The Problem Solved.
Written for J. NJ. Nolan by an O. A. C. Student.

Written for j. NJ Nolan by an O. A. c. Student.
Twas in 1894. in that disastrous year
Aud statesmen grand aud glorious were
gathered fr"m afar and near.
The i9ect OF this gathering of the nations
Of the earth.
Was to rid thcm Of the fami~e to which
nature had sivea birth.
Tse SPEAK ers ct sA~t day were eo~ased by
the sosre,
AaA the walls resoanded with their elo-
qucrce as their fates they did deplore;
Each Que had reason for the famine III
his land
1t Was caused, in his opinion, by the op-
posing party's hand.
And thus they talked and argued, but the
remedy none could zee.
Said one, ''N hat set of paupers we all
have grown to be!
AID if you'll only pay attention the reason
l will show
King Fashion, IN his glory, with his scythe
comes forth to NOW,
And those who behind the times have fal.
len III the buying of their clothes,
Are the ones who fall before him every
where he goes.
Now, to keep apsce with Fashion in his
ever changing speed,
our families feed,
Is a greater strain on our pocket books
than we're able to withstand,
And consequently. as you see, we've formed
this pauper's band.
Then, anil the rounds of cheers, the
speaker took his seat,
And all agreed that at last they'd found the
question they must meet.
Then from a distant corner, an old man
arose and said,
''If this he the reason that the world doth
cry for bread,
Then let US all be merry for the problem
we can solve,
And our partnership with famine at once
we will dissolve;
And an era of prosperity must dawn UPON
our night,
If, when king Fashion comes, we'll only do
the right.
Now, to keep up with the fashion and still
have plenty at our door,
We must do our trading at J. NJ. Nolan's
If the very latest fashions we are longing to
procure,
With the very best of quality we can any
where secure,
With the very lowest prices to he found
throughout the land;
In the very line of goods that are always in
demand;
In everything that man e'er wears, from hat
clean down to sock,
Let US at once examine J. M. Nolan's new
spring stock"
Then the wise old codger disappeared
again from view,
And everyone in the assembly from Amer
lean to Jew,
Agreed that the vexing question by the old
man had been solved,
So this grand and noble body was very soon
dissolved,
And each individual member homeward
took his wav,
Rejoicing in ha, ing solved the question oil
(; the day.

kinds of blacksmithing at reduced prices
to meet the scarcity of money. In con-
nection with their business an agricult-

structive class exercise given by
the fourth grade. The fifth grade
followed with union exercise Ell
titled "Planting Trees" Miss
Gertrude Cauthorn then gave a
recitation "Arbor Day" that was
thoroughly enjoyed by all. Miss
Turney of the sixth grade had
perhaps given the matter more
time and consideration than the
other teachers since she had. writ
ten very appropriate exercise
that was nicely rendered by her
class. Rev. Kantner was then
introduced and for fifteen minutes
spoke to the scholars regarding
the teachings of Arbor day and
the many object lessons to be
learned from the trees. The pro-
gram was completed by singing
America IN which five hundred
voices joined making the old
school building fairly shake from
foundation to dome. An adjourn
ment was taken to the campus
where two trees were planted, one
in commemoration of their former
teacher, Miss Spencer, who was a
great favorite among the pupils
and the other in honor of Henry
W. Longfellow, whose poems are
read with so much delight both by
the old and young.

THAT ADULTERY CASE.
A Demurrer to the Indictment
Sustained. The State
Will Appeal.

The court room was we'll filled
last Saturday morning with an
audience of men who came to
hear the argument on the demur
rer to the indictment in the case
of the state VS.. j. M. ApplewhIte
and Lucinda A. Kenyon. None
of the racy facts which rumor
says will come out during the
trial, were alluded to by the at
torneys, but the splendid argn
ments pro and con of the motion
in hand held the attention of the
crowd. District Attorney Con-
don's plea was mastery and has
been the recipient of many COM
pliments. He reviewed the de-
cisions presented by Judge Bry-
SON for the defense. and argued
that in the Iowa cases the judges
apparently based their decisions
upon the presence of the article
1.-THE" before the words husband
or wife" in the first sentence of
the act in the criminal statute of
that state relating to adultery
which statute was identical in
wording with similar statute in
Oregon, until 1891, when our
legislature amended this law by,
among other things, ommitting
the word "the" and Mr.. @. claimed
that under the present law, the
husband or vile of either of the
guilty parties could prosecute
both. Judge Bryson maintained
that this construction was not the
proper one to place upon the
statute and so favorably impressed
the court with his able argu-
ment that the demurrer was sus-
tained in the following words:
'|These two sections have never been
passed upon or disposed of by the supreme
court of our state. There have been anum
Der of Iowa reports cited, constituting these
only be made by the husband "r wife of the
defendant. There does not seem to lie any
question about the construction of the Iowa
statntes. This statute has been construed
by the supreme court Of that state from
which our statute is copied running down
for forty years. and this court is not in
clined to place different construction
from that placed upon the statute by the
demurrer and proceed to trial would certain
ly be assuming grave responsibility know.
ing that the case would be carried to the
supreme court, and would be incurring an
expense 1t can now he tried
with but very little expense upon an ap-
peal and this court does not feel warranted
in overruling the demurrer.
That ground for the demurrer
was based upon section 1859, of
Hill's code, which is as follows:
ga prosecution for the crime of adultery
shall not be commenced, except upon the
complaint of husband or wife, or (if) the
crime be committed with an unmarried fe-
male under the age of twenty years, upon
the complaint of the wife, or of parent
or guardian of such unmarried female, and
within one year of the time of committing
the crime. or the time when the same shall
come to the knowledge of such husband OF
wife or parent or gurdian. When the crime
of adultery is committed between a married
woman and an unmarried man, the man
shall be deemed guilty of adultery also, and
be punished accordingly"
w. S. McFadden appeared for
the defendant, Mrs. Kenyon, who
was releasedfupon the motion of
the states attorney to enable her

 The action of the board of education recently taken, which has for it's ob- ject the erection of marble tablet in the. new Boardman Manual Training school bearing the names of the board of education and the architect, has ex- cited some comment. Many believe that its cost should not come out of the dis trict, but should be paid for by the board themselves if they desire such a tablet. There are only two other tablets in the school buildings of New Haven, one in the high school in memory of Hillhouse, who built the building, and the other in Welch school in memory of Harmanus Welch.

It Will Not Prevent the Electric Road Fin

 Derby, July 19.-The notice given by the counsel of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford Railroad company of an appeal to be taken from the decision of the judge who dissolved the injunc- tion restraining the Derby Street Rail- way company from crossing its tracks on Bridge street, will not delay the building of the road in the least. Sup erintendent Potter went to New Haven Tuesday, saw the officials, and they promised to place the crossovers in position next Sunday if possible. The stret railway will push the work, and if the railroad company gets the cross- overs in place it will be but a few days before they get through Bridge street. Arguments on the appeal will not be | heard until next November, and in the meantime the company will run it's cars | through Bridge street, though If the l decision of Judge Prentice should be re- l versed they would have to take up their tracks later.t They are SO confi- dent that this will not be done that they are willing to assume the risk | and go ahead with the work. In consideration of the putting in of these crossovers, Judge Hall demanded and was promised 8 paper setting forth the fact that the railroad company waived none of its claims by co-operat- ing in the work, pending an appeal to the supreme court. This paper was prepared by Attorney Williams and was taken over to Judge Hall. g.-
 Should the crossovers be laid on Sun day next, 1t is possible that two con struction gangs will be set at work next week, and the track extended to Division street as soon as possible. Superintendent Pdtter thinks the cars will be able to begin running over the hsat line in about threo weeks. 4 j.
