A REAL LIVE BEAR
VISITS THE PRESIDENT

Oyster Bay, n. Y, August IA
live bear, of which no one claims
ownership, has taken up his home in
the woods of Sycamore Hill, and in
the early foggy hours this morning
he paid a visit to the residence of
President Roosevelt.
The trampling of the under brush
near a ledge of the cleared knoll on
which the Presidents summer home
is situated, reused the secret service
guard to activity. While the sleuths
went into the woods, tn. pedr came
boldly into the clearing. When the
guard returned to his post after a
vain search for the cause of the
noise, he was given another start by
hearing scratching on the roof of a
lean-to, at the rear of the Presidents
house. Upon the roof went the

rub his eyes. AS he was doing this
the bear jumped to the ground and
amlbbled off towards the woods again.

men into a hunting party. For three

THE POLICE COURT.
Richards Girl Had Case Put Over for
 Investigation.

A girl aged IS years, who respond ed to the name of Emma Richards from the dark corner in the dock in the city court this morning was charged with hiring a team under false representations from Halsey w. Curtiss' stables last Thursday night. She said she was going to Naugatuck with her grandmother visiting and would return about II o'clock. h. stead of going to Naugatuck she turned out East Main street. Curtis did not see the horse and buggy un- til o'clock the following night and the horse was all played out. When the girl hired the outfit she paid $2. The statement of Detective Keegan who arrested her last evening was that the shafts of the buggy broke on Wolcott street and the girl sent 1t to blacksmith shop on that street and remained all night in club room in the east side.
 The girl admitted this was all true. Her stepmother stated that her father is employed in Scovil's, that she is employed in the Star res taurant and is we'll behaved. But the additional statement of Detective Keegan showed up state of affairs at her home so strange and unusual that Judge Burpee did not know what to do, but put the girl on pro- bation a week while MT Combellack is Investigating the case.
 For intoxication Michael Noonan was fined $7 and costs and Charles Smith went down the road for thirty days.

GOING HOME TO DIE.
Long Working Hours May Be Cause
 of Failing Health.

The Irish people at home have been helped considerably in one way and another by their friends who spent season in this country and then went back to recuperate failing health, or simply for pleasure, but if the alarm ing spread of insanity and tuberculo- sis in that country be due to contact with consumptives and nervous wrecks from the United States, as q public inquiry made by the govern ment officials would seem to substan- tiate, the tourist will not be so wei come in the future as he has been in the past. Some of the reasons given by girls who served as domestics in this country for their shattered health shows that the average housewOrk girl works pretty long hours. A girl who gets out of bed at , o'clock in the morning and has to keep on her feet until the dishes are put away after supper earns her crumbs while she is at it and is soon bound to become a wreck physically, if not mentally. No doubt this explains why so many girls prefer to work in stores and factories where the hours are shorter for the law which says that girl must not be employed more than 5S hours per week cannot be enforced very well in the kitchen and dining room. It isn't likely that any of the hOusework girls in Waterbury are OVerwOrked. but it might not be a bad plan for the new woman factory inspector to put her
 self in communication with girls who make living at hOusewOrk and see how they are used. Consumption it not a common malady in Ireland, although it is fact that many of them fall a prey to the disease soon after coming here In some instances the visitors return to die at the old homestead and their friends not always being in q position to maintain them apart from the rest of the family. the white plague does it's work without much opposition. It has gone on in this way for years unnoticed, but now the situation has become so alarming that public attention is directed to it and systematic effort is being made to stamp 1t out. The Irish have held their own in many fierce combats against tremendous odds, but it is a question if they ever encountered so formidable foe as the one now said to have invaded the island
