NATER figures very conspicuous NNJ ly in the present presidential
 w campaign. In the first place Judge Parker elicited the admiration of the nation by the persistency and regular ity with which he bathed in the historic Hudson. While his daily swims seem to have been cut short by the cold weather, Jupiter PluYins does not intend that the judge shall escape his ministrations, and every time the sage ol Esopus starts to make a speech the rain comes falling down. Now whether this is merely coin cidence or the decree of destiny, it is not for us to say, but Judge Parker has hard time trying to speak at Esopus. Still the admirng partisans of the judge founder out and stand In the rain with a cheerfulness that does them credit. It is not reasonable to suppose that the streets and pavements around about ESQ pus are free from mud, and therefore the devotion of democrats who journey out to the town on a rainy day is all the more apparent. In addition to the real cold water that has been made prominent in the campaign, much figurative cold water has been cast upon the efforts of the politicians by General Apathy.
 The blow has come and the summer girl may well afford to look forward to the coming of next spring with appre- hension The ice cream freezer trust is reality The impertinent public is not permitted to know the details of a trans action whereby more than fifty freezer l fto1E, ation Is said to be enormous and the crop of ice cream next summer may already | hang in the balance. While 1t would be an easy matter for the trust to raise the price of ice cream freezers, 1t would be much more difficult for the retailer to in- crease the tariff on ice cream. Ice cream has come to be regarded as staple, and an outbreak would be sure to follow any attempt made to put 1t among the lux uries Before the ice cream season rolls around again it is to be hoped that a new attorney general will be able to get with
 in striking distance of the ice cream freezer trust.
 An Ohio woman is suing her husband for a divorce because he has upset their | married DlSS Dy moving Iorty-unfee llIHes. Being the possessor of such a nomadic mate the chances are that this unfortun- ate woman will be moved again before she can get her divorce decree granted. De- ponent does not state whether the de- fendant was forced to move on account of inability to pay rent, because he is hard to please. because he cannot get along with his neighbors or because he moves out of pure "cussedness," and sm- ply to spite his wife. Whatever his reason for moving may be, 1t is safe to assume that his wife has never known what 1t is to have a happy home for any length of time, and a charitable public will ex- cuse her asking a separation.
 It Is remarkable how easy a man with l a short name or a nickname can get along in politics. In fact 1t is almost in- dispensble that the successful politician be called Tom Dick or Harry by his con- stituents. The shorter his name the more | nopular he ia and the more people he can

 Scrap Theft Case.

Hartford, Feb 26-,An import ant arrest in connection with the al- legged theft of thousands of dollars worth of brass scrap from the firm of Landers, Frary x Clark, of New Brit ain, and for which Nathan Bares and Charles B.

His confinement has told heavily on him. Detective Farrell left at noon to-day and expects to return with his prisons CT tonight.

ST. MATTHIAS WEATHER.
Wednesdays Thaw Makes the Ger-
 mans Look for Early Spring.

Terryvilie, Feb 26.-According to m old folk saying, brought over from tho fatherland by one of Tefryyille's Ger man settlers. long ago deceased, Wednesdays weather indicated that the backbone of winter is broken.
 For fifty years or more St Mat thias's day has been looked upon by the Germans employed at the Andrew Terry Cos works much as Candlemas day has been regarded by the English and their descendants. The saving is Matthias. he break ice; Matthias, he make ice" meaning that if the wealth.

 Consequently, the ice in the Pequa- buck river on the banks of which the foundry is located has annually been watched by the Germans as we'll as some others with interest.

IN THE SAME STORE.
And on the Same Day These Incidents
 Occurred.

A day or two ago a stylishly dressed man and woman entered+ well, no matter. It's a combination store on Main street, says the Hart ford Times. The woman seated herr self and called for pair of fancy stockings. The hosiery shown hen took her fancy. Instead of having the "clocked" beauties done up in bundle, the woman deliberately took off the dampened hosiery she was wearing, replacing them with tha new pair. During the unusual oper. ation she had placed her Wet shoes on the radiator to dry. The man calmly stood there during the whole proceeding, seemingly oblivious to the 'srubbering'' and meaning smiles that were directed toward his "lady' friend.
 A couple of hours later woman entered the same store to purchase something. Tn juggling with her fish4 net shopping bag, some of the little bundles were dropped to the floor, She muttered something to herself, replaced tha bundles, and was about to speak to clerk when there was a dull shattering of glass, and right at her feet was a badly wrecked bottld Of Santa Croix rum The man clerk made a jump for the package and sucj ceeded in rescuinr half tufnbler full of the stimulant The woman dfs~ appeared with her combination shopt ming bag, but the smell of SantR Croix was much in evidence durinG the remainder of the day in that store:

CASE OF RESTITUTION.
Humane Society Finds Work to Do
 i'm W0IcOtt

Agent Miller of the Connecticut Hu- mane society unearthed pitiful case of destitution on Tuesday in Wolcott, a small village near Bristol. William White, with his wife and three chil- dren, n girl 13 years old, one 9 years and boy years old, were foura in the back Of A deserted store building, huddled together in bare room ~'''' but one bed for the family. There was no fire fin the room and but one small stick of wood for kindlings.
 The family had existed on one or two apples and little Indian meal and all were dressed in rags.
 William White has not done any work to speak of since the early fall, and what little money he has earned has been spent for drink. This was learned from the neighbors.
 Mir Miller of the Humane society is to be in Wolcott to-day, when the chil- dren will be provided for and Whites disgraceful negligence of his family dealt with by the law. It is said ,at the family has another member, a Son IT years old, who is always at work, but does not hold any communication with the home.

PERMIT BY TRANSFER.
Defense Set Up by Connecticut Rail-
 way and Liahtina co.

New Britain, Feb. 26.--It is learned that the Connecticut Railway & Light Ing company has a spacious plea, Which will be made through the astuta counsel of the company when the city gets after it for erecting poles and str1nging cables in tine southern part or the city without first obtaining per. mission from the common council Tho company claims that the acquire. ments of the rights by transfer
 It transpires that back In the days of the New Britain Telephone coms pany, lenient council, hoping to enS courage rival to the Southern NeW< England, which would mean betteI< and cheaper service, granted the loS cal company permission to erect poles and string wires along this route now in question.
 The company never took advantage of the privilege. It's game was tn force the older company to purchase it, which In due time it did. The Southern New England came into pos- session by the transfer, among other things. of the right to set poles and string wires in the section named4 The Southern New England had never sought to take advantage of the per. init.
 1t now transl,ires that the Con- necticut Railway & Lighting conl- pany will set up the defense that 1t secured the transfer to 1t from the Southern New England of this same permit and was merely using the privilege to replace the old poles with new ones tnd string wires. Quite ingenious, isn't it? It remains to be determined, however, whether the city cannot upset such finely spun arrangement.
 It is hardly probably that the city officials will accept the plea that permit issued to the New Britain Telephone company years ago can be transformed and distorted into tho issue of a permit which passes through three pair of hands and is then interpreted to cover the erecting of new line of poles and the string ing thereon of cables of high poten. tiality.

 At this season of the year and early spring, everyone is subject to coughs and colds which if neglected may lead to something serious. Walkers Cough Syrup has done wonders in the past and is still on duty at the old stand.
