MAY FIRE REPORT.
Ten Alarms Answered and Total Loss
 Was S1,S74.

Was S1,S74.
 The report of the Montgomery fire department for May completed yester- day morning by Assistant Fire Chief F. l. Griffith shows that the firemen had less work to do and that a lesser loss from fire occurred during the past month than in any previous month in several years.
 Only ten alarms were answered dur ing the thirty-one days of the month and only one of these alarms called the firemen to a fire of any consequence. This was the blaze that practically de- stroyed the Kirtland home on Mildred Street when a loss of $1,864 resulted. The total fire loss in May was S1.S74 showing that the remaining nine alarms answered by the department contributed only s10 in losses. All alarms were received over the tele- phone.
 The character of the buildings in volved were one three-story brick, two two- story bricks, one one-story brick, one two story frame and four one-story frames. One alarm called the depart ment out of the city and one alarm was false.
 The value of buildings at risk was $102,000, on which insurance to the amount of $101,500 was carried The loss on buildings amounted to $919 and this amount was paid by the insurance companies in which the damaged houses were insured.
 The value of the contents of build ings was $1,500, on which $1,000 in in surance was carried. Of the insurence, $955 was paid on losses that amounted to that figure.

 It will be recalled that Mounted Pa trolmen Pendergrass and Thorne dis covered fire in the rear of the Hirsch home that had been started from a lighted bottle of kerosene, some of which had been thrown on the side of the house. The policemen extinguished the rapidly srowing blaze ana prob ably saved the house from desfruction.

 How much the Meeting House So- ciety realized from the lottery I never learned. I do not remember of ever hearing or reading of any opposition, in those days. to the raising of money by lotteries to aid in the building of churches. Public sentiment has chang ed in many things in 100 years. Ob- Jection Is now made to receiving money gained by Standard oil and other en- terprises for carrying on the good work begun by lottery reared churches.
 This meeting house, a large, hand some brick building of fine architecture, was built on the site of the former one, which, needing extensive repairs, was torn down and the meeting house war, as 1t was termed. grew out of the de- termination of considerable number of people to build the new edifice ore mile farther north. The aid of the Supreme Court and of the General Assembly was invoked and peace soon followed. Gov ernor Jonathan Trumbull, whose Tesi- dence and Revolutionary war ollie were located near by, was a large con tributor and had much to do in the erection of the new building.
 Huntington in his Memorial tells of the boy who had heard that Washing ton was to pass that way for a meet ing with the Governor at the war office as he supposed at the head of his army Instead of that. he met man alone on horseback of whom he Inquired if Washington was coming. The General replied, T am the man. In astonlsh- ment the boy, not knowing what to dO or say, pulled off his hat. and with great violence threw 1t at the feet of the horse. running back at the same time, at full speed. and crying at the top of his voice, God Almighty, bless your Majesty

ties requisite in husbands quite as ini- nortant as this. A head is wanted as well as a heart.
 Don't marry man for a livelihood. There are better. safer and more hon. orabIe ways by which women can earn n living nowadays. Don't marry a man who threatens that if refused he will go straight to the bad. Threats are the outcome of a weak. unstable and unmanly nature. Don't marry a man because he Is handsome and looks well in his clothes. Tailors' dummies do not make the best husbands. Dop't marry a man to spite another man; curses, like crows. come home to roost Don't marry a man because he Is the first one who has asked you and you are afraid if you will refuse him you will be an "old maid" Occasionally old maids are to be found who are happier than some wives.

Hart Talcott writes the following in- teresting letter to The Hartford Cou- rant:
 Some thirty years ago I came in pos session of three copies of the New Eng land Republican, Vol 1, February and May 22, 1895. The cleanest and best preserved copy, of an earlier date, which contained extracts from newspa- pers in South Carolina and Georgia, headed, All about the Lebanon meet ing house war; I gave to the Bucking- ham Pastoral Library in Lebanon, with the request that 1t be safely kept, but 1t cannot now be found. Beside much interesting domestic and foreign news they all contained the scheme and ad- vertisement of the
 Lebanon Meeting House Lottery.
 Two high prizes of one thousand dol lars each, 32 from 100 to 600 dollars each. The peculiarly unhappy circum- stances of the South Society in Leban- on, which induced the Legislature to grant this lottery, are so generally known that they need no explanation. The prospect of obtaining in this way two objects so important as the erec- tion of house of public worship, and the extinction of an ancient controversy will recommend the lottery to the mo- tice of every person of reflection and sobriety; while it is believed the scheme annexed is so favorable as to recommend itself to the mere adven- turer, by the multiplication of It's chances, and the great proportion of high prizes to be distributed through out the drawing. The concurrenee' of so many beneficial and fortunate cir cumstances. 1t is hoped will in this in- stance, remove the objection of every one to this mode of raising money, and engage all to promote the safe of tick Ss, that the managers may gratify them with an early drawing of the lottery, of which the following is the scheme:
 $30,000. All to be disposed of in prizes as follows.

Womnn,n Ready Wit.

Senator Depew, at a dinner in Wash ington, was praising the wit of women.
 Against this wit" he said, i've men are powerless. Even when all the right and logic of an argument are on our side, woman, with her wit, will, nine times out of ten, put us to shame.
 Thus a man once found that his wife had bought few puffs of false hair. This displeased him. He hid in the hall one day, and just as the lady was fix ing the false puffs on her brow he dart ed in upon her.
 Mary, he said reproachfully, why do you put the hair of another woman on your head?"
 "'Why,' his wife answered, do you put the skin of another calf on your feetT'

GOOD ADVICE ON
 WHEN NOT TO MARRY

Don't marry to reform man. He who would not reform before margiage is not likely to do so afterward. There Is no more fallacious hope girl can entertain than that of changing an nn- reformed rake into a good husband.
 Don't marry a man to whom es has been said in moment of mistaken sympathy or sentimental ecstasy Sympathy is not love; neither IS eesta- sy. The latter when carried to excess is a form of hysteria, and both are poor foundations fos n4atrimony. Don't marry a man who has only ais love to recommend him; there are other quail
