WATERyILL.E.
Extremely Sad Case of Destitution ... Discovered in the Willie.

.. Discovered in the 'Ville.
 One of the saddest affairs of its kind happened to one of Watervilles citizens Saturday evening, one that the board of charities ought to inves- tigate. A mother with her three weeks old babe walked the streets at midn1ght, trying to find a place for herself and baby to spend the night. It was reported that the husband had a rent on the east side of the town, but when the furniture reached the house the landlord refused to let it be put in the house, making the state ment that be was not aware that the house was rented to the parties in question. This case has caused pub lie feeling and the proper parties should look into the case. It is time some of this kind of work is stopped, as the father of the child spent his time around barrooms when he should be looking after his wife and baby Another case of this kind happened a few days ago The sooner these cases are looked after the better it will be for the community at large.

THE THEATERS
WATER WOULDN'T ANSWER.
Kentuckians Were Bound to Have Their Warship Properly
 Christened.

There are many superstitions in the minds of sailors about christening vessel. When the Kentucky was launched-and this is simply an illus tration of the point-tne Woman's Christian Temperance union succeeded in having the ship baptized with water instead of the usual bottle of cham pagne. But, at the same time, and in spite of the triumph of the temperance enthusiasts, a big delegation of Ken tuckians came to the launching to pay tribute to their native state, says the Philadelphia Record.
 The bottle of aqua pura was duly cracked over the Kentuclxy's bows, but as the big hulk slid down the ways hundreds of half-pint fiasks of good old Bourbon were yanked from hip pock- cts and hurled against the sides of the vessel. There was n great shattering of glass, and gallons of Kentucky whisky poured down her sides.
 Apropos of this well-remembered in- cident, Capt. J. c. Sanford, of the en- gineer corps, in charge of the Delaware river improvement, let drop a remark the other day to the effect that the government was about to have new dredge built to facilitate the work. Now, dredge is not a very imposing vessel, but 1t seems that the sailors superstition holds good, even in this humble case. What are you going to call herr" asked an inquisitive friend That's a secret" replied Capt. San ford. ''The dredge isn't under way yet, and the selection of name before the work of construction has actually be- gun is regarded in the navy as presag- ing bad luck"

Mrs. Anne NJ Weightman Walker
who by the terms of the will of her
father, the late William Weightman
Of Philadelphia. receives his vast for
tune Of $50,000O00 without condition,
ranks as one OF the richest women in
the world says the New York World.
AS surviving partner and sole heir she
will continue the enormous business
OF Powers & Weightman, with the
details Of which she Is thoroughly IA
miliar
Like her father, she makes every
minute count, and there Is not a de-
tail that escapes her observation.
Questions follow one another in rapid
succession when there is anything she
wants to know, and the men who have
been trained in the office OF the Pow
ers Weightman factories know that
their answer must be ready us soon as
the question Is asked. Mrs. Walker is
at her desk and actually at work when
the time check clock strikes 8. AS her
father was carried ON the payroll as a
chemist so is she numbered among
the salaried employees.
Hair OF red tinge is worn on the
top Of her head, waving over the tenn
pies and caught up behind the ears in
a coil Her eyes are blue and the ex-
preston Of her face is kindly. Her
nose is not pronounced feature. but
1t Is Individual in its length from the
bridge Of the eyes to Its rounded tin.
with just the faintest suggestion of
tilt Men and women who have known
her for years and have had business
and social relations with her say that
the occasions when she has shown any
mental perturbation are rare indeed.
Her laugh is a chuckIe that invites one
20 smile. 1t Is not the ripping mirth
OF the young woman, though the traces
Of dimples are discernable when the
lips are parted and the eyes twinkle
Ia merriment. The lips are as red as |
those OF schoolgirl, though AT times |
they are drawn out OF their rounded /
tullness by habit Mrs. Walker has Of
sompressing them when she IS think

lace IS the chin. 1t is almost mascu-
Inc In its squareness and gives an
lbrupt termination to the otherwise
