Leary for the payment of filing fees disclosed. Dr Charles H. Audet was second and Dr Richard J. Hinchey was third. Dr Bonner recorded 291 births, Dr Audet's total was 216 and Dr Hinchey was third with 135.
 On deaths Dr Edward H. kirsch- baum led with total of 191 deaths this large total, of course, being due to the fact that he is the city medical examiner and had the greatest number of fatal cases to come into contact with in connec- tion with his official duties. The record also shows that the local midwives continued to do consid- erable business in maternity work during 1881.

In past years, in order to meet tho demands for representation from various parts of the state, each delegates vote has been spilt up into fractions. Each delegate goes with a fraction of vote. The whole vote of the Connecticut dele gation. added up by fractions at the national convention. brings the to- tai votes to which the state IS en- titled at the national conventoln..
 This system is expected to be followed out this year. just as m the past, and 1t is possible that the delegates will go each with about seven-eights of vote. The alter mates will be guided under similar rules.
 Chairman Crary stated to-day that the fact that every large city in the state with the exception or New Britian is democratic wlll' undoubtedly, increase demands for representation on the delegation from Connecticut to the nationai convention. Nevertheless, he pointed out, Waterbury will expect as much representation as in the mast and will fight for it if neces- sary. .
 However, it is understood that the state leaders are planning 10 placate this city as much as pos sible by not cutting Waterbury

 Phoenix, Ariz, Jan 23.-UP)- The state of Arizona was expected to reveal to-day the motive it claims prompted 26-year old Vim nie Ruth Judd to slay her one one-time friend. Agnes Anne Leroi.
 This development, should it be forthcoming, promised to furnish the highlight of the prosecution's attempt to prove the attractive nurse guilty of first degree murder.
 Since Mrs Judd first surrendered on charges she killed Mrs Leroi and Mrs Leroi's roommate, Hed- wig Samuelson, the missing part of the states case has been a motive.
 County Attorney Lloyd Andres answering the expected defense plea of insanity, told the jury that he would establish this motive.
 He told jurors the state would produce evidence to show that five weeks before the slayings there was i'll feeling between Mrs Judd and Mrs Leroi and Miss Samuelson.
 Andrews said the state expected to conclude this afternoon.
 The state planned to open to-day with a further account of what was disclosed when baggage traced to Mrs Judd was opened in Los An-

 '1low do you do. L.eIla!" Nrs Brown spoke pieasnniily to ths thirtesn-year-old sri in the leath- CT jacket sloshing along In the wet leaves on the pavement.
 Leila lifted her big black eyes and murmured something without O smile. Mrs Brown felt she hadn't been pleasant enough. She half stopped. "Terrible day, isn't it, dear?"
 "Yes," said Leila and went on.
 Mrs Brown. met Tim Sloan q few steps further on. Tim was fourteen. His fiery blue eyes lit up with pleasure as he swept off his cap to the lady. "H0w do, Mrs Brown. Swell weather!"
 Mrs Brown smiled. "I should say-not." she looked after Tim. A wonderful boyl Leila had stop ped. Her eyes were no longer dull to hostility. Her whole face was lighted up now. Hello, Tim, Where'd you come from?"
 ..Guess. Wrong again."
 Tim hadn't hurried. He seem ed to Mrs Brown to be very cas- uai iii his greeting of Leila. He was striding on, but the girl some how managed to keep up with him.
 Mrs Brown weM on and from under her umbrella she noticed an- other young couple coming along with books under their arms.
 still rather indignant over the snub Leila had given her, but soothed a bit by Tim's frank .friendliness, she braced herself for this new greeting.
 This pair consisted of other young neighbors, Marty Seddon. and Jack Hill.
 Mrs Brown was reserving her best smile for the boy. But as they passed, ,% 1t was Marty who called out, Hello, there,i Mrs Brown! IIow's your cold?" while Jack scarcely glanced at her and made an impatient move to go on.
 Mrs Brown was more hurt than ever because Jack had scarcely ever passed her house for years that he hadn't come in for q cookie. Just that morning she had come across the ptionograph rec ord, an expensive one, that he had purloined one day from it's place and used as a toboggan to slide down her cellar door.
 She had looked on Jack as her boy and here he was being aloof and rnfriendly just because he had 2 girl with him.
 That evening when Dr Brown was eating his belated dinner, she spoke of 1t.
 Honestly, William, don't know what to make Of the children a. round here. I know them all so welI--Leila, and Jack--every one of them but half the time they don't speak to me. Leila used to be so sweet and Jacks been like our own boy. What's wrong? I feel all rubbed the wrong. way to- night." "k Then Dr Brown answered, Don't worry, my dear. Young people E of that age often get grOlcf1y. sometimes even sullen and nasty, both boys and girls. All kinds of nix-Hps are going on in their minds. Some girls hate boys or get to like them better. The same with boys. Outsiders often don't count at all. Just let them alone like Bo Peeps sheep and they'll come home. Tn a couple of years they will all be as fine as silk again"

 'It it? hadn't counted.s He smiled amusedly. Just one more, Joan, and we'll go." He didn't go to the hospital with Joan. He had just come from there, and he had other patients to see, he explained. Joan was saown into Sally's room.
 She caught her breath at tho shining light in the invAlid's eyes. They were luminous. "Oh Joan, I'm so glad you came. And have some news. I'm going to marry Joe. Everything's come right at last. Isn't there a verse in the Bible that says the crooked shall be made straight? It's true. Joan. You know it, too."

 Joan murn1ured the usual re- marks. But she was seeing again the troubled look in Joe Raynor's eyes, hearing his voice as he had talked. He had tried so hard to convince her that he really want ed to marry Sally. But he had been so unconviricing. Sally, never guessing. talked on until the nurse came in.

 Outside Joan walked slowly. She didn't know Ruth Bradley. Ruth had married Dale Courtney and gone away on her honeymoon before her own life and those of Ruth's friends had started to grow together. However, she knew at glance that the slim girl, with the great dark eyes, whom she met in the hospital corridor. must be Sally's sister. Impulsively she spoke to her. r
