giving, by the aid of al electric ma
chine. the same quality of tone to a
violin that age has been credited with
providing. The theory of the violinist,
says Popular Mechanics. is that it is
not the age Of the violin which really
gives It Its superior tone, but the
amount Of bowling or vibration it has
received. BY the use of the electrical
machine the violin is expected to get
as much bowling in 80 days as the
same instrument would receive in Sc

YOU KNOW
WHAT WHITE LEAD IS?
Its Chief Use and . Method Of Deter.
mining Good from Bad Explained.

White Lead is the standard paint
material all over the world. 1t is made
by corroding metallic lead into a white
powder, through exposing it to the
fumes OF weak acetic acid and car
bonic acid gas; this powder is then
ground and mixed with linseed oil,
making a thick paste, in which form
it is packed and sold for painting pur-
poses. The painter thins it down to
the proper consistency for application
by the addition of more linseed oil.
The above refers. of course, to pure,
genuine White Lead only. Adulterated
and fake White Lead" of which there
are many brands on the market, is
generally some sort of composition
containing only a percentage Of white
lead-sometimes no White Lead at all
in such stun, barytes or ground rock,
chalk, and similar cheap substances
are used to make bulk and initiate the
appearance of pure White Lead.
There is. however. a positive test by
which the purity or impurity of White
Lead may be. proved or exposed, before
painting with it.
The blow-pipe flame will reduce pure
white lead to metallic lead. If a sup
pOSeQ Wulte ledu De Illus lcSleu, duu IL
only partially reduces to lead, leaving
a residue, it is proof that something
| else was there besides white lead.
The National Lead Company guaran-
| tee all White Lead sold in packages
bearing its Dutch Boy Painter
trademark to prove absolutely pure
under this blow-pipe test, and that yor
may make the test yourself in your OWL
home, they will send free upon re-
quest a blow-pipe and everything else
! necessary to make the test, together
with a valuable booklet on paint. Ad-

 The new company will be called Engine company No 4, and it is ex- pected to be fully equipped for ser vice this week. Men were sent to Bridgeport to-day who brought up the new auto hose supply wagon. This was installed in the Leavenworth street engine house, the equipment there being sent on to the Washing ton avenue house and that outfit there will be installed in the new house. The company will consist of half a dozen men for the present, there are accommodations for seven horses, a dozen men, with plenty of room for a dozen more if necessary in the course of time Everything Of course is of the latest design, every care being taken for the comfort of the men and the entire outfit. Thers are three slide bars communicating with every. part of the house where the men are liable to congregate. In short, 1t is one of the finest engine houses in the state.

TIE PLUME SUIT
Ju6se sll Jury 1esrIaS Evl. dslee h ihe Superior Court.

The superior court and the jury resumed business to-day, taking up the case Of the Colonial Trust Co, ex- scutor on the estate of the late David s. Plume against MT Fumes son, Frank c. Plume. The suit is to re- cover $5,000. In February, 1886, Frank c. Plume gave his note to j.. S. Eastwood of Thomaston for 34,- 479 at five per cent interest. Neither the interest nor principal was ever paid by the defendant, and his father had to pay 1t. The plaintiff Is suing for the benefit of the state. The de- fense is that at the time the note was given 1t was understood between Mir Plume and his father that the latter should take care of 1t, and that as he said nothing in his will about collecting It the understand ing between father and son was thereby carried out. This alleged understanding, 1t is said, is support ed by the fact that in his will MT Plume left his son an income of $1,- 200 year from his estate.
 The case was non-sulted on mo- ton by counsel for Plume. The court held that as Eastwood, the holder of the note, made no demand for its payment until about twenty years after it was issued, his clam vas invalidated. Eastwood, how ever, has been paid his money by the Colonial Trust Co, which concern Is out that amount. unless the heirs re- cover from Plume. which is a very unlikely occurrence, as the whole matter now is strictly family affair.
 The case on trial this afternoon is that of James Pryor against Dernis Murnane and Patrick Thompson for 35,o0O damages for the death of his son Thomas, aged years. The boy while playing in yard abutting on the river in the Brooklyn district fell in and was drowned because of lack of proper protection on the yard wall.

THE CITY COURT.
Man Accused of Chicken Stealing
 Fined $5 and Costs.

John Altman of Bridge street was in the city court to-day on the charge of attempting to break into the chicken coop of William Byrnes on East Main street near Rutledge street MT Byrnes testified how he lost one of his chickens Saturday night and how he then secured a lock and placed it on the door. He hid in the cellar to await develop ments and about an hour later fell low came around and tried to pick the lock. Running out from his hid ing place he grabbed the intruder who proved to be Altman. Altman was then handed over to Patrolman Hickey. Altman denied the accusa- tion and said he was going through the alleyway which runs to the sa- loon. He was fined $5 and costs, probation by Judge Burpee who was on the bench. agya
 Antonio Korutis who boards on Porter street was accused of stealing a letter from Frank Miller one of his fellow boarders. A letter was brought to Miller's house on Monday and little girl in the place gave it to Korutis who was to take it to Miller. But Miller never saw the letter nor the five dollars which he said was in 1t. He was fined s and costs.
 The case against William Cog gins. Eugene Reilly and Arthur Green. charged with burglary, was continued until tomorrow. These young men are held on suspicion of having entered two or three stores in town as considerable property, presumably stolen, has been found in ther possession.

AFTER ELECTION
Judge Lsws Leaves Clean Slate
 On Rellrlps Frsn Office.

Judge Robert A. Lowe of the pro bate court came down to his ofice to-day, smiling and received the con gratulations of his friends on tho run he made in the election Tuesday He said he had no kick coming al all and that he Is thankful to every one who cast a vote for him. He has been, he said, sixteen years con. secutively in the office of judge oi probate and he believed he had done his duty as judge as well as any one could do 1t. He said he leaves a record that he is not ashamed oi and he will leave clean books after him.
 Post-election talk has taken very serious turn for the liquor traffic or account of the prominent part taken by the saloon keepers and bartenderi in the election. True or not true It was common talk a few days be. fore the election that MT Lilley and MT Hayes, had secured the liquor dealers and the bartenders. In one of the largest cafes last evening, the proprietor and one of his bartenders became very angry at some of their customers, claiming that the custom. CTS went back on the democratic ticket. The customers stood the at tack for while and then opened up on the men behind the bar and squarely put the accusation up to them that they had been secured by underhand means by the republican party for favors rendered. This re. taliation took the men behind the bar by the greatest surprise. but they were surprised still more when informed that there are few thous- and voters in this city who never en. tered saloon. and that there are a few thousand more who would as leave vote the saloons out of exis- tence for few years, if for no other reason than to purify the trade.
 Dr E. w. Goodenough announced to-day that he is out of politics and that some one else must take his place as president of the good gov ernment association. He stated that 1t was understood between him and his friend Judge of Probate-elect Byrne that after the election the doctor should retire. The doctor has long been very active force in the republican ranks of the third ward, and, although he has announced that he Is "out of the game now" his friends say that his statement holds good until another election, or he becomes interested in some candi- date, and that once he gets the scent of the powder will jump into the contest.
 Michael Pentino who runs a fruit store on North Square is one of the happiest men in the city. A few days before election he was trying to bet his equity of $5.000 in house on Bank street, even money, that Robertson would win. He is glad now that he got no takers.
