MIDDLETOWN POLICE
 WATCH FOR CR0NES
Suspected Alleged Soup Poisoner
 May Come to Connecticut

Middletown, Conn.,, Feb. 21--Act- ing upon the theory that Jean Crones, the Chicago poisoner, may attempt to
 give further demonstration of his
 boldness by paying a visit to his
 brother, Paul Crones. in this city,
 Chief of Police A. w. Inglis has de- tailed policemen in plain clothes to watch the local station of the New
 York, New Haven & Hartford rail- road, and the terminals of the elec- tric lines here. Paul Crones Is first chef at the Arrigoni hotel on Main street, this city, of which Franz Arri- goni is proprietor and Joseph Acer- boni manager.
 Paul Crones gave out extracts of 8 letter written to him by his mother from Cologne, Germany, begging him to find Jean and to ask him to com municate with her. Please do what you can to reach Jean," the mother wrote. Tell him his mother is anxious to hear from him and to know what he is doing. Ask him why he does not write. Please do what you can, Paul, because I am very anxious about him.
 "I am convinced my brother is not in his right mind; or, if he is, that he has been led astray by anarchists" Paul Crones told Manager Acerboni Although the chef has an excellent reputation in this city, a close watch on his movements has been establish ed by the police
 According to Manager Acerboni, Paul wanted to make his whereabouts known immediately after the news papers printed accounts of he poisoning in Chicago, but was dis suaded from doing so by MT. Acer- boni.
 According to the story told by Paul, he is a naturalized British subject, but left that country in November, 1914, because his German birth made it difficult for him to obtain employ ment.
 There are three sons in our fam ily,'' Paul Crones said. "Charles, the youngest, was formerly an assistant cook in steamship service, but was placed in a detention camp in Eng land by the British shortly after the of the war, where he IS now. Jean is the next in age and l am 27 years old.
 Theodore Beyer, proprietor of restaurant in Middletown, said that Paul was at one time employed as a cook in saloon owned by man named Koch on West Twenty third street, near Ninth avenue, Manhattan.

AVOID ST. VITUS' DANCE

Physicians are batt1ed by St. Vitus' dance because it is nervous disease in which they can find nothing actually wrong with the nervous system.
 Long before the child becomes awkward and begins dropping things there is a period in which the appetite is fckle and the patient is tired and listless. The jerking movements characteristic of the disease come much later.
 In the early stages good tonic for the blood and nerves will go far toward pre- venting the development of the disease. But the tonic must be free from alcohol and opiates for these make the nervous condition worse. When your child ap- pears listless, prefers to sit and read rather than go out and play and requires entirely too much time to get his or her lessons, give course of treatment with Dr. Williams Pink Pills. They cannot do harm, the system is sure to be bene- hted and you may avoid serious trouble.
 These pills build up the blood, nourish the starved nerves and improve the gen. eral health
 Your own druggist sells Dr. Williams Pink Pills or they will be sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2. 50, by the Dr. Will Hams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y. Write for free booklet on "Nervous Dis, orders.'

UNION IS PLANNING
 A SPRING CAMPAIGN
Local Leaders to Have Speakers for Cause Appear in This City
 Jennings First.

That the ardor of the local union men who figured in the strike in this city last fall has not been dampened by the outcome of their efforts on that occasion, was evidenced today when one of the local leaders an nounced that beginning March 2, a series of open meetings would be held in this city. It is the intention of the machinists union to secure some of the best leaders in the country and at the first meeting. Frank H. Jennings of Boston. international vice president, will talk.
 While the union men in the fac tories are reticent over plans for the spring, the latest move gives rise to the reports heard frequently, that a demand may be made on the manu- lecturers for recognition of the union and the adoption of the scale Of wages as in force in factories which conduct closed shops.

WEDDING RING FOUND, .1
 N ON KITTENS TAIL

Torrington, Aug. 4-There is a tale connected with a bob-tailed cat for which two little Torrington girls, twins. are largely responsible. Several months ago, their motherremoved her, rings, including valuable wedding ring set with a large diamond, and left them on the dresser. That af- ternoon the twins found a black kitten and were having lot of fun with it, dressing it up in their dollies' clothes.
 While they were trying to think of something new that could be done with strange cat. they strolled into their mothers room and saw the rings on the dresser. One of them pro- posed that they put the rings on the kittens foot for bracelets, but it was a double-pawed cat and the rings were too small. This was a severe dis appointment, but one of them sug- gested that they try putting the wed- ding ring on the cats tail. This worked to a charm, and the kitten looked "just too lovely. for anything" with great big diamond Sparkling in its black catfur setting.
 But the trouble began when the twins found that they had pushed the ring on so far that it would not come off, so, to prevent discovery they drop ped the kitten out of the window. Recently a black cat appeared at the come of the twins and was promptly captured. It proved to be the same old kitten, only larger grown. and be- heath the fur, deeply imbedded in the flesh of the cats tail, was the lost
 wedding ring.

ANNIVERSARIES 4.
 OF RING BATTLES

1S46-Bill Perry defeated Tass Parker in 23 rounds at 'Lindrick Com mon, England. This was the third
 bout between these two aspirants for the British heavyweight title, which Perry afterwards won. Perry, the "Tipton Slasher," first fought Tass Parker in December, 1843, and the battle was ended by police interfer- ence after they had battled 67 rounds, lasting 1 hour and 35 minutes. The following February Parker and the Slasher resumed hostilities, and after 133 rounds, lasting hours and 32 minutes, had been fought, Tass de- laid down. The third fight was the best of all. although much briefer than
 the earlier engagements. Tass fought with great gameness, but in the sev- enth round two of his ribs were
 broken in fall. Although Parker was often accused of being yellow by the fight fans of that day, he con- tinued to fight valiantly for 16 rounds after he had sustained the fracture of the ribs. In the good old days'' a bruiser who stopped because of a little thing like few busted ribs was con- sidered decidedly lacking in gameness. Perry became champion of England in 1852, when he defeated Tom Pad dock, who quit just because his shoul- der was broken, and was for a time in disgrace because of his lack of pluck
