Yale Law School Club Too Busy to Re

The Kent club of Yale Law school yesterday sent letter to Dolphin M Delmas, of counsel for Harry K. Thaw, withdrawing the invitation extended some time ago that he make an ad- dress at Yale.
 The reason for the withdrawal of the invitation as stated in the letter is that the date on which MT, Delmas could come would be late in the college year when the law school members would be preparing for their examinations. MT Delmas had just notified the club that he would come here between May 1! and 25.

 Bread Drives Mrs. Bronson From Home.
 Waterbury April 2S. Because of weird hieroglyphics on her newly bak- el bread Mrs. Isabel Bronson moved from the Ransom place, south of Kent, on Monday, and her husband found a cheerless, cold shearthstone, no light and an abandoned cat looking for consola- ton, Finally he found note saying: "Ben: You will find us down at Pet tingill's from now until I get shelter" !" Mrs. Bronson baked on Sunday trying an old brick oven. There were inn prints on the bottom of the loaves that excited Mrs. Bronson. The bread was flat and nearly twenty inches long. Plain as day on the bottom were:
 May she rest in peace" and
 "Dled May in her thirtleth year
 Glory Halelujah."
 Mrs. Bronson thought fate had de- creed she must die. but she recovered when neighbors broke the news to her \ that an old tombstone was doing duty in the oven as bottom. Mrs. Bronson will not return to the house despite her husbands pleadings.

Expensive Dog Bite-Murdel Trial Nearing End--Asks
 for $2, 800 Damages.

By a decision handed down from the superior court bench against the Fair Haven and Westville railroad company the city will receive the sum of $SS,- 2SS.15.
 This sum comes from the suit which concerne1 the assessment of the West Chapel street pavement. It was in the courts about seven years and was ap- pealed finally to the United States su- preme court.
 The railroad claimed that they should pay only $5,825, but the board of aldermen assessed them $36,S79. The courts cut down the city's claim over $3,O0O.
 The city has claim against the railroad on account of several other streets that have been paved and these eases will probably be tried separately unless a compromise is reached. The city's total claim against the railroad is about $13OOOO, including the West Chapel street pavement.
 The money thus received will be turned over to the pavement commas sion to be used in constructing perma- nent paYements.

 MURDER TRIAL NEARING END.
 The trial of the Di Lucias, Angelo and Custode, father and son, who are charged with murder in the first degree for the killing of Raffaele Petrone, on January IS, Is drawing to a close In the superior court. The defense closed it's testimoney yesterday and the state put on few witnesses in rebuttal.
 Custode Di Lucia began his testimony on the witness stand and yesterday morning his cross examination was be- gun. His testimony was similar to that of his father He said that he was knocked down by Petrone and that his father was helping him to his feet when the shot that killed Petrone rang out, evidently having been fired by Lu- ciano, who afterwards escaped.
 Custode said he had served six months in the Italian army in Sicily.

THE STORY.

words of gratitude which Ruth, his

erly.
A sound came from the other side
of the room, where the aged Naomi
was busy about the household cares
which sounded much like a sob, and
caused Ruth to look in that direction
And thee, too, MOTHER" she added
hastily, while a shadow passed over
her face, and was gone again as the
baby cooed and reached up it's little
hand and touched her cheek. She
buried her face in the little ones
clothing, as she pressed him to her
breast, and when she lifted her face
again she said, appealingly, to her
husband:
And I want our son to be named
after thee, my husband Cannot it be
500"
Again the halfsuppressed sob sound
ed from the other side of the room,
followed this time by choking voice
which said
rs not Naomi to be consulted in the
naming of the child?"
why mother dear had not
thought to shut you out. l had not
thought that you cared and again the
troubled shadow crossed her face.
win not the Lord, who hath given
us the son, also in His own good time
give us a name for him?" asked Roaz
hastily, anxious that no suspicion of
disharmony should exist between the
two women who had been so close IN
each other in love and sympathy, and
who had rejoiced together over the
coming of the babe and had planned
50 earnestly for his future.

THORNS IN THE
ROSE OF PLENTY
NOT ALL FUN TO BE WEALTHY
Men of Millions Condemned to Isolation in Life Pursued
by Selfish Greed, While After Death There Are Spu-
rious Widows, VIII Contests, and Half a Hun

While they can ring up anyone, they
themselves cannot be called on the
telephone except by the chosen few
who have their private numbers, so
that the seclusion works both ways.
In the matter of personal mail,
again, the possession of wealth and
the notoriety it inevitably brings is a
source of great Inconvenience. The
mail of a multi-millionaire is likely to
be so heavy that secretary, perhaps
a considerable staff of them, must be
employed to care for it, This mail
is of course, for the most part unso-
licited. Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, for in
stance, receives on an average from
400 to 500 letters a day making direct
appeals for charity. His own personal
mail, which is naturally large, is not
included in this number.
Volume of Mail Varies.
The volume of Mr.. Carnegie's mail
varies curiously from season to sea-
son, but it is always enormous. At
time when his name is frequently be-
fore the public the number of requests
for charity rises quickly to it's maxi
mum, while should his name not ap-
pear in the newspapers for some time
the volume of such letters decreases,
but rarely below the 400 a day mark.
The frequent appearance of Mr.. Car
negie's name in connection with the
recent peace conference served to
raise the number of letters to it's max
imum, or about 500 day. The amount
of actual hard work which such a cor
respondence entails is of course very
great.
The number of personal applica-
tions which a man of great wealth is
favored with is also a surprise. Like
the letters, they represent all classes
of society, of want and restitution
The proportion of regular beggars is
comparatively small. This class of
applicants is likely to be awed by the

great wealth to employ detectives
sometimes several of them being on
hand. Some years ago Mrs. A. r
Stewart appeared on the piazzas OF
summer hotels with a detective hover
ing within few feet of her to safe

managed, but the necessity for pro.
lection Is none the less real. Fash.
ionable weddings, where a fortune in
wedding gifts are known to be col
lected, are almost always policed. It
is common for private detective
agency to be called upon and the en-
tire arrangement looking toward its
protection placed in their hands. The
detective in charge goes over the
ground and places his men long before
the ceremony. Some of the detectives

Of course, be on constant guard in the
rooms where the presents are dis

Even the pleasure of distributing
charities becomes a very complex and
lrksome affair when the sum to be
distributed reaches enormous propor-
tions. During ones lifetime, at least.
1t would seem that it would be an easy
matter to dispose of money. AS a
matter OF fact, many men and women
OF great wealth are obliged to place
thelr benefactiOns upon a regular
business basis in order not To he

criticised. The, white light which
beats upon a throne is turned on his
slightest act The very possession Of
such great wealth serves TO antagonize
considerable proportion of the com
munity, and his most praiseworthy act
Is attributed to Interior motives, per-
haps to very selfish and unworthy
ones. One of the most familiar in
stances of this is the case of man
who ranks among the most liberal dis
tributors of public benefactions in the
world to-day, whose name is on every
ones tongue, and yet he is the subject
of bitter attack, and his benefactions
are attributed to his desire to place
certain securities in conservative
hands throughout the country. II is,
OF course, impossible to please every
one, and the dissatisfied element are
certain to feel bitterness in direct
ratio to the size of the fortunes in
volved.
The diseases of the rich are still
another disturbing factor in this bal
ance. 1t is no cxaggeration to place
a number Of distressing physical ills
in this category. The nervous and
mental strain of handling great for
tune is exceedingly trying upon the
strongest organization, 1t was Jay
Gould who remarked, during the ex-
element of a great financial panic,
that man controlling a fortune of
100000 had no time either to eat
or sleep. A man In active control Of
great fortune is obviously under a
tremendous strain AS a result cases
of physical breakdown in Wall street
are common, and men young in years
are often old in health.
Kidnapping Plots.
1t is only short time since q plot
was revealed to kidnap John ID. Rookie
Teller and hold him for the payment of
an immense ransom. Here is another
danger which man less conspicuous
for his wealth avoids. The case was,

ago Il was common for the grounds Of
great estates to be opened at certain,
hours at least to the public, but to-day
such privileges are rarely granted. In
almost every case such places are
completely walled in and the various
entrances are closely guarded. No
matter how far from the mansion may
be the lodge, no one is permitted to
enter until he has been announced by
telephone and permission has been
granted. Mr.. John d. Rockefeller. for
instance, Is as closely guarded In his
estate at Tarrytown or in Cleveland
as is royalty. Even person stopping
before one of these entrances is close.
ly watched. The estate of Mr.. George
Gould, at Lakewood, Is guarded in the
same way, while others might be
cited.
A famous murder recently has d.
rected attention to the very general
use which is made of private detec-
tives by people of great wealth. The
fact comes as surprise to many. SO
quiet figure and so much beloved a
character as Miss Helen Gould, for in
stance, frequently employs private de-
tectives as a safeguard against rob-
berry. Many well-known millionaires
go about accompanied by gentleman
Unlocking detective who acts as a
bodyguard. In many cases these men
are not employed so much to guard
against robbery as to protect them in
case they should be threatened with
actual bodily harm. Should the mail
of some wealthy man contain some
threatening letter 1t is not uncommon
for a detective to be called in and en-
gagged for a few days, perhaps for a
long period, either. to run down the
writer of the letter or to personally
accompany the wealthy man to and
from his office.
Detectives Always on Hand.
Even in their most private social
functions it is common for people of
Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1907-06-06

of course, unusual, but, On the 6thei
hand, the fear of kidnapping hangs
very heavily over the families Of the
rich AS result the children of fam
lilies OF great fortune have, as mat.
ter of fact, less liberty than children
or families in much poorer circum-
stances. The little heirs to great for
tunes cannot play in the parks or even
walk In the streets without a guard of
some sort. They must be constantly
watched Even In the country this
surveillance is continued. At scores
OF great estates throughout the coun-
try the gates are closed to the public
on the ground that the children who
are playing about would be endan-
gered.
The fear of blackmail, again, is
much more general than is generally
supposed. The mail of practically all
men OF great wealth constantly brings
them threats of every possible kind

Our great modern fortunes, again.
are often amassed with amazing rap
idity. 1t has never before in history
been possible to accumulate such
wealth in so short a period 1t is for
gotten that there is another side to
thLs situation, and that the danger of

make enormous gains, must also face

such homes. There is an army how.
ever, of men and women representing
state of genteel poverty, besides the
cranks, who would make some absurd
appeal. The door bells of MANY of
these elaborate establishments ring
continually throughout the day and
night. The methods employed of dis
posing of such callers varies. Mr..
Carnegie, for instance, denies himself
to all strangers, but his butler uses
his judgment as to whether a card
should be taken to a secretary. The
method of handling chance callers is
ingenious, The outer door opens into
shallow outer vestibule. Should the
individual in the brass buttons so de-
eide the caller is ushered through a
door at the side and up a short stair
case to a private apartment, where he
IS received by a secretary. In this
way the visitor does not reach the
main yestibule and in no way inter
feres with the privacy of the house.
Guarding Private Estates.

very wealthy must again be even
more carefully guarded A few years
