There is a singular story in comn- nection with a coin of the third Napo- Jeon. While Louis Napoleon was prince president of France, just before he made himself emperor, a decree was issued ordering a fivefranc piece to be coined bearing his image. The dies were made,- and one coin wag struck off as a sample and sent to the prince president for his ap- proval. But some time passed before he examined it. When at last he gave it his attention he was annoyed to find that he had been represented on the coin with a love lock, or hooked lock of hair on the temple, which he act- ually did wear at that period, but which he thought unsuitable to so dig- nified and permanent a representa- tion of himself as an effigy on a coin. ¥ The prince president sent for the director of the mint and ordered him to remove the love lock. Then he found that his silence with regard to the piece had been taken for approval, and that the stamping of the coins had begun. The work was stopped and the image deprived of its undignified lock. But the 23 coins that had al- ready been struck off were not de- stroyed and are now regarded as of great value. The Public ‘Eye. In a little more we came to an open space, very thronged. “The Public Eye!” shouted the megaphone man of our party. There were some curious people within the space, but even more curi- ous were those just outside. Of these latter we thought certain women especially interesting; they were busily neglecting their familles in order to get into the Public Eye. A pathos attached to another group of women who had been in the Public Eye and could never be happy out of it, though they couldn't in the least tell why. Positively funny were a few men who kept trying, by a variety of droll devices, to break into the Public Eye. “Vice-presidential candidates!” our megaphone man explained.—Puck.

The transportation committee of the board of trade, on Iinstruction from { that body, is to take up the matter of curing a greater certainty of connec- ons between trains and south bound electric cars out of Putnam. Since the train service was reduced by the N. Y., | N. H. & H. rallroad on the Norwich | brarch, some time since, 1 al people have been far more dependent on the electrie service to get from Putnam to Danielson, and this also applies to res- idents in all the places on the trolley line between Putnam and Central Vil- lage. As at present arranged, in rela- tion to trains from the west on the Midland division into Putnam, the steam and trolley timetables allow only a minute or two to catch a south bound car: so If the train happens to be a little late the passengers for near- by towns to the south are obliged to ait an hour for a car. The commit- ! tee will endeavor to secure the agree- { ment of the trolley ecompany to hold | for ten minutes at the Putnam station | such cars as would permit home-bound patrons to connect if the arrangements can be secured. PARK FOR $100. Town May Secure Old Furnace and Environment at Bargain Rates. If the citizens of Killingly want a | beautiful woodland park of exceptional | natural beauty, one is to be had at a real bargain sale price. It is not less a place than the Old Furnace grounds, | with the poetic brook and silvery wa- terfall tucked away in a pretty stretch of woods among the rugged hills just east of Danlelson. William K. Pike owns the tract, which contains about eight acres, and he is offering it for the | purpose mentioned for just an even { hundred dollars. The matter has been referred by the board of trade to its | park improvements committee, of [fwhich Dr. Rienzi Robinson is chair- man. It is understood that three more acres adjolring can be secured for lit- tle or nothing from the Wood estate, | making a total arean of about eleven acres for a pprk. A plan has been syg- gested whereby one hundred men be secured to donate one dollar each to- wards purchasing the tract. For years and years the Old FFurnace has been a favorite place for picnic parties, an- | nual church dinners and various other | outings. Mail Routes Let.

Charles Miller, William Newman and C. Adelard Depres Held for Bradley Burglaries—Henry Morse Sent to Jail—Lincoln Honored—8ocial and Personal News. Charles Miller, Willlam Newman and Adelard Dupres, charged with complicity in the recent breaking and entering of the George L. Bradley res- idence at Pomfret recently, were ar- raigned before Justice John H. Lar- ned at Pomfret Thursday morning. Miller pleaded guilty and was bound over to the superior court under bonds of $500 which he was unable to fur- nieh; he was committed to Brookiyn Jail. Newman, who is Miller's pal, was ar- rested late Wednesday evening in a shanty used by Italians, who are en- gaged in construction work on a dam near Cotton’s bridge in the town of Pomfret. Newman, who is in the neighborhood of 50 years of age, claims Boston as his home. He has bdeen working at the dam for about a week. He pleaded not gullty, but probable cause was found for holding him, and his bond was fixed at $600, in default of which we hent to jail Adelard Dupres glso pleaded not guilty, but he was also held. His bond, fixed at $600, was supplled by P M. Leclaire of Putnam, and the prisoner was released. Miller told the officers that all the breaks in which he figured were com- mitted in the day time. On his first break he, found keys that made en- trgnce easy for his later visits. fller denies that he entered the place more than three times and the evidence is such as to indicate that the handsome residence has been preyed upon by more than one gang of thieves; In fact, this is positively established, as Willlam Lee, now in jail at Brooklyn, is held on his con- fession of having robbed the place.
