THREE TRAMPs BOUND OVER.

Arrested for Begging From Pedes-
 trians In the Brooklyn District Two Bad Boys Before The Court.
 James Moore of New Haven, John Martin of Holyoke and Frank McGerritt of Chicopee were this morning bound over to the superior court under bonds of S2O0 each for begging money about the street. Moore was arrested by Special Officer Fitzgerald near the Bir- mingham street crossing of the Nauga- tuck road early last evening. He ac- turning from work and with more force than elegance said he wanted ten cents. The fellow had been drinking and Officer Fitzgerald brought him in. This morn ing Moore said he was stable hand and had arrived from Hartford via New England freight train yesterday after noon. He admitted having asked sever- al people for money. Martin and Nc Gerritt were arrested about 10 o'clock last night in a fifteen cent lodging house near the Brooklyn bridge. They had | ming collecting beer in an oyster can and complaint was made at the headquarters that they were begging from pedestrians passing along Bank street. McGerritt, who is only a seventeen year old boy, said he had tramped from Holyoke look ing for work. Martin had broken right arm which he said was caused by a fall from a ladder in Holyoke. He was painter by occupation. He claimed to have money in his pocket and vigorous ly denied being a tramp. Judge Brad street thought otherwise, however, and held the three for the action of the su- perior court.
 Frank Phelan, an incorrigible boy of fifteen, was committed to the Reform school during his minority. On April 4 Phelan was brought before the court and warned to do better. Since that time he has been away from home many nights and could not be controlled by his mother. When asked by Judge Brad street why he did not work he said he thought the law wouldn't allow boy tC work until he was sixteen.
 Warren F. Lancaster a 13-year-olC boy, was on last Friday committed tC the county home at New Haven by Judge Cowell. The place was:too smal for him and he was back in Waterbury Tuesday afternoon. Officer Dodds ar rested the boy yesterday and this morn ing at the urgent request of his father Lancaster was given one more chance t( do better.

LUMINOUS INSECTS.
How They Are Robbed of Their Radiance
 and Utilized by Birds.

How They Are Robbed of Their Radiance
 and Utilized by Birds.
 Essential to man as cosmopolite, his earthly pre- -eminence rests on the exclusive use of fire, says the New York Ledger. Withholding it from brutes was essential to his rule over them. Did they possess the power to elicit it, enraged by his tyranny, they would set and keep the world in flames. His superiority would wane, and his tenure on earth be uncertain and inse- cure. To prevent this, special provision has been made Animals fly from freq dread of it is implanted in their natures, Those that prey in the night arc compelled by 8 law of their organization to avoid it 1; for when dazzled by the blaze of torch, the contraction of their pupils amounts in some species to blindness, and in all the sight is affected.
 Hence, though many of the lower tribes surpass man in physical energies, speed, flight, duration of life, minuteness and mag nltude of their works,shappily none can strike fire, nor fan it into flame. Still lights in tho night were not withheld wholly from the lower tribes. For those that required them, special Illuminating element was provided. There are some that surpass in numbers the human species, of which every individual carries torch that rivals in brillance the best of our candles, the ma terials for which they have the power to secrete. Glow-Worms and fire-f1ies are fa- miliar examples. In tropical clmes various luminous insects are attached to female head-dresses. They are used also as lamps. we have read fine print in a dark room by the light of two Long Island fre-tiies in a tumbler But man was not the first to rob | these living gems of their liberty and radi. ance There are birds that seize and sus- pend them as chandeliers for their dwell. ings. The bottle -nested sparrow, or baya, | is one of the kidnapers. Its nest is closely woven like cloth in the form of an inverted bottle, with the entrance at the orifice ot the neck. It is divided inside into cham. | bers. profoundly dark till lit up by fire flies caught alive, and mercilessly fixed to the walls or ceiling with pieces of wet clay for econces.

COMPRISING HIS CRIME.

X Prominent Business Man Surren-
 ders Himself Forger.
 Charles E. Woodruff, of New Britain has confessed the commission of forger. ies aggregating $40,000.
 Woodruff has been an energetic busi ness man for a number of years. He started three newspapers, the New Bri tain Herald, Middletown Herald and Hartford Herald, but sold them out, was admitted to the bar, but practiced only a short time, and went into the heavy real estate operations. He is believed to have sunk his own money and thai fraudulently obtained ill this way. The forgeries were very skillful anc have been going on for several years His plan was to make his own note anC forge the endorsement. No suspicion was aroused until few days ago, wher bank officer noticed that an endorse ment was that of a man whom he knew to have been in California at the time when the endorsement would appear tt have been made. Woodruff said i would all be explained, but subsequent. confessed. He gave himself up. Woodruff was brought before Justice Coats this morning and bound over t' the superior court in S12,0O0 bonds ol the charge of forgery. Up to o'cloci he was unable to obtain bonds, but it l probable that his father will give tn required bond.

WHEN HE WAS "JlM."
A Tenliniscenco of James WhitcOmE
 Riley's Sign-Paintins Days.

A "Reminiscences of James WhitcOmb
 Rney's Sign-Paintin. Days.
 lhave wondered good many times, writes s. B. McManus in the Warsaw Qnd.) Times, how many people in Warsaw remember when James Whitcomb Riley was resident for time, of that place? l have forgotten how long he was there, and it is more than probable in writing this am, figuratively. ''carrying coals to Newcastle,'' repeating something better known to others than my self. But there is one little incident of his SO journ there that like to think of. It IS this It was in the spring of 1S73-when was reading medicine there and Riley was in town filling an engagement or en engagements. painting window-slgns. He was handy at this sort of thing, and did some nice jobs. Later with very delft and cunning hand. he made drawings for his poems, which were as full of artistic strength and quaint ness as his ''Old Swimmin' Hole" is full ot poetry About this time the Indianian printed some little things of mine-pict- uresquely little, some of them, from lit erary standpoint. But out of charity, or to encourage me, or to get rid Of mo, the rhymes were printed, and one day Riley and 1 were talking about them while he was painting sign of the Boss jewelry store, near Mir. Wynant's drug store. In 8 mild, friendly way, he was trifle envious 
 posed beside him while he painted the 'RY' in jewelry, as a person whose literary standing was assured. When he had made 8 marine blue period, he took off his apron and we went over to the Wright House to- gether to see little bit of rhyme which he said he had there. He wanted my opinion and criticism on it, and as had more opin ion and criticism to give than any thing | else, I was willing to bestow it even on g sign n-painter. Riley read the poem. It was | called ''The Argonaut," and, inexperienced | as was, knew that only poet and 6 genius could have written it. I was un stinted in my praise, and knew the Hoosiel | poet was born-very much born, and was only waiting the recognition of the public which in a few years it so magni6cently and munihcently gave. After this epi | Sode we became warm friends, anG an abiding and deep-rooted friendship was the result. I have met hin since then, and have read about all he has ever written, but nothing ever pleased me as much-no ..'reading" have ever heard Of his-pleased me as well as that little poem, "The Argonaut," read one raw spring day, up in a cold room, by curtain less window, in the Wright House block.

 HARTFORD. April 26.-In the house this morning substitute for house bill No 223, an act to authorize the city of Waterbury to issue water bonds as re- ported in these, columns few days ago, was passed after being amended so as to read: ''So they shall not draw more than per cent"
 The bill was also passed after being amended so as to read 'Nor more than B per cent" which authorizes the city of Waterbury to issue paving bonds.
 Yesterday afternoon the resolution re- garding the prohibition constitutional amendment came back from the senate where it had passed the day before. After a long dispute the motion to re- cede and concur wss passed by vote of 133 to 63 one more than the necessary two-thirds vote. This submits the ques- tion to the people who will vote on it at the next state election. There is a con- stitutional question involved whether the house had right to take this action and the leaping lawyers in the house are of the opinion that it did not.

A Needles Protracted Journey.

Nineteen years ago this month woman residing at Kingston, N. Y., accidentally pushed needle into her breast. She had been sewing on fine muslin, and she pushed the point of the needle through the lapel of her basque, while she inquired into the cause of a quarrel between two children who were playing near by. In a paroxysm of tears the younger child threw herself into the arms of the lady, and, as she did so, the needle was pushed so far out of sight that only the eye was visible. A quick movement to rescue it resulted in an entire disappearance of the fine bit of ateel. No inconvenience was experienced, and the incident was entirely for gotten. A few evenings ago the woman, who had car ried the needle about her for so many years, was awakened out of a sound sleep by peculiar pricking sensation in the throat. Rising up in bed, she began to cough The pricking became more severe, but the sharp substance appeared to be rising in her throat. Thrusting her fingers down as far as possible, she caught hold ot an object and drew it out. It was the needle that had been journeying about un. der the surface for nlneteea years.

A DENTISTS ADVICE.
<artar Not so Harmful to the Teeth ns

Not so Hafm1ui tO tuo 4oCtA eso
 tho Use of Silk Floss.
 q can tell you" said dentist to a New York Star reporter, ttsomething that will be worth S25 to you before you die, and which would be worth the same amount to every other man in New York City who en- ploys dentist, if he knew it" The manipulator of the forceps and mal- let was talking to a newspaper man who had been plying his trade of interlocutor While reclining in the sntst's chair.
 "You asked me, just now, when 1 was cleaning your teeth, before filling them, if l did not use dental silk foss-or, as we dentists call it, 'tape'-to cleanse the 1n- terstces between your teeth l have no doubt but that you will say that all the other dentists you have resorted to used 1t, and have no doubt that they recommended | you to buy slxein of the infamous stuff and use it every day. .Now, to tell you the truth, Iwould rather see a friend of mine not clean his teeth at | all than see him employ the tape. When | your dentist recommends you to use 1t he 1 explains, suppose, to you that its acton | prevents the accumulation of tartar be- | tween the teeth. Undoubtedly it does. | ''But, in the first place, the deposit ot | tartar upon the surface of the teeth is not nearly as great an evil as many dentists try to make their patients believe it to be. | | the teeth become covered with tartar is not because it produces carries, but because 1t teudS to loosen the teeth.
 | ''The tartar grows down toward the gums, and if it is neglected will in time cover them, pushing away the gums from the teeth, and Tn that way, you see, 1t makes them loose. So, after all, the tartar is only so far hurtful as it tends to mako the teeth | insecure.
 'Now, curiously enough, the silk floss | which you have been recommended to use has, in nine cases out of ten, exactly the same effect-it loosens the teeth. Indeed | it is so dangerous that, although 1t Is more convenient to use it than to employ very thin instrument to remove the tartar from between the teeth, yet only use the floss when the patients teeth are unusually fal apart.
 'sOur trade, like other trades, is full o1 tricks, and when your dentist advises you to use tape between your teeth he is either making you the victim of one of the tricks of the trade, or else he is an ignorant ass."
 At this stage of the conversation the den
 tist said, Five dollars, please" and the ip
 teryiew ended.

He VIII Probably Go to wilkesbarre
 to Play.
 Bob Petit received telegram We'd nesday night from President Bogart of the Wilkesbarre club of the Atlantic league, making him a good offer and asking him to join the club in time for to-morrow's game. Bob left for Wilkes barre on the 11:O6 train yesterday. He will get as much money there as he did at Chicago. Bob was playing at Wilkes barre when the Chicagos signed him.
 Bob takes his release in philosophical manner. saying that it is money he is af- ter, and there is a chance to get more with a club like the Wilkesbarres than with the Chicagos. With the former a man might play for years at the same salary, when he is really worth more. Ii is not certain that Petit will go to Will kesbarre, for several other clubs are after him. He is prime favorite in that city and owns it while there, and then | again he is nearer home.
