Largely a Matter of Taste.

Largely a Matter Of Taste.
Possibly in New York we may be super
sensitive on this question, but speaking for
mvself must say that we have not, for the
past year and a half, allowed ourselves the
coarse qualification of squashing flies at
meal time, especially when we had any of
the corned heads or Guelph outfit stopping
with us.
Still, all these things are matters of taste.
had college friend who became dentist,
preferring it, as he said, to the ministry be-
cause he never could pray worth a cuss on
an empty stomach. Well, he had preoc-
cupied way of boring out old cavities and
wiping off the apex OF his drill on his trou-
sers This did not cut into his practice
where he was, but one day he outgrew the
town and wore high hat. He said that he
was sick of perusing the wide sweep of the
Farmers Alliance tonsil, so he sold his
cow and moved to a fat on Lexington ave-
nue. looking east.
He Shocked Young Lady.
He looked out the window there for few
months, thinking and banting. Then q
young lady from near the Forty.second
street reservoir came to get her mouth sur
veyed. In the mirror she saw him wipe his
instrument on a bald spot just forward Of
the portable mantel on which he was wont
to scratch his matches mostly, and with a
wild scream she fled with rubber dam in
her mouth and a tinker's dam in her port
monte with which to pay the dentist. She
was caught on Fifth avenue half hour
later, and pulled out from under one Of
Colonel Jewdesprit Shepard's portable saw
mills.
But her mind was gone.
So has the dentist.
You see that these matters are largely
local In their nature. British Columbia
customs may sanction certain practices
which on Beacon street or Madison avenue
would be coughed down. Now, for instance,
we had fashion in my native town OF re-
garding 1T rs a personal insult if your guest
lett heel tap or dregs, even if you left one
dreg in your glass. Your host had right
to feel hurt and to regard it as mild con-
tempt for your rum.

1t is very hard to say at times what would
be best, but referring the matter to warm,
intimate friend on Murray Hill, New
York, who uses our large kettle to make
soap In every spring, and with whom we
are on terms of the closest intimacy, find
that it is not regarded as an evidence of re-
fnement to squash fly on the table by
means of ones knife.

WORLD OF SPORTS.
One Reason For the Failure of the St



One Reason For the Failure of the State
League.
The Norwich Bulletin finds that the
State league is an organization with
out sufficient character or discipline
in 1T to hold it together. 1t has no
power to enforce it's rules or its penal
ties. Clubs have openly violated the
schedule, players have openly ignored
the rules, managers have squarely re-
fused to pay forfeits or to pay guaran-
tees. The most that can be made of it
appears to be weak organization with
managers in it who know better how to
play possum than how to play ball.

WATER Their THEME.

Meeting of the Committee Appointed to
Secure a Hydraulic Engineer.
A meeting of the committee appointed
to secure the services of an experienced
hydraulic engineer to report upon the
matter of an additional water supply
for the city, met in the mayors Office
last night. The committee consists of
F. B. Rice, Jay HI. Hart, G. S. Parsons,
John E. Finley and J. II. Guernsey, and
every member was present. F. B. Rice
was appointed chairman. An applica-
ton to do the work was received from
F. H. Mckenzie of Southington. He
was endorsed by the water boards of
Meriden, Wallingford, Har ford and
other places. Several other names
were mentioned, but no definite action
was taken. Chairman Rice made few
remarks in which he stated that it
would not be wise to look for a cheap
man, and that when an engineer was
secured he should work entirely upon
his own responsibility. Councilman
Finley agreed with Mr. Rice that good
man should be secured, a man whose
reputation is at stake. He did not be-
lieve that good engineer has to run
around looking for job. The commit
tee adjourned for one week, during
which time applications may be sent in
and the committee will enquire and see
who will make good man for the posi-
tion

POLICE COURT.
"Chappy" Moran Found Not Guilty Ofth
Charge of Landlord Esinhart.


Charge of Landlord Esinhart.
In the police court to-day ''Chappy"
Moran, the jolly second baseman of the
tempting to defraud A. Esinhart, the
proprietor of the Earle house, of a board
bill. Moran owed three weeks board
bill at the house and told the proprietor
he would settle up on the 18th of the
month, when he received his pay. This
was satisfactory, but a few days ago
Moran announced his intention of going
to the Cooley house to live, and offered
Mr. Esinhart an order on Treasurer Mat
tison for his pay. This was refused and
the ball player left the house taking his
satchel with him. For this he was ar
rested. Judge Bradstreet found the ac-
cused not guilty.
John Hughes, boy living on Rail-
road Hill street, and Daniel Cronin, were
both charged with truancy. Mrs Hughes,
a neatly dressed woman, mother of the
first boy, testified to her long illness
which kept her from home and thus the
boy had become truant. Mr. Cronin,
who appeared to be hard working man,
asked to have the court exercise leniency
this time and he would correct his boy s
habits of truancy. Judge Bradstreet
continued both cases for 30 days.
John Daily vas charged with an as
sault on Patrick Gilligan. Last night
Gilligan was sitting on the steps of his
boarding house on Railroad Hill street
when Daily commenced throwing stones
at him, one of them striking Gilligan
and cutting deep cash on his head.
DAILY pleaded guilty to the charge. He
was fined $40 and costs.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Mayor Baldwin's Timely Suggestions il
Regard to Public Parks,

Mayor Baldwin's Timely Suggestions in
Regard to Public Parks, !
To THE PUBLIC:
Some days ago through the press,
informed you that certain property ly-
ing between the cemetery and the hos
pital and belonging to the Wilson estate
and containing 18 acres more or less
$4,000. told you of this
that you might not regret not
having bought it in the years
to come. said it was desirably located
for a park and that while we did not
need it to-day and were not in very
good condition financially to purchase it
now. still 1 did my duty in telling you
what I did and then left the matter
wholly in the hands of the people to
decide.
1t is not necessary to state that my
only motive was just pride in our city,
and due thought of Its future wants.
Since then 1 have heard it stated that
this same property has been Of
fered within a few months to private
parties for $4,000. desire to state now
that this is not true. 1t was offered to
one person at $50, 900, and also to the
Riverside cemetery for $4,000. 1 state
this is on the word If A. NJ. Blakesley,
who has the sale of the property,
further evidence. 1 now hear that
many people think that the place for a
park is in the eastern portion of the
city, and am glad to learn that the Por-
ter property, containing several
acres and beginning at Silver street,
can be purchase d. have looked
at it and think it beautifully
adapted to park purposes. 1t
is convenient and by small yearly out
lay can be made to fill our wants for
many years to come. All 1 do insist
upon is that we do not go to sleep and
allow all the available park property to
be thrown out of our reach for all time.
1 trust that the committee appointed to
examine into this matter of parks will
feel 1t their duty to give full considera-
ton to all reasonable suggestions and
among other properties that they shall
find out about and report upon, think
this Porter property good one to look
into. The thing to avoid is too much
talk and too little action. Very respect
fully, G. r. BALDWIN, Mayor.

Action Taken BY the Fourth Ward
Club Last Night.
The Fourth Ward Democratic club
held a largely attended and interesting
meeting at their rooms on River street
last evening and the following resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, that the citizens of the
eastern section of the city favor the
location of a park ON Pine hill, as a
place of recreation for the multitude
living in this crowded quarter of the
city-a location acceptable to the peo-
pie most in need of such places, and
earnestly urge. that every member of
this club use all honorable and legiti-
mate means to impress on the city
fathers the ACCESSIBILITY of selecting this
location.
Resolved, that the following COM
mittee wait on his honor, the mayor,
and request him to properly place this
matter before the court of common
council:. James Coughlan, president;
John Finley, vice-president; NJ. F. Nc

WRITING POETRY.
One of the Diversions of Unfortunate
Patrick Flanagan.

One of the Diversions of Unfortunate
Patrick Flanagan.
Patrick Flanagan, the unfortunate
man who is awaiting his doom in New
Haven jail for the murder of Michael
McDermott, spends.a good deal of his
time writing rhymes and short poems.
The following lines he recently sent to a
friend in this city with the request that
they be published in the DEMOCRAT:
Oh, this is the time when the patriots
soul
Is filled with the vigor of youth,
While watching dishonor's war clouds
as they roll
Against honor, virtue and truth;
With his hand on the helm he safely
will guide
His barque past the rock that's ahead,
Then standing in triumph behold his
own work
When dishonor's ambition is dead.
All, think of the past tits all you may do,
Dishonor before it will fall,
United the national voice will ascend
And for honor and virtue will call.
The harp of old Tara with joy it will
sound,
Once more through that princely pile,
Where honor and virtue above every
thing stood
On that sainted green emerald isle.
Oh, here is my hand, you're defending
my honor,
On my pages your names I'll enroll,
With Emmett, with Grattan, Sarsfield
and O'Neil,
O'Donnell, Fitzgerald and Tone.
The mother your deeds to her son will
rehearse,
While the maiden your praises will
sing;
You'll obtain the renoun of the whole
universe
And a blessing from your heavenly
king.
