CUT BY PRUNING KNIFE.

Summer Resident of Woodmont Had
 Close Call for His Life.
 Francis K. Benham of New Haven a summer resident of Woodmont, nearly lost his life Wednesday by self-inflict- ed wound on his left hand. MT. Benham was trimming up a tree with a large pruning knife used for the purpose, slipped and entered his hand near the wrist.
 Both arteries and all of the ligiments were severed and MT. Renham would have bled to death mad not pr. Fergu- son, the junior surgeon at the New Ha- ven hospital who happened to be in Woodmont, hastened to the assistance of the injured man and performed the professional duties necessary. Dr. Fer guson expected to try and get hold of the Regiments but owing to the advanc- ed age of the patient, it was not deemed advisable.
 MT. Benham will probably lose control of his hand for the rest of his life.

COOLING WATER IN NICARAGUA.
 ''They have" said railroad man, "a primitive method of cooling water in Mexico and Central America. The principal is perfectly simple, but there is a certain knack about the thing that I have never known a white man to fully acquire.
 When a native in one of the broiling hot little villages of interior Nicaragua wants to cool some water she fills a half gallon earthenware jar about two- thirds full. Parenthetically I say she because this is a task that requires more energy than any male Nicaraguan was ever known to possess. The jar is made of baked clay and, not being glazed, is partially porous and soon be- comes moist on the outside. Two leather straps are firmly attached to the neck, and. seizingA these iii her hands, she begins to rotate the jar swiftly in the air The mouth is wide open, but centrofugal action keeps the liquid from flying out.
 "The average native woman is frail and listless in appearance, but the en- durance which they exhibit at this sort of calisthenics is marvellous. It is about the same as swinging Indian clubs, and I am afraid to say how long I have seen them keep it up, lest you might set me down as a prize liar. Generally the lord and master lies in one corner of their 'jacal,' or hut, smok- ing a cigarette and watching the opera ton languidly. When the woman thinks the water is sufficiently cool, she stops with a dexterous twist of the wrist and hands him the jar.
 "Usually he takes a gulp, growls out, 'Moocha calora" which is native patois for blamed hot and she begins again, patiently describing pinwheels. I have never made test with thermometer, but assure you they can reduce tepid water to the temperature of very cool mountain spring; ;"-New Orleans Times Democrat.

IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
AUTHORITIES CLAIM LACK OF
 JURISDICTION
in an Interesting Cass-A nIan Named Taylor Seeks Custody of His Child Supply Company AssIgns-CreditOrs Act-Cify Court Cases.

The East Haven authorities have been requested to issue warrant for the ar- rest of an alleged kidnapper. but they deemed the grounds advanced such that they have no jurisdiction. A man named Taylor applied for a writ of ar rest. He stated that two years ago while residing here his little child, who was then four years old, was spirited away by his former wife. Taylor said he had obtained divorce from his wife two years previous. She had remarried and had taken the child to her home in Scranton, Pa. Recently the woman with her second husband and the kid mapped child had come to East Haven to reside. Their home is now on the road leading to East Haven river. He thought as their home was now in East Haven that the authorities of that town would grant warrant for the wOman's arrest for the offense of two years ago. Taylor was informed that the offense having occurred in the town of West Haven, the East Haven authorities had swear out a writ of habeas corpus and have the child brought to the New Ha- ven courts. Taylor seemed adverse to such procedure and 1t is expected that no further action will be taken.

ENGLAND's CoCKNEY TWANG.
More Common Among Young Than
 Among Middle-Aged and Old.

More Common Among Young Than
 Among Middle-Aged and Old.
 Among the evils of the world which the enthusiasts tell us education will most infallib1y do away with is that painful and inexplicable mystery the Cockney twang. But it is a remarkable fact that the well known Cockney habit of pronouncing as as is is much more common among the young than it is among the middle-aged, while among the veterans of London it is hardly known at all.
 One can talk to the average London workingman of 60 or 70 without detect- ing the slightest lapse into this dis tressing habit: indeed, the old London iworkingman talks very often in the grand style, with fine dignity of roll- ing syllables and a singularly clear enunciation. Among the middle-aged the twang is noticeable, but among the young it is obvious in every word they utter. Precisely the same may be said of the South London accent; it is not in the old suburban resident but in his sons and daughters, that we detect the evil.
 From this it would seem that the twang and the accent are both of recent growth, and, by the same token, that the present board schools are powerless to arrest their progress. Mr. Samuel Weller experienced trouble with his ws clipped his would" into "ud,'' and occasionally said COS" when he in tended to say "because." But he never spoke of 'lidy" and never said "abahrt." The origin of this modern twang is matter difficult to determine; the great thing is to arrest it's growth before it becomes universal.-London Globe.

DIED AT GRACE HOSPITAL.

Carmino Sicos End Came After a
 Night of Suffering
 Carmino Sico, who, as stated in this paper yesterday, was taken to Grace hospital late Thursday afternoon suf- fering from what was supposed to be an epileptic fit and perhaps as the re- suit of poisoning, died at that institu- ton yesterday morning. Medical Ex- aminer Bartlett was notified and con- ducted an examination but came to the conclusion that death was not due to poisoning, but he was inclined to believe that death was the result of natural causes as the man had been subject to head troubles. There may possibly be an autopsy on the remains.

OBITCARY NOTES.
Mrs. Joseph B. Baldwin.

Mrs. Cynthia E. Baldwin, widow of the late Joseph B. Baldwin, a long time resident of this city, died at the home of her son. Joseph c. Baldwin, in New
 York city, on the 24th inst. in the nine ty-third year of her age. Her health for some time had been such that the event was not unexpected by her fam fly and immediate friends. Up to the time of her retirement from her New Haven home, some seven years since, she was well known and greatly es- teemed by a large circle of friends in this city, where the most of her life was lived. Mrs. Baldwin was born in Ham, den, Conn.,, October 2nd. 1909, a daugh- ter of Elam Bradley, the sixth in his family of seven children and the latest survivor. The longevity of the fam fly has been notable. Mrs. Leonard Todd of Bethany, a sister of Mrs. Bald win, lived to her ninety-ninth year.
 The scholastic training of Mrs. Bald win was received at the Young Ladies' seminary of the Rev. John M. Garfield, in its day leading institution of New Haven. After her graduation she be- gan teaching in Virginia though she was soon recalled to New Haven to be the principal of the female department of the old Lancasterian school, estab- lished and conducted by John E. Lov- ell. The enthusiastic young school mis- tress was a pronounced success as teacher, yet she soon abandoned vo- cation for which she was well fitted and was happily married by Dr. Harry Croswell in 1893 to Joseph Beard Bald win, an enterprising and successful ar- chitect and builder. They celebrated their golden wedding in 1883 at their home in 1249 Chapel street. Along with a love of home and husband and chill dren Mrs. Baldwin's mental and physi- cal energy led her to engage in untiring labors where she was likely ito do good by helping and encouraging others, be- yond the limits of her own family, in good living. This extended life of broad activities and much usefulness was maintained by her with unwearied patience beyond the age of fourscore years. She was a true Christian wo- man who loved to serve God by serving her fellow creatures.
 Mrs. Baldwin is survived by two sons, the elder, the Rev. Leonidas B. Baldwin, rector of St. Peters parish, Easton, Md, and the younger, Joseph c. Baldwin, a merchant and business man in New York, also by four grand sons and nine great grandchildren.
