SUNDAY CLOSING.
Legal Fight on the Matter Likely in
 MiddIetoWn.

s
 Middletown, June 5.-What is thought to be the beginning of lively war between the confectionery afli. fruit dealers on the one side and cigar dealers, druggists and ice cream and soda water sellers on the other was started tonight by the arrest of three and fruit dealers on Main street for keeping their places open on Sunday They were John TonsiIlo, A. Xenilfs and Peter Pantilokos. They secured bonds and were released. They have secured counsel and propose to make theirs q test case. Their conten- ton is that they have as much right 10 keep their places open as druggists. to- bacco dealers and others who sell soda and ice cream. On the way to the po- lice station PantiIol1os bought, cigars at the drug stores of John Pitt and b c. Tyler. These are expected to figure in the case.
 They asked the prosecuting attorney oyer a week ago to be allowed to keep their places open Sundays, but pernlis- sion was not given. They kept open last Sunday, however, and were not molested. The police have been goinc principally on the plan Of non-interfer- ence unless a complaint is made. Dur ing the week complaint was made and these men warned not to keep open yesterday. Their disregard of th., warning resulted as already told.

POLICE COURT DoINGs
Girl Fined $5 and Costs for Theft of
 Money.


 The presence of a large crowd of City hall officials in the city court room this morning indicated that something of an unusually attractive nature was to come up. It was after o'clock be- fore Deputy Judge Peasley in the ab- sence of the other judges took his place on the bench, There was only one case to be disposed of but that was the magnet that had attracted the large crowd.
 Ida Harper, who said her age was seventeen years was charged with theft of $1 from the house of City Sheriff John w. Mcdonald on Walnut street Attorney Phelan was appointed the girls guardian Mir Mcdonald stated that three weeks ago in response to an advertisement for help in his house, his wife being i'll, the girl was engaged While the body of the sheriff's wife was in the house awaiting interment and when numerous visitors, friends and relatives who had come to pay their last respects to the departed, were guests of the house. member of the family complained that petty thiey- ing was going on. One guest on reach
 
 train for home found her poclzetbook was gone. Similar instances of incon- yeniences were experienced by other guests. At length trap was laid for the thief. Money after being marked was placed in q pocketbook. Then the girl was sent to the room where the purse had been put to fetch shawl. After delivering the shawl the pocket book was inspected and a marked bill was found gone. The girl was accused and she admitted the thefts. In all the sheriff testified that she must have taken about $f2 in goods and $6 in cash. When she was brought to task she was reading a novel entitled "A Crooked Path''s by well known au- thor. Mrs Thomas Donaldson, an agent of the Kings Daughters society spoke for the accused, who said her home was at 40 West Farm street. On the stand the accused admitted taking the money she was charged with having stolen. She did not appear to be aware of the stain conviction would leave upon her. In closing his testimony the sheriff stated that he did not wish the girl to be made an example of or any thing of that kind but such conduct as she was charged with should be stop- ped. She was fined s and costs, which amounted to $1o-25 and it was paid by Thomas Donaldson, husband of the woman above mentioned. MT Donald son was very angry because the matter was taken to court, but the sheriff si- |lenced him in moment.

MAcHINIsTs VIEW OF IT.
The Short Hour Day, He Says. Will
 Be a Good Thing.

Be a Good Thing.
 Editor of the Waterbury Democrat:
 Dear Sir: I have been closely fol- lowing up all that has been written and said on the nine hour day in an endeayor to find some reasonable and feasible argument against it. My eff forts so far have been futile, but at the same time must admit that many odious comparisons have been made with the existing conditions in Eng land. During the pending crisis we have been frequently confronted with the bogus statement that trade unions have ruined British industries. Some of the machinists now on strike would like to see this statement substantiated by facts and figures from board of trade returns or some other reliable source. l am myself q trade unionist of some ten years standing and am familiar with the situation in both countries, and so far as my experience goes l am perfectly Justified when I say the statements with regard to British depression are bogus ones.
 In the organization of which I am a member we number about 9O.O0O. In ordinary times, when trade is fair. we have an average of about 5000 unem- ployed. According to the last report just at hand the number on the unem- ployed list is down to 2,O63. These figures speak for themselves about trade depression in England But the fact that we have even the number of unemployed that we find is in itself an argument in favor of shorter working day..
 It has already been proved that in countries where the hours of labor are short there are less paupers and cri1n- inals. New Zealand has found this to be true. In fact, the eight-hour day is so successful in New Zealand that it is now under discussion to establish six-hour day. It is quite evident from what little experience that is ob- tainable on the matter that q shorter day always means a better product, During the past twenty years there has been complete revolution in ma chinery and methods of production. The increased output is enormous. But the workers have had little or no share of the improved condition of things, and 1t appears quite evident. never would have unless they organized and arranged to get their share by strike No one knows more of the i'll effects of a strike than. a trade unionist, espe- cially if he has had previous experi- ence. And the fact that we have to resort to such tactics in the twentieth century for the purpose of gaining little share of these improved systems of production does not speak favorably for the social economic condition of the times.

rRAMps, NOT BURGLARS.

Tariffville, June 3.-Three tramps who were found in a box car near near Granby station, Saturday night, were held on suspicion that they knew something about the Tariffville post office robbery of Friday night, but they proved not to be the men seen here Friday afternoon before the burglary. They were arraigned in the local court, however, and sent to jail for sixty days for tresspassing on railroad prop erty. The find of registered letter en- yelopes in Windsor this morning is not thought to have any connection with the postoffice burglary here, as it is not known that any registered packages were among the articles taken.

MOTHER GOOSE REpARrEE.

From the New York Evening Sun
The Little Boy had been trying to go
into vaudeville, with i'll success. and
he was obviously in fault-finding
humor as he sat under the haycock
with Bo Peep.
Il fail to see the reason why you
secure such widespread advertise
ment," he exclaimed, pettishly.
Especially retorted Bo Peep,
when you are so vigorously blowing
your own horn!'
You neglect your charges shame

"Oh, they'll all come home, like
your press agents, bringing their tales

HE WAS ACCOMMODATED.

From the London Tit-Bits-He was
dudish little man, but he had a loud
voice. and evidently wanted everyone
to know what he said. He and a COM
panion, who, be it said to his credit,
seemed ashamed of the company he
was In, stood in the hotel rotunda last
Saturday night. The little fellow was
talking about Ireland, and he said
many hard things about the country
and the people. A great big man stood
near by listening to the little fellows
vaporings. He merely smiled until the
little fellow said in very loud tone:
Show me an Irishman and I'll show
you coward"
Then the big fellow slipped up and,
touching the little fellow on the shoul-
der, said in heavy, bass voice:
whats that you said?"
L said show me an Irishman, and
III show you coward" said the little
fellow, whose knees were shaking un-
der him.
well, I'm an Irishman," said the
big fellow.
You are an Irishman? WELL" and a
smile of JOY fitted over the little fell
lows countenance as he saw a hole
through which he could crawl, I'm a
coward"

A DOG WHO DIDN'T GOLF.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
The first contest of the crack players
of a newly opened golf field out West
was sadly interrupted by the obstinate
conduct of a mean bull terrier. He
took possession of the second hole,
and defied dislodgment. AS he is a
robust terrier. with full set of large
and well preserved teeth, it was
deemed unwise to attempt to dislodge
him by force. Diplomacy was substi-
tuted, but it didn't work. He resisted
all the usual terms of endearment, as
well as the promises of tender steaks
and seductive bones. IN addition to
guarding the hole, he took possession
of a ball that happened to roll near
him, and which he worried from time
to time with low cultural remarks.
At last accounts the dog was still
holding the fort. and the discouraged
golfers were debating whether they
had better engage a skilled marksman
to shoot the brute or at once take
measures to lay out new golf field.

LOCATING THE ROBBERS.

From the ST. Louis Star-They tell
this story on James Fl. Cronin, speak
er of the house of delegates: The
other night Mrs. James H. Cronin was
awakened by some noise, and, after
listening for a time, became convinced
some one was in the Cronin home who
had no right to be there. Then the
lady proceeded to rouse James. 1t
took her some time, as that gentleman
was plunged into slumber fathoms
deep so greatly fatigued through hold
ing up the appropriation bill was he
But finally the shaking and the
voice of his better half aroused the
speaker, and sleepily he asked:
What's the matter?'
There's robber in the house.
Jim" exclaimed the wife. excitedly.
And then James rolled over, and as
he settled to sleep again he also settled
the question before the house by say
ing in half snore:
You're wrong. There's no robbers
in the house. All the robbers are in
the council"

CHINESE IN LONG Boards.
MonEolians Wore Whishkers, but DRY
shaving Ruined Them.


Shaving Ruined Them.
"Dry shaving has been n blessing to
China and in less than 300 years has
almost removed boards from the faces
of the men of the empire" observed
an intelligent Chinaman to reporter.
"Originally the Chinese had heavy
boards. This is easily verified by an
examination of any of the old prints
of Cinnamon, for all of them show
long bearded men. In time people
found that there was no particular use
for beard and that the wearing of il
was expensive, outside of the time
actually occupied in trimming or shay
ing it. How many Americans of to-
day are forced to spend several hours
a week in barbers chair? Many
men that l know, Americans and Eu-
ropeans as we'll spend twenty minutes
in the BARRIERS chair every day.
THE Chinaman of the olden times,
the kind of Chinaman who figures as
pirate in your prints, for the good
Chinaman never seems to have got his
picture in your books at all, until with
in the last fifty years at most. always
Wore a long beard in reality as well
as in the pictures. But even he found
out that there was no necessity for it.
The learned men of the empire were
asked to consider the matter and they
arrived at the conclusion that dry shaw
ing was to some extent remedy.
Anyhow, official edicts We're issued Civ
ing this information. The old fellows
who had boards of course We're not in
it and they lived out their days and
passed out of existence with full
boards. but the young men We're asked
to dr. shave Thus the reform start
ed and in five or six generations Of
people the beard had practically disap-
peared. so that the average Chinaman
to-day does not have to devote over
one-half hour in month to keep his
face hairless. In the next two gener-
atoms boards are expected to disap-
pear absolutely. 1t took time to bring
this about, but in the life of a nation
such thing as n century should not
be allowed TO count much. l think
boards would disappear from Ameri-
cans and Europeans in five genera
tions if the people wanted them to dis
appear
