NOUNS or MULTITUDE.
Many Ways of Expressing Number
Which Battle Children and
Foreigners.

What a bewi1dering number of
nouns of multitude we have in our Lam
guage!" remarked the literary man as
he sat yesterday in the Franklin Inn
club, says the Philadelphia Press.
'The other day the child Of friend of
mine illustrated this, AS well as the in
born cruelty of youth. He wanted TO
play a game.
$ All right said his mother. What
is the gamer
Why, you'll be poor, little, blind,
lame lamb and I'll be a flock of tigers
But why" continued the literary
man, was he wrong? Why should we
have to speak only of host of angels,
a shoal Of porpoises, herd OF buffa-
Ices. a troop of soldiers, a covey OF
cartridges, galaxy OF beauties. a
horde of ruffians, a heap Of rubbish, a
drove of oxen, mob of blackguards
a school of whales, a congregation of
Worshippers, a corps of engineers, q
band of robbers, swarm OF locusts
and crowd OF people?
II remember how a Frenchman, a
friend of mine, once pointed seward
and remarked: See what a flock oil
ships told him that flock of ships
was called a fleet, and added for his
guidance that "a flock of girls is called
bevy, that bevy Of wolves is called
pack, and that a pack OF thieves is
called a gang"

Destroyer F1otarla at oavste.

WASHINGTON. April 15.-The sec
Rotary of the navy has been informed
By cable of the arrival at Cavite of the
first torpedo Gotilia, consisting of the
torpedo boat destroyers Decatur, Balm
bridge, Barry, Dale and Chauncey, IN
Ger convoy OF the cruiser Buffalo, con-
Guiding cruise of nearly $4,000 miles.
This cruise covered period Of four
months and extended over halfway
around the globe, which is the longest
run ever made by vessels of this type.
The hotilla started from Hampton
Roads for the Philippine Islands on
Dec. IL last and made the trip without
an accident. This successful trip has
demonstrated that torpedo boats are
capable of long sea voyages under
their own steam, feat that formerly
was considered impossible. These
small vessels were sent to the Philip
pines to serve as the coast defense
squadron of the islands.

LAST STATE BUILDING.
Torrington Bids Were Opened But NO
Award Was Made.
(Special to Democrat.l

Washington, April 15.-The last of
the Connecticut buildings for which
plans have been finished under the APP
preparations of last year is the Tor
rington postoffice. The bids submitted
were opened few days ago, but no
award will be made for at least three
weeks. The supervising architect Of
the treasury department has called for
supplemental figures, and until they
are received nothing will be done. 1t
is not anticipated that there will be
the trouble in this case that there was
with the Meriden building, where all
the bids were rejected. and nothing
further has been done since. This was
because the people of Meriden asked
for a larger building 1t is understood
here that the citizens Of Torrington
are well pleased with their building,
and the delay is simply caused by the
regular routine procedure of the office
here.
The Torrington building is to be
erected on the southeast corner Of
Water and Prospect streets. The
architect of the treasury provide for q
building 48x68, one story and base
ment. The first story contains an Of
fee with private toilet for the post
master, commodtous lobby, and work
ing space of 1,670 square feet, provided
with vaults and toilet room. The base
ment contains, besides the boiler and
fuel rooms, swing room and toilet
room for carriers, reached by stair
from the work room. Limestone fac
ing will be used on the exterior to the
height of the first floor line, with dark
red brick above surmounted by terra
Gotta cornice. The roof will be of
black slate. The sum of $4,000 is the
amount appropriated for building and
site, of which about $35, 900 remains
for the building itself.
Congressman Hill has just an
nounced his appointments to the naval
academy at Annapolis. Mr. Hill has
two appointments this year, one being
the extra one from last year. He has
named as one of the principals Henry
Harris Berroll, son of Commander I'll.
fl. Berroll of the navy, of Norwalk.
For first alternate he has selected
Frank Robert Berg Of Bridgeport, and
for second alternate Leoanrd Jerome
Dibb1e of Bethel. The second princi-
pal named by Mr. Hill Is Henry Mar
Knight of Lakeville, and for alternate
lie HIS cuOSGu -
Bridgeport. Both will enter the acad-
envy this summer.
The senate has passed the bill grant
ing a pension of $12 per month to Mrs
Mary Mclean Wylls of Glastonbury
The beneficiary Of this bill, however,
died about two months ago, and the
bill does not provide any way by
which her heirs can secure the pen
sion.
The senate has also passed the bill
to increase the pension of Daniel W.
Graham of Portland, who served in
Company D.Twentieth Connecticut Vol
unteers. The amount granted is $50
per month. This bill has already
passed the house, having been intro
duced by Mr. Sperry.

THE DAY NURSERY.
EVERYTHING Running Smoothly in the
New Catholic Venture.

Considerable work is now being
done about the grounds at st Mary's
Day nursery. The small building
that stood at the south side of the
main structure has been removed to
the rear end of the lot and Is being
fitted up for use as cloak room and
will be used in other ways by the
children, especially during the sum-
mer and fall. 1t is provided with a
chimney and If necessary can be turn
ed into cooking department. The
fence is being fixed and a neat bench
constructed under the grape arbor
where the little tots will eat in the
warm weather 1t Is surprising how
the good Sisters succeed In pleasing
the very young children committed to
their care. To-day. while Demo
crat reporter was being shown about
the premises by Father Slocum, four
or five girls, none of whom appeared
to be over three years of age, had a
whole lot of amusement with vari-
ETY. of toys in the sun on the front We
randa. They were busy and just as
happy as if they were in
their own dooryards. A ten
months old baby was in dreamland
tucked away in snow white cot IN
the sleeping room on the second floor,
with an attendant near enough so that
she could hear it stir. Another young
ster had charge OF the group on the
veranda and one or two more were
hustling preparing dinner for all
hands, including a dozen or so older
children who were attending school
across the way. Everybody was on
the go and after spending a half hour
about the building the reporter left,
wondering how human beings can keep
UP that pace the year round.
A feature of the institution not mef-
toned when it was opened is a sewing
school, which will be conducted in the
large room on the south side Of the
building, where the sun shines in
through the windows the greater part
OF the day.

Dramatic Act by Car Barn Bandit.

BNMWEEs
CHICAGO, April 10. A dramatic
turn was given to the trial of Roeski,
enc of the car barn bandits Another
of the bandits, Gustav Marx, who is
under sentence to be hanged next
week, on the witness stand swore that
he, net Roeski, fred the fatal shot in
the murder for which Roeski is on
trial. The story of the witness was
made more remarkable by the asser-
tiop that he was at the time of the
murder trying to kill Rosski the man
in whose behalf Marx was now testi-
flying. The reason given by Marx for
attempting thus to murder his confed-
crate was that he was suspicious that
Roeski would betray the other bandits
90 the police.
