Poor RfiouI

During the siege of Paris Fran cisque Sarcey- indignantly protested against the practice of eating dogs. Hunger, however. knows no law, and canine and feline butcher shops were opened in different parts of Paris. Skillfully prepared. properly skinned and cooked, with a good sauce, the dogs proved excellent eating. Their meat was pink and delicate and by no means tough. Canine outlets were sold at ? francs each, and leg of dog might be purchased at double that price a pound.
 Two good bourgeois, husband and wife, had a little dog of which they were very fond. But a day came when there was nothing to eat in the house, and poor Bijou had to be killed and cooked. His master and mistress sat down to dinner with tears in their eyes. and during the dinner the latter mechanically placed the tiny rib bones on the side of her plate. Poor Bijou!'' she ejaculated with a sigh. What a treat these would have been for him!'' Frank Schlosser in Contemporary Review

EATEN DRIVEN FROM ENGLAND

Before Sailing on Mauretan- ia at Liverpool Today He Expresses Sorrow for Ig= norance of Manchester Cotton SDinners.

Especial from United Press. )


 Liverpool, March. 12.-Still looking somewhat crestfallen over his treat ment in Manchester yesterday when he was hooted from the cotton ex- change and so roughly assailed by a street mob that he had to take re- fuge in storeroorn until police pro- lection could arrive, James Patten, the Chicago cotton and wheat dealer, sailed today for American aboard the Mauretania.
 ''The trouble with the people of Manchester Patten said, ''is that they don't appreciate that I am not responsible for the law of supply and demand. They ought to travel a bit for I never saw people so in need of broadening.
 tsUntiI the Manchester cotton spin ners do learn more of the funda- mental principles of their business they will never be able to compete successfully with the rest of the world. I would not Intentionally of fend them but certainly am sorry for their ignorance. No greater proof of their ignorance is needed than the demonstration against me. I have no more to do with the cotton industry in Manchester and with the condition of the English wheat market than with the movements of Halley's cOmet.''

FORMER IS ARRESTED, CHARG- ED WITH FORGERY, AND LAT TER IS FOUND UNCONSCIOUS BESIDE HIS ENGINE.

Le Roy c. Loughborough, assistant keeper of the Norwalk light, yesterday told a thrilling story of his il days continuous duty at the light, after he had been resuscitated from the half starved, serni-conscious condition in which John $. Haywood, assistant su- perntendent of lights, found him on his arrival on the lighthouse tender, PanSy, from New York.
 Loughborough had been deserted by lighthouse keeper John M. Kiarson, who was arrested in Bridgeport, yes which he had spent his own money and the proceeds of a check which he is alleged to have forged in the name of Loughborough.
 KiarSon was taken to Norwa1k yes terday noon to answer to the charge of forgery.
 When Haywood, assistant superin- tendent of lights, arrived at the Nor walk light from New York yesterday on the tender Pansy, there was no one to greet him or salute him and his calls brought no response. As he entered the engine room of the light house Loughborough was found uncon- scious on the floor and the only wei come was from the starving dog, just able to lift his head and wag his tail.
 q am all alone, sir" the keeper said in a, half apologetic tone, as if to ex- cuSe- himself for being found in that condition when Haywood aroused him. An examination of the books showed that for the first five days all the light registrations had been made by Loughborough and that for the last six days, which included three days and nights of continual fog, there had been no entry.
 With a little warm food Loughbor- ough soon recovered enough of his strength to assist in the search, which was started for Kiarson, who had left the light eleven days before. He was finally found in this city, where he had been celebrating. Not only had he used up his monthly pay check, but he had indorsed the name of his as sistant, and the second check for $44.- 69 was going the way of the first in helping along the celebration. He was locked up in the local station house.
 f'Not for all the money in the United States mint would I go through that experience again. said Loughborough, after he had recovered sufficiently to tell of his experience. "I feel ten years older, and can see that my hair has turned gray as the result of the loss of sleep and the strain that was under.
 -'It would not have been so bad, except for the awful fog that kept me over the engines night and day. There were times that thought l flag inverted, thinking that if some ship would come along I would escape to the mainland and abandon the light Then I would go up and take the flag down and make up my mind to stick through to the end, and, anyway, the fog was so thick that the signal could not be Seen.''

ROCKEFELLER
 FORTUNE
Statisticians Figure that It Will Reach Thirty-Nine Billions in 1879.
Especial from United Press. ,

l
 New York. March 12.-New York CTS are trying to digest today a few figures gathered by men who like statistics as the result of the suggest ed cha.rtering of the Rockefeller Foundation in Washington. The men who like to figure, after working for 8 week on their mathematical prob lem today took the breath from the rank and file of New Workers by de- claring that if the Rockefeller for tune is turned over to the founda- ton and permitted to accumulate as may be expected, in 1879 the person or persons who have the Rockefeller fortune under their control will have thirty-nine billion dollars. This amount would equal the present na- tional debt of the entire world.
 According to the mathematical sharks these figures are based on moderate rate of interest and do not take into consideration that some of his investments John D. is draw ing down better than fifty per cent Incidentally those who are not good at figures are willing to take the word of the matt arnaticians and let it go at that.

Clergyman in Brief EuIogy Pays Tri-
 bute to Heroism of Deitz-Says
 Such An Act Should Be Remem-
 bered. When Police Force is Under Criticism.
 While the home of the late Patrol man Deitz was besieged by thousands who crowded the streets in all direc- tions, Rev. C. Sturgis Ball, pastor of the Summerfield M. E. church, yester- daXrpaid touching tribute to the mem ory of the patrolraan. A1luding to the anarchist who had slain the patrol man, the clergyman pointed out that such tragedy was not without it's lives should be such to remedy conditions that give excuse for the be- ing of anarchy.
 Rev: MT. Balls eulogy follows:
 This is one of those occasions on which speech is silver and silence is golden. Yet it would be wrong to let this opportunity pass without some brief attempt to improve it. Not only those present here today, but all oth- CTS throughout this city and even far beyond the precincts of the city have event which has brought us here at this hour. It would not be right to let this stirring of our hearts and in transient sentiment, for the occasion of it was too costly; if we did <-the question of the Scriptures would most fittingly apply-tfto what purpose all this waSte?''
 1.-TWO lessons at least has this signi- fcant and sad event for us, which we all should take to heart. One is a social-for if the facts are correctly reported, one factor in the insanity of the unfortunate man who was the cause of all his sorrow-is stated to be the reading of anarchistic literature. He represents an abnormal side of so- c fnY- in it's more reasonable phases. Yet we must remember that even anarchy is a protest called out by the existing state of things. An unreasonable, un- Justifiable, unrighteous form of pro- test if you will, but yet bearing it's re- lation to the state of things as they the. influence of our lives to make so- 'ciety what it should be as to cut the ground entirely from under the feet of all who hold such positions-by talk ing away every Vestige of reason for their existence.
 .'I'he other lesson is moral and re- Igious. Our brother Deitz died in the best way any man can die-at his post-doing his duty. This is some thing to be remembered and especially when unjust and unfair criticism is 1evelled against the police force to which he belonged, and which as member he adorned.
 We too have our duty-duty to God-duty to man. Our duty to God is to think of Him, reverence Him, worship. trust, obey Him, our duty to man to let the whole weight of our lives tell in favor of influences making for the betterment and happi- ness of our fellow men. These two go together, must go together in or der that life be rightly lived. They are in fact the inner and outer side of religion. Let us think of duty then in this great sense, let us live to do it-let death find us as death found our brot11er-at our post; then the Masters coming, whenever it will be, will be nothing to fear for we shall share His own beattitude-BIess- ed are they who, when the Lord cometh, He shall find doing"

CHASE SAYS IDEALS IN ART DISCOURAGE
 A YOUNG STUDENT
CONFESSES THAT AS STUDENT, HE REGARDED OLD MASTERS AS BUNCOMBE.
URGES THE ART F,NTHrJsIAsT TO PURSUE HIS WORK ALONG THE LINES OF LEAST RESISTANCE

William Merritt Chase, whose col lection of paintings has attracted wide spread attention at the art gallery of the public library since March 1, ad- dressed about 200 art enthusiasts at the library lecture room, last even ing on modern art. One of the fore most painters of the age, the founder of the Chase school of arts, and art ists. MT. Chase was listened to with the closest attention. His address par took more of the nature of an infor- mai conversation. than a lecture.
 Dwelling upon the progress that America has made in art, and of the enlinence of Columbia among the na- tions, MT. Chase encouraged students to pursue their inc1inatiOns rather than the ideals held up to them by others. With pardonable egotisIn he cited his own case example of the diff culties that beset the young student. On his first trip abroad, he said, he took very little stock in the old mas ters. He regarded the admiration for their work as buncombe. But thank heaven. I held my tongue,' said he. Later I realized my youthful folly"
 He said the attempt of the young student to admire and copy models for which he could excite on his own part no admiration, was the building of a stone walI between himself and his Ideals. The three essentials of art, he said were truth, technique and quality.
 The exhibition of MT. Glasses work will remain at the library until next Tuesday.

POINTS OF INTEREST.
Light

Light is a subject we are all inter ested in, whether it be the nlanufac- turerd product which produces the re- suits or the rays of the sun or moon. Modern science has enabled us to overcome the darkness in our homes, stores and streets by use of gas and elect1 icity. Do we give the consid- eration as to the harmonious and decor ative effects of our fixtures with their surrounding furnishings? A short time spent in looking over the large assortment of fixtures, domes and shower effects now on display at the Bridgeport Gas Fixture Co., 869 Main street, will give you modern ideas.
