Bridgeport, Nov. 8.--William Dover
of Fairfield was put on trial before JUS
| tice John Pullman, in the town hall
| there this morning, on the charge of
perjury. The arrest grew out of the
recent Law and Order league raids in
that town. He gave testimony at the
trial Of Duggist Kinsela in direct con-
tradiction of that given by the league
detectives. Attorney Bacon Wakeman
had charge of the prosecution, being
assisted by Secretary Thrasher, of the
league, and e. p Arvine, a prominent
New Haven attorney, who was employ
ed by the league. Judge e. s. Banks Is
defending Dover The testimony was
voluminous this morning and the lines
were sharply drawn, but nothing sem
sational developed. The trial was re-
sumed at 2:30 this afternoon and was
in progress late in the afternoon. John
Spicer, a prominent Fairfield man, was
also arrested with Dover on the same
charge, but his trial will not be reached
to-day. Kinsella was convicted of vio-
lating the liquor laws despite the testi-
mony of Spicer and Dover. His appeal
is now pending in the court of common
pleas

YALE FOOTBALL PRACTICE.
Getting Ready for the Carlisle Redmen
Saturday.

Getting Ready for the Carlisle Redmen
Saturday
Yale's active practice for the game
with the Redmen from Carlisle was COM
pleted yesterday, when Captain Brown
sent his players through twenty min
utes' play Again the eleven was sent
to work behind closed gates. The in
jury to Hale, which may keep him out
of the game entirely on Saturday, has
weakened Yale's attacking power so
much that the coachers feel that they
need to work out some trick plays in
secret practice to assure a victory over
the Redskins
In the opening practice the tackles
back formations were used almost ex-
clusively. In eight minutes play they
resulted In two touchdowns for the
varsity, Stillman and Fincke being
forced through the line for scores, The
second team rushed the varsity half
the length of the field Leslie Johnston,
the second teams quarterback, pass
ing every man on the varsity squad
except Wear, who brought him down
after thirty fve-yard run. Dick Shell
don was sent back to the scrubs and
the coachers now favor putting Rich
ardson into the game Saturday at right
guard.
Hale's injury will give Dupee chance
during the greater part of the game at
full-back. He is the only punter avail
able on the varsity squad. Another
change at the last moment will be made
by playing Rafferty, at right end in the
place of Coy. Rafferty, is captain of
the freshman eleven and has made a
remarkable improvement in the past
week.
Foster Sanford, the Columbia coach,
was here yesterday, but was not invited
to join the Yale coachers.

to supply the complete answer to such a simple
question as, Why is sugar sweet? The chem
istry of sugar gives perhaps a bare hint in the
way of explanation, but sweetness is undOubt-
eddy condition where constitution or structure
rather than percentage composition is response
bic for a specific physical property Smell is
related subject and at present we cannot tell
what determines the characteristic smell of
many familiar substances The chemical COM
position of turpentine oil of reyes is Identical
with that of good many other essential oils
that is to say, the percentage and kind Of ele-
would maintain for a moment that turpentine
or oil of cloves is pleasant oil of roses
We are dealing here with question which most
probably relates to the arrangement Of the
atoms in the mOlecule. Doubtless a difference in
the relative position of atoms determines great
difference N physical character In other
words. the elementary materials are the same
but they are placed, SO to speak, in such a way
in different bodies having the same composition
to present manifold shapes. a given struct-
ure, for example, may contain a certain number
of bricks and present an ugly exterior, but the
same number of bricks may be contained in
another structure which may present an artistic
and pleasing appearance.
Sugar is not the only substance known to US
possessing sweetness, but il is the only known
naturally occurring substance which possesses
this characteristic. Therefore it is not unCOm-
monty thought that when a substance is sweet
it must contain sugar. Such notion, of course
is quite erroneous. GlyCerine is sweet, but con-
tains no sugar; saCCharine is five hundred times
sweeter than cane sugar, and is definite chemi-
cal substance without a trace of sugar in its
composition. 1t is probable. however, that some
analogy exists between the structure of these
bOdies-that is to say, in the relative position of
the atoms-which determines the common prop
erty though in varying degree, of being sweet
1t is, at any rate, remarkable that according to

The officers of the institution believe however
that the works Of art and antiques are in no :
danger from fire The building is as nearly
hreproof as it can be made, and a recent inspec--
ton by committee of experts resulted in rel
