It Is one of the now frequent and always commendable efforts to provide children with what Is reully good literature and not a makeshift to take its place. (Glnn Co. Bel-knnp Warflrld, GO cents.) "The Second Froggy Book," by Anthony I. Diexel Riddle will undoubtedly please that public which wan pleased by the "First Froggy Book. More critical readers will feel that Elle follow the footsteps of "Alice" a little too conscientiously, and will learn with pain that verse doesn't scan well In fairyland as In the moduli of ordinary literature something Alice doen not teach, by the way and that there, "trpes" rhymes with "leave."

What was noticeable and gratifying about the procedure was the almost absence of pain attending It, a local tin.ttli-tlo only being employed.

What more remarkable is the marvclously prtmpt healing of the wound, is surgeons say, "by first intention." This not to advertise our faithful, but modest family physician, nor the well known skill of his expert counsel, for, though we think they de3-rve raise, and are grateful for appreciation, yet they need no advertisement.

Two Men Under Suspicion of Having Killed Eugene Kennedy. Stamford, Feb. 13. Eugem? Kennedy, aged 22, got into a quarrel with an Italian last night in a ealoon on Canal street kept by John and Charles Ka-vort. In the fight he was fatally stabbed In the groin.

Dr. A. M. Hurlburt was called and he summoned Prosecuting Attorney Carter, who took the man's ante mortem statement. Kennedy died at 2 o'clock.

A man named Antonio Gl-onguillo was placed under arrest. Kennedy's statement to the prosecuting attorney was that he was in the saloon talking with two men. The two men began quarreling, and he tried to separate them, when he was attacked by Gionguillo whom he identified and was stabbed. He then started to go out, first telling the barkeeper that he was stabbed and to keep an eye on the Italian. Michael Pedro, who was in the saloon at the time, ettid he saw Kennedy strike the Italian with a beer glass, but did not eee any stabbing.

He saw Kennedy leave the saloon and Gionguillo go up stairs. It is claimed by other witnesses that a man named English, a dissolute character, started the fight in which Kennedy participated, and he was locked up, but nothing could be learned from him. as he was In a semi-intoxicated condition. Gionguillo admits quarreling with Kennedy, but denies the stabbing. On his person was found a clasp knife with a six-inch blade, which was ground to razor sharpness." There were no blood stains on it, however, but the police say the man's clothes might have rubbed them off.

BOMB IN THOMASTON. It Probably Wa Dropped by a Tramp Lodger. Thomaston, Feb. 13. There was much surprise yesterday over the finding of a bomb In the lockup alleyway under the opera house.

It was a piece of metal four inches long with a cap at one end and containing a whitish metal. The only theory possible is that it was left there by a tramp or fell from his pocket Friday. In Thomaston tramps who are given a night's lodging are made to saw wood. Friday a lone tramp went through this process, and while he was at work his overcoat was left on a chair in the alleyway near the spot where the mysterious thing was found. It is probable that it dropped from the tramp's pocket.

Sophs Didn't Get Freshmen's Cannon. (Special to the Courant.) Middletown, Feb. 13. For the last three weeks each evening a party of young men has patrolled the corners of the streets and it was wondered what they were up to. It was finally found out that they were sophomores doing scout duty to see where the freshmen scecured the gun which they had been in the habit of firing on February 22.

The freshmen managed to elude them, however, and taking the gun from where It had been, totik it to pieces and brought it out of the city. It is thought now that It Is in New Britain. On February 22 they will bring it back and exactly at midnight thoy will fire a salute on the campus. A Probably Fatal Fall. (Special to the Courant.) Middletown, Feb.

13. A colored boy named Sumner while playing on the front veranda of what is known as the "Light House" at Center street about 4 o'clock this afternoon, fell from the third story and landed on the sidewalk, 'on his side. He was taken. to the house and there it was found that no bones were broken, but he was suffering from internal injuries. Last night he was in a dangerous condition.

The fall was broken partly by his landing on a bank of snow. Several children were playing on the veranda and in dodging them he fell froun the veranda. In going down he turned over twice.

Got Llttlu tor Their Pnln )tcH-o oT the Postmaster's CarcfulnoMH Had Designs ou tlio Berlin Olllee, but Were Frlirhtened Away- Thought to llavo Driven Toward Merlden. (Special to the Courant.) New Britain, Feb. 13. A gang of burglars, who from the traces they left behind were evidently professionals who understood their business, were at work in Kensington early this morning and ransacked the post office at that place. It was evidently their intention to break Into the office on Berlin street also, but In this they were frustrated.

Early last evening several men were seen acting in a suspicious manner near the post office on Berlin street and It was decided that they had designs on the post office. They saw that they were watched and slunk away. A private watchman was placed In the post office for the night. The thieves evidently saw their game was up in that vicinity and made their way to Kensington. The post office has been located in a small building nearly opposite the Kllby House since R.

A. Moore, the new postmaster, took charge. The burglars had no tools. Making their way into Hugh Murphy's blacksmith shop they took a brace and bit and two chisels. They got another chisel and brace at the shop of Andrew Wooding, it Is believed.

They pried up a window on the north side of the post office towards the rear, having to stand on a barrel to reach it. Having gained an entrance the rest waa easy. A hole was drilled first in the top of the safe and filled with powder, which was ignited by a fuse. The safe withstood the explosion and the burglars were compelled to make another attempt. They bored four holes in the front door of the safe and by the use of dynamite blew the door from its hinges and blew out the whole inside of the safe.

They secured as near as can be estimated $4 in stamps and $1.76 in change but lodt 75 cents in pennies untouched. The noise of the explosion and the accompanying flash were seen by John Ritchie, who lives near by, about 2:55 o'clock. He thought It came from the power house and made no Investigation at that time. He got up at 6 o'clock and when he passed the post office saw the window open. He notified Constable Nelson Taylor, who entered the post office and saw the wreck of the safe.

At 3:30, It is stated, the watchman at the Berlin post office saw four men in a two-seated team driven past at a great rate of speed towards Mertden. These are believed to be the burglars. They left all the tools, which they had stolen, in the post office except the bits, which were taken with them. The reason that such a small haul was made la because Postmaster Moore keeps all the stamps at the bank as well as the money when it amounts to a large sum. The safe waa a small one and is not usually locked during the week.

YALE IGNORES IT. Petition of the W. C. T. V.

Allowed to Pass No action will be taken by the Yale faculty on the petition of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, asking that President Dwlght and the govern ing body of the University see to it that Yale students stop drinking. The peti tion, it is stated, will be allowed to pass along. Judge Henry E. Rowland, who Is practically at the head of the Yale alumni in New York, has been aroused by the temperance boycott. He said, In speaking of the petition to the Yale faculty: This attack on Yale is merely an hysterical, emotional, sensational, self-advertising scheme of a certain prohibition paper published in New York.

The university authorities know how to manage th'jlr own affairs, and they will resent to the full any attfmpt to advise and Instruct them. If these temperance people can n-fluence their boys to keep away from the university, let them do so. They, and not the university, will be the only sufferers in the end. There are about Yale only four places where students go. There Is the Graduates' Club, to which a boy can go only when Introduced by his father.

Then there are Traeger's, Mory's and Heuhleln's, all first-class restaurants, conducted in an orderly manner. There are no drunken orgies or disgraceful scenes In them and the students have a perfect right to visit them If they desire." Fortunes Come to Them. Merlden, Feb. F.

Chicago News, i ACCIDENT AT OAS WORKS LEAVES CITY IN DARKNESS. Prudence of the Maiingcra In Not Renewing tho View Till Momhiir-Short City Meetlnsc Vol en 5-Mlll Tax Prow iuba Aniiiiul Notcn. Every gas Jet that was burning In the city at 9:45 o'clock Saturday night was extinguished and for a time there was great commotion among the patrons of the Gas Company.

Some feared that the company would turn on the gas without warning, which would result In some damage and possibly loss of life, but all danger was avoided by the action of the company In n.it reviewing the flow of gas until yesterday morning at 8 o'clock. The cause of the stoppage was an accident which happened to the purifier which Is located in the cast end the building where the gas Is made and which is connected with two Iran gasometers near by. The cap on top of the purifier blew off just after Superintendent M. J. Odgen had left the room ao that he was not aware of the escape of gas In gasometers until the whole of the 30,000 feet In the gasometers had gone Into the air.

Manager Burrltt. who was at home and who had retired for the night, learning that the gas was not burning in his residence, made his way to the gas plant, which Is owned by the Rockvllle Gas Electric Company, and gave orders not to turn on the gas until morning, thus preventing any possible da'nger to life. The police were active and notified all storekeepers who left a gas Jt burning. In many places kerosene 81 lamps were substituted for gas. Tin police watched the business portion of the city very closely for fear that toughs would take advantage of the situation.

Members of the tforce say that 'It was the most dismad night they ever spent cm the force. The city from 12 o'clock to daylight was In total darkness. The trouble at the gas house was g.mn repaired and gas was again In use jiester-day morning Manager Burrltt says this Is the first case of the kind Iti this olty and although It is not likely to happen again It is quite possible for It to do so. But in case of such an accident the patrons may have no fear that gas will be turned on until morning. The City Meeting.

The adjourned annual city meeting was held Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock the town hall. Over city taxpayers were present. The business before the meeting was the laying of a tax on the present grand list of Mayor Heath presided and Ij. D. Phelps wafl clerk.

Alderman C. F. Jackson of the First Ward read a reso lutlon calling for a 3-miIl tax. The motion was then made by the alderman to lay a 8-mlll tax. The motion was seconded, the question called for and the motion carried by a unanimous vote.

The meeting was called to order at 4 o'clock and adjourned at 4:03, being In session three minutes. Th opposition which was anticipated did not materialize. It is learned that the 3-mlll tax was satisfactory to the taxpayers generally. They expected a move on tlte part of the city officials to make It 4 or 6 mills, but the officials had no intention erf proposing any such tax. A 3-mlll tax will raise on the present grand list $22,500 less 5 per cent, discount for payment before September 19.

This it Is thought will be enough to take care of all appropriations made at the city meefng held in December. Press Club Outing.
