 New Haven Grays.

A. M. Young's Car for Member of
 New Haven Grays.
 Although it was thought that Fred c. Russell of the New Haven Grays who was injured in the wreck which occurred in this city on the morning of Saturday, March 2, while spe- cial train was conveying the military boys back to New Haven after ban. quoting at The Elton, would not leave the Waterbury hospital for an other week, late last evening arrange ments were completed for taking him home to-day. This morning the green car" of President A. M. Young of the Consolidated road arrived iI this city, bringing MT Russell's father, Calvin Russell, and also one of his daughters.
 While the injured man was being carried from the hospital to the trol ley which was in waiting near the barn, he was attended by Dr Bene' dict.
 Russell and George Champlin, who is still at the hospital. were the most seriously injured of the members oi the military company and for few days after the accident Russell made little or no improvement. He is now almost fully recovered, as is Cham pin, who is convalescing.

About blight cars going to Watertown, Oak Eille, Waterville. and the Boulevard were detained on this side of North

Where the Gold Gees.

Egypt is having boom. and that explains iu part the old mystery where all the gold goes to. There Is . crazy land speculation in Cairo. the cotton crop is increasing at good prices. the area of arable land is increased by the new Nile dam, rain is more com mon from the same cause. And gold is being hoarded in the oriental way usual when times are good. A con- sular report says that nearly S2o.0oo.. o0o was sent from London recently, but 1t has all been absorbed. The sell CTS of the cotton crop have the money hoarded in their houses. The gold. beaters' bazaar Is crowded all the time and it is estimated that each week many pounds sterling in gold coin are melted or beaten into bracelets. neck. faces and chains. That gold Is alvays hoarded in Egypt is proved by the fact that some George III. sove-eigns are coming into circulation.

NEW STREET SIGNS.
Will Soon Be in Place and Will Save
 Much Trouble.

&740Ou AAp0bASs
 The new signs which the city has contracted for will be a God-send to teamsters and others who are not quite familiar with the location of the streets in Waterbury. Before they are put up the question of street names in all parts of the town should be cleared up, and after that nobody should be allowed to tack any name that suits his fancy onto a proposed street, even though 1t is on his own thoroughfare. The same name for one street and thes changing of an |old street name causes lot of con- fusion and every possible effort should be made to avoid such trouble The proper thing to do would be to ap- lply at the office of the engineer and state what name you want. If that has already been applied to some street. then take another. Later on this could be approved by the alder men. In this way doubles would be out of the question, but so long as everybody Is at liberty to call streets by any name he pleases 1t is folly to bother erecting expensive signs. The pattern adopted by the city is neat one. The total number is 535, IA lof which are what they term four way signs and cost $4.75 each. The rest cost $2.75 apiece. The letters are raised. white, and are said to be Ivery durable. The price mentioned included setting them up, so that all the city will have to do is show them where to put them and then settle.

Don't Know Right From Left.

The thing that surprised me most when I began to teach" said the in- structor of class of adults in manual training, was the number of people who can not tell, instinctively, the right hand from the left. Fully 6 third of my pupils hesitated moment before obeying instructions to do this thing or that thing with the right hand or the left. The thing that fixes the proper hand in their minds finally is some incident in which that hand has figured. By recalling that story they know which hand to use. One of the brightest women know declares that the only way she can tell one hand from the other is to remember the time when, as a child. she tried to milk COW and was sent flying heels over head. She approached the animal from the wrong side. and the picture of the position of her right hand then is so vivid that 1t enables her to distinguish that member to this day"

Did you ever sit out on your
porch when the shades of even
ing were gathering and listen
to the fond mothers gathering
their boys in for the night? !?
Every boy that is called has an
excuse of some kind for not
coming. in just then. The an
swers run like this: "Just a
second as soon as we finish
this game of leap frog" or
"this round of run sheep rum"
or "skin this old cat" You
never heard a boy that was
just ready to come in at night.
We suppose it has been the
same way since the first boy.
When Mother Eve would 90
down to the garden gate and
almost burst her lungs yelling
"A-bel, it is time to come in,"
we suppose the answer came
back over the plains surround
ing the first hut: "Just a min
ute-as soon as / hit this Bron-
tosarius on the head with a
darnick." All other animals
change as the long cycles of
time go along, but the boy is
the same today as when the
stars first sang together. Not
much difference between boys
and grown men, either. Men
are procrastinators the same as
the boy. When there is some
public duty to do the average
man says: "We will attend to
that tomorrow" the same as
the boy says about coming in,
"just a minute" 1t will always
be the same-for it has always
been just that way.

Mary Finley is at home from
a weeks visit in Chicago.

While in the railroad yards
yesterday, we noticed the great
amount of work that is being
done, and which will show to
good advantage in a few weeks.
The foundation for the big
power house is nearly com
pleted, and there are about forty
men working on the stone
foundation for the new twenty
stall round house, which is be-
ing built just west of the pres
ent one. The foundation is all
of stone, which will be built to
the height of four feet. This
round house will have a depth
of 80 feet to accommodate the
big engines and there will be
l3 stalls on one side of the
track that will go through it,
and seven stalls on the other
side. The wye that is now be-
ing used will be used to run in
on the turn table and a new one
put in just west of the present
location. Piling for the big
new coal shed, sand house and
water tanks, have all been
driven and there is a big gang
Of workmen commencing the
building. Engines can take
coal, water and sand from both
sides of the new buildings.
The coal shed will be elevated
and cars run up and thus un-
loaded and do away with the
primitive method of using a
windlass as heretofore.
Charley Smiths gang of
workmen are hauling dirt in
for the grades at a rapid rate
and one can stand in the local
yards and watch the men dig
into the big hill north of the
city. He has at times twenty
teams hauling and four or five
at the point of excavation.
The buildings that are being
put up, are of the best of ma
terial and surely substantial,
which fact should be encourag-
ing to the citizens of our grow
ing city. If the Northwestern
continues to build, the citizens
of Missouri Valley should GER
tain]y get into line and all
boost for home goods.

wedding gown of white silk

lace, cut princess and made en-
train. Her long tulle veil was
held in place by lilies of the
valley, and she carried a shower
bouquet of white sweet peas.
The floral decorations were
sweet peas, palms and ferns,
used in profusion. In the par
lor, where the ceremony was
performed, a half circle was
formed of palms and ferns,
which was elevated, and made
a pretty background for the
wedding party. The chande-
liers were entwined with as
paragus ferns and sprays of
sweet peas. Loose clusters of
white sweet peas were given
prominent places in the room.
In the other rooms pink was
the prevailing color, and a
handsome centerpiece of pink
sweet peas was was placed on
the dining room table. Here
dinner was served to about
fifty guests, including only the
close friends and relatives. An
informal reception was held
during the evening. Mr.. and
Mrs. Donley have gone for a

lakes Of Minnesota. On their
return they will make their
home at 1924 North Twenty
