' A Clever Capture.
Captain Dana Locales the Woman Who
Abandoned Her Child.
Captain Wallace Dann who has been
engaged on detective work’llfor the past
few days, last night landed hls pris-
oner in the station- house.
She was wanted for the alleged
abandonment of a two weeks’ old child
found in a vacant lot at Cranbury.
The Captain became possessed soon
after the finding of the babe, which
was alive, offacts that led him to be-
lieve that the woman who had aban-
doned the child was Maggie Quinn, who
has previouslyligured in the courts of
Norwalk'. ‘
The Captain leal ncd that she was in
Westport in the company of an Italian
friend. Driving to VVcstport he 'en-
listed the services of Sheriff Kemper,
and soon had the woman under arrest.
She cOnfessed to having left the babe
where it was found and says that it will
be tWO weeks old to-day. She claims
it was born in a New York hospital,
and that she abandoned it only because
she had no means of giving it support.
The Judge found her guilty of the
charge preferred against her, and she
was bound over for trial in the-higher
cou1t'at Blidgepov t in the sum of$l, 00b
in default of which she was taken t1
jail.

COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE
OF THEM.
The music in thc cl 1111 ches of the
twin cities has been up-to-date and in
many cases unsurpassed by any church
in the state during the past year.
Apropos of church choirs. It is amus
ing somb of the étories one hears as
one goes around. For veritable tem
pests in teapots Just,“ (rive me the avei age
church choir after they have been to-
gether two or three " years. It is sad
to relate but it’s nevertheless a fact
that there is more dissension and bit-
terness, yes “positive animosity shown
by members of choirs toward one an-
other than there is in actual warfare
it 13!, truly laughable to hear of some
of the small things, trifles it would
seem, but which nevertheless cause
outbursts of temper and the arousmg
of uncomfortable feelings. It is very
trying on the director of the choir who.
has it all to contend with.
In church choirs misunderstandings
arise and are brooded upon and finally
jealousy culminates. It would seem
that it were better that choirs change
about every year and thus avoid becom-
ing so intimate with one another that
that very familiarity breeds contempt.
The protesting woman may please a
man occasionally but can never make
herself eternally pleasing to him.
Suppose a man offers to take a letter
to the box on the corner for you, to
buy some medicine that he thinks
would do your cold good, to step around
to a library to get some book that you
are wishing for, don’t protest.
average woman of to-day is, to say
rather impatiently: “Oh no, I would
not trouble you for world‘s. I can mail
my own letter.” or “I never take medi-
cine for a cold” or "‘I have something
else I can read to-night.”

An Exclusive.
The GAZETTE received :1 sp :ciztl dc-
spatch from the UnionAssoca ed Press
yesterday afternoon, announcing the
death of England’s great statesman,
William E. Gladstone. The news, was
bulletined on the GAZETTE’S bulletin
board and put into type for the after-
noon’s edition. '
Just before going to press, however.
a second despatch was received deny-
ing Mr. Gladstone‘s death, and the
matter .was removed from the forms and
no mention made of it.
When the Hour appeared a short
time afterwards it contained an exclu-
sive doubleheaded announcement 'Of
Mr. .Gladstone’s death, notwithstand-
ing the fact that no despatch lelating
to M1. Gladstone had been receixcd bv
that paper.
