Sunday, a woman died when few years ago was considered Maine by her relatives, and she was obliged to fight very hard to escape from being kept In an insane asylum .it their request. She directed her own case in two long trials and se- cured her liberty. Having obtained her freedom she proceeded to show that she wasn't as crazy as some folks s‘rapected. She inherited $200,000 from her father and her early at- tempts to take care of it resulted in a nervous breakdown, which was the cause of her being placed under re- straint. She soon rallied and devoted the rest of her life to making money. The extent of her success in that di- motion is shown by the leaving of an estate worth $750,000. ’ it is very probable that if the woman hadn't had money her brothers and sisters would not have been so anxious to have her locked up. but that she was smarter than they is in- v dicatedby her success as a financier: , and now they will receive, according to the terms of her will. $10,000 each a year as long as they live. The kind of insanity that that woman had was not as bad as it seemed. UNION MEMORIAL SERVICE. Will- be Held Tomorrow Evening in ' First M. E. Church.

One of thorn seemed consid erably at sea yesterday when asked for an opinion. Another manufacturer states that his firm intends to fight hard for the Danbury Prices. June lst is the time for fixing up the bill and June is next week. it is maintained in some quarters that the llanbury prices on all work would mean quite a boom to South Norwslk. Superior Company Progressing. The Superior Hat Company now has fifteen girls and eight curlers at work. in addition to the finishers and work- ers in other departments and it was stated today that next Tuesday they will still further increase their force. The company has been planning to do a. big business. Danbury Manufacturers' Meetings. ..ccording to the understanding here the Dnnbury Manufacturers' Associa- tion held lengthy meetings both Thursday and yesterday and an officer of the local trade said this morning that apparently there was no doubt that some of the manufacturers had sent word to their men to get ready to go to work next week. This report was the basis of considerable belief that there is something doing definitely in the way of- a settlement. The Tuesday afternoon social which the makers and Finishers are arrang- ing for the trade, will be held at the Labor Lyceum. in Washington street. instead of in a public hall. it will follow a regular roll call. Benefits Paid Teday. The Trimmers received their bene- fits today at the Lyceum, the same is last week. Benefits were also paid to the men. though the hope that they would be full benefits was not. quite realized. The trade has been going its best to raise a large sum at the baseball game this afternoon at Amusement Park and have sold many tickets. TWENTIETH WEEK BEGINS. it is Expected to Bring Something . Definite in tha Tloup. (Danbury News, Friday.) Nineteen weeks have elapsed since the beginning of what has proved to be the longest and most geflorsl tieup the batting industry of the country has known and today marks the open- ing of the twentieth week. While there is general belief and ap- parently with more or less reason, that a crisis in the situation in this district is at hand. or at least that important developments may be expected it any time, there is still no definite news about the opening of the shops. In regard to the legal opinion which. it has been confidently asserted dur- ing the last day or two. several of the manufacturers had asked a firm of em- inent New York lawyers to give upon their position under the bond of 825.- 000 to their national association. noth' ing was made public today from oili- cisi cources, and a member of the press committee of the local associa- tion declined either to confirm or deny a story from other sources that the opinion was received yesterday after. noon and was presented to a meeting pf the association last sv suing. in various places where batting sf fairs are discussed, however, it was asserted, both last night and today. that the opinion was received yester- day afternoon, and that it was the sub- ject of discussion at the manufactur- ers’ meeting, last night. and that its general tenor was favorable to the idea that the manufacturers who desir- ed to do so could enter into the pro- posed plan of adjustment without mak- ng themselves liable under the bond. it was reported also that different con- structions were put upon the legal opinion by various individuals, and that this left matters still somewhat in doubt. The general drift of conversation to- day among thoso who professed to know about what was transpiring. was to the effect that thinks looked favor- able to progress toward adjustment. The fact that another general most» in of the manufacturers' association was held this morning from 11 o'clock until 12:30 attracted considerable at- tention. and served to strengthen the impression that something of unusual importance was a! hand. The local association of list li‘inlirh- ers and Rat Makers will follow the same plan this wool: in relation to the remnant of benefits that they did lsstnl week. The daishsrs pill assemble at the Library place rink at half past ion. The Makers will pay benefits at their headquarters in the opera house block from 10 oclock on. Much interest was manifested in this city today by men on both sides, u the reports from Trenton. N. J., that Judge Cross. sitting in the United States court. had sustained the demur- rer of the counsel for the United liat~ tors in the injunction proceedings brought by the Ssrnucl Murrdiroim (30., of Brooklyn. The decision was made known late in the afternoon, apparent- ly, and was not contained ill the New Jersey papers last evening. New Jersey court Sustains Demurfsr of United Hatters. illaiiy Trade Record.) Sustaining the demurrer filed by the United Halters of North America against the application made by the Samuel Mundheim Company, of Brooklyn, for an injunction restrain- ing the union from in any way fining or penalizing its members who might return to work in the factories of the Associated Manufacturers, or intimr dating or preventing any men from working. Judge Cross in the United States Circuit Court .' Trenton has practically thrown the manufacturers case out of court. Just what the next step will be In the manufacturers' fight in the. courts against union dom- ination. could not be learned yester- day. as Milton Dammarrn. counsel for the Association, who drew the bill of complaint. was out of the city. it is understood, however, that probably a new complaint will be drawn. and that the defects on which the court dis- missed the bill, namely, that it cm- braced matters twenty~fivo years old and was an omnibus bill, will be rem» edied. it was reporilxl from Danbury that a number of the manufacturers of that district who were desirous of arriving at an adjustment with the union. have consulted a well known New York firm of lawyers, relative to their liability on.thc $25,000 bond furnished by each member to abide by the acts of the National Association. should they re sign from the Association and resume work with the union label inside of 20 days, which is expressly prohibited by their agreements. When the legal opinion arrives in Danbury, it is stat' ed. another meeting of the local manu- facturers will he held to consider it. Concerted or divided fiction by the lo cal manufacturers. it is said. waits on the arrival of the expert opinion. Mat- ters are very uncertain in the Connec- ticut districts, to say the least and a doubt has been expressed whether the manufacturers themselves know what they are going to do. Late news from Daubury yesterday was to the effect that at a special meeting yesterday the opinion was re rclved and discussed. it is understood that the present plan of arbitration. as suggested by Father John 1). Kennedy, would provide for the withdrawal of the Danbury. New Milford and Bethol manufacturers from the National As- sociation. and the impression prevails In Danbury that such action is possi- ble. although the manufacturers refuse ed to give out any information. it was said that a number of the local also cistiou wore in favor of withdrawing if they could be assured they would not be responsible on their bonds while others are strongly opposed to such a course. Orange was somewhat excited yes- terday morning over the alleged dis- covery of a dynamite plot said to be engineered by foreigners among the strikers. It seems that 13 sticks of dynamite were stolen from a nearby quarry and rumor immediately con- nected the disappearance of the oxpio sives with a tale of wholesale destruo tion concocted by the dissatisfied strik- ers. The manufacturers admitted that they were alarmed to the extent of em- plcylng extra Pinkerton detectives. as well as appealing to therauthorltios for additional protection. The force of deputies detailed about the troubled districts were doubled last night. The Style Tendency for Fall. (The American Hatter). - There is little material change is stiff hat styles for fall. The smaller shapes continue to be favored for nob- by trade, and for the more consona- tive business the dimensions for staple shapes continue 515x153 and imam-2. Brown stiff hats have fall- en off considerably in the demand the orders booked by the salesmen on the road calling for but a small percentage of colors in derbios. There is noticeable a decided tenden- cy, howovor. toward oval crowns——s condition which would seem to indi- cate that the vogue of full tips had reached its zenith-not that th decid- ed oval crowns hsve returned favor, but shapes that have just a little tap or. only one degree removed from the full tip. are being taken up more gen- erally, This condition furnishes the basis for the prediction that in the and more until the fall oval stage is reached. or course. this means. also that higher crowns will ultimately pro lrisofihatsforaohbytl‘sdacrcusd near future. crowns will taper more. .muh‘ mu Boston Store’s sarcasm.

The younger or m rs fif the trade may consider the s it so edge tohavo been a novelty of this season's cres- rlon and it will probably interest them to learn that this is a revival of a rogue of a. couple of decades ago, and More than one manufacturer has prob tbly gone into his storehmrse ran- sacking the place for the machine that does this work, wiping off the dust of twenty years or more and once more putting it into commission to produce the new i?) stitched edge binding on soft hail. There is also a decided call for welt edges. The vogue of colors which first be- came general several years ago, has been greatly stimulated for fall. Only a few seasons back. black soft hats dominated soft but demand. Then pearls found favor for a couple of seasons. being succeeded by a great two-season popularity for various shades of brown. then followed last spring by the introduction of greens, which last fall had a remarkable gen- eral demand This spring other radical colors. such as light blues and various shades of purple and dark maroons. were in- troduced. and in the orders booked for fall these colors are well represented. Various shades of dark gray. such as stone. slate. smoke. otc.. form tthe bulk of the fall soft hatorders. There is also a strong demand. among high-class trade. for rough felts. beavers and various scratch-up effects. such as brush hats. Tendency Seems to be Toward Adjust- ment Plan. (Danbury News, Thursday.) The general tendency of things in ms local batting situation according to the best information obtainable to- lay. appears to be toward the consum~ oration of the plan of adjustment in this district, propoaed a few weeks ago by the Rev. Father Kennedy. and dis- cussed in its various details since that Offic i’imo by both. manufacturers and on em. it is an open secret. and one that be- came pretty well known today among people more or loss in touch with what is transpiring in batting affairs, that 1. number of manu acturers who are avorablo to the hstment plan have raked an eminent opal firm in New York for an opiulorr’s to their liability .rnder their bond :25. 000 to the Na- tional Association of flat Manufactur- era in case that they should enter into ho adjustment. This opinion was ex- pectod yesterday, and it was generally Iunderstood that a meeting of the local association of manufactursrs would is held last night, and that the opinion would be presented there. The most- ‘ng was not held. however, and it was rtstad in various unoflloial quarters this morning that the reason was that Mufti Norwalk. the expected opinion of thcvlantyers had been delayed and for that reason the meeting had been postponed. The impression gained today by those who are close i': the situation is that nirntevor lrWauil'itr .i during] the next few days will in annulled: largcly by the nature or the expo-«trill opinion, and that if the opinion sir ruld' be to the effect that the manufacturers. who entered the adjustment plan ‘ would not make themselves liable to the forfeiture of their bonds. some def inite action might be expected in the immediate future. The general impression that prevail- cd in batting circles two uccks ago. about the time of the metingsof the National Association of Manufacturers in New York, at which the concessions asked by the manufacturers in this dis: trict were refused, was that some stee of an independent nature would taken in order to make it possible to goon with the plan of adjustment it was even said that some or all Of the manufacturcrs in Dunbury Bethel and New Milford urlglrt withdraw from the national association. With the delay in action of any kind that followed. this irrrprcssimr lost ground, and for a week or mon- it has been felt that matters looked vcry uncertain. it is said that the idea that the lrlanufucturcrs who took such a step as the one proposed might make themselves liable under their bonds to the national association was responsible for much of the delay and uncertainty. Now comes the story of the move to procure an opinion up- on that point from some of the most eminent counsel in the country. It is said open the best of authority, although there is as yet nothing ae-' tunlly odlcial upon that point, that the national executive board of the United Hatters is. and has for some time been fa‘vorabie to the plan of adjustment as preposed and that a conference for that purpose could be entered into up on very short notice iliiiiiiiiiiliiiiis ' LAST THREE DAYS OF THE YARD STOCK CO.
