Mather and used the past year for
school purposes remodeled and put in

After the dwelling was bought IT

is an ideal spot for a convent, being
near both school and church, and it
is in one of the pleasant sections
of tho West Side.

ScANTY BATHING COSTUMES
AT OCEAN BEACH
The Present Dress Offends the Sensi-
bilities of Ex-Governor Waller.

Bathing apparel in vogue at Ocean
tiness that is a shock to the sensibili-
ties of Ex-Governor Thomas NJ. Waller,
says the New London Day.
Far be it from me to be included
among the over-prudish. for I do not
believe I come within that category"
said he on Monday, ''but conditions
which prevail at Ocean Beach at the
present time in the matter of the garb
of some of the bathers is sufficient to
bring the blush of shame to the most
bIase cheek.
When I say that on several oc-
casions recently I have felt compelled
to walk away from the bathing beaGh
to hide my modification at the abso-
lutte indecency of some of the so-called
bathing suits worn there, think you
will appreciate that there is some
thing to which the attention of the
authorities might well be directed.
There is a regulation against the
wearing of one-piece suits. Largo
signs to this effect are placed upon
the beach, but they have no apparent
weight in stopping the practice There
are plenty of one piece suits in evil
dence and they are mighty small pieces
at that. Nor is the wearing of them
confned-to the male persuasion. Both
sexes appear IN costumes leaving little
to the imagination.
81 consider this infraction of beach
regulations and of proper modesty as
well a matter which should be at
tended to at once. both for the good
name of the beach and out of respect
to the feelings of refined people who
go there
Governor Waller was a member of
the park commission when the one
piece bathing suit regulation was put
into effect. For a time it was rightly
observed, but more recently consider
able laxity in its enforcement has been
reported.

lis. It said-taat wildleathe other mem
bers- of the little band OF Americans
are convaiescent they are without
money or proper clothing.
Mrs. Usher was born in October,
1873, in Cappadocfa, in Asia minor,
where her parents. Rev. and Mrs.
John o. Barrows were engaged for
years in the mission fields. They re-
turned to America thirty years ago,
and she obtained her education in this
country and her preparation for mis-
sionary work herself. She attended
the Northfieldf Seminary at Mortified,
Mass, and was a graduate of the Wo-
mans college of Baltimore, now eau
cher college. She went out to Van
in October 1899, and in the following
June she was married to DIR. Clarence
D. USHER, medical missionary.
Dr.. USHER is native of Illinois and
q graduate of the Episcopal Theo-
logical school of Philadelphia and the
University Medical college of Kansas
City. He has been stationed at Van
since 1898.
Both have been in Norwich several
times on leaves of absence. have often
spoken here, and they and their great
work for the Turkish Armenian are
widely. known throughout America.
Since their marriage, DR.. and Mrs
USHER have had five children, but
one child, a daughter, died. Their
oldest son. Neville USHER. arrived in
this country from Turkish Armenia
onlyt a month ago and is with Rev.
and Mrs. Dwight c. Stone at Ston-
ington. Mrs. Stone is her sister. The
other three children were safe in Van
when last heard from. but now of
course, their whereabouts and condi-
ton will be unknown until fuller news
comes.
Besides her parents and her sister,
in Stonington, Mrs. USHER leaves an
other sister, Mrs. Dwight w. Avery
OF 237 West Town street, with whom
Rev. and Mrs. Barrows, make their
home and one brother, Frederick Bar
rows of Hyde Park, Mass.

FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE
COST STATE NEARLY $4,000
Efforts to Stamp Out the Epedinie in
Connecticut Cost Money.

Cattle Commissioner jeffrey o.
Phelps, Jr- has not yet paid all the
bills of expense incurred by the
state in the stamping out of the
foot and mouth disease, but IS in a
position to state approximately
what the amount will be- He has
paid bills amounting to s37,oo8. IS
and he expects to receive other bills
which will add a few hundred dol
lars or perhaps, $1,000 or so to
this amount. The items of the ex-
penses paid up to date are as fol-
lows:
Paid for cattle slaughtered s24,-
1895.
For the services of veterinary sur
geons, s7,2a5.36.

declared this state free from the dis
ease. They have relaxed the rules in
regard to the cleansing of railroad
cars used in the shipment of cattle
into onnecticut. Commissioner Phelts
intends to continue his order in regard
to the disinfecting Of cars in force,
Notwithstanding the suspension of the
rule of the federal authorities. He
will allow no animals to be shipped
into this state unless he is furnished
with a certificate, sworn to by proper
authority in the state from which the
animals are to be shipped, that the
cars were disinfected before they
were placed in them The commits
sioner is of the opinion that this
precaution is absolutely necessary
for the protection of the state from
cOuta pion The exnerienca which
he and his associates in the depart
ment have had with cattle during
the prefalence of the foot and mouth
disease has convinced him that serious
risk would be run in disregarding the
sanitary condition of the cars used in
shipment. The disease has been trac-
ed directly to unclean cars.
Commissioner Phelps has just re-
ceived a renewal of his membership
card in the Connecticut Humane So
Ciety: His connection with this
society gives him more authority to
interfere to protect animals and
birds from unnecessary pain than is
conferred on him by virtue of his
position as cattle commissioner. 1t
is only when the animal is diseased
that he can exercise authority as
commissioner, but his position with
tas humane society enables him tt
interfere whenever he sees instances
of cruelty or neglect. Quite re-

 Resembles Teddy.
 In some ways the king resembles Theodore Roosevelt. He was a sickly child like the colonel. and brought himself to hardy manhood by Spar tan methods. He is man of almost universal knowledge, interested in everything, much like the Oyster Bay leader. He possesses great energy.
 Unlike Roosevelt, he is conservative in speech and action. He shows great firmness but without spectacular methods. But when bad railway wreck or an earthquake occurs in Italy he jumps to the scene in trua Rooseveltian fashion.
 What will the king do in the war! His part, like the kaiser's, undoubted- ly will consist in going from one part of the battle line to the other en- couraging his troops. But Victor En- manuel possesses too good sense to interfere with his general staffs in the actual planning of the campaigns.
 The king and queen lead very simple and informal life for the most part There is scarcely more cere- mony than in the white house. The
