FALSE IMPRISONMENT BY

The House of the Good Shepherd located at Detroit, Mich, is one of 300 institutions of like character for moral reformation of girls and women, and for the protection of such as may be exposed to particular dangers from injuries affecting character and virtue. Some of the inmates come to it volun- request of parents or guardians, and some are sent to it instead Of the State Industrial school, on conviction of crime. In the case of Gallon V.

 PHILO L. FOX
Cancelled Contract With the Standard Mfg. Co. Which
 Gets S446.05

The Standard Mfg. Co. obtained Judgment of $446.o5 against Pnilo I. Fox, yesterday. of jury sitting in the civil side of the Common Pleas court. The defendant contracted for a quantity of carpenters squares, known as the Fox square, but can ceIled it. He sc1aimed the plaintiffs did not make the goods fast enough: It appeared however that Fox had sold the right to use the Fox square to another concern, and that the title had been registered. Also that he had been told his new square must not be called the Fox square.

HOW BIG IS HARTFORD?
 IS BRIDGEPORT BIGGER? ]?

Many persons who are interested in the outcome of the census to be talk en during the month of April are asking how much larger was Hart ford than Bridgeport ten years ago, when the last census. was taken. The official figures show the population of Hartford at that time to have been 79,850 and of Bridgeport 70,966.
 Hartford people have been esti- mating the size of their town at 115, ,0O0. Bridgeporters have never claimed more than 11O,00O. It would not be surprising if Bridgeport has been underrated and Hartford over rated for it's size.

From canvass of Republican edi- e04s in the East, made by the Chicago Tribune, it appears that the opposi- tioin to thesAldrich tariff is stronger lnl the East than in the West, and Ht-ongest of all in New England. This seanvass revealed the fact that in Con Ineeticut, only four Republican edi- crs favored the tariff, while 31 op- osed it. Is New England reverting
 its position of many years agone

 manufacturers finally awakened to
 fact that unless their raw ma
 -szzs~4re freed from tariff burdens, and they allowed to buy in the most Advantageous market. the West and the South will soon take the lead in ma nufacturing industries?

It now appears that the Beef Trust, ~or some of it's members, are heavily Interested in several South American packing concerns and control at least one in Argentina, from which large quantities are exported to Eng land
 England draws her meat supplies from New Zealand, Australia, Argen- tiIaa Russia Canada and the United States. and despite such competition the latter sells beef there at prices which permit it's .retaiHng at rates from 20 to 30 per cent lower than Those exaeted from American con suners.
 Despite 9 Somewhat decreased pro nsletion. this. country can still supply more than it's home demand, and if, the Beef Trust would sell as cheaply here as 1t does in England, prices to home consumers would decrease laTgely. But that is inadmissibIe, be- cause it would lessen the Beef Trusts profits.

 Judgment for Defendants.
 Judge Platt filed an opinion in the United States circuit court Monday in the suit of Lester c. Smith of Thompson of Waterbury@and the Coe Brass Manufacturing company of Tor rington. Smith claimed to have val uab1e property rights in invention relating to an improvement in wire drawing machines. The action came before Judge P1att on a demurrer to the bill. Judge Platt sustains the de- rnurrer and dismisses the bill and di- rects that costs be taxed in favor of the defendants. Judge PJatt in con cluding his mem oEandum of opinion says as to Smith: ''He cannot trade for his cake, and when he finds it is made of ashes calmly ignore the trade.''

 Prefers Reform School.
 John Bednartsek, 15 years old, the Torrington boy who year and half ago escaped from the State school for Boys, after weeks confinement, re- turned to that institution Of his own accord Monday. According to the boys story he made his way to New York where he found relatives who were about to sail TOT the Old country and volunteered to bake him with them. When the boy arrived in Aus he notified his parents. A few months of the simple life were enough for John and at Thanksgiving time the father and mother applied to Probation Officer Wilcox to know what would happen to the boy if he came home. Superintendent Williams of State school consented to receive him if he came back voluntarily, without imposing a penalty for his desertion As soon as the boy reached Torring- ton on Tuesday night the probation officer was notified and by arrange nent with Superintendent Williams the bow was allowed to spend Easter with his parents and recuperate from a. severe attack of seasickness.
