Brigham Young, the Mormon apostle.
The killing took place in the very heart
of the crowded 'Tenderloin, the gay
est and cruelest portion of the city.
The respectable apartment house
where the young woman was killed was
also the home of several Mormon mis-
sionaries, who preach the Latter Day
Saints gospel in New York, polygamy
and all. The father of the murderer
himself had hired three apartments in
the place-rumor has it for three
wives who wish separate quarters.
And, strangest of the strange, under
the same roof lived three or four of
the brightest newspaper reporters in
New York, not one of whom suspected
the criminal, or, for that matter, had
so much as seen him-so little does the
New Yorker know of his neighbors.
1t needed but the hint of religious
mania suggested by the young mans
written notes of Scriptural passages
upon ''blood atonement' to set New
York shivering to stories of the aveng-
ing Danites and the Mountain Meadow
massacre. 1t would have taken little
to start panic fear of mysterious
murderers killing in the name of an
abhorrent creed. A big city likes
nothing SO well as a sensation with a
suggestion of superstition in it.

RECENT BURdLARIEs.

The recent burglaries which
have occurred in Florence leads
one to believe that from the nature
of the cases brought to notice that
some burglar has planted himself
right here in Florence to live off
an unsuspecting public, and that
he is carrying on successfully his
nefarious calling without inter
ruption from the police depart
ment.
OF course if the police knew
who was the perpetrator of these
acts they would certainly arrest
them. But do they work on the
proper theory? Do they investi-
gate suspicious characters who
lounge around on the streets with
out any visible signs of an honest
calling for livelihoodp
The person who burglarized the
Hoffman Bros bakery short
time ago was we'll acquainted with
the place and with the hours the
store is occupied. Likewise in the
case of the robbery of Lutes g.
Bradley's safe last night. 1t was
who was we'll acquainted with the
place and the firms business.
1t might be well to investigate
all suspicious characters lettering
around the town and see that
unless they have some way of
earning an honest living, they are
compelled to move on.

ArlERIcANs GREAT READERS

"The habit of reading lie becom-
ing national in this country"
writes Hamilton W. Mabie in his
Literary Talk in the March Ladies'
Home journal. There is a great
and increasing number of Ameri-
cans who read habitually for in
formation, for instruction and for
pleasure. And, with a few excep-
tions, this multitude of readers
selects good books; books which
have some striking quality of
thought or style or dramatic inter
est. Books which were widely
read twenty years ago would re-
ceive small attention today. The
readers of Hugh Wynne,' The
Cavalier The Choir Invisible
and The Ruling Passion would
hnd neither profit nor amusement
in many of the stories which were
popular twenty years ago. With
few exceptions the novels which
have reached sale of two or three
hundred thousand have been
wholesome in tone and many of
them have been excellent in form"

TWO PROPOSITIONS.
Investors Wish TO Locate in "Oil
City of West"

The proposition submitted by
the Colorado District Telegraph
company to the city council last
night, should be given careful
investigation before turned down.
This company is operating in Vic
tor, Cripple Greek, Colorado
Springs, Pueblo and Denver with
success and the people are well
pleased with it.
1t asks for the maintenance and
operation of its wires and system
in Florence for term of twenty
years; asks for the privilege of
stringing its wires on the same
poles used by the Western Union
people; give the city free service
in the city hall chamber and police
headquarters, as far as electric fire
alarm and call box service is con-
cerned; asks to put in an electric
telegraph fire alarm and messenger
call box system in the business
portion of the town and the mills
and smelters; in fact, wherever it
can get business; the call boxes
and fire alarm boxes to be placed
on the same poles. Boxes will be
put up for anybody who asks for
them, even if but two calls year
are made.
1t guarantees to have the work
commenced within thirty days
from granting of franchise and
completed in six months after
commencement. By this arrange
ment the Western Union will in
augurate an all night service here
Then, again, the Union Suit
Manufacturing company of Chica-
go asks a proposition from the city
to remove its present plant from
Chicago to Florence, The factory
employees from thirty to thirty five
people. This means that the mer-
chants will profit, owners of houses
will be benefited and tie town will
have another manufacturing esteb-
ishment.
This proposition will be laid
before one or two of the more
wealthy land owners with view
to securing site at reasonable
figure.
The Quick Time of Union Pacific.
For example, it saves you
whole day enroute Denver to San
Francisco, which means saving of

MORE SMALLPOX.
Three New Cases Have Been Re.
 ported Since Thursday
JOSEPH CHAPUT THE LATEST

 ease at East Clay Street This Morn'
 ing-He Was Removed to The Hos-
 pitaI for Smallpox Patients-Dia-
 mond, The Man First Stricken, Has
 Recovered And is Waiting to Shed
 All His Scales Before Being Re-
 leased.
 Joseph Chaput, 24 years old, who lives in the quarantined building at Il East Clay street, was found to be suf- fering from yarioloid to-day and the health officer had him removed to the isolation hospital. The family occupy the basement of tie building and young Chaput was q roommate or Henry Bessette, who was stricken with the disease some time ago, and who is now at the hospital. The fam flies in the upper part of the building were liberated this afternoon. Health Officer Kilmartin said today that Joseph Diamond the first of the small pox patients in Waterbury, is able to be about the hospital. but that the scabs have not yet healed on him, and that he cannot be discharged until he has got through sealing. It seeHs this is the most dangerous period of the sickness so far as spreading it is concerned.
 Two other cases of smallpox have been reported since Thursday and the patients removed to the isolation hos pital. One was Eva, the eleven years old daughter of MT and Mrs Henry La fiamme of Greenmount terrace, Ben Mohr, and the other q twenty eight years old man ill the Veayette family on the top floor of the Mccarthy block, on South Main street.
 To-day the four tenants on the second and third floors of the Me- Carthy block were discharged and the place thoroughly fumigated. Owing to the new case on the upper floor, the occupants of that part of the building will have to remain in for some time longer. The Wayside Inn boys and the tenants of the Lawlor and Brook buildings will be liberated next week.

Charles A. Jones Discovered Dead
 About 10:3O This Morning.
 Charles A. Jones was found dead in bed this morning at his home, 39 Hawkins street. MT Jones was for years an engineer on the Delaware and Hudson River road, and retired about six years ago because of an accident from which he never fully recovered. He was struck in the head with d crane and practically disabled. He came to Waterbury about three years ago. He was about the house yes terday and sat up late last evening listening to one of his sons reading the paper. He had not been in the habit of rising early so that no notice was taken of his absence from the break fast table this morning. About 10:3O o'clock his wife went into his room to call him for breakfast and after failing to receive any reply from him she mo- tified the family. A physician was called who said that ill his opinion the man had been dead about six hours. Medical Examiner AXtelle viewed the body and pronounced death due to heart failure Besides his widow Mr Jones leaves four sons and three daughters, Charles of Hartford, $.

FARRAGUT AND WISCONSIN.
Played War Last Night in San
 Diego Harbor.

Both Vessels Claim the Victory-The
 Battleship Turned Her Searchlight
 On the Torpedo Boat, But Not Soon
 Enough, Says the Managers of the
 Torpedo Boat.
 San Diego, Cal, March 29.-The tor pedo boat Earragut slipped out of the harbor last night with the design or technically torpedoing the big battle ship Wisconsin, lying at anchor off Coronado Beach. The Wisconsin had been notified that she might expect q visit from the destroyer. The condi- tions were that the Farragut must get within 1,500 yards of the battleship before the latter got searchlight oii her.
 When from 1000 to 500 yards from the battleship the latter's searchlights found the Farragut, and rocket pro- claimed the fact. Those on the Farra- gut claim that they won.
 On the Wisconsin. however, it was contended that q rocket which the lat ter sent up long before the destroyer was within 1.500 yards marked the discovery of the Farragut, but just why the searchlight was not turned on at that time is not explained.

Students From Tuskegee Are Bound
 for West Africa.

for West Africa.
 CHICAGO, March 29.-Dr. Edmund J. James, president elect of the North western university, has presented his first communication to the board Of trustees. On the subject of coeduca- tion he said in part:
 ..There are many signs of marked reaction in the public mind on the sub ject of coeducation. Friends of the movement may well view it with some concern. The tide seems in certain ways to have ebbed. A pronounced re- action has set in. Not only has the Sys- tenn ceased to make new converts, but there are indications that it is losing ground in the very territory which it had so completely won. A new period of questioning is upon us. A sort of vague prejudice has arisen in the coun- try at large which indicates new atti- tude of the public mind toward the whole problem. The system is attacked on new grounds and from new points of view.
 We are, moreover, not left to merely theoretical criticism and vague sugges- tion as to what the public sentiment is on the subject. This is evidenced in certain quarters by some very interest ing external signs.
 ''All these things and many others of like kind point to q serious crisis in the history of this movement, and it be hooyes those who believe ill coeduca- tion to study the system with all seri ousness. The grounds of discussion have changed entirely in the last gen eration. The old objections have lost their force, and entirely new ones are now to the front. The notion that wo- men are incapable of doing college work, so commonly urged a generation ago, has completely disappeared. The objection that young men and women cannot be trusted to observe proper re lations in their social intercourse has lost it's force i'll view of the plain fact that the moral tone of coeducational institutions is distinctly higher than that of the community at large and is certainly not inferior to that of schools for one sex alone.
 s.But, on the other hand, one hears oftener the claim that the increasing number of women tends to feminine the institutions where they are, ill some cases to such an extent as to diScour age the attendance of men, It is urged with increasing persistence that the so cial distractions and dissipations, witt their widening invasion of the serious purpose that should go with school life form a very serious problem, while others emphasize the fact that the broad difference in the future careers of the two sexes should find a more adequate recognition in the college curricula.' ~.~

Drew Large Crowd Again to
 Court Room To-Day.

Several Witnesses Testified in Favor

 Counsel Will Try to Prove That Con-

 Girl.
 Mount Holly, N. J., March 29.-The when the trial of Mrs Mabel Haines, charged with the murder of her ?, year-old step-daughter, Gwendolin, was resumed before Judge Garrison. The possibility of Mrs Haines going on the stand in her own defense increased the interest in the case and the expert testimony of yesterday which favored the accused woman, added to the popu- lar curiosity as to the result of the trial It is said to be the intention of the defense to try to prove to-day by it's experts that consumption was the cause of the child's death.
 Albert and Nellie Fenton of Pitts burg. brother and sister of Mrs Haines, man. Albert said that Gwendolin was known to have weak ankles and re- peatedly fell. He had never seen any bruises on the child's body and had seldom seen Mrs Haines punish Gwen dolin, except to occasionally slap her fingers.
 Nellie Fenton said she had never seen Gwendolin whipped. but had seen Mrs Haines make the child sit on a chair for punishment.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, March 29.- Henry A. Taylor, the young eastern capitalist, convicted of conspiracy to bribe in connection with a proposition to saddle upon this city a four million dollar water supply contract, appeared in the superior court to receive his sen tence. Judge Newnham imposed fine of $2,000, the maximum allowed by law, without Imprisonment. Taylor paid the fine and was discharged from custody. This disposes of three of the indictments in the water deal. Ex-City Attorney Lart K. Salisbury and Stilson V.
