STICKLES
 IS DEAD
 IN OMAHA
Famous Fortune Teller Leaves Home Strangely and Demise Is Subject of Police Inquiry.

Superintendent Birmingham receiv- ed telegram this afternoon from the chief of police of Omaha. Neb.. which is believed to contain the news of the death in that city of Bert" Stickles. formerly of Bridgeport.
 The missive stated simply that man believed to be a former Bridge porter had died in Omaha and that from the papers in his clothes he had been identified as Charles H. s -ickles. His clothes bore a Wilson & Rusling tag.
 Friends of Bert" Stickles are sure that this is he. He left his home in West Haven some weeks ago under peculiar circumstances and disappear ed completely. He went to New Ha- ven and from there te1ephoned to his house that he would return for din- ner. but he did not appear again and his relatives were unable to obtain the slightest trace of him.
 Stickles' initials were c. H., but he generally went by his middle name. Herbert. which in popular usage was contracted to 'Ber,'. At one time he was one of the most widely known men in Bridgeport. but for several years past had been in comparative retirement
 Stickles was an enthusiastic sports man and was one of the first to in- dulge in high-powered automobiles and tear through the highways of the State.
 He was once purser on the Old Bridgeport steamboat line. He later conducted a cafe on Cannon street and later became famous through his con- nection with a ma l-order fortune tell ing scheme. At one time his fortune telling grew to such proportions that 50 clerks were needed in handling it.. He was making fortune at the time that the government issued a fraud order, closing up such fortune tell- ing establishments.
 About a year ago he married Miss Frances Benedetti of this city and took up his residence in West Haven, purchasing a handsome house in that city. His friends in Bridgeport always considered him a "hale fellow we'll met" He was a very liberal spend- CT and generous to a fault

WOMAN RATS
 WHEELED HAD
 MUCH MONEY
Especial from United Press,

New Milford, Feb 8-The inventory, filed today, of the estate of the late Emily Williams, the 70 years old re- cluse whose dead body, badly nibbled by rats, was found last December, showed property valued at $31,0O0, di- vided between real estate, $1, 200, per- sonal property $500 and cash $29,500. Five thousand of the money was found stored about the house some days af- ter her death, the remainder of the cash being stored in savings banks. In spite of the cheap and poor clothing which she habitually wore, the ap- pra sers found trunkfuls of expensive clothing much of it new, although old fashioned.
 Her nearest relatives are three first cousins, Mrs. Atherton, of Bridge port, Mrs. Frank Peet of Kent, and John Williams of New Milford.
 Miss Williams had lived alone for several years in the lower end of the village, in hermit like fashion. She was generally known as "Old Maid Williams She died as she had lived, alone. Not until forty-eight hours af- ter her death, on the investigation of a neighbor who had not seen her around the house was the hermit's body discovered. Rats had nibbled at the corpse.

REBELS TO MOVE
 AGAINST JUAREZ
Especial from United Press )

Especial from United Press.)
 Fl Paso, Feb. S--It was expected here, this morning. that the allied forces of Orozco, Blanco, Delgado and Alanis, which total about 500 men, would move against Juarez during the day.
 So strong is this belief that Ell Paso is today enjoying practical holiday with every body gathered on the river witness the thrilling spectacle.''
 The main body of the lnsurrectos camped on the river bank only two miles from Juarez, last night. after having engaged in a skirmish with the Federal body for nearly an hour, late yesterday afternoon. The only loss sustained in this skirmish was about two pieces of field artillery that he w'shes to mount before moving against Juarez. Whatever question may be raised regarding Orozco's bravery there is no gainsaying that he is a willy proposition and his appearances at the head of $50 soldiers. yesterday. near the Rio Grande, after it had been reported that he was movi.ig south, took even the war correspondents by surprise.
 The Federal troops showed but lit tie spirit in their reconnoiter, yester- day afternoon, and most of them re- tired within the city the moment the rebels began a desultory fire. Sev- eral of the cavalrymen's mounts were shot from under them and they scur- ried into Juarez on foot so scared that they never looked back.
 Banks, business houses and private citizens hurried their valuables across the river to safety. Orozco will find little loot should he take the city.

The Bird Table.


 In the old countries of Europe the bird table may still be seen in tho rural districts. A bird table is made by driving short stake into the ground and firmly mailing Ahallow wooden box on top of 1t. The box generally measures two by three feet and has number of holes in the bottom to drain it of rain or snow water. It is always high enough to be beyond reach of any cat that might try to leap to it from the ground. Care also is taken to select spot far enough from fences. trees or buildings to pre- vent cats from bouncing down on it when the birds are feeding. Into the bird table go scraps from the house table and kitchen, pieces of stale bread and cake, strips of fat meat, potato parings. carrot ends, bits of any kind of table greens. s.rple skins and cores and cabbage leaves. All kinds of nonmigratory tirds come to feed at the bird table. and many song bird has been saved by 1t from starvation when a deep snow has cov cred the ground and seed grasses. An English naturalist counted twenty seven species of birds at the bird table in his garden in a single morning after heavy fall of snow.

 ON PROGRESSIVE
 CHRISTIANITY
fspecial from United Press.

Reno, Feb. 8.-In a characteristic letter, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt has accepted an invitation from Ser ator Smith who served with him in the New York legislature, to speak at Reno on April 3. Smith, in his in vitation, told the Colonel that he was interested in progressive politics but even more so in progressive Chris tianity and suggested that the topic of the Roosevelt address be Civic Righteousness. Tn this connection, Smith informed the Colonel that the people of Reno had subscribed $11,- 900 for a Y. M. c. A. building in 10 days, the chief mover in the enter prise being P. l.. Flanagan, Catho- lie.
 Tn reply, Roosevelt said:
 Interested as I am in progressive politics am even more interested in progressive Christianity'-that is in having Catholics and Protestants join in standing on a square ethical basis. We have got to be against the man who is a crook without regard to whether he is Catholic or a Protest ant and we must not let the bigots on either side bring criminals to Ameri- ca.'
