ORPHAN ASYLUM.
Afessrs Atwood and Doran Think Such
an Institution Is Needed.


There is a good deal OF talk about
making an effort to establish an or
phan asylum in Waterbury and it
looks as if all it needs to make sue
cess of it is for the right parties to
take the initiative. Talking about the
matter to-day, Ell. w. Atwood of the
town store said that while he had very
little, money above his needs he should
gladly donate $50 to a fund for that
purpose. Mr. Atwood said he thought
there is not town in Connecticut that
feels the need of such an institution as
keenly as Waterbury does. I'VE see
instances of it," he said, almost every
day, and it is a mystery to me and 9TH
ers who come in daily contact with
children who have nobody to care for
them that somebody has not taken
hold of this long ago. Mr. Doran and
myself talked this matter over yester-
day and he is very much in favor of it.
If we had home here where children
could be cared for l know 1t would be
appreciated. 1 should not want any
thing sectarian about 1t. My idea
would be to have the doors wide open
to duly accredited representatives of
the different denominations so that
children, no matter what creed they
professed, could receive religious in
struction from time to time from their
spiritual advisers. Many would like
to send children who would be willing
to pay for them, and in this way the
institution would be able to look out
for those who had no means The
first step is to get money enough to
buy a suitable site and If we had that
it might encourage people to help make
up enough to put up a building and
leave a little for maintenance We
have a large numberesof wealthy men
and women in Waterbury and know
of no way in which they could do more
good for humanity than by assisting
in establishing an orphan asylum in
! Waterbury,"
Several others have been seen on the
| question and all claimed that we
| should have some such institution in
town, but so far as could be learned
nothing definite has as yet been done
towards holding meeting to discuss
the question.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-R. G.. Dun s.
Co.'S weekly review OF trade says:
Lower prices for railway stocks than
at any time since last March do not
necessarily indicate loss Of traffic or q
setback in business. On the contrary,
coincident with the collapse Of the
stock market there were numerous ey-
licences that manufacturing and trans

plants and equipment are now Of great

Distribution of merchandise is fully

complaints of tardy deliveries testify
to the heavy consumption. Prospects

An indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 30, says;
The wholesale robbery of graves in
the cemeteries about indianapolis was
brought TO a close early today by the
arrest of n gang of seven negroes.
Warrants were also issued today for a
prominent physician, the demonstration
of anatomy of u local medical college,
in which two stolen bodies were found
about ten days ago, an inferno in the
college, and the white %janitor of the
college.
Rufus Cantrell, one Of the negroes,
made a complete confession, and inn
plicated others. He said the physician
accompanied the negroes o. several of
the grave robbing expeditions.
The police say the operations Of the
gang were on n larger scale than any
gang ever in the state. Upwards of 100
graves, 1t is said, have been robbed by
the ghouls during the last three months.
The detectives say the negroes were
armed with s%hotguns and equipped with
horses and wagons with which to 90 the
work.
The bodies were sold to different col
leges. which opened their winter terms
within the last week.
The revelations made, the detectives
say, are not only astounding but hor-
rifying.

cess. The promise in her first book
has been more than realized In "Jez-
ebel," a work of singular power and
insight. 1t Is a Biblical tale of the
days when Omri and Ahab were
kings OF Israel and Elijah was a
prophet of Jehovah. Ahab, the Is-
r%aelite, takes to wife Jezebel, the
worshiper OF Baal. When Ahab
comes to the throne and Jezebel sets
up the worship of Baal. the prophets
and believers of Israel are incensed
against the queen. and Jezebel be-
gins a fierce persecution OF her enc
mics. This contest Is the chief mo.
tive of the story.
Miss McLaws has e~ndeavored to
throw new light upon the character
OF Jezebel, and. while she does not
depart from the Biblical account, she
surely presents this strong-willed.
beautiful queen In a somewhat novel
and striking manner. We get
glimpses Of Jezebel the woman as
well as Jezebel the queen, and 1t Is
as a woman with warm passions and
Jealous instincts that Jezebel is
most and best portrayed.
The book is replete with dramatic
situations. the action is rapid and

Both Of them had filled their capa-

They broke two Of the rifles because
they could not carry them and
strapped the others on their backs.

M~etlakahlan friends, who no doubt

their home on the island. After wan
dering three or four hours into the
forest and being completely ex-
hausted, the two fugitives rolled
themselves in their blankets and
slept. They dared not build q fire,
for IL might attract the attention Of
their pursuers.
When day dawned they made a
breakfast on some Of the dried moose
they had brought with them and pre-
pared to resume their journey. They
discovered that they were gradually
ascending a mountain side. On all
sides of them were forests of scraggy
spruce, the trees seldom being over
five or six inches in diameter, and
ferns and other forms Of plant life
were occasionally noted.
At last they came to a great cleft
between gigantic snow-robed noun.

The first night after they began
their ascent they camped on the
mountain side near a spring and
spread their blankets under the lee of
a large bowlder.

of Paul Miller, but his companion, who
had been deceived and cheated so

Higher they climbed. up, up and up,
approaching on the mountain side the
line Of eternal snow. A few hundred
yards more Of climbing brought them
to the summit of the divide, where
there was a pile Of stones which
seemed to have been placed there by
human hands. No life Of any kind
was visible, unless that white speck
on the distant ledge be q dog or q
goat.
