WANT HYDRANT MOVED.
Residents of Vine Streets Complain
 That It's Presence Is Nuisance.

Health Officer Reeks has been in- vestigating the complaints of some residentc of Vine street against the position of a watering cart hydrant in front of the house of Judge John Coats on that street. When the permanent paving on West Main street was laid, the hydrant, which had for merly been on West Main street at the end of the little park at the Junction with Vine street, was moved temp orarily to Vine street. After the pavement had been laid the hy- drant was not moved back. The complaint is that watering carts drive up and are filled at it at all hours of the night and that they leave a pool of water in the street which breeds mosquitoes and green scum There is no connection with the sewer that the water can run into. The people on Vine street want the hy- drant moved back to it's former po- sition.

SCANDAL BEING RUN
 !, DOWN BY BRENT0N
Professor Refutlng Rumor He Was fftqlenttr Of DlSoTdcr|y Houses.

Hartford, July 1S.-The police of ficials explained yesterday the reason for the apparently mysterious visit of Professor Cranston Brenton and pr. O. c. Smith to the police station on Thursday. Professor Brenton went there for the purpose of running down and establishing the falsehood of certain rumors concerning PrOfes- sor Brenton's past conduct which were current during the trial of the damage suit brought against him by Mrs. Elizabeth Holman, his former wife. The professor succeeded in his purpose.
 This purpose had to do with a whispered report that Professor Trenton had been a frequenter of a house of i'll fame at No. 40 Commerce street, formerlay conducted by Grace Morton, which was closed during the effort at reform which swept over the city of Hartford two years and a half ago.
 Refused to Identify.
 Ut was said yesterday afternoon by Chief Farrell, that two members of the detective bureau and a patrol man who was on continual duty on the east side for a number of years postively refused to identify Profes- sor Brenton as ever having been seen to visit the house while it was un- der their observation
 NChief Farrell said it was also the purpose of Prof. Brenton and Dr.. Smith to run down a rumor in wide circulation at the present time that, at. the conclusion of the testimony of Mrs. Grace Hemingway at the recent trial in the United States district court, at which Mrs. Holman was awarded $4,000 damages from Profes- sor Brenton and Dr. Paul Waterman, Detective Sergeants Henry and San toro and Policeman Lowz were to take the stand and swear to having seen Professor Brenton enter the while the place was under observa- ton of the police
 H Entire Plan Failed.
 MThe entire plan, according to the rumor, failed, because Judge Thomas, after lengthy deliberation, declined to allow the evidence of Mrs. fleming |. way to be admitted Mrs. Hemingway was formerly housekeeper at Grace Morton's places at No. 8 Arch street and at No. 40 Commerce street, and the expressed purpose of David E.. Fitzgerald, counsel for Mrs. Holman. was to have her identify Professor Trenton as a visitor at these places
 According to Chief Farrell, Pro- lessor Brenton went to the police station. for.eethe purpose of having the detectives confront him. and having them make their Identification in his presence, if they could.
 7.Chief Farrell said neither detec- tives nor Policeman Lowe could iden- tify Professor Rrenton, and all united in saying they had never seen him until confronted by him at the police station on Thursday.

as Napoleon's. The Franco-German
war cost France $3.50, 100000. be-

which lasted only 100 days. cost Ger
many s45o.000000 for an average
fighting force of 100000 men. The
other big European war of the past
half century, the Russo-Turkish war,
cost Russia 1886, 100000. but she had
two years fighting for her money.
The war In the far East cost japan
s650000.000 and Russia $723,000,OOO,
not counting lost ships. Only toward
the end had either side anything like
