' MRS. PHELPS’ REVELATION.
BY CHARLES E. REED. I
7" “Madam, I need help; won’t you give
me something?” The question was ad-
dressed to Mrs. Phelps, who had just
entered her carriage.
1‘ .
“No, I’ve no money to waste on lazy
vagabonds!” was her sharp reply as
the carriage door slammed shut.
‘ Mrs. Phelps, a wealthy young widow,
prominent in fashionable society, was
in an unpleasant frame of mind. She
had just visited three of the largest
stores in the city in a vain. search for
a certain costly fabric, and now felt
that she was an exceedingly unfortunate
and most ill-used individual. Presente
ly the carriage drew up before another
- store, which Mrs. Phelps entered after
instructing her four-year-o-ld son to
remain seated in the carriage until her
return. Master Phelps was very obedi-
ent for about three minutes. Then his
attention was attracted by something
which appealed to him quite as strongly
as to a less aristocratic juvenile—the
antics of a monkey under charge of a
peripatetic musician. Standing on tip-
toe, he laid his hands against the door,
which, having been accidentally
left unfastened, yielded to the pressure
and partly Opened; and in a very short
time the young gentleman was out of
the carriage and half-way across the
street. Then, in an instant, there was a
hoarse cry of warning, a woman’s
shriek—and something grasped the boy,
swung him from right in front of a
runaway team, and laid him, frightened
and screaming, in his mother’s arms.
3 After she had soothed the child and
put him into the carriage, Mrs. Phelps
turned to the rather shabbily-dressed
man to whose agility her son’s rescue
was due.
“You have saved my Arthur’s life!”
she exclaimed. “Come to-morrow to
my residence and name your reward.
Meanwhile, take this;” and she handed
him a $20 gold piece.
But the man refused the proffered
gold.
“Why should you reward a lazy vaga-
bond? That is what you called me: a
bit ago when. I asked you for some-
thing,” :he remarked.
Mrs. Phelps looked at him closely
and recognized him.
“I was out. of humor,” she explained.
“Pardon what I said, and tell me how
I can assist you.”
“Madam, you’ve invited me to come to
your home. If you’d do me a kindness,
. come to mine instead.”
Mrs. Phelps looked at him in amaze-
ment. .
“I can hardly do that,” she said. “I
would much rather-”
“As you please, madam. I‘m glad I
was able to rescue your child. If you're
glad, I wish you’d visit my home. It
isn’t much to ask.” .
“What is your name, and where do
you live?”
He said his name was James Thomp—
son, and named an obscure street as his
address.
“After I’ve taken my child home, I’ll
call and see you,” said Mrs. Phelps.
“I’ll be there by the time you are,” he
responded.
An hour later Mrs. Phelps, accom-
panied by a trusty servant, having
driven into a narrow street, entered a
most uninviting tenement, and ascended
three flights or rickety, filthy stairs,
was admitted to a. small attic room,
lighted by a single window. The floor
was carpetless. A cracked stove, an
old table, a large box which served as
a cupboard, a bed, and. two or three
broken-backed chairs, were the only
furniture. But though so bare and
comfortless, the room was clean. Upon
the scantily covered bed lay two persons
—a woman of perhaps 35 and a little
girl of about six——bot~h evidently ill and
both sleeping uneasily. '
“I asked you to come here because I
wanted you to see this,” said Thomp-
son in a low voice. “This”——with a
comprehensive wave of the hand—“is
my home. You see all my furniture——
except what’s at the pawnshop. I have
no fire, and no fuel to make it with; no
food, and no money to buy it with. I
have a little medicine left by the doctor,
but none of the comforts needed by my
sick wife and child. This, madam, is
._ why I asked you for help this morning.”
Mrs. Phelps covered her face.
“How long have you been in thisde-
plorable condition?” asked Mrs. Phelps.
“To—day is the first I’ve had to beg,”
was the reply; “something I’d have
thrown myself into the river rather
than do if it hadn’t been for them. But
I couldn’t see them starve. 'I came to
the city five years and more ago,” he
added after a moment’s pause. “I had
bad luck, for work was dull. From hav-
ing a little house by ourselves, we were
obliged to move here, and then my wife,
who was a good seamstress, succeeded
in getting men’s trousers to make at 18
cents a pair.”
“Eighteen cents a pair!” exclaimed
Mrs. Phelps.
“Yes; but the price soon fell to 15
cents, and as I was out of employment,
I helped with the sewing. By working
from early morning till late at night
we managed to earn enough to pay our
rent and buy sufficient food to keep us
from starving. But the rates Went
down, down, down, to 13, to 12, even to
ten cents a pair.”
“What! Ten cents for making a
pair of trousers? Who is mean enough
" to pay such wages as that?”
“The great clothing firm of Phelps &
Co., madam!”
“Phelps & Co.! Impossible!”
“The firm, madam, of which your
husband was the head. I wonder if,
when he gave largely to some library,
church or hospital, he ever thought of
the poor wretches who toiled day and
night, summerand winter, with aching
eyes, weary fingers and hungry
stomachs, that the mill which ground
out his money might turn him out a
good-sized grist! I can take you to
half __a dozen families in this very house
who make, trousers for Phelps & Co., at
the same prices, and who, like us, have
finished coats at from five to ten cents
each, and make knee pants at 16 to 18
cents a ddzen pairs.” .
“Eighteen cents a. dozen pairs! You
don’t mean that?” _
“Yes, madam, I do. When Phelps &
Co. pay ten cents for making a pair of
trousers which sells for five dollars, is
it any wonder that the firm pro-spers
exceedingly, and that your husband was
able to give away his thousands ?”
“Thisis a revelation to me,” said Mrs.
Phelps. “I cannot see how you man-
aged to exist at all.”
“It’s been a hard, hard struggle,” re-
plied Thompson. “With the aid of our
little girl—for she has been sewing ever
since she was four years old—we were
occasionally able to earn a dollar inna
day; but that was seldom. We had to
pay a dollar and a quarter per week for
this room, and hardly, ever had more
than four dollars a week to feed, clothe
and warm the three of us. But for the
last six months the child has been ill.
Ten days ago my wife took sick, and be-
cause of having. to wait on her and the
child I was able to do so little sewing
that the foreman got angry the other
day and refused to give me any more
work. Besides, we have been falling
behind with the rent, and only yester-
day I received notice that if I don’t pay
up by the end of the week I and my sick
family must leave.”
“Outrageous! Who is your land-
lord?”
Thom pson' took a paper from his
pocket, and, remarking that it was his
last receipt, handed it to Mrs. Phelps,
who, after a single glance, started, and
then stood staring at it in open-mouthed
astonishment. For her own name was
affixed to the receipt!
“What!” she ejaculated, as soon as
she could find her voice. “This house—
mine?”
“So it seems.”
“This is my agent’s work,” said Mrs.
Phelps, half to herself. “And he would
have turned you into the. street! Hor-
rible!”
She Opened her pocket and took out
some bills. .
“Mr. Thompson,” she said, “I thank
you for insisting that I should come
here. You have opened my eyes to some
things I was blind to before. Take this
—it is only a very small part of the
heavy debt I owe you. Buy fuel, food,
clothing, furniture, medicines—what
ever you and your sick family most re-
quire. Spend it freely, but pay no rent;
this room shall never cost you another
cent.” ‘
“God bless you, madame!” Thompson
exclaimed, his eyes filling with tears.
“I take your gifts now with a glad. and
thankful heart. I felt sure that all you
needed was to see and understand. But,
oh, remember that there are others in
this house almost as badly off as you
found me.” . .
. Upon reaching home Mrs. Phelps
went to her room and shut herself in.
Her visit to James Thompson had in-
deed beenza revelation to her. How had
she discharged the responsibility which
the possession of great wealth carries
with- it? By lavishing money on
flowers, music, rich viands and the like,
when so many were lacking the neces-
saries of life. And, most humiliating
thought of all, much of the very wealth
which she enjoyed had been earned
for her by those same. starving poor.
Theirs it was—not hers—if justice were
done. In.- her humiliation she knelt and
offered what was, perhaps, the first real
prayer that had risen from her lips
for a long time; a. prayer in which she
craved pardon for the thoughtlessness,
selfishness and frivolity of the past,
and consecrated her wealth to the serv-
ice of Christ and of those concerning
whom He said: “Inasmuch as ye have
done it unto one of the least of these
* * * ye have done it unto Me.”
’1 "-'-1I'-.11
A year has passed. James Thompson
with his wife and daughter, both of
whom have been restored to health, are
living in a.neat, pleasant house, the
gift of Mrs. Phelps, through whose in-
strumentality Thompson has procured
lucrative employment. The year has
witnessed some other changes, too—
especially in the real estate owned by
Mrs. Phelps. Very promptly she called
upon her agent and gave that individual
some instructions which fairly took his
breath away. She obtained from him
a list of all tenements owned by her,
and then set to work to systematically
visit each house and the families occu-
pying it. Such poverty, squalor and
degradation as she encountered! As
a. result of this inspection, she ordered
a general reduction of the rents, a
thorough cleaning of all the houses
and numerous repairs, while some
crazy habitations she ordered to be de-
molis-hed.
Phelps & Co. nolonger pay starvation
wages to their employes. Mrs. Phelps’
husband had bequeathed her a- controll-
ing interest in the firm, and one day she
startled the other partners’by propos-
ing a heavy increase in the rates paid
for making up clothing. They dc-
murred. and said that such an increase
would bankrupt the firm. *But Mrs.
Phelps persisted in her demand, and
finally Induced the senior partner to
accompany her to the abodes of some of
the people employed by the firm. They
had not visited many places when he
said he had seen quite enough.
“How do you suppose the patronage
of Phelps é’r. Co. would be affected,”
asked Mrs. Phelps, “if our customers
were aware that their new garments
had been=lying a few hours before on
the dirty floor of a tenement or on the
bed of a child sick with a contagious
disease?”
Being unable to answer this question
satisfactorily, both partners quietly.
submitted to the inevitable. The wages
were raised, and, far from becoming
bankrupt, the firm of Phelps & Co. is
more prosperous than ever. And' Mrs.
Phelps to-day is a very cheerful, happy
woman—far happier than when she
was a devotee at the altar of fashion.
For she knows that she has the smile
of Him to whom she has consecrated
not only her wealth and her time, but
herself.—N. Y. Observer. ‘

MAY oEflAoHEo. ,
Every reader, says the Danbury News,
is familiar with the details of the stormy
voyage of the steamer Montgomery,
over paths untroddeu by any adventur-
ous steamboat. . '
They know how she was purchased in
South N orwalk and how Contractor
Raymond hoisted her out of the water
and placed her upon the biggest trucks
he could find in the city of soft shell
crabs. That was a. month ago.
Sixteen horses were hitched to the
trucks, and after a perilous trip of
twenty-nine days the steamer landed in
Danbury. The journey was an event-
ful one, and the bout encountered perils
that she never met with on Long Island
Sound even in the most tempestuous
times.
When she reached Lake Kenosio Fri-
day evening she was a. sorry looking
bout. Her pilot house was detached
from her cabin and her smokstack was
missing. Her rudder was gone and
there were a. score of things to indicate
the trials she had encounted on her
journey.
This afternoon she lies upon the shore
of Lake Kenosia, with her nose just
ready to slide off into the water when
she is given the necessary assistance.
But no one knows when she will be set
afloat. The contractors who brought
her through the dangers of her journey
have not been paid and they will not
launch her. *
Her owners say that the money is
ready for the contractors and will be
paid whenever the boat is placed in the
water. The trouble seems to be about
the amount of money which is to be
paid. Raymond Brothers contracted
to bring the boat to Danbury for $225.
They expected to make the trip ina
week at the most and thought there
would be money in the job. But they
say'that the weight of the boat was
misrepresented to them. They say it
weighs at least twenty tons, while they
understood that the weight was much
less when they made the contract. The
cost of bringing the boat to Danbury
was $1,100, which is probably as much
or more than the boat is worth. Ray-
mond Brothers want the owners of the
Montgomery to pay I ulf of the expense
of transportation, $7.50.
It was said this afternoon, continues
the News, that litigation might result
before the matter was adjusted and it
was expected that the boat would be
attached at almost any time.
And that is not the only danger that
confronts the Montgomery, for weather
beaten mariners who have tossed about
upon the billows of Lake Kenosia for
years and have pulled more prickbacks
and pumkinseeds from her dark depths
than any twenty other grizzled veteté
ans of the blue waters say that she can
never be used to advantage upon so
small a sheet of shallow water. In the
first place they think that she draws
toO much water to be run close to the
shore. and that it will be difficult to get
aboard her unless passengers put out
in row boat-s {while she anchors some-
where out in the lake. They prophesy
that she will run hard ashore before she
makes many trips and there will be
nothing on the lake big enough and
powerful enough to pull her off again
unless Dr. Knox discovers a. sea mon-
ster which is big enough to perform the
required service.

In the Superior court on Saturday,
Judge George W.’ Wheeler handed
down a decision in the case of Village
of Chester vs. Leonard et al., in which
judgment is rendered for the defend-
ant. The defendant is a Norwulk man

and was not. completed within the time
specified in the contract. Damages
were placed at $5,000. The trial of the
case occupied nearly a week and was
completed March 4 last.

Constable Samuel ,0. Ireland of South
Norwalk made an unexpected move in
the suit brought againsthim by Wil-
mot Fawcett of Norwalk Monday
morning. Through his counsel, Attor-
ney John H. Light, he appeared before
Judge Howard J. Curtis in the court of
common pleas and petitioned for a new
trial. The petition followed an injunc-
tion secured by Ireland last week which
prevented the issuing of an execution.
against the defendant on the judgment
which was sustailited by the supreme
court. A hearing was to have been held
on a motion to dissolve the injunc-
tion but the petition for a new trial up-
set the plans. Judgc Curtis said that
as the case was originally tried by
Judge N. 0. Downs of Stamford he was
fully acquainted with the evidence and
was better able to judge whether the
evidence now produced was sufficient
and of the right kind to grant an order
for a new trial. Attorneys Chamber-
lain and Gray who appeared for ,Mr.
Fawcctt, objected to the continuance
and wanted Judge Curtis to hear the
motion. The court decided, however,
that it would be much better for Judge
Downs to hear the matter and ordered a
hearing before that gentleman on Fri-
day.
The case is. an interesting one in
many respects and is being stubbornly
contested by the defendant. Sometime
ago Mrs. Louise Fawcett and her hus-
band Wilmot Fawcett, were in the
millinery business in Norwalk. A claim
against the business was placed in the
hands of Attorney Light for collection
and he placed the writ in the hands of
Constable Ireland who attached a large
amount of stock. The suit was directed
against-Mrs. Fowcett and Mr. Fawcett
claimed that he owned the goods at-
tached. The goods were subsequently
returned but he claims that their con-
dition was such as to prevent their sale
and refused to take them back. He
brought suit agamet the officer and
made his bondsmen parties in the ac-
tion. The suit was tried before Judge
Downs of Stamford after several mo-
tions of various kinds had been pleaded.
Finally a decision was given In favor of
the plaintiff and allowed him to recover
over $600 and costs. Mr. Ireland car-
ried the matter to the supreme court of
errors at the present session of that
tribunal and the decision of Judge
Downs was upheld.
When the time came for securing an
execution to levy in favor of the judg-
ment, an injunction confronted Mr.
Fuwcett. His attorney, Joseph A.
Gray, at once moved for its dissolution
and the time for the hearing was set
for yesterday. A number of witnesses
were in court but when Judge Curti
took his place on the bench he informed
Mr. Gray that Attorney Light had filed
an application for a new trial. He
thought Judge Downs should hear the
petition and so decided. The newly
discovered evidence claimed is that of
a Miss Van Tassell who for seven years
was a clerk at the store.

Ir looks like apuzzle, and it is a
' puzzle until you try it yourself.
That solves it. Every man can solve
it. Every woman can solve it. On
one side of the scales is a single drop.
0n the other side is a dipperful.
Yet the drop carries the most weight.
Why is it, and how is it? Here is
the explanation. ‘
The one drop is a drop of Puritans.
The dippcrful is a dipperful of so-
coiled blood purifier, nerve tonic, or
other palate-tickling concoction. The
one drop of Puritana is real medicine
—-1tcures. The dipperfulisan ing,
everything, and nothing, w on it
comes right down to a real cure. -
Puritona is the prize formula of
Prof. Dixi Crosby, who was for thirty—
two _years at the head of Dartmouth
Medical College. It strikes at the
root of 92 per cent. of human suffer-
ing, and brings new strength, new
health, new 11 e through the power
producer of the system. Puritana
makes the heart rig}: lungs right,
hver right. blood rig {h i neys right,
nerves right, and heal ri t, because
it makes the stomach r! is. To any
man, woman, or child w 0 will take
it as, directed, Puritana will practi-
cally give a. "new stomach. That is
why hundreds and thousands of
, people have proved that it cures from
cad to foot. y .
J. F. Scott, for years, a prominent
contractor and builder in Concord,
World-
, ._,.,
“I have used Puritana. for torpld
liver, indigestion, and a. species of
dyspepsia, and it has given me such
relief .that I felt made over new.
For these troubles I would rather
have one bottle of Puritana. than a.
barrel of any other medicine.”
She can eat anything now, but her
life was hanging in the balance, when
her stomach could not digest the
simplest food. Mrs. Belle W.- Cale, of
Charlestown, Mass, tried country air
and seven doctors in vain, but Puri-
tana. gave her a new stomach and a
new lease of life.
Mrs. Henry W. Craiguc, of Concord,
N. H., was ill for years. She had no
appetite, no strength, no ambition.
Her life was one constant round of
misery and suffering. Puritana gave
her an appetite and rugged strength.
It made a new woman of her.
No chance, was what the doctor
said about George H.’ Dunning, of
Faneuil Hall Market, Boston. He
had nervous prostration. had no

After trying many doctors, hospi-
tals, and medicines in vain, Mrs. J. S.
Daly, of Cambridge, Mass, had also
abandoned hope, when Puritana was
brought to her relief. It ave her
strength and health, pure, ric blood,
vigorous digestion, and' raised her
frOm the sick bed to the full vigor
of happy womanhood.
Yes, one drop of Puritans will
bring more real relief, more real cure,
more real strength, more real nerve
force, more real power and vital
energy, more _real “ life-is-worth—
