 Trolley Manager is Ill.
 Editor Evening Democrat:
 Is it true that MT Sewell is danger ously i'll with brain fever Such is the current report in circulation this morning. Please in your next issue let your readers know is this report correct or not. The cause of his ill- ness is said to emanate from his wor- ryingOver this strike trouble. 1t is to be hoped his illness is not of serious na- ture and that it won't be necessary to call in the clergy to administer the last rites of the church. The clergy are not on very friendly terms with him at present, owing to the reception he gave them recently. The stubborn example he, set them and his refusal to yield an inch may cause them to treat him in like manner and, through a boycott, let hlm die in his sins. That would be de- pforable. But if it is a fact that he is dangerously i'll it is not to be wondered at when he looks at his string of cars taking running exercise. doing a kind or country dance which is likely to end m breakdown in which he doesn't want to participate and yet he is reluc- tantly compelled to pay the piper.
 How to settle this strike question is now the main point. Arbitration is set aside and now there is a deadlock. How would it do to toss up for it. heads and tails? It is about as good as anything that has been done up to the present time. My. suggestion is that 1n place of arbitration we have ; committee of investigation. or a jury you might call 1t, go into the matter l IuiIy and find out which side is right I ana which side is wrong; give their re port to the press, after which public opinion will settle the duestion. The party in the wrong will be compelled 10 yield for want of support by both rne press and the public.
 should matters stand as they do 2 little longer the people will get so ac customed to walking that cars in fu. ture won't be wanted and travelling on foot will be only healthy recreation.

POLICE COURT DOINGS
Henry Grady Arrested for Refusing to
 Pay Hack Fare.


 Pay Hack Fare
 Henry Grady was the only prisoner before Judge Peasley ill the city court today. He was charged with evasion of paying hack fare. Last August he hired a hack to attend his mothers fu- neral. He had it sent from Partree's stables to HI. G. 626 Bank street. He tried to put off paying James Rig ney, the driver, and volunteered to go to Partree's office to show that his credit was good On the way he es- caped and soon after was arrested and committed to jan He has just served his term and was arrested yesterday Tor this ofense. He was fined $7 and costs. Grady is the most peculiar man the local police ever had contact with, and is the most slippery man they know in these parts. He originally came from Derby If there is the slightest possible chance of getting away from the police Grady will take It. Once he ran away from Patrolman Myers just as he was about stepping into the police station. For that he has also served Imprisonment.

Property Returned to It's
 Owner by Work of Local Detectives.
 New Haven, January 29.-On Tuesday evening Captain Cowles received telephone message from the Naugatuck police to look out for a horse and wagon which had been stolen from Frank Kenney of that town. Yesterday Detectives Ward and Colwell were detailed on the case and found the team in the possession of Mr Welch, the Westville grocer. He had bought the team from MT Ken ney's brother Joseph for $20, who, it has since been found out, was the orig inal thief It is said that the horse alone is well worth $150. The thief has not yet been caught and if he. is his brother, it is expected, will not desire to prosecute. An officer came here from Naugatuck yesterday for the team.

Cretic. In other words. the two final
letters &c" in each of the adopted
names will appear throughout the en-

At first, no doubt, this change of ap-
pellation will seem strange and mysti-
flying. People who, for example, have
been accustomed to associate in their
minds the steamship New England with
the hills and dales of the picturesque
region for which the Romanic-to- be
was first called will very likely find the
old name clinging to their lips for
months to come. Columbus, likewise,
which thousands in Identifying that
ship have linked with the name of the
ancient diScoverer, will probably re-

DRY long after the steamship Columbus
becomes the republic. But in much the
same way as one learns to call the for
mer Miss Jones Mrs. Galloway, he will
be able to grasp the new order of things
in the maritime sphere.
On some railroads the locomotives
bear names as well as numbers, but on
most systems these iron steeds are OBJ
ViouSly too numerous to render this
means of identification of much value
there With reference to steamships
the case is different. Although the

Horses Go Through Course of In
struction in British Army.

Horses are enlisted in British cav
airy regiments on reaching their third
year, but it is generally two years more
before they are taken for their first
swimming lesson. This branch of their
education receives good deal of atten-
ton at the Aldershot training camp.
The veterinary officer and riding master
of the regiment supervise the work, and
only experienced men are allowed to
assist.
The great thing is ~not to force or
alarm the horse during his training,
but rather to lead him by easy stages
to enter the water quickly, fearlessly
and as noiselessly as possible. If ter
rified at the start. the horse would be
likely to fight shy Of deep water ever

has charge of the horse walks his pupil
about on the edge of the water. just
permitting him to wet his hoofs and fet-
locks The next day tile horse is intro
duced a little farther into the water,
perhaps up to his body, and allowed to
splash round as he pleases- In this way
the horse is gradually taken farther and
farther in, until at length he loses his
footing and starts swimming quite nat
urally, the man in charge swimming by
his side to give him greater confidence.
Then the horse is taught to swim in
company with others. beside boat, By

the final syllable in their names. One OF
the earlier Red Star liners, which for
merly sailed under the Belgian flag, was

belongs.
The American line follows the custom
of naming it's ships in honor of the pr1n-
cipal American cities, as in the case of
the st. Paul and the st. Louis. which,
since their notable service in the Span
ish war have become the New York and
Philadelphia.
The Inman line, which preceded the
American line, followed the practice of
giving to its vessels the names of i'm

NAMING OCEAN LINERS.
Family" Appsllations Distinguish
the Fleets.

A practice which. quite unknown
probably to most people. has been pur-
sued by the managers of ocean steam
ship companies is one that insures for
the ships of the different lines distinc-
tive, or what may be called family,
names-names intended to suggest at
once the particular line to which this
or that steamship or group of steam
ships belongs.
AS may readily be seen, names select
ed at random and applied indiscrimi
sAately to ocean liners would be likely
so prove extremely confusing to the
casual student of marine nomenclature
seeking to determine the ships iden-
tity at sea. To avoid the perplexitv of
such a selection the steamship COM
panies have adopted what must be
called an ingenious plan. BY adhering
strictly to certain preixes or suffixes
originally hit upon in naming their
ships. most of the companies have de-
'veloped a series of names whose sig
nificance can scarcely be mistaken
even by the veriest landlubber No
