The Turk and the Grave.

In Russia many Of the peasantry still
bury their dead in grottoes and caves,
just as their princes and noble men
were accustomed to do centuries ago
In Constantinople, as in other Turkish
cities, bodies are placed in the ground
as soon as the last spark of life has
fed. The Mussulman believes that as
long as the body is unburied the spirit
is in torment and that it is crime
akin to murder to modest a grave. Ac-
cordingly, the cemeteries around many
oriental cities far exceed in extent the
abodes of the living.

Development of the Walking Stick

Development of the Walking Stick.
Probably the patriarch's staff was the
first adaptation of the walking stick,
and from it's first inception to the pres
ent day it has undergone almost end
less changes. In 1701 footmen attend
ing gentlemen were forbidden to carry
swords, these being replaced by por-
ter's staff. Thirty years later gentle
men were forbidden to carry swords,
but allowed to carry large oak sticks.
Before many years vanished and pol
ished woods with ornamental heads
came into use and in one form or an
other have held their own in public
popularity.

His Chances Good for Getting Judge ship at Hartford.

His Chances Good for Getting Judge
 ship at Hartford.
 It is expected that the Hartford county republican legislative caucus to nominate police judge for Hart ford, says the Courant, will be called for January 2S. There is lively cam paign on between the advocates of Judge A. c. Bill, the present judge, and T. J. Garvan, whose friends are de- sirous that he shall have the office. The argument made for Judge Bill is that he has served eight years already and that he is therefore entitled to con- tinuance.
 The arguments against him are that for a long time back it has been the unwritten law that the occupant of the police judgeship should give it up after six years. This was done by his pre- decessors. In furtherance of this arg1- ment, those who favor MT Garvan as sert that Judge Bill himself was ready to quit and had his plans all made to shove Judge Freeman out of the pro- bate office, take that himself, and then retire from the police court. This pro ject failed to materia1ize two years ago when it was quietly worked, and met disastrous collapse in the last election when it was made a conspicuous issue They do net think Judge Bill should be kept in when he has tried to get out .. ,..s
 Edward T. Garvan of Hartford. who is the candidate of those who favor 2 change. is one of the most successful and enterprising young lawyers in tht city. He is a graduate of Yale anj son of ex-Senator Patrick Garvan. One argument advanced against young Gar van is that he iS 'Irish." He is nt | Irish descent. II is an old story of his father Patrick Garvan. that somehod7 once apnroached him and said: "Gar van. you're an Trishman, aren't vou?' To which Mr Garvan replied. F'I was an Irishman. hut now I am an Amori can" And All his many friends know him for oenrine American and al earnest and influential republican.

One Man Got Sixty Days and One Held

 The case against William Kelly for obstructing the trolley tracks last Sat- urday morning was heard by Judge Peasley in the city court to-day. Kelly is a teamster in the employ of the Chase Rolling Mill Co., MT SeWell' manager of the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Go, testified that he was on car coming up Bank street early in the forenoon of last Saturday ana that Kellys team was on the track 1n front. Repeatedly the gong sounded 7 to clear the way, but Kelly paid no heed to 1t until it was struck three times Then he seemed to make an eff fort to get out of the way, but the crowd--on the street shouted to him. saStax in! Stay in!'' and he remained Y on the Htracks until approaching Ex- change place. Officers Keegan and Hickey and Edwin U Lathrop corrobo- rated this statement
 Kelly, who was defended by Attor- .ney Guilfoile. stated that he was com ing from the Naugatuck freight depot with a load of metal that weighed 6200 pounds. His wagon or truck weighs 2. 2.600'pounds and this great weight conn., bined with the slippery condition of the streets made it impossible for his team to leave the tracks. Where it did leave E 1t the street was in fair condition and -ss the grade was downward. He did not hear the crowd shout to him and he made three efforts to clear the way but could not do it. Often he said he has blocked the tracks in the same manner when he had heavy load but nothing was ever said to him about it. It was simply impossible for him to leave the tracks he said, with any degree of safety to his team. He was sentenced to sixty days in jail. An appeal was taken.
 A case against Giovanni Rinaldo for theft of S72 worth of goods from the Adams Express Go was continued to to-morrow morning Attorney Gull foile represented the accused. He said the theft was principally the fault of the company. They left a parcel of 2 goods at the accused's house. He had been only a month in the country and S not. accustomed to it's ways when he found the parcel to contain just the things he wanted to start in to make his fortune, sheets. kettles and things domestic, he naturally thought some good angel left them for him.

FOR PROPOSED CLUBHOUSE.
Knights of Columbus to Form ;
 Building Association. ~

The committee consisting of mem bers from the local councils of the Knights of Columbus which has ill charge the plans for proposed club house for the local knights, has plan under consideration which is consid- cred very feasible. It has already been submitted at meetings of two councils and has met with much. fla vor among the members. The plan under consideration calls for the erec- tion of a four-story building. On the first floor will be two stores, while the second floor will be fitted up either. for offices or tenements. On the third floor will be the reading and club rooms and the fourth floor will be used as a hall and meeting room. In the cellar of the building will be a plunge bath.
 It is proposed to form Knights of Columbus Building association and to have it incorporated. It is intended to raise funds for the erection of the building by having members of the le- cal councils of the Knights oa Colum- bus or any member of the order throughout the country subscribe for shares of stock in the association. Each share will cost $25, twenty per cent of which will have to be paid at the time the stock is bought. The re- mainder will be paid in quarterly pay ments.
 The plan is only in it's infancy, but the promoters believe that it will meet with the hearty approval of every member of the order in this city. The committee also hopes that if the plan is accepted the members wfH show their approval by subscribing liberally for shares of stock in the new build l ing association. The committee has worked long and earnestly on this matter, has considered many plans and the above appeared the most feas- ible. Such club house as the one l proposed is much needed in this city. The Catholics of the entire city could then have nice place to entertain noted persons, as Cardinal Gibbons, whenever they should visit this city. It would be a great impetus to the growth of the Knights of Columbus | in this city and would bring into the order many young men here.
