RAW HANDS,

 Cured by Cuticura.

My hands continued to grow worse until the fall, when consulted medical advice and used many remedies to no purpose Instead of getting better they rapidly grew worse, being mass of watery, fostering, fiesh very offensive and moving. Whenever a part would heal up it would be subject to the most violent itching and immedi. ately break out worse than before. Little watery spots then appeared on my finger joints, and fes- tering would spread over large surface. In this condition began the use of the Cuticura Reme- dies. In one weeks time my hands were almost well and in a short time entirely cured.

Court NOteR.

The intention of the parties interested ill the famous Kendrick vs. Ken6rick suit is to keep the facts of the case from the public, and the preliminary hearing is being held be- fore ex-Judge Morris as a committee of the Superior court, and reporters are excluded. Mrs. Greene Kendrick, formerly May B. Nash, asserts that her husband deceived her even before they stood at the altar. She tes- tifed that before she became the Mayors bride Greene Kendrick came to woo her and among the inducements he offered was that he was possessed of worldly goods and estate, which she now asserts was worth $30, ,0e0, and that when she became his bride he rep resented to her that he owned this property. The plaintiff then said that at this time ex-Mayor Kendrick had already transferred the property to his mother. The records were introduced to show this. Two witnesses were heard yes terday, the plaintiff and her father. She as serts that there was deception on her hus- bands part and that his conveyance of his property at this time was a fraudulent one. E1- Mayor Hendricks brother in Chicago will be called to testify in the case by both de- fense and plaintiff, it is said. On account of funeral in the family of one of the coun- sel the hearing was adjourned at noon yes terday.

 House-A Division Avoided The
 House Does a Good Days Work
 Prospects of FiRaI Adjournment
 This Week-The Secret Ballet Bt1l-
 Woman SuGrage-Many Important
 Bills Passed.
 HARTFORD, April 6, 1886. Special to the JOURNAL AND COURIER.
 At the opening of the House this morning there were good many empty chairs, and had there been a division it would have re- vealed no quorum and another adjournment at the beginning of the days business, as was the case on Friday, would have been the re- suit This was avoided, however, by taking up only the less important bills, which occu- pied the attention of the members until the noon trains began to arrive, when the House filled up and business proceeded with out fear of a forced adjournment. The result has been that the day has been a most fruitful one, so far as reducing the bills on the calen- day is concerned. The five minute rule was adopted early in the day, and this cut the speeches down to a reasonable limit, which accounts for the good days work accom- plished. When the House adjourned only el0f0H DlllS were 1o1G Ou Guo CdACuud1, and as there gre only two or three more to be added, the conditions are certainly fla vorable for a final adjournment on Friday of this week. It is possible, however, that should all the bills be disposed of this week, an adjournment may be taken until Wed nesday or Thursday ot next week to give the Governor ample time to consider the bills passed in the closing hours of the session be- fore afixing his signature to them.
 The committees having practically com pleted their labors, the 'slist of committee hearings will be no longer issued. This plan of giving information was introduced this session for the first time and has been found very useful not only to members, but to their constituents having business with the legislature. The work of preparing these lists for the printers every day has been entrusted to MT. George D. Curtiss of the Hartford Times, and the work has been well and faithfully performed
 Following is a summary of the business transacted in the Senate and House to day:

EXTENT or SLAVERY.

Onacial Reports Regarding the Increase
and Decrease Of the Slave Traffic.
A parliamentary blue-book con-
tanning correspondence with British
representatives and agents abroad and
reports from naval officers relative to
the slave trade in 1884-S5, has recently
been published by the English Govern
mcnt. The countries dealt with in the
book are Brazil, Egypt, Morocco, Per-
STA, Portugal, Turkey and Zanzibar.
The accounts from Brazil show that
both slavery and the sale of slaves were
greatly on the decrease. 1t was
reckoned that in April, 1884, the num-
Der of slaves was 100000, and this
was continually decreasing. chiefly by
means of emancipation or ransom. In
Egypt, as Sir. E. Barring informed Earl
Granville, up to the end of January,
18S4-the period in question appears to
begin with our occupation-the total
number emancipated was 1886. From
Morocco Sir J. H. Drummond Hay
sends very painful story. The mum.
Der of slave sales in the early part of
1884 actually trebled in Morocco, and
complaint was made that some of the
slaves were mutilated in barbarous
manner, from which numbers of them
persisted in horrible agony. The
authorities declared simply that the
: abolition of slavery could not be eff
fected. Some months later. however.
the Sultan put stop to the public sale
of slaves. On April IL, 1884, Sir J. H.
D. Hay informed Earl Granville that
with the exception of the French Minis
ter, no foreign diplomatic officers had
taken steps to prevent those under
their protection from holding or dealing
in slaves. Before the correspondence
is concluded we find that the Danish
and British agents have warned the
subjects of their respective countries
against the traffic. Complaint is made

MILITARY DRUNKENNESS.
Oficial Figures Given From an English
Standpoint.

Standpoint.
After showing, for many years in
succession, tendency to decrease,
military drunkenness has latterly taken
something of a change for the worse.
In 1872, thu year of which full details
are given. in the general annual return,
the total number of men fined was
26, Ill, the number of fines inflicted
1901. and the percentage of fines per
l 1000 men 281. From that time until
1880 steady and almost continuous
decrease went on, the percentage fall
ing to 225. In the following year,
however, there was rise to 243,
and this figure has been maintained
ever since. From the details given
it appears that the fining system does
not exercise much deterrent effect on
the "habitual drunkard'' class-that is,
those who are drunk four times or
more within twelve calendar months.
In 1884, the last year dealt with in the
table, LAB men were fined four times,
779 five times, $40 six times, 100 seven
times, So eight times, and 20 nine
times. No doubt, too, most of these
topers often escape undetected. so that
the figures do not give complete
picture of the hard drinking still UNI
fortunately so prevalent in the army.
1t seems open to question whether an
experiment should not be tried with
some other form of punishment than
fines, in cases where the latter method
has proven Intellectual as a deterrent.
The ''habitual drunkard" is not only a
bad character in himself, but his per-
nicious example exercises most in
furious effect among the younger SOL
diers. London Globe

Petri6ed Wood.

The petrifed wood which IL 50
abundant in the Territories of Arizona,
Wyoming and the Rocky Mountain
regions, is rapidly becoming utilized
by the practical American. In San
Francisco there is now factory for
cutting and polishing these petrifica-
tions ipto mantel-pieces, tiles, tablets,
and other architectural parts for which
marble or slate is commonly used.
Petrified wood is said TO be susceptible
of . finer polish than marble, or even
onyx, the latter of which it is driving
from the market. The raw material
employed comes mostly from the forests
of petrified wood along the line of the
Atlantic & Pacific Railway. Several
other companies have been formed to
obtain concessions of different portions
of these forests. Biologists will regret
the destruction of such interesting
primeval remains, and some steps ought
to be taken to preserve certain tracts in
their original ate.-Engineertng.
