Pulasky's store. but the owner was out of it but two minutes at a time He denied taking money from the big pocketbooIz and said he had talked in- surance with Pulasky and had wit messed a paper for Pulasky when ne was trying to turn his business over to his brother. He said he sold an insurance policy to Patrick Shea, bor- rowing $25.54 from w. F. Hill to send the company, as he supposed MT. shea was to pay by the year, but he decided to pay by the month. He borrowed SID of MT. Hill later. He did not need 1t then, but wanted to test MT. Hills confidence in him. He claimed his testimony in the city court was gwen as 1t was because he didn't want MT Hill to know of the matter.
 After seeing the Lane farm Rock wood said he went to Putnam and then to Worcester where he visited ms mother. He said he had about $9O then and paid a few bills for his mother He stated number of ways in which he received the money. He denied emphatically taking the money.
 $. H. Thresher told of drawing a paper for Pulasky, after which both sides rested. The arguments were made by Attorneys Hall, Douglass and Hull and were completed at 445 o'clock. Judge Wheeler occupied but a few minutes in charging the jury and they retired at 4.52 and were out less than twenty minutes. They brought hn a verdict of guilty.
 Considerable time was taken in learning about Redwood. Attorney Douglass spoke in his behalf, stating that his health was not good and that he thought the sentence should be light. State Attorney Hull showed that he had been in trouble before, having been sentenced in Worcester, and some time ago he took money from an employe of the Occum mill while coming down on an elevator Superintendent Perkins searched him T hi clothes. Judge Wheeler inquired about his health and Redwood said it was not good and that he could not do hard work. The judge gave him some good advice and said that he could send him to prison for five years. He thought, however. even if he sent him for two years it would undermine his health. and he decided to give him year in jail.
 Court was then adjourned by Deputy Sheriff Draper until Tuesday, May A, at 10 o'clock. In the meantime a date will be set for hearing the motion in the Addie Burns case.

Poles in Connecticut.

In his address at the unveiling of the statues of Pulaski and Kosciuszzo in Washington Wednesday afternoon, President Taft praised the Polish sol diers and paid a tribute to Polish inn migrants in the United States.
 Natives of Poland are playing a growing part in the affairs of America. They have become an important eIe- ment in the citizenship of Connecticut, and their numbers are steadily i'm creasing. During the year 1908 ac- cOrding to a report recently issued by the Connecticut bureau of vital statis- tics S04 children of Polish immi grants were born in the state. The bulk of the Poles of Connecticut have settled in Hartford and New Haven counties. They are doing a considerable frac- ton of the rough work of the com monwealth. They are employed in fac tories, till farms and work as day Iaborers. They constitute a consider able element of the labor employed in the mills in such industrial towns as New Britain and Southington. Within a decade the Polish census of the state has probably expanded about 400 per cent
 The Poles who have established homes in Connecticut are as a rule steady and industrious laborers. Idle ness has little fascination for them. They are a husky and rugged lot and they represent the hardy and not the arts of frugality and thrift, and many of them have accounts in the savings banks of the state. Their importance as an influence in the industrial and a agricultural life of Connecticut is like ly to grow.-Hartford Times.

EDWARD C. ELY
 ON A BALLOON TRIP.
Thought They Might Go to Canada, But Came South Instead, Landing at Sharon, Ct.

Contrary winds and a heavy passen- ger list combined to land Roswell C. Tripp of New York, the old Yale foot ball guard and the balloon party of which he was host, in Sharon, Conn.,, fl miles from Pittsfield, Mass, early Sunday, instead of in Canada, to which point the aeronauts had expressed their intentions of sailing.
 The balloon Springfield was sent up from Pittsfield at 4.30 o'clock Sunday morning, and a successful descent was made at sharon at 9.30 o'clock
 In the party were Edward C. Ely of this city, brother of Alderman Ely, and Fairrnan Dick of New York, as told in a Saturday despatch from Pittsfield, which said that they had intended starting from Springfield, but being unable to secure long distance balloon gas there they changed to Pittsfeld, and 60,0OO cubic feet of gas were or dered there.
 Pilot William Van Sleet of Pittsield, who went up with the party had prom ised to take them on a double century trip, and as there was a strong south wind Saturday night the party thought they might go to Canada and try for the trophies offered to the balloon which frsts lands on Canadian soil.
 In order to make the double century flight a dozen bags of sand weighing 500 pounds were needed. This meant that the balloon would lift nearly d ton, including the passengers weight of 750 pounds.

A PhonooranT Ciock.

A German trade journal says, under the headline, The Monograph Clock .'' that Switzerland has gained. a point over America in the clock industry by placing on the market a timepiece which bears that name It is valuable as a novelty and "a source of comfort to the blind and the lazy" The clock may be placed in any room in connec- tion with a photograph and a person in any adjoining room, having no clock and where connection has been made with the timepiece by electric wires need merely to press a button to hear the time called aloud by the instru- ment.
