New and Dangerous Disease.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
Antipyrlnism is the name of a
new malady caused by the abuse of
the latest fashionable drug, an
tIpyrine. In a lecture delivered
just before Christmas at the Sor-
bonne, the university of Paris, DR..
p. Regnard, who Is one of the most
eminent medical authorities in
France, uttered an emphatic warn
ing against the abuse of antipy rine.
1t is well-known that excessive
smoking produces narcotism The
abuse of alcohol gives rise to alco.
holism, and that of morphine 10
morphinism. In the same way the
injudicious use Of cocaine is fol.
lowed by cocainism, and there are
at the present moment a number
OF patients in the Paris hospitals
under treatment for this malady.
With regard to antipyrine, DIR.
Regnard admits that it does won
ders in cases of great nervousness,
and that it is praised by the pa
tient. But he points out that in
disturbing and arresting the ma
tural action of the nerves by
chemical substance, although that
action may not be accompanied by
very great pain, the penalty for
sach intemperance will have to be
paid sooner or later. And The
penalty in question is a horrible
one. For among the numerous
evils 10 which the excessive use of
aniipyrine gives rise are epileptic
fits.

The man who went out TO milk
and sat down on a boulder in the
middle of the pasture and waited
for the COW to back up to him, was
the eldest brother of the man who
kept store and did not advertise,
because he reasoned that the pur-
chasing public would back up to
his place when it wanted some
thing.-SiOur City Tribune.

Superintendent Bollman stated to the po-
lice commissioners last night why he had pre-
ferred charges against Officer Henry D.
Cowles. 1t was for using insulting language
and for naturalization. After the charges
were preferred the superintendent stated
that Officer Cowles appeared before him, and,
after a friendly Chat, acknowledged his er-
Tor. He thought the officer had been pun.
ished enough, and had therefore Withdrawn
the charge. Commissioners Baldwin, Clan
cy and Andrew didn't think the superintend-
emit had any right to withdraw charges. BE
had made them, and 1t was the duty of the
officer had been served with notice of the
charges, which were in writing. Commits
sioners Benton and Hart stood by the super
intendent and claimed that there were no
charges before the board. The superintend-
emit had seen fit to withdraw them. Mayor
Peck ruled that there were no charges OFF,
cially before the board, as the clerk had not
read them. A motion was taken to take up
the monthly bills, which was carried, Com
missioners Benton Hart and Gallagher,
and Mayor Peck voting yes. Later Commits.
sioner Clancy moved to grant Officer Cowles
seven days pay, which amounted to twenty

vote was q tie and Mayor Peck gave the dis
solving vote. Commissioners Gallagher,
Clancy and Andrew voted to pay IL.
The board refused to pay q bill of DR.

AN INTERESTING DECISION.

AN INTERESTING DECISION.
Towns Have the Right OF Self-Protec-
tion-What the Supreme Court Says
Parallel Case to New Havenss Anti.
Consolidation Fight.
A new decision Of the Supreme court just
handed down ia of much general public in-
terest, as it involves practically the same
questions which lay at ia root Of the recent
fight against consolidating the town and city
of New Haven. Eminent legal authorities in
New Haven said yesterday that the decision
was food for thought for those who had been
condemning New Haven's old board of select
men for their stand in their notable contest
against consolidation. It is also vindica-
ton of the opinion Hon. N. D. Sperry ex-
pressed (solely and alone among those inter
which was published in one of our papers, in
which Mr.. Sperry held that the selectmen of
New Haven would have been derelict in their
manifest duty if they had not, as the towns
representatives, maintained its ancient and
legal right pertaining to all Connecticut
towns) to oppose and resist dismemberment,
or the practical dissolution of its government
and existence. The parallel case in question
is as follows:
When the proposition to divide the town
of Derby was before the last legislature the
selectmen employed counsel and lobbied
against the division. Franklin Farrell and
others, representing the Ansonia portion, got
out an Injunction against the selectmen to
prevent them paying the counsel and lobby
ing expenses out of the town funds, on the
ground that in SO doing they would be using
part of the money which came from Ansonia.
That injunction case went to the courts and
the Supreme court has just decided in favor
of the selectmen, finding that they had the
power to employ counsel and pay them from
the town funds to resist legislation which
would divide the town. In other words the
| Supreme court holds that the right of the
town to exist implies the right to defend it's
existence.
This is identically the same question in-
| volved in the great consolidation fight here,
aud if the decision Is correct the selectmen
here had the right to employ counsel and cut
| them out of the town funds for the purpose
of resisting an effort to destroy the existence
| of the town.
| Notwithstanding the decision of the Con-
ecticut Supreme court, other Supreme courts
have passed upon the matter in an entirely
different light. That in Massachusetts, held
that town had no power to incur expenses
on such defense, and in Maine the same
was held by the Supreme court.
By the decision, those lawyers who have
been anxiously awaiting their pay will now
be compensated for their legislative work.
| Some of those interested in the non-division
movement say that they will send for the
opinion SO that the full text of the finding
can be seen.
