Discovered by Woman Calmly Sleep- ing in Doorwa Wearing little excepting his birth- day suit and a look of perfect peace, Edward O’Dell of Hartford, was dis- covered sleeping in an outer hallway of the Muller building on Arch street this afternoon by Mrs. Harry A. Har- greaves of that address. Awakened by her as she opened the outer door of her apartments, he hastily dressed and sprinted for the street while Mrs, Hargreaves used as much haste in getting in touch with Chief William J. Rawlings at police headquarters. Aroused by the report that a mod- ern Adam was using New Britain as his Garden of Eden, Policeman Wil- liam P. McCue and Policeman Mat- thias Rival were rushed to the scene in the patrol. O'Dell was several blocks away by that time, making as fast time as as he could towards the railroad station with clothing threat- ening to fall off at every step. Po- liceman McCue captured him after a long chase in which he made a rec- ord for the 100 yard dash. O'Dell was lodged in a cell charzed with in- to ion. An additional charge of breach of the peace may be brought later. He is said to be the same Ed- ward O'Dell who made a sensational ape about a year ago from a Man- chester policeman while being taken to jail, CHILDREN’S HOME ALMANAC.

The company is doing an unusually large business, and fol- lows the theory that it is better to make a certain profit on two coats than to make the same profit on one, on the ground that two satisfied customers are a better advertisement in the long run than one. Every coat is marked down at least a quarter to a third in price. But the great demand of Christmas shoppers has been for the Dillon gloves, of which there is a complete, varied and high grade line. Gloves and fu are among the specialti to which particular attention glven. The Dillon store has also silk-lined Mocha gloves and an assortment of fancy two-toned embroidered kid gloves, in the newest shades, not to mention extremely long-wristed wool~ en gloves for women and children in v or white, admirably suited for skating, sleigh-rides, and so on. Another specialty of this store is furs, of which there is a great va- riety in stock, at unusually low prices. The millinery department.is one of the busiest in the store just now.
