the sheriff, whose duty 1t is to sum- mon the jury, to attend a moving pie, ture show depicting prize fight in
 which the deceased participated and met defeat? See State vs. Dipley, 147 Southwes tern Reporter, III. This ap- peal is from a. conviction of the nnur-
 derer of Stanley Ketchel, the noted Dickerson, a friend of Ketchel, was interested in the prosecution of the de- defendants. charged with KetchePs
 murder. A few days before the trial
 he wrote to the sheriff, and invited him and his friends to come and at
 tend a moving picture show of the
 Johnson-Ketchel prize fight. The s'ierim and his friends in response to the invitation attended the show, but they paid their own expenses. Dicker- son made no attempt to influence the sheriff in his official conduct. Be- cause of this the defendants filed a
 motion to disqualify the sheriff on the ground that he was prejudiced against them. The Supreme Court Of Mis- souri holds: While if. must be said that it was Q most indiscreet act in the sheriff to accept such an invita- ton under the circumstances disclos- ed yet we cannot overlook the fact that the incumbent of that office may be and frequently is a man who has not the highest sense Of propriety in such matters, and 1t does not follow that because of such conduct, public and unconcealed as it was, there was official wrongdofng, or that an infer ence should be drawn that the sheriff was prejudiced against the defendants and unfit toedischarge the duties of his office in their case.'' The conviction of s<the woman in the case' is reversed and that of the man affirmed.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

It is best to heat the plates before putting hot pies them when first taken out of the oven. If hot pies are put on cold plates they sweat, mak- ing the under crust soggy.
 If you want to bake potatoes quick ly clean them and pour boiling water over them. Let stand on the. stove for five or ten minutes, then put them in the oven to bake.
 Silver will remain bright much longer if after the articles have been cleaned they are rubbed with soft flannel cloth dipped in 1inseed oil ther.
 whn making angel cake add one teaspoonfu1 of conrstarch to the sug- ar and sift five times. The cake will be tender and velvety. To keep it moist and tender turn a crock over it.
 A good way to clean stains from the hands is to take half a cupful of coarse cornmeal and one cupful of strong vinegar. Wash and rub the hands well in this, then rinse in warm water.
 One teaspoonful of peroxide of hy- drogen added to half a tub of water in which clothes are rinsed will act as a bleach. It gives pure white color without any damage to the fla bric.
 Coarse coffee grounds added to soapsuds will clean water bottles and flower vases. Let the suds and the grounds remain in the bottle for an hour Or two, then shake thoroughly and rinse.
 Lacquered brass beds can be kept in good condition if after dusting them they are rubbed with a flannel cloth dipped in melted parafdne. Pol ish with a chamois leather and they will look like new.
 No matter how much dripping is used, fish when being fried is apt to stick to the pans bottom If a table spoonful of dry salt is put into the pan and rubbed over it it will be found satisfactory.
 The white satin collars that are so fashionab ble now can be cleaned by rinsing them out in ether. Put a lit tie ether in a small bowl and squeeze half the collar at time- It will come out perfectly white.
 When olive dressing will not thick en after the necessary amount of oil has been used beat in a small Quan- tity of cornstarch. This prevents the curdling, and the dressing will not taste of cornstarch.
 Instead of melting butter when you want to mix it with sugar, place the butter in a double boiler and allow it to get warm. It will then beat up very easily with the sugar, and will not cause the cake to be heavy.
 The tip of the wings and the neck of a fowl boiled with a stalk of eel cry or an onion, with little rice, 8 pinch or two of parsley and a tea spoonful of cream added after they are cooked, make a cupful of delicious

SOup
 The most successful way to soften a hardened paint brush is to dip 1t in vinegar. Heat the vinegar to the boiling point, allow the brushes to stand in 1t for a few minutes, then re- move and wash thoroughly with soap and water.
 When lace curtains are badly torn the worst torn of them should be used to mend the others by cutting lace from the torn curtain to match the pattern of the curtain to. be smended.
 It is a matter of economy to have all the curtains in the house match. Then from time to time when some of them have worn those that are left can be matched together for bed rooms, putting the new ones in the living room and dining room.
 Chiffon scarfs can be successfully washed by making a. suds of pure white soap and pressing the chiffon gently with the hands until it is clean. Then rinse in warm water. Squeeze out the water and shake nearly dry. Press with a moderately hot iron.
 If you are going to be away from home for a few days use this method to water your house plants: Place q pail of water among your plants at a higher elevation. Have strips of mus lin long enough to reach from the bot tom of the pail to each plant. Tie one end of each strip to a weight and sink in the water of the pail Ar range the other ends among the plants, giving those requiring the most water the wider strip.

On Tuesday evening. June IT, the class of 1913, Greene street grammar school, New Haven, held their gradua- ton exercises in the assembly hall of the school building. which was prettily decorated for the occasion. A well rendered programme was given, the class of 90 graduates being seated on the stage. To the honor pupils of this class were given the recitations, ora tions and musical numbers of the evening.

Much praise was given to Miss filling for this most interesting selection and also for the pleasing manner in which it was read.

times, and there were also clements about the situation that worked against the proposition that had been offered.
 The committee spent the morning in canvassing the situation among local business men and securing advice on the working out of the plan. and in the afternoon had a conference at 8 o'clock with President Lawton. Legal advice on the matter was also obtain ed during the day and one attorney drew up form of subscription paper for President Macpherson, although expressing little confidence in the out come of the effort to retain the charter of the bank by the plan proposed. One of the uncertainties pointed out about the matter was whether the court would agree to such a plan even if the amount of money necessary could be raised. 1t was also learned that in order for the new combination of cap- ital which it was proposed to bring in to oDtain right to the trust company charter the unanimous consent of all the depositors and all the stockhold- CTS must be secured. As the trust company has 5000 depositors, the committee learned, this was looked upon as having an important bearing upon the general plan.
 In view of all the circumstances the committee reluctantly came to the conclusion that it was not a plan that they could recommend further action on with hope of success.

When their work was through on Monday they had been forced to the conclusion that it was an impossible proposition for Nor wich just at the present time, when financial conditions. were abnormal Under present conditions they decided that it would be practically impossible to raise $50.000 here now, although that might be accomplished in ordinary

 from Uncasville.


 Norwich citizens who contributed to the new automobile ambulance now in use by the Backus hospital will be in- terested to know how well it is thought of by those to whose service it is called, as was indicated recently in the case of woman brought from Uneasville. Because of her illness she had not been sleeping well, but she told the hospital authorities upon her arrival there after the long ride from Uncasyille that the ride had given her the first real repose she had had in a long time. On the comfortable stretch CT in the ambulance she had been lull- ed to sleep by the gentle motion and had slept all the way.
 The ambulance was out twice on Monday, once to bring child named Benjamin Stein from 266 West Main street, where he had been badly burned about the back while playing with matches and also to bring to the hos pital a child named Tony Barrows from the 4.43 train. The Barrows child came from Allyn's Point and had typhoid fever.
