HE VANISHED.

His name was Bill Winters. He was tramp printer. He was also a genius in his way. Technically he was what is called a panhandler; that is, his arm was the handle and his hat was the pan. In his hat was always a union card. The card signified that he was a member of the Panhandler's association. He came into the composing room of one of the local papers and commenced the panhandling act. He was success ful in soliciting enough funds to buy a cheap dinner. Not satisfied with his rake off he made bold to tackle the foreman. His scheme was to play deaf and dumb. The foreman was busy on one of the forms. It had just come from the stereotype department. It was hot from the steam of the drying table. The panhandler made the deaf form and advanced his hat towards him. About this time the eyes of all the office were focused or him. The printers were curious to see if the old man, the boss, would chip in to help poor old dumb printer. The boss put his hand in his pocket. He was un- doubtedly getting ready to deliver, But just at that moment the make-believe dumb man touched the hot chase His hand was slightly burned by the heat whereupon he gave yell and emitted an oath which no deaf and dumb man could possibly give speech to. q thought you were blind?' shouted one of the printers and when the foreman reached out his hand to present the coin the figure which stood before him a before had vanished.

THE NUMBERING OF HOUSES.

To the Editor of the Journa! and Courier:
 I would like to offer, through the col umns of your valuable paper, a sugges- ton as to the numbering of the houses and stores in this city of ours. As many of your readers have doubtless found out at different times, great annoyance may be experienced at times through the slack system of numbering which at present prevails. Not only in many streets is the keenest search necessary in order to locate a desired residence, but in some hardly a pretence of num- bering the houses is made.
 In a growing city of the size and inn portance of this one of ours the citizens have at least right to expect that a uniform system be adopted in the num- bering of houses. In New York, Gin cinnati, Philadelphia and other cities the houses are numbered in a uniform manner-one hundred numbers to each block-and such a plan adopted here would, at little expense, do away with a decided nuisance. ss

HORSE STARVED TO DEATH.

In the Woods, Entangled in His Har-
 ness and Exposed to the Weather.
 Bristol, April 10,-Boys came to po- lice headquarters yesterday morning and reported that they had found in the woods, near the railroad tracks in the "Hoppers," horse that was cast and helpless.
 Chief Arms took team and men and found the horse lying on his side and tangled in the harness and wagon so that he was unable to rise. The condi tion of the horse showed that he had been there several days. It was found necessary to load him into the wagon to get him to Bristol, where he died an hour or two later at Barnes stable. The description corresponded to team stolen from c. A. Sackett, Waterbury livery stable man, Saturday morning, April 1. He was notified and came to Bristol last night and identified the team as belonging to him. He let it at l o'clock Saturday morning to two Waterbury men, Snagg and Hennessy, to drive to Thomaston. The next morn ing it was found that saloon had been broken into in Waterbury and $53 stolen, and that the two men were wanted for the burglary. The theory of Chief Arms is that the men aban- doned the team on the Terryville road, at the Newman pace, to board west bound freight, and that the horse wan dered up the old wood road that leaves the main road at this place, crossed the railroad track into the "Hoppers" and fell at the place found, the road being very rough. Becoming tangled in the harness and wagon he lay there without food or drink for a week and slowly starved to death.

TORE DOWN RYAN'S BUILDING.

Merwin Who Claims the Land, Dam-
 aged Woodmont Property.
 Last Wednesday, at Woodmont, c. D. Merwin, formerly a resident of that place, now of New York, took upon him. self the work of tearing down an addi- tion to the cottage owned by William P. Ryan of Ansonia, and it is probable that legal proceedings will follow. Ryan had the addition built, last week, but his right to do so was questioned by Mer- win, who lays claim to the land on which the cottage stands. In spite of Merwin's objection to Ryan occupying any more land, the latter built the ad- dition, with the result that Merwin tore it down.
 Ryan is resolved that the addition shall be built and within a short time he means to finish what he has set out to do, he says. In tearing down the addition the old verandah on the cot tage was also demolished.

other officers of the Santa Fe rail-
road to secure more equitable
freight rates for Ration and to pro-
test against the removal OF the
railroad shops from Ration. They
were successful in their mission
for the railroad company promised
to adjust freight rates on an equit
able basis for Ration and assured
the committee that the shops will
not be removed from Ration" This
does not necessarily indicate that
there is no foundation for the re-
port that the shops here are to be
enlarged and La Junta made one

e,es.e. ou, food.

The doctors inform us that alum
is poison, and that alum baking
powders should be avoided because
they make the food unwholesome.
Prominent hygienists, who have
given the matter most study, re-
gard these powders as an evil that
should be suppressed by state ac-
ton. In Minnesota and Wiscon
sin alum powders are not per
mitted to be sold unless they are
branded to warn consumers OF their
true character, while in the District
of Columbia the authorities have
under the direction OF congress,
adopted regulations to prohibit the
use OF alum in bread altogether.
Are not the people OF other states
as well as those Of Minnesota and
Wisconsin, entitled to warning of
danger which is apparently men
acing them at close hand, and is
not the whole country entitled to
absolute protection, as the people
OF the District OF Columbia are pro-
tected, by Legislation which is en-
,ireiy prohibitive?
Until we can have protection in
the form OF a statute, how can our
state boards OF health, state ana
lysts or food commissions better
serve the public than by publish
ing in the newspapers from time to
time the names OF the baking pow
ders which they find to be made
from alum?
Meantime, il will aid the house
wife in designating the alum pow
ders to remember that all powders
sold at twenty five cents or less per
pound are of this dangerous class.
Pure cream OF tartar powders are
usually sold at from forty FIVE to
fifty cents a pound.
