s1iS Crowd In Attendance at the City

"A strange and wonderful curiosi- fy," was the comment which nearly every one of the hundreds of persons who paid visit to kraO, the missing link, one of the stellar attractions at Company G's fair, made OH his exit from the booth where hrao reigns su- preme. This strange creature who has a masculine looking, hair-coVered face. and the graceful body and boise of a woman, proved big draWllls card Krao was born in the Wilds oi Siam about 27 years ago. She has been exhibited ill all parts of the world. Attorney Charles Bauby, who is one of the hawkers in front ot Krao's booth. says that Krao has made a mistake in regard to her age and that she is only 16. He slvery positive in his assertion. The genial attorney. assisted by D. F. Lawlor, used their voices to good effect ill booming Krao last night. A numper of the local physicians examined the freak.

 These are only a few of the different attractions which drew over thou sand people to the military carnival at the City hall last night. Before the cpening of the carnival Company G, headed by the Waterbury Military band and Rube and his handsome auto, paraded about the principal streets in the center of the city Much red fire was burned.

 Anybody can buy for cash! That's easy" There's no special honor in tha fact that one can walk into a store lay down in cold cash the full price asked for an article and so become the possessor.

NO NEWS FROM DIVER

No news has as yet been received from or about John Dwyer, who mys- teriously disappeared from bis home. on Riverside street nearly two months ago. Diligent search has been made for him, but not the slightest bit of information has been received about him. It was reported to-day that he was in England and that he had writ ten home to his wife telling her of his presence there. When Mrs Dwyer was seen by a reporter to-day, she stated that the report was untrue. She had not received any word from her husband. She had various reports about where her husband was but on investigation the reports were found to be erroneous.

BANK IN TROUBLE.
Caused bv Bad Loans..Reeeiver Now i'm Charge.

New York, Feb 10.-By unanimous vote the directors of the Equitable National bank have decided to ask the controller of the currency for the appointment of receiver. The de- Isositors, according to the officials of the institution. will not lose cent, but the stockholders may lose more 4han 30 cents on the dollar on an az. gregate amount of between $3O,OOO and $4OOOO.
 The bank, situated in the dry goods district at Broadway and Elev- enth street, was organized only two years ago. Many changes have oc- cured in dts official roster and a few mouths ago C. R. Schultz was chosen president. He is the youngest head of national bank in the country.
 'The earning capacity will not meet the running expenses of the bank in hts present condition and will not warrant further continuance" said one of the directors. We have taken this action to avoid further loss. The depositors will be paid in full"
 The bank is capitalized at $20O,OO0, with claimed assets of S175,OO0 in eS- cess of deposits.
 Washington, Feb 1O.-The Equit- able National bank of New York city was closed tod day by direction Of the comptroller of the currency, and Ma tional Bank Examiner Edward Ridge ley has been appointed receiver.
 The failure of this bank Is due to bad loans and iniudlcious manage ment. The volume of business done by this bank has always been small and has decreased so greatly in the last few weeks that its failure is al most without significance. and in no way involves any other national banks It had practically no busi- ness with banks outside of New York

greater In this county than In Europe.
An expectation table" constructed
for the use of insurance companies In
New York and officially adopted by
that state shows that OF 100, 600 per-
sons aged ten years 746 died the
first year. OF the remainder 746 die
the next year. Following up the
deaths each year until all die it Is as
certain that the average age to which
a member of the 100, 900 group sur
wives is forty-eight aud seventeenths
years. Though many die sooner,
that is the expectation of life for
person at the aye of ten years. After
that they died more rapidly. At the
age of sixty years there are left ST.
oI7 OF the original 100, 900; at seven
ty-6ve years there are 26, 237; az
eighty, ID 474; at ninety, S47, and at
ninety five only three, and these die
in that year. According to this ex-
pectation tabl. not one person IN
100, 900 lives beyond ninety-five
years.
There are quite number of well
authenticated cases of persons living
several years beyond the century
mark, but every year beyond that
brings increasing infrmity and great
ly increased chances OF death. Prob
ABLY there have not been within the
historic period as many as a dozen
persons who have lived as long as
this New Jersey man. His name was
Noah Raby. He was born in North
Carolina and lived many years in
Virginia He served as a sailor on
the old Constitution and the Brandy
wine and was honorably discharged
from the navy In 1909 He fist saw
George Washington at public meet
ing at Yorktown, Va, and after
wards heard him speak at Portsmouth.
He smoked and chewed tobacco from
the time he was ten years old till his
death, and was a moderate drinker
all his life. He was never in love
but once and got over that attack by
going to sea. He never married.
His receipt for longevity consists Of
a serious OF don'ts " "If you want
to live to a good old age" he would
say, don't get married. don't ge,
scared, don't get worried. don't gel
too much work, don't get into fights,
and don't get drunk too often"

The Oldest Man.

A man died at Piscataway, N. J., a
few days ago who was probably the
oldest person In the world at the time
of his death. He was born on April
I, 1872, and would therefore have been
I32, years old had he lived till next
April /. The date of his birth was
established by documentary evidence
but 1t had been accepted as true for
many years past by those who knew
him, and he was able to recall so
many historical incidents which hap
pened considerably more than hum
bred years ago that there seemed to
be no doubt that he stated the date
truly.
The case will figure In the records
of longevity as one of the most re-
markable. Thsre have been hun
dreds probebly thousands, of instance
of persous passing the century mark
but the number of those who have
lived more than few years longer
than that Is small. The average du-
ration of human HE Is about thirty
three years, though It is somewhat

green,
Warmed by the sping's soft light,
Unless a snow storm comes along
To paint the whole thing white.

And freeze their waters stiff

With all your haIbingers;
But don't you come uni, So you bring
Your heavy wraps and furs.

UNKNOWN MAN.
How Mark Hanna Gained His
Wife.

Nearly thirty eight years ago Mark
Hanna was just starting on his bust
ness career as a grocer In Cleveland.
He was poor, plodding, and to the
casual observer a very every day sort
of young man. Daniel Rhoades was
one of the rich coal owners of the
State He had one daughter, Gussie,
the very idol OF his soul. Mrs.
Rho les her fond mother, was joint
idolater at the daughters shrine, and
the doting parents had dreamed OF a
rich, influential sutton, a splendid
marriage and a brilliant social career
for Gussie, when as usual, the unex-
pected happened. Gussie Rhoades
met and loved the obscure, poor
young man, Mark Hanna. Mr..
Rhoades was astounded when the
daring young grocer called upon him
and asked for the hand OF his daugh-
ter. He said mo" curtly and sharp
ly, and when he saw his daughter he
tried to scold her, but instead he took
her In his honest arms and begged
her not to think OF this unknown
man, Hanna"
Gussie Rhoades told her father,
with many reassuring embrace,
that she would never marry without
his consent, and she added: but,
papa dear. l shall never marry any
man but Mark Hanna"
Then she promised her father not
to see her lover or write to him for a
year at least. She kept her promise,
and in the course OF a few weeks, al
though she never audibly murmured.
and was sweetly gentle and loving to
all about her. she grew pale and wan.
She neither ate nor slept. The old
father was at his wits end. Some
one proposed foreign tour for that
change of scene which is supposed to
work wonders In heart affections, and,
presto at a few hours notice, father,
mother and daughter were on board
an Atlantic liner.
For nearly year the change Of
scene" prescription was faithfully
pursued and the patient, always
cheerfully submissive, gentle and
charming. obviously grew Trailer day
by day. Almost in despair the old
man brought his child home again,
and one morning he gathered the
courage to ask her If she still cared
tor Mark Hanna.
why, father" she replied, u
she'll always love Mark; l told you
that, you know, year ago"
Poor old Uncle Dan" Rhoades
That was bitter day for him, but he
was equal to the occasion. Sending
for the obscure young man, he said
to him:
"Mr. Hanna, Gussie loves you,
that is my only reason for accepting
you as her future husband. You are
poor. III fix 1t so Gussie can live as
she has been accustomed to and l
suppose ! must see you marry her"
Now the coming young man cast
ever so slight shadow of his future
greatness on the opportunity OF the
present.
"Mr. Rhoades," said he, Il most
gratefully accept the gift OF your
daughters love. To marry her is for
this world to become paradise for
me. but can not make her my wife
unless she will be content to live as
my means will enable us. l can
neither accept aid nor permit my wife
to accept from any one"
So Mark Hanna and Gussie Rhoades
were married, and the bride went
from her iather's big house to live In
tiny little cottage, where with one
maid of-all-work she was as happy as
queen for some years.
