The Military Course at Yale.

Lieut. Charles A. Totten has made to
the adjutant general of the United
work at the Sheffield Scientific school.
He says that there has been no practical
instruction in military engineering be-
cause the students were already familiar
with the instruments and methods en-
ployed in civil engineering reconnois-
sance. 1t was not thought advisable to
institute compulsory military drill last
year as the time was not yet ripe for it.
When the military movement has grown
in popular favor, however. compulsory
drill will be introduced, at least in the
freshman class.

FORGERY AND ROBBERY.
A Check of New Haven Firm Stolen
From Letter..

n Cneck OF u Now IthNSh
From n Letter.
DANBURY, July 24.-The theft of a
$500 check came to light to-day, when
Captain Heating, who has been at work
on the case, found at the mouth of the
catch basin at Main and Franklin streets,
a broken envelope addressed to j. NJ.
Rumble, clerk of the street committee,
containing a bid for the paving contract
recently offered from Conner Brothers
of New Haven. The letter had been
posted under a special delivery stamp.
Mr. Rumble was notified last week by
the New Haven firm that they had put
in bid and enclosed with it certified
check for $500. The special delivery book
at the post office shows that the letter
was delivered and regularly signed. Mr.
Rumble pronounced the signature for
gerry and said that he had received on
such letter. Captain Heating says that
there is similarity between the signature
in the book and the handwriting of the
young man to whom the letter is said to
have been given for delivery.
The messenger boy who carried the
message and returned with vouchers,
was arrested this morning. He admitted
that he himself signed the voucher and
explained the loss of the letter in this
way. He said that while on the way to
Rundles he became involved in a quar-
rel with a colored boy and the letter be
come torn. He was ashamed to deliver
it and tore it into small pieces. Only
pieces of the envelope were found where
he said he threw the letter. The boys
story is not believed.

Nine-Year Old Prisoner.

Judge Hubbard of Wallingford and "a
Nine-Year Old Prisoner.
Judge Hubbard of Wallingford rem
dered his decision in the case of Patsy
Layman, last evening, and after making
a complete review of the evidence pre-
sented by the state, discharged the boy,
giving as his reason that all the testi-
mony went to show that the johnson
boys death was the result of an accident,
and that there was nothing to show that
there was any criminal intent on the
part of the prisoner. The judge gave
the father of the boy some wholesome
advice regarding the care of his children
hereafter, and Johnnie Layman, the older
brother, received a merited reprimand
for his many lies told during the trial,
Judge Hubbard saying that, although
tional liar, he certainly was a chronic
liar,

An Interesting Decision BY Judge
Bennett or Hartford.

b5uuEGU
HARTFORD, July 24.-Judge Bennett
to-day rendered an important decision
Leon, brought by the liquor men of
this city to test the legality of the dis
closure law. Leon was committed to
Jail for ten days for contempt of court,
under this law. 1t appears that he made
a disclosure, but his story was not be-
lieved by Judge McConville, who COM
mitted Leon for contempt. Judge Ben
netti to-day ordered the prisoners dis
charge on the ground that the statute
it contempt. 1t also provides a penalty
for false disclosure and calls it perjury.
Leon made a disclosure and cannot be
held for contempt. If any crime was
committed it was perjury and the
offender must be proceeded against in
the regular way.

The Proper Age for Mares-Treatment OF
Mother and Foal.
II a mare is large and has the appear
ance of being matured, she may be bred
at two years; but the practice of breed
ing at that age is not commended, as
the formation and growth of the foal
takes what should go towards the de-
velopment of the are In addition,
not much will be gained by breeding at
that age, as it is very rae that a mare
that is sucking acolt when three years OF
age will breed. 1t will do no harm TO
work mares moderately either before os
after foaling. If after, they should be
well fed and not he kept from the colt
TO exceed four hours at any n time.
The best time, all things considered,
to have a mare foa. is soon after she has
been turned out to pasture, which in
this latitude is about June 1. At this
time they get what exercise nature in
tended they should have, and the fresh
grass acts as a laxative, so that the risk
OF losing the colt is reduced to the min
imum. The colt will thrive better and
do better than if foaled early in the
spring, especially if the mare is OK
pected to do her share of the spring
work" BY the way, it is very essential
that a mare in foal should have plenty
of exercise. 1t is not enough that she
has a box-stall to run in, but it is much

is a good time for a mare to foal, as 1t Is
not tho busy part of the year. The colt
may be weaned in tho spring, and the
mare will be ready for work; but as is
too often the case--the colt should not
be allowed to go without his regular al

The class of horses that farmers
should breed is the kind that is best
adapted to their W requirements.
Here in the East . horse that weighs
1900 pounds, with good action and

ers want. The French coach horses are
becoming deservedly popular with those
who go in for improvement, When
crossed with our native mares, they pro-
duced a class Of horses adapted to any
and all kinds of farm work, and are des-
tined to supply the hitherto unsupplied
demand for fine, housekeeping carriage
horses, as well as for many other places
where strong, active horses are wanted,
They have been bred up TO their present
high standard under the direct super
vision of the French Government, and
no horse can have a certificate of regis
