Don't Like the Crossings.

The people living in the north
west part of Louisa are complaining
of the character OF the two cross
ings recently put in at the intersec-
tion OF Perry and Lady Washington
streets. Two of the crossings at
Lady Washington and Main streets
we're taken up because they were
bad ones, and two excellent concrete
ones laid down in their place. The
stones taken from Main and Lady
Washington streets were taken to
Lady Washington and Perry. There
couple of bitches were dug and
these stones laid in them in very
Irregular, imperfect way. All of
them are very rough, and many are
below the level of the street, some
of them above it. The yellow dirt,
much of 1t, taken from the bitches
is heaped along the sides and on
the crossings, and when it rains
this dirt is mass of sticky mud.
The walking from one side of the
street to the other was much better
before the crossings we're put in,
and the people who travel along
that way think 1t is as little as the
street committee can do to put a
heavy coat of Stag or cinder on the
crossings and in this manner make
them passable. The travel in that
neighborhood is much greater than
1t is along some sections which have
been favored with fine concrete
crossings. A Citizen.

Fire at Naugatusk.

One of the most destructive fires
in the history of the town Of Nau-
gatuck occurred Wednesday morn
ing, beginning about six O'Clock. It
caught in the building occupied by
S. r. Morrison as hotel, an over
heated stove being the cause, All
the buildings being of wood and
close together, the fire spread with
great rapidity, especially as the
means of fighting it were extreme
ly limited.
1t made almost a complete sweep
of the block taking in its course
the postoffice building, owned by M.
T. Persinger, of Williamson, and
rented by A, R, Field, the Huddle-
ston building, occupied by w. B.
Maynard's saloon, the John Farr
building, and one owned by Tom
Smith. Among the heaviest losers
were the Morrison Brothers, who
lost almost everything they had; w.
B. Maynard, whose stock of liquors
was only insured about half their
value, and the Fairfax Produce Co.
The entire loss occasioned by the
fire is put at $4,000. There was
very little insurance.
Naugatuck, be it remembered, Is
the olden time Mouth of Pigeon"
and is seven miles above Warfield.
The writer of this remembers when
1t consisted of one house and the
worst ford ON Tug river between
Louisa and the mouth of Ben.

LOCAL CHINESE
ASK FOR FUND
The Imperial Government Will Be
Asked to Educate
Youths.

AS direct result of the visit in
Honolulu yesterday of Judge Anthony
Ahio, or Li-Fang. as he is officially
known as a member of the Supreme
Court OF Justice at Peking. the Chinese
imperial government will be asked bv
nm to consider the request of local
'hlnese that part of the great Boxer
indemnity fund turned back TO China
by the United States be used 70 olive
higher education to Chinese youths
born IN Hawaii, so that they may assist
IN undermining the empire.
Judge Ahl0 is Hawaiian Chinese.
educated at lolani College, Oahu Col.
lege and at Cambridge, England, and
has risen to one of the highest posi-
tons in the Judiciary department of
the empire. At dinner rendered him
yesterday at the Chinese hotel in Smith
street by his Honolulu friends. many
OF them his schoolboy chums, his rapid
rise to power was the subject of dis
cusslon. Judge Ahlo was asked to make
an address, which he attempted in Chi
nese, but had to resort to English, as
the Chinese he once spoke in Honolulu
mas gone from him, owing to his having
spoken the dialect of Picking for so
many years. His address was inter
preted into Chinese by Chang Chau
He said he was glad to meet SO many
OF his friends, and from that he touched
upon opportunities in China. He said
the empire needed lots of young men
to help bring the nation to modern
strength, to put it on parity with
other nations, and progressive young
men could succeed there
In direct response, Chang Chau asked
Judge Ahlo to seek the support of the
imperial government for the higher edu-
cation of Hawaiian born Chinese boys
out of the Boxer indemnity fund. Judge
Ahlo acknowledged the request and Will
carry it to the throne, asking that Ha-
, wanan-Chinese be placed on an equality
with the students of China.

SIMPLE LIFE MADE
SEVERE BY CAPUCHINS

NEW YORK, August 20.-Members
of the Capuchin Order of Monks in
this city have been stirred consider
ably by a report which has reached
here from Vienna to the effect that an
order recently issued by the head of
the order in Rome compels return to
the severe rules of life that were aban-
doned years ago before manv OF those
now living had taken their vows.
Father Sebastian, assistant pastor
of the Church Of st. John the Baptist,
in West Goth street, which is conducted
by Capuchin Fathers, said today that
the order, if it had been issued, had
not yet reached here, and he doubted
the report very much He said the
rules under which the brethren have
been living haze not changed for many
years ana that he thought they would
not be for some time to come
According 70 the report from Wen
ma he said, the new order directs
that the monks must never wear a hat.
They don t wear any now. It also
states that they must wear only a
coarse WOODEN garment, with no un-
dercIothing They wear such garment
now. but | do not think there will bt
any ban placed on underelething. i
Is further stated that they must not

KING is COUSIN OF EUROPE.
V. Relative of Many Mon
archs.

London.-If the late King Edward
was the "Uncle of Europe" surely
King George is entitled to be known
as the cousin of Europe.
The king is first cousin to the kais-
er, the czar of Russia, the king of
Norway and the king of Spain. AM
ong the minor Kingdoms he is first
cousin of the duke of SaXe-Coburg
and the duke of Hesse. Close cousin
ship also exists between King George
and the ruling sovereigns OF Sweden.
Greece, Roumania. Hohenlohe-Lang-
enburg, and Sake -Meiningen.
The children of the duke of Con-
naught carry the ties of cousinship to
sweden. where Margaret, the dukes
eldest daughter. is now the wife of the
crown prince, which means that still
another of King Georges first cous-
ins will occupy European throne.
The kings youngest uncle. the late
duke of Albany. left son who sue
ceeded to dukedom of SaXe-Coburg-
Gotha, thus exhibiting still one more
first cousin who holds sovereign rank.
The king of Belgium is third cousin
to our own king. So is King Manuel
of Portugal and King Ferdinand of
Bulgaria. OF German cousins, from
the emperor downward, there is no
end, for the whole of the kaiser's
children and grandchildren are King
Georges second and third cousins. and
through the Emperor Williams sis
ter he is a cousin to the duke of
Sparta. who is crown prince of the
Helenes. The king can also claim
cousinship with the Grand Duchess
Serge of Russia, all of whom We're
daughter of his aunt, the late Prin-
cess Alice.
Through his mother. Queen Alex
andra, King George is cousin 10 in
Vulnerable Danish royalties. and
through his Hanoverland ancestry he
is related to the duke of Cumberland
the dowager grand duchess of Neck
lenburg-Stetrlitz, and the crown prince
of Montenegro. But his relationship
must be as endless as varied when
one considers that the late Queen Vic
toria, his famous grandmother, left
no fewer than IS children. grand
children and great-grandchildren
Making allowances for the children
