LONG STANDING MORTGAGE
INTEREST PAID TO STATE FOR
 NINETY-TWO FEARS.
Sum About Four Times the Original Amount of the Loan-Existence of the Mortgage Not Discovered Until q Few Days Ago-COurts will be Asked to Adjust the Matter.

Willimantic, May 2.-The administra- tion of the estate of the late Samuel c. Perkins, well-to-do Philadelphia law yer, who had a summer residence at Windham Center, near this city, has led Ito the surprising discovery that for |ninety-two years interest has been paid to the state of Connecticut on a mort gage given by MT. Perkins father, and that the amount of interest thus paid is about four times the original amount of the loan. The mortgage was given in 1872 to cover a loan granted to Samuel Perkins from the state school fund, the loan amounting to $1,73S.34. In the fol-
 lowing year the face of the mortgage was reduced by payment of $500, and since that time interest at per cent
 has been paid regularly, the total pay ments aggregating s6,4O111.
 Why the loan was allowed to run for so long a period is mystery. The ex- istence of the mortgage was not discov- Iered until few days ago, when the ad- ministrator of the sons estate. desiring to sell for $2,50O a piece of land in Wind ham, looked up the records with view of giving deed. It was found that the estate of the elder Perkins was never settled in the probate court, so that no clear title to the property could be giv- en. The matter will now be taken into court in the shape of foreclosure pro-
 ceedings to secure the title.

 City.

Waterbury, May 2.-At the meeting of the Central Labor union tonight the strike of the carpenters in this. city was officially indorsed in an enthusiastic meeting of the members.

RUSSIAN PUBLIC IS
 NOW AT FEVER HEAT
ANXIOUS FORFURTHER DETAILS
 OF LAND FIGHTING.

Wild Rumors in CircuIation-Report
 That General SassuIitch Will be
 Martfaled-AnOther That His
 Casualties Amounted to 2,OOO-FOg
 Twice Spared VIadIvostOk Squadron
 Fight-Japanese Fleet Passed It
 Going and Coming but Could Not Get
 at It.
 St. Petersburg, May s-4 a. m.-The interest of the public in the news of the fighting on the Yalu is at fever heat, especially since the last official report, which announced the fighting at Chin Cow, was given out. To the gen. eral disappointment no further tele- grams from General Kuropatkin have been published by the war commission, nor will the censor pass press dis patches wired from the front.
 The absence of news led to the cir culation of wild rumors. For instance. it was reported that General Sassulitch would be relieved of his command and court-martialed for making too strenuous stand on the right bank of the Yalu. As a matter of fact, while l the war office is surprised at the resist ance made by General Sassulitch, { telegram from General Kuropatkin to the emperor on April 26 announced that \ General Sassulitch, in view of the prep arations which the Japanese were mak- I ing to cross the Value. had begun to reinforce his troops on the Manchurian z bank.
 X Another report says that the war of \ flee has been informed that the Russian < casualties numbered two thousand. < Should this be true it can be accepted as certainty that the Russian plan of operations never contemplated such a sacrifice.
 In view of the cautious advance of the Japanese, it is not expected that they will quickly follow up Sassulitch, but will take a few days in getting the remainder of their troops and supplies Eacross the river and in clearing the [country of Russian attachments in or der that their communications may not be exposed to attack.

 While Kaminura was steaming north the first time he passed the Russian squadron bound south on the raid to I5ensan, which resulted in the sinking bf the Japanese merchant steamer .5oyo Maru and the transport Kinshiu Maru. The Japanese and the Russian Bquadrons must have passed very close o each other, for the Japanese were conscious of the presence of the enemy.
 When Kamimura was compelled to Suspend his attack upon vladivostok he noved to the southward and again passed the Russians on their way north kfter the Gensan raid.
 As soon as Kamimura returned to the yorean coast he learned that the Kin
 hiu Maru was missing and immediate y returned to the north to search and pursue it. He found three boats be- pnging to the Kinshiu Maru floating at lea. He then detached some cruisers rom his squadron and ordered search certain inlets in the vicinity of Nan Iva. These vessels discovered some Russian mines at Izumi. The Japanese .jruisers exploded the mines.
 \ Vice-Admiral Kamimura closes his seport by saying that the continuance If the fog since Thursday has prevent Ad a renewal of the attack.

SEASON ENJOYED IN AMERIcus

With yesterdays dawn Americas
people, in common with Others, bid
adieu to the holiday season and
turned TO other matters more material.
The holidays were enjoyed bore TO
the fullest extent; there was little to
mar and much to make glad, and no
one can recall a Christmas season
here more pleasantly spent, or marked
by more golden deeds of charity.
OF all the worlds holidays 1t Is the
most beautiful, and more universally
observed. 1t is a season that reaches
and touches us ala season that
exal and strengthens the more
dlvinely human qualities
The ties Of friendship and love and
sympathy are made stronger, affec-
tions are intensified, and to the
thoughtful mind there is at least for
the momenta clearer vision of better
things, of the ideal life What world
of melody in the chorus of friendships
salutations, affections greetings, the
cheerful and cheering expressions of
love, sympathy and good Will. At
Christmas all the world is akin.
There is no real pleasure that is
purely selfish. Pleasure comes largely
through giving pleasure to others.
| There is no individual independence
in the world. We depend upon each
other for many things-for friendship
and affection and sympathy and ap-
probation and aid-for the sustaining
words of comfort and cheer when the
clouds hang low, when the gloom OPP
presses ard the darkness seems about
to envelop us,
Each has its own sorrows-the most
envied may have the deeper. Such
incentive to cheerfulness, such en-
enlargement of joy as one can give,
let him give.
It is now the right time to take an
inventory of the heart-to clean it as
much as may be of littleness and
selfshness and hsrshness, of misery
and meanness and mischief, of those
faults that mar what otherwise NIGH
be beautiful life
Some who were with us a year agC
we shall see no more We shall no
look upon their faces or hear their
voices again. Some among US will no
be here when Christmas comes again
"ro the past go more dear faces ever,
year" Who among US has no regrets
that he was not more Thoughtful anC
considerate, more outwardly apprecia
tive of the friendship of the friend
who are gone?
| Who of us does not "sigh for th!
touch of vanished hand, for tn
sound of voice that is still?"
