A NEW LIFE
 OF LINCOLN
ne-Year-Old Hungarian Boy Sets Down His Ideas of Great President Who Freed the Slaves.

Here is child's story of the life of Lincoln, as told by nine year old Hungarian youth, at the Longfellow School. The parents of this little fel- low probably never had heard of Lin- coin. He had heard nothing, except ing few anecdotes of the martyr, from the lips of his teacher. This is the way he handled the subject. after his teacher had asked him to reproduce the principal points of what he had heard. It pleasantly appears that there is a time ir a child's life when Jef- fries is much bigger man than Roose- welt. It will be seen that the wrestling match in which Lincoln as young man overthrow his opponent for a bet made bigger impression on the lit- tie fellows mind than the freeing of four million slaves.
 The composition follows:
 "One day Lincoln was walking in the wood and he met some man
 "And the men asked him if he could resall (wrestle) this man.
 And Ar aham said he would bet
 ''So Lincoln said he would not resall if they won't bet
 'So they bet in five doller
 ESQ the man jumped on Lincoln
 "And Lincoln thron him down
 "And Abraham asked him if he was down, he said yes. So Abra- ham won the five dollers.
 When he was about 19 years old he owned a country store, he had a portnor, (partner)
 "So Abraham was always study ing for law

PARENTS GO TO JAIL.
Cases in Superior Court in Litchfield
 County.

winsted, Feb. l2.-A pitiful scene was ena cted Tn the superior court room yesterday afternoon when. Edward Seaver and Mrs. Eliza F. Barden, who have been living together as man and wife, were remanded to jail in default of bail. Two little girls. aged and 5 years. cried bitterly when taken from their mother, who fell to her knees on the floor praying fervently. The. Con- necticut Humane Society will take charge of the children. George $. Bar den, husband of the woman. is serv- ing a sentence in state prison for in- cest. The couple have been living in New Hartford, but were advised to leave and came to Winsted. They were arrested on a bench warrant on complaint of older children of Mrs. Barden who left their home because of her actions.
 Six divorces were granted by Judge Gager. In the case of Mrs. Grace M. Best or Winsted vs. Mott Best, it was shown that Best attempted to kill his wife on several occasions. He started to choke her to death twice but was interrupted. and again tried to kill her by putting carbolic acid in a cup of tea She became suspicious when the tea burned her mouth and did not drink it. Albert Burwell analysed the tea and found 10 per cent carbolic acid. They formerly resided in Philmont, N. T., and MT. Best owns a. block there valued at $6,000. He left the state when an order was passed by the court granting Mrs. Best an allowance pend ing the trial of the case. Judge Gag CT granted the decree and allowed Mrs. Best $1 800 alimony.
 Charles T. Barnard of Hartford, got a decree from isabelle Barnard of winsted on the ground of desertion. They were married in December 1901 and separated five years later. He said his wife found fault because he was poor. Desertion was also charged in the case of James H. Kenny, vs. Agnes M. Kenny. another Winsted case. They lived together only two years and Kenny attributed their trouble to the meddling of his father in-law George Maier

of priest of the Polish National parish in Winnipeg up to February first when he contemplated deserting them year ago?
 How could Rev. Plucinski denounce the Roman Catholic Church as the enemy of the Polish nation (as he did in articles in the Straz) when at that time he was flirting with the church he was denouncing so vehemently? :? Father Plucinsks duplicity is appar- ent.
 Now as to the true cause of Rev. Plucinski's conversion. As stated above the Winnipeg parish was Rev. Plucinski's last chance of retaining his position. with the National Polish Church. Six months ago appeals be- gan to pour in on the Bishop for his removal. Therefore Rev. Plucinski saw two alternatives, to lose his live lihood or re-enter the Roman Catholic Church. Those who run may read" Father Plucinski's conversion follow ed of course.

LETTER FROM REV.
 A. A. SOSNOWSKI
St. Josephs Polish National Catholic
 Church.
 45 California St.
Bridgeport, Conn. Feb. il, TO.


 45 California St..
 Bridgeport Conn, Feb. il, TO. Editor Brid dgeport Evening Farmer:
 Sir-Kindly allow me to make few corrections on an article that appeared in your paper on Feb. 10th in reference to t1e conversion to the Roman Cath ollie Church of Rev. Anthony Plucin- ski pastor of the Polish National Church of Winnipeg. Manitoba. and formerly of St. Joseph's Church in California street in this city.
 The article reads: "A few disgT'untled sided over by Father Baran joined in the movement with others not of the Roman, Catholic faith'' to establish the National Polish Church in Bridgeport The truth is that fully two-thirds or about four hundred families joined in this movement to establish an inde- pendent church, and that the founders were all of the Roman Catholic faith. Rev. Anthony Plucinski was sent by the Polish National Church to take charge of this movement and build a church in Bridgeport But because Rev. Plucinski was unqualified to lead these people and because of his un- popularity among them the member ship soon dropped to 100 families and appeals were made to the Bishop to have him removed. When I was sent a year ago to relieve him. I found only 25 families still adhering to the Ma tional Polish Church. After six months we built a church and our con- gregation was increased to 200 families and is steadily growing.
 It may prove interesting to those who read of Father Plucinskis con version to know that in nine years Father Plucinski has occupied ten diff ferent parishes of our church, and that from each parish appeals for his re- nlOval were made When Father Plucinski was given the Winnipeg par ish it was with the understanding that it was his last chance.
 Father Plucinski states that before leaving Bridgeport he had already contemplated re-entering the Roman Catholic Church That being so. how could he consistently attack the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church only six weeks ago. as he did in articles appearing over his signature in "Straz" the weekly paper published by the Polish National Church? How could Rev Plucinski accept the salary

YOUNG NEGRESS MAY
 ALWAYS BE INVALID
Cases of Dr.Bunnen and Ed win Luckett Again Con tinued in City Court.

Sunshine Evelyn Lockwood, the young negress for whose condition n Dr. William H. Bunnell and Edwin Luckett, the latter colored porter, are held under heavy bonds, will be an invalid for life as the result of her long fight for life at St. Vincent's s hospital.
 In the city court today the cases of the physician and the porter ar ested several weeks ago were con- tinued until March 5. Bail remained the same, $3,500 for the physician, and s2,500 for the porter. Both are at liberty.
 The continuance was asked that the men might be held until the girl, who is slowly regaining her strength, may be able to appear in the city court as witnesses against the men. It is charged that Luckett took the girl to Dr. Bunnell for an illegal operation, and that the latter per- formed it.
 The case came to the attention of

COURT REGRETS
 RULE OF LAW
Judge Bennett Makes Sig nificant Statement in De- nying Motion for Non Suit.

New Haven. Feb. 12.-With a state ment that is regarded by attorneys as very significant Judge Bennett in the civil side of the superior court yester- day afternoon denied the motion by Attorney Shipman of Hartford for a non-suit in the action of George K. Hodedon former proprietor of the Ho- tel Dom in Hartford against Attorney Benedict M. Holden. Judge Bennett said,
 "I do not think that I can grant your motion. I regret that the rule of law permits court to grant a non- suit only In eases where there Is no substantiaI evidence in support of a cause of action. If I had the right upon this motion to pass upon the credibiiity of witnesses and the proba- bility of evidence my decision might be entirely otherwise. But as the law stands the motion Is denied"
