FORTUNE GAINED
 BY A BARONESS


 London, December 5-(Special Cable.)- Baroness Von Eckhardstein has become a millionairess through strange process of living 240 out of each 365 days of each year in England. These terms are con- tained in the will of her father, Sir John Blundell Maple, the great London house. furnisher, who died five years ago.
 Sir John died worth about sl0750,0OO, which he disposed of in a remarkable will. He left the residue of his estate, after legacies had been paid, in trust for his daughter, one-half of the income to be paid her for five years, condition that she resided at least 240 days of each year in the United Kingdom. After five years she was to receive the whole of the income on the same condition, so that she is now in possession of the whole of the income produced by her fathers estate, making her more than millionairess Gin English money)
 In 1906 the Baroness made an unsuc- cessful attempt to have the clause con corning her obligatory residence in Eng land set aside. She found this stipulation ineonvenient as her husband possessed estates in Germany, and she wished to re- side there.
 In the following year the Baroness ob- the ground of cruelty and misconduct, so that now her heart is not quite so much in Germany as it was.

Would HaYneSS ZHe P0l1er
 Of 0OSa For Industries

"1t is poor business to develop river for navigation in such way as to prevent it's use for power, when by little foresight it could be made to serve both purposes. Every stream should be used to the utmost In this extract from the special message of President Roosevelt transmitting the report of the Inland Waterways com mission to Congress, lies the present brilliant prospect of an open Coosa, great free highway from Rome among the mountains to Mobile by the sea.
 For 100 years men have dreamed and worked for an open highway from the sources of the Coosa to the gulf. Nayi- gable from Rome to Gadsden, and from Wetumpka to the sea, the intervening shoals and falls and rapids of the Coosa have presented the formidable front of an enormous costa cost that seemed too great in comparison with the benefits to grow from navigation only. The government has recognized the claim of the Coosa by doing here a little and there a little, but has passed the real opening by for easier and cheaper schemes that promised earlier returns to commerce.
 A new era has dawned. Navigation is not the only use to which the run ming waters may now be put. Flee tricitv has solved many an industrial problem. and electricity is destined to unlock the barriers of the Coosa. And the electric key will be inserted at Ten Island Shoals within less than b0 miles of Birmingham.
 No railroad parallels the Coosa. No hdustry could afford the cost of works to utilize that vast power for it's sole benfit. The factory could not go to that river in search of power. But now, in the age of electricity, the power may be developed at the river and applied in the centers of industry. Navigation comes to the aid of power and power comes to the aid of navigation ana thus will the old dream become fact.
 The first great work will be done through the Coosa River Electric Power company. an enterprise little heard of in these parts, unheralded heretofore Tn the public prints and yet lusty youth with more rights and powers and pos sessions and inducements than any water power project now before the Congress and the people of the United States Here is the story:
 Its Inception.
 In the autumn of 1905 MT. R. H. Cobb came from Anniston to Birmingham With a cash capital of $50 he had begun at Anniston in 1894 the development of inc Anniston Lime and Stone company In the year 1905 when he retired from it's management the market value of it's securities was $200,00o.

tical standstill. No amount of work .on its channel will supply the lack of water to float the boat. The great dam of uhe Coosa River Electric Power company at lcck No. ?, and others that will speedily follow, will act as vast storage reser- volrs, whose waters may be turned loose at will to re-enforce the flow over the sand bars of the Alabama. How far reaching this development becomes is seen from this incidental effect and it was this feature which first recommended 1t to the division engineer at Montgomery ane carried 1t to Washington with the stamp of his approval.
 Location.
 The site of the dam is at the present lock No. ?, at Ten Island Shoals only II miles from Annitson, + miles from Gads- den and 4S miles from Birmingham. It is a small matter to transmit power these distances. mile from the dam the Sea board railroad crosses the river, while the sand and rock needed in construction are at the site itself. Each of the distin- guished engineers who have made SET veyS for the company has laid stress on the unparalleled cheapness of construc tion thus insured from the double ad- vantage of the railroad and material coming together just at the point of use
 The Market.
 There are few water powers in this country of greater magnitude than he flow of the Coosa, re-enforced for periods of low water by a great storage reser- voir 50 miles in n,length, will afford and yet not one which has a market for .ts whole output so ready made at hand. In advocating the project Senator Johnston has laid especial emphasis on this fea- ture ot the Coosa development Every horsepower that can be produced will find a market ready made in the adjacent cities, forcing down the cost not only of power, but Of light, and so Illuminating with less costly radiance the homes of the well to do, and showing the time honored lamp from the tables of the poor.
 Concerning Natural Resources.
 The waters of the Coosa now run use lessly and idly by the present Lock on their way to the sea, every gallon a waste of energy. The Lock stands there in the midst of a solitude. Boats oc- casionally come and go and leave it to it's accustomed idleness. Somewhere Q coal mine is full of bustling activity and life as 1t turns out 2000 tons of power producing fuel each working day. It is a great mine that will do that, but some day its coal will all have turned to ashes and it's miners cabins will be empty and 1t, too, will have become a solitude, ugly and unrelieved. Will a wise people wait till then to utilize a great and exhaust less mine of equal fuel power? Who would stand by and see two thousand tons of coal go rolling wasted to the sea day after day and utter no protest?

Danger of Blindness.

From the Woman's Home Companion.
 No known disease which causes blind ness is increasing under civilization. So that when we do finally come-to our sense and fight all diseases alike as we surely will we have good right to confidently expect that blindness will be practically abolished or reduced to less than five per cent of its present frequency
 Even the risk of blindness from acci- dental causes, such as wounds, blows. scaldings and burnings is very much less than it was before and still diminishing on account of the enormously increased pow CT of curing wounds of the eye given us by antsepsis and asepsis. Where ten eyes were lost by wounds becoming !n- fected, less than one eye suppurates now.

CITY NEWS.

St Mary's Alumni association Is holidays, probably on Tuesday even ing, December 29.
 John T. Egan and family, who have been living in Southington for about year, have returned to re- side in Waterbury. Mir Egan lived on North Main street for number of years until he sold his property. He then went to Southington to live, but found it not to his liking and so returned to the Brass city.
 The following cases were set down to-day for hearing in the city court: Lewis Corr vs Lyman Fine, Decem- Der II; Morris X Co vs Tarzion & Co, December IA; Jennie Corcoran ys Charles Mclean, December 15; Vincenzo Florio vs Fred Sanganaro, December 16; Dr. James A. Grady vs Michael Sheehy and John Bailey, De- cember l7. The last named two cases concern the Eagles society. The defendants are members of the so- ciety and as such claimed they were attended by the plaintiff, who sets up a contrary state of facts altogether.
 The Hotchkiss Paper Co lost it's case against the Post Bros of New London, the jury in the district court late yesterday afternoon giving verdict for the defendant to recover costs The case on trial to-day is that of William Harrington, a Demo- crat employe, against Chepenis & Paranamski. grocers, Hill street, for damages of $2,000. Harrington while coasting down Hill street last winter was run into by wagon owned by the defendants and his right leg was broken. His father, James, has another case for the same amount pending against the same parties for the loss of the boys ser vices. Attorney Cassidy appears for the plaintiffs and eRiley and Russell for the defendants. Harrington was put under a severe cross-examination but though only a boy he was good match for the lawyers.
