A SINGULAR EXPERIENCE.

tsI had a singular experience 1n d car during the busy hour yesterday, said a woman. "The car was pack ed. Soon after I had secured a strap 1 noticed one of my sex looking at me intently. We were so close to each other that our skirts became entan- gled. ssFinalIy she asked me if I would let her hold my hand. The woman's appearance, voice and manner indi- cated refinement. There was nothing, however, in her face to suggest that she was i'll.
 'I am a believer in the apostolic in- Junction about entertaining strang- CTS, although my experience in that re spect has never developed an angel: I readily assented to the woman's re- quest. She rested her hand in mine in gentle way.
 "As soon as I recovered from my surprise I asked her if she as i'll, or apprehensive of any danger She said no. At the same time she looked at me in a pleading manner. The more noticed her the more I as impressed with her beauty and bearing.
 "Just before I reached the point where I was to transfer told her I should have to leave her and asked if l could be of any service by re- questing the conductor to look out her. She thanked me and declined.
 ''As 1 turned to go she said to me in a very sweet way.
 You must think me very odd, but l have felt so depressed all the after noon without knowing why. It seem ed as if I must have some one to re- ly upon or I should give up. I do not know why. I searched the faces of many whom I met, but saw nothing in any which was satisfying until I saw yours. The moment you came in the car it seemed as if you were the one for whom I had been looking. l cannot explain it, but since you have permitted me to take your hand have become stronger. and the feel ing I have had is gone. How can l ever thank youg'
 After I had left her I remember ed that while I was out in the after noon the wish came to me to do some good for somebody on this particular afternoon. You will allow me to say that the desire was not unusual. But somehow on this particular afternoon l had not met the object which ap- pealed to me. and when I boarded the car 1t was with a feeling of dis appointment Then I met this woman If whom I have told you. That is the incident. Can you explain it?

 The Ladies' Aid society of the M. Mrs J. B. Fuller on Meadow street. After the business meeting refresh ments were served and a general good time enjoyed by all.
 Complaint is made that large num- Der of boys who ought to be home in bed are about the streets until late at night The parents of those boys should see that they remain at home nights or else request the police to keep them from lettering about street corners in the night time, for they are running their health and certainly not learning anything but what is bad for them by this practice.
 Thus far this winter has been q very open one and therefore one in which much outdoor work can be done. That this is so can be readily seen by gIancing at the new Congre- gational church or at the new Lilley block, both of which are regular bee hives as far as working goes. This is especially so at the new church, where the workmen are busily engaged in erecting the base of the steeple.
 George F. Lilley of Waterbury was in town yesterday in reference to the vote taken at the last meeting of the warden and burgesses requiring him to remove some two feet of his build ing that projects out over the street line. MT Lilley saw several of the burgesses and the borough attorney in regard to the matter, but no action will be taken until the next meeting of the board. which will be held next Tuesday evening.
 At St Francis church tomorrow morning at o'clock a months mind requiem high mass will be celebrated for the repose of the soul of tie late Mrs Mary Lynch.
 In the borough court this morning Ernest Packer. proprietor of saloon on Rubber avenue, and M. J. Ryan, proprietor of a saloon on Water street. were charged with illegal selling of liquor to minors.

MORTGAGE TAX.
Senator stranahan's Bill Discussed
 at Albany.

Albany
 ALBANY, N. r.. Jan. 15.-The Stran-. ahan mortgage tax bill will probably be amended in many important ret spects as a result of the joint hearing given by the senate and assembly com. mittees on taxation The members of the committee were impressed by the arguments made by the represents tives of cooperative building and loan associations and charitable and reli. gious organizations and may decide to exempt mortgages made by them. An effort will also be made to have insur. ance companies likewise exempted from the provisions of the law, and in his speech before the committee Sena. tor Grady paid a high tribute to life in surance companies and the benefits de- rived from their operation by the peo ple.
 almost every speaker had different amendment to propose, and all these amendments were handed to Senator Krum, who said that the committee would give due deliberation to each. From the tenor of the chairman's re- marks there seems to be no doubt but ludL tue mortgage tax Dlll or SeHdLOI Stranahan will go through, with but few changes in relation to exemptions. ''The consensus of opinion,' said Sem ator Krun, lis that the bill is a good one and ought to pass.''
 Senator Stranahan expressed himself as pleased with the results of the aft ernoon's work and said there seemed to be no reason to believe that the bill would fail to pass unchanged in any essential point. When asked regarding the assembly measure, which provides for tax of l per cent on mortgages and provides that one-third shall go to the state, one-third to the county and one-third to the city, town or village in which the mortgage is held, Senator Stranahan said that he had no inter- est in any bill but the one which he introduced himself and which contains the suggestions of Governor Odell.
 At the conclusion Senator Hill asked that the hearing be adjourned, but Senator Krum said that sufficient no- tice had been given of the present hearing. After the bill is reprinted, if applications are made, another hear ing may be given.

TIE HAVANA TRIALS.
Sensational Episode Between
 Rathbone and Reeves.
LATTER SAYS HIS CHIEF IS A LIAR.
Cuban Papers Speak Disparaging1y of Reeves Conduct During the Tria1-He Is an Enthusiastic
 Government Witness.

HAVANA, Jan. 15.-The examination general of posts of Cuba, was contin- ued yesterday, when the trial of the charges growing out of the Cuban postoffice frauds was resumed. Private correspondence between Rathbone and former Postmaster General Smith was introduced Rathbone said he did not take part in any campaign having for it's purpose his appointment as civil governor of Cuba. Some overzealous friends began one, but he did not in- dorse it and wrote to the president and postmaster general saying he did not want the position.
 The government introduced Charles F. w. Neely's letter, with petition to the president asking for the ap- pointment of Rathbone Rathbone said he did not know of it's existence until six weeks ago.
 A dramatic incident of the trial in the afternoon was the confronting of Rathbone with Reeves with regard to the statement Reeves alleges Rathbone made after Rathbone's return to the United States in November, 1899, and two months after the stamps were burned.
 When Reeves took the stand, Rath- bone was sitting opposite him. Reeves said that Rathbone told him that Nicely had arranged the matter with regard to the burning of the surcharged stamps, so that fraud would not be discovered Rathbone here asked Reeves if he was willing to swear to this statement Reeves replied, .ssYes," to which Rathbone said, God help youv'
 Reeves occupies himself during the trial with making copious notes. He is most enthusiastic witness for the government. La Lucha refers to him as unprepossessing, evasive and guard ed, apparently willfully stupid, and says he has inspired his listeners with the idea that he is trying to save himself, that he is unsatisfactory to the pur pose of the investigation and contra dictory.
 Rathbone admitted having received the letter from Nicely after his arrest. He said it was i'll answer to a cable gram he sent him to return when h. spector General Charles Burton report ed shortage in the postal accounts. On the bottom of this letter was writ ten, Destroy this letter.
