HEIRESS A PRIVATE SECRE TARY. Ansonia, Conn., January 1 5. MissElise Farrel. whose father is worth from $20,000, to 25,s 000,000, drew her first pay as a working girl on Thursday. She grew tired of a life of ease and determined to earn a living. Her father is the Hon. Franklin Farrel, head of the Farrel Foun dry and Machine Company, and an owner of several copper .nines in the West. She is a graduate ofOgontz. She is also an excellent whip, and is often seen (hiving her big hay horse to a light rubber-tired runabout in the city streets and on coun trv roads. Recently the place of private secretary to Ml. Farrel became vacant, and she applied for it. She was told that it needed a stenographer and typewriter, so she attended a business college in New Haven, mastered short hand quickly, and got the job She attends to her business closely, being at her desk at 8 o'clock every morning, opening the mail and assorting it, receiv ing the answers to the letters from dictation, copying them on her typewriter, and sending them out. She declines all in vitations of a social nature which interfere with her work, and is an excellent secretary. A Monster Devil Fish Destroying its victim, is a type of Constipation.

BILLIONS OF STORED EGGS One of the most peculiar situ ations in regard to the egg sup ply ever known exists iu th United States to day. The situ atiou is the result ol storing eggs iu an attempt to control the market. There are liable to be two results. One is that the people of the country will cold-storage eggs foisted upon hem as the the newly laid pro duct. The other is that the peos pie who attempted to "corner" the market will suffer heavy losses. The beginning of the "corner ing" effort dates back to last Summer. At that time, it is said, the Chicago packers evol ved the scheme of buying up all the eggs that could possibly be gathered together and storing them until the supply became scarce. As is usual in schemes, it was anticipated that the seal city would send the price sky high. Then the stored eggs were to be unloaded upon the market and a fortune was to be made for the packers. It is figured that 7,000,000 cases, each case containing thirty doz en eggs, were stored aw a). To the industrious hen, whose ca pacity is one egg a day, this is an exceedingly large amount. The scheme to control the market fell through. Then was no call for the stored eggs and the packers began to lie awake o' nights thinking. At present the heus art beginning to lay fresh eggs. These art coming into the market and no one wants the stored eggs. A little figureing will show how enormous the loss will be. There are 7,000,000 cases of ejrgs, or 210,000,000 dozen, stored throughout the country. These were bought np at 15 cents a dozen. The present price of eggs a dozen outside of Cleve land is on an average four cents less a dozen than the price at Which the stored eg:s were bought. This will mean a loss of about $8,400,000 to the pack ers. It is conjectured that there are 6,000 cases of the stored eggs in this city. The loss here will also be very large. It is reported that the packers in this vicinity have a way out r ip,rtma. It is said that 01 tm- next Summer, when eggs are shipped here from outlviug towns, the stored eggs will be mixed with fresh ones and Jhat in that way the old producrail be sold to the unsuspecting public-Cleveland Plain beak er.

Detectives returning late to night announce the arrest in Louisville on warrants of J. C. Brooks and H. H. Henderson, in connection with the recent attachments if insurance com panies on the goods of VV. W. Thomas, of the People's Tea, Spice and Baking Powder Com pauy, of this city. Thomas secured $65,000 on a claim of $96,000 in 1895 and re cently was burned out again Pending adjustment of the later losses he was sued to recover what had previously been paid by the insurance companies, and attachments were issued. The insurance companies set up the claim in court that goods had been removed before the fire. Brooks is said to be related to Thomas and was his billing clerk. Henderson was also em- ployed by the company, and is the son of a prominent banker at Manchester, Ohio. Detec tives have been tracing the two men for mouths, and say they found them in a shanty boat with over $1,000 worth of tea, spices, coffee, etc., in it, and found that they had been doing business all the way down the river. A Bewildered Havana Porter. A Tiavana letter says : With 0 all the superficial gallantry to ward the fair sex with which the Cuban and the Spanish are en dowed, there is mixed a peculiar disregard and mistrust which, to say the least, is very strange to American or English ideas This very week an American family had an experience which show ed in a humorous way both the Spaniard's mistrust of women and his own sense of loyalty to his employer. When the house hold was first established in Ha vana the good house wife, to the mind ot the deep chested Span porter, was an utter nonentity. When she ordered tea of an after noon the poiter ran to her bus band to see if she might have it and when one day she sent him for a bottle of cognac his report to the husband was ot such a character that the latter once and for all established his wife's place in household matters so far as that porter was concerned. He was informed that she was absolute mistress of internal af fairs and that if the husband were annoyed any more, some one would be looking for a job. This settled it and the porter acs quiesced in the new order of things, but still that mistrust of femininity lingered. There was a little informal dinner, and the mother of the household asked her daughter to write to Captain So-and so, in viting him to attend. This the young woman of approximately twenty summers did and, hav ing addresed the note, carried it to the porter to be delivered. He sagely took it without a word, and as soon as the senorita's back was turned he slipped in to see her mother, holding the letter giugeily in his hand. He was dreadfully embarrassed, but he did not hesitate to ask if the young woman was sending this note to the gallant captain with her mothers knowledge and con sent. There wasn't going to be any clandestine correspondence going on about that house if he could help it, and he really seem ed disappointed when he was ordered to do as lie was told and ask no questions. He is still holding iiis place, but on more offence against the dignity of womankind is likely to consign him to the rank of Havana's un employed. It is said that the Virginia Legislature will pass a Jim Crow Car law similar to that we now have in North Carolina. Happy is the bride the sun shines on if she isn't afraid of freckles.

Great excitement prevails among the farmers in North Carolina, near the Virginia bor der, over the discovery of large deposits of copper ore. Louis N. White, of Colorado, for four years mining inspector in that State, is in the city after a visit to VirgKana, N. C, near where some of the ore-beds have been found. "I vras greatly surprised," said Mr. White to a Times res porter. "I had no idea there could be such rich copper fields in that part of the country. While there has been very little development, and the work has been of the most crude charac ter, the results are astonishing. "The farmers who have been raising corn and tobacco on the rocky land for 200 years have finally learned of the presence of the ore deposits. They are making investigations on their own account with negro labor, and the results have been such that one of the agriculturalists refused $60,000 lor a farm of 1C0 acres. "Speculators are overrunning the country buying options right and lei t. The purchasers must treat directly with the owner of the laud. "I have been mining for years and it would not surprise me if very remarkable results were forthcoming in the North Caro lina copper fields ' New York Times. How's This?

Will there he a son0, hird lelt in the country another year ? Icok at the milliners' openings, and answer the question for your selves The slaughter of the song birds is something appall ing. They are killed, not by the hundred, nor by the thous and, but by the million. M ill i. ons of skins are sold every year to the millinery trade. While feeding its young, each bird will destroy hundreds of insects every day ; - and all through the summer they are busily at work feeding upon the grubs and worms that de vour the grain and fruit and foliage of trees. When famine comes upon the land, it will be no "mysterious dispensation ot God." It will be the result of this feariul sacrifice ol bird life. Every woman with a woman's heart in her breast should take a firm stand in this matter. She would say : "I will not wear the plumage, I blush to think I have ever done so.'' It may be too late already to s?ve ourselves from the consequences of our sin, but at least we can leave such a supply of breasts and dead birds on hand that the few live birds remaining next sea sou will not have to be murdered to satisfy the blood-thirsty de mand of this cruel fashion.
