A PATHETIC PORTRAIT.
Thete is a pcculint poItIItil in Was-tr
lngton which has created mtich inter-
est among those who know of its cx»
lfilt'ht‘t". Its pemIliarlly is that cverv
year it has bern changed to show the
changes which time would have made
in the original. The portrait is by II
Washington artist. and is that of his
wife, and was painted many yt‘ut's IIIIII.
whcq she was a young bride. A few
years atter‘tbe portrait was painted
the young wife died. and so great Wit"
the grief of the artist that be deter-
mined to keep her likeness with him
all the time. and tti do so he decided
that year by year he would champ 1va
portrait so as to make it grow old
with him.
Every year. on the anniversary of
his wedding day. the artist locked him.
self in his studio and changed the lines
of the face of the portrait. adding thll
be thought would make the Ilin'crencc
of one year. There have been litany
anniversaries of that marriage tiny.
and consequently many changes in the
portrait. Today the picture is that of
an old woman: the hair turned any.
the face wrinkled and pale. but still
beneath the marks of time. as made
by the brush of the artist. can be seen
the curb beauty of the bride and the
attractiveness of the, young woman.—

A Norwalk Man's toss
Continued from First. Patio.
According to information obtained
by the local authorities today. the thr-
stars walked to this village from Asb-
tey Falls.'Mass.. and began operations
here after midnight III Ashley Falls.
which is two IIIllt‘ri from the Connecti-
(‘Ill state line. the house of John 'l‘ur-
nor was entered before midnight and
articles of clothing anIl food Were
taken. Attempts were. made to alter
the, residence of Arthur Parsons, and
the general store of Frank Smith. but
at each of them places the iutrudors
were frightened away.
The car born of the. Central New
England load was apparently the first
place entered in this village. At the
car barn two crow bars were taken and
lag open the side door of the post ot-
flcc. It is believed that the post oillcc
safe was blown at about 3 o‘clock. as
an explosion was heard by some near-
by resldrnts at that time. though it Is
not known that any one got out of bed
to investigate the cause. About 4
o‘clock. there wcrc'icrles of tire. and
then the vi lagers, thoroughly aroused.
turned ottt to llnd the (‘utnmings block
in flames. 'ihis block was a om-
slory structure of biick. it was lo—
cated In Matti strect. and was occupied
at the north end bv the post other hint
at the south end by the Cannon Sav-
ings batik. while bitweeti these were
the Collins jewelry siroe. '. ..c village
is poorly equipped with fire fighting
apparatus. having only a small quanti-
ty of hose for use with hydrants. and
as the fire was under good headway
when the alarm was gluen. it was im<
practicable"; save the building. When
discovered, the fire was in the roar of
the jewelry store, where there was it
stock of powder and cartridges kept
for sale. The blaze soon communicated
to this powder. causing two scpcratn
explosions. which bit-w out the front
wall of the, building.
From the Cummings block. which
was entirely destroyed. the fire swept
to a frame dIvIlling house on the north
side owned by Mr. Cummings. and oc-
cupled by Mia Saiah Hamm. as a
boarding house. This building w’ns
partially burnt-ll. while a building on
the smith side of the‘CtImnilngs block.
owned by (l. 1.. Parsons and Soii. was
scorched. Both of these buildings were
kept well covered by hydrant. streams.
and this doubtless prevented the
flames from swooping away the entire
village.
On accotmt of the heat of the ruins.
it was a long time after the tire before
it was possible to approach the sales
in the Cummings building to ascertain
their contiltitm. It w.'t~‘ found eventual
ly that. the post other safe had been
Iiynnnilted. and that the entire con—
tents had been taken away. Although
the post office cmpioyes were reticent
about the loss, in the absence of the
postmaster. Attorney lienry Rorsback
who was out of town. it was estimated
that it would reach 81.000. The safe
is said to have. contained the funds of
tho ofllce as WI‘II as a considerable
amount in stamps.
The jewelry store safe. and all the
stock of goods on the shelves and
shelves and counters went Into a heap
of rains in the cellar so that Mr. Col-
tins could not get at the safe this
morning. He. estimates his fire loss at
about 82.000. which is partly covered
by Insurance.
The bank officials found after the
tire that their safe had not been touch.
cd by tho burglars. They say that
their loss will no confined to the de-
struction of the bank fixtures, and will
not exceed 32.000. This loss is also
partly insured.
Mr. Cnmntlugs' loss on the buildings
is estimated at $5.000. while the lass on
postomce fixtures and the contents of
the dwelling house may be figured in
hundreds. Mr. Cummings‘ property
was insured. ‘
Officials throughout this section and
in the larger cities of the state were
notified of the robbery. but it Is be-
lieved the burglars made good their
escape by train Irom Winsted. The
team which they took from the Warner
Hotel stable was found hitched near
the entrance of Highland Park. In
\Vinsted. not far from the Naugntnck
division station. It Is probable that
they reached Winsted in time to boar
the 5:30 train for New'iYork. Early in
the forenoon two men who boarded a
train at llillerton. N. Y}, on the Hat'-
lem division of the New York Central.
were held up by oncers at Natteawan.
They easily proved their innocence by
communicating with Lakevillc when
they have been visiting. and were re-
leased.
Mr. Cummings stated this morning
that he received a telegram. announc-
ing the burning of the. building: He
did not. however. know y at the par-
tlculara. He said he 88.000 in-
tbe noun.
