Several Battles of Winchester.
 (Pittsburg Dispatch.)

Sev eral battles of the Civil War have been given the name of the Battle of Winchester" the first being that fought March 23, 1862. when General Shields defeated the Confed- crate Jackson at kernstown, four miles south Of Winchester. The next battle of Winchester was when the Confederate Early drove Federal force commanded by General Torbert from Winchester, August 17, 1864. Again on September 19, 1864, battle of Winchester was waged, far more important than the others, with Gen. eral Sheridan in command when the Fcderals, with q force of 3S,000, gave q drastic drubbing to General Early with 15,000, the brunt of the fighting being Cn Apequan Creek. short dis tance from Winchester. Only a few days later Sheridan scored another victory over Early, who had made a stand at Fishers Hill. The most fa- nous of the battles of Winchester which had their inception March %, 1862, at kernstown, was that of Cedar Creek, October 19, 1864, and which gave the Pennsylvania poet. Thomas Buchanan Read, the theme for his famous poem, "Sheridans Ride"
 Cedar Creek is stream cmptying into the Shenandoah river some twen- ty miles from Winchester. There Early had assembled larger force than he had before commanded, about 19.0OO men, while the Federal force numbered 31,00O. Early learned that Sheridan had gone to Washington and was thus led to think it a good time for attack, forcing a retreat in much disorder of the Federals, they having been completely surprised. A rout Was averted by rally or cavalry and part of the Sixth corps under General Wright. Sheridan had reached Winchester when he had word of the emi-disaster. and at once began his famous ride from Winchester twenty miles away" A large number of the Confederates had left their ranks to plunder the camp of the Federals. Sheridan came on the scene like whirlwind, rallied his tr' ops and routed tho enemy com pleteiy, pursuing them us far as Fish CTS H1ll' his victory being counted the

Noone to the Rescue.

It is an old and we'll established tenet of philosophy that the occasion always produces its man. It has been demonstrated over and over again and New England has a new demonstra- tion of it right now. The troubled hearts which are worrying about rail- road stocks and leased lines may cease to worry; the seething brains which are wrestling with the problem of rchabilitating the Boston and Maine system may cease to seethe. The oc- casion has produced its man. Tho dark shadow of bankruptcy which has cast great sobs of gloom over the Bos- ton and Maine has silver lining, and the silver is at the disposal of the road and it's owners, the only condition be- ing the transfer of the road, hide, hoofs and horns, to the possessor of the silver. To prospective receivers, the dictum is hands off" A- ..

Phone Girl Saves Three.
(New York Herald)

Miss M. NJ. Gildea, chief operator in the Flatbush telephone exchange, heard the faint but frantic voice of a woman come over the wire yesterday afternoon:
 "Come quickly, Dr. Reyes. Mother is dying! The house is full of gas! Come! Come!'
 Working quickly. Miss Gildea found that the woman in distress was Mrs. Asad khoure, wife of musician, and that she was calling from her home, at 503 East Twenty sixth street. Brooklyn. She also discovered that the physician was pr. Edward A.. Reyes, of 219 Rutland road, and that he had not been at the telephone when the woman sent her evciting message.
 Miss Gildea relayed the message to Dr. Reyes and then called Brooklyn police headquarters. Drs. Sage, Sted- man and Figley were hurried to tho house in an ambulance with pulmo- tor from Kings County hospital reach ing there in time to aid Dr. Reyes in breaking down the door. Inside they found Mrs. khoure unconscious on .he floor, where she had fallen from the telephone. In another room was her mother, Mrs. Augusta Horle, also ur- conscious.
 As soon as all the windows had been opened to release the gas three of the physicians began work upon the two women, while another sought the gas leak. Going into the cellar, he found MT. Khoure unconscious on the floor, where he had been trying to repair a leak in an automatic gas heater attached to a water pipe.
 MT. Khoure, who was in the most serious condition. was sent to the hos pital, while the physicians worked two hours on the two women before TO- yiving them

Dying Man Runs Auto.
New York Times.l

A man in whose pockets cards wore found bearing the name Of Charles Leon Tenny of Flanders, L. l.. drove an automobile across the oueensboro bridge last night while he was un- conscious srom a stroke of apoplexy.
 If the roadway had 5cou open Tenny probably would h2vo driven the car into Fifty-ninth street, as Eis hands were clenched tightly to the steering wheel ana the machine thus was prevented from veering to right or left. He died q few minutes after policemen lifted him from the seat.
 A horse-drawn truck brought the car with it's unconscious driver to a stop near the Manhattan end of the bridge. The driver Of the truck be- came angry when he saw the auto mobile approach from the rear and when, without glowing cown or at tempting to go around either side. ruE squarcly iEto tho truck. the truck man started to express his opirion to tie driver of .l:c automobile. but he noticed that the mans head hung 0own and that he seemed strangely unconcerned about the collision. He called Motor Cycle Policeman Cough, who found that the man was uncoa- scious and apparently dying.

Recurring Fashions.
Philadelphia Ledger. )

The cycle of clothes completes itself with regularity almost as unvarying as that of the seasons: but it takes years instead of months for the old fashions to recur. When Nature made a rose she looked upon it and pro- nounced 1t good. She reproduces it year after year in unvarying fashion, but man is not content with the cut of his coat for two seasons in success sion. This is why it takes so long for the old fashions to reappear They have to be forgotten by the mass be- fore they can come back, even in a form at all suggestive of their first estate.
 Let us take the cutaway coat as a type. Twenty-Five or thirty years ago every young man owned one. It was usually made of diagonal worsted and the edges were bound with braid. The length of the tails and the number of buttons varied from season to sea son. but the general style of the coat was unchanged for several years. Then it disappeared, though hot-house specimens were occasionally seen. And the fashion of binding mems coats with braid went with 1t. But year or two ago the cutaway coat came back. The early examples were rare as the first flowers of spring that show themselves when the sun begins to warm the sheltered places. But this year we are told that every man who wishes to be we'll dressed must have one, and they are all braid-bound, after the manner of their predeces- sors of the last century. Tn cycle has completed itself. Next season we may expect the skim tight trousers to ap- pear, for they completed the costume of the man of fashion in that far off time when the newly recurring styles last prevailed, and when the dandy, once known as flop and earlier called a beau, was characterized as dude

Tho Maid of All Work.
(New York Sum-

It does not need the testimony of the Public Employment bureau to convince the country that the supply of that priceless "anoillary adjunct" the maid of all work, general house worker, bonne tout faire, or what ever name her angelic cooperation may have borne, is a thing of the past. She is no longer to be found. What remains of her in the waiting room of the so-called intel ligence offices is but a poor substi- ute for her former efficiency. Aged and conscienceless routineers and ebony, youthful aspirants from the southern states fresh from the fields and newly arrived Scandinavians without a word of English on their consciences are the only substitutes for this skilful and satisfactory work CT of former years.
 And she has gone from the face of the domestic world just at the time she was needed. The tendency of the builders of apartment houses has for some time been to make the rooms for domestic use smaller than ever. So it has ever grown more difficult to crowd into them the two aSSlSIdnIS now necessary To do the work formerly so quietly and skill fully accomplished by one. Thus the disappearance of the general house. worker is rot the only loss to those housekeepers of limited means
 Various conditions have brought about the extinction O. the vslund maid of All work just when her se:- vices were most in demand. 1t is possible to earn quite as much with out so much effort. Then theIe is always the complaint that the lot of the solitary servant is made more difficult on account of loneliress when but one is employed.
 There has been no greater los: ttun the loss of her to those of limited means who wish to live here anG have tho sense of being in their own homes. Sociological investigators, ' always alert to find some :>:eans cf relieving the lot of their fellow men, could do nothing more practical than try to train up a new generation of the maid of all work She would cer- tainly find constant demand for her services, and it is certain that they would be paid for at a generous fig ure,. so great has been the regret at her departure.

CITY FIRE DEPARTMENT.

The chamber of commerce has dis- partment and while no action has been taken it's conclusions are some what along the line of those of Chief Dame. The conditions in Salem which have been referred to are not the same as obtain here, but the city is not de- pending for success in fighting fires by its past good fortunes but on what it considers a good department, it's reputation being based on its past services.
 It was not so many years ago that New Britain had no regular firemen and did not own any horses either. while now it has fairly we'll equipped department with regular men in ev- cry house. some good horses and some auto apparatus. 1t needs more and the board of finance and taxation rec commended that another auto truck be provided but the common council has cut it out and it seems as if this has raised more opposition than has al- ready appeared on the surface. The council, however, in eliminating that feature of the report does not say that the city does not need it but that it thinks at present the city cannot af- ford it, although it must keep horses and feed them, but then on the other hand it has been made pretty plain that horses are to be necessity re- gardless of how much auto apparatus the city may have because of it's in ability to travel in times of snow storms. #I.. ..s%#
 Another, matter that seems to be forgotten in making comparisons is that the factories in New Britain are equipped with fire companies and there have been some factory fra, when the blaze was fought with this force alone. no alarm being sounded for the city department This is val uable service and should never be overlooked when New Britain is being compared with other cities. 1t should not be forgotten that the city is mak- ing some progress all the time, if not in one department then in another and that the finances will not permit of progress in all at once. ...-.. ..

AccumuIations of a Carpet.
(Brooklyn standard-Union.)

If that respectable portion Of our, population that lives in boarding houses notices any unusual activity these days, it may be ascribed to the news that Harlem boarding-hou keeper, just going out of business, found under the carpet of one Of her rooms three bank books, showing de- posits of over s5,00O, which mad be- longed to a boarder who died in May, l9o3. He had died in a hospital not in his room. But evidently he Dad confidence he would return to the boarding house in due season. since he had not revealed to the land lady or anybody else the hiding place Of his treasure
 Nobody should rashly assume that the bank books never would have been discovered if the boarding -f1ouse Keeper had not decided to go out of business. A carpet, even in a board ing-house, might conceivably wear out entirely in the course of genera tons. Not that there is scientific evil dence that this ever happened; but solil 1t is possible to assent to the proposition that it could occur. And II It dld occur, the remnants, or de- OTIS, or whatever 1t might be called, would naturally be removed-say, when the next bundle day is pro- claimed.
 In that case, any bank books or other treasure deposited under the carpet by successive feeting genera t1ons of boarders, back through the ages, would inevitably be revealed. But it must be conceded there is no record of this event to be found in the authorities. It is only a sup position.
 All we have to go on in forming that might be called the hypothesis of boarding-house carpets is that one boarding house carpet happened to be taken up less than twelve years after a boarder had made it what he considered a sure and permanent safe deposit vault. When it was taken up, of course, everything which had ac- cumulated under it was disclosed. If bank books, why not jewels of price less value, currency, pieces of eight and such negotiable treasure, as we'll as papers proving the former occu- pant to be an Anneke Jans heir or justly entitled to millions of pounds sterling ''in chancery"? Anyway, it is quite possible there will be for q while now general disposition to take up boarding-house carpets often- CT than once in twelve years.

He Forgot to Kiss Her.
(New Orleans States )

He really meant to kiss his wife this morning as he left the house to go to work.
 But he forgot. He was thinking of the cares of the shop, of the thousand and one matters which concern him in the big world with which he wrestles for a living for her and the kids.
 Anyhow. he said to himself after ward, what's d kiss? It ought n't to take such d mere formality to con- vince of his love and trust the woman he has made the mistress of his home the mother of his children. Pshaw. The chances are she never noticed the omission--so why should he worry?
 But back home a woman wept Wept, not because she doubted her husbands constancy, not because she felt that he would not prove big and true and fine in an emergency, but because, womanlike, shut within homes four walls. doomed to another day of petty routine, much of it to be endured all alone, she wanted that kiss as token and Il memory-want- ed it as proof that not in her case could the poet write:
 Hes lost, you see, cause he mar
 ried me:
 Goodby, my lover, goodby."
 Now if you, MT. Man, made such a break as that this morning do you know what you ought to do?
 Go home tonight with a nresent in each hand and plant two kisses ybere one grew before.

 Another rabbit killing case, which in some respects rivals the far: ous Oscar Phillips arrest in North Plain field, was up before Justice Peter D.

 Today's prisoner was Jasper Svarku 24 years of age, a former farm hand who has been out of work for some time. Late yesterday afternoon Svarka saw a rabbit near Short Hills and he hurled a stone at it. His aim was good and he killed the rab- bit. He picked it up and was carry ing it under his arm when Special Game Warden Charles Meyers espied him. Svarka admitted that he had killed the rabbit and he also ad- mitted knowing that this is the "closed season."
 Today the game warden arraigned Svarka before Justice Lane at Far Hills, who. when the circumstances were explained to him, imposed fine og $22.55. SvGrka said he did not

 which is now on and which presages disruption before the matter can be finally settled. In town of that size it does not take much of po- litical row to start something else and the step from that to open rebellion is not very long. A committee has been appointed to sort of oversee mat ters, and while it cannot have any
 power over officials it will, neverthe- less, act as sort of safety valve and prevent any more causes for secret or semi-secret meetings.
 It would be, a good way out of the dilemma for the town to be annexed to New Britain and then the affairs would be handled by a more pro gressive form of government in which there would be less liability to mis- takes such as have been complained of and there would be no occasion for the continuance of the commit tee. There is mo immediate pros pect of that and so the next best thing to be done is to wish the old town the best of success in the scheme it has adopted for the management of it's own affairs. ;.'
