Interesting Items Boiled Down for
 Our Busy Readers

Hartford-Rosie< <Burket, a Syrian peddler who lives in this city, was before Judge John Coats in the court of common pleas yesterday prosecut- ing her suit against Bryant Morse of Plainville for damages of $500 for injuries which she received and al legged consequent physical disability in being bitten by MT Morse's dog al Plainville on December s, 1906.
 Hartford-A meeting of the prohi- bition state central committee and a conference of members of that party will be held next Monday at Il a. m at the r. NJ. c. A. building. A letter sent out by the chairman of the con- mittee, E. L. G.. Hohenthal, says that important matters of business con- corning the party's affairs are to be discussed, chief among which are the fixing of time and place for the next state convention to arrange for the election of delegates to the national convention, the engagement of field workers and to consider plans for the campaign of 1908.
 New Haven-The case of the heirs of the late Charles Edwards against the Fidelity and Casualty Insurance company of Baltimore has been settled out of court, the company paying the full amount of insurance, 5000, up- on the life of Mir Edwards. He was found dead in his bed at the Hitler home here on College street in this city the morning of January 3, 1906 with bullet hole through his head and the case led to one of the most sensational investigations in the an naIs of local tragedy. The coroner's inquiry resulted in a verdict that Ed wards had committed suicide. and partly on that ground the Fidelity and Casualty company refused to pay its policy which contained a suicide clause. It is stated that a careful in- vestigation of the case by the con- pany's agents has shown that the suicide theory could not be sustained in court and the settlement has fol- lowed.

Made 1t Clear.

When Colonel Edmund Rice was in command of the Twenty-sixth infantry (mostly volunteers from New England) in the Philippines, he organized from his regiment a company of mounted scouts. To equip them for this service he made requlsition on headquarters for the necessary outfit, including eighty nosebags. Some officious clerk in the quartermaster's office in Ma nila returned the requisition to Colo nel Rice with these written re- marks: "Your report shows but sixty men in your mounted company. Why do you require eighty nosebags"
 The colonel's explanation was short and characteristic. 1t was: Tt is truc I have but sixty men, but have eighty horses. The nosebags are for the horses. not for the men,"

LOCK AND NOVELTY co
Denver Woman Looking For h.
 formation From Mayor.

Mrs H. M. Bane of Denver Colo, has sent letter to Mayor Thoms asking him if he would give her some infor- nation about the Formulation Lock and Novelty Co of this city. The mayor knows nothing of such concern, so he turned the letter and the pamphlet that come with it over to City Clerk William H. Sandland. MT Sandland has been trying the past few days to get some trace of such company, but he has been unable to do so. Neither has he been able to locate any of the officers, who are as follows: President, Henry F. Wolfe; vice president, Els worth E. Quaintance; secretary and treasurer, Charles F. Carrithers; coun- sel, Bernard J. Ford. The city clerk is convinced that the concern is fake and has written letter to Mrs Rane accordingly. She declares she is hardworking woman, but has saved little money and was thinking of in- vesting in the Lock and Novelty Co. Before taking the plunge she thought she would get few facts about the sure thing which evidently IS only a myth, for no one in this city seems to know anything about The Permuta- ton Lock and Novelty Go. The pam phlet, which says the concern is in coroprated, contains several cuts of the different articles which the com pany makes and speaks of the high standing quality of the goods which it manufactures.

BANK STREET STATION.
Will Be Abandoned in a Short Time
 By Railroad,

Now that the railroad commission CTS have given the railroad permission to abandon it's Bank street passenger station as soon as 1t Is ready to shift it's trains to the new tracks, it is only question of a few weeks when the railroad will undoubtedly do so. The opposition which was expected to ap- pear against the proposed change did not materialize and the railroad con- missioners, Andrew F. Gates of Hart ford, and William o. Seymour o1 Ridgefield, naturally granted the rail- road what it asked. Superintendent c. s. Lake of the Naugatuck division thinks it will be about thirty days before the road will be ready to shift Its trains to the new high grade tracks which run from Washington avenue to the temporary station on West Main street. But the predictions concerning the discontinuance have been so varied and so unreliable that it is almost impossible to tell when the old shack will pass into oblivion.
 At the hearing yesterday City En- Slue6E SdlIuS WdS lu6 Uuly TeplcStuI- ative of the city present and his only request was that the railroad aban- don all its service into the Bank street station when it decides to make any change. This would give the city chance to get at the long awaited extension of Liberty street. But At torney B. L. Spock of New Haven who appeared for the railroad could not and would not assure the city that the railroad would discontinue the old rails entirely when passenger traffic starts on the new lines. He said the reason why 1t would not do so was of more interest to the com pany at present than to outsiders. It is understood that even after the Bank street station is abandoned freight trains will continue to ply along she old rails for some time at least It i' not thought that the Adams Express company will open an office in the west end until the new station is al- most completed. It will, so it is said, continue in its present place of busi- ness opposite the Bank street station

A TERRIBLE REWARD.
CromweII's Payment For the Capture
 of Pembroke Castle.

of Pembroke Castle.
 During the struggle between King Charles and the parliament Pembroke castle was so well fortified that Crom- we'll, with all his cannon, could not take it.
 After many failures he gave up his intention and began to march on for Tenby. But before he had proceeded far a country shoemaker came up to Cromwell and asked him whether he would reward him if he would tell him how to get the castle into his possess sion.
 Cromwell, very glad of this offer, consented. Then this old shoemaker, glad to get some money, as no doubt he was rather poor, told him that there was a pipe through which they got their water and that if he were to cut the pipe the castle would surrender.
 Cromwell said, q thank you for tho information you have given me, but as you have turned traitor to your coun- trymen the only reward will give you is that you shall be hanged on the very next tree that I come to-"
 Cromwell had the shoemaker hanged and cut the pipe he had told him of, leading to the castle, which then sur rendered.-London Telegraph.

Tn. Moor, of Today.

The Moors of today are the descend. ants os those who conquered Spain. who were practically paramount In the southern portion for two centuries and relics of whose wonderful build ings are to be found at the present day in that country. Indeed. it is strange to consider the position of the Moors of today when we see the work of their hands in past centuries. and the only explanation lies in the fact that they are unable to adapt themselves to mod ern conditions Magazine.

NELSON IS WHIPPED.
UnhoIz, the Boer, Had Him Going in
 Every Round.

Los Angeles, Feb 5.-Rudolph Un- holz had the better of Battling Nel- son in a ten round go before thet Pacific Athletic club here last night. Under the city ordinance no decision could be given, but there was no doubt of the result. The Boer had all the better of every round in the matter of blows exchanged. He pun ished Nelson considerably and had him bleeding freely at the nose and mouth almost from the start. He knocked Nelson down in the first round with a lightning left to the point of the jaw. Unholz seemed to be a puzzle to Nelson, the latter was constantly on the aggressive, but his efforts availed him little. He led repeatedly, but Unholz, fighting with his left shoulder held high to pro- tetc his head and chin, escaped pun ishment almost entirely.

Innculation For smalIpox.

Lady Mary wortley Montagu is gens orally credited with having introduced inoculation into England from Turkey. In ITS she had her son inoculated at Adrianople with success. She was al- lowed to have it tried in England on seven condemned criminals in 1721, and in 1T22 tive members of the royal family were inoculated. The practice was bitterly opposed by the clergy un- til 1T60. A Dr. Mead practiced inocu- lation with success up to 1754, and pr. Dunsdale of London lnoculated Cath crime II. of Russia in 176s. Vaccine in- oculation was introduced by Dr. Jen- ner in 1799.-New York American.

GLAsGoW'S fSLUMS.
It's Awful Sleeping Quarters and Ite
 "Penny Pawns."

"Penny PaWns."
 In the Mitigate Monthly there is | description of the "Alsatia of Glas- gow"-the Cowcaddens-w "all that is most unsalubrious and repellent in our modern life is to be found." Side by side with all that is demoralix- ing live and flourish harpies of various kinds and degrees. None is so dan gerous to the health of the community as she who night after night seeks to make dishonest penny by overcrowd- ing her slummy house. Sanitary in. spectors find the occupants q over- crowded houses, in their attempt to avoid detection, concealed in every conceivable corner--hidden in cup boards, under beds and even on th0 housetops. Two tiers of people have been found in one bed, one on the boards or mattress, the bed then flung over, and another living tier on the top.
 What are known as penny pawns'' abound in the district. A broker who keeps one of these can purchase an article of any value from penny up- ward. He is compelled to keep it for only seven full days, and at the end of that period he may sell it to whomsoever he chooses, and that, too, in all probability, for several hundred per cent more than he paid for It. Thousands of poor people are entirely ignorant of the difference between pawnbroking establishment and penny pawn" with the result that in many cases when they go to tSe latter they lose goods which. if plecsed with the former, they might have redeemed in time.
