HAPPY FAMILY IS
AUNT'S BIC CROWD
Ohio Woman Brings Ten Nephews
and Nieces to Enjoy the Warm
Sunshine of Southern
California

1t is not every woman who would
care to have ten nieces and nephews
under her wing, but Mrs. A. " T..
Wilson of Malvern, Ohio, who is now at
the Louise, 500 South Broadway, has
virtually adopted her ten nephews and
and are pretty well able to take care of
themselves, as most of them are gray
headed men and women, but there are
ten of them, for all that.
Mrs. Wilson is a wealthy widow, and
not having anything else 20 do with
her money she invited fourteen of her
nephews and nieces, all of whom live
in Malvern. Ohio, to take the trip to
California with her. She agreed to pay
all expenses, which Is no small matter
as each ticket alone cost 1924, and to
give them good time. Four were un-
able to leave, but the rest all came, and
then several more relatives decided they
wanted to come on their own accord, so
that there are twenty-siX altogether in
the party.
Mrs. Wilson manages her party like "a
general, and although 67 years old, is
as sprightly as girl She Is kind
motherly appearing woman and dresses
neatly but not ostentatlously None of
the party has ever before been in Cali
fornia, and they are enjoying 1t to the
full. They have been to Ill the beaches
and mountain towns, and intend to see
everything before they leave Monday or
Tuesday. They will spend six weeks
on the entire trip and have already
been on the road for three weeks They
seem to be very congenial family
and the whole house resounds with
their merriment and laughted.
Aunt Minta Is the name on eyeryone's
lips. and these adopted relatives, at
othAr times dignifed and stald, crowd
around her like boys and girls.
Mrs. Wilson said: II received let
ter from nome yesterday and 1t said
there was sleighing there. Just think
of it, and here we are in this warm,
sunshiny air and have been bathing
In the ocean, too"
The names of the nephews and nieces
are: A. H. Thompson, Richard Thomp-
son, II. r. Sprat, Robert Thompson
Mrs. N. ID. Hawke, Mrs. j. ID. Mills
lanes II. Thompson, Mrs. Emery Mil

education this country offers To these
the association extends a splendid op-
portunlty, the chance to gain knoWl-
edge, the key that opens opportunity's
door.
There are several nationalities rep
resented In Miss Stones elementary
English class-Germans, Swedish. Nor
wegian, Swiss and Danish all being
found in one class of nine. One young
German girl works all day in a book
bindery for 81 a week. Out of this she
mas to pay carfare to her home in
Hollywood and the remainder goes to
her mother to aid in the support of
the family of eight small children.
This education-hungry little heroine
cannot even read the alphabet, but she
Is learning and is determined to get
all she can out of the hour and half
with the class each week.
Friend Donates $4,000
How to house all the classes is a
pressing question. The educational de-
partment has run over out of, all
bounds. Some have been taken care
of in a large dining room of the Hotel
Vendome, while others hold their ses-
sions in offices loaned evenings by
friendly business men in the block.
All the officers of the association are
working like Trojans to raise the re-
mainder of that $150,O00, the target
they have set for the month Of Feb
ruary, with which to build the new
home so badly needed. Results of
canvassing for $1,000 contributions from
women so far foot up $4,000, Mrs.
d. X. Edwards $1,000. Mrs. Lyman
Stewart $1000 n friend $4,000, bringing
the subscription up to that mark.
The donor of the $4,000 could not be
prevailed upon to allow her name to
be made public. She is one who does
good in secret and to whom half the
pleasure of the deed is in remaining
unknown to the beneficiary Of her
kindness. She is a woman of wealth,
with large interests in Los Angeles,
and, as she expressed 1t, she could not
think of better investment for $5000
Next week the work of canvassing
the downtown business district will
begin in earnest A petticoat whirl-
wind will strike the commercial Sec
ton and some big results are expected.
=. K. Luther will address the regular
meeting this afternoon at o'clock.

CHRISTMAS DAY.
General Suspension of Business for
 Coming of Santa Clans.

All the offices in the city hall, the different banks, the Bronson library and the public schools and the fac- tories will be closed tomorrow so that everybody will have an opportu- nifty to enjoy Christmas. The streets were muddy to-day, but the fine weather brought out the usual num- Der of shoppers and the clerks were kept on the go and it is safe to state that they will not be idle until the stores close tonight. So many are buying presents everybody is bound to get something and with this pros- pect before us there is every reason to believe that all will be happy. The children have their ear to the ground in the hope of catching the first sound from the tramp of the reindeers that will propel Santa Claus and his cargo of presents from one place to another and it behooves the older folks to see that he leaves something for every one of them.

MORE CARBOLIC ACID
Edward Pleasant Drank Deadly
 Draught Last Night.

Edward Pleasant, carpenter, res siding at 296 Bishop street, com- mitted suicide about o'clock last evening by taking four ounces of carbolic acid. The man had been laid off his job Saturday because of shortage of lumber, Che had been working on the Cables building on Harrison alley,) and this is thought cided to take his life. He was a brother-in-law to George Lockwood of Naugatuck who on Sunday drank a dose of the deadly acid and then sent three bullets in his head. His brother Frank lost an eye at the Wa terbury Manufacturing company about three years ago and later in fit of insanity endeavored to kill his wife. He died about a year after the accident
 Pleasant left his wife and children yesterday and said he would return home of there was no work He came back last evening about 6 o'clock and after stopping while in Cavanaugh's saloon near his home. He did not drink anything there as the bartender did not care to give him any beverage. .,...
 He went to his room without eat ing any supper but took a sandwich with him which was found later on a stand near his bed. It was about 7 o'clock that cries were heard con- Ing from his room and on reaching the door, his wife found it would not open. Joseph Begnal, bartender at Cavanaugh's was called and after much work broke down the door which had been fastened by an ice pick. Pleasant was on the bed and near him was the tin cup from which he had drunk the acid He was near- ly dead, the acid having done most of it's work. An antidote was adminis- tered while Dr Goodrich was hasten ing to the house, but it did no good and the mans condition was hope less when the physician arrived. Pleasant leaves wife and three chil- dren, one of whom is 15, the others under 10.

ST. MARY'S NURSERY
Visited by Santa Claus, Who
 Distributed Presents.

Santa Claus paid visit to St Mary's day nursery on Cole street this morning and after listening to a musical programme by the little ones, he went to work and gave each so many presents that in some cases the recipients had to get assistance to help them carry them home. Father O'Brien acted as Santa Claus and performed the work in a most satisfactory manner. He was as sisted by Father Frederick, Father Brennan, and the sisters in charge of the institution. The exercises opened with the rendition of the fol- lowing pieces, Miss Mary Higgins presiding at the piano: Adeste Fideles," ''Holy Night Santa Claus" and Merry Christmas. '" Then followed the distribution or presents consisting of wearing ap- parel for boys and girls, all kinds o1 children's toys, bags of candy, pop corn, bananas and parcels of almost everything else one could mention. It would be useless to attempt any, thing like picture of the children's faces as the presents were passed around, but it is question if they felt any more happy than the good fathers and sisters who managed to see that nobody got left.
 Even the handsome painting or Monsignor Slocum that looked down approvingly from one of the side walls seemed wreathed in smiles while a number of prominent men and women of the parish of the lm- maculate Conception church who had come to join in the frivolities Of the hour pronounced the affair a credit to those who had the matter in hand. The children were all neatly dressed, and notwithstanding the desire that seizes a youngster to rush forward when he sees a great array Of Christ mas toys, not one moved from hls or her place, thereby showing that tots as they were they had been thorough ly drilled and as a consequence they were handled without the slightest difficulty. The place was tastefully decorated with a great variety ot evergreens and presented a very cheerful appearance. Indeed it is extremely doubtful if there was a happier place in Waterbury to-day.
