Bobby was ten years old, and an
alarmingly light hearted and careless
young person. 1t was supposed,
however, that he would he capable of
escorting his grandmother to the
family Christmas dinner, one block
away from her home, without mishap.
He was tall for his age, and he
offered his arm to his grandmother in
gallant and satisfactory manner as
they started off together.
ST hope he will remember that she
is almost ninety, and not try to hurry
her. Pm sure I've cautioned him
enough" said Bobby's mother, as
she began to dress her younger
children. But when she arrived at
the family party, it appeared that
grandmother had turned her ankle,
and was lying on the lounge.
"Bobby," said the mother, re-
proachfully, "where were you when
grandma slipped?"
"Now I won't have that boy
blamed" said grandmother, br1sBIy,
smiling up into Bobby's remorseful
face. eve came to a fine ice slide,
and he asked me if I thought we
could do it, and I told him did. And
1 want you children to remember one
thing: When you get to be most
ninety, you'll count turned ankle
small thing compared with having
somebody forget that you've outlived
everything but rheumatism and sit
ting still. Anybody that likes can
rub this ankle minute or two with
some liniment, but I want Bobby next

The Horseradish.

Horseradish usually is given corner of the garden and there left to take care of itself. In this way 1t will grow and supply an uncertain amount of roots. On clay soil it becomes a troublesome weed, but on the light land 1t spreads slowly. A much better quality of root can be grown with a little cultivation. The roots are cur in pieces three or four inches long. Small roots that are unfit for grating may be used for this purpose. These are planted. top end up, between the rows of peas at the time of sowing or late, all that is necessary is to make hole with a stick deep enough so that the top of the root is about three inches below the surface. When the peas are cultivated the tops are cut of if any get above the ground. After the peas are out of the way the horseradish is allowed to grow. It will soon cover the ground with its broad leaves and will need no further attention till fall, when it may be dug and stored for use as desired. If the soil is loose and fertile the roots will be large and of a superior quality. When grown in this way 1t does not interfere with early crops and affords a covering for the ground during the hot, dry part of summer. In many places the sur- plus may be sold at a good profit. - Farmers Voice.

 $67,340. Nicholas Staub Must
 Pay.
Crosby and Staub Were Connected With l .ew Mil. ford Power C0.-Crosby Died in 1896.

Hartford, March 11.--A decision ren- dered by Judge Thayer in the superior court to-daya awards judgment of $67, $40 to Mrs Kate Crosby in her suit against Nicholas Staub of New Mill ford, formerly state comptroller. Mrs Crosby is the widow of James M. Crosby, formerly of this city and later of Boston, in which city his death oc- cured in 1896. The litigation ill the present suit was begun by Noble E. Pierce as administrator of the estate of Crosby, and was based on contracts made by Crosby with Staub in connec- tion with the affairs of the Falls Val ley Water Go, the New Milford Power Go and the Housatonic Water Go. Crosby's interests in these companies aggregated about $2O0,0OO purchased through Staub, and it was alleged that he had paid in cash upwards of $6O,- 900. The suit was to recover the sum paid over, and the decision of the court awards the plaintiff the full amount.

NO PEACE, SAYS CASSINI.

Washington. March 11.-"After Liaoyang there was talk of peace. Russia's answer was endorsements, Like Liaoyang, Mukden is the scene of another retreat, and again Russia's answer will be large reinforcements. but of peace not word" This was the emphatic statement of Count Cas- sini, the Russian ambassador, to-day, in the light of the morning dispatches telling of the Russian retreat. The only official news he has received in the last few days from his govern ment regarding the operations is con- tained in brief cablegram which came last night saying that General Kuropatkin was retreating after days of fierce fighting. The ambassador, however, was acquainted several weeAs ago with the final decision of the en- per0r that Russia would continue the war until Russian arms are victorious regardless of the time it would re. quire, and already preparations are being made for large endorsements to General Kuropatkin.
 If an echo of peace should come out of St Petersburg, no official in Wash ington would be more surprised than the Russian ambassador, who has all along been positively informed that nothing but victory for General Kuro- patkin can bring an end to the war.

MRS. ANNIE REISS.
Woman Not in Right Mind Took Dose
 of Paris Green.

Mrs Annie Reiss of 20 North street, died early this morning from the effects of dose of paris green taken last night. The woman was 35 yeas of age and leaves husband and five children. She had not been in her right mind since last June, but the family thought she was improving and trusted her about the house. Shortly after taking the poison she was seized with a vomiting spell and Mir McLin- den was hastily summoned and did what he could for her, but the deadly stuff had done it's work and baff1ed every remedy applied. Acting Medical Examiner Goodenough viewed the body and fave permission for burial.
 The first report of the sad affair said the woman was the wife of Anson B, Rice, the we'll known horseman. Mir Rice knew nothing about the rumor until he came down town this morn ing and when he heard 1t said that his wife worked all day yesterday, went to church last night, retired early and was up this morning at o'clock and cooked her breakfast and went to her work as seamsress in Brown street tailoring establishment. The Rice family live on North street. too, and this made it look all the more lika the truth. still people who know Mrs Rice could scarcely believe 1t. It was one of those unfortunate mistakes that occurs from time to time and for which there is no remedy and the only thing people can do in such cases is correct the false impression as far as lies in their power. ~a@

SETTLED THEIR CASES.
Yale Men Who Assaulted Arthur B.
 fennant ol this City.

New Haven, March 1.-The cases against James P. Kineon of Cincin- natl and Joseph F. Loves. Jr, of Day ton, O., seniors in the scientific de- partment of Yale university, who were charged with assaulting Arthur E. Remnant of Waterbury, post gradu- ate student, were settled in the city court to-day without hearing. The cases have been continued, a number of times since the middle of January, when the men were technically arrest ed. At the outset they confessed to participation in the assault, which took place on Orange street late on a Sat. urday night, but they declared that it was justified to some extent by great prOvocation.
 When the matter finally came up to- day the respondents were not in court, but their counsel settled the cases by the payment of costs in the case Of Kineon and the payment of a fine of $25 and costs in Lowes's case.
 Tennant, who was in the Yale in firmary for weeks suffering from q fracture of the skull and brain conges- tion, is recovering.

STRIKE SEEMS TO BE
 SLOWLY PICKERING OUT
Many of the Old Employees Will Never Get Han Hired Who is Over Forty Years of Age-No kan Who Has the Smell of Liquor on His Person Can Get Work-Trains are Running on All Lines.

New York, March 11.-Although nearly two days have passed since the local leaders of the unions involved in the big street railway strike were re- pudiated by their national officers and the strikers ordered back to work, con- ditions on the affected lines have not become normal. Trains were running to-day on every branch of the Inter borough Rapid Transit Co.'S system, but on reduced and in some cases ir- regular schedules. As has been the case from the first, the subway was the least affected by the conditions. All trains were badly crowded, how ever, and much more time was con sumed in making runs than is provid- ed for in the regular schedules. The Third avenue elevated trains were running on from 15 to 20 minutes headway early in the day, far away from the regular schedule, and the cars were much crowded. On the Sixth and Ninth avenue lines condi- tiohs were better, but the trains moved slowly and much more infre quently than under the regular sched- ule.
 It seems probable now that many of the former employees of the company who went out on strike never will be re-employed. It had been announced that all of those taken back would have to return, as individuals, that they had forfeited their rights of sen- iority by their action in joining the strikers. and that they would be obliged to accept lower rate of wages than they had received. Later it was said that the company had de- cided not to take on any of the men over 40 years of age. If this plan is carried out it will affect hundreds of men who had been employed on the elevated for many years
 It was announced at the InterDor- ough company's offices to-day that a schedule of three minutes was being maintained to-day on the Sixth and Ninth avenue elevated lines. On the Second and Third avenue branches q der way, while the running time in the subway was almost normal. It also was said that the number of men ne- cessary to complete the working force in the subway had been engaged, and that only about ten per cent more men were needed on the elevated. In re- employing the old men and taking on new ones. a rule against Indulgence in liquor, which will be more rigidly en- forced than any other, has been put in effect. Even the smell of liquor will cause instant dismissal from the companys service. and all men being employed must sign contract not to drink. To enforce this rule the con- pany has established system of espionage. Only small number of new men were engaged at the recruit ing offices to-day. the company refus- ing all applications of men who have had no railroad experience.

MARY LIENS NOT
 YET RELEASED

The motion passed by the aldermen at the last meeting at the suggestion of Mir Beach, providing for a raking over of the tax collectors and town clerks books to see how people stand with the city financially is a good thing. If bills are due that ought to be paid it is time those in authority knew it.. and if accounts are standing against people that have already been paid or that cannot be collected. this should be known. too. In addition to these things there are liens standing against several people who settled long ago. but neglected to have the liens released. There is big mistake here The person who places the lien should be obliged to see that it is released as soon as the debt for which it was filed has been satisfied, and if the all derm..n had the same interest in the public that they show towards their friends the law would have been re- pealed long ago.
