ATTORNEY KDNNBDY's GIFT.
Received Gold Watch and Chain From
 Ansonia Men.


 Attorney Kennedy of Naugatuck has been the recipient of splendid testi- montal of good will. At a political meeting of the democratic leaders and workers in Ansonla last Saturday even. ing he was presented with beautiful gold watch bearing this inscription:
 Presented to William Kennedy by lodges 362 and 380 of the International Association of Machinists, Carpenters and Patternmakers of Ansonia, Octo- Der, 1903" s..
 This testimonial was in recognition of legal services rendered by MT Ken nedy to the machinists' union of An sonia during the time of the machin- ists' strike in that city, some years ago. It will be- recalled that Mayor Char ters and half dozen officers of the Machinists,' Carpenters and Pattern makers unions were arrested for con spiracy to injure the Farrel Foundry & Machine Go, and that MT Kennedy represented them during all that con- tention. He charged nothing for his services and would not accept any monetary consideration, notwithstand- ing that the. nature of the work he did for his clients was of the most ardu- ous and exhaustive character. The cases were finally nolled. The unions then took this means of showing their appreciation of MT Kennedy's services. The presenta tion was made by Mayor Charters. The gift of the watch was accompanied by a chain and handsome charm bearing the seal of the Knights of Columbus.

DEPoPULATloN OF FRANCE
Various Measures Advocated to Cheek
 GFoWinq Evil.

London. Nov. B. = The Paris core spondent of the Times says the falling off in the number of French recruits this year by 34,oO0 draws attention to the depopulation of the country.
 Parties in France, says the corre- spondent, long ago endeayored to make political capital out of this question. Under the second empire the Republic ans attributed the stagnation in the birth rate to the imperial form of gov ernment and declared it would rise rap idly under republic, which led a wit ty writer to remark sarcastically that the Republicans had better change their motto to "Liberte, egaIite, mater nite."
 Now an extra parliamentary commits sion advocates reforms calculated to tighten the burdens of the parents of large families improved sanitation in order to reduce infant mortality, obIi- gatory naturalization and a revision of the law Of inheritance diminishing the portion left to an only child, together with moral suasion and a propaganda to deter the peasantry from docking to the towns.

ACTORS PICTURE IN A CoNvEN T

Mark Smith, who died the other day,
was one of the few actors, and prob
ably the only comic opera singer, whose
photograph ever adorned the dressing
table of convent girls "cubicle.'
The way the popular actors counter
felt presentment once occupied such
position of distinction was thus She
was about 10 at the time he was sing
ing IN "Erminie." He was one OF the
two gay tramps. Francis Wilson was
the other. Every little convent girl who
came down from Manhattanville for q
holiday went to see "Erminie,' and
most of them succumbed to the devil
may-care fascination Of the tall and
agile Mark.
one day one of the girls came back TO
the convent after the Christmas holiday
with photograph of the actor In her
satchel. She showed It TO the other
girls who said enviously and regretful-
iya "You can't keepJt. They will know
your father isn't as young az that, or
your brother as old. Oh, isn't he hand
| somel"
But May did keep him. She put him
| on ner dressing table--she couldn't put
| him ir the frame of her mirror, because
| there were. supposedly. no mirrors In
| the convent-and there he stayed. The
| other girls didn't understand II until
| one day they investigated and found
this ingenlousy ingenious Inscription
on rhe back of the photograph, writer

self:
"To my dear little niece, from Uncle

And that Is how II came about tina

main In the convent; but he neve
