Miss Davies was 15 years old. She was sitting in her room at the school when lighted lamp was overturned. setting fire to her clotn~ ing Her screams brought other Fer sons to her room immediately, but she receive terrible burns before the fire was put out.

 Some mystery attaches to the eff cumstances of the accident. At the school to-day the report that the kero- sene lamp by which Miss Davies was reading exploded, was denied. It was said there that no one could tell just the manner in which the accident hapr peued, but that it was thought proba- bFe that Miss Davies by sohps sudden movement tipped the lamp over.

ATWOOD WAS SURPRISED. ].
nd ta Furnish S4.Ooo Bail CT ns
 1aKen Into cnstoay.

Frederick R. Atwood of Woodbury ls beginning to realize that he made aaraous mistake when he entered the tWFo suits against Colonel Burpee which were thrown out of the super for court a few days ago. Yesterday afternoon he was arrested by SherlH Gillette as no property belonging to him could be found.
 Before the papers in the suit were served Monday, the banks of Water town, Waterbury and Naugatuck were searched to see if he had money III them. for it was we'll known that he nsed to have not less than. two ac- counts in local banks. But to the sur pTise of the searching officers not cent could be found belonging to him. Then the papers were served upon him and he smiled and said he haG no fear of the result because he had no prop erty. "That can they do to mel" he asked the sheriff.
 ssBy gum, ye can't always ten,s re- piled the sheriff.
 The land records of the neighbof- ing towns were then searched and, again to the great surprise of those concerned. it was seen that Atwood q LULU LII AGlAtAA$ GAA4%A H. hSN supposed that he owned half Wood bury and a good slice of WatertoEn.
 Yesterday afternoon the surprise was turned upon Atwood, when Sher- If Gillette called upon him.
 Now, you say you've no property that can be attached in this suit, " said the sheriff
 seNot a bit, smiled tie man of sup posed thousands
 'sThen you come with me-" exclaim- ed the sheriff. "Censider yourself un- der arrest. Now come along or put up 8 bond.''
 Afr Atwood gasped. Hitherto he had been Basking on the pleasant side of the law, and now he could scarcely grasp the meaning of the sheriff's com mand.
 The sheriff had to explain the situ- ation to him more than once before he understood it. for he seemed to be un- able to get tile idea cut of his head that because he had no property noth- ing could be- done with him. His fath- CT furnished the requisite bail of $4,. 600 and the sheriff took his departure.

MEANS or PROTECTION.
I'm. the IEn&0m the Wage EaAsaaE Finds
 RefuRe Against OppresafOm.

I'm the IEn&om the Wage EaM@aH E1mdm
 ReRu&e A@9anst 0Dpre@stOn.
 In an article iEl tue Outlook A. J. Arkfn asks the question, What are the benefits, in the battle of life and pursuit of happiness, derived from the labor union that justify such bitter struggle In it's defense on the part of wage earnersg' and thus continues:
 gro union the wage earner in the past turned insfinctively as the only effective means of protection against the encroaehment of the more power &ul, as many had done before hn. He found it not only to be refuge against oppression, but ttue only means of re- dressing grievances in which neither the church nor the state was inclined to take part. It was natural, then, for him to form q union. As Bishop Alex ander Mackay-smith of the diocese of Pennsylvania said at the last cOnven- tio1r of the Church Association For the Advafcemelft oG the Interests of La Dor, known as the c. A. I. L., heM in Philadelphia aIast May: If were a Iaboring man would be B union man. 1t would be natural; it would be to my interests to be 8 union man
 'It ts the union that has many times prevented reduction in wages and many times has helped to raise them in spite of the iron law of supply and de- rnand and thus helped also to keep mp q respectable standard of living. And whenever, in whatever trade, there is thorough organization, there also are good wages and general good feelings.
 With a higher stapdaTd of living a higher grade of intelligence and finer tastes are developed. .s.<..
 '"The halls of the union are school rooms for free and Independent citizen ship. At the meetings, where business IS transacted under parliamentary rules and under the gavel of presid- ing officer, respect for rule and order is taught most effectively. A long ex- pertsnce in union cannot but leave 8 lasting impression of orderlinesg on the person belonging to it. The monthly, seminaonthly and weekly union jour naIs, so ably edited, have done and are doing very much to educate working people, not only in their particular trades, but also in other spheres of li9e.''

SUED COURT PItEl.AN.
Adminissgatri1 Clainas Death Benefit
 and $50 Damages.

Mrs Johanna Kelly, as administra, tPfx upon the estate of her son James, claims from Court Richard F'. PhelaR a death benefit of $10O, and she wants damages of $50 more. The case was begun to-day in the district court be- fore Judge Cowell, Attorney Carmody appearing for the admfnistratrix ana Attorney Delaney of New Britain for the defense.
 James PheIan was we'll known. He lived on Stone street with his mother and sister, and on February 15 last he died. The usual claim for the death benefit Of $10O was made by William Clasby, Mrs Kelly's son-fn-law, upon Court Phelan, of which deceased was a member up to the time of his death, according to the complaint in the case. He had been in the order some years.
 The defense is that deceased was in financial arrears 10 the court. He owed S3.75 for dues and $1 for book Of fair tickets. Mrs Kelly said on the stand that the tickets were taken back by member of the court because they were not sold. The defense denied this and said that on February g de ceased was suspended from the court and consequently was deprived of it's protection and benefits
 The main point in the case is thiss Did deceased owe for the book of fair tickets, for he would not be untinan- ciaI if he did not?

TIE COONEY ESTATE.
Stormy Hearing Before Jadaa Lowe
 in the Prehaae Court.

The hearing on the estate of the late Catherine COOney was resumed before Judge Lowe i'll the probate court fAfs morning, Attorney Kennedy appearing for Mrs Lodge of Derby, who claims to be an heir, and Attor1sey Russell appearing for Mrs Annie Barrett. the administrative. The hearing was very stormy. Attorney Russell was making his argument, showing that Mrs Barrett and Miss Coomey were lifelong friends; that when Miss Coo ney was i'll Mrs Barrett took care of her, and for weeks she had left her work ina factory in order to nurse her friend; that when Miss Ceoney was dying she gave Mrs Barrett her bank book as a gift, and that Mrs Barrett drew the money and paid the bills contracted by Miss Gooney's illness; that she had followed the directions left by deceased in various matters that required the expenditure of mon ey and when all was paid, excepting for her own services which she did charge for, there was very little left.
 At that point Attorney Russell made reference to Mrs Lodge and the latter broke loose. She poured the vials Of her wrath upon MT Russell's head and insisted she was right.
 "We don't know about that; you haven't been on the witness stand yet. but Mrs Barrett has," retorted Attor- ney Russell
 Mrs Lodge could scarcely contain herself. She would have MT Russell understand that she was mot to De bulldezed. She would make him prove his insinuations and in various ways would make it t'hot" for him.
 Mr Russell replied that he did not wish to be interrupted again. Attorl hey Kennedy said it was all Mir Rus sells own fault by his attack upon Mrs Lodge. Judge Lowe advised the woman to leave the room if sne did not wish to hear what was. said, or if she could not stand it. With apparent difficulty Mrs Lodge calmed dowh and MT Russell proceeded.
 Then Attorney Kennedy sought to introduce copies of two letters. Judge Lowe began to read one of them and Mr Russell objected, and then the court room grew hot with tort and re. tort
 Decision was reserved.

THREE POEMS BY MUTSUHt-
 TO, EMPEROR OF JAPAN
rArtrur Lloyd in Tndepeudent,

The following translations of poems by his majesty, the originals of which appeared in the Kokumin Shimbun for Nov. ', seem to have been composed at different periods. No. 1 evidently was written before the war, when the emperor saw himself surrounded by ominous signs of a coming conflict. No. 2 dates from the actual commence ment of the war, when all peaceable means had been exhausted and the declaration of war become inevitable. No. 8 is what we see in Japan today. Only the other day passed a gang of brothers places in the building of a bridge. His majesty has every reason to be proud of the ready self sacriflc- ing spirit of his people: My hearts at peace with all, and fain
 would I
 Live, as love, in lifelong amity. And yet the stormcloudsNlower, the ris-
 ing wind
 Stirs up the waves: the elemental strife Rages around do not understand Why this should be.
 !.
 Iris surely not our fault. we've sought to be sincere in deed and
 word: I We have exhausted every means to press A clear and truthful case but all in vain, Now may the God that sees the hearts of men
 Approve of what we do!
 III
 They're at the front, Our brave young men, and now the mids
 die aged Are shouldering their arms, and in the
 fields The old 2nan gather in the abundant rice Low stooping o'er the sl1eaves-an ages
 vie
 In cheerful self devotion to the land.

STORIES OF MRS. GILBERT.

How the F'am0ms Actress Once Ca9m@
 to .Jol4m preyv'p Reacue.
 There is a pretty story told of the late Mrs. Anne Hartley Gilbert, Amer ica's famous old actress, on one Of her visits to San Francisco. It was Iohn Drew's last season with Daly. when he had already announced his intention to star and Daly was making things aa disagreeable asN possible for him. He allowed him to take no calls. for him. self, no matter what the audience wanted. On his last night In San Francisco Daly had left for tlaa east. The audience called the curtain up again and again, and fl was very evil dent that it was Drew they wanted, to clap a farewell to him, and they would not be satisfied with the repeated re turns Of the whole company. But Daly was implicitly obeyed. whether he was present or not, and Drew must have somebody to return with him. Finally Mrs. Gilbert offered herself, hastily buttoning her dress, which she NhAd ldosened preparatory for dressing Tor the next act. She hurried upon the. stage with him, then, patting his hand in view of the audience, withdrew and left him alone to his curtain call. his by rights.
 sFWhen he met me in the wings he didn't say anything about what had done, but he stopped and kissed me and said, God bless you, grandma. "
 Mrs. Gilbert treasured some Cali fornia flowers that she pressed long ago. She got them just as she was DaIy's visits there. The train stopped in a grfny spot, desolate bit of the California where one cabin was the only building in sight. Tine miner sat at his door and near him, inside, was a table on which stood bunch of gur- geous California wild flowers.
 They made the only bright spot in the whole dingy picture, and every body in the car noticed them. Half q dozen pretty women poAed their heads out of as many windows and begged for them. They were all young, all charming, in fact they were some of Daly's stage beauties. But the desc late miner was proof against their wiles, far more than any Johnnie who should be better used to them. He shook his head stoiidIy.
 As the train pulled out, the window where Mrs. Gilbert sat passed his door. She nodded and smiled as she passed. To her surprise he sprang from his seat, seizing the flowers as he did 50. With great strides he ran after the train, reaching it just in time to Hing the flowers in at the rear door. They're for the old lady, he cried.
