FLORENCE CROWLEY MISSING.
Wife Fears He May Have Been Killed
 or Wandered Away.

Bridgeport, Dec 26.-Had the earth swallowed up Florence Crowley, who was employed at the power station of the United Illuminating Go, he could not have disappeared more suddenly or completely than he did last Tues day night. He with his wife and children. lived at 21 Jones avenue. He had worked steadily for the United H. luminating Go for the past four months. During that time he had not drank, nor had he showed an inclina- ton to remain away from work. His work was securing the floors at the power stations and doing other clean ing.
 He left his work at the Congress street station last Tuesday night as usual, and at S:3O reported at the John street station for duty. It was stat cd that he seemed to be acting queer ly, and the foreman refused to allow him to work. He remained around for short time and then went away. It was supposed that he had returned to his home He was not seen again, though Mrs Crowley has made dilig- ent search for him.
 Yesterday she asked the aid of the police in finding him. He is 45 years of age, stoutIy built. about five feet three inches high. of dark complex ion, and has gray hair and nous tache. When he left home he was dressed in brown trousers, dark blue sweater with white edge. new shoes. and wore corduroy cap. He also had on dark blue overcoaf.
 Mrs Crowley fears that he has met with harm. either by wandering away and some accident befalling him. or that he has been the victim of foul pIay

YULETrDE AT WHITE HOUSE.

President and Mrs. Roosevelt Enter
 tain Personal Friends.
 WASHINGTON. Dec. 26.-Christmas at the White House was quiet day President Roosevelt's morning ride was abandoned that he might attend the funeral services of Mrs. Hoar. Prior to this he spent an hour at his desk.
 Santa Claus met with an accident just as he drove his reindeer over the White House. His pack burst open, and the contents fell pellmell down the chimneys.
 Theodore junior always receives a large number of guns. and this year was no exception, while Kermit, the bookworr1, was made happy by gener- ous additions to his library. Ethel had dolls galore, one especially interesting from the fact that it was one of the dolls at the recent charity doll show and the gift of Miss Wilson, daughter of the secretary of agriculture.
 The president and Mrs. Roosevelt had few personal friends with them at dinner at the White House.

DEAD IN A BACK YARD.
Woman Who Is Said to Have Had
Much Money and Jewelry.


 Much Money and Jewelry.
 New York, Dec 26.-A close inves- tiSation is being made into the death of Mrs Mary Reimer, widow, 45 years old, who has been found in the back yard of a tenement building in West Tooth street. where she lived. The woman is said to have had sev- eral thousand dollars on deposit in the banks and carried about with her a bag filled with jewelry. No trace of the bank books or valuabies can be found
 Persons in the building heard a noise of a falling body. but the cause was not discovered until several hours later when the woman was found dead in the areaway. Her skull was crushed and there were many marks upon the body evidently not caused by a. fall from the window of her flat. Four lodgers have been detained by the police, but all declare Mrs Reimer was absent when they went to bed, and believe she either committed sui eide Or fell from the roof while hunt Ing her pet cat.
 The woman's life has been some what of a mystery. She is known to have had 8 comfortable income but she never disclosed its source and had little in common with her neighbors.

CHRISTMAS.
How the Day Was Celebrated By w
 terbury People.

How the Day Was Celebrated By W
 terbury People.
 Christmas day i'll Waterbury wa$ observed in a manner which showsZ that its citizens can take advantageV of little relaxation and yet Eeepj within proper bounds. Considering the season, the weather was good and large numbers of people took adyan- tgae Of the occasion to make call upon old friends and acquaintances, so that many who had not met for months came together yesterday for an hour or two. There was a large attendance at the churches, in some cases the crowds being so great that one was lucky if he managed to get on the inside at all. Father Slocum's appear to the liquor dealers to close early had the desired effect. Some didn't open at all, others locked their doors early in the afternoon and dur ing the night so few were doing busi- ness that a man who would say few years ago such condition would obs tain in Waterbury at this time would be laughed at. It is long step in the way of reform in the morals of the community and shows how much good can be accomplished by aiming to direct the course of stream that is bound to go on through some chan nel regardless of consequences
 The Salvation Army fed several hundred people, young and old, and through their efforts many were made happy over Christmas. Things never looked brighter at the Brookside home. The dinner was all that could have been wished for. and Superintendent Moran, who looked on, says that so far as he could see the boarders have good appetites. Monday evening the Boys club will have Christmas tree exer- cises, where an interesting program will be rendered.
 MT Doran. superintendent of the town poor, was present and was very much pleased with the men. He says it was very happy Christmas at the Brookside home and that large num- bers of people helped to make it so
 There was very liberal display Of Christmas trees all over town, still the supply was far in excess of the de- mand with the result that some enter prising fellow must have hewn down acres of young trees with a view to of them in Waterbury has several hundred left over. The trou- ble with that business is that compe- tition is so brisk 1t is hard to get line on 1t. Dealers and private individuals order Christmas trees from farmers along in the fall and others get ont into the woods and cut down such trees as suit them and carry them away at first cost

RUBBER LDGs HHRB. roo.

One way of celebrating Christmas, which is becoming quite popular, judg- ing by some of the exhibitions of yes terday, consists in looking not wisely, but too often, upon the cup which cheers, but keeps you guessing. One man seen yesterday afternoon was doing considerable fancy skating in his efforts to keep from falling, de- scribing some interesting parabolic curves. He didn't get much sympathy from those who witnessed his continu- ous performance, one young fellow being unfeeling enough to shout, as the man wabbled about.
