HELLO ON SUSPICION.
Chelsea Men Tried to Dispose OF Bcy'
...ccIes 10 This CITY


clarence E. Smith and Daniel E. Per
kins. both claiming Chelsea as their
abiding place, were arrested about 4
o'clock THURSDAY afternoon, by inspect
ors O'Day, Stone and Fisher, on sus-
picion Of having stolen two bicycles,
which they were trying to dispose of in
this city.
Inspector Fisher approached the men
on Spring street and engaged them In
conversation, in the course Of which he
asked where they got the wheels. Per-
kins claimed to have owned his for
some time, while Smith said he had re
Gently traded with his brother-in-law,
who lives in Chelsea for his. The men
were thought to be Jail birds, and were
accordingly locked UP till something as
to their identity could be learned
The Chelsea police were notified and
asked to look up Smiths brother-in-law
The answer was that the wheels were
all right. Smiths brother-in-law said
he had taken some jewelry in exchange
for the wheel. 1t was also ascertaineo
that both men had done time in the
reformatory, Perkins having been re-
Gently released.
Word was received Later from the Bos-
ton police, saying that two bicycles were
missing in that city, and asking the 10
cal authorities to detain the men unit
an officer could be sent out to have Z
look at the wheels.
A Boston officer came to Worcester
Thursday night, and, after looking tht
wheels over, decided they were not those
missing from his city.

SLEEP.

There is a decided tendency in these
days-owing to the endeavor to get as
much as possible into our lives-to do
with less than a reasonable amount of
sleep. There are unquestionably some
teInperaments which do not require as
much sleep as others, but the average
woman of between twenty and fifty
needs, and should give up, eight hours
out of the twenty-four to slumber Too
much sleep is not advisable, but it is
better than too little. 1t Is a. bad plan
to go to sleep again after being called
in the morning at the usual hour; the
snatches of sleep obtained in this way
are not refreshing, and often result in
headache 1t is impossible to wake up
feeling thoroughly refreshed and rest
ed If the bedroom is not properly vent
Hated We require fresh air, even
more, If possible, at night, than we dc
in the day, and yet how many Of us
are content to sleep in an atmosphere
which is actually poisonous, for II the
air in our rooms is not kept fresh it
soon becomes poisoned from the car
bonic acid gas given out from our
lungs. Bad air will certainly prevent
our deriving the full benefit from a
good nights rest, and If we usually
wake with headache or a sensation of
lassitude after spending seven or eight
hours in unbroSen sleep, we may be
quite sure that our room needs ventil-
ating Sleeping in vitiated air, besides
seriously affecting the general health, Is
extremely bad for the skin.

HOW mo- BONE A TURKEY

Begin by cutting through the skin
down the centre of the back, and raise
the flesh very carefully on either side
with sharp knife until the sockets of
the thighs and wings are reached; then
with the point of the knife detach one
joint at a point where the legs join the
back; hold the end of the bone firmly,
and proceed to loosen the flesh on it.
still using the point of the knife, and
keeping 1t close to the centre bone un-
til the bones Of the leg can be drawn
out Remove the bones from the other
leg in the same way, and then turn your
attention to the WINGS which must be
dealt with as were the legs. The mer-
rythought and neek-bones should then
be removed, and the back and side
bones, without their being divided. Af-
ter the flesh has been carefully sep
arated from the breast bone, the latter
can be removed without much difficult
ty, and the bird must then be restored
to its proper shape by filling the legs,
wings and body with force-meat, after
which it should be sewn up and trussed
in the usual way.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER I, 1898.
THIRD DISTRICT POLZzIC.

ZHZKD I%OZZZZ(S.
Mr.. Charles Fontelicu is the Re-
publican candidate for Congress in
this district. Col. Breaux, of. La
fayette, who received the nomina-
ton at Morgan City. having de-
clined the honor of leading the Re-
publican hosts to defeat, Mr.. Fon-
telieu has accepted the nomination.
The sugar-teats met at 1hibodeaux
a few days ago and nominated Col.
Breaux. as their candidate, in the
hope that he would not refuse a
nomination from that wing of the
party, but we understand that al
though keenly appreciating the COM
pliment paid him by his Republican
friends the colonel will not run,
leaving the field open to younger
man with more ambition if not with
as much ability and experience.
1t has been reported to US that the
colonel aptly remarked':.that he..was
400 old to be crucified. The
colonel knows few things and one
of them is that the congressional
candidate in this district this fall
has as much show as a stump tailed
bull in fy-time. That fact has
been demonstrated upon several &C.
casions by Judge Beattie, ex-stand-
ing candidate of the g. O. p. The last
knockout blow administered to the
judge by "Bob" Broussard has for
ever silenced the congressional bee
which had these many years buzzed
seductive tunes into the ears of
the Lafourche gentleman. To para
phrase the sage of Buzzard's Bay
the judge is now contented to re-
main in ssinnoccuous desuetude"
having been fully satisfied that it is
impossible for him to break into
Congress.
Mr.. Fontelieu says that he will
wage vigorous campaign. That's
exactly what will suit the Demo-
cratic nominee. He knows how to
make things hum and there will
surely be hot time in the old
third this fall.
All indications point to large
majority for Mr.. Broussard, but
Democrats should all put their
shoulders to the wheel and make
the victory complete in every sense
of the word.

NOMZNd TIE GOOD MEN.

NOA1ZNd TIE GOOD MEN.
The judicial nominations recently
made by the Democratic conven-
ton held in New Orleans do not
meet with the approval of a very
large number of people in the Cres-
cent city.
The action the New Orleans De-
mocracy should serve as warning
to the party leaders throughout the
State. Whether it is the result of
too much power or not, it is an in
disputable fact that in recent years
the Democratic party of this State
has selected men for positions of
trust and responsibility without any
regard to their personal qualifica-
tons.
If those who are running the party
machine i'm this State are wise they
will exercise better judgment in the
selection of candidates. There is
an abundance of good material in
this State and there is no necessity
to nominate as candidates men who
are not recognized to be Democrats
of ability and probity. This ten
dency to nominate certain candi-
dates merely because they happen
to have s.pull," will, ifnot checked
in time, prove detrimental to the
welfare of the party. What has
happened in New Orleans is not
new in Louisiana politics. Good,
capable men are put aside to make
way for fellows whose fitness con-
sists of their ability to barter enough
votes to make a combination.
Political leaders should be made
to understand that the people will n ot
always accept their choice with the
meek submissiveness that they have
sometimes displayed in the past.
Nothing will destroy the Demo
cratic organization quicker than an
attempt to force down the threats
of the voters Objectionable candi-
dates.
If you want the people to vote for
your nominees, gentlemen, select
good mcn-honest and able-who
enjoy the confidence of the masses.
Otherwise some fine morning you
will be administered just and Sc
we're rebuke.
