IN THE POLICE COURT.
Bad Boys Sentenced to Reform School
 by Judge Peasley.

A sad case of youthful depravity is that of four boys who were arrested yesterday afternoon for attempting to assault little 9-years-old girl. The boys are Edward Deeley, 14 years, Willie Squires, 13 years, Edward Druen, Il years, and Willie Kramer, Il years, and the girl is Ruth Griffen of iVne street, daughter of John Grif- fen, the well known polo player. They enticed the little girl into a barn on Vine street, but her screams brought to her assistance several neighbors. All the boys except one had fled. This morning Attorney Phelan, who de- tended the boys, stated that he would waive examination before the city court but Judge Peasley decided that. as the boys were under IA years of age they should be tried. They were found guilty and sentenced to the reform school. An appeal under bonds of $100 was taken. Two of the boys secured bonds to-day.
 John Murray was charged with as- saulting his wife on last Thursday. This is the second time within a month that he has been arrested for the same offense She stated that her husband beat her across the arms ohA hCNh WILu d Dl& CltlU uAu SApOSSu the marks left by the club to the court to-day. He kicked her and dragged her around by the hair. He then started to beat her little girl, but the mother interfered. Murray admitted beating his wife, but begged for mercy saying that he would never do it again if he was given his free dom. He was given three months in jail.
 Frank Burke of Waterville drank too much Thursday night and after arriving home late Friday morning started to make rough house. He continued the disturbance all night and yesterday morning about o'clock started to clear the table by upsetting the dishes on the floor. His wife said that he did not act so often. He was fined $5 and costs for drunken ness and given 30 days to pay it. Sentence was suspended for breach of the peace.

cooks, pance at sarntogn,

SARATOGA, Aug. 27.--While the 1oc or more patrons of the Kensington ho tel were ruefully surveying their piled up baggage in the lobby of the hotel and wondering where they would sleep, the cooks, assisted by the laundresses and the chambermaids, were giving an impromptu but hilarious ball in the main parlor to the porters, chefs, bell boys and other men employees. A brief notice in New York papers saying thai H. A. Bangs, proprietor of the KeI sington, had filed petition in bank ruptcy in Utica was the cause of all the trouble.

PATTEE ASSIGNS.
Manager of the Hotel Connecticut
 Financially Embarrassed.

New Britain, Aug 27.-George Q. Pattee, the landlord of the Hotel Russ win, made an assignment last night to J. W. Smart of the Burbank 6y Hamley Go of Boston, for the benefit of the creditors The assignment in- cludes also the Hotel Connecticut of Waterbury, of which he is proprietor.
 The action was brought about, SD Mr Pattee said last night, by a com plication of matters. He found be was carrying on too much business with not enough capital. He thought that MT Smart would be appointed to take charge of the hotels until mat ters were adjusted He said that his liabilities would amount to about $h1,- GOO. with assets of about S10,o0O.
 An attachment for $300 was placed on his property last night by Deputy Sheriff Cowles for D, Frank Lee of this city. MT Pattee says the bill ia for about $60.
 MT Pattee came here about three years ago, succeeding the late Frank A. Wise as manager of the Russwin. He had been in charge of the Brandon Inn at Brandon, Vt, Tor some years be- fore coming to this city.
 A. N. Getterson. manager of the Hotel Connecticut, was asked to-day if Mir Pattee's assignment would At- feet the Hotel Connecticut in any way. He said: "I do not think the local hotel will be affected in any way. understand that the assignment was made to protect both the hotels, so business can go along the same as usual, and MT Pattee will be given chance to straighten up mat ters and settle some <old biIls. Tho help will be paid as usual. No at. tachments have been made on the local hotel and none is expected"
 "INhis season has been poor tor the hotel business and many hotel man. agers have suffered. know ons hotel which generally makes SS,OO0 q month, yet the receipts last month amounted to only $4,000. It's no won- der that small hotels are suffering
 The Burbank & Hamley Co, to which Mr Pattee made the assign ment. is a large wholesale meat house from which Mir Pattee buys provisions for his two hotels.

THE SALVATION ARMY.
Several of the Members Assaulted by
 Young Hen Last Night.

While the Salvation Army was hold ing its daily meeting at the corner of Bank and Grand streets last night some boys began to annoy them. Fi- nally one of them threw a stone into the midst of the prayer meeting. Tne captains wife saw him, seized him and turned him over to her husband. AS she did so crowd of ruffians sur rounded them onall sides, pushed them about and roughly handled them. In the excitement they took the boy away from his captor and set him free. At one time 1t looked as if the meeting would be broken up by the rowdy element, but call was sent to the police station and Reserve Officers Byrnes and M. Sullivan arr rived upon the scene. There was no further trouble.
 Captain McGrath of the Salvation Army said to-day that the persons who caused the disturbance last night were not boys, but young men who were well dressed. They had been disturbing them very much when he grabbed one of them to hold him until police officer arrived. As he did so crowd pitched onto him, kicked him, punched him and knocked him down twice. To-day he has big lump on the back of his head and his body is sore from bruises. As he w,is strug- gling with the crowd one young man with dark mustache, whom he would know if he saw him again, ran up and struck his wife hard blow, then lhe rushed toward the captains littln son, who was beating the drum, and gave him terrible kick in the leg, al- most breaking it. The little boy is lame to-day. The crowd of rufiaans did not spare even the captains four months old baby, which was lying in baby carriage nearby, but also struck her. Sister Melinda's hand waa badly cut. Not one of the little band was left unharmed by the crowd, who had made good their escape by the time the police arrived Captain Mo Grath said to-day that on two occa- sions he has turned boys over to the police officers for molesting him and his followers, yet the boys were not arrested. The policemen osaiy gave them little shaking up.

BROKE rHE 100000.

New Haven, Aug 27.-For the first time since superstition took strong hold on the citizens of this state, the New Haven road yesterday ran Q popular excursion from Stamford to Newport by rail to New London and the rest of the way by water. This was on Friday, and in superstition 1t is unlucky to go anywhere on thaT day. The roads inability to get peo~ pie to patronize an excursion Fridays led to the elimination of this day from the excursion list. An official of the passenger department, in speaking of this matter. once saad that on account of the popular preju- dice against Friday, it was practically impossible to get a paying crowd on railroad excursion on that day, and any trip which included boat ride was bound to be a failure; but it seems the hoodoo is broken. for there was good crowd on the excursion yesterday.

WAS CUT IN TWO.
New Haven Roard of Finance Acts on
 Stenographer's Bill.

F. H. Cogswell, the we'll known leg islative and court stenogapher, was employed to report the proceedings of the police investigation in New Ha- ven. His bill was recently presented to the city's board of finance and to- tailed $2,04S.40. This the board con- sidered too high, and 1t was finally cut down to $1,321 and approved for that amount.
 It appears that NTr Cogswell fur nished a manifold copy of the testi- nlony to each member of the investi- gating committee and the board of finance objected to his charging orig inal copy rates. Judge H. Iynde Har- rison, chairman of the police investi- gating committee, approved the bill, and Dean Henry Wade Rogers of the Yale law school and George B. Mar tin, president of the Union League club, members of the committee, say that the bill was never submitted to them. Memberslof the board say that they engaged MT Cogswell with the understanding that he would accept whatever the board of finance should allow.

A HASTY TEMPER.
1ne Harm II Does Even Though the
Ugly Fit BE Soon over.

1ne Harm II Does Even Though the
Ugly Fit BE Soon over.
II is a remarkable thing that there
exists in peoples minds a distinct so.
cial precedence among the vices.
10 own oneself on intimate terms
with such a one as deceit or slander.
Tor instance, would be almost undreamt
o. but how often have we heard people
say, almost with pride at any rate
with no trace Of shame, II have a verv
nasty temperY And then as If to
transhgure it into a very virtue they
triumphantly add. But it is soon over. !"
SO 1t may be, but how about its conse-
quences! Are they soon over?
There are few more dangerous enc
mics to the peace and comfort of every
day life than the people who speak
hastily in the squalls of passing i'll tenn
per, and then. when they are restored
to good humOr, expect everything to be
Just as 1t was before There is no such
position possible as lust as it was be-
fore in this Up and down hill human
y
a step by which we mount upward or
sink lower in the unhindered Journey
ings onward of all the conditions Of
life, and the people who give utterance
TO the determinations of passionate tenn
pers unfailingly drop down in the esti-
nation of others, from which it is
stiff climb up again.
Moreover words once uttered, wheth-
er true or false, are usually undying
and live on in hearts and memories
long after the careless bow that shot
such poisoned arrows forth is unstrung.
And though the utterer may plead that
to feed his passion he said not what he
really believed, but what he thought
at the time would hurt most, it is al
most impossible for the hearer to un-
derstand that the expression was not
that of a living though latent opinion
and to feel it accordingly.
The code of fashion in the moral
realms has decreed how much better a
passionate temper is than a sulky one,
but there is something to be said in
favor of the latter in that it only hurts
Itself. Like the little girl who when
annoyed always ate her apple tart with
out sugar, the guilty person may suffer
most individually. but that is surely
better than the suffering TO the inno-
cent caused by the random shots of the
fierce though short onslaughts of a
hasty temper. And silence is much less
generally disturbing than violence,
though perhaps quite as unbecoming.-
