the company to buy in such large guam

Smallest Living Child.

New York, October 13.-What is
said by physicians at the Bellevue
and New York post graduate hos.
pitfalls, to be the smallest living child
ever born, has been placed in an in
cubator at the latter institution.
The child, boy, weighs one
pound seven ounces. 1t is IA inches
in length. 1t was taken to Bellevue
by John Clark, carpenter. He
carried it in a paper bag filled with
cotton, and stated that his wife was
too i'll to care for the child. The
doctors were greatly interested, and
at once carried the infant wonder to
the Post Graduate hospital, where it
was placed in an incubator.

The State of Illinois has law
imposing fine of from ten to one
thousand dollars on persons who
deal in futures. The law was at
tackled as being unconstitutional, but
the Supreme Court Of the United
States has decided it constitutional.
If every State in the Union had
such law it might probably save
thousands from financial ruin. o.

The STATE CHARITIES.
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD
OF COMMISSIONERS.

Cost of the MaiuIenance of Particular
Northumberland Less Than
in 1901, bat BniIdIng Operations
Greater - Recommendations Urged
Upon the Incoming Legislature.
Hartford. Dec. 2S.-An advance copy
of the twenty-first annual report of the
state board of charities for the fiscal
year, 1902, has been presented to the
governor.
The institutions visited by the COM
missioners are ninety in number, and
include the state prison, eleven county
jails, the reform and industrial schools,
fourteen Institutions for the insane, in
Guiding private sanitarium, schools for
the feeble-minded, the deaf and the
blind, eighteen hospitals, the eight
county temporary homes for children,
and thirty private homes and asylums
I for children and old people.
The expense to the state during the
year for the maintenance and super
! vision of the Institutions mentioned was
$500, 073, showing a considerable decrease
! from the amount expended in 1901,
! which was $6S1,0S The decrease in
particular institutions was very marked
! in the case of the state prison, where
! the earnings of prisoners for the year
were exceptionally large
| The amount expended by the state
for building operations was $780, 100, as
compared with $142.0 900 in 1901 The to-
tai cost to the state in 19O2-$S53, 173-is
the largest recorded in the reports of
| the board.
The board urges especially upon the
| incoming legislature the following rec
concentrations for action:
| THAT a system of suspended SEN
! fences, with supervision by probation
officers, as practiced successfully in
Massachusetts. be adopted for treat
ment of juvenile offenders.
THAT boys under ten years of age
may be committed to the School for
Boys for offenses that are punishable
by Imprisonment in Jail as well as the
state prison.
3-That all. county jails be brought
under the control of state commission
of prisons.
4-That a state reformatory be es-
tablished in particular, one for wo-
men.
5-That system of district or county
almshouses be legalized in place of the
present town almshouses.
6-That new institution be estab-
lished for the purpose of a. state aims
house.
The state prison at Wethersfield is
highly praised for it's modern equip
+ment and for its progressive manage
ment.
County jails are said to present, in
most cases, conditions of reasonable
comfort and good order, but the system
is condemned as expensive, illogical and
entirely lacking in reformatory influ-
ences. 1t is again urged that if all of
the iails were brought under the control
Of a state commission Of prisons great
| err economy of administration could be
classified in some rational fashion and
greater financial returns could be Sc
cured from their labors.

NEW HAVEN GAS LIGHT CO.
Trying to Save Coke to Sell it to the
Poor-Burning Tar.

The coal situation had not greatly
changed in this city yesterday. Assist
ant Superintendent Charles D. Sherman
Of the New Haven Gas Light company
stated yesterday afternoon that for the
last month they have stopped the de-
livery Of coke, and will only sell a
bushel at a time. From $50 to 200 people
a day get in line early in the morning
and purchase bushel a day, which
they carry home, some of them being
people we'll to do. In order to assist
the poor people by furnishing them
coke the gas company recently put in q
large tank which is filled with tar and
which runs through pipes to the retorts
and is burned in place of coke. This
saves them two-thirds of the coke they
formerly burned and they are able to
sell this amount to the public. The gas
works get at least one cargo of soft coal
a week. which is hardly enough but is
made to do. Superintendent Freeman
c. Sherman and his son, Charles D.
Sherman, his assistant, have done and
are doing all that is possible to assist
the poor people to obtain coke.

IS FISHERS BODY.
The Remains Found at Treats Woods
Yesterday identified.


Yesterday identified.
The body of Charles Fisher of this
city was found hanging to tree in
the dense woods Of Orange yesterday
morning by John Killnan of that town,
who was out hunting. The woods in
which the body was found are known
as Treats wood lot, which is about a
quarter of a mile from the home of
Clifford Treat, we'll known resident
of Orange.
The limb from which the body was
suspended was only six feet from the
ground. 1t had evidently been there for
about four days as the face was badly
discolored.
The right foot was on the ground,
while the other one was resting on O.
stone.
DR.. John r. Barnett, the medical eX-
aminer of the town, was summoned by
First Selectman E. G. Russell shortly
before o'clock and he arrived at the
scene about an hour later. The body
was identified as that of Charles Fish
er's, who has been missing from this
city for about a week. The identifica-
ton had been made by a son of the
dead man. He was employed at the
railroad shops and resided at 399 Con-
greSs avenue.

w. A. BRADY AND PRETTY PEGGY

William A. Brady, whose taste in the
matter of productions is we'll known, is
said to have had unusual opportunity
for giving vent to his imagination in
staging Pretty Peggy" for Grace
George. The piece begins at circus
performance, goes to the green room Of
Covent Garden theater, thence to a we'd
ding feast and finally to the boards of
the old playhouse. The chance for va
riety and beauty of costuming may
easily be understood. In the second act
of the play Mr.. Brady is declared to
have secured harmony of nearly
eighty colors, this variegation being
spread over the coats Of British army
officers, the gowns and knickerbockers
of court ladies and gentlemen, the
doublets of the players, the eccentric
garb of the litteratti and the palmer
dress of the servants. The scene should
be a brilliant one and has occasioned
much comment.
