IN THE POLICE COURT.
Nc Evidence Against RAbbit Hunters
 and Case Was Dropuea.

The three cases against the three men, James Dillon. James Evans and
 Bernard Seery. for hunting rabbits With ferret fell to the ground on ac- count of lack of evidence. This an- notincemcnt was made by Prosecutor Meiss in the city court this morning. It seems that while every circunl- stance in the cases pointed to the fact that the accused did catch the fifty rabbits, they had with them when ar- rested, by the aid Of the ferret whieif they also had, it could not be proven against them, and especially that they were caught within the Jurisdiction Of the city court. On that account the cases were nolled. There is vicious feature about the case which had something to do with this dis position. That is, the law allows S2O to the complainant for each case where a conviction results. It is be- lieved. however, that the arrest of those men will have a salutary effect upon others who use ferrets hunting.
 John Miller of 57 Kingsbury street was charged with breach of the peace Thanksgiving eve. Mrs Miller testi- fled that he left the house early in the evening half intoxicated and that he returned about II o'clock fully iii- toxicated.

Finding he was barred at the back door he went down the. cellar and got at an inner door and there he hammered until he had disturbed the whole neighborhood and the landlord was compelled to inter cede with Mrs Miller for him. Sen tence was suspended. Judge Burpee remarking that under the circunl stances Miller did nothing only what any man would do were he locked out of his house at II o'clock at night.

NO PLACE TO STAY.
Han Wants to he Sent to Breokside
 Home for the Winter.

AS Judge Burpee was leaving the clty court room this morning he was accosted i'll the corridor of the City hall Dy frowsy looking specimen Of hu- mahity He stranger first addressed hlm To lind out if he were ..the judge and when he had been given the de sired information and there were no doubts about it, the man handed him a piece of paper, asking him to read it. me Writing was in pencil, somewhat blurred and not easy to decipher there fore. It read as follows:
 November 27, 1904. Waterbury, Conn. MT Judge:
 T have no place to stay for the win ter and nothing to eat and I have lived here over 30 years and l want you to please if you are kind enough to get me into the alnlshouse My home is all broke up I want to go to the almshouse for the winter I win ask you to please try and send me up there for the winter. James Curley.
 If the officers arrest me for staying out nights then you would give me three months down the road l want to get up there without being arrested if l can."
 Judge Burpee advised the man to see Prosecutor Meigs as he under stood that he was on probation and de- sired to have his fine changed to days
 Mr Meigs read the note and ques- tioned the man and found that he had served his term of probation and was therefore free. This took the case out of his hands because it is not i'll his power to advise the disposal of any person wnois not before the court. So he advised the man to see the depart ment of charities.

the figures so as to make showing
Mr.. Wright is the man. Not long

average cost Of living was lower now
than it was ten years ago, and did it
b; showing that while such things as
bacon and -four had increased some.
thing like 40 per cent, nutmegS and
spices had decreased something like
so per cent, showing a clear decrease
of 20 per cent in the cost Of living.
And in his estimates Of the cost OF
living Mr.. Wright forgot to include
the Important item OF rent, which
