times wrecked every hope, were silent
and dumb. Tie was greeted everywhere
with acclaim, and after he was
sworn in and had entered upon
his duties gave justifying proofs
that he desired the confidence
Of his fellow-citizens by. summoning to his
Cabinet Jefferson, the head Of the Repub-
lcans. and Hamilton, the leader Of the
Fedoralists. AS Secretary OF State the
former preserved the neutrality and dig

As President Sparks said, when summing
up this first administration, "The nation

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-03-15
A VERY SEVERE SENTENCE
Because the Boy Refused to TeH His
 Chum,S Name


 Judge Pickett to-day gave what many thought sentence of uncalled-for se- verity when, in finding Daniel E, Tracy, 19 year old boy, guilty of taking a horse and carr. .ge without permission, he fined him $50 and costs-a penalty that will in all proba biiity keep young Tracy in jail for about there months and a half.
 The evidence showed that Tracy and another young man had taken the turn out from in front of % Crown street where it was hitched between 9 and 10 o'clock last evening. Both were under to Westville and abused the horse badly. Officer Gibson put them under arrest and drove into the city to the police headquarters. The horse was covered with lather, was foaming at the mouth aul trembling all over by reason of the nard usage it had been put to. The an- imal was very nervous, and while Off, | Ger Gibson was trying to quiet it one of the young men jumped out and made off as fast az he could.
 On the charge of breach of the peace Judge Pickett suspended judgment against young Tracy. The prisoner said that he came from Waterbury where he had respectable parents, that he would say nothing for fear they would hear of it. He was willing to take his punishment. He had been in New Haven a little over Week and had been staying on Water street. He claim ed that he had met another young man last night whose face he had known in Waterbury and had been persuaded by him to go to ride. The other boy took the team and drove the horse.
 Judge Pickett inquired who the other boy was, but Tracy still claimed that he did not know. He had only known him by the term of ''Doc." The judge gave him time to confer with Lawyer Twiss, who by the courts request, advised. In the end Tracy still refused to incriminate his companion, and Judge Pickett, say ing that the offense was an aggravated one to begin with but was more so now by reason of his falsifying, fined him $50 and S6.49 costs.-New Haven Regis. for

COUGHED UP X BULLET,

A War Veteran Wto Carried Lead
 In His Body for 25 Years.
 Theodore Jepson, a veteran of the late war, has just got rid of bullet which entered his body 25 years ago. Jepson joined the Twentieth Connecticut at Hartford, as a private On July 20, 1864, the battle of Peach Tree Creek was fought. It was in this battle that Jep- son received the wounds which kept him in the hospital until the close of the war. He was wounded three times in this engagement, twice in the right leg and once in the back part of the neck. The doctors were unable to remove it and in year it slipped down on to his shoulder.
 About five weeks ago Jepson was taken with congestive chill and vom- ited violently. He was taken to the hospital, where it was found that the bullet had fallen from the shoulder to the lung. Soon after arriving at the hospital he was seized with vi )lent fit of vomiting during which he dislodged the bullet.
 | It weighed two ounces and is at pres ent at the Yale medical school with other curiosities. Jepson is in better health at present than at any time since the | war.

THE CIGARETTE BILL.
Passed by The House as Amend

Passed by The House as Amended
 by Representative O'Nein.
 There was an exceedingly lively de- bate on the cigarette bill which came be- fore the house yesterday. Several amendments were offered but were re- iected almost as soon as read. Repre- sentative O'Neill of this city finally offered an amendment which included all persons who shall give. sell or deliver tobacco to children. MT O'Neill argued at length in favor of the bill, saying that ci garette smoking was undermining the health of the rising generation. He l assumed that Mir Wolf had no boys or he wouldn't make any such statements as he did He said while the bill was before the judiciary committee all the | foremost educators of the state had appeared and begged them to pass the bill. He knew from personal exper- fence the offect cigarette smoking had on boys. He quoted statistics and said that ten out of eighteen young men ex. amined by doctors for admission tc West Point were rejected because they were affected with heart trouble produc- ed by the use of cigarettes. For the past | fifty years not student at Harvard col, l lege who has stood at the head of his class has used tobacco. The bill as amended was passed.

ADJUSTMENTS. A
Ernlinie.

The coming engagement of Mir Rudolph Aronson's comic opera company should enlist the warmest favor of all our pat r"ns of the higher grade of amusements, for aside from the fact that especial curiosity attaches to the great New York success ''Erminle" itself by reason of it's singularly long term of favor, this organ ization will be found interesting because of it's renutation for the artistic excel fence of its work. It is composed of the best actors and singers, and added to their individual abilities the fine stage presence of the company greatly en- hances the pleasure their performances afford. Not a detail is left uncared for in this splendidly conducted and admira- bly, constituted body of artists, and the success which invariably attend their tour is but a substantial tribute to the earnest efforts they have made and are still making to maintain comic opera in the high place it should occupy in the mimic art.

HEALTH OF THE STATE.
Abstract From the Monthly Report (
 the Board of Health.

Abstract From the Monthly Report of
 the Board of Health.
 The report of the state board of health shows that the public health in the month of February was better than the average for the same month last year. There were 922 deaths in the month, this being 30 more than in January; it was 115 less than in February of 1888, and 27 less than the average number of deaths in Fe 'ruary for the four years preceding the present.
 Of the cities in the state Bridgeport and Hartford have the highest death rate, 20.4; the rate in this city was 13.6.
 The deaths from zymotic diseases were 14.7 per cent of the total mortality, against 15.7 per cent in January. The terrible explosion of the Park hotel at Hartford increased materially the death rate of that city, but that dreadful fatal ity was no more preventible than are the deaths from typhoid fever every month
 Scarlet fever, diphtheria and pneumo mia have been more fatal than in Janu ary, and cerebro-spinal and typhoid fever have been less so.

A Quaint Down Fastener Who Found Ills
 Bonanza at Home.

Down near Cape Cod a spry little man jumped out of dilapidated buggy and ran into country store.

 "Wal. I'll see"
 Do you find the old silver business protitable?' asked young man who sat on q soap box, smoking.
 "Yes, yes" answered the spry man. sitting down socially and picking his teeth with Taunton herring.

 He had a curious collection-pieces of little thin, old fashioned teaspoons, quaint time blackened iewelry with deep chasings, old Spanish milled dol lars and pistareens; a heterogeneous heap of worn, battered, clipped and perforated coins: the lid of silver snuff box and the handle of gold headed cane.
 "Should think you'd be afraid of get ting robbed" suggested the admiring young man.

YheN Want More Pax

The police force in Now Britain is about one-third what it is in Waterbury though the town is nearly as large, thus requiring the police here to do more work and yet receive less pay. Surely the service of a policeman to this town is worth as much as one in Waterbury and especially when they have to do more work. New Britain News
