 The statue of freedom which sur mounts the dome of the capitol at Washington, receives. an annual bath of diluted su1phuric acid, but with shame it must be confessed that Connecticut makes no provision for bathing the genius that poses proudly, above our magnificent statehouse. And yet the fair dame is exposed to a daily shower of soft coal. smoke and the various gases that proceed from the building below would tarnish the complexion of any statue. Now that. the matter of Washington's treatment of the statue of freedom has been brought to his at- tention, the comptroller of Connecticut will doubtless direct that the statue of the genius of Connecticut shall have a bath at least once week, and the per son best fitted for the task is ltnques- tionably Assistant Superintendent John L.

The verdict of aequittal for the acz
 cused trolley strikers pronounced by a
 jury in the county court house on Lea venworth street, last night, brought
 joy not only to the hearts of the men
 accused, but to their mothers, wives,
 families and sweethearts and to thou sands of their friends who have stood
 by them through thick and thin. The trial has been one of the most stub bornIy contested that has ever taken place in the state. Tn the first place the whole power of the county, as we'll as the backing of the trolley company, aided by detectives and well known at torneys, was brought to bear on the case, with a determination that boded no good for the accused men unless they could prove pretty conclusively that they were not the guilty ones. Even the evidence of a man who claimed to be one of the assassins was secured, by a promise of poodle, twas said on the witness stand. And yet despite all this and before Jury aDour the selection of which there was some doubt, the strikers were declared not guilty and released. No one can say that the case was not fought out on its merits, and as the men are innocent, what other verdict could have been reached? The efforts to convict the accused were so great that no stone was left unturned, and, as one of the attorneys said. q drag4net was spread out so that If possible the men could be convicted of something. Attorney Williams, who is known as the lucky One'' in such cases, was brought here

The scene in the court house last night when the verdict of not guilty was rendered cannot be described Friends of the accused crowded about and hugged and kissed them. Attorney John O'Neill was there, too. and he came in for the Hons share Of the con- gratulations. He was cheered again and again and praises from counsel on both sides and the crowd present were hurled at him right and left.

COSTLY RATS NEST.
Railroad Tickets Valued at Nearly
 $500.

p5UUs
 J. A. Hollinger, city ticket and pass enger agent of the Iron Mountain Route, had costly curiosity in the shape of rats nest on exhibition at the Union state office yesterday. The nest was made of railroad tickets and mileage books of face value of near ly $500.
 About a month ago the bay window was taken out of the ticket office, and in putting in the new window a num- Der of shelves were put under the shelf in front of the window, they being closed by doors. On these shelves MT HollingeE had stored the various coupon tickets and mileage books.
 Neither the tickets or the mileage books are of arty value unless counter signed by MT Hollinger, or one of his assistants, and stamped with the of ! flee dating stamp. However, when they are furnished by the general pass eger department they are quoted at face value and the agent is responsi- ble for every ticket. When a supply runs out he must account for every ticket, either by sale or it's being void.
 Underneath this window shelf were stored several thousand dollars worth of blank tickets, among them being a package of "one-way'' St. Louis tick cts. This ticket is about ten inches long and three inches wide. There were also number of 1,O0o-mile mile age books. Yesterday Day Ticket Agent Wright sold the last of the St. Louis tickets he had in his case, and went in the shelves to get more. When he pulled out the bnuch of 100 he was mortified to see that all the lower half was gone from about half the package. Then he made an inves- tigation and found that five mileage books had also been partially destroy ed
 When he checked up he found that there had been destroyed fifty-one St. each, a total of $533 .46, and five 1,OOO- mileage books, of value of $50 each. or $250., total of $783.
 Mir Hollinger says this is about the costliest rats nest he has ever seen. Of course the tickets had no value un- til sold, and by making the proper re- port. MT Hollinger will be credited with the tickets destroyed by the rats. I1c SdyS LuSL luO THUS We're llOL CuCdEl ones, for they ran over a bunch of Hot Springs tickets, which are valued at but $1.7O, and made the rest out of the BIO tickets. He also intimates that the rats are from St. Louis, and gives as his foundation for this belief, that the rodents have been raised on St. Louis food and when they came to Little Rock picked out the St. Louis fare.
 The parts of tickets were collected in waste basket and will be sent to St. Louis for redemption.
 The rats are some of the breed that infest the old Union station and have made their homes there for many gen. erations. Passengers who have slept in the waiting rooms while waiting Cor the night trains allege that often they are awakened by rats scurrying across their feet, and if they happen to have a basket of lunch along, by the sound of theSbox or basket, as il is pulled from the seat to the floor by the rats. One yeracious passenger as serts that while sitting in the station he saw rat as large as a St. Der nard dog. And another, who verified 1 the story. added that the rat had horns. Gazette.
