Since the notifications of her politi-

thority of the claim that each of the
defendants was entitled to three
strikes, and he didn't think it could be
found. He asked the court to consider
what the application Of such rule in
this case would mean. The defend
ants might have appeared by one at
torney. Mr.. Jones said that it would
be unprofessional for one attorney to
represent the diverse interests of these
defendants, and Mr.. Oliu retOrted that
TO the extent the interests of defend
ants were diverse to that extent the
plaintiffs had no cause Of action.
Judge Siebecker ruled that while the
defendants We're in a sense separate in
their defense, they could not be con
Sidered as each making d distinct de

Mr.. DIN. On account of the very gen

the attorneys wisely decided not to
attempt to secure men perfectly ig-
norant of the subject. The men were
asked, in the main, as to whether they

facts of the case, had formed any Opin-

Mr.. Dumphy was excused. After a
short examination by the defendants
the striking process was begun and
the jury was finally complete, the
operation being ended shortly before
6 o'clock. without going outside of the
regular jury list This important ag-
gregation OF men was duly sworn in
and solemnly Instructed by the. judge
as to their duties. They were made
to feel the extreme Importance of the
action.
The jury is composed of the follow

The chameleon is said % live on air
and it is supposed that the live lizard
pins will last during the natural life
time of the little creature without
ever feeding it. This is all buncombe.
The chameleon lives on the kind of
food which nature has intended for
him. and which he finds in his native
woods. 1t is species of lizard, and
has Il Unlike ridge along the back and
down to the tip end of the tail. ANY
encyclopaedia will fully describe this
species. 1t shades in different colors

cording to how the light strikes its mi
mute scales.
The scarfpin lizard is entirely an
other thing, but like the chameleon, il
has to have food to live. OF course il
can go a long time without visible
food living off the notes floating in the
atmosphere, but it grows thin and final
ly starveS TO death on that kind OF
diet In its wild state it lives off small
gnatS, plant lice, flies and tender
plants. When well fed they glisten
like different shades of gold. In a fou
atmosphere full of floating germs ant
living anlInalculae the lizards and
chameleons may exist long time, bu
just as soon as they are brought int
pure atmosphere they starve and die
and starvation and the blight of 'tht
chilly air is the death doom of every
one of the lizards now on sale for
scarfpins. They cannot stand the
frosty air of the north.
When these little insects were frs:
put upon the market the price asked
for them was 81 each; now they are
offered at forty eight cents apiece anG
before long they will be sold at Il
quarter. After that they will have to
be thrown away.
They are perfectly harmless, and in
the cemeteries of the extreme south
children catch them and play with
thenl, much as the children of the
nortl chase and catch butterflies in
summer.
1t is downright cruelty to keep thu

SUN VS.. NERVES.
What u Woman Has to Say About the
Effect of One Upon the Other.

When the woman of moderate means
selects the house which shall be her
home; she looks well to lbs location,
and will often take a house in bad
repair if situated on a good street in
preference to a more conveniently ar
ranged house In a less desirable neigh,
borhOOd. Good repair is the second
consideration, and there are q good
many degrees of desirability in the
repair part of it, too. With good
many women, handsome papering and
fine finish as to wood work and gas
fixtures weigh heavier than perfect
sanitary arrangements.

The house is chosen because its, front
outlook is good, yet the one member Of
the family who is always at home is

dining room, with the cheerful out
look of a, brick wall or a high board
fence just three feet away. The sun
may visit the house in patches; looking
in at this or that window for a half
hour during the day, but the house
is SO hemmed in that the sun seldom
strikes two windows at the same time.
And the sitting room. Why, oh why,
is it always RELOCATED to the back Of
the house, with its enlivening prospect
Of a stretch of back yards decorated
with kitchen debris and perpetual

S91 66. The assets are S2606 p. The re-
ports of the secretary and auditor We're &C
ccpted and adopted. The reports showed Il
deficiency of about $500, which is due for
the secretary's salary. There are some 4l5
members on the rolls of the association, of
| whom only 10 are in good standing.

mistakable depression among the sheep
breeders who attended to-day's meeting, and

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN WATERBURY



WATERBURY, Feb. 1.-The largest fire
that this town has witnessed for number
of years took place this morning between
the hours of 4 and D.
Mr.. Frank Griffin. on going to his work,
discovered blaze in the bakery which is
located in the Davis & Crossett block. The
alarm of fire was soon given, but the fire en-
CINE was frozen up when the fire started and
the fremen were unable to save the block
and the house owned by Jshn King next to
it. Everything in the bakery was lost.
Mr.. VI. Griffith, who run a large harness
shop in apartments adjoining those of the
bakery, saved part of his goods.
Mr.. Pat Carver and family and Mr.. John
Duffus' family who occupied rooms over the
stores, had narrow escape losing every
thing. Mrs Duffus was taken out in her
night clothes by James Summervile, who
was badly cut about the arms while break
ing glass to reach her.
The engine was at last thawed out and a
stream turned on the bank block, occupied
by the Waterbury National bank and by
Hiram Bovce as grocery store. The block
was saved, but the large plate glass windows
were broken and the building and contents
were thoroughly atersoaked Charles
Wells, the cashier of the bank, was badly
burned about the face in trying to protect
the bank property. The origin Of the fire
is unknown but it is supposed that it started
about the bakery furnace This makes the
third time that this block has been consumed
