4 WIrD NIGHT.

Monday night was a wild night. A lively imagination might have con- ceived the notion that the powers of the air were wrestling for the control of New Haven, even as in the day. time the powers of politics had wres- tied for it. A still llvelier imagination might have thought that the commo- ton was caused by the efforts of evil spirits which had been cast out and were making as much disturbance as they could before leaving. This mo- tion would require bitter partisan ship as we'll as a fiery imagination, and perhaps there is not enough of both in New Haven to work that way. But whatever was going on, 1t is cer- tain that more of our elegant elrns, which had already suffered severely this fall. were damaged. It is to be hoped that both Democrats and Re- pubiicans will unite in trying to repair the damage. The wind did the damage

PEASANTS FOUGHT BRAvELY
Repeatedly Face Artillery Fire
With Fearful Results.

Bucharest, Roumania, April 6.-The
determined bravery OF the insurgent
peasantry in the recent fighting is
illustrated by a story Of the battle of
Balaneshti, near Craiova, published in
local newspaper. The insurgents,
who numbered 10000, armed with
guns, axes, knives and scythes and
accompanied by their wives and chill
dren, made desperate attack on a
body Of Roumanian infantry and artil-
lery. The latter opened fire, killing
large numbers of the peasants, who,
after an unequal combat, retreated to
a village, carrying their dead and dy-
ing. Half an hour later long funeral
procession. headed by priest, issued
from the village, the coffin being fol
lowed by thousands OF weeping peas
ants AS they approached the troops
the commandant ordered the mourn
ers to halt, but they pressed on and
were met by volley, which killed or
wounded several of them. After fur
ther fighting the remainder OF the
peasants fed, leaving the coffin. which,
when the soldiers examined 1t, was
found to be empty. A few minutes
later the peasants again attacked the
troops, meeting the same fate. Artil-
lery was then brought into action and
the insurgents were summoned to
evacuate the town within three hours.
The peasants utilized the interval to
unite their forces and made fourth
assault on the troops, advancing In
the face OF the artillery fire and rife
volleys and getting into hand to hand
conflicts with the soldiers. The peas
ants, however, were defeated in the
end and the houses of the village were
razed to the ground by the fire OF the
field guns.

report from Washington that the
Standard Oil company and associated
interests had raised fund of $1,000

the story was: 1T Is simply absurd;

A representative of interests closely

New York, April 6.-Much uncer-

Thaw is Sane, according to the finding
OF the commission In lunacy. which

ton may end with the report and he
may yet have to spend many weary
weeks Of Imprisonment before his fate
Is decided.
This contingency. II It should occur,
will be because OF District Attorney

he has determined to appeal from
Justice Fitzgerald's ruling that he

commission. The appeal win be In

New York, April 8.-The trial of
Harry X. Thaw for the murder of
Stanford White probably will be con-
cluded next week. District Attorney
Jerome has decided that he will not
ask the appellate division of the su-
preme court for a writ of prohibition
against the continuance Of the trial

however, on Monday make an argu-

confirmation by the justice OF the re-
port of the commission In lunacy
which declared that Thaw was capa-
bic Of appreciating and understanding

QUICK REMEDIES FOR cRAMp.
Not Hard to Get Relief From This
Painful Affliction.

DO your little growing folks wake
up in the night with cramp in their
toes or legs? If so. tell them to slide
down to the foot of the bed and press
their toes hard against the footboard.
This seldom fails to bring relief Even
the tiniest tot can do this for herself
when she wakes up in alarm at the
big pain In her leg.
Should this fail, and sometimes
when the cramp is up by the knee, 1t
is not efficient, tell the sufferer to
press the sole of her cramped foot
against the instep of the other. Press
good and hard, and the pressure, to-
gether with the warmth and electric
ity drawn from the well foot, will GER
tainly bring relief unless the case is
very stubborn. To treat the "knot-
ty," stubborn kind of cramp. which
sometimes seizes the little folks when
they are nervous. or IL they have
eaten something which does not agree
with them, to tie broad band fla
theirs handkerchief, folded, will an
swer,) tightly above the cramped part.
Rubbing, unless one knows just how
to manipulate the muscle, often does
more harm than good. The doctors
tell us that cramp of this kind Is as
much nervous as q muscular trouble.
II your children suffer frequently
with it, good warm bath with an
alcohol rub at night is a good pre-
ventive. d. N.

LIFE INSURANCE ACTIVITY.
The New York Life's Business Nearly
Up to the Legal Limit.

The New York Life Insurance Com.
pany announces that its new paid
business during the half year just end
ed was over seventy million dollars.
AS the new law allows no life COM
pany to write over one hundred and
fifty millions per year, 1t would APP
pear that this company is working
nearly up to the limit. The New
York Life gained such Roadway be-
fore the law was passed and suffered
80 little, comparatively, from the Arm
strong investigation, that the question
with its management has been how to
keep business down to the limit, rath.
er than how to reach IL. No other
company is writing nearly as much
as the law allows. The New York
Life has evidently become a pre-
ferred company.
The company's payments TO policy
holders during the six months end
Ing June 80 were $21, 660,761. 1t Is
interesting to note that this amount
was almost equally divided between
payments under policies maturing by
death and payments made to living
policy holders. Thus. while death
claims We're $l1,1S0,626, the amount
paid for matured endowments, annu-
tiles, trust fund installments, for pur-
chased policies and for dividends was
$10,4S0,135. Modern life insurance, as
practiced by the best companies, en-
braces a wide field, and covers many
contingencies. 1t Is money saved for
the aged, as well as money provided
for the families Of those who die pre-.
maturely.

SMUGGLING IS POPULAR

'These trunks are designed primarily

diamonds, pieces of jewelry and other

These trunks are made very clever

will be worked with some success this
year. They used to make these trunks
with false bottoms of such depth that
the deception was quickly discovered.
They do them much better now and
our inspectors will have to keep a
sharp lookout to prevent fraud. Only
the most experienced inspectors who
have handled trunks for years can
gauge these false distances accurately

Courtesy at Home.

We are all creatures of habit,
men and women alike, and the habits
and surroundings OF daily life have a
powerful influence on the character OF
both. The root Of all bad manners Is
selflshness; when self ever is first, fore
most consideration for others always
Tags much in the rear, and drops so
far behind in time that It disappears
altogether. zone cannot keep up the
ceremony and etiquette of society
when at home" True, for between
friends these can be laid aside. They
merely are the rivets that keep So
ciety together, but not courtesy and
consideration. The latter ought to
be so much the habit with each OF us
that 1t will become our second nature.
and therefore can be no. more laid
aside than can an arm or a leg.
