THE POLICE COURT.
Boarder and Landlord Settled Dis
 pute Before Judge Burpec.

F. H. Haney an employe of the Uni F. H. Haney, an employe of the Uni ted Gas Improvement company ac- complished an apparent impossibility at his home, 10S3 West Main street, Thursday evening. but how he did 1t he was not allowed to tell in the city court to-day. So much therefore must be lost to science and the public.
 James Mcclure boarded at Haney's and last Wednesday morning he got through there. He owed $10 and paid SIP. Thursday evening, he went to the house for his trunk, and, ex- pecting this, Haney, who seemed to be far seeing fellow bolted from the inside the door of the room in which McClure's trunk was.
 You don't mean to say that you bolted the door from the inside?' asked Attorney Bauby, counsel for Mcclure in wonder. and everybody opened their ears more to hear the story of this great achievement.
 That's what I did.' was Haney's answer. He was asked to tell how he did it, but Judge Burpee did not think 1t was relevant to the case and 90 Haney did not tell how he bolted the door from the inside, while he, so far as his audience could understand was on the other side of the door
 Mcclure said he merely pushed tho door and To. 1t opened. Haney said Mcclure broke in the door and p-cduced the broken bolt as evidence, Any how Mcclure was pulling his t.ink out of the room when Haney jrmped all over him and there was p'rr9gle on the stairway, and some damage was done to the stair carpet, tie walls and woodwork.
 Mcclure, thought his wife had .wor.,ed out the disputed 8 by keep ing house for the Haneys while they were away one day but they consid- cred that she was paid by giving her her hoard for that day. Judge Bur pee imposed fine of s and costs.
 A young fellow named Patrick Lunny was fined S5 and costs for in toxication and $10 for resisting Of- ncer Halpin and tearing the buttons of his blouse.
 A case against James Dorsey was continued to Monday, as the evidence was not prepared.

the SWEETEST
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-01-04

A writer in the New England Maga- zine says that the telephone is entitled to even greater consideration than the trolleys as an urbanizing influence. It has reached further out into remote districts, embracing not only the well settled agricultural regions throughout New England, but even the most iso- lated lumber camps of the north woods. Its lines go everywhere. Not every farmer or shopkeeper. even in populous eastern Massachusetts, is right on a trolley road, but everyone can have the telephone in his house or office. and very many of them do. No man. of course. who is on the tele- phone is out of the world. He can call up. or be called up by, any one of hundreds of thousands of other New Englanders. The family ten or fifteen miles out has many of the essential advantages of being in the city. The extraordinary alertness of the tele- phone companies in taking steps to bring forward their ideal of an era in which practically everybody ill the United States can be communicated with over the lines of one intercOn- nected system has projected the tele- phone into every nook and corner of New England.

THURSDAY, JAN 4, 1906.

There is a note of interest in the plan of the paymaster general of the army for an increase in the pay or enlisted men. He admits that they are the best paid. best clothed and best fed soldiers in the world. but he be- lieves they should have more money because men who do about the same work in civil life receive more for their exertions. This is not the first time an effort has been made in this direction. and in every instance it has failed. There is notable absence of interest on the part of the soldier, in dicating that he is satisfied with be- ing all that the paymaster general claims for him, says the Pittsburg Ga zette Being an American and intelli- gent he would complain if there were cause. The requirements of the ser vice are not such as to prevent an ex- pression of opinion or suppress the right of petition. If he wanted more money he would ask for it. Doubtless he would take an increase if it were offered. but does it nor appear in the light of an extravaganza and against the theories of discipline to create a condition for which there is no appar- ent demand.
