The Street Department Not Responsible
 For the Nuisance on North Riverside

The Street Department Not Responsible
 For the Nuisance on North Riverside Street.
 The DEMocRAT's expose in reference to the condition of things in some of the back yards around the center has woke up the whole town, and it is stated that the fire of yesterday afternoon was due to the effort of some one to put his yard iR shape before the sanitary insp sctor could reach his place. Speaking of the account of the different places visited yesterday promi- nent citizen said that the report should have contained the names of the people who have been maintaining a nuisance on their premises. It is not the purpose of the paper to cause unnecessary trouble for any one. The information was given for the public good. not with view of bring ing anyone into the public print, hence the omission of the names. But if those whose places have been visited are wise they will profit by the hint. and thus save themselves considerable expense, for it is the intention of the health officers to com pei all to comply with the law in this mat l ter. Street Inspector Kelley was inter- viewed to- day in reference to the matter of dumping the cleanings of the catch basins in the rear of Riverside street. MT Kelley said he knew nothing about the matter. He did know. however. that nothing had been dumped there by the street department.

HURET.

French gold to visit Paris and become pro fessionals, and if the craze dies out sud. denly they will have cause to regret theil assertion of the l.. A. w.
 Among the Americans at present in Paris or soon to be are Zimmerman, George A. Banker, William Martin, ex-champion long distance rider of the world; Frank Waller and Charles Ashinger, both we'll known long distance men; Harry Wheeler, the great short distance rider; Austin T. Crooks and J. F. SStarbuck.
 Wheeler has won few races, but his work on the whole has been disappointing. Ash. finger was sixth in the recent eight day race which was won by Huret. Waller and Martin entered, but seemed in no condition for the contest. Huret is a we'll known French rider who has been pedaling a wheel for four years.
 It is 8 very difficult thing for 8 crack rid erto enter a new climate and acquit him. self in his usual form, and if the mighty Zimmerman sweeps all before him in France many careful students of bicycling on this side of the Atlantic will be very agreeably surprised.

Mir Marlborough. the author of "Del- monicos at Six" has furnished piece which is very cleverly conceived and very skillfully worked out, The humorous complications arise out of a fashionable doctors determination to test his wife's love for him by trying to arouse her jeal- ousy.

 David Murray was arraigned before Jus tice Hewitt at Groton yesterday. charged with abduction and seduction of Lizzie Chamberlain, aged fifteen.

Justice Hewitt dis missed the case and probably all will be forgiven now.
