New York.-The four grim gray
walls of the city prison over on Black
wells Island have been just bursting
with the secret of n romantic engage
mont, and there is a smile these days
on the faces of the forlorn creatures
forced to live therefor the fortunate
man is DR.. Philip B. Matz, assistant
physician to the prison and the friend
Fof every unfortunate inmate of that
place, according to the Sunday World
The heroine in the case is Miss Jo-
sephine Brown, who lives at No. 204
West Ninety-fourth street, New York.
1t was on mission of mercy to "the
island" that Miss Brown met DR.. Matz
but to begin at the beginning:
"A little over II years ago Chicago
was taking very great interest in
deed in little seven-year-old girl who
could play the violin with the skill of
3 born artist. The little one was Jo-
sephine Brown. She had won her
hcnors at series of public concerts.
A year or two later she came to New
York with her mother, and added to
her fame as violinist was her repu-
tation for childish beauty. The almost
perfectly formed features of her face,
the magnificent black eyes and long,
1etblack hair acclaimed her wherever
she appeared. Those who were
charmed with ner then predicted that
as she grew older she would become
one of the most beautiful women in
the world.
In New York Mrs. Brown secured
for her daughter the leading violin
teachers, and very soon musicians
and artists were attracted toward the
little western girl. Photographers,
artists in black and white and those
who painted in oil besieged the
mother to allow Josephine to pose for
them. Mrs. Brown granted as many
OF these requests as possible, and the
Madonna-like face of the little girl
became well known in the artists
studios Of the city.
All Countries Praise Beauty.
Quite without the knowledge of
Miss Brown or her mother, little
over a year ago one of the artists
who - aeen attracted by the beauty
Ur the little girl when she first ar
rived in New York, sent his portraits
OF her to London, Berlin and st. Pc
tersburg and entered them in beauty
contests then being held in those
cities. A different nose of Miss
Brown was sent to easn place, but in
every city the judges were unanimous
in awarding her the first prize for
beauty
Pleased as she was by the honor

True American Girl.

Splendid type of the American girl
is the fiancee of Dr. Matt, equally at
home in the drawing or music room,
or on the golf links. Fond of all
healthy outdoor sports, she is splen-
did horsewoman and a skillful wielder
of the golf clubs. The showers of
congratulations coming to Miss Brown
belong more properly to Dr. Matz. who
has won so charming a bride. That
their married life may be happy and
long will be the wish of all who cher
ish sentiment and are glad when the
path of true love is occasionally
smooth.

SUNDAY PICTURES
Notice 10 Discontinue Business
 Given By Superintendent.

No more moving pictures or Sum day. As result of complaint en- tered against Polls theater and Eagles hall, where moving pictures have been held Sunday afternoons and evenings, the places have been ordered to close on the Sabbath in the future. Superintendent of Po- lice Beach called in Manager Par sons of Poli's and Managers Me M0hon and Halliwell of Eagles hall this morning aud informed them that henceforth their machines must not work on Sunday. It is said that the order to close comes as the re- suit of the determination of "Heinie" Freeman, proprietor of the 5-cent theater on East Main street, to make the others shut down on Sunday if he were not allowed to run his house on that day. He was willing to swear out complaint against the moving picture shows on Sunday, and if he did, arrests would follow, so there was nothing to do Lut in- form the managers they must quit.
 "Heinie'has been making an effort for some time to receive permission to run his theater, which is located on East Main street close to the Im- maculate Conception church, on the first day of the week but has been un- successful. The former proprietor of the place, James Harrington, the lunch man, was also unsuccessful in the attempt. He opened one Sunday and was arrested intending to fight the case, but he later sold out. At that time he stated that he would close the other houses if he were not allowed to have the same privileges as they had but he did not do so.
 Superintendent of Police Beach did not care to say much about the mat ter. He stated that complaints had been made and that there was noth- ing to do but order the places to close But you undoubtedly know if I were to enforce all the Sunday laws that are in the statute books the police station would be damned on Sunday morning. It is as much of violation of the law to sell newspaper, open a store, or engage in any kind of business on Sunday as it is for thea. ter to keep open on that day and run moving pictures. But no complaints are ever made about these things The maximum penalty for the offense is $50.
 Some one will come forth soon in all probability and demand that all the old blue laws be enforced on the Sabbath.

THE DUNN CASE
Judge Curiis's Decision Was
 Handed Down To-Day.

Judge Howard J. Curtis of the su- perior court to-day handed down his decision in the cases of Francis Dunn's appeal from the probate and Michael Dunn's and his children against Mrs Margaret Grant and others, all of Naugatuck. The first named case was merely to set aside an order of the probate court allowing Mrs Grant to sell land belonging to the estate of one Hanora Dalton. This was decid- ed for the appellee. The other was a suit for damages of $30,OOO against Mrs Grant, and incidentally Louis Moulthrop grocer who was her bondsman, in her capacity as conser- yator over Mrs Dalton.
 It was claimed that she sold the land to Moulthrop with the inferred proviso that he should reconvey it back to her within reasonable time, that the land was worth $30000 and Mrs Grant sold it to Moulthrop for $500. The Dunns enter into the case because of being grandchildren of MTS DdltOH.
 It was shown during the trial that the land was not worth anything like $3O,O0O. Carmody appeared for the plaintiff and Kennedy for the defend ants. The courts memorandum says there was no evidence to show that the land was worth $30,OO0, though it was alleged to be. The evidence did not disclose it was worth much more than $1,500 when sold and Mrs Grant knew that.
 "I am satisfied" said the court, ''that when she sold it to Moulthrop she expected to have it conveyed back to her, or, at her request, for sub stantially the price it was sold for, that the sale was made by her to him at private sale at sum which she knew was far less than its actual value, because of the hope of that ex- pectation." -e-...
 He finds no evidence of conspiracy to defraud the heirs, and that fair market value of the land was $2,300 at the time it was sold, and that the plaintiffs lost $500, Judgment for that amount was accordingly allowed with interests and costs.

SALE OF BONDS
Much Interest Taken In Coming
 Meeting of Inc Aldermen

Much interest Is centered in the result of the special meeting of the board of aldermen which will be call ed for Monday evening, February "A
 to take action on bids for the sale of bonds for street improvements, ig case any proposals should be receiv- ed. While the contract calls for the expenditure of very large share Ot the bonds on approaches to the rail- road station, enough of 1t will be left
 1t is hoped, to put Clark street through and also finish the Homer street project or most of 1t at least
 The proceeds from the bonds cannot be used for other purposes and 1t Is too bad that this is so, for there are other things that demand attention and many make no bones of stating that 1t was mistake not to have in cluded them in the act when the mat ter was before the legislature. It will take $17,000 to work Clark street and the Waterville job will cost some- thing in the neighborhood of $40,000. one-half of which will be paid by the railroad people. In case the bonds should be sold it is probable that work will be started as soon as the fine weather sets in on the Clark street and Waterville improvements and that an effort will be made to do as much as possible in both places this year. The fourth ward aldermen are keeping sharp lookout for Clark street, while MT Buck is credited with being on the lookout for the proposed changes in Waterville
 which will do away with the zigzag valley line and make other changes that are desirable. Although when the matter was first brought to the attention of the aldermen nobody thought it stood much show of going through in the near future. But the people got together and when this IS done their is merit in their conten- tion and things are bound to come their way without much delay.

THE DIVORCE COURT.
One Decree Was Granted and One
 Case Adjourned,

Mrs Caroline G. Hills was the first of the 9 applicants for divorce heard to-day by Judge Reed. In June, 1905 the plaintiff was married to Harry c. Hills and year ago she left him. Infidelity was the allegation in the case, but the other party to the transaction was unknown to the plaintiff. It is safe to say that 1t will be many a year before Mrs Hills will forget her experience in the court room. The nature of the testimony was very disagreeable. The witnesses were Drs c. A. Monagan and Charles M. Engelke, John P. Jones, a drug gist and Bessie Cumminskis of 20 Irving place. Mrs Hills lives at 347 West Main street and is a dressmak- CT. She is quite young woman and judging from her looks she saw no reason for being asked the singular questions she was obliged to answer Hills used to work for the Waterbury Brass company. The court requested further information from the doctors but as they had left the court room and could not be found the case was continued to next Friday when they will be called to the stand again.
 Mrs Ida Freeman, colored, was the other applicant. Arthur E. Freeman was the defendant n this case, and desertion was the allega- tor. The parties were married on October 1, 1885, and on August, 1896, the parted. Mrs Freeman said her husband was good for nothing. He never supported either hor or their six children, and she had to have him arrested two or three times. He would take the lest cent in the house for drink and he cared for nothing but good time In his own way. In a fracas he broke tooth in his wife's mouth.
 ''The last year we lived together" said Mrs Freeman, T give him jes' wha' he give me-"
 What do you mean by that?" asked the court.
 '1 jes' let him go, jedye. An would not cook his meals, nor wash his things nor mend them," was her answer.
 Well, madam, don't you think that if you had not done these things your husband might have Inended his ways?"
 Sure. no. jedge; he couldn't a don it. nevah. He used to say they couldn't run the shop without him and he'd sleep all day a ped; but the shop i'd run all right, suh."
 X woman named Mrs Jane Mitch- ell said she was called in once when Mrs Freeman was very sick and she founo the house in terrible state and the children like barbarlsns. But now her children are grown up and she is very we'll fixed, indeed. There were two or three other wit nesses and Mrs Freeman was nncr- ated from her husband. Where he is snc does not know.
