cursing Swede struggled to release

Swede who held the knife with the

Long before the war an Irishmar

story, kept sail or boarding house

many acquaintances among the toll.

and as he grew older he learned many
funny tricks such as are taught to
dogs.
Burke named the jackal Barney
and the animal developing into fine
specimen of his class, as large as a
full-grown sheep dog, with grayish
coat, white breast, broad head
straight ears and bushy tail, he be-

heart
The jackal being even more dog
than his close relative, the wolf, is,
was an apt pupil and soon learned to
crouch behind the counter when the
saloon was full of drunken sailors and
tough longshoremen and play guar
dian over the drawer where the
money was kept. If any stranger
dared approach the drawer Barney
would arise from his crouching atti-
tude, lower his head and snarl furi-
ously. It's needless to say no attempt
at burglary was made on that cash
box.
Barney one night was the means Of
saving the life of his master ami Cax-

four sailors from Swedish marque

LOOKING FOR HUSBAND
George J. Adams Not the Man Killed in Waterbury While Hunting
 woodchuck
WOMAN WRITES TO THE POLICE

Waterbury Is not the only town
 where men make practice of run ming away from home. Quite fre- quently the police receive letters from people in all parts of the coun- try inQuiring about men who have left their wives without saying a word about 1t. Yesterday Superin- tendent Beach of the police depart ment received a communication from Mrs George J. Adams of Sonora, Cal, in which she states that her husband has been missing for some time and as she saw in the papers that man of that name was killed in Waterbury while endeavoring to drive wood- chuck from its hiding place, she thought 1t might be he, as he was a great huntsman. MT Beach has written to the lady informing her that the person killed was boy about 16 or IT years of age and that. he belonged here. The letter also contained picture of her husband and other scraps of news which shows that a great effort is being made to locate him. The case that came under the woman's notice was that of George Adams of Sunnyside avenue, who was killed by tn edis- charge of his rife while trying to dislodge a woodchuck from hole.

Superintendent Beach Was On Hand
 at Driving Park.

Superintendent of Police Beach was very much in evidence at the Driving park yesterday. when he compelled all the fakirs who were running roulette wheels or any other kind of gambling machine to close up their apparatus and suspend operations for the day.
 There were not many games going on at the park. but the few that were In operation were being heavily play cd. and the operators could see where they would have a neat waile. before the picnic was over. But they had planned without the head of the po- lice department. Superintendent Beach must have expected that the games would be on. for early in the afternoon he took a walk through the grounds and put the lid on tight. The fellows who were forced to close up their games of course took 1t to heart, but 1t made little difference to the chief.

SCHOOL TEACHERS BUSY
Were Placing Scholars in Positions To-Day For tho Coming
 Year
SOME ROOMS TO BE CLOSED

With the opening of the schools to- day came the usual increase in at- tendance and the teachers, princi- pals and Superintendent 5. w. Tink- CT have been busy all day arranging the scholars. The increase will not be known until later in the week as all the schools have not as yet been heard from as there is moreo less confusion on the opening day. Superintendent Tinker gave most of his time to-day to the schools in the eastern section of the city that have been affected by the opening of the Sacred Heart parochial school. It was expected that the attendance at the new building would not be more than 200, but contrary to ex- pectations about 400 pupils were present, necessitating the opening of the entire eight rooms The opening of the parochial school will cause the closing of at least two rooms in the Hendricken school, two in the Well ton and two in the Dublin street schools. This will of course place all the more teachers on the waiting list.
 The Brooklyn schools, with the exception of the Duggan school, have plenty of room, but the Webster school in the northern part of the city, is packed to the garret, due to the delay in having the new rooms ready.
 The high school has a bigger at- tendance than ever before, over $40 answering roll-call this morning. The increase at the High school worries MT Tinker somewhat, and he would feel more contented if the board of education would purchase the land adjoining Crosby, as 1t is certain that 1t will be needed for the high school in year or two The board of edu- cation made preparations to buy the land about six months ago, but thought the price asked was too high.
 The parochial schools are all well filled and the outside buildings report a big increase. The number of girls on the teachers waiting list is very large this year, about fifty waiting for positions.
 Last year for time there were not enough teachers to be had to do sub- stitute work, as the young ladies waiting for positions do not stay in the city if they can get a chance in the outlying sections; consequently many outside girls were pressed into service.

Cresentia, Sister M. Carolus, Sister M. Tiburtius and Sister M. Bernadine. Rev Mother Agnes and Sister M. Clo- tilde from Hartford assisted at all the exercises.
