whether or not he still remains a judge in this district A sufficient answer to this proposition. Is, that any such case made up by agreement between the judges would, indeed, be but a moot question, which any court before whom the mat ter was pending would promptly dismiss as such This proposition is so well un- derstood by bench and bar that citation of authority to sustain it is unnecessary. There Is, however a legal and orderly way in which all such question may be raised for adjudication and settlement That way is open to any litigant, who should feel aggrieved at any deciison or order made by the court or any judge thereof, but 1t cannot be raised or de- termined by the action of a judge ex nero motu, as in this matter. My juris- diction and authority are subject to de- termination by an appellate tribunal alone, and 1t is not within my power to yield any part thereof to any other judge or court of coordinate Jurisdiction.
 As Is well known, upon my entering into the discharge of the duties of my district greatly congested with unde- termined cases. Except the visit of Judge Jones above alluded to. no other judge has been upon the bench in this district, As best I can, day and night. my tim !. has been given unsparingly to the litl- gants before the court.

CASE CONTINUED
Fresh" Egg Man Who Didn't
 Come Back With Change.

Richard Cooper carried all his eggs in one basket and it was the un- doing of him. He bought eggs that had not been labeled fresh in many a day and undertook to sell them for strictly fresh ones among the houses :. Ion the avenues" At Willis M. Halls on Linden street he made sale but did not have the change for $10 bill, but obligingly said he would go next door and get it. He left his basket of eggs behind and that was the last seen of him on that street. Such enterprise as this did not arouse the admiration of the woman of the house by any means for $10 dozen was far above the market price for eggs, high as that commodity is at present. Y
 But Mrs Halls feelings on the mat ter did not deter Cooper from making another plunge on the egg market. He cornered another basket of them where he had secured the first one and made, his way to the northwest part of the city. This time he secur- ed a $5 bill from Mrs Curtis at 80 North Willow street, and again he said he would go next door to get the change. He was not seen in that neighborhood again. In spite of this testimony in the city court this morn ing Cooper said in a loud voice mot guilty" when put to plea for em' bezzling on two counts $10 and $5, Attorney Kelley appeared for him and he asked for a continuance, but the. court, though allowing the mo- tion saw little use in granting 1t, ex- cept to preserve the rights of the ac- cused. He thought that any defense against such evidence as the above could be nothing but forlorn hope.

ONLY ONE LEFT.
Death of Mrs Heffernan Leaves One
 Member of Well Known Family.

The passing of Mrs Mortimer lief fernan, who died yesterday after noon removes one more of a genera ton of Irish people who, left their impress on the city of Waterbury.
 Mrs Heffernan was born in Limer- ick and came here when young girl, with the other members of her family. They were the late John Ryan of North Main street; pr Dan iel Ryan, one of the first Irish doc tors to settle in Waterbury, and who died young from fever contracted during the practice of his profession: Johanna, afterwards the wife of Mich. ael O'Connor, the Bank street mer- chant. Mrs Maria Cunningham, and Michael Ryan, who for thirty-siX years was connected with the Nauga- tuck railroad at Thomaston. Of these only Mrs Cunningham survives.
 These people were of good old Irish stock-honest, upright and indus trious, who acquired a competence, and brought up their families to be useful members of the community.
 Mrs Heffernan was probably the best known of the older Catholic women in Waterbury. She was noted for her unostentatious charity No one ever applied to her for aid in vain and though her good deeds were not emblazoned in the public prints, they will be held in grateful memory of her by many all over the city.
 She was devout Catholic and was always a member of the Immaculate Conception parish. She was promin- ent in any good work for the church, and a generous contributor to its funds. A few years ago, with Mir Heffernan and their daughter Mary. she made a visit to Rome, and 1t was always a source of satisfaction to her that they had an audience with Pope Leo XIII, and received his personal blessing.
 During her illness Mrs Heffernan suffered patiently. She was always cheerful and appreciative and when she realized that the end was near. her only desire was that she mig,,t live long enough to receive the last absolution of the church from the hands of her own son. This favor was vouchsafed her. and she died peaceful and happy.
 She leaves. besides her husband MT 2 Heffernan. six children, Daniel T Hart, secretary of the Manvile Ma chine Co.: Catherine, the wife of Mar tin H. Brennan. president of tine Manville Machine O.: Elizabeth c. Hart, vice-principal of the Melton street school. Rev Joseph Heffernan. O. P, pastor of St Peters church m Memphis, Tenn.

WHO GOT THE MONEY
Labor Union Explains About Ills
 Souvenir Book.

.Hn J
 The Bricklayers, Masons and Plas- terers' union has sent out statement concerning the publication of a sou venir book. It will be remembered that some of the candidates in the last city election claimed to hand contributions toward this book. The union says it has not received any of the contributions and explains it's position as follows:
 New Haven, Oct 2S, 1907. To whom this may concern
 in the daily press recently, in which the name of William O'Brien, our solicitor was mentioned, which to our minds are so misleading 10 our friends that we deem it necessary to explain in full, all particulars rela- tive to the souvenir book in which we are interested. ..r .ss
 The book is published by Brick layers and Plasterers' union No 6, and Masons' union No ', both located at New Haven, under whose aus pices the Connecticut state confer ence will meet November 11th and 12th, 1907. The proceeds go towards defraying the expenses of the con vention. ''''
 In order that no fraud would be perpetrated in our name, we refused to let the book out by contract. In this way the book is under our direct supervision. The solicitors are in our employ, and are responsible to LIS for their acts. Our friends will observe that the genuine printed con- tract blanks and receipts are issued by unions Nos and '. Should our solicitors receive a contract or sub scription which does not meet with the approval of our union in any To- cality. the same will not be accepted by this committee. Before the book goes to the printer. the committee will review all contracts presented by the solicitors. We reserve the right to ac- cept or reject any contract entered into with our solicitor and will re- turn all contracts or subscriptions re- Jecteu. u IS our dlll lo -Sudldn;ee and see that our friends get the value for the money expend- ed.
 We sincerely trust that this ex- planation will satisfy our friends that we intend to give them all a square deal. We value our reputation too much to be parties to any fraud. We will prosecute any person who per petrates any fraud in our name.

MAKING ESTIMATES
Large Receipts From Water May
 Cause Another Drop.

The board of public works met yesterday afternoon and completed work on the estimates for 1908, making the total $56S,4OO. Of this amount the first district claims $139,600, and the second, s428,S00, exclusive of a IA mill for park inn provement, which the commissioners have asked for.
 In the first district an item of $3,000 has been added for repairs and maintenance of water pipes; storm water drainage is estimated at $S,000 instead of $5,0O0; voting ma chimes are placed at $11, 500, instead of $l9,0O0, the state road appropria- tion is placed at $2,000 instead of at $5,O00, and in the second district, the improvement of Cooke street is figured at $S,0O0 and the Clark street extension at $17,500.
 It was voted to recommend to the aldermen transfers to the use of new work on the streets $1,O00 from street surveys, and $500 from sewers new work in the first district and $1,500 from street assessments, $500 from lamps and gas; $1,5OO from street spripkling and $2,50O from sideWa'ks-new work. .-
 The water rents for the past six months were received, signed and ordered transmitted to the collector. They amounted to $93,33S,64, as against $90,426.c2, for the preced- ing half year, an increase of $2,912.- O2. This is on the new schedule, which in some instances practically doubles the cost to very heavy con- sumers, but reduces the price con- siderably to small consumers. The receipts show that there is room for another drop in the price which would be more popular than the last one, because it would lessen the price to all consumers.

WHY WOMEN AGE QUICKLY
Fail to rest Systcmatically-Slecp
the Best Medicine.

Lack of repose is a prime factor
in the causation of nerves" SAYS
Elizabeth s. Cbesser, NJ. b., in the
London Express; the constant rush
in the social and business world, the
frantic pursuit of pleasure and
amusement are frequent precursors
of nervous ill-health.
The working woman ages quickly
and loses her looks ten years be
fore her domesticated sister, simply
because she refuses to rest enough.
She comes to her meals in Il tagged
condition, and is surprised that she
has no appetite. A short bodily rest
before meals would make all the
difference. Then, hard working men
and women alike should always have
at least half an hours complete men,
tai and physical rest after meals.
Systematic resting at meal times is
better than desultory, though longer
continued rests, at other times.

while sound refreshing slumber at

repair.
The placid easy going people can
afford to curtail their rest; they sell
dom do; but those of nervous, en-
ergetic disposition require all the
sleep they can get. Their wear and
tear is excessive, and when the sym
ptoms of irritability and worry APP

that the brake is required. Unfort-
unately most people at this stage re-
sort to drugs and strong tea, medi-
cine and alcohol. They feel the need
of stimulants or sedatives.
Sleep is the best and cheapest
medicine, and 1t is within the reach
of everybody. We require as much
sleep as we can procure. We may
work at high pressure If we sleep
enough. but If we overwork and un-

is neglect of sleep. The woman who
curtails her sleep begins to worry.
