Waterbury Superior Court--Judge George
 w. Wheeler

Waterbury Superior Court-Judge George W. Wheeler.
 The civil term of the Waterbury su- perior court opened here yesterday morning with Hon. George w. Wheeler of Bridgeport on the bench.
 The first case taken up for trial was that of the West Side bank of Water bury against c. Art Ward of that city. The suit was brought to recover on a note of $95OO held by the bank, secured by property belonging to Ward. The loan was made by Gordon B. Law renee, former treasurer of the bank, who resigned his position on account of the involved condition of his affairs. Ward claims that he never received the full amount of the note, and sets forth in his defense that he and Law renee had an arrangement whereby he was to receive the money in install- ments. He admits having received about ST. 800.
 The bank is represented by Attorney Bronson and the defendants by Attorv ney O'Neil.

After three hours debate on the reso- lution providing for the appointment of a commission for the revision of the const titution the vote on the matter was postponed until tomorrow morning at Il o'clock. Judge CowelI of Water bury made this motion and it was sec onded by Stiles Judson of Stratford. These two republican leaders were very much afraid that they would not be able to control a majority of the house if the matter came to a vote this af- ternoon, as some of the republican members seemed disposed to oppose MT Judson's motion and the whole matter be postponed until special session in January next.

Court Notes. DECISION IN THE ALLEN DIVORCE CASE.

 DECISION IN THE ALLEN DIVORCE
 CASE
 Judge Prentice, before whom the di- vorce suit brought by Emma L. Allen, the well known elocutionist, against her husband, George M. Allen, was contest ed, handed down his decision in the case yesterday.
 He denies Mrs. Aliens petition for a divorce, dismissing the writ on the ground that she failed to establish her allegation that her husband had been guilty of iftolera'ble cruelty towards her. The court also finds that the charges of infidelity set up by Allen in his answer to his wife's complaint were not proven. This is a decision against her, both as to the divorce and the cus- tody of the child

A S trenuous and Severe Conflict

From the Philadelphia Pre>s.
The conclusion was not reached
without a strenuous and severe conflict.
As the result of that tremendous and
earnest struggle the victory remained
with Senator QIay. In the end it Wa
clear and uumiStakahlc. Let it be free
IL and Unreservcdly acknowledged.
Twenty-fOur hours before the eonven-
ton met Governor Hastings, on dis
tinet pledges and ASSURANCES, had a
majority of the delegates. But il Is the
heaviest artillery on the day of the bat
tie that counts, and senator Quay,
with his great resources, succeeded in
overturning that majority and making
one of his own. The vote on tempOr-
ary chairman was the crucial test, and
the nominal majority was thirty. OF
this number six We're contestants who
had no valid claim, but who came in
under the compromise. R.dIcing the
analysis to its plainest terms, Senator
Quay had twelve more than One-half
the convention. IL was enough, and
when il became clear it settled the
struggle Senator QIay had won i'm
the greatest battle he has ever fought
with the most prOlisiOIs effort he has
ever put forth agIinst the most fOrmid-
able opposition ne has ever encOunt-
erad.

be frightened into fit by the mere
suggestion of burglar.
As it happened, Mr.. Post was awak-

flashed in his face, and opening his
eyes he saw a man standing over him
with black mask on and a revolver in

Only A Hayseed.

When the conductor came through
the train after ne had left Tecumseh
he was surprised to see the same man
sitting complacently in the same seat
"Ticket," said the conductor.
Haven't got any" said the man.
"Then you'll have to pay" said the
conductor.
Cant do it, said the man.
"Then I'll have To put you Off" said
the conductor.
'What, right out here liz the eoun-

piled the conductor.
\ great many of the other passengers

the punch. There was another mo-

said.

that he gut OFF and stayed off.

The Cigarette.

a careful chemist recently made an
analysis Of an ordinary cigarette. This
is the result: "The tobacco was found
to be strongly impregnated with
opium, while the wrapper, which was
warranted to be rice paper, was proved
to be the most ordinary quality of pat
per, whitened with arsenic. The two
pOisons combined were present in suf-
ficient quantities TO create in the smok-
er a habit of using opium without be-
ing aware of il, his craving for which
can only be satisfied by an ineeSSant
consumption OF cigarettes" These
facts ought 10 be sufficient to stop the
manufacture of the deadly thing, and
all men who are victims Ofthe cigarette
should be filled with alarm. Bat man
ufacturers will continue TO turn out the
poisonous little roll by the ten thou
sands, and the smokers by the thou
sand will smoke-smOke until they are
dead.

Care of a Bicycle.


Use plenty of good oil. There are
l00 kinds on the market, bat il all
comes ont of the same barrel There
i, however, a difference in oil, but the
worst Of it il better than none. For a
ball bearing the oil should be Thin and
of quality which will tend to eyaPor-
ate rather than gum" Don't get the
absurd idea that You will injure your
bearing by too much oil. OF course,
''euOugh i a. good u "A feast" But
you cOdldn't injure the bearing if You
used a quart OF oil on il each day.
ANY oil Is very injurious to rubber,
and the principal danger from over
doses Of oil i tlIat il may run down on
the tire. \ machine which has been
standing through the winter wants
cleaning. Ifyou are an expert and it
will do you any good to take the bear
ings apart, do it, but it won't do the
bearings any good.
Take out the saddle rod and pour a
tablespoonful of the common, everyday
servant girls delight" by dealers
called Kerosene oil, into the hole where
the rod was. In nearly all machines
the opening through the saddlepOst
tube communicates directly with the
inside of the crank shaft bearing, and
hence the kerosene viii ran directly on
the shaft.
OF course, If your frame isn't built
that way don't do it, but squirt the oil
in through the oil hole. Having filled
the bearings with the deadly kerosene,
spin the shaft until the oil which runs
out i no longer black il may be nee
essary to repeat the. operation two or
three times-then wipe the parts thor
oughly, applying a few drops of your
regular oil, and the bearing will be all
right.
Clean the bearings in the wheels the
same way, except that greater care
must be taken To avoid spelling the
tire.
The safest way after drenehins the
bearings and running them thorough
IN is to lay the machine on its side un-
| til the kerosene has run out, which IL
will do in few minutes, though if You
can leave it in a reclining position over

The Word Gentleman.
From Harpcr's Bazaar.


There are two great defects in the
working of the English theory that a
gentleman must never, under any cir
cumstances, have worked with his
hands. The first is that it handicaps
every one who has so worked, and
makes il harder for him, even in the
American sense, to be a gentleman.
People are very apt to be what is ex-
pected of them. Assume that whole
class will be clowns, and they are more
likely to be so; assume that they are
to be gentlemen, you remove half the
obstacle To their success. Hence much
of the fiexibility of the American char
acter. Its ready adaptation. Since it
made no difference to anybody else
that Whittier had been in youth a far
mer's boy i'm summer and i'm winter Il
shoemaker, il made no difference to
him, and nobody stopped to ask
whether he had sustained i'm childhood
the same refining influences with
Longfellow and Lowell. In New
York, in Washington, one often en-
counters men who have i'm early life
worked with their hands. In England
these men would have carried for life
the stamp of that experience-some
misplaced h, some Yorkshire burr,
would have stamped them forever. In
America the corresponding drawbacks
have been efiaced and swept away.
No doubt climate and temperament
have something to do with this differ
ence, but the recognized social theory
has more. 1t grows largely out of the
changed definition of the word ''gen-
tleman." In America the changed
definition has let down the bars. The
word gentleman" denotes class that
is henceforward accessible to merit.
The other defect of the English
standard is that it pepetuates, even in
side those who rank as gentlemen,
perpetual feudalism, a wholly artificial
standard of social subordination. This
lasts even to the present time. In the
autobiography of Anthony TrOllOpe
there is an especial chapter on the
question, 'How literary man should
treat his social superiors"-a chapter
which is, 10 an American literary man,
first ludicrous and then pathetic.
Walter Beseant, i'm his "Fifty Years
Ago" enumerated the list of eminent
authors and scientists of the Victorian
period, and pointed with pride to the
fact that they had nothing to do with
the Court of Victoria. Now that he
has been knighted, he is described as
wearing his title with an exaltation
that rather amuses his friends. But
the crowning Illustration of the curious
attitude given by belated feudalism to
the author is To be found in the lately
published letters of Sir Walter Scott.
They are delightful in all respects but
one-the absolute self-subordinatiOn,
the personal prostration, with which
he writes to every titled nOnentity
about him. Men younger than HIM
self, now utterly unknown to the
world at large, were treated by this
leading Scotch intellect of his day as if
they conferred honor by letting him
write to them; and the very grace and
naturalness with which it is done
shows how ingram il Is.

Publicity.

From Harper's Bazar.
Newspaper notoriety has a peculiar
charm for large number of people.
The mere fact of seeing their names
printed-really printed in a real news
paper-gives them kind of satisfaction
that they can not obtain in any other
way. The love of newspaper notoriety
seems to be born in people. Ii is not
acquired, for you find it in the young
sters whose age would permit them to
have gotten no farther in the vanities
i'm this world than faculty for swear
ing. A newspaper reporter under
stands this vanity ofpeople better than
any one else, for he haSto deal with it
continually. And it would he very
dull man who would not be able to
turn it to his advantage very often.
The other day fond father who Ia
bors upon daily newspaper of Pitts
burg went home to find his young
hopeful son about to engage in Il fist
fight with n youngster of the neighbor-
hood. He did not stop to question the
right or the wrong of the quarrel, for,
his perception being naturally quick,
he saw that his sons opponent had by
far the advantage of his adversary in
size and muscle. In fact, he saw that
his son was in fair way to be made to
do the duty of street sweeper. OF
course it was his duty to stop such
disgraceful proceeding as a street fight,
especially under the circumstances
mentioned. But his interfering with
the would be fighters in no way APP
peased the wrath or the thirst for gore
of the large boy. For, as he moved
away, the big fellow turned and said:
''Never mind, Bill, I'll lick yer into
jelly when yer pops not around"
This made the parent little anxious,
as he knew that an onslaught meant a
sure victory for the other side, and as
he could not be around always to pro-
tect his son he took advantage of the
knowledge OF human nature which his
profession had given him.
A crowd of young boys had gathered
around to see what they thought was
going to be fight, and as one of the
antagonists, after being interfered with,
walked away, their faces assumed looks
of disappointment, but the father soon
frightened them up.
"Say boys" said he, "do you want
your names to he printed in the paper?"
Immediately chorus of ''You bet L
dos" greeted him.
"Well," continued the father, ''if you
boys will band together and see that
that big fellow doesn't lick Billy l will
put every one of your names in the
paper tomorrow morning"
This is why one of the morning pa
pers published the next day an item
which ran: ''The Blank Athletic club
was organized yesterday. The princi-
pal members are -" Then came all
the names of the boys who had sworn
protection to the newspaper mans son.
