SUPERIOR COURT ITEMs.-By agreement of counsel Alphonze DeCell pleaded guilty in the superior court at Holland Tuesday to an attempt at rape, and got of with 8 sentence of six months in jail. States Alt torney Reed said that owing to the fact that 1t was difficult to get the daughter to testify and the state could not compel the wife to give evidence against the husband, the complaint of rape and incest had been modified to an attempt, on condition that DeCell should plead guilty. Henry Frost pleaded guilty to breaking and entering Vernon dwelling house in the day time and was sentenced to three years in state prison. The cases of George Gelimas and Mary Ophrey, charged with breach of the peace, were nolled. Charles H.

MAYOR 0. L. HAYWOOD, of Norwich, was reelected on Monday by $40 majori- ty, gain of 131 over his majority in 1899. The entire republican ticket was reelected. The election was hotly con- tested, the democratic nominee being Dr. Patrick Cassidy. The Bulletin says:
 The vote Is deserved tribute to Mayor Hal wood, who ''has been tried but not found wanting" His administration was one of the most satisfactory in the his tory of his party, and it commended him to the republicans of the city of Norwich for their cordial and united support.
 This majority is recognition of the fact that no man could be more watchful of the city's interests, more enterprising within the limits of the appropriations, or truer to the wishes of the people, than Mayor Harwood. He has been 8 model mayor, and will be model mayor for two years to come.

sTArUARY IN WASHINGTON.

As a rule the report of the Secretary of
War deals with routine matters, and it is re-
freshing, therefore, to discover in it some
thing that concerns aesthetics, the more so as
1t relates to Washington. Secretary Lamont
suggests "that the President be authorized to
appoint a permanent commission, selected
from the citizens OF the country, and COM
posed of those lest qualified to pass upon
the matters of art involved, TO whom shall be
intrusted the duty of the selection of designs
and sites for future monuments at the Capital.
The present system Of many commissions
does not always produce the best artistic re-
suits"
The necessity for some such arrangement as
that recommended by Secretary Lamont has
long been patent 10 persons who have had an
opportunity to compare the character of mon
uments and their location in this city with
those to be found in other capitals. 1t can be
pleaded in excuse, Of course-and with per-
feet justice-that as a nation we are still
young and callow in the matter Of art and
lack the experience which centuries Of leis-
ure have given to the nations of Europe.
None the less the fact remains that some OF
the things in Washington which, by courtesy,
are designated as monuments, are veritable
Nightmares and, paradoxically speaking, ar
tistic denominations.
It may be well to permit them TO remain,
even if for no better purpose than that OF
serving as horrible examples to instruct the
sculptor of the proximate or distant future
what he should not do. Thus they might
even be made to supply an educational pur-
nose and future beauty be drawn from pres
ent ugliness.
Secretary Lamont's suggestion, however, is
emineutly proper and timely. and if Congress
has any appreciation of the beautiful in art
which. of course, may be violent assumption
it can do no better than give the President
the authority which will enable him to select
from among the real art connoisseurs of the
country a commission to select designs fol
statues and monuments. and pass upon theil
proper execution and location.

there until the foreman says:
''All right, Jack"
When the alarm rings Jack runs first to one
horse. then to another, biting at their hind

lows the engine, and when the scene of the
fire is reached is the first to dash amid the

BPITEsH DIPLOMACY.

The Nicaragua incident has once again
given the world an insight into the methods
that distinguish the manipulations Of Great
Britain's diplomacy. clustering, bullying,

John Bull always has an eye 10 the main

the remainder Of the universe. As matter of
fact, though at times it appears as if he did
not think so, there are some people in the
world that have some rights which even old
John Bull ought to respect. Now and then
he discovers that he can be made to respect
them.
This Nicaragua affair was Of special i'm
portanee to Great Britain; not as much in the
present, perhaps, as in the future. She had
her eye on the great interoceanic canal, and
It was the control Of that she hoped to secure

AMERICAN CHAMPAGNE.

How the Festive FiZz Is Manufactured in
This Country.
The building of A B. & Co. is on the shore
Of the lake, and being constructed Of huge
blocks OF quarried stone looks like q media
val castle. says Popular Science Magazine.
The outside gives one little notion OF the
size and capacity Of the establishment. There
are fourteen separate vaults or cellars and
three extend far under the hill. Together
they are 1872 feet long and los feet wide.
Stored under the ground are 1000, 600 bottles
of champagne made by the French method
j. g.. by fermentation IN the bottle.
You enter; the nostrils are tickled with the
odor of the wines. You see the watts heaped
full with the luscious grapes; the two double
wine presses are working and squeezing out
the life-blood of the berries; the liquid stream
is pouring into large tanks; the men are bare
armed, their hands and faces smeared with
red stains-You see this and can imagine
Bacchus and his merry crew holding high

This new wine, or "must" after it deposits
its lees in the course Of few days, is run
into casks holding from :, 900 to 1000 gallons
each. Here it remains for six or eight weeks

fermentation Then it is racked of into

the right amount of saccnarine matter, SO as
TO cause neither too much nor too little effer-

dull. fiat. and insipid.
Thus the cuvee is effected. Think Of the

put into casks, in which il undergoes the
process OF hning, and then it is ready for
bottling. After being bottled the wine is kept
in a semi-warm room until fermentation IS
well begun. The bottles are then carried to
the deep, cool vaults, where they are packed
in horizontal layers, making pile four or five
feet deep and twelve or fifteen feet long.
Thus the bottles remain until the wine within
is fully ripe-a period OF from twelve to
eighteen months.

NEW KIND nF BOYCOTT.

The boycott in its connection with and
effects upon the industrial life of the country
may be said to have passed out of existence,
but, strange TO say, it ''bobs up serenely" in
another direction and vexes the soul of Post
master General BisseI.
In his annual report Mr.. Bissell devotes
two-thirds OF a page to it. According to the
head of the Post-oflce Department this is a
combination of the boycott vulgus" and the
boycott officials" 1t is all the more dan
gerous than the ordinary, everyday article
in that it affects both the revenues of the in
dividual postmaster and of the government.
Mr.. Bissell condemns it as ''pernicious, and
declares that "it should be suppressed" 1t
may be Of interest II look little more closely
into this "fin de steele" boycott.
Well, let US suppose that here is Post
master Jones, Of Jones' Cross Roads. He
has to support not only the dignity of his
Office, but family as well, and the revenue
he derives from the sale of Uncle Sans
stamps forms a modest, but to him none the
less important, item on the credit side of his
ledger Now, say that the revenues OF the
post-of1ce of Jones Cross Roads are s2.6S
per annum (they might be less. but let US be
be liberal).
1t happens that Postmaster Jones in dis
pensing his unofficial wares. such as coffee
or calico or shoe strings. has given ofrense to
Mrs Smith, or in refusing credit for a scent
drink has made an enemy Of Brown. Forth
with Smith and Brown conspire together
darkly. They manage to gather together the
letters TO be sent abroad by some half dozen
or so Of the inhabitants of tho village, go to
neighboring Bungtown and buy stamps there.
Thus is the revenue Of the post-ofice at
Jones' Cross Roads reduced to perhaps 81 "a
per annum, and Jones finds himself face to
face with despair or something equally un-
pleasant.
1t must be quite clear to the people of the
United States, who love fair play above all
things, that this sort of business cannot be
permitted to continue. Congress must tackle
this latest boycott and demoIish it. Tariff,
finance, the silver question, coast defenses,
and all the rest of the minor things can wait,
but the post-of1ice boycott must be attended
TO forthwith.

TIE TIMES complies with the request Of
Mrs. CLEARWATER to stop her paper. and here
after she will not be osended by seeing ad-
vertisements CT Blatz beer or any other kind
Of beer in the columns OF the liveliest and
most progressive paper published in Wash
incton. But unless she ceases TO rea4 the daily
papers in the future and thereby remains in
ignorance Of what the wcrld is doing in the
way Of progress and how men and women,
mainly through the agency Of the daily news
paper, are being made better, her eyes will
probably be offended by falling upon adver-
tisements Of beer, even if she does not see
them in TEE TINES.
During the short time The TINES has been

possible to stand for all that is good and

ingly accepts any improper advertisement or
prints an article in its news columns which it
believes would have an evil effect. II is one
Of the functions Of a newspaper to advertise
people who are engaged in a legitimate busI-
ness. and so long as governments, and States,
and municipalities recognize the manufacture
and sale Of beer and other liquors as legIti-
mate no fair-minded, honest person ought
TO find exception with daily newspaper for
publishing the advertisement Of a manufac-
turer or seller Of beer. TEE TIMES aims TO be
fair in all things and to treat all persons, and
classes. and Interests with impartiality. 1t
has published and will continue to publish
the reports Of the doings Of the anti-Saloon
League. Just as in the same way it has pub
lished and viii continue to publish the
doings Of liquor men or any other class Of
persons engaged in a recognized business.
That is the duty Of a live newspaper, and that
is what TIE TIMES claims TO be.
The trouble with Mrs CLEARWATER and a
few other persons OF her class is that they
take narrow view OF life. They would like
to revive the pains and penalties Of the In
QUESTION so far as the liquor dealers are con-
cerned, and consign every dispenser and
drinker Of beer to the rack and the stake.
But the Inquisition did not succeed in con-
verting men. and such methods, if followed
to-day, would accomplish nothing. Men and
women must he won over by an appeal TO
their moral senses. not by compulsion. II re-
