A BRIDES EXPERIMENT.
How n Young Woman Is Alleged to Have
Had Dead Loads of Fun With q Car Fun
of Men.
IN. Y. Letter.1

IN. Y. Letter.1
I hold il to be truth constantly self
evident that man will defend a woman
against all men except himself. If you
haven't noticed it already you have only &c
look for 1t an hour or so in any place OF
mixture of the sexes. Clap your eyes on q
pretty woman without a male escort, and
two phenomena will become obvious.
Firstly, there will be large amount OF
open and covert staring at her, TO all OF
which her obliviousness is of course only
assumed. Secondly, IL one of the starers
happens to realize that othess are at the
same game, he will manifest plainly his
disgust at such treatment of an unpro-
tected beauty, utterly ignorant OF his own
offense A husband and wife got into
street car. The man was somewhat dudish
in dress. The woman was under twenty,
and as pretty as nature and art
are in the habit of combining 10 produce.
They were chatting on the very subject
that have introduced.
"Percival, dear" said she, "I will prove
10 you that am right, and take only ter
minutes to do it, 4 you'll promise not &c
get angry about it,"
herself up, as though the husband sitting
beside her was an entire stranger, and
waited for the car 10 Hll with passengers
at Union Square.
Now" she whispered behind her fan.

The law will have 70 be delicately and

il viii require considerable search among
the statutes and common law to secure
material which viii enable him to define
the ofense. It is a peculiar crime to
cover. and TO draft statute which will

task. Some OF the police believe that the

The Craziest Connecticut Stories.

The faithful reader of the great metropol- itan dailies never sees in them quotation from the New York correspondence of any provincial" journal, unless it happens to be puff of some favorite or slap at some vic tim. It is true that vast amount of rub bish is unloaded by New York letters on con- fding country editors. The letter writer who talked with Jay Gould yesterday and conversed with Vanderbilt the day before his death, and who begins every sentence with
 CT" and represents himself as rather the
 center of the city's attractions, takes better
 in the back towns than in New York. His
 genids is that of the bunco steerer misap
 piled and the New Workers show sense in
 letting him alone But there are also a number
 of New York correspondents who tell great
 deal that really is of interest and value.
 Their fate is the same.
 And yet contrast metropolitan journalism
 with that of the modest provinces. There
 seems to be the very opposite notion abroad in Connecticut from that which rules in New
 York The tendency here is to cut from all the New York papers and reprint whatever
 correspondence they have from this State.
 Instead of ignoring it on the theory that eith- CT it is worthless or else is some thing they should have had already, many of the State papers grab it at once, as if the bare fact that they hadn't had it proved it to be news. The craziest story
 about Connecticut religion, Connecticut
 social life, Connecticut morals, Connecticut politics, or anything else in Connecticut | will find itself reprinted all over the State | if only it first appeared in New York | journal Often the same article, if printed 1 by one State paper, would be treated with 1 contempt by all the rest; but let it break 1 out in New York, and it runs over the State.
 In this way a deal of transformation is 1 spread broadcast among Connecti ut people. 1 Unfortunately our papers are seldom able at | the same time to capture and reprint credit l able and important and encouraging stories about people and affairs here, for such are not often sent to the New York papers. 1 News of that sort does not seem to be what they are after Now and then something l turns up which is no worse than malicious, | but oftener the Connecticut correspondence ranks as news because it is rank, not because 1 it is fact.
 l Something which has the sparkle of mal- l ice, the freedom of falsehood and the inter l est of invention is what seems most in de-
 mand The supply if not equal to the de- mand is certainly larger than it should be. l To print the most of such matter that ap- 1 pears is both to dishonor the State and dis l credit it's journalism. For ourselves, we be- ! Iieve that the Connecticut newspapers are l fully adequate to furnishing Connecticut | news to their readers, and that that which | none of the State papers think fit to give te I the public as original is equally unfit to give
 to them second hand.-Hartford Ceurant.

Is the Conveyance Void2

The answer of the Rev. John Synnott, of Bridgeport, disclosing as to the property con- veyed to him by the late Father Synnott, his uncle, has been filed, and sets forth that while receiving an education for the Catholic priesthood at St. Joseph's seminary at Troy four years previous to the death of the late rector, the latter told him of his intention to deed him his property. The answer further alleges that about a year before the late Father Synnott's death 8 third party in formed him as to being intrusted with the knowledge as to the place of deposit of cer- tain papers executed by the deceased clergy man. Rev. John Synnott, the day after his uncle's death, received these papers and filed them in the town clerks office to be record ed They conveyed to him all the real estate standing in the name of the late rector of St. Augustines church, the value of the properly being estimated at from $50,OOO to S100, 900.

PICKPOCK FITS.


 A Detective who Thinks Ladies
 Become Easily Excited Over Fears
 That Their Pockets Have Been
 Picked.
 ''It is very funny how many ladies there are who think they have had their pockets picked and rush to police headquarters for detec- tive to look for the thief, when in reality they have lost their pocketbook or left it home," said we'll known detective last even ing as he leaned back in his chair at police headquarters and took puff from his fra grant Havana. ''Why, during the past three or four days" continued the officer, Eve have had at least twenty women on just such calls and in nearly every case we have proven to the ladies' entire satisfaction that they had lost their money. An Irish lady came into the office the other day and in very excited manner said that someone had picked her pocket while she was shopping in one of the large dry goods stores on Chapel street. She, after some talking, cooled down, and said that she had been into eight stores, and all though she had not taken out her pockee, book once, she had, in each store, pulled out her handkerchief from the same pocket in AoeaAA that she had pulled the pocket book out with her handkerchief in the first store she had visited and although the pocketboek was found, she was hardly willing to believe that her pocket had not been picked. There was another case recently where woman walked nearl, four blocks with her hand-satchel open, anc during her walk she dropped her pocketbook on the sidewalk. A gentleman picked it up and when he returned it to he1 she was very indignant and ac cused the gentleman of picking he1 pocket Several similar cases were reported this Christmas week, but in reality, besides one woman having her pocket picked at the depot, heard of no other cases and this city has been very free from pickpockets during the holidays True, we have spotted one ol two, but they soon found we were on to then and they left the town" Just at this momen the patrol wagon was called out and the off cer threw away his half-fnished cigar ane catching up his coat started out with thu " wapon to make an arrest
