II her foot be large and firm,
II will grind you like a worm.

She will make her furry felt.
Figure full, luxurious. massive
You will soon be meek and passive

SHE DIDN'T LOVE HIM.
The Sad Ending Of a Lewistown Re

An incident which happens but sci.

gospel occurred to Rev. Father J. NJ.

the would-be groom.
After going through with the pre-
liminary parts OF the ceremony, the
priest asked the young lady il she
would take John - to be her law.

All of this time the groom was
standing near the altar rail with a
look of intense disappointment very

While oft the wicked proudly sway?
Why is the faith our mothers taught
Permitted to decay and die

rHE NEW HAVEN FIGHT.

At the adjournment of the state con- vention at the Hyperion theater the committee on credentials immediately held it's meeting in the parlor of the New Haven house. Ex-Governor Nor gan G. Bulkeley was chairman and Senator Frank L. Wilcox, of Berlin, was secretary.
 The list of delegates was gone over and number of proxies were read and accepted.
 When the list of New Haven dele gates was read Captain Ernest L. Isbell arose and entered a protest. The com mittee then decided to hear the protest. Captain Isbell and City Attorney How ard c. Webb represented the remon- strants, while Corporation Counsel Daggett and Assistant Corporation Counsel Jacob Ullman represented the regular delegation.
 The time from about Ii o'clock last night up to after ? o'clock this morning was taken up in hearing the testimony which was practically the same as that which was presented at the town con vention, and which has been previously | puDnSneQ.
 At about 2:SO o'clock the arguments were concluded. Captain Isbell made the opening argument, which lasted ter minutes. He was followed by Attorney Jacob B. U1lman, who also spoke ter minutes. Corporation Counsel Daggeti then spoke for ten minutes and Captain Isbell closed the debate with another address of ten minutes.
 The committee then (about o'clock, took the matter under consideration
 and in about one minute decided unan l imously in favor of Colonel l. NJ. Ull' mans delegation, as against the dele Igation presented by Captain Isbell. l is not known whether Captain Isbel

advance along the roads to the flank either at Liao Yang or Mukden. The territory between the main road to Feng Wang Cheng and the River Tayang has been penetrated by such a'stroas of Japanese as to lead to the sugges- ton that another army has landed at Takushan, of which the outside world has not heard of before.
 The people naturally wish for more details concerning the re-establishment of communication with Port Arthur All they know definitely is that the rail- road has been repaired and that at five o'clock yesterday afternoon the first dispatch passed over the reconstructed telegraph lines. There probably have been some fighting, but whether with Japanese vessels of with the troops north of Pitsewo is not known, nor have the whereabouts of the Japanese landed on the southern part of the Liao Tung peninsula been definitely established. It | is safe to say. however, that no en- gagement of i'm portance has occurred in order to re-establish communication. Undoubtedly news of such victory would promptly be made public, owing | to the state of the temper of the peo- pie tonight. All impatience arising from General Kurpatkin's gradual with drawal has disappeared.
 The Japanese, seeing that the with Idrawal was thorough, and with the care lthat has distinguished their past opera tions, making sure that no Russians were left behind, cut the vital line of communication.
 | The Japanese division operating May 5 and May east of Tayangho must not be confused with the army at Pitsewo,
 because the latter debarked on May 6.
 If a .hird army had landed at Taku- lshan it could have moved to Feng lWang Cheng and fianked the Russians in case General Kuroki had encountered
 strong opposition. The suggestion of
 another debarkation is generally dis Icredited. The force, acting indepen-
 dently is believed to be attached to

 The Associated Press was authorita- lively informed to-day that there is absolutely no intention on the part of lVice Admiral Skyrdloff to order an at tempt to make junction with the Port Arthur fleet. The squadron will use Yladivostok as a base for raids, but will be preserved intact until the Baltic fleet arrives in the Pacific. when it will proceed to sea and report to Rear Ad- nliral Rojetvensky at a certain deter mined point.
 , Tie Associated Press is further in formed that the garrison at Port Ar thar is stronger than heretofore has been stated.
 There is no reason to keep the strength of the garrison at Port Ar thur secret said the informant of The Associated Press. 'The Japanese know | it because of their perfect information. We have 10000 and 10000 sailors there. Tie latter will not be used on the for t!heations except as last extremity. The Japanese will not obtain possession of our fleet even if they capture Port Arthur. The orders to the commander there are that he shall when a fall is inevitable. put to sea and engage the enemy. We do not propose for the Japanese to find in the harbor a num- Der of valuable warships which they can add to their fleet. Moreover, in battle the Japanese will suffer as well as our ships, and those of the latter which do not escape will go down to the hottom.''
