SIMON FRITZ NOT GUILTY.

McndclssOhn Fails to Prove a Theft Oi
 ChattcIs and False Witness.
 Simon Fritz of New Haven was be- fore Judge Studley of that city, yester- day, charged with theft of chattels and false witness. The charges were the outcome of a mixed up financial trans acton with M. Mendelssohn of this city. Mendelssohn testified that early in April he sold to Fritz an installmenl route for about $G00. A part of the payment was in a note for $1O0 on the New Haven savings bank. This note was protested. Mendelssohn then went to New Haven for an explanation and Fritz gave him an order on the New Haven savings bank, claiming that ha had money deposited there. When the order was presented, payment was re- fused until the book should be pre- sented. Mendelssohn returned to Fritz and asked him for the book and the latter volunteered to go the bank and get the money. Before they reached there Fritz, who had the note, said that he had no money in the bank, and tore up the note. Mendelssohn picked uI the pieces and had Fritz arrested.
 Fritz, in his own defense, testified that he had paid the face of the note without taking it up. When he after. ward got hold of it he had torn it uI and threw the pieces away. Judge Studley decided that theft or false wit, ness had not been proved and dis charged Fritz.
 It is estimated, however, that the end of the matter is not yet, and that Fritz will at once institute proceedings anC have Mendelssohn arrested on the charge of having him, Fritz, arrested falsely and unjustly. It is also stated that charge of perjury may also bt brought against Mendelssohn for swear ing to what he knew was false while or the witness stand.

Effect of the New England Terminal
 Purchase.
 The purchase of the New England Terminal company by the Consolidated railroad not only gives the company a magnificent dock privilege in New York, but makes more remote than ever the possibility of the New England and Long Island railroads obtaining a through route between New York and Boston.
 The Consolidated Railroad company commenced using the new approach tc Willimantic yesterday. The company now enter the town independently oI the New England railroad.

 AT the meeting of the state board of health, held in Hartford yesterday, a circular on the subject of cholera was read by Secretary Lindsley and ordered printed and distributed. Among other things the circular says that the United States cannot feel exempt from the in troduction of the disease as long as Europe has it. To prevent it requires the vigilant and intelligent activity of health officers at ports of entry and local boards of health. It is communi- cated by specific infection, a living germ, known as ''comma bacillus" :" Undrained and unsewered tenement houses, garbage, kitchen slops, etc, should be looked after. All nuisances dangerous to the public health should be abated. The milk and water supply should receive special attention. Mar kets should be inspected with reference to the quality of food offered for sale. In the event of cholera appearing in a town the health officer should provide for it's care by isolating the case, having proper attendance, and taking such action as would insure the public safety without doubt.

 Lucer's Minstrels. One of the best minstrel performances ever seen in these parts was that given in the Jacques last night, by the Lucier company. A large and enthusiastic audience was present and there was not dull moment. Part first was an elaborate drawing room representation, | with reception in progress, in the days of King Charles of France. The cos | tunes were elaborate. Joseph R. Lucier, who acted as interlocutor, is totally blind, but fills the position in a very clever manner. The singing was away above the average. Messrs Anderson and Kale especially receiving great applause, which was well merited c. N. Lucier, Harry Ward and Harry Budworth also found favor with the audience. The march of the black zouaves was cleverly executed and the exhibition of tumbling given by the Lafayettes has never been surpassed here.

IT will be remembered not long ago that the insurance feature of the Ancient Order of Hibernians was done away with. Middletown has now sub stituted a new local insurance society to be known as the Hlbernian insurance benefit. Members are required to pay so much as dues to the society, and at death the heirs of members will receive a sum not yet agreed upon. About forty have already joined the order.

THERE is class of workers who after the great majority of Waterburians have retired to rest, silently visit thousands of homes and with the break of new day begin their labor. They are the milkmen. There are nearly fifty of them and the best part of their work is done between midnight and dawn. It is estimated that the people of Water bury drink 10000 quarts of milk daily.

The winter and spring wheats are now
interchangeable, the former being easily
converted into the latter and the latter
into the former. Another classification
may be made with reference to the char
acteristics to assist in their arrangement
as follows: White, red and velvet Chaff:
smooth and bearded ears; white, red and
amber gram; hard and soft grain. This
classification is by no means permanent
or satisfactory except in relation to the
smooth and bearded ears-they are al.
ways the same everywhere and in all
seasons, but the other characteristics are
subject to the influences of soil, climate
and methods of cultivation in so marked
degree that they are not alike in any
two sections or states or even seasons in
the same region. In arid regions the
chaff, straw and grain are much lighter
in color, the grain much more hinty, the
chatf more fragile, especially on the
bearded varieties. Farmers Review.

To set the egg spinning as described de-
mands practice, not to mention some
strength, and, still more, address. For
the benefit of those who are ambitious to
succeed at the first attempt we indicate a
simpler plan of procedure. Place the tray
on the table, letting it project so far over
the edge as to be readily and rapidly
grasped by the hand. Place the egg in the
middle, and with the thumb of the left
and the first finger of the right hand
placed at opposite ends set it vigorously
spinning. 1t will Immediately rise on end,
still spinning. Quickly seize the tray,
and you will then have nothing to do but
to keep the egg still rotating which is a
very easy matter. This is done by moving
the tray in horizontal circles, but in the
reverse direction to that in which the egg
revolves.

Artificial Incubation.

Prairie Farmer says: 1--WE are satisfied
that as good fowls, either as breeders or
for the table, can be raised by means Of
the incubator and the brooder, as can he
by the mother hen, and when broilers
are to be principally and largely raised
for the early market the incubator and
brooder must be used to insure success.
Artificial incubation is as old as Egyp-
tian civilization. The modern incubator
has brought this old idea down to our
practical ways and has now come to be
nearly practically perfect. That is to
say, any intelligent man or woman by
making practical study of the matter
as contained in the letter of instruction
sent with each, ought not to find diff
Guilty in managing either the incubator
Or brooder.
1--WE see no reason, as a practical man
engaged for over thirty years in the prac-
tice of agriculture in its several branches,
including all classes of live stock and
horticulture, why there should be diff
Guilty in managing an incubator and
orooder. But no person, man or wom-
An, need expect either to manage itself.
Like any other thing in agriculture, the
profit comes from intelligent action
through careful study of the imple-
ment or machine, as the case may be. In
other words, the farmer must use the
same means that any business man does.
Then good machine or implement will
10 good work, and none the less so than
the incubator and brooder, especially
where broilers are to be got ready in the
season when prices are high. Yet this

are warm enough so she can do justice
to her eggs and her young brood"
