TOO MANY CHILDREN.
Board of Charities at Loss What to
 Do With Them.

The board of charities is in a quandary to know what to do with the number of small children brought to the office from time to time. The Brookside home is no place for them and it is very hard to place them anywhere else. This emphasizes the need of an orphanage in Waterbury, but it isn't likely that one will be established until after the new Wa terbury hospital is built and occu- pied, after which it is said the old building on Hospital avenue will be used as an orphanage, but just on what plan is not yet known. The board of charities could accomplish a great deal of good in this direction with few thousand dollars, but the commissioners claim that they find it hard to convince the city fathers there appears to be nothing to wo that such thing is really necessary. Notwithstanding this the children are constantly coming in and there appears to be nothing to do with them except trundle them off to the town house and then as soon as they are old enough, hurry themy off to the county home. This should not be so, and now while the annual estimates are being considered it would be perfectly proper for the board of char ities to ask the aldermen to make an appropriation for this purpose, and then if they do not get it nobody can blame the department for not prop erly caring for orphans that come under their charge. In any case, mo- body can lay the blame at the door of the aldermanic chamber for this apparent neglect of the litle tots until after they have been apprised of the situation and refused to lend a hand So far, this has not been done. so that if blame rests any place. the char ities board must shoulder it for the present.

Vernet and the Veteran,

"When Horace Vernet, the great French painter of battle scenes. was at the height of his fame," said an art ist, when the prices he was getting were enormous, a grizzled old veteran came to him one day and said:
 "T want you to make my picture to send home to my son. What, though, is your charger
 "'How much are you willing to payT said Vernet, smiling.
 "A franc and a half,' was the an- swer.
 "'very good
 And the artist with a few quick strokes, dashed of a wonderful sketch of the old man.
 ''The old man paid, tucked the sketch under his arm and carried it out tri- umphantly to a comrade who awaited him outside.
 But I did wrong not to haggle a bit vernet overheard him say. I might have got it for a franc"

Each Got What He Wanted.

"A hunter set out one day to hunt, and a panther set out at the same time to eat" said the lecturer.
 "T must have a fur overcoat,' said the hunter.
 "T.' said the panther. must have a dinner
 Some hours later. in a lonely wood, the panther and the hunter met.
 "'Aha.' said the hunter gayly. level ing his gun. here is my fur overcOat.'
 And he shot. but the panther. dodg- ing behind a tree. escaped unhurt
 Then the panther rushed forth be- fore the hunter could reload
 "'Aha, heres my dinner said tho panther.
 And he fell upon the hunter and de voured him.
 Thus each got what he wanted. the hunter getting his fur overcoat and the panther getting his dinner.

SUIT FOR s5,o0O
Mrs CotlIe Asks Railroad 10 Pay
 For Death of Her Husband.

Mrs Anna Cottle has brought suit for damages of $5,000 against the Consolidated Railroad company. Last May her husband, William NJ. Cottle, the florist, with a boy named Millez, son of his foreman, were returning from Waterville and when crossing the railroad track near Brookside home, they were run into by train and instantly killed. It was said at the time than an inmate of Brook side was on the south side of the tracks and seeing the train approach ing, shouted to MT Cottle not to at tempt to cross, but the florist, who could not see the approaching train because of the embankment wall along the track, apparently did not see the warning hand of the inmate and drove to instant death.

CORONER'S REPORT.
On the Injuries and Death of William
 Tvnehan.

Although it was the general opin ion that a prosecution would follow the death of William Lynehan of C Beech street, who died from injuries received when the floor of the North End Athletic club caved in on Satur. day evening, October 5, nothing will be done. Deputy Coroner Walter D Makepeace after working on the case gave out the following statement this afternoon:
 After preliminary investigation and after consultation with Coroner Mix of New Haven I fail to find suf- ficient probability of criminal negli- gence to justify me in conducting an inquest"
 This ends the case in a criminal sense, but a civil suit is pretty sure to follow.
 There has been an air of mystery about the case since the accident. AL though when a house is moved and later repaired permit is generally procured from the building inspector MT Chatfeld admits there was a per init taken out for the moving of the building, whose floor collapsed, but declared no permit was received from him for repairing the building. None of the authorities pretend to know the builder who put in the defective joint, although the name of well known contractor has been mentioned on the street corners in connection with it.
