WILL TRANSFER THE PLANT
scovill Manufacturing Go WIN Absorb
the Matthews & Willard Co.


the Matthews & Willard Co.
Everything has been made ready to
transfer the entire plant of the Mat
theWS 6c Willard company to tue chs
tody of the Scovill Manufacturing Co.
1t develops now that the fight against
this proposition is not a new one or a
recent development of the trials of the
Matthews & Willard concern for it
seems the papers transferring The en-
tire plant were drawn up about two
months ago. The minority of the New.
York stockholders, it seemed were not
aware of this transaction, notwith-
standing that it was supposed TO be
legal In all its bearings, SO that when
they ascertained such course had
been taken they.at once undertook to
block the proposed transfer by petition
ing for receiver and having IN in
junction served upon the majority
stockholders restraining them from
further action in that direction. The
result of the petition for a receiver
has been already made public The
petition was denied.
The vote to transfer the entire stock
and plan TO the Scovill company to
discharge the latter's claim 70. $780,
900 was the end of a long series of
loans. Somehow the Matthews K VIII
lard concern could not get out of the
rut it has been in for years and in
consequence it's account at the bank
was always short on pay day and a
loan had to be obtained from the SEQ
Viii company to keep up the mask Of
prosperity.
Somehow, also, the company has
never made a staple article, and though
every effort possible was made to keep
up with the changes OF the market it
always fell behind. Some years ago
every one had to have any number of
brass lamps around his house. and
three or four years since every one
rode bicycle and had to have Ian
tern to keep within the law, law it
is now said that had more to do with
making wheeling unpopular than any
thing else. These articles by the thous-
ands were turned out by the Matthews
& Willard Co, but they also We're pro-
duced by other concerns. This concern
did not have its individuality stamped
upon any one article as other concerns
have and the result was inevitable, it
fell behind in the race of competition.
Its creditors, however, are not III. err
Gus. The principal one is the Scovill
company and 1t is the general i'm
preston of manufacturers that the
vote to transfer the stock OF the Mat
thews & Willard company will he
found to be legal by Judge Rorabach
next Friday.

DIssENsIoNs OF POLES
Polish Catholics IN New Britain Dis
agree in Church Matters.

agree in Church Matters.
There is fight on among the meme
bers of the Polish Roman Catholic
Church of the Sacred Heart in New
Britain and it is this fight that caused
the resignation of Rev L., Bojnowski,
the pastor. The fact that there were
internal discussions in the church
and that the pastor and his assistant
We're on opposite sides, was disclosed
yesterday when one of the factions
distributed handbills calling for q
meeting OF that faction in a hall near
the church last night. The assistant
priest, Rev e. Uminski has been
threatened with accommodation by
Bishop Tierney If he does not leave
there. He is still there and his fac
ton at the meeting last night decided
to support him. The trouble dates
back about six months, when Father
Uminski first came here from Poland.
He had known a number of the parish
toner's in New Britain when they lived
in Poland and they succeeded in get
ting Bishop Tierney to place him as
an assistant to Father Bojnowski Al
most as soon as he arrived, according
to Father Bojnowski, the assistant
priest began to complain about things
at the rectory. He did not like his
apartments and then he wanted his
salary increased Friction between
the two priests increased and finally
Father Uminski went to live with one
of his parishioners just across the
street from the church on Orange
street. Father Bojnowski complained
to the bishop and the latter Father
Uminski to leave New Britain at once
or else he would be communicated.
He is still there. u The members of the
church divided into Uminski and BOZ
nowsfSi factions and the quarrel has
been growing more bitter each day.
Father Bojnowski sent in his resigna-
tion from the parish in the hopes that
lit might settle the trouble, but 1t has
not done so and now he will probably
remain and fight it out If Bishop Tier
ney SO requests. The meeting last
night OF the sympathizers OF Father
Uminski was held in Lees hall on
Lafayette street and was attended by
about 200 persons. The proceedings
were continued in the Polish language
and no outsiders were admitted. 1T
was announced that those ait the meet
| ing had determined to stand by the as
sistant priest even to the extent of
starting a new parish IL necessary.
There are about 1000 members of the
church. which was small and weak
when Father Bojnowski went there.
He is now building a new church for
the parish on Broad street at a cost
of $65,OO0.

Manager Osgood Has Issued a State
ment in Repy to John w. Gates.
Denver Col, Aug 1S.--John j. Mitch
ell, John w. Gates and James A. Blair,
who are the proxy committee repre-
senting the owners of about four-fifths
of the capital stock of the Colorado
Fuel 81 Iron Co, have issued state-
ment in which they say they are not
opposed to the continuance Of Mr. Os-
goods management because they are
in favor of what is SAID to be his lib
eral Treatment Of the employees of the
company. They did not want to dis
turb the relations of the men with the
company. They also deny that the
company is to be sold out to the Unit
ed States Steel corporation and that
there is possibility of the works be-
ing closed. On the contrary they In
tend to expend large sums OF money
on improvements.
John @, Osgood has issued q state
ment in response to the one given out
by John w. Gates. He says:
will say now what have never
said to anyone before, that the begin
ming of Mr. Gates animosity toward
me was when I refused to join him
m selling out to the United States
Steel corporation. At that time he
told me, that if persisted he would
get even with me by ousting me from
the management of the Colorado Fuel
& Iron Co. The same gentlemen
who have affixed their names with Mr.
Gates to the statement told me at the
time that Gates was interested much
more in United States steel Than IN
the Colorado Fuel & Iron Co.. 81
"As to their dissatisfaction with
the management: AT dinner. given
by me at the University club last De-
cember, after a thorough examination
of the property, Messrs Mitchell, Blair
and Lambert stated in the presence Of
some of the most prominent business
men or the city that they were abso-
lutely satisfied with the management
and that they would make no change
If they could. No change has been
made in the character of the manage
ment since that time,

POULTRY POINTERS.

Never give poultry water in the morn
ing before feeding.
All the stimulants breeding fowls
need is wholesome food and drink in
proper quantities.
To fatten the cockerels rapidly, con-
fine them in close quarters and feed
cornmeal cooked in milk.
Short legged fowls fatten quickly.
Long legs are hard to fatten. Those
first Matched fatten quickest in a
brood.
Fowls seldom tire of milk. They
may eat too much grain or meat, but
milk in any form is palatable and
healthy.
The roosting poles should be on a
level with each other. This will pre-
vent the fowls all trying to roost on
the top perch.
A fowl or animal in which an excel
lence is constitutional is apt to trans.
NIT all this excellence in all the de-
veloped power and beauty to it's prog
eny.
In selecting for breeding the pullet
should be at least year younger than
the cock. This will conduce to the
strength and good health of the Off
spring.

A String to 1t.

Bridget and Norah Murphy, fresh
from Ellis island, had set out to make
their return calls" on their cousins,
the McGooligans, at service in an aris-
tocratic part Of the city. Upon arriv-
ing at the house, instead Of being con-
frOnted by the usual bell knob, nothing
but stingy, mean apology of a knob
in the shape of little black button
met them. Bridget got hold of the but
ton and gave it, pull, but her fingers
slipped before there was any audible
ring from within. Again and again she
tried with the same result, until she
turned the job over to "Nonie" Then
the latter yanked and twisted without
success, until both stood on the land
ing gazing helplessly at each other.
Then light came unto Bridget
'sI'u tell you phwat it u.s." she said.

DEER IN THE WOODS.
Their Appearance Deceives All but
the Old Hunter.

Their Appearance Deceives All but
the Old Hunter.
Next to the difficulty Of comprehend
ing the wonderful senses of the deer is
that Of understanding how one looks in
the woods. Your ideas are necessarily
taken from pictures or from stuffed
deer or tame ones in a park. You are
almost certain to be looking for deer,
whereas you might better be looking
for anything else. In the woods you
seldom see half of deer and generally
much less, often only a part Of the
shoulder, or only an ear over a log or a
leg under it, a bit Of rump projecting
from bush or head and bit of the
neck reaching up for leaves. The ar
cade Of maple lit up by the scarlet Of
the ginseng and bush cranberry, the
little arbor where the wild hop is yell
lowing over the thorn apples on which
half dozen ruffed grouse are taking
their breakfast, the edge of the pool
where the trout flashes through the
water over which the chelone is still
nodding, or the darksome glade where
the golden petals Of the witch hazel
are closing the floral march of the year
would all make lovely frames for that
charming artists deer with individual
hairs all glistening, the dark dew
claws shining, and even the split in the
hoof flashing artistic light from it's
edges. But the glittering tines, the
proud neck Of the sculptured war
horse, the shaggy chest and bullying
rump with tail full of shining hairs
are not there except at long intervals
when you may rout an old fool out of
bed and get him twisted. as to the
points Of the compass.-T. S. Van Dyke

4 HISTORIC STAGECoACH..
Preserved In the Postal Museum q
- 5s# the National CaDital

Preserved In the Postal Museum al
the National Capital.
One Of the most interesting relics of
obsolete postal service to be seen at
the museum in Washington, says the
Washington Post, is an old time Rocky
Mountain combination passenger and
mail coach, built in 1868. This was
among the first of it's kind to carry the
mails in Montana, the route Of this par
ticular coach being from Helena to
Bozeman, the trip consuming a week.
The residents along the same section
now receive four mails daily. The
coach was donated to the museum by
5. 5. Huntley, general manager of the
Yellowstone Park Transportation COM
pany. 1t was captured by Indians in
1877 and recaptured after a hot pur-
suit by General Howard. Many dis
tinguished persons have Travelled in it,
among them being General Garfield, be-
fore he was president; President Az
thur, on a visit to Montana in 1883,
and General Sherman, on a tour of in
spection in 1877. The latter was pas
senger when the coach made the dis
lance from Fort Ellis to Helena, 1O8
miles, in eight hours, six horses being
the team, with frequent relays.
This antiquated affair on wheels is
the simon pure, typical stagecoach of
the Beadle dime novel. The James
brothers and the Fords may have en-
riched themselves by looting this iden-
teal relic of the west. There are a
front and rear boot, the former, under
the drivers seat, being the repository
Of Uncle Sans mail bags, the rear boot
serving to carry baggage Heavy
leather springs and iron tires to the
wheels half, an inch thick enabled the
vehicle to withstand the rough usage
to which it was subjected. With ca
pacity inside for nine people, others
riding on top. and beside the driver,
with slots in the sides of the coach
through which rifles could be aimed, it
seemed evident that knight Of the
road had to be of reckless mold to
tackle one of these once a week Eek
presses"

= JUST AS WE ARE.
A Homeless Tot.

A homeless Tot. t.a-E
The world is full of shifting scenes in
comedy, tragedy and melodrama, but
we little note their passing and move
along at the rapid pace some crazy
goal seeking individual set long since
and all the rest of the poor mortals
have been following him. Some are
pessimistic enough to think that the
world is getting more neglectful and
selfish every day, but the record of
events will not bear the statement out
This may not be an age of "Love One
Another," but it is an age wherein the
great arms of Benevolence, Sympathy,
Charity, Pity and Relief are reaching
out to help some unfortunate being.
This was strongly exemplifed the
other evening. Aboard a north abound
train was one of those old-time mother
ly looking women. Her face showed
strong lines of goodness and sympathy.
She had with her a bright little lad of
perhaps eight years of age, and she
was taking him to a new home. She
was an agent of some orphanage or in
stitution for homeless children cast
upon the shores of the great wide world
by the angel of death and disaster, or
by some human hurricane that had
rent home asunder. The little lad was
plainly but neatly dressed and when
that woman spoke to him the voice
and the words were of the soul-making
kind. The little fellow seemed quiet
and contented. The world to him was
his immediate wants and surroundings
and his destiny was locked up in the
mysterious and unknown future. Pres
emily he fell asleep and his watchful
guide and protector tucked him in as
comfortably as possible on the car seat
and he slept as soundly as the little
comrades whom he had played with a
short time since, perhaps, and whose
mothers came each evening and tucked
them in bed and kissed them good
night.
This homeless boy was going to live
with some family who would agree to
properly care for him and to give him
a schooling. He may have had good
home where mothers face and voice
was fastened on his memory for all
eternity, and where a fathers home
coming at night was watched with boy
ish expectation. He may have had a
home where sin and vice reigned with
hellish glee and from whence love and
peace and contentment had fled.
Poor little unfortunate. Only one
out of many thousands to whom the
world is father and mother and home.
Humane men and women patrol the
dark and wild coasts of the world
watching for an opportunity to throw
out the life line and save at least the
destitute and suffering children.

The Blue Of the Sapphire,

The blue of the sapphire is seldom
pure or spread over the whole sub
stance Of the stone. Sometimes it is
mixed with black, which gives it an
inky appearance; sometimes with red,
which, although imperceptble by day
light, yet by artificial light gives it an
amethystine appearance. Two sap
phires which by daylight may appear
Of the same hue often differ extremely
in color at night. If the stone be held
in an ordinary pair Of forceps an inch
beneath the surface Of very clear wa
ter, the parts Of the stone colored and
uncolored will be distinctly apparent.
This remark applies to all other gems.
