On Tuesday morning Supt. J. J. Corkery and A. A. Beckwith of the water board went to Meadow brook basin for the test of the artesian wells, work on which had been stopped Monday night Other members of the board were not in attendance because of the weather.
 The first well, which is down 470 feet was tried out first at ten o'clock and it showed that there was being pumped about forty gallons minute. This was kept running from that time. In the afternoon the second well was tested about three o'clock and this proved a disappointment. It had been thought that this well was yielding more water than the first, but the test proved different, as only about ten gallons a minute was secured. The wells are being pumped continuously, day and night, however, and will be for a time so as to get all the benefit possible from them, though they will deliver but about 72,000 gallons in 24 hours. The engines of the driving ap- paratus are being used for operating the pumps. The water will flow from the Meadow brook basin to Fairview and the melting of the snow will add to the volume. It is believed that great benefit will be obtained from the storm of the past 24 hours.
 Fairview reservoir dropped two inches on Tuesday and the waterine carts were busy getting the water to families on the hilltops during the

Octave Chanute.

When the Wright Bhothers were experimenting with aerial flight and were included among the town jokes of Dayton, they were in correspon- dence with Octave Chanute. He en- couraged them, buoyed them up. gave them the benefit of his observations and his accurate engineering experi- ence. In their writings they have made acknowledsment of Unis da [, simply as is their way, but with sin cerity and feeling.
 Chanute was more fortunate than some Of the early experimenters in that he lived to see aerial flight act ually accomplished and along the line which Lilienthal and himself had de- tned In the midst of the great pub lie interest in flying, developed since he himself had ceased to make mod els, he never intruded or claimed the honors which were justly due him. He appeared to have been satisfied with pleasure over the acCoT~li 1D7n7t of the long quest and to have borne no envy and entertained no jealusy. Some day there will be an great amount of monumental bui16ine to the aerOplane inventors. It will be per- formed unfairly unless a stone is raised to the memory of Chanute. with a record of his achievements and d generous word as to his unselfshness Toledo Blade.

MAKING CHEESE.
Successful Industry Carried on at
 Bethlehem.

Bethlehem's cheese factory. which commenced operations two years ago, and whose products were to revolu- tionize the cheese industry of this country by placing on the market a cheese so closely resembling the fa- nous imported Roquefort that the diff ference could not readily be detected, has been for some time at a standstill and it's fate is yet to be determined.
 Raymond Thompson, the young man who discovered a process by which Roquefort cheese could be du- plicated is a, native of Bethlehem, where he was reared on his fathers farm, situated southwest of the center of the village. MT. Thompson's ex- periments extended over period of five years, during two years of which time he conducted Investigations at Storrs agricultural school. Success is said to have crowned his researches and experiments, and that he actually duplicated in taste, color and general ingredients the French product seems to be a fact.-Waterbury American.

In the criminal side of the United States ditsrict court at Hartford on Tuesday true bills were brought in against F. E. Barker, former cashier of the New London City National bank, charging him with having falsi- fled his books to cover up an over drawn account; against Vincenzo Bono of Waterbury, charging his with hay ing engaged in the while slave traf- fic, and against Otto Vogt, a barber, of Hartford, charging him with send ing blackmailing letters through the mails.

The man, a contractor, to whom the money was loaned, stated after Barker's arrest that he supposed the transaction was straight.

 Among the witnesses against Bono was q young woman he brought on from Boston to Waterbury, and who was with him at the time of his ar- rest.

SUBSTANTIAL REQUEST Left to St. PauI's Church of NorwaIk.

Through the death of Mrs. Maria P. James, says the Norwalk Hour, St. Paups parish will be one of the veal thiest parishes in this section, for when the estate of Mrs. James is set- tied and the proceeds go to the church the net amount will be nearly s65, 900, The estate in itself is worth about $90,000. Originally the property was bequeathed to the church with the re- striction that 1t be used for church purposes, but in later years this re- striction was all removed by & codicil in the will and the church now has perfect right to dispose of any or all of it. The property includes the Nor walk Historical and Memorial library, the lot at the corner of Berkeley street and West avenue, and the property on the north side of Berkeley street be- low the chapel, extending down as far as Union park.

In a few years the Bridgeport Fly draulic company will be able to sup ply Bridgeport with apples of the very finest quality and in large amounts, says The Bridgeport Telegram. The company is still keeping up its plant ing of coniferous trees, maintaining q nursery where 1t raises the trees from seeds and then transplants them on their watershed.
 But the company has made de- parture in this work the past summer and has set out more than 300 healthy young apple trees, using tillable land near it's reservoirs for this purpose. These trees are to be carefully watched by the men in charge of the reservoirs, sprayed and brought to the best state of perfection imaginable. Acting on the theory that sound trees will pro- duce sound fruit all that is possible to produce such fruit is going to be done At present this work is in only the experimental stage with the company but already plans are being perfected for carrying 1t out on much larger scale.

HENEY OPENS
HERMAN CASE

Portland, Ore, Jan. 13.--Francis J.
Heney, in opening the prosecution Of
Binger Hermann yesterday, spoke in
part as follows:
Gentlemen of the jury: We expect
to prove that in 1901 1t was known in
Oregon that timber spectators were
taking advantage OF the creation or
forest reserves by securing advance
information as to what land would be
included in the reserves, and by pro-
curing a large number Of persons to
make applications for the school
lands lying within the reserve and
conveying The Aforesaid school lands
10 the spectators for small sums
In September, 1901, Binger Her
mann entered into conspiracy with
Franklin Mays. w. ". Jones and
others, and In March, 1902, officially
directed Ormsby, superintendent of
forest reserves in Oregon, to report
upon the matter and send him the
petitions secured by Mays and Jones.
Ormsby recommended the creation OF
a reserve to include 1880 acres of
school lands which had been secured
by MAYS and Jones by employing
men at from 50 cents to Sc apiece to
sign applications for state school
lands In blank. He had calculated on
making a net profit of about $500, 600.
Hermann aided and abetted in
every way possible Mays and Jones
have already been convicted Her
mann would have been tried at the
same time but he had previously ex.
acted promise that he would not be
tried IN Oregon until he was first
tried in Washington under another

COTTON SLUMP
PROVES PUlZLER
MARKET SHOWS EXCITEMENT
NOT KNOWN SINCE the
SuLLv BOOM.

New York, Jan. !3.-There was a
further big break In the cotton mar
ket Yesterday, making the third SEN
sational slump in prices since the
movement started early last week.
Panic stricken longs in all parts OF
the world seemed to be liqnidating cot
ton regardless of prices and the ae-
ton of the market showed such in
tense excitement and Generalization
as finds a parallel only in the series
of sensational movements following
the collapse of the Sally boom.
For more than a year cotton has
been steadily advancing. and toward
the end of lass month prices had
reached level which. since the civil
war, have only been eQualled when
Sully was at the height of his fame.
March contracts were selling at 16.17
and May at 1916. But at the oulmina-
ton point to Mays decline March CON
tracts sold at 14.60 and May at 14.7s,
loss from the high record of from
s7.S5 to $40 per bale, almost all of
which occurred during the last week
Declines from the closing prices of
last night amounted to more than
$3.50 bale.
There does not appear to have been
any change in general trade oondi-
lions to warrant the almost unpreoe-
denied slump. and in contrast to the
Sully boom no financial difficulties
have been precipitated.
