STOLEN BONDS ARE RECOVERED
NEW BRITAIN BANK SECURES
$4,000 OF WALKER LOOT.
Echo of an Embezzlement Which
Reached a Total Of About
$542, 900.

NEW BRITAIN, Conn.,, September H.
The Savings Bank Of New Britain today
announced that 1t had recovered S5OOOO
worth of the bonds stolen BY the former
treasurer, William F. Walker, who is
now serving a sentence in the state pris-
on III Wethersf1eld. Walkers embezzle-
ment reached a total of about $542,O0
mostly In securities. He was captured IN
June, 1905, at Ensenada, Lower Califor-
mia, and brought back the following
month.
The banks statement Is to the eject
that about the LIST of September some of
the coupons on the stolen bonds were
presented for payment, which was re
fused at the request Of the bank. In this
way the bank learned that large block
Of bonds had been pledged as security for
loans by John J. Ryan. a stock and bond
broker Of Cincinnati, at the Fifth-Third
National Bank and the First National
Bank Of that city. by whom they were
forwarded to their New York correspon-
dents.
Legal Proceedings.
Finding them in possession of this New
York bank. the Savings Bank Of New
Britain brought legal proceedings against
the bank and Ryan and obtained an in
junction through Morrill, & Rogers, its
counsel, in New York, forbidding the New
York bank from disposing Of the bonds

which had been advanced, pending deter

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

"As the moon Is always near the
ecliptic, the line Joining the cusps Is
always nearly at right angles to the
ecliptic; and It follows, OF course, that
rs the angle at which the eclipIc is
Inclined to the horizon is variable, so
the position OF the line Joining the
cusps also varies with respect to the
horizon. AS respects the gibbous
moon, or moon more than half full
these variations are not much no.
ticed, but in the case OF the new or
crescent moon, generally observed
quite near the horizon. they are very
noteworthy and can hardly fail to
attract attention. Tho line joining
the cusps cannot be actually upright
when the sun is below the horizon.
for the line must always be square to
the great circle passing through the
sun and moon, and, Of course, when
the moon Is above and the sun below
the horizon, this great circle is In
clined TO the horizon, and a line per-
pendlcular to it is correspondlngly In
cllned from the vertical. Similar
considerations will apply TO the case
Of the old crescent moon before sun
rise, soon after the vernal equinox,
when the horns are turned in the
opposite direction.
at will be obvious, from the ex-
IRENE cases we have described, that
the line Joining the cusps may have
every possible inclination to tho hori-
zon, from being nearly vertical to
horizontal position, and even that the
northern cusp may be below the
southern, according to the season of
the year and the moons position in
her orbit, so that, as the late Pro-
fessor Proctor well remarked. to as
sert that there will be such and such
weather when the line Joining the
cusps is seen (for instance) nearly
horizontal, the moon being new, is
the same as asserting that there must
be such and such weather at the time
Of the new moon in February and
March, II the moon is then nearly at
her maximum distance from the eclip-
tic. And go with all such cases. II

predictions, they would imply the
strictly cyclic return Of such and such
weather.
"The tradition that the crescent OF
the new moon, when nearly horizon
tai, foretells a dry month, or when
nearly vertical wet month. Is too
absurd to be refuted, as 1t is without
any foundation whatever. Like most
other so-called signs those who ac-
cept them do so from condolences OBJ
served. Cases which prove the
signs are noted, but those which do
not are neglected, and we are con-
WINGED only because we wish to be
convinced"

not the least important part of this

portant points in this regard is that
the housewife should market econom-
ically. This does not mean buying
on cheap scale-anyone can do that
but a judicious purchasing Of all
requisite articles. The most econom-
ical buyer is the one who gets the
greatest returns for the least ex-
