Women, seldom, if ever, forsook
home thus. Woman never evaded mere
temporal calamity by suicide or deser-
ton. The proud banker, rather than
live to see his property sazetted, NAV
blow out his brains and leave his wife
and children in want and unprotected
Loving woman would have Counselled
him to accept poverty, and live to cher
ish his family and retrieve his fortune.
Woman should be counselled and con-
fided in. 1t is the beauty and glory OF
her nature that it instinctively grasps at
and clngs to the truth and right.
Reason, mans greatest faculty takes
time to hesitate before it decides; bat
womans instinct never hesltates/in its
decision, and it is scarcely ever wrong
where it has even chances with reason.
Woman feels where man thinks, acts
where he deliberates. hopes where he
despairs, and triumphs where he falls

WOMEN IN ADVERSITY.

Women should be more trusted and
conhded in as wifes, mothers, and
sisters. They have quick perception OF
right and wrong. and without always
knowing why, read the present and fu-
ture, read characters and acts. designs
and probabilities, where man sees no
letter or sign. What else do we mean by
the old adage mother wit" save the
woman has a quicker perception and a
reader invention than man? How often,
when man abandonS the helm in despair,
woman sezes it and carries the home
ship through the storm. Man often
flies from home and family to avoid i'm
penoing poverty or ruin.

rH1EFs SUICIDAL rHREAr

In the discussion of the remarkable robbery case which stirred up the town this week surprise was generally expressed that Hungerford did not improve his chance to ger away. Af- ter suspicion fell upon him last Sat- urday, Miss Sanford, his employer, talked with him in a way virtually amounting to-~n accusation and al- though that evening his anxiety and depression were manifest he made no movement towards flight. His motor cycle afforded him a convenient within his reach cash to the amount of nearly $700. Perhaps he could not bear the thought of leaving behind the $1.400 to his credit in a Danbury savings bank. but the more probable explanation is that his nerve failed decision. Following the first of his series of confessions on Sunday morn- ing to ex-Sheriff Banks he disappear ed for a time. not then being under any restraint. It was then, probably, that he made trip to the field known diamond ring underneath a stone. He reappeared of his own accord after short absence but subsequently, there was found in the house a note bearing his signature and bearing these words: God help me! there is AO way ouI VI lulS SACCpL SuIClue.
 Nevertheless he, made no attempt to kill himself and after the discov- cry of the note was given no oppor- tunity Of his known total stealings approximating $2.0OO it does not ap- pear that he spent more than $500 so that the remaining $1,700 which he so carefully laid aside will be recov- cred by Miss Sanford. Tn most cases of stealing by young man gambling or other vicious propensities consti- tute the motive. Hungerford was a victim of no such weakness. Beyond a desire to appear we'll and shine socially the moving spring of his criminality was an acquisative pas- sion. He had no bad habits-neither drank, used tobacco, gambled or con- sorted with evil associates of either sex. In fact he was looked upon as model youth, an "angel boy" as some have expressed it. After his ex- posture, however, it was recalled that he had a way of not meeting firmly another's eye. but this seemed rather a shy avoidance than a slfnky fur tiveness. His unbounded capacity for lying was shown in the sessions with Sheriff Banks who extracted from him piecemeal and by the hardest kind of work the admissions which collec- lively formed the complete story of his misdeeds. In this story he would not tell to what purpose he intended to apply the stolen money he had been hoarding. Perhaps he had no better defined purpose than that of many men who pile up great fortunes by processes which do not entangle them in the meshes of the law.

STREETS IN BAD SHAPE.

Complaints against the seeming in- difference and the inactivity of the present administration to relieve the deplorable condition of some of the streets of the city, are numerous. Fair field avenue is in such poor shape as to cal? for all sorts of criticism and Noble avenue is another street which Is in need of attention. The admin istration offers as its excuse for not paying attention to these thorough fares, the litigation over the ten- foot center question.
 Other streets that have. been perma- nently paved are in bad condition be- cause the water company and gas company persist in tearing them up. On Cannon street, the gas company recently ripped up the splendid pave ment of that street near the Sanford Building, and merely filled the hole in after finishing it's work. The paving was not relayed and there is at pres ent a ditch stretching across the vtreet. Another hole is now being dug up a little distance away.
