LETTERS TO THE EDITOR FINAL MEETING OF CAR BARN
 COMMITTEE.
Editor of the Farmer:

Editor of the Farmer:
 Sir-The item in the Evening Far mer concerning the final meeting of the Council committee gives two all formative plans which are to be sub- m1tted to the Board of Aldermen. As both plans will permit the trolley com pany to use the proposed tracks for emergency work on disabled cars, and for storage of freight and passenger cars, which will obstruct and delay cars that are crowded with passengers neither plan is looked upon with fa- vor.
 The tracks near the railroad depot should be used for RAPID TRANSIT, and not for repairs or emergency work Of any kind, at this or any other con- gested point, so as to make the delay more protracted and the schedule for running cars less reliable.
 The people have no use for disabled cars or for car barns, the location and entrance to which is, a menace to life and property, and which will seriously obstruct and hinder travel by frequent blockades near the depot.

 Breath

''Some five years ago I was taken with a bad attack of bronchitis. I was affected with a bronchial cough and cold, the cough was generally much more apparent at night and I would wake up choking and gaSping for breath, and there seemed to be a terrible Stoppage in my throat and tubes My throat was tender and ir- ritable, and had an aching sensation, which was especially bad at times. doctored and used several remedies, but received no permanent relief un- til I used Hyomei. This remedy is certainly infallib1e, and it saved my life, and I accord it the credit which it deserves. There is nothing too strong for me to say regarding Fly omei''-Mrs. Ada Hopkins, 8 Cutter Ave, Coldwater, Mich, August 22, 1908.
 All leading druggists sell Hyomei (pronounced High-o-me) and they guarantee it to cure bronchitis, ca tarrh, asthma, croup, hay fever, coughs and colds, or money back

THE WOOD PAVEMENT.
New Haven Leader.)

F-NEW
 New Haven has not been buncoed on it's wood pavement job and the wood pavement laid on central streets is very satisfactory to a majority of the people. On one or two occasions the pavement has been slippery, but not as much as the sheet aspha paveme ent. Where the blocks were Ia too closely together wet weather caus- ed them to swell and hump but that was in the fault of the laying and not in the blocks. Why certain neWspa- pers haves made such a howl aga1nst the wooden pavement we do not know The howl began before the pavement had been down a week and it has been cintinued at frequent intervals since. The people are well satisfied with the wood pavement and hope that more Of it will be laid here-

HARTFORD PREFERS SHEET
 ASPHALT AND MACADAl
Hartford Tines.)

Bridgeport thinks of laying some wood pavement and, is indignant tha1~ a. New Haven paper should warn it against the experiment. Apparently. the present choice at Bridgeport is hetv-een wood blocks and bricks. At the risk of also coming under the ban for interference we venture to remark that Hartford has had both brick aud~ wood block pavement. and was glad to get rid of both. Probably bette4. wood blocks and better bricks can be- had now than were used in the ex-r perirnent here. but both are subject to one disadvantage in the fact that they wear uneouallys and more rapidly thaff stone blocks. All block Isavements ara somewhat subject to this difficulty. fn-s cluding asphalt blocks. of which WE have some here. but the granite is far. more durable than the others. al though more noisy.

BROADBRlDGE AMUSES EXCISE
 COMMITTEE
Could Tell by Looking at Faces of Men Whether They Drink or Not.

Hartford, March n.-Considerable fun developed at hearings before the Excise committee yesterday afternoon upon the bill introduced by Represen- providing that all saloons shall be closed from 10 o'clock in the evening until 5-o'clock in the morning, and up- on a similar measure introduced by Representative Fred $. Chamberlain Of New Britain.
 Robert Broadbridge of Bridgeport, speaking in favor of the bills, said that he could tell the drinking people he met on the street.
 why" asked a member of the con- mittee. Do they have horns?"
 No" he replied, "but they all love their horns" Continuing he said that he could tell the men on the floor by their countenances whether they fa- vored the bill or not. ''I don't include the committee in that statement, how ever,'' he said.
 Representa- tive Walter S. Hastings clerk of the committee, interrupted with the remark, "1 am glad you ex- plained that point.''
 .'I am sorry if the committee wor- ried any, replied MT. Broadb-1dge MT Broadbrid:se also said that it was only disreputable people or people, lia- ble to be disreputable who went into saloons after 10 o'clock. or who were seen on the streets late at night When asked whether he wanted to go on rec ord as Saylng tnaI only OlSfe1putdDie people freQuented saloons late at night he reiterated his statement.
 F. B. Quinn of New Haven in oppo- sition advised the people in favor to look at home and see whether they had taken advantage of the law, which allows them to close saloons at II o'clock. Until they have done so they have no right to come here and ask for an extra hour. It is a matter of ac- cor1modation, the saloon keeping open. Many respectable members of society, wher on their way home from the theatre or club stop in for a drink. They are perfectly well able to take of themselves

RABBITS. TRAPS AND FERRETs

Hartford March 1.-The fish and game committee had another large crowd before it yesterday. when hear ings were given rabbit hunting measures. the use of ferrets, the set ting of traps for foxes and the use of scented bait. By the showing before the committee the sentiment was largely in favor of allowing the use of ferretS for rabbit hunting and length ening the season but not have rabbit hunters use guns. As for trapping foxes the sentiment of the farmers was for it and for use of scented bait
 while the objections were from hunt CTS because dogs get into the snares. There was no appearance on bills giv- ing local authorities power to govern the hunting of gray squirrels.

fRft SHARP; IT'D on COOPIRS


Nashville, Tenn, March IL When
the jury yesterday returned verdict
Of acqujttal for John D. Sharp. charg-
ed with the murder OF former United
States Senator E. w. Carmack and
decla:e ed It was "hopelessly tied up as
to the Coopers." 1t was generally con-
ceded that the end ~ the famous
case had been reached. Nothing
daunted BY the expressive nrmness Of
Foreman Burke's declaration Of dis
agreement. Judge Hart sent the
twelve men out for further delivera-
ton and announced that he would rot
discharge them until he was absolute
" convinced that an agreement coa'd
not be reached. The Jurors looked
tired. worn and Ill at ease. From
the loud talking heard in the room,
they have been having q strenuous
time. They are chatting under the re-
straint, too, but evidently are coIsc!-
entiors In their determination TO vote
with their convictions. In response
to the judges question as to whittier
. verdict had been reached, Burke re-
piled: We are tied up tight as TO
the Coopers. but we ind John D.
Sharp not guilty."
Judge Hart quickly dismissed Sharp
and ordered the jury to continue its
deliberations as to the guilt or inno-
cense OF the Coopers.
