While among the dark, pinev precipices
of the Chartreuse hills one day the ia
nous John Ruskin saw for the third
time what he thought the most wonder

stealtl.y creature, about the size of a
sparrow. but OF colder gray and more
graceful. which haunts the sides of the
fieTcest torrents. He wrote. '.rPhere Is

A curious fact regarding diamonds is
that it is not uncommon for the crys-

they have burst in the pockets or the

effect-of increased temperature. Large

innate a connection, is increasing rap idly with most encouraging, results.
 An interesting feature is indicated by the item of $1,15O, collected from de- linquent husbands, and applied to the care of families or children. This, like other developments of the law, has large economic value, for if the princi- pals had been incarcerted the cost of their support would have fallen on the county or state, and the case of their families on the town in many in- stances.
 The detention rooms, erected last year, are frequently in use, as the courts turn over nearly all prisoners under sixteen years old to our care, and while the expense of maintaining the rooms is considerably above the re- ceipts, yet the opportunity to protect minors from association with advanced criminals is morally an ample compen- sation. In time the state will have to make provision for the care of minors separately, but for the present it IS largely private charity.
 The report of the treasurer, which precedes this, shows that we have con- cluded the year without debt The executive committee has now sent out it's annual report, and is hop ing for a generous response.
 | All the funds required for the sup 1 port of the association come as a re- suit of personal work by the directors, nothing being paid in commissions, or salary, for their efforts. In view of the permanent character of the work, and 1 it's acknowledged usefulness, and, in fact, indispensableness, we venture to suggest that an effort be made to se- cure an endowment fund, the income Of which shall help support the work, and also insure the development of great CT variety of philanthropic endeavor. i The present force in addition to the agent are the first assistant and ma 1 tron, MT. and Mrs, w.

To the president, officers and directors, whose help has been so ready and po- tent, and whose continued fidelity make the further development of the work sure, a special acknowledgment is due, and is here given.

MAY START UP APRIL 1.

Naugatuck Rubber Workers Hoping
 Wheels Will Turn Again in Big Shop
 Soon.
 Naugatuck, Feb. 15.-There are many rumors around town as to the probable date on which work will be resumed by the factory of the G. M. R. company, but none of them can be verified. Some give the date as April 1, and others assert that the factory will be started up even earlier. But those in authority are silent on the subject, and these stories have been set down as idle shop talk.
 There is no doubt, however, that the spring trade will bring renewed activity ito all the local factories and the heavy stock carried by the local concerns will begin to move before the warm weather sets in, so that the resumption of work in the factory that is now shut down may not be so far off as some people suppose.

STOCK MARKET FEATURES

 Traders worked for "stop loss" or ders, and caught them on the last hour.
 Announcement that the city had sold its $20,OOO,OOO four per cent. bonds of- fered to-day at an average price of 1O7264, was well received in Wall street quarters.
 Call loans went above per cent. in the afternoon, but there were liberal offerings at that figure. Some Stand ard Oil money came in the market be- fore the closing at per cent.
 Bankers ascribed the rush to get time money to fears of borrowers that the heavy flotations of new securities would so absorb the floating supply of money as to force a higher level for call loans.

Policy King Believed to Have Departed
 This State.
 Edward F. Quigley, known as New Ravens policy king, who has left town in connection with the efforts of Pros ecuting Attorney R. J. Woodruff to round up the men engaged in that spe- cies of gambling, is still missing and it is believed that he has left the state It is stated that he fully realizes that the time is past when he would be let off with a fine, and will make good his escape. When the police searched his residence on High street Wednesday they found $250O0, principally in green backs, and as the police were unable to disturb this money the policy king is undoubtedly well supplied with cash His friends say he has the whole bun dle with him.
 Prosecutor Woodruff stated yesterday that he had positive evidence that the policy players had done an immense business in this city for several months past, and that the bulk of the profits went into Quigley's coffers. He also estimates that the playing has averag- ed between $2O0 and $500 per day. This wholesale policy playing in this city has been a veritable scourge, Attorney Woodruff says that he k1Jws of many cases of Restitution and suffering which !, it has occasioned,
 The maximum penalty here for policy playing, taking part in a policy game, or having custody of policy slips, is $10O fine or six months imprisonment, or both.

 Three young boys ranging from thir- teen to fourteen years of age, were ar rested by Officers Brown and Allen last night for trespass on the property of the All Rail Coal company.
