Thought It Was Mott.

When Judge Warren Foster came back
to the bench after his vacation he was
not aware that Mr.. Jerome had added to
his staff deputy assistant by the namo
OF Mott. case came up before the
court. in which Mr.. Mott represented the
district attorneys office. The assistant i'm
the preceding ease was Mr.. Krotcl. When
the clerk of the court called the title of
the case Judge Foster asked:
''Is Mr., Krotel the assistant in this
case?"
II think Mott" replied the clerk.
but don't you know whether it Is Mr..
Krotel or not?' asked the court.
Il said thought Mott" answered the
clerk,
but are you not sure?"
''Yes, | am sure ii Is Mott
The judge looked at the clerk in amaze
ment
Then If you are sure It is not--what
are you talking about? / trust you are
not trying to make sport of the court. +"
and Judge Fosters savel beat the bench
neryously.
~ certainly was not your honor l
thought it was Mott. Now | am sure IL
is Mott, for have just looked at the pa.
pers."
What might have burst from the court
then can only be conjectured, for at the
explosive moment MIR. Mott came for
ward and explained the situation to the
judge.-New York Times.

TELEPHONE COMPANY

Makes Important Announcement
Phones at Exceedingly Reasonable
Rates.
The Southern New England Tele-
phone company announces substantial
reductions in it's night rates and special
inducements to subscribers which the
busy people of this sections should not
fail to investigate, as a thorough inVes-
tigation will convince every man that
the company is extending opportunities
which are indisputably reasonable and
decidedly valuable. For seven cents
per day the company will furnish a
telephone to subscriber and place the
phone in Immediately so that the sub
scriber's name will appear In the Jan
uary list
The company, with home offices at
11S Court street, has equipped a sys-
tenn which in all it's ramifications is I'M
surpassed in it's efficiency and COM
pleteness, and the offer extended to
new subscribers is in keeping with the
company's progress.
The people of the east, with all their
prOgressiveness, do not seem to realize
the benefit of modern inventions. nor do
they adopt them as quickly as the peo-
pie of the west and middle west. Take
the telephone, for instance. In some Of
the states bordering on and even west
of the Mississippi river nearly every
house has a telephone. 1t is regarded
as a necessity, not as luxury, as many
in this section Of the country seem to
regard it. Where wires have not al
ready been stretched the barbed wire
of the fence is utilized for carrying the
vibrations of the voice from transmitter
to receiver.
If the telephone is such necessity
in that section of the country how much
more must it be in city like New Ha-
ven, where the social duties are so
much more exacting? The prices now
adays are not pruhibitive, as many i'm
agine, but are within the reach of even
people in moderate circumstances, and
at times the use of the instrument is
worth much more than the cost Of in
stallation or maintenance By telephone
a business man or housewife can order
supplies, make appointments, reserve
seats at the theater, call the doctor,

At ST. MARY,s CHURCH.

The interior of ST. Marys church pre-
scented an imposing sight yesterday
morning. The main decoration con-
sisted Of festoons of evergreen, which
hung from all parts of the building.
Father Lenihan delivered an impressive
and scholarly Christmas sermon. Open
ing with a historical sketch Of the diff
ferent religions to which mankind had
resorted before the coming Of Christ he
showed how the trend had been steadily
downward until it eliminated in the
unutterable wickedness and debauchery
of Rome at its height of power. Then
in a beautiful description Of the Nativ-
ity he pointed out the miracle Of faith
which had been wrought in the minds Of
the simple shepherds who had come fol-
lowing the star in the hope Of finding
prince and deliverer, and found instead
a child born lowler than the ordinary
sons of man. Father Lenihan con-
cluded by pointing out the small diff
Guilty in the way of accepting Christ for
the present age who have seen the
manifestation of His power compared
to that experienced by the untutored
shepherds who had nevertheless in
stantly recognized the divinity of the
helpless infant. The music was re-
markedly good and was enjoyed by an
unusually large congregation.

1t happened that a barrister was
cross examining a witness. and asked
/ him what his profession was. The wit

profession was that of an attorney.
You an attorney?'' rudely exclaimed
/ the barrister. Why. could put you
in my pocket
Very probably" answered the
dwarf. land if you did, you would have
more law in your pocket than you have
in your head"
A dwarf named Ramus had great
learning and accompanied the English
ambassador to Vienna, where he made
a speech in Latin concerning the rights
if the King of Bohemia before his i'm
perial majesty. The speaker showed SO
much eloquence and learning that the
emperor bestowed upon him a hand
some medal.
Alexander the Great was very short
man and had in his court Philetas, a
dwarf poet who, 1t is said, was so
small that he carried pieces Of lead in
his pocket to prevent himself from be-
ing blown away by the wind. This
same dwarf was made preceptor to
Ptolemy philosophers.
The celebrated Tom Thumb, Jr., for
years ago there was another of the
same NAME was one of the most re-
nowned dwarfs, not for his learning or
accomplishments, but for his extensive
travel and the large fortune which he
amassed. In Europe alone he is said to
have made $750,000.
In 1874 a carriage, suitable to his di-
mansions, was built for him in London.
1t was twenty inches high and eleven
inches wide. The body was bright blue
and the wheels were blue and red. 1t
was decorated and cushioned in the
richest style. On the door panels were
emblazoned the goddess Of liberty and
Britannia-the British lion and the
American eagle. This carriage was
drawn by pair of Shetland ponies and
two lads acted as driver and footrnan.
These wore liveries of sky blue, trim
med with silver and cooked hats and
wigs, and thus attended Tom Thumb

At CALVARY BAPTIST HOME.


The era of peace and good will was
celebrated in substantial manner at
the Calvary Baptist Home yesterday
Good cheer in the form of an old fash
toned Christmas dinner was, provided
for the inmates of the home, The
members all did ample justice to the
bountiful spread and the effects of the
roast turkey, cranberry sauce, plum
pudding had hardly worn off when the
jovial throng began to realize that the
limits Of the generosity of the manage
ment had not yet been reached. This
became apparent to all when they were
ushered into the large hall after sup
per and had their eyes gladdened by
the sight of a brilliantly Illuminated
Christmas tree fairly bending under the
weight of stockings, nittens, handker-
chiefs and other useful articles galore.
There was enough to go around twice
over and the greater part Of the even
ing was spent by the men in receiving
presents as well as in listening to the
kindly and appropriate words of pre-
Sentation which accompanied each gift
from the genial Santa Claus.
After the needs of all hadl been at
tended to and the inmates had eaten
their fill of the candy, which was I'M
sparlngly distributed, Mrs. Charles Fl.
Fowler rendered several piano solos
which were applauded to the echo.
Some twenty odd visitors joined in the
merry makings and all reported the
evening an unqualified success. The
management wishes to extend their
heartiest thanks to the merchants and
friends of the institution who so gen.
erously contributed to the occasion.

AT SPRINGSIDE.

At the city and county institutions the
day was celebrated with elaborate gas
tromic programmes which delighted the
inmates and made the gastric juices CO.
piously flow. At Springside the Catholic
inmates attended high mass at which
they were treated to an uplifting mu-
steal surprise. The choir consisted of
twenty girls from st. Mary's church and
the sweetness of their rendition Of the
anthems and responses brought to mind
the proverbial angelic harmony Of the
day Following the religious exercises
the 1853 inmates sat down to a menu of
chicken, mashed potatoes. cranberries,
turnips, mince pie, coffee. candies, fruits
and cake. The menu was followed by a
distribution Of cigars to the male men,
bers.

The telephone subscribers of Connec-
ticut talk about 10000 times a day with
subscribers of their own exchanges and
about 10000 times day with subscrib-
ers Of other exchanges. This remarka-
Bile use of the telephone between cities
and towns is due to the fact that sub
scribers have found that it is much
more satisfactory to telephone than to
travel; many wearisome journeys are
saved by the telephone. You seldom
hear of a travelling man going to see a
customer nowadays without first cali
ing him up on the telephone and MAX
ing an appointment
The Southern New England Tele-
phone company is one of the most up
to-date, well-equipped systems in the
country, with metallic circuits and long
distance connections. 1t keeps up with
the times by putting it's wires under
ground through the city and is thus able
to give excellent service in all kinds Of
weather.
The Bridgeport exchange will soon
occupy the new modern ffreproof build
ing opposite the present quarters on
Fairfield avenue, where new apparatus,
combining all the modern features of
telephone, will be installed. The new
and fine additional building Of the COM
pany in this city is another evidence of,
the company's progressiveness.
An immediate order for a telephone
will place the subscribers name in the
new quarterly directory going to press
January /. A letter or telephone call
to the local exchange will bring rep
resentative of the company, who will
quote several prices for different plans
of service. The prices are very favora-
BILE in all respects, and in some of the
plans are very low. considering the
amount of service given.

SNOW ADDED 4 PICTURESQUE

How Christmas Was Observed at the

N. H. HospitaI-PostoIice Employees
Happily ReIieved-santa Claus at the
HospItnEs-TrOIIey Umimpeded.
The storm prophesied by the weather
bureau arrived on time yesterday. It
dispelled the clarity of the atmosphere
that prevailed for few days preceding.
1t also interfered somewhat with the
attendance at the churches. About
four inches Of snow had fallen, but as
the temperature was about normal and
the snow soft and clinging, hugging the
tree trunks and branches, clothing the
stills and cornices of the dwelling in the
residential districts with a frigid aque-
GUS white, the day unfolded to the eye
a scene Of old fashioned Christmas love-
illness and peace.
