engagement was broken, but Miss Holman and myself agreed not to say anything about it. I am very, very sorry; more sorry than words can express. Because of the unwelcome notoriety that Miss Holman will receive, it grieves me. A woman's position in matters of this kind is apt to be misunderstood, and it was not because Miss Holman ob- iected to my presence at a dinner to an actress at Montreal, as has been reported. l was not at that dinner.

SUIT FOR $fo,ooo.
Brought by Michael o'Keefe Against
 scovill Manufacturing Co.

Brought Oy MlcHdel V ASele AS"AA7S
 Scovill Manufacturing Co.
 A suit for S1o,0OO damages has been instituted against the Scoyin Manulac- turing Go by Michael O'Keefe of Sars- field street. The case is returnanIe to the superior court the first Tuesday Ill February, so that there is possibility of it's being tried early in the summer. Senator Kennedy and Attorney O'Nein represent O'Keefe and Burpee & Car mody the company. The case will be the most interesting of it's kind that has sver been heard in this city. It will be contested to the last ditch. not only on account of the amount of dam ages claimed. but for the principle in- volYed for there are elements in the case which have not vet been disclosed to the public that tend to show the comnanv's liability for the suit.
 O'Keefe was employed by the com pany in it's rolling mill on the Dublin street side of it's vast premises. He was engaeed in night work or rather worked all day and until about 9 o'clock 4 large number of men were similarly employed. and it was their habit to cut across the premises by the shortest route to the common high way on Dublin street But it is claimed that O'Keefe. being about 65 years of age was rather careful in leaving the factory nights. for about this time the company was en@aeed in adding large buildings on Dublin street fo it's already great plant.
 One evening O'Keefe. while leaving the factory. stepped into q hole five feet deep by three feet wide, and from this accident arose the suit. This was a part of the foundation trench for q heavy wall for an addition to the mill. It is claimed that tho contractors left the hole open without any protection or safee"ard for the passer-by. How ever. O'Keefe fell into it and received injuries that have left him a cripple for life. totally unable to earn a cent. It is claimed that he broke the joint of the right hiD hone. fractured three ribs on the right side. and was bruised and cut up in 8 general way. His injuries necessitated his removal to the local hOsDital. where he was treated for some time by the cnmnanv's physician. Dr Goodenoueh. O'Keefe is now at his home on Sarsfield street. but hard Iy able to move. which it is claimed. will be about his condition for the rest of his life.

cLEws' DIME COMES BACK.
It Was Stamped to Commemorate His
 Birth in 1856.

Birth ill 1856.
 New York, Jan 23.-John Henry Clews of the New York Stock exchange who is a nephew of Henry Clews, went into New street barber shop to get shaved. He gave a quarter to the barber. The, barber handed him 3 dime in change.
 On the dime, stamped in small cap ital letters, was ''John Clews.' The date of the dime is 1856, the year MI Clews was born, and he recognized at once the impression as identical with that on some family silver at home.
 His father, John Clews, had habit on the birth of child of stamping his name on new coin and putting the coin into circulation
 John Henry Clews says that the dime was undoubtedly a coin set afloat by his father when John Henry came on the scene, and he thinks SC highly of it that he is going to have it enclosed in glass with a gold frame
 The home of MT Clews, senior, was at Dunkirk, N. Y, and it was from there the coin started on it's cycle. Ii is we'll preserved, and MT Clews thinks that perhaps the fact that it had been mutilated by the stamping of the name on it may have prevented il from circulating as freely as other coins

 BOARD OF EDUCATION.
Contracts for Paper and Pencils
 Awarded Last Evening.

AWdrU0u LdSL EfculASs
 Last nights meeting of the board of education was very interesting. All meetings are interesting which are de- voted to the consideration of bids. There were so many bids last night that it is a wonder that the session did not continue until midnight. There were so many bids that the members ought to have been puzzled to know which was the best. The entire board with the exception of MT Chapman. was present. Mayor Kilduf presid- ed.
 In response to the advertisement for bids to supply drawing pencils, draw ing paper, common pencils. Gillott and Esterbrook pens, penholders, letter pa- per and ink, bids on one or more of these supplies were received from F. Garvan of Hartford, the Eagle Pencil Go, the Gillott Co. George F. King < Co. Davis & Nye, the J. l.. Hammett Co, the Waterbury Blank Book Co, the Office Supply Co, the J. NJ. Olcott Co, E. Babb & Go, and J. H. Devereaux & Co
 When the bids for drawing pencils were being considered Dr Goodenough remarked that he thought it would be unnecessary to purchase pencils as there were so many samples.
 The drawing pencils, as we'll as the drawing paper. were tested by Miss Macomber, instructor of drawing in the public schools.
 Contracts were awarded as follows:
 Drawing pencils. twenty-five gross, at S2.25 q gross. to the Waterbury Blank Book Manufacturing Go. Common pencils, 275 gross, at 6S cents gross, to the J. l.. Hammett Co of Boston.

 Ink, fifteen gallons in quart bottles l at $2 per dozen bottles, to the Water bury Blank Book Manufacturing Co.
 Dr Russell stated that the thirt story of the Walsh school could no1 | be completed for the sum of $1,000 and thought it would be necessary to asl l for bids on the work. The commit tee on hygiene was requested to hav' Architect Jackson furnish specified tions for the completion of the thire story at the next meeting.
 There was short discussion as tC whether any of the school buildings would be affected by the new building ordinance and whether the schools had sufficient exits in case of fire. II the latter respect it was said that tht 1 Crosby grammar and Elm schools ar' in the worst condition. This matte will be inspected when the board shal enjoy their annual tour of inspection
 The board adjourned to Monda! evening, February 3.

 Squeaks and Squalls from the Orches-
 tra Chairs at Mrs Campbells Play.
 New York, Jan 23.-Just before the rising of the curtain on Mrs Patrick Campbell's performance of The No torious Mrs Ebbsmith'' last night at the Theater Republic. number of women seated in the first two rows of the orchestra chairs began to squeal and stand up, and make wild efforts to get out into the aisle. One of them, who had gold and black openwork stockings, stood up on the seat of her chair. Just as the other folks in the theater began to wonder what all the trouble was the curtain went up and the women quieted down gradually, al- though one or two of them bounced into the air from time to time without apparent reason.
 During the intermission between the third and fourth acts the disturbance was renewed and became much more general. Women in the first ten rows on the east side of the house were all squeaking and prancing around togeth- CT with their skirts pulled close around their ankles and pointing with horri- lied faces at something under the seats. Their men folks and several ushers made wild assaults with nm brellas and sticks on the hidden foe and it was at last driven out into the aisle
 It was single little gray mouse which had got it's time of day mixed m and had made the fatal mistake of coming out during a performance It was slaughtered by an usher with a broom. s'
 Then Mrs Campbell went on With ssThe Notorious Mrs Ebbsmitb,, as a.s Though nothing more awful had hap- pened.
