CIRCUS PROPERTY
 GOES TO BROTHERS
Albert c. Ringing Possessed One. Fifth of Share in the BaTnum
 & Bailey Outfit.

Bridgeport, Aug. 9.-According to an inventory of the estate of Albert c. Ringing, part owner of the Barnum & Bailey shows and a mem- Der of the famous Ringing Brothers, circus men of world wide reputation, he left property valued at $80O,C00. MT. Ringing was 8 resident of Bara- boo, Wis, but a law passed by the last legislature compelled the filing of a copy of his will and the inventory of the estate, owing to the fact that part of his property was within this state, consisting of the holdings of Barnum & Bailey located on Norman street, this city.
 Although the circus man was re- puted a millionaire, his interest in the Barnum circus was only s27,593, or one fifth the value of the outfit. By the will all this is left to the remain ing brothers. The inventory, the first of the kind filed in this state, shows how the circus is valued and is as follows:
 IWenty-two elephants, s7OO each; fifteen camels, $2OO each; four ze- bras S20O each; two polar bears, S25O each; two mountain bears, $50 each; two tigers, $500 each; one yearling cub, $50; three giraffes, s3,- GOO each; two walks, s150 each; seven deer, $5 each; six zebu, s25 each; three leopards, s125 each; four hy- enas, $100 each; one harte beest, s350; one tapir, s2OO; nine monkeys, s7 each; one hippopotamus S2,O00; one goat, $50; one rhinoceros, S2,000; addix antelope, $50; one water book, s1oo; one gnu, s250; Sambur deer, $50.

MISS ADELE MURRAY RESIGNS AS TEACHER
Accepts Lucrative Offer from New

 of Back Tax Question Tonight-Lo- '. cal Mans Nephew Killed.

At the August meeting of the schoolboard, which will be held this evening, Secretary Arthur Woodruff will present the resignation of Miss dele D. Murray as a member of the Kensington Grammar school faculty The news of Miss Murray's resigna- ton was surprise to Superintendent J. H. Dow and the members of the board. Miss Murray has done very efficient work during the past three years and her leaving is greatly re- gretted. She has accepted a position in New Britain and will teach English and literature at the Smalley school in that city.
 Miss Murray, in all has served the . town seven years. She taught at the Ledge school upon being graduated from the Normal school in 1898 until 1902. From 1902 until 1907 she taught at the Roger Sherman school in New Haven, which is the model school of the State Normal school in that city. Tn the fall of 1907 she en- tered the employ of the Winsted school board and remained there un- til 1909 The following year was spent , in the Springfield schools The next three years Miss Murray travelled both in this country and in Europe. In 1913, for the second time, she be- came a member of the local faculty, having charge of the sixth grade room at the Kensington Grammar school.
 Miss Murray was always a dlsclp- linarian, and many visiting school superintendents offe red her better in ducements to leave because of this fact, offering her a ID ore lucrative sal ary. But, as she was native Of this town and did not care to be far away from home, all were refused until Su- perint endent Stanley H. Holmes Of New Britain induced her to accept a position for the coming year.
 Two years ago Miss Murray organ H-ized the Kensington Grammar School Improvement society and the present eauty of the grounds is due in g. large measure to her efforts as d1- rector of the society. All the children of the school entered into the idea with enthusiasm and many entertain ments were given to raise funds for Improvements. Several trees were planted and playground apparatus was purchased, which tended greatly to relieve the monotony of the three I2'G''

ford police hold to the opinion that Mrs. Grace l.. Diggle's auto ran down and injured a bicyclist in that city Sunday night and they have notified the owner to appear in court to ans Wer to the charge of reckless driving
 Mr. Diggle was greatly surprisel late in the evening when he received a telephone message advising him that he had been driving his machine recklessly during the day and had injured one of Stamford's citizens. The police would not accept the eXpla- nation that the Diggle car was in the garage Sunday and that the owner had not strayed from Plainville and they suggested that he tell his story to the judge
 According to the reports from Stamford, Frederick Burt was riding a bicycle along the highway when an auto speeding from behind him ran into his machine, throwing him into the ditch. The car continued on it's journey without stopping to ascertain the damage caused. Witnesses claimed to have secured the mum Der, however, and the figures which they gave to the police correspond with those under which the Diggle auto is registered Hence the notification sent to Plain vile.
 MT. Diggle claims that he was pres ent at the baseball game at Aliens field in the afternoon and he spent the evening at home. It is thought that the witnesses of the accident erred in getting the number of the automobile, the confusion resulting. Nevertheless it appears that MT. Dig gle will be put to the trouble and expense of going to Stamford, ac- companied by witnesses, to prove that he was not responsible for the smash

CALLS COMMITTEE
TO CONSIDER BOARD
FOR SOCIAL CENTER

For considering further the kind of
organization needed to conduct the
social uplift movement among children
OF Richmond, Mrs. Fred Lemon. chair
man of the association, has called a
committee meeting. Professor F. G.
Pickell. Superintendent Giles, Miss
Sarah Hill, Mrs. Clara B. Graves, and
N. G. Heironimus will meet with moth
ers in Principal Pickelrs office at the
high school building at $3.50 o'clock
Friday afternoon.
Mrs. Lemon has been engaged for
the last few days in an effort to ap-
point a governing board to direct the
social center activities at Garfield and
high school, The undertaking has de-
velOped into such stupenduous one
which requires the intelligent co-opera-
ton of mothers that Mrs. Lemon found
it difficult to select the board.
This committee session is only one
of several that will be held to deter
mine whether governing board is the
best agent for conducting the work
and for gauging the amount of support
which the movement can expect from
the mothers of the city.

"WoMAN AT BEST"
WHEN SHE THINKS
OF OTHERS NEEDS

To a large assembly Of women yes
terday at st. Pauls Episcopal church.
DR.. Mallett preached on the subject,
Woman at Her Best" When is
woman at her best? When she is
occupied in ding for others, when
she is forgetful OF self and thinks
only OF the needs of others. Every
office is dignified when graced by the
touch of a woman who is prompted by
a deep religious spirit. Woman is by
nature religious. An irreligious wom-
an is monstrosity."-
The missioner urged mothers to
study their children at each successive
stage of their growth.
1.-The boy OF eight or nine is not the
same boy he was at four or five"
To illustrate this he told the story
Of good devoted mother who always
said to her boy the last thing, Good
night, my precious lamb" One night
when the boy was about nine years
old, after his mother had used the
same formula, the little fellow said,
Mother, don't call me lamb call me
billy goat"
Thus is It that the child is ever
changing. making 1t impossible to lay
down an iron rule to go by. Woman Is
at her best when she can get SO close
to the sufferings of others that she
feels them as il they were her own suf-
ferings.
Although weather conditions great.
~ interfered with the attendance at
night, 4 large and a most appreciative
congregation was present. The miss
toner's subject was, THE. Literary and
Devotional Value of the Bible" After
showing forth its value as a literary
study, he laid stress on it's use de-
yotionally. 1.-The Bible, not one book
but library of books, containing his.
tory. poetry, from which all the great
poets have drawn their inspiration"
The preacher urged that the direct
ions given in the Collect for the second
Sunday in Advent be followed literal
ly. That Is, that we should literally
mark, and read and learn. Otherwise
we lose the force of the mission of the
Bible to mankind, I. e. Gods word to
the world.
