EXERCISING STUDENTS.
A Drill Trinity Men Were Put
 Through in Hartford

Among the changes that have taken place at Trinity within the last few years none has been more heartily welcomed than the new system of compulsory exercise. Previous to the arrival of the present instructor. pr Swan, the work was all of one character. The members of the two lower classes were required to go to the gymnasium on two afternoons a week and take part in a uniform drill Three years ago the trustees voted to make the department of physical training regular part of the curricu- lum and the instructor was made a member of the faculty. At this time Dr Swan came to Trinity from Wes- leyan where he had been for some years. He immediately began to put into practice his ideas for healthy outdoor exercise.
 At a recent afternoon practice the advantages of his efforts were exhib- ited. All the members of the class were requested to report in the gym nasium, but after that all the work was divided into two squads and a game of basketball was played on the dirt courts. A certain amount of wand drill was also given to the un- der classmen. but they seemed to en- joy 1t much more than they did in the confines of the building At the close of the games the entire class went for a short cross country run in the neighborhood of the campus. A bath and a rub down completed the days work. Every under cIassman in Trinity has to take his part in the routine unless he is excused to play on a varsity team.

MAY BE INSANE
Richard Cooper's Friends Want
 an Examination Made.

Richard Cooper, the enterprising egg pedler whose faculty for not re- turning with change to his custom erss got him into trouble with the law a few days ago, is to be examined for his sanity. In the city court to- day, his cornsel, Attorney Kelley, stated that ine young mans friends hint at insanity, for they have been observing strange conduct in him for some time. MT Kelley said he has filed with the probate court an appli- cation to have the young man exam ined and expects to have a hearing early next week. If it is the opinion of the physicians that the young man is unbalanced in his mind, he will have to be sent away, if not, he will probably have to bear the consequent ces of his illegal enterprise in trying to sell eggs for $5 and S10 dozen.

THE POLICE COURT.
Fred Blodgett Given a Fine of $40
 and Costs.

Young Fred Blodgett turned out to be the assailant of the Hebrew rag picker on Franklin court the other day. Blodgett has cost his father a good deal of money this year to set tie with the law for him. His trip to Wolcott fair cost him about S21, he being one of the participants in the riot that took place there. If the rag picker was as much hurt as the bandages about his face made him look to be. he must have been badly injured \ fine of S40 and costs was imposed. John Smith from Boston, charged with intOxication. was given the alternative of going back to the bean town or to jail.
 Mrs Jane Conaty was committed to jail for sixty days for intoxica- tion and breach of the peace.
 Mrs Eddy of Jefferson street tes- tiied against Michael TurIey of Pros pect, who was charged with intoxica- tiOn and disOrderly conduct. Hurley was fined S15 and costs.

 A similar case against Patrick Shea was continued until Monday.

NO CARNEGIE MEDAL
City Clerk Sandlsnd Receives
 Letter From F. W. WIlmot.

What do you think of this? Nc Carnegie medal for Patrolman John Cavanaugh, who almost lost his life one Sunday morning a few weeks age when he jumped into the waters oi the Manhan canal and rescued an Italian boy from drowning.
 The act of the officer at that time aroused such comment that several of MT Cavanaugh's friends and well wishers asked City Clerk William H Sandland to write to the Carnegie commission and informed it of the officers heroic act. It was the city clerk who was instrumental in secur. ing the medal which was awarded tc Thomas Bockwitch so be wrote. He told all the circumstances of the res cue and how the officer endangered his own life. Yesterday he re- ceived from F. w. Wilmot of Pitts burg, general manager of the com mission the following reply:
 MT w. H. Sandland,
 City Clerks Office,
 Waterbury.
 Dear Sir:--Your letter of the 23rd calling the attention of the hero com mission to the case of Patrolman John Cavanaugh was duly received. The Carnegie hero fund commission ap- plies to acts in which conclusive evi- dence may be obtained showing that the person performing the act volun- tarily risked his own life in saving or attempting to save, the life of a fellow being, and such acts must be performed by persons, the nature of whose duties in following their regu- lar vacations does not necessarily re- quire them to perform. While Patrol man Cavanaugh is to be commended for his act, it having been performed in his line of duty and not of such an extraordinary character as to war rant an exception to the rule in such cases, his case, I regret to say cannot be given further consideration.
 Yours truly,
 F. w. WILMOT.

milk at a reasonable price than with those who think they never can get enough for it. How do you account for this? Nobody knows. but g blind man can see that it is 90. Perhaps it Is due in some degree to the fact that grasping mortals are very taIkative and as a consequence the trust advo- cates never lose an opportunity to give their opponents a knock and by systematic effort in this and other ways they finally convince the public that dealers who aim to take milk out of their babies mouths are their friends while those who are making a fight to put 1t within their reach are down right enemies
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-11-02

The milk question in Waterbury is all in the air. so far as the price is concerned. but in the end it Is believ- ed that the combine will be in the as- tendency and dealers who do not think it necessary to push up the prices will turn in with the others and take all they can get for their stock. It is a strange situation, any way. Some of the milkmen furnish a pretty good argument in favor of the high price while others can show that they are able to deliver the ar- tfele at the old figure and get a fair return for the money invested No doubt this Is true Some can furnish milk cheaper than others. the same is true in nearly every other line of business 4 man who has his own stock and his own feed can do better by his customers than one who has to go to the market for everything and pay the highest penny for it- And again. a dealer who does not figure upon getting an automobile for his family and spending the sumner at the shore CT in the mountains can sell cheaper than his Eors zmbitio1s nssShbor who wants all thsss things

The blessing of Ready Cash

Promptness in the payment of small

tribute at all seasons to the comfort Of
everybody, but more especially now, in
the beginning of the year, when there
are few who do not have something to
pay or to receive. Money makes the

Ready cash is the one essential, and
when it circulatcs freely from hand to

much of blessing as the gentle dew,

Elre, Az, Earth and Water.

che doctrine that man Is made Of the
fo1r elements is frequently referred to
by Shakespeare. 1t forms the theme
of two connected sonnets, the forty
fourth and forty-fifth, written in alb
sence from the friend to whom his
sonnets are addressed. The dull ele-
ments of earth and water cannot leap
across the distance which separates
him from his friend-that is, the theme
Of the forty fourth sonnet The other
two elements, air and FIRE. are gone on
embassy to his friend, leaving him
mere earth and water:
MY life, being made Of four. with two

Sinks down to death. oppressed with mel

Until life's composition be recured
