Rosa bc1nsGrs rumble Lover.
When asked why she had never mar
ried Rosa Bonheur always answered:
Nobody ever fell in love with me. j
have never been truly loved. More
than one man. however. really worship
ed her. But she inspired such deep re-
spect that no man seems to have dared
to reveal his feelings to her. There Is
curious example of this fact, taken
from the humble walks Of life. On
several occasions Rosa Bonheur had
done service for a workingman who
throughout his life spent his savings
in buying engravings Of her principal
pictures and photographs of herself
His simple dwelling was temple to
her kindness. He described himself
as "the earthworm in love with a
star" The person here referred to
e. A. Bautray of Clermont-berrand-
tells me that Rosa Bonheur once asked
him why he was not married. and he
replied by asking her the same ques-
ton. Here was her answer: well,
sir, it is not because am an enemy
of marriage, but assure you that 1

subject" "Reminiscences OF Rosa

Mullins Wouldn't
Tie White Woman
To CoIored Man

While attending the performance
last evening of 1.-THE Marriage Came"
along with other city officials, AS
sistant Town Clerk, William T. Mul-
Inns was called out to issue marriage
license to a negro and white woman
both of whom claimed their residence
as New Haven. Going to the City
Hall, where the couple awaited his
arrival, Mr.. Mullins questioned them
on their plans. Both were willing to
be married, the woman more so than
her dusky attendant. She intimated
that necessity compelled her to take
the negro for "a husband The couple
made it known to Clerk Mullins that
after the license was issued they in
tended to call upon him to marry
them. Clerk Mullins informed the two
that though he was compelled by law
a party to a marriage between a
negro and white person. The wom-
an begged and pleaded with Clerk
Mullins that he perform the ceremony
but he was obdurate. When the two
became convinced that Clerk Mullins
would not officiate, and that they
would experience considerable trouble
in securing either a clergyman or JUS
tice of the peace in this city to tie
the knot, they decided not to pay out
any money for a marriage license,
and left the office. On leaving the
building, the woman informed Clerk
Mullins that they would get the. Ii
cense in another town, and that they
would yet be lawfully welded. Clerk
Mullins as he had not even entered
his office, did not secure either of
the names of the applicants.

MEXICAN WAR
fContiued from Page IL

outside of Juarez retreated into the
hills several miles back from the city.
Madero and his lieutenants charge
that it was not by their orders that
yesterdays fight took place. Madero
declares he tried in vain to check his
men after the battle had once opened,
but failed because of their anxiety to
fight, long suppressed because of the
armistice, would be denied no longer
1t was impossible. at an early hour
today, to establish the casualties
among the Federal and rebel forces.
Madero was clearly angry at the
way his men acted, especially because
they ignored his orders yesterday aft
ernoon when he and Navarro agreed
by telephone to stop the engagement
Immediately.
Madero insisted that he did not at
any time authorize an attack on
Juarez The cause of it is not known
definitely. The Federals charge that
l50 insurgents rode UP to the Federal
trenches about noon, yesterday. and
began firing, forcing the Federals to
give battle. Madero, in a formal
statement, expressed his sorrow that
any clash Occurred, especially at a
time when the coming of peace SEEM
ed certain. He places the blame on
Colonel Manuel Tamborell, jefe de
arms of Juarez, who has been issuing
statements calling the insurgents cow
ards and daring them to fight.
The insurgent force engaged was
never large at any time. The first
few hours of the attack were devoted
to desultory firing at long range, but
about p. m. the Federals brought
heavy artillery into action and did
great deal of execution in the insur-
gent ranks Shortly after this, the
Federals abandoned their trenches and
retired into the city closely pursued
by the insurgents. Just before. dark
there was some terrific close range
fighting.
When darkness fell the insurgents
retired. Madero's lieutenants urged
him to follow up the insurgent sue
cess and order an attack. Such an
order was actually issued by Madero
but later countermanded.
While it is impossible to estimate
the casualties, insurgents who partici-
pated in the fighting assert that at
least 40 Federals were killed in the
trenches west of JuareZ. They also
allege that they saw many dead lying
in the streets of Juarez, but this can
not be confirmed.
Only one Of the five persons killed
on the American side Of the border
has been identified. He is Antonio
Garcia, the first person slain. The
latest report is that two Americans
standing on the Santa Fee bridge were
struck by bullets, late last night, and
instantly killed.

If the House concurs on this matter,
Connecticut will be the first State in

A fair May day is all that is need
ed to bring out splendid crowds for
the big Wild West Show of the 101
Ranch which appears tomorrow for
two performances, afternoon and
evening, at the circus grounds on
Fairfield avenue.
This Wild West show is larger than
ever and is making a great hit where
ever it appears this year.
The circus gets it's name from a
great big Oklahoma ranch, owned by
the proprietor of the Wild West show.
Here it is that many of the perform
ers pass the winter months, and there
are no fake cowboys or cowgirls,
they are all the real article.
All of the riding feats are very
daring. None of the attra ctive, and
spectacular features of real Wild
West show is omitted. Expert horse
men and horsewomen, crack marks
men, Indians, squaws and papooses
in native costume, and all the pic
turesque surroundings of the old
frontier days will be shown with as
much realism as it is possible to put
into a production. Young Bridgeport
