WITNESS AFTER WITNESS IN
 NEW BRITAIN
Such Evidence Our Readers Canno,
 Dispute.

As we take up the Herald week by week we are struck by the hearty unmistakable way in which witness after witness speaks out as Mrs Downie does here. If these people were strangers living miles away, we might take little notice of them. But they are not. They are our nelghbors living among us. Their word is too easily proven to admit of any doubt. They speak out in the hope that their experience may be a guide to others.

YeniIli Is Charged With Simple
 Breach Of Peace
MCMAHON IS IN COURT AGAIN
This Time Charged With Allowing Pigs to Roam Far From Clover Wife Fails to Press Non-SuppOrt Charge-Other Items.

Judge George G. Griswold disposed session of the town court this morn ing. The first case was that of Cesare Venil1i, charged with breach of the peace. He was tried last Thursday, but the case was continued until today in order that the court might ques- tion jurisdiction. The specific com plaint was soliciting. The woman in the case has disappeared and has not been located despite the efforts of the local constables. Prosecutor William H. Gibney asked the court for a con- victton on the breach of the peace charge. sentence of thirty days in jail was imposed.
 Tn the case of Patrick s. McMahon, charged with allowing swine to be at large on the public highway the state had no less than twelve wit nesses present. They were Dr. R. M. Griswold Charles Claudelen, L. S., Lucius and Allen Dean, Mrs. Ella Smith, William Lascells George Nor ton, Fred Young, William and Erwin Whitman and Arthur Elton. MT. Claudelen told the court that on the tenth day of August he saw twenty nine pigs on the highway. MT. Me Mahon entered plea of guilty and Judge Griswold assessed him s7 and costs, the fine prescribed by the statutes.
 Amos Bourgeois of East Berlin was in court on the charge of non-sup- port. He was arrested upon com plaint of his wife, who told COnsta ble Andrew Lawrence that Bourgeois had failed to contribute anything toward the support of his family in some time. Mrs. Bourgeois was not in court and after Constable Lawrence had failed to locate her by use of the telephone, Judge Griswold dismissed the complaint. Later, however, he reprimanded Bourgeois and told him %he must support his family.
 "T'm Nicholas White"
 The case against McMahOr had just been called, when man about five feet ten inches tall, weighing about 1855 pounds wearing a black nous tache, blue suit of the latest pattern rushed into court and said "Please MT Judge, I want to go bonds for "A this fellow" He pointed to Cesa re ~NeniIH.
 Prosecutor Gibney asked the man, who he was and received the reply I'm NichoIa White" He lives in New Britain, owns property on Chest nut street and it grieved him deeply 10 see Venilli in the tOils He was peremptorily ordered to sit down and x confer with the court later

years ago. He did not know wheth- CT VenilH was married or not but wished to put up a bond. Just as Constable Polo was about to take Venilli to Seyms street, White told Prosecutor Gibney, that the man was his sbrother. White does not do any thing now, for T own property" He was told to consult a Ia wyer and that ponds in case of an appeal was $1,0O0.
 Poor Business
 The firm of Mott & Palombo, which conducts the restaurant near the wa terlng tank at the depot has decided to go out of business, because of lack of patronage. The men conceived the idea of a modern restaurant last spring and immediately erected place near the tank. Business was so brisk the first three weeks, that an addition was necessary. Accordingly it was built, but in the last two months the trade has diminished so that now it is hardly discernible. Various req sons are given as to the cause The announcement is printed on card board, which hangs in the rear of the counter and reads as follows:
 Trade is dull
 Prices are high
 We close the joint

 No Belief In Signs.
 Touring autoists evidently do not believe in signs. The Suzio company is completing the Worthington Ridge job, beyond the car tracks. The men are doing the entire road at once and consequently it is closed. 'Road Closed' signs are placed at the top of Honiss' hill, but this does not deter the automobilists from driving by, until the end of the car line. when they are told by the men that pass ing is impossible. The detour goes from Honiss' hill as far as William Bulkeley's thence to the "Maples" where it rejoins the Turnpike. Work men on the job report that yesterday, no less than 200 motorists disregarded the signs and were forced to turn 7 about above the town hall. From 9 until 10 o'clock this morning, by actual count twenty-five did the same thing. Signs do not always lie. Real Estate Trade.
 Although the deed has not been re- corded at the town clerks office, 1t is understood that M. Matsen Is no longer in charge of the East Berlin mill. The grinding business is not all that it is cracked up to be, so last week MT. Matsen traded the mill to 1 Max Kennedy and J. Robinowitz of 1 New Britain for three houses on Small 1 ley street int he Hardware City. The new owners have already taken pos session and MT. Matsen and family are now residing in New Britain.

 Fighters Fined.
 Fines were imposed on two of the Portuguese Iaborers who participated in the riot at the White Oak quarries Sunday by Justice A. H. CondelI, be- fore whom they were arraigned last evening. The men were arrested yes terday afternoon after a complaint had been made to the police concern ing the methods adopted by the strik- ing quarrymen to get the men loyal to the company to quit their jobs. The men nabbed by the police were seem lngly no more to blame than others involved in the brawI and they were let off with fines of $5 and costs.
 A similar fine was imposed on Thomas Collins a transfer station en- plOye, who was arrested for intOxica- tion Sunday. Officer Marine testified against him..

SIX POINTS FOR BATH

Bellefontaine, Ohio, has introduced
a novel idea in it's rural schools
which we believe will meet with the
approval of many and which will be
widely copied. The plan is a home
credit system to vitalize the work Of
the school. Cash prizes are offered
and will be awarded May II which
is to be educational Day"
If boy or girl in the rural schools
brushes his teeth, takes a bath, re-
tires before nine p. m. and sleeps
with the windows open, nine credit
marks will be given him or her at
school, six marks being for the bath
and one mark each for the other
items.
If the pupil cleans a lamp, car
ries in two scuttles of coal, dusts
the furniture, makes a bed, washes
the dishes, turns the cream separa-
tor gathers the eggs, makes bird
box or milk stool, other credit marks
thereby are gained at school.

of practice, found that a prescription
made with glycerine, entirely of roots
