WOMAN'S QUEER
 ACTIONS CAUSE TROUBLE IN COURT
Sheriffs Dust We'll Dressed Female Who Uses Opera Glasses and Then Kneels in Prayer.

A handsomely dressed woman of middle age and apparently of great refinement, acted in such a strange manner in the county court house yes terday that she was put out of the building by Deputy Sheriffs Davis and Hayes
 The woman, who refused to give her Superior court room. She carried several pairs of gloves and attracted attention by repeatedly removing one pair and putting on another Then she took out pair of opera glasses and langHidly swept the court room with her glance. Apparently amused by the different types in the room, she laughed loudly. That was sthe. sig nal for several sheriffs to put her out.
 IL was supposed that she had left the building. but soon the woman was found stationed near 'Stenogra pher George s. Hawley's office She began to talk wildly about telephone receiv- MT. Hawley had her removed
 Giving the sheriffs disdainful glance the female mystery walked up- stairs to the civil Superior court room. She marched solenniy tos the bench before which she knelt. in an attitude of prayer. After paying a brief visit to the office of Standardization Clerk Flanagan, the woman invaded the court clerks office.
 There she was cornered by Sherins Davis and Hayes, who put her on the elevator. She insisted to Pete Diet rich the genial elevator operator, that she was not going out and nobody could put her out, but the sheriHs theIess. When last seen she was stalking down Golden Hill street to- ward Main, with her lead held high and jewels flashing on her gown.

CONTRACT BOARD
 CAN'T GET USE OF TOWN FARM TEAMS
MAKES SPECIAL CONTRACT FOR DELIVERY OF COAL CUTTING DOWN MUCH MOOTED
 SAVING.

A short time ago the Board of Con tract and Supply through Mayor Will son made a great hue and cry about .'big saving made in the purchase of coal. Today George L. Catlin, clerk of that board, said: we never claimed any great saving in the coal contracts; we only claimed to have hettered the price paid by the Board of Education by IS cents.'' It will be remembered Dy readers of the local newspapers that a detailed statement was given out to the newspapers at the time the Board of Contract and Supply closed it's coal contracts. Much was made of the fact that by having department haul the coal saving of something like 40 or 50 cents a. ton would be saved
 It develops now, however, that the teams belonging to the Charities de- partment cannot do the hauling, and it is necessary for the city to con the various departments it was pur- chased for by separate contract A boat load of hard coal recently ar rived and the matter of getting it de- that the town farm teams could not be used. After this was learned local teamsters asked to bid on the con tract of hauling the coal. James Doolan got the contract to haul the coal and the Board of Contract and Supply has got to pay him something like 6O cents a IOn TOT OeuVeFy- 14le coal was bought by the long ton and delivered by the net ton, so that the exact saving. if there is any, cannot be figured out. At least this is the statement of MT. Catlin. MT. Doolan was contracted with to haul about 300 tonss The cost for the coal will amount to something like $5,77 a ton a s .eonipafed with s5.95 paid per ton by the Board Of Education.
 The Board of Education believes, however that it will get a better qua1- ity of coal and will also have it de- Iivered without any delays and at such time as the different schools that are to use it will need it.
 The Board of Contract and Supply has bought about 1,500 tons of hard coal, mostly egg, and about 500 tons of soft coal

 Arrived From China.
 Among the recent importations to the city of Bridgeport has been a large shipment of Chinese sacred water Ill., ies to Bridgeport's leading florists, John Beck & Son. On account of the easy method of bringing these water lilies into bloom, they have become very popular in this country. one of the best ways of growing them is to secure a shallow glass or porcelain dish two or three inches deep, in which the bulbs are placed very close ly together. They are surrounded by a few pebbles which hold the bulbs in place after the roots start to grow. The dish is then filled with water and placed in a sunny window. It will be noticed that the bulbs absorb a quantity of water, and it will be found fresh water every day In very short time the bulbs will start to sprou1t. and in the course of six to eight weeks, according to the location which they will bear most beautiful clusters of white fragrant ofwers. It is very interesting to watch the rapid. ity of the growth of these bulbs, and anyone having a sunny window sill should certainly not be without them. J ohm Beck & Son elsewhere in this pa per.

4 NEW DEPARTURE.

James sVanDyk Tea Company, cor ner of Main and Elm streets, will open 9 new butter department to be. run in connection with their large and flourishing tea and coffee trade on Saturday next. The store has been remodened to meet the new require- nnents. A cold storage plant has been installed. and all the accessories of a first class butter store has been added. But this is not the m ost interesting thing in connection with this new de-. partrnent, although it is important. The news which will appeal to the housewife most is the fact that it will be possible to buy the famous Spring Valley Creamery Butter in Bridge@ port You know what this brand is everybody knows it. It comes from the historic Spring Valley, the richest butter producing region in the world. The dairy is not only the largest in the middle states, but the cows are carefully examined every day or two by graduate veterinary and every ounce of the butter is scientificalfy- produced under the most sanitary conditions.
 Another interesting feature of this announcement is the price at which Spring Valley butter will be sold and the fact that no butter boxes will be weighed which is a guarantee of full weight. This will be announced in Fridays papers. Don't fail to read the advertisement.

Why Stars Twinkle.

Who can tell why IL Is that the stars
sometimes seem "a twink aud win.

that their light pierces through many
different heated and moving currents
OF air, which makes the light reach
our eyes In n crooked or twinkllng line
instead OF straight and steady one.
