POLICE COURT DoINGs.
Unfortunate State of Affairs in the
 Leonard Family.

The folly of spending money on the heathen Chinee, the Indian and the Afghan is daily illustrated in the pro- ceedings of the city court, and espe- cially when the affairs of the well known and unfortunate Leonard fan- fly of North Elm street come up to pc settled. Two weeks ago Mrs Leonard was released from jail after spending a few months there. This mornluS she was sentenced again to ninety days for intoxication and breach oI the peace, the same old charges. A neighbor who witnessed the alleged disturbance was asked by the prose cutor if he knew anything about "thls woman.'' "Do know anything about her?'' he repeated. Alas" shakins his head. sstoo much know about her.'' And then he went on to teii that two weeks ago she came to toWli after being released from jail, and she has maintained constant uproar I'll the neighborhood ever since. Last night she first assaulted an electric light post. then called 1t names. sec ing the post take the assault lndliIer- ently, not Judging an inch, the woman tore her hair and started singing the aGirl | Left Behind Me" People thought she was crazy. A man coli- plained to Officer Bowling that she had chased him with a knife. Ihe woman's husband testified that she spends all his wages in drink. She came home from jail drunk and h'is been drunk every day since. While she was in jail he kept one, of his eight children home from school to take care of three others who are too young 10 attend school. Since their mother return these three children have to take care of themselves as best fhey can. In a general way terrible state of affairs was revealed to be eXist.ilg l in the Leonards' house. The woman was sentenced to ninety days. Judse

 Close contests resulted in every case when the annual elections of members of the senior class of the Yale Law school were held. At the meeting which was held in Hendri hall for the purpose of electing the editor of the Shingle and the various class commit tee, the election for the editor of the Shingle resulted in favor of o. o.

YALE STUDENT LUNGS.
Glass of 1905 Has Greater Lung Ca
 nacity Than Other Glasses.

nacltV i1uan3 OEHtE -IAtASoS7'
 New Haven, Dec 14.-Dr Jay w. Seayer, director of the Yale gymnasi- um. makes an interesting statement about the present freshman class at the university. He has just complet- ed the measurements and the physlcal statistics of the class and says that 1905 has a greater lung capacity than the members of any class at lale ln recent years. He finds that the aver age lung capacity of the class IS zoo cubic inches. This is inches more than the lung capacity of last years class. 1t is probable that the number of men using tobacco i'll the present freshman class is ten per cent smaller than for many years. The class con tains more athletes and some people believe that the fact that many stu dents give up smoking when they be- rin to take up athletic training and i'll many cases don't bother to resume smoking is one of the reasons for the smallness of the percentage of smok- CTS.
 Dr Seaver finds that the average age of the class is 19 years, 1 month, which is 56 days younger than the average of last years class. The average weight is 134 pounds, 6 pounds less than last year. The average height is 5 feet 7.S inches, or 4 of an inch less than last year. The average size of the chest when inflated is 35.9 inch es, the average measurement of the biceps is 114 inches, which is 7 of one inch smaller than last year.

COM WADHAMs TOMORROW.
Will Address the Mems Meeting at
 the Jacques Opera House.


 Commander Albion V. Wadhams of the United States navy, who comes to " aterDury tomorrow to address the mems mass meeting in the Jaculles opera house, is a man of national rep- utation. He was appointed to the United States naval academy in 1861 and graduated from there ill 1868. He las served on all our foreign and home stations and has visited thirty i've countries. His first sea duty after graduating was i'll the Pacific. After that he cruised on the China station for some years, and while there took an active part ill the COrean fights. During this cruise he was presented to the mikado, as the emperor of Ja- pan was then called.
 From 1884 to 1896 he was one of he officers stationed at the Washing ion navy yard that superintended the building of the first guns and car riages for the new navy. His next sea duty was again on the China station, when as flag lieutenant of the admiral n command of that station, he met many of the highest officials in China and Japan. During this cruise he was presented to the king of Corea.
 During thee Spanish war he was in command of the patrol of our coast from Mobile, Ala, to Mexico. Com lnander Wadhams's lectures and after dinner talks about the navy before many of the largest clubs and associa- tions i'll the country have received the most complimentary criticism. His vordl wide experience during his long seryicee gives him a fund of informa- ton which no other public speaker possesses This fact, with 3 distinct anunciation and voice of great range. makes Commander Wadhams one of the most popular public speak IFS of the day.
