was one against Ambrose Bratton
and Francis Bratton upon the
charge Of misusing the mails.
They were convicted and fined $500
each, and sentenced to six months

years ago Mrs. Bratton was post
mistress and the charges grew out
Of some irregularities while she
held the Office, though we failed to

not much capital to go on, SO the

HE GUESSED HER AGE.

Among the corps Of instructors in
one of Washington's high schools is
a woman highly esteemed as teach
er of American history. The class
under her care had under considera-
ton one day topics concerning the
civil war, when one lad volunteered,
in illustration of some point, a lurid
account of a battle in which, he
claimed. an uncle of his had partici-
pated.
The teacher interposed to OBJ
serve that the anecdote could hardly
be true, as the uncle IN question was
near her own age, and she was not
born until after the close Of the war.
At this the boy seemed trife
chagrined at being SO EVIDENT Y IN
the wrong. After a few moments of
embarrassed silence, he said, with
the naive air Of one who has much
the best of the situation:
ooh, but, Miss Blank, | did not
mean the revolutionary war lip
plncott's.

This lodge has been organized

which is a most remarkable record.
Quite a large crowd of friends
and acquaintance attended the
wedding at the Catholic church
Tuesday morning of Miss Mary
Miller to Mr.. Joe Hoyt. The
happy couple repaired to the home
of the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs
Pete Miller, where a big reception
and dinner was given them.
The fire alarm was sounded
about 10 O'Clock Tuesday, and at
once the volunteer hremen rushed
to Mrs. John Scoggins, but before
the streams of water could be got
into play the entire building was
in flames, but by hard and per
sistent work the back part of the
house, barns, etc, were saved.
The fire caught from a defective
fue in the front part Of the house
and the flames had made consider
able Roadway before they were dis
covered. This was the first fire
since the waterworks were put in
and every one was loud in their
praise at the pressure, which was
indeed splendid.
Several thousand feet of con-
crete sidewalk is being laid by
contractors this week. We trust
the good work will go on until
every street in the city has good
walks from one end to the other.
Circuit court adjourned yester-
day and Judge Basham and At
torney Jacoway returned to their
homes. Judge Basham made a
splendid presiding officer and in
creased his high standing, if pos
slble, among our people. Prose
cutting Attorney Jacoway also did
himself proud in the performance
of his duties, and his friends re
greet very much that he declines
to stand for reelection. His
speech in the Mason case was es-
pecially strong and eloquent, and
it was conceded by all to have
been the finest speech delivered at
this term of court. The officials
Of the court and local bar last
Friday presented him with a
handsome silver loving cup as a
wedding present, he having only
recently been married.

same stupid dishonesty, but it is the case of Walker which carries to the Connecticut mind it's impression of the futility of attempting to sink to the depths of depravity and remain there undisturbed as if society could afford to neglect it's responsibility in that connection. Walker says he will talk when he returns to New Britain Why should he talk? What hes he to add to the miserable story which has been written by the hand of human experi- en& from the day he stole hls f1rst GoHar to the day which saw his piti- ful return home chained to ali officer of the Iawe:
 One thing may be said of Walk CT and that is that he has succeeded in personifying a more impressive ser mon than any hand could write or brlin conceive. He has not orly expos ed fully the fruitlessness of attempting to change the wages of sin but he has given warning to every other reformer in his line of work that the world has become too small to hide in. His possi- ble initator can now cost the price before stealing the goods.

GOOD WORK IN CHICAGO.

Score another for the windy and
 wicked city. The establishment of a
 chain of free dispensaries in Chicago for the treatment of consumption marks an advance in the united efforts to eliminate the scourge which de- stroys so many lives needlessly. At these special departments of the gen. eral dispensaries of five leading med- ical institutions and the dispensary of the United Hebrew Charities examin- atious of all who have consumption, or fear that they have it, will be made without charge by skilled physicians on two days of each week. A trained nurse is stationed at each of the tuberculo losis departments of dispensa- fies and will be present at the diag- nosis of each patient Then she will go with the patient to his home, will impress upon him the doctors insruc- tions as to simple and wholesome diet and will suggest ways to secure an abundance of fresh air in his sleep ing and living rooms. If she finds that he is in poor financial circumstances she will secure from private or public charity agencies assistance for him and

Not the least of the latter is the matter of opening the museums and art galleries. In Florence. Rome, Vienna, Paris, Berlin and a hundred other places on the continent these places are crowded to the doors quite as regularly as Sunday comes around. It is looked on as a pleasure by the majority of those who go, but it is, nevertheless, a civic education.
 The foreign element which would be sure to appreciate such an act on the part of the Yale authorities is a large one; the numbers of our own citizens who never have ali opportunity. with these two institutions open to the pub lie daily except Sundays, ss they are now, to see the many real treasures that these buildings contain are many.

But at the art school and Pea. body Museum there seems to be an, other field capable of as great results
