Work House.
SUPREME COURT DECIDES
And Work Must Be Provided For

States Attorney w. j. Meagher has
received from Attorney General Clark
G. Fits OF Brattleboro a notice to the
effect that In accordance with recent
decision OF the supreme court hereafter
all alternative sentences la convictions
for intoxication must be TO the county
jail and not TO the house OF correction
At Rutland. Alternative sentences for
breaches OF the peace may be TO the
house OF correction but each county
must take care OF It's intoxication
cases
A Law enacted by the last Legislature
provided that persons convicted Of
minor offences can be put at work In
such manner a. the county officials
might see III. The Law was presumab-
ly enacted both for the purpose OF cor
recting an Increasing class Of often.
ces aud also TO provide a means where
by prisoners might be made 10 at least
partially pay their way while In con.
linement.
The law has been carried out In one
or two cases but has not been put into
general use throughout the state. 10
stances OF intoxication have been dis
posed OF 10 the usual manner and there
has been but little change The decis.
Ion OF the supreme court, however,
puts u different complexion on things,
as hereafter the expense OF keeping all
persons convicted OF intoxlcatlon must
be borne by the counties.
just previous TO the receipt OF In.
s,ructions from the attorney general
Joseph Mcdonald was convicted OF a
second offence OF intoxication and sen
fenced To the house OF correction. A.
TER Mir Fits letter was received II was
necessary 70 resentepce Mcdonald TO
tvo months In the county jail. Uoder
these circumstances States Attorney
Meagher has decided that some means
ought 10 be provided whereby the ex.
pense OF maintaining Mcdonald for
90 days should not all fall upon the
county and meeting Of the county OF.
heials Is being arranged To make some
plan OF operation. According 10 the
recent law Mcdonald may be put at

SPECIAL
MESSAGE
Governor Hughes Urges Re.
count Bill on Assembly.
MEANS AN EXTRA SESSION
When Senator Armstrong Asked
For Unanimous Consent For
Measures Passage.

ALBANY. ~ Y. May Ex-Governor
Hughes sent 10 the legislature special
message urging the passage Of the so
called New York recount bill Of As
semblyman Prentice. which provides
judicial procedure for the recounting
OF the ballots cast IN the Mcclellan
Hearst mayoralty election In New York
city In 1905. The governor also rec
ommends that the legislature postpone
It's final adjournment until after the
bill shall have become n law.
The message OF the governor caused
a sensation. not alone because OF IT'S
subject. but because II indicates n pos
siblc indefinite postponement OF fnai
adjournment. Further than that. IL
was construed 10 mean that should the
legislature fall to pass the recount bill
the governor would summon an ex-
trnordlnary session for the purpose.
The measure had been buried far
down the general orders calendar.
When the governors message arriy-
ed Senator Armstrong at one asked
unanimous consent that the recount
bill be put upon lis iinal passage.
II objectr' shouted Senators McCar-
ren and Mccall.
The message then went 20 the table
until the bin should be- reached.
Senator Ackroyd Dem. Utica then
got Into action. Some local bill ~
celved from the assembly was read.
and somebody asked unanimous con-
sent that II be advanced TO third read
Ing
mo: II can't be advanced. I object"
exclaimed Senator Ackroyd. This ne
count bill IL buried In the general or
ders calendar Ia my professional ca
pacity as an undertaken intend that
all other bills shall be buried thero
with II unless Il II taken out aud
passed"
No pleadIngs availed 20 move him.
and bin after bill went into the general
orders list. which at this stage Of tho
session practically means hopeless OBJ
livion. In fact. the general orders cal
endar l. now called the graveyard"

Persons who have irritability Of the heart should not drink hot water. Hot water will cause palpitatiOn in such cases. Persons with dIated stomachs should avoid the drinking of hot water; persons afflicted with "sour stomachs;" :" persons who have soreness of the stomach or pain induced by light pres sure should also refrain from drinking 1t. Hot water will relieve thirst bet ter than cold water, and for that pur- pose it should not be condemned, but hot water is an eXcitant, and in cases in which irritation of the stomach ex- tsts it should be avoided.
