 HARTFORD, April 4-The man killed on the track near Bristol on Monday has been fully identified as Smith Hotchkiss of Woodbridge, forty-five years old. He was a man of property and was in the habit of tramping around the country. A previous identification as Robert Hotchkias of Bir mingham, proves to be incorrect.
 The deceased was brother of Warren Hotcbkiss of Westville, who now owns a large stock ranch in Chase county, Kan sas. There were only two brothers in the family. The deceased had always lived at the old homestead near Woodbridge center and appears to have had very peculiar habits, being given to wandering about @ great deal. He was considered by most people to be somewhat out of his mind.

How One Woman Criminal Was Detected.

1T Is "a good deal harder to convict a
woman of crime than man, said
James Tracy, the veteran detective. II
don't know why IL is SO unless it BE- that
women are slickcr in conceallng the evil
dence of their crime. / remember one case
l had here in st. Louis about 20 years ago,
where woman / had arrested nearly es-
capped punishment for her crime, but l
finally landed her in an unexpected way.
1.-THE woman was a servant in wealthy
family living in the west end. One night
about SO, 900 worth of diamonds belonging
TO the lady of the house were stolen, and
evidence went TO show that this servant
was the thief. / arrested her, but she
stoutly proclaimed her innocence, and at
the trial the jury brought in verdict Of
not guilty, claiming the evidence was not
sufficient TO convict. / was convinced in
my own mind, however, that the woman
was the guilty party and had planted the
diamonds somewhere and sooner or later
would try TO dispose OF them. One day
whilo standing on the corner OF Broadway
and Walnut streets with my partner l saw
her coming down the street dressed In
tho height of fashion. Thinking that
probably she had raised the diamonds, l
told my partner to arrest her and take her
To the station TO be searched. This he did,
and l, keeping out of sight, followed be-
hind TO see that she did not drop anything.
AS she walked along l noticed that she
kept swinging her parasol in rather queer
way and suddenly saw a little package
wrapped in a cloth drop from the parasol
into the gutter. l Immediately pounced
upon it, and my suspicious were confirmed
at finding the package TO contain the
stolen diamonds. After seeing that she
had been detected the woman confessed
and was sent to the penitcntiary for three
years. st. Louis Globe Democrat.

experiments In Utah~-A California Plan.
Irrigation Reservoirs Used In Arkansas.
j. w. Sanborn, director of the Utah
experiment station, has made expert
ments with subirrigation in the grow
Ing of wheat and grass The conclu-
sions reached are not favorable TO the
plan for these purposes, though for
orchards he expresses hint that it
might be successful.
Mr.. Sanborn summarizes the expert
ments as follow: Subirrigation, wheth-
CT by large open drains or by the cement
pipe system, fails to supply moisture
enough for growing crops. The lateral
movement of the water was too slew to
furnish the requisite supply for the evap-
Grafton of plants, being at the rate Of a
few inches day. 1t is concluded that
for the college farm the lateral move
ment OF water cannot be made rapid
enough for maximum crop growth.
The system is too costly for ordinary
farm crops"
A writer in the Kansas Farmer SAYS:
"Only from one-fourth TO one-third the
water is needed in subirrigation as COM
pared with surface irrigation by open
bitches. In California, however, side
openings are made in the tiles. From
my limited experience no openings are
needed if porous tiles are used. Tiles
for this purpose should be not less than
inches in diameter, soft burned and
very porous. Perhaps those made from
porous sand or gravel and sun dried
would answer the purpose best. Under
each joint lay single or board and
keep them on level. They will abb
serb the water when in excess and ex-
ude through the pores and joints into
the soil when needed. The entrance can
be at or near the we'll and filled as need
ed, while the outlet should be closed
with rags or moss.
The distance of lines of tiles apart
depends upon the nature of the SOIL -
Another correspondent of the same
journal says; I'm irrigating with q
pump tank is next in Importance to
the well and pumping power. The wa
ter must be stored until sufficient vol
ume is accumulated to make it spread
over the land. In the matter Of tanks
the cheapest and simplest is the best.
An earthen tank, from my observation,
is the best, cheapest and simplest
Along the Arkansas river, although
the soil is somewhat sandy, reservoirs
which hold satisfactorily are made by
scraping up the loose earth for wall
and tramping the bottom until it is a
puddle of mud. For irrigating an outlet
is made which will empty the reservoir
rapidly. For watering stock a pipe
should lead to watering trough, as
stock would soon destroy the walls.
Wooden reservoirs are expensive and
must necessarily be small in size. Some
have tried plastering the reservoir with
cement, but cement cracks badly and
really is no better than we'll made
earthen reservoir. "

Street Sprinkling.

The quantity Of water required to
keep macadam roads from becoming
dusty depends on the conditions of the
weather, the kind Of material used in
the roadway, the dimensions Of the
roadway and its exposure TO the sun.
In the vicinity of New York city it was
determined some years ago that 1, 900
square yards of road surface could be
kept fairly free of dust by the use Of q
sprinkler which spread water at the rate
of 7l.3 cubic feet twice day on each
1000 square yards of road surface, max
ing total of 143 cubic feet of water for
each /, 200 square yards. But some road
materials are softer than others, and the
wear of their surfaces is consequently
faster, and this hastens the accumula-
ton Of dust. If the road is exposed to
the hot sun and warm breezes, the wa
ter evaporates very quickly. The figures
given above will perhaps represent q
fair average, but TO determine the figures
with exactness each locality must be
subjected TO a separate test.-Exchange.

In the Interest of Road Improvement.

ton in the good roads movement. Many
Of the railway companies have made
concessions in transporting road mate
rails ranging from half rates TO free car
riage. Others have offered TO carry the
freight at the bare cost of hauling when
ever n general improvement be under
taken. 1t is suggested that the latter
plan be generally adopted. The method
Of computing the cost, it is cited, could
be defined and board constituted for
adjusting the rates to be granted in ac-
cordance with local conditions. The cir
cular says:
Such combined concession would
be Of immense value TO the public, while
it would involve little actual expense to
the companies, and its bare announce
ment would do more to advance the road
movement than years of purely educa-
tional work. 1t would be an inspiration
to prompt action by state and local au-
thorities throughout the Union. Should
anything in the state or nationaLstatutes
be found 10 inhibit such discrimination
in rates, the legislative authoritieswould
no doubt quickly remove the obstacles
in the interest of the public welfare.'"

THE GOOD ROADS CRUSADE.

The movement for good roads" has re-
ceiyed great impetus throughout the
state during the past few weeks. A de-
cided change of heart and front has come
about in the quarters most influential to
the accomplishment Of the objects sought
in the good roads crusade, and New
York will soon step to the front rank
among the 10 states that have taken up
the matter Of better road construction.
The great difficulty in the way has
been the finding Of good system to su-
persede the old and inadequate labor
system" dating back from colonial
times under which the taxes for road
maintenance may be paid in work on
the roads. There has been and still is a
wide difference of opinion among those
thoroughly convinced Of the necessity of
q radical change as to the best method
Of effecting it, The county road law"
recently passed by the legislature has
lately won many supporters, although
for some time there was great opposition
to its adoption. 1t has an especial pro-
vision requiring all road taxes to be paid
in money, and this provision is attract
ing support for the law.
The Farmers club Of central New
York, an important and influential or
ganization, adopted resolutions recently
strongly favoring the money system and
warmly indorsing the county road law
as "a hopeful effort toward universally
good roads" The club estimates that the
loss from the use of the present roads
throughout the state amounts to So, 600, :
900 annually in the haulage Of crops
alone, besides loss in failure to take
prompt advantage of markets, loss in
vehicles, harness and animals, and loss
in comfort, health and decency. The

clared to be "the one great state ques-

Origin of the Word TeetotaI.

for the word teetotalism." Joseph Live
sey, albeit fluent speaker when wound
up to his subject, generally began in STAN
mer!ng and hesitating fashion, and indeed
suffered IN some measure from a natural
impediment Of speech. From this cause
certain peculiarities of his diction led the
irrevercnt testers of that day 70 make no
little fun out of his illusions to the bless
ings Of t-t-t-total abstinence. The word
became famous. T-t-t-total was in every
body's mouth, and finally in its abbrevi-
ated form Of teetotal was gradually intro
duced into the English language. The
old joke is long since dead, the result Of
1t remains, and photographers thousand
years hence will, like enough, invent mys-
tic and learned explanations as TO its true
derivation. Black and White.
