Sir:--The most uncomfortable
time in the whole year, for house
holders, is from Sept. 18th to Oct.
Ist. The Steam Company ought
to begin furnishing steam on Sept.
18th, because the cold is increasing
from that date, and might quit on
the 18th of May, because the cold
is then decreasing. Persons heat
ing with steam are not prepared to
make heat for their houses for a
couple Of weeks and the whole
household, children and old folks
suffer for want of warmth. Can
we not have steam earlier2

JEWELRY CASE TRIAL.
Decision Reserved in the Case of
 Thomas C.. Lewis, jr

Decision Reserved in the Case of
 Thomas c. Lewis, jr.
 The trial of Thomas c, Lewis, jr., secretary of the George H. Ford com marked jewelry, was held in the crinli- nal side of the city court before Judge Bishop Saturday and decision was re- served. The defense claimed that the arrest of MT. Lewis was based upon misrepresentatio ton, and the exhibit used in evidence had been tempered with and doctored, and the whole fabric of the prosecution based upon facts that did rot exist.
 The law providing penalty for sell ing jewelry marked with a fake mark was introduced into the legislature by Frederick L. Tibbals of Milford, rep resentative of the town. who is treas- urer of the George H. Ford company
 MT. Lewis was arrested April 14, charged with selling an article of jew erly bearing a false mark. Late in De- cember Newton Dexter, the editor of a jewelry trade journal, started crusade in New Haven against the sale of art icles of jewelry sold in violation of this law.
 MT. Dexter submitted to the city at torney several articles purchased at various stores in the city, and which when assayed were found to contain less amount of gold or silver than the marks upon them indicated. The city attorney said that the matter was ser iOus, but he would not prosecute any case unless every dealer who sold jew elry was visited and articles secured from their stock for test. MT. Dexter said that although it would cost him a good sum in view of the fact that the specimens to be purchased were of prec- ious metal, he would do as the attor- ney said. He secured samples of the stock from fifty-eight dealers, including all the jewelry and department stores All were assayed and all found to be Us to the required standard except
