FOUGHT THE OFFICER
He Laid Out Six of Them and Brought in Two.

Half a dozen fellows who drank more than was good for them at For est park last evening made trouble for Special Officer Patrick J. Roche at the trolley terminus. They were giving vent to their feelings in loud and boisterous shouts and the officer in duty bound requested them to keep still as they were committing breach of the peace. They paid no attention to the good advice or re- quest, but in fact shouted the louder and threw their hats in their air and defied the officer.
 Officer Roche is a quiet man and he has never been known to inter- fere with any citizens rights or priv ilege. At the same time when inter- fered with he is able to take care of himself, so when the half dozen drunken fellows pitched into him down they went, one after the other. Some were knocked down by the by his clenched fists. It was six against one and the one was yictori- ous. Still he had been given few punches and, his face this morning bore testimony of their force. Yet he succeeded in landing two of the half dozen, Stanley Davis and John Ray. They were in the dock in court this morning charged with assault ing the officer, but their trial did not take place as the cases were not ready.

MANY VIOLATORS
Members of Municipal Boards
 Always Sold 10 the City.

That charter provision which states that no member of city board shall furnish labor or material to the municipality has always been dead letter, and 1t looks rather strange to see it's resurrection at this hour of the day. But it comes up once in so often and then disappears not to reappear again until some body's corns are hurt. Somebody called attention to this same provis- ion during the business administra- ton when the late M. J. Daly, then a member of the safety board, got the contract for the North Willow street engine house. but nobody took any stock in 1t. It was also men, tioned during the same administra- ton whenever Thomas F. Jackson of the department of public works sold the city a few feet of curbing. The same thing was said of Fred Brown, who was said to have a corner on the city's insurance while he was connected with MT Elton's adminis- tration, but what did it amount to? People used to turn up their noses. too, when Ralph Blakeslee's teams were seen working for the street de- partment when he was member of three or four boards, and on one oc- casion d marrow minded competitor threw his hands in the afr and shouted fraud" when Commissioner Thomas D. Barlow of the board of public works did some small jobs. To be honest about this thing, one might just as we'll come out flat footed and state that the charter provision referred to never was ob- served on either side of the house. but for some reason or other the re- publicans. while offending against it oftener than their neighbors, always had most to say about it. They take the position of the wayward. They don't believe that example teaches better than precept, and work along the lines of the wayward preacher who counseied his hearers not to fol- low in his footsteps. but to keep on the path pointed out by him in his discourse.

NAUGHTY IN THE PARK
Two More Men Receive Fines in
 ihe City Court.

Antonio Salerno, who was once a soldier in the Italian army with De- tective Thomas Colesanto, was be- fore Judge Peasley in the city court to-day charged with disorderly con duct in Hamilton park yesterday af- ternoon. Officer Delehanty and Charles Hennessey, special consta- ble, stated that the mans conduct alarmed two women with small chill dren. They said if the park was given up to such men as Salerno de- cent people would not go there. and that Salerno followed them several times through the walks in the park.
 Salerno's story was that he merely wished to avoid the women. He did not want to annoy them and when he thought they were not in sight they. in fact, were locking at him. Detective Colesanto stated that he went to school with the accused and served in the army with him in Italy and the man was taken sick once. Since then there are times when he is not entirely right in his mind. He has been about six years in the coun- try. A fine of $15 and costs was i'm posed.
 Mary Fitzgerald was committed to Brookside for thirty days for intoxi- cation.
 John Davenport of Hartford was fined $7 and costs for intoxication.
 August Meyers, victim of the at fractions of Hamilton park, was fined $10 and costs for intoxication and disorderly conduct.

THE DIET OF CONSERVATIVES.
overfeedlng Recommended. But Prop
 CT Digestion Must Be Assured.

Herbert c. Clapp, of Boston, writing In the Medical Record. says that diet is a most important factor in the treatment of tuberculosis. A con sumptive Is much more likely to eat too little than too much. Systematic overfeeding with proper digestion of the food are the accepted remedies. The food must be palatable and we'll served and the amount must vary with the patient and his circum- stances. The outdoor air | n enable him to assimilate large amounts. Milk and eggs are the best foods to pro- duce fats, which are most necessary to the patient The author advocates three solid meals day. with lunches between of milk and eggs, about three quarts of milk and six eggs a day be- ing taken. Fresh meats are especially necessary for these patients. but a. mixed diet is undoubtedly the best borne. Meat juice is valuable. Pastry. candy, fried foods and cabbage should be let alone. Alcohol Is not advisable. but coffee. tea and chocolate may be taken moderately.

Cleaning Plume..

Personally. 1 have had very good re- suits by washing white feathers in warm soap and water. adding a little borax. using about the same process as one would in washing ordinary articles. soaping and rubbing in the same way and then rinsing in clear water, says a writer in the Washing. ton Post. Until dry, must say. they are most sorry looking objects. but once thoroughly dry-the open air and sun combined are best-the result Is a perfectly clean. fluffy feather. Of course. It needs curling.
 For dry cleaning soap suds and gasoline are put into a wide-moutheS bottle. then the feather is immersed and the bottle made alright Shake several times during the hours the feather is left in the bottle. then take out. rinse In clear gasoline and hang up to dry.

THE WAY OF THE WORLD.
But One of the Mourners for Great
 Man Had Solace.

The great man lay dead. The news papers rang with his praises and men passed them from mouth to mouth; a gloom hung over the community, and the child. his friend, wept bitterly. The busy man said, T saw him on the street not long ago, and he looked i'll and downhearted wish I'd crossed over to speak to him, but was just hurrying for my train. He was good friend of mine, and I might have cheered him up bit and told him how we missed him everywhere. It's too bad, too bad!" The thoughtless man said, T can never forgive my. self. 1 knew he was sick for week, but I had this great meeting to ar range for, and 1t just slipped my mind. He stood by me nobly when l was in trouble years ago. can never forgive myself" The child pressed a tear-stained face against the window. Why did you want so much to take him that flower last Sunday?" asked her mother. Because I loved him." said the child, simply. She was watch ing the wonderful array of flowers. which men had sent. as they were carried into the church. 70, mother, see how beautiful they are! wish could go with you to the church; but l suppose might disturb people by crying. And anyway" she added, q don't mind so much. you see; for I've given him my flower. He had that to enjoy."-Youth's Companion.

Motor Car Rights
Fixed by Courts

The law OF the roads as to
automobiles was enunciated for
the first time by the supreme
court of Iowa yesterday.
The owners Of automobiles
have the same rights in the
road and on streets as the
drivers of horses or those rid
ing bicycles or travelling by
some other vehicle.
But they are to use this
means of locomotion with due
regard for the rights Of others
having occasion to travel on
the highways.
"There is nothing more in
the principles of law to be ap-
piled with respect to travel in
them on highways.
"All that is exacted is a rea-
sonable care and caution for
the safety of others.
"Of course noises incident to
the operation of the machine
are not of themselves, negli-
gent. Noises may be emitted

stances as to render them liza
bic as for negligence.
"The operator is charged
with notice of the fact as to
noises emitted and with the
duty of handling his own vehi-
Gle as not to unduly interfere
with the use of the highway by
others.
GAS said in Indiana Springs
Co., VS. Brown, inferring to
those travelling in automobiles
and other modes: Each
is required to regulate his own
by the observance of ordinary
care and caution to avoid re-
ceiving injury as we'll as in
flicting injury upon the others
and in this the quantum Of
care required is to be estimated
by ths exegencies of the pecul-
lar situation. :"
In the case before the court,
H. M. Cramer ran his car up to
a blacksmith shop in Missouri
Valley, before which was
hitched a team belonging to
Hugh House. He was on a
errand for a fellow autoist
who wanted a repair. He
stopped his machine but did not
stop the sparker. The very
moment he stopped the ma.
chine, the House horses reared
up, broke away and ran.
House sued for damages and
recovered. The supreme court
says that no case was made for
the jury, and reversed the judg.
ment of the lower court. 1t
decides that Cramer had a
right to be there, that he did
not display negligence and nc
fair recovery is possible.
