HUGH LAvERY
Sketch of New President of the
 Common Council

Alderman Hugh J. Lavery, the new president of the Common Council, is the youngest man who ever held the position. MT. Lavery was born in this city in 1884 and he has lived in East Bridgeport all of his life. He attended the Jane street and Barnum schools He entered the commercial department of the Bridgeport High School and graduated in 1900. Inn mediately after leaving school he took up night study to prepare himself for college. Immediately after leaving the High School he entered the employ of the Sprague Ice & Coal Co.,. and has continued with them ever since. He was able to enter Yale Law School in 1908 and will graduate fin the fall of 1911, He was elected an Alderman from the Tenth district in 1909.
 For several years Alderman Lavery has been prominent in athletics. par ticularly baseball and football. having been a member of the fast Berkshire and Acorn elevens for several seasons. and the St. Joseph's football team. Despite his prominence in athletics. his studies and his business duties. he has always found time to give to the in- terests of the St. Josepll's T. l.. & B. Association, which organization has elected him it's president for four con- secutive times.

The WooIsAck.

It is a curious fact that the wool sack on which the lord chancellor sits in the British house of lords is not, strictly speaking, in the house of lords, and this is why when the lord chan cellor rises to take part in debate he first of all moves away from the wool sack to his own place as a peer before he speaks. The fact, too, explains why noble lords who desire to avoid voting sometimes merely withdraw to the woolsack, where, not being in a parliamentary sense within the house, they are not counted in a division. Again, though the lord chancellor is now invariably peer, he is not neces- sarily so, and as matter of fact the office has been held several times in the past by commoners. Tn such cases the lord chancellor could take no part in debate, not having place in the house as a peer, and his functions as speaker were strictly limited to the putting of questions and other formal proceedings regulated by precedent from the woolsack.-Iondon Graphic.

oriain of tho ssmaphors.

From the earliest times and among savage nations beacon fires and inter- rupted columns of smoke have been used to give warning of the approach of an enemy or the news of victory or defeat. Signaling by combinations of flags is another early method and is still used at sea. However, 1t was not until 1795, when Lord George Murray introduced his semaphore system, that anything like an efficient means of telegraphic communication was estab- hshed. The admiralty at the time, seeing the advantages of such a sys- tenn, caused semaphore stations to be established on all the highest points from London to Dover, Deal and Portsmouth. So effectual was the sys- tenn that message could be in favor able circumstances transmitted from London to Deal, Dover or Portsmouth and reply received back in London in seven and a half minutes. The op- eration was performed by three msn in each station, two of whom were on the lookout while the third was em- ployed in working the six shutters which were placed over the building in two vertical frames in such q way that sixty-three distinct signals could be formed.-London Strand.

HATTIE LIE BLANC

State Expects to End its Case Today or TomorrOw-Inter-
 preter May be Called
Especial from United Press. )

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 6.-That the prosecution had induced Miss Zella A. Gallant, the French inter- preter who questioned Hattie Le Blanc at the police station on the night of her arrest, follwing the mur- der of Clarence F. Glover in his Wal tham laundry, to come here, from Nova Scotia, and testify, was the re- port that spread through the court room when the 17-year-old French Canadian girls murder trial was re- stunned. today, in the East Cambridge courthouse. District Attorney HiS- gins would not confirm the story but admitted that if he could get Miss Gallant as a witness his case would be greatly strengthened. The prose- Cutfon declares Hattie's statements to the interpreter. in French, would be q strong argument for the state.
 It was stated that the state hopes to finish it's case late this afternoon, or tomorrow. If this were accom- plished, and the defense took no more time than the prosecution, Hat tie Le Blanc probably would know whether she would go to the electric chair. New England's youngest mur- deress. to be executed, or whether she would go home to her little brothers and sisters. at West Arichi- tat, c. B., by Christmas.
 Another large crowd was present when court opened, today, the larger part being women. Hattie Le Blanc, attired in her blue dress, appeared 9 little more pale and nervous than usual. as if in anticipa ton of seeing the one woman who could tell what she said at the third degree inquisi- ton before the Waltham police, a. year ago. It was stated that Miss

The Red Shirt.

The origin of the red shirtt-worn as a blouse by English women in the sixties. when Garibaldi was popular idol throughout Great Britain-is suf3- cientiy curious. When the celebrated f1libuster was warning in the South American republics he was anxious to obtain a distinctive and, above all. economical uniform for his followers. He learned that local dry goods store had an immense ''job lot" of these garments, worn by the ''sala- der0s," or cattle slaughterers. of the great South American cities. The "bar- gain sale" appealed eloquently to the leaders purse. and he led his men to victory in the butchers shirts. which are now the accepted emblem of the 'risorgomiento'' of United Italy.-Lon- don Globe.

A Lottery Romance.


 A few years ago. as the date for the drawing of the annual Christmas lot tery at Madrid was approaching. poor mechanic of Corunna was awakened three consecutive nights by the num- Der 125.S69. apparently spoken in bis ear. So impressed was he by the repe- tition of the incident that he wrote down the number and joculariy said to his wife, That number will win the first prize in the great lottery" '.Then why don't you buy the ticket?" his wife answered tokingly as she looked at the figures. Why, see, if you add them together they just come to my age. I shall be thirty-one on Christmas day" The ticket. after much trouble. was found dt had beeD reject ed a few minutes earlier by wealthy citizen of Corunna, and b"ught, and before many days had passed the me- chanic and his wife were made jubi- lant by the news that the ticket had won the first prize of f2OO, ,000.-Lon- don Globe.

Gallant may tes..Iy, this afternoon, or tomorru.. morning.
 Louis F. Callahan was the first wit ness, today. His testimony was that o'clock, in his own auto, the night he was murdered. Herbert l.. Wiley, whose automobile was used on the evening of the murder by the offic- CTS, testified that he was at the Glow CT house, and assisted in the first stated that Mrs. Glover and Mrs. Freeman attended the ceremonies, l most of the time. He said he search ed the stable, but did not go into the cellar, nor search under the "L" of the house.
 Cross-examined, he said that he thought Police Sergeant Curran car- ried a lantern and Mrs. Curran car lamp. He could not say how any room was lighted.
 William H. Mccall, superintendent of the Waltham laundry, described his visit to the laundry on the morn ing following the murder. He also explained in regard to some changes at the laundry and said he noticed some marks on the floor.
 How many were there ?" he was asked. Quite a lot" When was Saturday morning before the mur- der"
 Cross-examined, by Attorney John son, for the defense, Mccall describ- ed his visit to the laundry on the Sunday morning following the mur- der. He was next asked:
 What is the room under the pri- vate office?'' "A dressing / room." Were either of the windows in this room open?" "One was, the left one. leading into the laundry yard" "How high from the ground was this win dow?' About two feet.''
 Witness described the finding of the comb and pin, and identified them. and said that he had taken them to Inspector McKenna. He was ask ed:
 Were you informed that they had been found before?'' 'I was not" The judge here said: 'I believe already two others have testified that they found the pin.''
 Mccall described the finding of a blanket upon the floor, which had always been kept in a chest in that room. Witness described the finding of two handkerchiefs and identified one of them as Glover's, but was not sure about the other.

Their discouraging outlook is like that of an old lady who watched the first trial of new trolley line in her town.

A great deal of preparatory work seemed to be required by the motorman, and as the people stood and watched every move ment this old lady. to whom the idea of a car being able to move without any visible propelling power was in- comprehensible. kept remarking: 'Itll never go.

 Regarding the testimony concern ing the changing of the arrangements in the pressing room, which was done Monday, after the murder, he said that changes were planned early on Saturday morning to be made the followin% week.
 Under re-direct-eXaminat tion, he was asked when he first saw the comb in Mrs. Glover's possession, and he answered, Sunday, Nov. .21. Asked by Attorney Johnson, whether Fillmore was in the house when he went to ing, he answered, yes. What was Seymour Glover's work?" Shipper on the first floor, but he went all over the building"
 Francis H. Kendall, a surveyor, of Waltham, was called by the prose- he had made of the laundry and the passage leading to the outer yard.
 Seymour Glover, brother of the murdered man was next called. Glow CT described the events that followed .h.s conversation over the telephone on Sunday morning. which caused him to leave his home in Roxbury. for the Waltham laundry. arriving there about [ a. m. He described his first search of the building, in com- pany with MT. Whitehill, and of find- ing a chair, overturned. He told of the finding of the comb, which, he said. was found by MT. Whitehill, and which he thought Whitehill put in his pocket. He saw his brothers hat lying on the collar table. but did not touch it. Shortly after, when he had returned to the laundry office, MT. Fillmore came, and another search was made, Mccall attending them this time. He was asked whether he saw any marks on the floor and answer ed that he had.
 Were they straight or curved?" Straight "How many were there?" ''They covered the passageway to a width of about two and one-half to three feet.''

SkoACITY OF THE RAT.
Tho Rodents Method of Handling sr
 Eating an Egg.


 Eating an Egg.
 The rats sight is not particular, good, but its smell is keen and }: sense of locality so perfect that it vi run through its holes and galleries il pitch darkness at full speed. The greg Cuvier used especially to admire til. rats tail, which he said has moi muscles than the human hand. Cart ful experiments by Romanes, nor, over, have proved the. truth of ths ancient belief that by letting down its tail and licking the end the rat ex- tracts oil, milk, wine, molasses and other fluids from deep or narrow neck ed vessels.
 No single point, think, illustrates better the sagacity of the rat than the way in which it eats an egg. It bites through the shell sand- chips off small fragments as neatly as quirrel opens a nut, consumes the entire contents without spilling drop and then sits up and ncks itself clean like cat. Rats will steal eggs from under sit ting hen. In Washington they carried of seventy-dve dozen eggs which a commission merchant had Intentionally stored in a wooden tub. Their method of handling eggs is also characteristic. An egg is as large for a rat as a barrel for man-and much more fragile. Yet there is evi- dence of the fact that they pass eggs along from one to another, although not, probably, as has often been re- ported, by forming long lines, like a bucket brigade. The operation is nat urally a difficult one to observe, but apparently it takes two rats to each egg. One holds the egg in its paws, passes 1t on to the other and then runs ahead to take it once more fin it's turn. The same device seems to be employed to carry an egg down stairs, the one that has the egg pass ing it to it's companion, which stands on the step below. Going upstairs, however, at least in some cases, each rat puts it's head between its fore paws and pushes the egg up with it's hind feet Such appears to be the gen. eral Clure's Magazine.
