SMITH IS HELD
Man Accused of AsSauItiDg Eleven Year Old Girl on
 Wednesday Afternoon.

Judge Burpee held a special session of the city court at ? o'clock this af- ternoon for the purpose of trying the case against Charles H. Smith, aged Is, for criminally assaulting Helen Matthews, aged II, and to protect her and her chum, Elsie Mitchell from the rude gaze of a crowded court room.
 Smiths wife was present, as was the mother of Helen also. Smith was driver for the Waterbury Ice cor poration and was married last May. His wife is a waitress. They live at l5l Bank street. Helen's mother is employed at the Waterbury Steam laundry on Canal street
 The assault occurred Wednesday afternoon and at o'clock Smith was arrested. He admitted to Detective keegan, who arrested him, that he did assault the girl, and he made a similar admission to his wife in the lookup.
 Attorney Russell, counsel for Smith, held at first that it was a case of blackmail, for, it is said Smith S father is quite well off, being the re- puted owner of considerable land in the north end. He was not in court at all events. The state, however, held it was not blackmail, having had the evidence of Dr E. w. Goodenough. Still to satisfy Attorney Russell an- other doctor was engaged and his statement only confirmed Dr Good enough's.
 The witnesses at the trial were Helen, her chum, Elsie, Dr Good enough, Detective Keegan and Ser geant Blakely. There was no defense and Smith was held for the superior court in bail of $2,000.

Two Cent Fare on Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia, Sept. Extending the final decision of the supreme court of the state on the constitutionality of the two cent mile railroad rate bill, officials of the Pennsylvania railroad have not yet reached a definite con clusion in regard to changes in the present schedule of rates. Confident that the decision of the Philadelphia court will be sustained by the higher court the company is nevertheless alive to the possibilities of a reversal, and, while round trip excursion and communication rates will probably re- main as at present, it is believed that all straight fares will be put on a fiat two cent basis after Oct. and remain in force until the contest has been finally settled.

ELECTRIC CURE FOR FATIGUE
Professor Ledue Discusses Perfect
 Method For Anaesthesia.


 Method For Anaesthesia.
 Paris, Sept. 13.-Stephane Leduc, the eminent professor of the School of Medicine at Nantes, has discovered a method of causing electric sleep which, 1t is declared, will replace chloroform and other anaesthetics in all surgical operations. The discovery proceeded from study of the effects of intermit- tent currents and from the knowledge that the skull and brain offer but little resistance to the currents.
 For human being a current of thir- ty-five volts is applied intermittently in it's full strength for minute fractions of second. Two electrodes are ap- piled to the skull in a special manner, the points of application being first carefully shaved Professor Leduc made scores of experiments on dogs and on himself. All were successful. His remedy, he says, is a sure cure for fatigue.

Always to Be Depended Upon.

When person gets up in the morn.
ing with dull headache and a tired,
stretchy feeling, it's an almost certain
indication that the liver, or bowels,
or both, are decidedly out of order.
AT such times Nature, the wisest
and best of doctors, takes this means
to give warning that she needs the
help and gentle assistance which can
best be obtained from that old fam
lily remedy, Brandreth's Pills, which
has been in use for over a century.
They are the same fine laxative
tonic pill your grandparents used
when doctors were few and far be-
tween, and when people had to have
a remedy that could absolutely be de-
pended upon.
Brandreth's Pills can be depended
upon, and are sold in every drug and
medicine store, plain or sugar-coated.

COSTLY PRESSURE.
Heart and Nerves Fail on Coffee.

A resident of great western state
puts the case regarding stimulants
with a comprehensive brevity that is
admirable. He says:
Il am Sc years old and have had con.
siderable experience with stimulants.
They are all alike-a mortgage on re.
served energy at ruinous interest. AS
the whip stimulates but does not
strengthen the horse, so do stimulants
act upon the human system. Feeling
this way, | gave up coffee and all
other stimulants and began the use of
Postum Food coffee some months ago.
The beneficial results have been ap-
parent from the first. The rheumatism
that | used to suffer from has left me.
| sleep sounder, my nerves are stead
Ter and my brain clearer. And bear
testimony also to the food value of
Postum--something that is lacking in
coffee" Name given by Postum Co..
Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason.

quaint little book in pkgs.

The FIRST TW!NGE
Of Rheumatism Calls for Or. Williams
Pink Pills If You Would Be
Easily Cured.

Mr.. Frank Little, a well known citi-
zen of Portland, Ionia Co., Mich, was
cured of severe case of rheumatism
by DR.. Williams Pink Pills. In speak
ing about it recently, he said: my
body was run down and III 10 condi.
ton to Withstand disease and about
FIVE years ago | began to feel rheu-
matte pains in my arms and across
my back. My arms and legs grew
numb and the rheumatism seemed to
settle in every joint so that | could
hardly move. while my arms were
useless at times. was unable to
sleep or rest we'll and my heart pain.
ed me SO terribly l could hardly stand
1t. My stomach became sour and
bioated after eating and this grew
so bad that l had inflammation of
the stomach. l was extremely nerv-
GUS and could not bear the least
noise or excitement. One whole side
CT my body became paralyzed.
'As | said before, had been suff-
ering about five years and seemed to
be able to get no relief from nv
doctors, when friend here in Port
land told me how DR.. Williams Pink
Pills had cured MIN of neuralgia in
the face, even after the pain had
drawn it to one side. | decided to
try the pills and began to see some
improvement soon after using them.
This encouraged me 10 keep on until
l was entirely cured I have never
had return of the rheumatism or CT
the paralysis.

gfsts or sent postpaid. on receipt of
price, 80 cents per box. six boxes

Plans of House.

assure dry interior. In selecting the
place it on the high ground, where
there is an under and surface drain
age. If this cannot be, dig out the
ground, fill in with broken stone, and
make cement floor, at least a foot
larger all around than will be the
building thereupon. This cement floor
will serve the double purpose of assur-
ing a dry interior and shutting out
vermin. Always cover the cement
floor during the winter months with
six or eight inches of dry earth, and
throw thereupon plenty of dry litter,
either straw, leaves, or light material
that will do for scratching purposes.
Where it is thought practicable to
make use of what is known as the
fresh-air or muslin curtain front to
the windows, it is only necessary to
remove part or all of the sash, and
substitute frames covered with un-
bleached muslin. The use of the mus
lin curtain is thought to make the in
terror more healthful for the poultry.
through the curtain has a tendency
to dry the atmosphere within the
poultry house. While such buildings,
says Country Gentleman, are consid-
erably colder than tight glass fronts,
the interior is apt to be perfectly dry,
and the hooded roost may be made
use of in cold localities to keep the
fowls warm during the frost of winter
weather.
AS to a correct ration of feed for
the production of eggs during the
winter months, try dry grain ration,
one-third wheat, the rest made up of a
mixture of all kinds of small grain
If mash food is fed always feed it at
noon. 1t is best when composed Of
equal parts, by measure, of cornmeal
ground oats, bran and mddlings, all
mixed with either scalding-hot milk
or water, and allowed to set to cool
Some animal food of some kind
beef scrap or ground green bone
should always be furnished them in
winter. In addition to this, plenty of
green food of some kind, water and
grit should always be at hand If fed
this ration, and to this rule, and prop.
erly housed, hens should always fur.
nish full egg supply in winter.

American IdeaIisn.

Since my first arrival in America I
have held that the real spirit is ideal
istic and that the average individual
American is controlled by idealistic
impulses. Those who may contradict
me can not have sounded the depths
of the philosophy of Ralph Waldo
Emerson, or studied the life and read
the speeches of Abraham Lincoln, and
considered their far-reaching effect on
the American people. In Lincoln's
great character nothing can be more
striking than the way in which he
combined reality and the loftiest ideal,
with a thoroughly practical capacity
to achieve that ideal by practical
methods. This faculty seemed to give
him far-sighted, almost superhuman
vision, which enabled him to pierce
the clouds obscuring the sight of the
keenest statesmen and thinkers of his
age-Baron Speck Won Sternburg, in
Forum.
