POLICE COURT JUDGES.
Why the Present system of Electin&
 Them is Nnt Right


 Them Is Not Right.
 The possibilities that may arise under the present system of electlmg police court judges. says the Hartford corre- spondent of the New Haven Register, may be illustrated when it is known that there is republican legislature, and if there happens to be two or three repub- lican representatives from New Haven county these representatives will have the power to dictate who shall be the judges in New Haven, Waterbury and Meriden.
 Thus, if the town of Prospect elected a republican representative and he hap pened to be the only republican elected in the county this year, he would have the power of saying who should be judge and assistant judge of the various city courts of New Haven county, and also judges of the court of common pleas.
 So unjust is the system that 1t has al ready created considerable discontent in Hartford county, especially over the recent appointment of judge of the Hartford police court, and there IS al ready a movement on foot to invest the appointment of police judges and assist ant judges with the mayor. subject to the approval of the board of aldermen.
 This, it is expected, would insure the appointment of men from the cities over whose courts they are to preside, and 1t would also insure more responsibility than at present, where the appointment is made by men who know little or noth- ing about the necessities of police court or of the men who are qualified to hold these positions.

Indian Horsemanship.

Given horse, a man animated by the reckless daring likely to come of wild, free life, and The Centaur of ancient fable may be fairly realized. A core spondent of the Omaha Herald, having visited an Arapahoe camp, gives the fol lowing account of an Indian drill, or dered for his amusement:
 Fifty fine looking young men, mounted upon ponies, drew up before the tents. At signal from the chief they began their evolutions, with loud yell
 In moment they disappeared over a neighboring hill. Then there suddenly rose mighty trampling of horses feet, and they swept past again, so compact that 1 only saw ball made of horses and men.
 Splitting in two, one body swept to the right and another to the left, and again they disappeared. Presently they charged each other in solid lines, and while the spectator waited breathlessly for the shock of collision, the files skillfully opened to the right and left, and the lines passed through the intervals with out touching.
 Now came the moment for displaying individual horsemanship. Some of the riders approached, each lying so close to his pony's back that nothing but the horse could be seen. Others stood erect upon their animals backs. Some hung to the horse by one foot and one hand, so that their bodies were completely pro- tected by those of the ponies.
 These young warriors also threw ob- jects upon the ground, and picked them up at full gallop, and drew bows and shot arrows from beneath the horses necks. Some of the men exchanged horses while riding.
 | Again, man would fall from his horse, as if wounded, and two others, ! riding up beside him, would take him by an arm and leg, swing him between their horses, and carry him off. This exhibition lasted nearly two hours, and, at it's close, men and horses were completely exhausted. All that evening the human performers lay in their lodges, while the Indian women brought them food, bathed their limbs l and tombed their hair.

 NAUGATUCK NEWS.
THE OLD TOWN CEMETERY.

A petition is being circulated among the citizens of the town to have the old town cemetery taken care of and to have 8 committee appointed to take charge of it. Early last June the question of pro- viding more school accommodations for the children brought out the advisabll- ity of removing the bodies from the old cemetery to the new one recently pre- scented to the town by B. B. Futile and for the accommodation of children liv- ing on the west side. This plan had such bearing on the public that at school meeting held later it was voted to instruct the town to apply to the legis- lature of 1889 for permission to remove the bodies from the old cemetery to the new one. This caused considerable agi- tation among people whose ancestors are laid to rest there, but nothing was done until the present, as they fear the town will petition for the removal of the re- mains. The old cemetery dates its his tory from 1709, when a deed of the land was given to the town of Naugatuck Many of the old residents remember when it was beautifully laid out, dotted with shady trees and modest head stones. There have been no interments there ln 50 years and Naugatuck has grown so rapidly that the cemetery is now in the center of the town. It is very probable that the petition will meet with favor by 8 large nnmber of people, while others believe that the growtlrof the town de- mands better school accommodations. Representative Darlington has not yet a petition to present to the legislature.
 Michael Leary, one of Naugatuck' s oldest citizens, is very low with rheuma- tism of the heart and his death is mo- mentarily expected.
 Richard Freeman contemplates erect ing another large block, facing the Wool en mill. The building will be three sto- ries in height and will be used for stores and tenements.

WATERBURY TO NEW LONDON.
Through Passenger Trains to be Put
 On Next Summer.

On Next Summer.
 Arrangements are being made by the officials of the Consolidated road for an innovation during the coming summer that will greatly accommodate the peo- pie residing in Naugatuck valley who wish to visit the shore. The plan is to run trains direct from Waterbury to New London and return via the Y at the Naugatuck junction.
 Heretofore this spur track. built about a year and a half age. has been used only to facilitate the transportation of freight from the New York division to the Naug- atuck and by the pay car. There has been considerable talk about using it for regular passenger travel, but the plan will be put in operation for the first time during May or June next.
 According to the present plan. at least two trains will be run from Waterbury and New London daily, one in the morning and one in the afternoon This will give the Naugatuck valley residents an opportunity to spend the day at any of the popular resorts along the Shore Line division, and return tt their homes in the evening, or to spend the evening at the shore and return tt business the next morning, if necessary.

Good Advice.
l the street car

On the street car
 First Lady-"Going to buy piano, are youT
 Second Lady-'Yes, and can hardly make up my mind which kind to get"
 First Lady-"Well, if you listen to those piano men they will make you believe anything, but my experience has been that if you want a piano for actual use and not for show only, the Shonin- ger piano is the best. I have had my Shoninger piano in use for five years and it is as good as new to-day. My cousin, Mrs Ford, thought she had a splendid high-priced piano, but the tone got so wiry that she sent it to an auction room and bought Shoninger instead. I could tell you of ever so many more who have bought Shoninger's pianos, and if you get one you will never want to change it"
 Second Lady-'I have heard the Shoninger pianos very highly spoken of before. think I will take your advice. By the way, where is their warerooms.
 First Lady-'I don't remember. Oh, yes 161 Bank street."
 Second Lady-'"Thanks."

X Drunken Mans Folly.

Thomas Spineral, a lineman en- ployed by the Long Distance Telephone company, lies at the point of death in the Bridgeport hospital, the victim of his own recklessness and folly. Spineral was working with a gang of men string ing wires on Housatonic avenue, Bridge port, and in consequence of frequent visits to neighboring saloon became intoxicated. Thinking to have some fun at Spineral's expense, some of the workmen offered him ten cents if he would climb to the top of pole over 90 feet high. After several intellectual att tempts Spineral succeeded in climbing to about 20 feet from the top, when he fell to the ground, distance of 65 feet. When picked up Spineral was uncon- scious and taken to the hospital, where it was stated yesterday evening that his recovery was doubtful. The injured man belongs in Worcester, Mass.
