FAIRFIELD

A good deal of satisfaction was ex- pressed in town yesterday when the result of the examination of the two men who stole Mr. John N. Jackman's s chickens, a week ago, was made pub lie. It is felt that if a severe example is made of these chicken thieves, the business will not be carried on so ex- tensively. After the examination the men were handcuffed and taken to jail. Jacob Sherer, the principal thief, told his story in the court room and plead guilty. He said he and the man, Thomas Rushmeyer, had been drink ing both beer and whiskey the night of the raid on Jackman's coops. They started out about eleven o'clock with a horse and wagon, and left the team behind the near by school house. Then, taking bags, they stuffed the chickens into them, and drove home getting there about daybreak. Sherer admit ted taking the bags of feed, although he was not so charged in the indict- ment. A young lawyer was present to defend Rushmeyer, and fought off damaging evidence on technicalities as long as they proved serviceable, but without avail, since it was proved by the testimony of Capt. Arnold and De- tective Fox that Rushmeyer had ad- mitted his guilt. The result is what wasEto be expected. Both are in jail awaiting trial in Bridgeport. It is hHOWn CndC d Ody or two aICer the robbery the man Sherer was about town trying to negotiate for a cheap horse. A well known livery man was approached who said yesterday that it looked if the thief was going into the business by wholesale with the in tent of raiding the whole country. It is now hoped the stealing of chickens will soon be a lost art in Fairfield

To the surprise of the pub lie. the lights burn all day along Ben sons road to the castle on the hill, but go out at night. A mistake is said to have been made in setting the time on the device which regulates the mat ter, and instead of turning on the elec- tricity in the evening 1t turns it off. And what is worse there is a report that the electrician has returned to New York. However, the presumption is he will soon be sent for to adjust the workings of the device.

Trouble in the Royal Palace.

The Shakespeare club of New Or leans used to give amateur theatrical performances that were distinguished for the local prominence of the actors Once a social celebrity, with gor' geous costume, as one of the lords in waiting had only four words to say 'The queen has swooned." As he stepped forward his friends applauded vociferously. Rowing his thanks. he faced the king, and said in a very high pitched voice, 'The swoon has queened."
 There was a roar of laughter, but he waited patiently and made another at tempt:
 ''The sween has cooned."
 Again the walls trembled. and the stage manager said in a voice which could be heard all over the house, "Come off, you doggoned fool!'
 But the ambitious amateur refused to surrender. and in a rasping falsetto as he was assisted from the stage he screamed, ''The coon has sweenedr- Success Magazine.

 One day De Peyster caught it.

 But after awhile he did not seem to care whether they came or not and one day when told that Micky Daly waited below said languidly: II guess l don't care about seeing him just now. Pm sorter tired. but tell him it'll be bully to have him come tomorrow" But when tomorrow came no one was admitted, for he was tossing about in a weakening struggle with some thing he did not understand that those who watched by him realized only too well.
 He heard a voice as if from very far away.
 You'd better tell him, doctor," it said. II can't stand it to see him fight for his life like little Trojan when it isn't any use"
 The voice broke and then went on:
 He's a brave little chap. brave enough to face anything, and it isn't treating him square not to let him say goodby."
 De Peyster opened his eyes. The doctor was standing over him.
 You don't have to tell me-" said De Peyster. for he dimly saw that the old doctors lips were quivering. ''I- I guess-I know" He felt for his mothers hand.
 "I'd like to hear you sing just once first, mamsie," he said.
 There's a bully song one of the fel- lers taught me, One Wide River I've liked it specially much since-since it worried you to have me go in swim ming"
 His mother sobbed out few lines, faltered and stopped.
 A look of patient disappointment came over his face.
 "Never mind. marnsie; you needn't, :" he gasped. I'm going to see it. you know. so it don't matter. Won't the cool water feel good. though! And don't you worry. mamsie. Who's afraid? Father Il find me!'
 He lay quite still moment; then he whispered.

Some of the Wonderful Things of
 Which 1t Is Capable.
 .The camera, which divides time into thousandths of second and records the impressions of each, makes perma- quickly for the dull human retina to recognize. It is only through tFe cam era that the motions of the wings of flying birds and of the legs of swift cunning animals have been analysed. To the camera the fuzzy drivers of the swiftly speeding locomotives stand out clear cut and stationary. while each flying drop of rain i'll the driven storm is distinct and seems frozen in it's place. The tarpon fisherman. ia miliar with the first wild leap of the frenzied fish as it casts hook and bait fifty feet in the air. sees first in the finished picture the outstretched gills, the convulsive opening and closing of which had escaped his eye. however closely he may have looked for it.
 Often the eye of the camera will de- cipher documents of which the writing had been substantially obliterated by age. and I have successfully copied W1IQ tQe ullCTd lue utteTly Iducu pho- tograph of d classmate of forty years previous and thereby been enabled to present to a grizzled veteran. like ness of his curly haired youth. Changes in the pigment of the skin undiscoverable by the eye appear with distinctness on the sensitive plate. and 1t is said that ample warning of ap- preaching disease has been thereby given.
 By means of the invisible rays lying beyoud the violet of the spectrum ob- jects may be photographed in the dark ness and. with the aiG of the so called x rays, through substances otherwise opaque. When from the darkness of night and storm the forked lightning flashes, the camera makes a vivid and permanent picture of each fiery trail. Creatures that travel by night can be caught in the brief blaze of mag nesium charged pistol, the flash of which is of too short duration for the creature to move or the dull human eye to recognize the subject.-A.

BREAKS LOOSE l

ALDERMAN LOOs DECLARES
 CAMPUS RULE EXCLUSION or
 COLLECTORS AIDS REPUDIATIoN:
 OF $250,00O DEBT.
 The sensation of the session of the. New Haven board of aldermen held last evening was the talk of Alderman Loos on the relations of Yale and New Haven. His talk was occasioned by, the protest which merchants are mak-4 ing over the new rule to exclude col! lectors from the college buildings. He said he believed great wrong exist ed in connection with this attitudes which Yale has assumed towards thes merchants of New Haven He said1 that for two centuries New Haven has had the burden of the college and New Haven has done a great deal for the university. He thought the. upiver-. s1ty should feel grateful to the NGry for what 1t had done for it and that there should be spirit of appreciation shown for the past benefits received by assuming a better attitude towards the merchants of the city. The new rule. he went on, deprived the mer- chants of dealing with the students in many lines of goods and further than that he said if it was insisted on and continued it meant the repudiation of the university backing the students of an indebtedness of $25o000 which he declared existed to-day. -e
 In commencing he said that in the legislature he had opposed the state tax or at least had tried to have New Haven excepted because he said it had an elephant on its hands. But the sys- tenn of representation prevented any results as men elected by 40 votes had as much to say about it as he and his colleague and the system of represent ation in Connecticut which he said he did not believe the heart of Russia would stand for prevented any infiu- ence in the matter.
