DISTRICT COURT.

Leslie l. Archer Escapes PunIshment | Owing T-chnIcaiIty.
 Judge Badstreet presided at the opening of the criminal side of the district court this morning.
 Attorney Pierce won a victory for his client, Leslie l.. Archer. Some time ago Archer traded a horse with William A. Merrill. a grocer on High street. receiving in return some money. another horse. and antee of the horse claiming the animal was sound in every particular. Merrill discovered that the horse was foundered and demanded back his money and other goods. Archer refused and he was ar rested for obtaining goods under false pretenses. In the p Ilice court he was fined $50 and costs. An appeal was taken ani allowed by Judge Root to the next term of the district court. The stat l ute provides that when for an ofienss of such q nature the lower court thinks a greater punishment than $50 should be l imposed. the accused should be bound over to the next term of the superior court. As the fine was rhade greater and as the appeal was allowed A motion was made before Judge Bradstreet. allowed | and the case erased from the docket on the grounds given above
 William McNally. aged eighteen. pleaded | guilty to assault on Officer John Sullivan | In the lower court he was given sl and costs and thirty days in jail.

 A bad case of typhoid fever was reported yesterday to the health officer. the patient being George w. Morris, who lately moved here from Seymour and now resides i1 McCann's new house on Johnson place.
 The result of the Brophy and Fruin cases, in the district court at Waterbury ested parties here expected. The arrests should not have been made at that time of night It was past business hours. and unless the officer thought they were out to commit a crime. he was not justified. Thi: we give as the opinion of many of our tax. payers who foot the bills.

HOW TO CARE FOR A BATHROOM
Keep Disrase Away From This Much Used
 Room.

Keep Disrasc Away From This Much Used
 Room.
 In the lir>t place. q sponge is by nc means fit article to use in taking q bath. It is the plumbers best friend. ani those "ho vaiue perfection in theiI plumbing have none of it.
 The sponge, especially after it has been used q short time, is continually shedding little particles of itself. These lodge ill the pipes, and ill many cases attach themselves to little rough places on the inside.
 X good huck towel, with Q comfort ably wide hem, securely stitched on the sewing machine so that no linty edges are exposed. is quite as agreeable tc many people as a sponge. In all bath. rooms there should be kept standing a suitable vessel with a quantity of disin. fcctant. This should bo poured through all the pipes and allowed to remain long enough to do its work. Many persons object to potash, and these will find copperas or a strong solution of sal soda the next best means of keeping up to an improved sanitary standard. Hot water, judiciCuSly used, is n good thing, but tc have this perfectly safe the plumbing must be good, else the joints, by long continued heat. may become slightly softcncd. Much of the solder that i, used mclts at very low temperature and cannot bc trusted to hold long continued stream of water that is al boiling point
 The bathroom should have an outsid, window and fresh air wherever it i, possible to admit it. In summer n slat ted or Venetian blind should be provid ed so that the window may remain open except in case of storm. Few thing, are more disaEroeablc than stuffy bath room. one where the odors of sewer ga. and snEEy, decaying wood are evident To avoid this there must be no leaks il tho pipes Or faucets. and the joints mus be carefully looked after.

How to stop the Breaking of Shoes.

Breaking shoes arc an intolerable nuisance, yet with some shoes it is al most impossible to prevent it. For such pour n small quantity of linseed or sweet oil upon flat surface. like n platter. and allow the soles of the shoes to stand ill the oil overnight. In that way they will not only lose the squeak, but will become saturated with the oil. making them proof against dampness.
 Another cure may be effected by taking them to cobbler and having one or two pegs driven into the center of the soles.

China the Aggressor.

1t is remarkable commentary on
: the course of the Administration in
sending an offensive message to Jap
an reproving that country for "levy-
ing unjust war" upon Korea, that
every dispatch from the East shows
that China is the power which is
making the warlike preparations and
pouring her forces by thousands into
the Hermit Kingdom. 1t was mani
testify in the interest of China that
Gresham menaced Japan with the
displeasure of the United States, and
the American State Department has
been made tool of by the willy &C.
lestials to brighten the Japanese into
surrender.
The fact that Japan has not pro-
tested against the insult and menace
from Mr.. Cleveland's State Depart
ment does not show that her states
men are Indifferent to the outrage,
but only indicates that they are pru-
IDENTIFY averse to having the govern
ment of the United States against
them when confronting a probable
war with China. Should Japan come
triumphant out of the controversy
or conflict with the Chinese the Unit.
ed States would feel the effect of the
grave blunder of which Gresham has
been guilty, doubtless with the con
sent of Mr.. Cleveland.
1t is difficult to see how war can b.
avoided. China is evidently resolved
to hold Korea at any cost, and il
preparing to protect Chinese portl
against an attack from Japan. TIL,
Japanese are equally firm in thei
resolution that the Chinese shal
evacuate Korea and that Japanes
interests shall befully protected there
The two nations have reached tn
fighting pitch, and Korea will be tn
battle ground of the war should wa
break out. Peace, as the result Q
arbitration, is still possible, but i'm
probable.-N. Y. Press.
