TOOK PARIS GREEN.
Union City woman Ends Her Life

Union City Woman Ends Her Life.
Naugatuck, Dec. Mrs. Stephen
Meyer died at her home. 26 Anderson
street, Union City, this morning, from
the effects of a dose of paris green
taken about o'clock o'clock afternoon.
The Meyers are a respectable Hun
garian family, and her rash act is at
tributed to the fact that she was oblig-
ed to stay alone evenings.
Her husband is molder and is vice
president OF the holders union, being
the principal organizer of the union
in Naugatuck. He is absent from
home frequently in the evening to at
tend meetings held by the union, and
says his wife has complained about
being left alone. The poison was taken
in milk, which counteracts the drug
to a certain extent.
Mr.. Meyers statement follows:
Il came home about two o'clock this
afternoon. My wife asked me if was
ready for dinner. told her l wanted
to shave first She sat down by the
table and 1 noticed she was i'll. Upon
asking her the cause she said she had
taken poison, and aseked me to go to
the pantry and bring her the bowl in
which quantity of the drug still re-
manned. I Immediately locked her in
the room and started to get doctor.
She climbed out of a window and ran
over to the golf links. We brought
her home and Drs. Johnson and Krell
soon arrived. My wife and 1 have al
ways lived pleasantly together and 1
cannot account for her action, except
that she wants me at home in the
evening""

here they have an opportunity to eX-
press in their work something Of what
they have gained in the earlier lesson

clay or colored papers, and often their
work is made into a gift for friend.

TO AID FREE KINDERGARTEN
FAIR WILL BE HELD TO RAISE
ADDITIONAL FUNDS.

An interesting Review Of tho Work
of This Organizstion-Has Been Ia
Existence for Ten Years-LIst OF
OHiceIs-The PatrOnesses for the
Fair.
The Elm City Free kindergarten was
established about ten years ago, its
aim being to supplement the public
kindergartens by taking care of chill
dren for whom these cannot as yet
make provision.
When it began this work, the board
of education supported only one kim
dergarten; it now maintains Is, but
these hold in all only 1000 children,
and there are at least 1880 more, five
years old and under, for whom there is
no room. These children are chiefly
from the poorer districts, where there
at work, often away from home, all
day long, and have neither time nor
strength nor wisdom to be to their
babies what a mother may be. They
need help, and their need is met by the
kindergarten. 1t brings the children
under the influence of kindly, intelli-
gent care, it develops the good that is
in them by teaching them the joy of
gentle, clean, mirthful play, and
through the children it reaches the
mothers and shows them how to make
their homes brighter and better.
The day begins at 8 o'clock, but
many of the children come early for a
preliminary good time. They dance,
play games, or look at picture books
and build with the blocks. A chord
from the piano is the signal for put
ting away the toys. and after little
music all march to. the ring for the
morning prayer and hymn. Other
songs follow, with recitations and
stories, and then a little talk about
something in nature or the life of some
great man.
After the quiet period the children
march again, and there follows the
luncheon of crackers and milk. Some
of the older children spread cloths over
the tables and arrange at each place
the crackers, the cup of milk, and the
napkin. When all have finished, they
carry away the cups and the care
fully folded napkins and brush UP the
crumbs from table and floor.
The children now work with the
gifts" of Froebel-the balls, blocks,
tablets. sticks and rings-and then find

CASE OF INSANE MAN.

Judge Cleaveland of the probate
court and Attrney Ely went to the
Springside home yesterday to have a
further hearing in the case of Henry
Platt, the insane man, who created such
a scene in the court room few days
ago.
Plat is now locked in a cell in the
Springside home and it will not be safe
to bring him into court again, as he has
been very violent during the past three
or four DAYS.
There will be further hearing in his
case to-day when his commitment will
probably be ordered.
