A TERRIBLE DEATH.
George vvhalen Caught in an
Extractor.
One Arm Torn Completely From the Body
George Bedell Whalcn, age 16, an
employc of the Crawford steam laun-
dry in Bridgeport, was caught in one
of the swiftly moving machines in phe
basement Saturday afternoon and re-
ceivod injuries from which he died a
short. time after.
The machinelwhich was the means
of VVhalen’s death is a centrifugal ex-
tractor or dryer, which revolves at a
speed of 1800 revolutions. The swiftly
moving machine was operated by en-
gineer Gorman, who had repeatedly
warned the boy to keep away from it,
have an uncontrollable attraction for
the boy, who stood near and tried to
catch the ends of the clothes which pro-
jected over the edge. He was engaged
in this pastime when in some way un-
known his arm was caught in the belt.
There was a piercing shriek which
startled everybody in the building.
Engineer Gorman immediately shut-
down the engine and rushed to the
boy’s assistance.
The belt had caught the boy’s arm
and had drawu him with irresistible
force into the machine. His head
struck the iron rim of the machine,pr0-
ducing a deep wound across the fore-
head and fracturing the skull. The
arm was torn completely from the body
and was left in the machine. Whaler]
was thrown over into a tub of cold
water which stood next to the machine
and in which he was partially immersed
when Mr. German reached him.
The ambulance was called and the
boy placed inside, but. he breathed his
last before the hospital was reached.

morning. Mr. J. M. Layton was at his
desk as cashier of the former and
George F. Bearse in asimilar capacity

order of things in the affairs of the
banks, they having for years been con‘
ducted under one set of officials and in
the same banking room, were without
doubt a great change for the working
force, but is bound to prove beneficial
to all concerned.

At the South Norwalk Congregation-

under the direction of the Men’s Sun-
day Evening club. The church audi-
torium was literally packed, there
being about seven hundred present.
The platform was handsomely decor-
ated with large palms and patriotically
draped with American flags, a monster
one hanging directly over the pulpit.
The program which was arranged by
Dr. J. Milton Coburn, was especially
fine in every particular, andwas as fol-

Rev. G. H. Beard was very eloquent
on the Cuban subject and spoke at.
length on the United States” duty to
the people of that much oppressed Is-
land, favoring intervention at the ear-

The violin duets by Miss Littlejoh-n
' and Mr. Hopson were most beautifully
rendered, more especially the last one,
Berceuse, which was a gem of purest
sound and no doubt. was greatly appre~
ciated by the assemblage and had it
not been a church service would have

EVE’S RAMBLIN GS.
COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN, BY ONE
or THEM.
And what think you is the latest
theory as to the “true science of liv-
ing?” Nothing more nor less than
goingwithout breakfast. Yes, literally
skip the morning meal.
Disciples of this new cult must; bid
good-bye to the cozy breakfast. room,
where good mornings are exchanged
and steaming coffee. hot from the urn,
is handed round the cheery board.‘ For
now they say it is more healthful to do
without our breakfast.
That may all be very well, but
where, Mr. No-breakfast-muu, is there
aplace half so good as the breakfast
table to talk over plans for the day or
chat and laugh over the good time we
had last night ?
Alas ! alas l Science does much for
us, but it also sometimes steals away
some cherished institutions. Well, if
we are not to eat; breakfast we want
the going without.
To watch a breakfast—caning family
gradually develop into a non-breakfast-
eating one is sometimes productive of
quiet amusement; on the part of the be-
holder.
First mamma becomes enthusiastic
it is quite reasonable to suppose it will
reduce her “too, too solid flesh.” which
is becoming a physical discomfort; and
an esthetic mistake; so, although she
"was never one of those people who
don’t want their breakfast,” she firmlyr
resolves to go without it, and she does.
The poor lady still presides at the
table and “pours out.” as usual, for
there is no one to whom she can con-
veniently hand over the task. Papa
mildly admonishes, but. secretly ad-
mires the grit it takes to carry out the
resolution.
Sweet-and-twenty has never cared
for her breakfast any way, and if there
is so much virtue in this new thing she
will‘ory it. So she does not appear in
the breakfast room at, all.
Our big brother would willingly try
it if he did not have to start to business
so early in the 'morning, but. at any
rate coffee and rolls are all'he wants. '
Master Hungry Boy, thinking that.
breakfast will soon be a thing of the
past, wants more to eat. than ever and
makes practical use of the opportunity
While he has it.
One radical reformer for the new
regime has become so imbued with the
idea that it is the only true hygienic
way to live that. his family have the
greatest. difiiculty to convince him it is
still quite virtuous to eat. breakfast. if
they wish to.

WIllis’ Appeal for Aid.

Hawley wrote to Gen. Butt at the same
time, explaining the situation.
VVlllis and his companion, Brockhaus,
were members of the Twelfth regiment
last summer. At that time Gen. Butt
was colonel of the regiment, and Willie
supposed he was still the commandant.
Gen. Butt answered Sherilf Hawley’s
letter and stated that he knew nothing
of the two men. They evidently were
not. well infOI med about militai y affair s,
as they did not know of his plomotion.
He did not recall whether they were
old men in the regiment, or a couple of
blackguards who joined the regiment.
