The
Art OF
Seil-
Defense.

The popular idea expressed in the
phrase, "the art of self-defcnse," shows
the opinion that the chief enemies man
has to defend himself from are visible
and external. But the real danger of
every man is from minute and often in
visible foes In the air We breathe and
the water we drink are countless minute
organisms leagued against the health of
the body.
The one defense against these enemies
is to keep the blood pure, DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery thoroughly
purifies the blood. removing poisonous
substances and accretious. When the
blood is pure there is no harborage for
the germs of disease which find lodg-
ing only when the blood is impure and
corrupt.

POLICE COURT DoINGs.
Theft Cases Brought Before Judge
 Peasley This Morning.


 Judee Peasley held city court this ,,,o,rino Andrew Burns was found Inv Officer Bailey last evening sleeping on a lawn on Holmes avenue. He was finad S- and costs. John Horan was charged with theft of a number of sheets and underwear valued at $3. the nroperty of Mrs NJ. Guerrero of J2 Ca nal street. Louis Raffel figured as the Sherlock Holmes in this affair. Raffel saw the goods under the man s arm and divined he had not come by them honestly. He questioned him about them. there was q short tussle and the man dropped the bundle and ran. Later he was arrested. In court the man said he was wearing the clothes he had in the bundle. Here was mystery. The last seen of them was in d newspaper lying on a sidewalk, yet the man testified he had them on. This point was not solved by the amateur detective. nevertheless Horan was sentenced to thirty days in jail and fined s and costs
 Annie Smith was charged with shop lifting ill Miller X Peck's store yester- day. In the excitement of the mo- ment of arrest the woman gave sev- eral names and did not seem to know what name she had given. However. that did not make much difference. it was not so much her name as herself the law was after. She pleaded gull fy to theft of fur muller or boa from .. FOrman's store on South Main street and number of wooden gloves. silk handkerchiefs and. handkerchief holder from Miller X Peck's store. The goods were identified by E. R. Single ton, who said they were worth about g. retail price The accused told a long story. Ten years ago she said she came to town with her family from AnsOnia. To within the past few years she lived on Hospital ave nue- Then her family broke up and her sOn-in-law made things disagree able. She said she had been earning a living as q general worker. As for stealing the goods referred to. she said she did not know what she was doing. She has been so upset by trouble. At fOrney Guilfoile said he was asked by Judge COwell to state for the woman that she had been his housekeeper for some time. Sue was an honest wo- man. but nine years ago she had the misfortune to imagine herself in Dr Barber's house and refused to leave without the interference of an officer. A representative of Miller X Peck whispered to the court good word for the accused. blissfully unconscious that he was trying to bias the judge. There were two counts for theft against her and she was fined 8 and costs on each.

If there are any kicks coming they should come from Springfield and not from any other city in this or any oth- er state. Take Manager Connor's rec ord in the State league and how many managers have beaten or equaIIed it? de won the pennant one year. was a close second the next year and the fol. lowing year was in the lead LID to July when his pitchers were hurt and his feam became demoralized. The next year the patronage did not warrant him in getting together q. winning team. Even when he had champions he did not get the patronage he should. He 1s getting the backing now of some of fhe most influential business men In Springfield. The papers up that way all speak highly of him and if ths Springfield club is not found in tbe first bunch then it will be surprising. Bristol has no kick coming She anight have made business good for one other team in the league. perhaps dwd teams. but the great majority of the teams had to suffer The change was made for purely business reasons and while we would like to have seen Bristol retained. yet we think the best arrangement was made. Roger Con nor will be a power in this league this season and stick pin there and re. member 1t.
 Both Roger and Joe left for Spring field this afternoon and they will com plete the arrangements for the open. ing of the season. S1.OO0 will be spent on the baseball park alone and that does not look as if it was mis- take to put team in Springfield and put the old veteran in charge. He did not have to he provided for. for any of the teams in the league could rse him and use him at big salary.
