NTANY Students Of history assert that
N1 the destiny OF all of Mexico is to be
annexed eventually to the United
StatesA-in fact, history shows that this pro.
cess OF annexation has been going on FOR the
CAST seventy years.
Up to 184s Mexico was the third largest
nation In the world-only Russia and China
were larger. At that time the area Of the
United States was less than Mexico.
But in 1S45 the historical destiny of Mex.
leo began to work Itself out. In that year
the great State OF Texas. which had revolted
from Mexico. was added to the United
States. Three years later the enormous
territory which Is now California, Utah
Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico was pur.
chased from Mexico. and became part of
the United States. Five years later in 1853,
still another Slice Of Mexico was annexed,
carrying the Boundaries Of Arizona and New
Mexico still further south.
Will this process go on? VIII new
States be slowly added at intervals, as in
the past, or Will situation arise sooner or
later when the entire territory of Mexico
VIII be annexed by one stroke of the pen?

JAIL TO TEMPER
 JITNEY DRIVERS
 DESIRE TO SPEED
His Alibi is Over Ruled By Judge Bartlett in City
 Court.

Although four witnesses all caught the number of the automobile which it is alleged he owns and drove at a reckless rate of speed, past a trolley car from which passengers were alighting in State street, last Thurs day morning at about 8:35, Lester
 Hartshorn, a jitneur, swore he was not near the scene, when he testified in thee ity court yesterday One trolley passenger escaped injury by
 Jumping to the sidewalk. 7 Hartshorn maintained they had mis- taken the number for another for the
 numerals on his plate and asserted he
 was not in State street the morning Of the occurrence in question. To sub stantiate his story, he called as wit ness the landlady at his home, 93 Or
 chard street. She stated that Harts-
 horn, who has been arrested before
 for reckless driving, was eating break
 fast in her home at the time of tue
 Judge Frederic Bartlett, however,
 was convinced that all four of the witnesses had not erred in taking the number of the offending machine, and
 he found the defendant guilty and sentenced him to 10 days in jail. The court in passing sentence remarked that he thought pedestrians had a right to be protected, when they walk
 in Bridgeport's streets. Hartshorn
 appealed.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO,

The late war which was to have stopped for century the growth of American prosperity has truly pro- arced d very different effect. Before ihe war improvement was sluggish in its progress seemed ne- cessary to give a spur to the national untaught by experience, drew forth the national vigor by an endeavor to crush itB while it secured to slumber. How is it atgpresent?
 The Lilliputian navy has been crushed into a formidable fleet.
 ilitary discipline and knowledge has succeeded to ignorance of this art.
 Arsensals, formerly empty are now filled with arms and ammunition.
 Forts. falling to decay and ruin, have been repaired and new fortlf1ca- tions built.
 A formidable floating battery, pro- pelled. by steam, has been added to the means of defence.
 Some of the, largest ships, in the world have been built onTthe lakes.
 Internal manufactures have ad- vanced with astonishing and unpar- alleled rapidity. e
 Wherever the America flag waves It is respected; wherever the Amer1- can citizen appears, he is caressed. This was not the case before .he war. Foreign nations only appreciate American worth. The citizens are more united and the project of dis --1emberment no longer exists.

WAS oDORLEss FUEL GAS

WAS ODORLESS FUEL GAS. v
 The three small children of MT. and Mrs. Clinton S. Wakelee, had a narrow escape from asphyxiation last night The Wakelees live at 82 Gil- bert street. In the rear of their apartment is a gas heater and cook ing apparatus. One of the cocks on the heater was partly open and the escaping gas filled the room. Mrs. Wakelee was preparing the children for their bath when Charley, aged two, ran about the room in a peculiar manner, then he lay on the floor and became quiet, He was apparently lifeless and the mother thoroughly frightened placed him on the bed. She had no sooner done this than Harold, aged seven, and May aged four, began staggering about and fell in a dead faint. The terrified mother ran for help. In few minutes the neighborhood was aroused by the startling news that the Wakelee chill dren were all dead and some one ran for/ Dr. Smith. Up to this time no one had detected the odor of gas, and this even escaped pr. Smiths atten- ton when he arrived. The general opinion was that the children were poisoned. It was sometime before the three children were out of dan- ger.

THE DELIVERY HORSE
THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

Many of our holidays are mere loafing days win no particular mean ing. Thanksgiving Day, which for those who, founded it, was definite and earnest recognition of, the bless. ings of Almighty God, is for most people merely a time for overeating. But much more of the spirit of Christmas. remains The world seems to forget for the moment as little of it's hardness.
 That is the outcome of the custom of giving. This habit is of course carried@to a preposterous extent. Much of it, is pure waste. But after all the habit of making gifts is val uable one. The man who gets used to parting with his cherished money to please someone else may find that the highest pleasure comes in making other people happy.
 Into this struggling, grasping, bloody world, the loving face of the historic Christ shines like one wholly alien to our selfish striving. His gos- pei has been preached these nineteen hundred years. and yet men are deaf to it. That does not detract from the force or the truth of it. It simply displays the irnperviousness Of mems HedIlS-- d1U ~CIlC LIllCkuGS5< or. tnelr heads.
 Many people are saying that the world has made no progress since the first Christmas, because great nations still ignore the call of Peace on earth, good will to men" But it should be remembered that war in those days was the permanent condi- tion, now it is the exceptional one. Let every one help create that world sentiment that shall show the wick edness of it all; and the folly of this treason to the, Christ spirit
 Into our peaceful homes on this side of the water, the Christ spirit should come without hindrance. May the holiday season be one when jeal- | ousies and riyalries and money get | ting and worldly ambitions shall be l set aside Let us have more of the child spirit of enjoyment of the sim pie things of life. Let there be the readiness to share one's good things with those in need

PENDLETON GIRL WAS COMMITTED
 TO SAN|TARIUM
Escaped Rutland Institution in Westport, Friends
 Learned Today.

Sensational incidents in the recent career of Miss Gertrude Pendleton, the beautiful 19 years old daughter of Samuel Pendleton, harnessmaker of Cannon street, now sought by ad- vertisement and detective forces in New York city, came to light today when it was learned that she had been committed to a sanitarium in Westport from which she recently made her escape.
 That she had not been living with her father and mother, at 1908 State street, as had heretofore been sup posed but that until shortly before her disappearance she had been com mitted to Dr. F. D. Ruland's institu- ton for two and one-half years with out being demented is the informa- tion which greatly shocked her many friends in this community today.
 Augustus s. May, treasurer of the New York, New Haven & Hartford R. R.. her uncle through marriage with a sister of Pendletbn, has every infiu- e.lce of the big railroad at work in an effort to locate her in New York, is a statement made by close friends of the missing girl and family today
 Dr. Rutland, in telephone convers- ation with a reporter for the Farmer, said today that the girl had come to his institution upon voluntary com mitment. Deprecating the use of the word escaped" or run away" he insisted that she had merely walked away from the institution last July or August and though search had since been made fo1. her no trace had yet been found. He said that she had been committed because of the tendency. to epilepsy.
 The only member of the family with whom Miss Pendleton has com municated in any way is a younger sister, Miss Eunice Pendleton, to whom the missing girl is said to have confessed her fears and reasons for going away, but failed to give her present address in New York beyond the bare fact that she had sought and obtained employment by which she was able to live.
 Friends of the missing girl assert that she not only is beautiful, but suggest that the work lshe\ mentions WlH ue nara UTlVdtlOn to one WnC has been reared as she has.
 The only hope that those engaged in seeking Miss PendletonA give the family for her recovery is that she may be subjected to an epileptic shock in which case she might be talk en to a New York hospital. All hos pitals have been furnished with her description and have been asked to notify her parents if she appears.

TO PROTECT STATES
 BIRDS DURING WINTER

Preparations have, already been made to save the pheasants, quail and song birds from st1ving to deathI dur. ing the winter in this state, according to an announcement made yesterday lat the offices of the fish and game commission at Nthe Capitol. Hereto fore these birds have had hard time of it during the winter, when the snow was deep. Deputy game war dens have been working with dili- gence in all parts of the state where these birds are seen. Locations for shelters have been picked out and several quail shelters have been built. with openings toward the south. The deputies pla,, to keep gravel and feed o1 the surface of the snow. It has been found that quail may be easily enticed into these shelters by feed leaders of grain. The main feed is buckwheat cracked corn, rye, oats and quantities of chaff. The shelters are made of old boards with quanti- ties of cedar brush on top. The size of the opening for the birds is about six feet high and eight feet wide, the roof running to the ground in the back. "-'-' @1~ v
 According to reports@from the dep- uties the birds in this state have suf- fered little distress up to the present time. Compared with Massachusetts Connecticut has had little snow. In the Bay State it has been found that the birds are in imminent danger o1 starving to death because of the deep snow. The Massachusetts fisheries and game commission has issued an appeal toS~ sportsmen's associations
 Boy Scouts, Audubon societies and bird lovers in general to scatter food for the birds.

NEW BRIT AIN MAN WEDS ClRL-BALkS.
 OFFICIALS
Immigration Officers Pre-
 vented from Deporting .s l Italian Miss.

Boston, Dec. 2O.--Maria di Sapis, who arrived here some time ago from Italy and was ordered deported, has put one over on the Federal officers and will remain in this country. The case is without a parellel in. the rec ords of the local Immigration Bureau.
 Maria came here from Naples to join relatives in New Britain, Conn, who~-lid not receive her with opSn arms and refused to become sponsors for her. The woman was ordered de- ported, but owing to the irregular sailinGs for Italy and the law which prevents the sending of deported inn migrants to the war zone, she was al lowed to go to New Britain to make her relatives there brief visit.
 Recently the New Britain relatives wrote to: Commissioner Skeffington that Maria was a burden upon them and, requested that sbe be sent back to- Italy. or at least taken to the Im- migration Station. The commissio on CT sent an inspector to New Britain to bring the woman back.
 On reaching New Britain the in- spector learned that Maria had nov ed:;y She was finally located and told the inspector that she was married When asked the name of her hus. band she said she did not remember for she never saw him until the day bef,5re s,
 Further investigation revealed the fact that Maria and Saverio Rice were married the previous day by the city. clerk of New Britain. Ricci was looked up and told the officer tha he wanted a wife, and that when i was suggested that he meet Maria hs was perfectly agreeable. He met tht woman Friday morning and they walked around for a while to get ac quainted and then got married.
 s.But don't you know the woman i. under .deportation orders ana you vii have to be separated?r ?r asked the in spector. Ricci reached into an insi 9t pocket and drew out his citizenship papers, which he showed to the in spector, also informing the officer tfAt since he was a citizen he had { perfect right to keep his wife in thi. country. 4 .-
 The inspector did not dispute him.

TUG BATTERED
 IN FIGHT WITH
 HOUSATONIC ICE
River May Be Closed te Navigation After Tomor-
 row Night.

Heavy ice in the Housatontc river so battered the tug John Glen and two light tows from Derby to Bridgeport that the tow had to put into Stratford for. repairs yesterday.
 Capt. Henry Schult eis reported that the trip was one of the worst he ever experienced on the river at this time of year, the ice forming so fast that it is unlikely navigation to up-river points will be accomplished after to- morrow night.
 In the ice-crushing process that had to be accomplished on the way down. starboard bow planking of the Glen was stove in. Temporary repairs have been made. It is reported that the two light barges in tow of the Glen have been severely "cut" by the thick ice.
 Officials of the Bridgeport Towing Go. declare that they will make one more attempt to release two loaded barges at Shelton, but it will require the efforts of two powerful tugs to break the ice for their outlet from the river.
