It has twenty-nine life members and 435 annual members, There are divisions in Hartford, New Haven, Norwich, Litchtleld, Fairfield and Danbury.

 About ten years ago pr. Mary Spen- cer was married at Meath to her elev- enth husband, her first appearance at the alter being at the age of fifteen and her latest at forty-four. A Mexican lady, Sonora Key Castillo, buried seven husbands between 1880 and 1895, each of them dying violent death; manSpf Bordeaux only yielded up the ghost in 1772 after he had welded his sixteenth bride; Jerome tells of a widow who had buried twenty-one husbands before she was united to a man who had al- ready survived twenty wives; and Evelyn beats this amazing record with the case of a woman who when he saw her was married to her twenty fifth husband.
 To return, however, to remarkable cases of mesalliance, it is not long since one of the best known kings of Europe made a morganatic wife of the daughter of caretaker of Louvain, whom he had already created a baro ness; Archduke John of Austria mar ried the pretty daughter of small country postmaster, who in boys cloth- es had acted as his position: Arch- duke John Salvador sacrificed his roy al rank to become the husband of a ballat dancer, the daughter of obscure parents, and Archduke Ernest took to wife a woman of still humber position, and not long ago the son of this union was head waiter in Budapest cafe: [ while Princess Josephine of Spain, great aupt of King Alfonso, eloped with a Havana journalist

Norwich division holds the banner for

Norwich division holds the banner for membership. Starting a year ago with but twenty-seven members, it reports to-day twenty nine life and 435 annual members. During the year two of our life members, Mrs. Lucy H. Boardman of New Haven, and Miss Maria P. Gil- man, of Norwich, have passed on to other activities, leaving but ninety-two life members on our roll.
 The membership for the state is now ninety-two life and BOA annual mem bers, a total membership for Connecti- cut of 996.
 With the organization of additional divisions and the incentive to more en- thusiastic efforts on our part which may be found in the splendid success of the Norwich division in securing new members, the Connecticut branch should be able to report to the Nation- al Red Cross congress of 1907 a state membership of not less than twenty five hundred.

SOME AMAZING MARRIAGES.
Unions of Youth and Age Strange
 Choices of Kings and Princes.

Unions of Youth and Age Strange
 Choices of Kings and Princes.
 That the days of romantic marriages are by no means at an end is proved by the fact that within few days re- gently the lady superior of a Budapest convent, who had for twenty years worn the veil of a nun, became the wife of a stonemason young enough to be her son; wealthy widow of Washington gave her hand and heart to a blind street singer, a German Count of long descent led a washerwomans daughter to the alter and Russian Countess eloped with her footman.
 But Cupid has played pranks far stranger than any of these. A good many years ago a bridegroom of 30 years "a hopeless bachelor, if ever there was one-was carried to the alter in Scotland on mems shoulders. His legs" says the chronicler, "were drawn up to his ears, his arms were twisted backward, and almost every member was out of joint"
 At Worcester blacksmith of ninety was once mated to a child of fifteen; in Berkshire blind woman of ninety was welded to her ploughman, youth o ftwenty: and littl elater girl six teen became the bride of man who was nearly eighty when she cradled. Almost more remarkable still was a Berkshire wedding, of many years ago, in which bridegroom and bride mum bered 168 years between them-he was S5 and she but two years younger; the two bridesmaids had celebrated their seventeenth birthday, and the path to the alter was strewn with flowers by six of the bridegroom's grand -daught- CTS.
 In the eighteenth century a woman who was pilloried in Cheapside and sentenced to six months Imprisonment had been married to no fewer than three members of her own sex, whom in turn she robbed and deserted; and

 The Bristol Boys" collected and for warded $1,235.O4 and also about 1,2OO articles of clothing, etc. This club Is made up of Sunday school boys between the ages of sixteen and twenty, A bar rel of clothing was received by the state secretary and forwarded to Cali fcrnia for the ladies' guild of the Epis- lccpal church at Brookfield Center.
 The towns represented by contribu- tions of money for supplies sent through the Connecticut Red Cross are as follows: Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Waterbury, Mlddletown, Torrington, Ansonia, Bristol, Norwich, Rockville, Wallingford, Mystic, West brook, Burlington, simsbury, Water town, Derby, Fairfield, Litchfield, Brookfield Center, Noank Baptist church and Sunday school, Hannah Benedict Garter chapter, D. IA. R., of New Canaan, Norfolk Congregational church and the Winsted Business Mems association.
 The special gift of the Connecticut Red Cross as an organization was a consignment of twenty bales, containing wool blankets to the number of 1,000-a gift which called forth letter of cor dial appreciation and thanks from Dr. Edward T. Divine, the official represen- tative of the government in charge of lrelief measures in San Francisco. The purchase from the manufacturer of this | large number of blankets at a price wihin the resources of the state society was made possible to us through the courtesy and patriotic interests of c. E. Jackson, our president for Middle sex county.
 The enrolment of registered nurses for possible Red Cross service, which was authorized by our executive com mittee, has made 8 satisfactory begin ming. Application blanks and rules have been issued to graduate nurses throughout the state, and through the lactive interest of the state board of eX- animation and registration of nurses, together with valuable suggestions and assistance given by Miss Albaugh, pres ident of the State Society of Graduate Nurses, it is probable that this impor- tant phase of the work will develop rapidly and be successfully accomplish led.
 Many calls for information have been received from graduate nurses and several have already asked to be enrolled for service. But one physi- clan has as yet applied for re-enroll- ment.
 | Under the auspices of the state so- ciety public meeting was held ir New Haven on April 5, which was largely attended by an interested au- dienee. Addresses were made by Sec retary Taft, president of the national society; Miss Boardman, a member oi | the national executive committee, and Mir. Farnam, president of the Connect ieut branch.
 Three divisions have formally organ ized since our last annual report. The New Haven division organized April with 106 members. Hartford members who from the first had been doing the full work of division, organized a: such on April 2S with POT members Through the interests of the Mary Wooster chapter, D. A. R.. of Danbury

Smith, both of New Haven; Miss Nutting and Miss Mccormick, of Hartford; Miss Roos, of Norwich, and Miss Martha Wilkinson, Miss Wheeler and Miss Donald, of Hartford.
 At the business meeting the proposed bylaw involving a change in the way of electing officers was passed This law provides that board of fifteen governors shall be chosen annually, and that they shall in turn choose the state officers. The change Is made so that the procedure in this state shall con- form to the methods in the national board.
 The governors chosen yesterday were William W. Farnam, Mrs Sara T. Kin ney, Hon. Eli Whitney, Thomas Hook CT, Samuel Hemingway, all of this city; Charles Hopkins Clark, editor of the Hartford Courant; Robert W. Hunting ton, jr.. Francis Parsons and Dr. P. H.

 Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation.
 Women suffering from any form of female eweaknessare invited opromptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read aud answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to woman; thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will heln vour case. She asks nothing in return except your goodwill, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely anv woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.
 If YOU are i'll, don't hesitate to get a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham 'sVegetable Compound at once, and write Mrs. Pink ham Lynn. Mass, for special advice.
 When a medicine has been successful in restoring to health so many women, YOU cannot well say, without trying it, IT do not believe it will help me-"

Disturbance in Coal Field.

Philadelphia, April 8. - The situa-
tion in the coal fields remains un-
changed. Occasional disturbances are
reported from various sections, but
they are regarded as inconsequential.
AS result OF the attacks made on the
breakers OF the Fernwood colliery, the
Erie, company, which owns the land
occupied by the mineworkers, haa en-
dered them to vacate the property.
The miners are said to have shot out
nearly every window in the breaker.
A detail OF state police today arrested
seven Italian laborers at Mocanaqua,
near Wilkesbarre, who yesterday pre-
vented non.union men from operating
the West End washery. They were
sent to Jail.

While II had been reported for several
days that the miners might ask that
the differences be arbitrated, the prop.
osition came 10 them as q great sur
prise, as they did not believe the union
leaders were ready to leave the contro.
yersy to third party at this time.
That the operators will accept the
miners proposal as submitted is not
generally believed; in fact, II 10 inti-
mated they may fatty refuse thu offer,
on the ground that existing conditions
are the result OF arbitration. The em-
ployers have decided 10 consider the

give President Mitchell and his men an
answer ON Monday, when another
meeting OF the two sub-committees will
be held in this city.
The anthracite board of conciliation
consists OF six members - three repre-
senting the operators and three the
miners. This board held frequent ses-
sious during the last three years,
settling local disputes in the anthracite
region. The award OF the strike COM
mission provided that, when II could
not agree, Federal Judge in the Third
judicial district should appoint an
umpire, who should make decision.
Judge George Gray, president Of the
strike commission, made the appoint
ments. During the first two years he
selected Carroll d. Wright, ex.United
States commissioner OF labor, as the
umpire, but during the last year
Charles P. Neill, the present labor
commissioner, acted as the arbiter.

PekiL, April 5.--The Nanchang affair
OF February last, during which a Chi.
nese magistrate met death as the result
Of dispute with French Catholic mis-
sionaries which caused a riot and the
killing OF number OF French and Brit
ish missionaries, continues to inhame
the Chinese. The native papers in the
north OF China this week print pictures
of the magistrates corpge, showing his
wounds, with sensational articles writ
ten in a style which appeals to the
lower classes, exhorting the people not
to forget the outrages and to prepare to
defend themselves against foreign bru-
talities.
The belief that French priest mur-
dered the magistrate Is universal and
probably no other incident ever excited
such widespread resentment against the
missionaries. In many places the
Catholic converts and the other Chinese
are living on the basis OF armed neu-
trality, and but for the presence Of the
troops stationed near the missions by
the governments orders, the slightest
friction would result in massacre.
