The Zoology of Love.

When adolescent youth with love is
stricken,
He starts Zoo d. Amour with a chicken
If she's selected from the footlights
glare,
This youth is right in calling her a bear.
When intimacy ripens you will hear,
Him lovingly address her as, My Deer
But after marriage, when her old
friends chaff,
She'll call him Cat his back a silly calf.
In course Of time, though hardly ever
bid,
There comes another specimen-a kid.
Sometimes, when love has struck jar
ring note,
Divorce and alimony make this youth a
goat.
The more one judges, the less one
loves

J. HI. McMurray x, Fined $50 And Costs
 For Sunday Selling

After admitting that his client was technically guilty of violating the ex- else law Attorney Thomas M. Cullinan, counsel for John J. McMurray, keeper of a saloon at Myrtle and Railroad avenues, asked for a small fine being placed upon AcMurray, who is charg- ed with violating the excise law.
 McMurray was fined $50 and a fine of $1 and costs was imposed upon Peter Smith of 26O Gregory street, charged with frequenting. An appeal is likely to be taken in the case by McMurray.
 The saloon was raided last Sunday afternoon by President John c. Stanley of the police board, assisted by Liquor Agent John Browne, Sergeant Edward Wagner and Policeman John Halpin.
 Prosecuting Attorney Albert J. Mer- ritt asked the court to refuse NcMur- ray a certificate as the result cf his vio lation of the excise law. Merritt later reconsidered when he was informed that it was the first time that McAIur- ray has been convicted on the charge of violating the excise law.
 Without a certificate from the judge of the city court after being convicted in that tribunal any sa loonkeeper who shall dispense liquor shall be liable to suffer a revocation of his license which, including the fee he has paid for license, state and county, would be equivalent to a fine of upwards of $4,000. McMurray was granted a cer- tificate by Judge Bartlett when Prose cutor Merritt withdrew his objections.

great muscular development gave coll or to that idea.
 Jack Slack, then the champion of bruisers, had won his honor by whip. ping Jack Broughton, the popular father of pugilism." He was a churIish, evil-tempered fellow, wholly unlike the suave and polished Brough- ton, and had many enemies who long ed for his downfall. Among these was a wealthy Yarmouth shipowner named Sampson, who had been a personal friend of Broughton, and when he saw the Frenchman perform in the ring he decided that Monsieur Petit was the fellow who could whip Slack
 The match was made, and Sampson offered Monsieur Petit a hundred
 pounds, in addition to the stakes of one hundred pounds a side, if he sue ceeded in beating Slack. This meant g, thousand dollars to the Frenchman if he won, and, resisting the entFeaties of his little sweetheart and his em- pIoyer he went into training.
 There was much interest in the bat tie, and, although Slack was an Eng 1ishman and Monsieur Petit a foreign er, the latter did not lack friends and packers. Monsieur Petit was the first F'renchman to take up the profession of 'tIe boxe." In fact, this was the second time in prize ring history that a foreigner had sought fame in the' British ring, the first entry in that class having been Tito Carini, an 1tal- ian, who had been worsted by Bob Whitaker ten years before the Frenchman's appearance i nthe guise of a ring gladiator.
 It was on a July, day in 1751 that the first international championship battle was staged in Stacks tent, which had been pitched for the Occas- ion at the tiny village of Har1estOn, of 7i1Ta of sporting bloods of London, as well as a large contingent from nearby cities and towns, were on hand at the ap- pointed day.
 The Frenchman was so excited when the bout began that he forgot all he had learned of boxing. He rushed savageIy at Slack, gripping him about the throat with one hand, and pummelled him with the other The crowd howIed at the Frenchman, and when at last Monsieur Petits colossal form was ragged away from his smaller opponent it was found that Slack had been almost chOked to death.
 In the second round Slack evaded the rush of his giant opponent and threw him violently to the floor. Then the Ffenchman turned the tables by Slack out of the ring, the champion landing on the heads of some spectators. > The Frenchman's were jubilant, and offered a guinea to a shilling on their man. Slack returned to the fray none the. worse for his fall, and soon his su- perior science enabled him to batter the French gladiator back until he fell over the rails. The man-moun- tain tunbled eight feet to the turf. When he picked himself up he gave never another look at the ring, but pushed his way through the crowd and was gone before his packers req ized it. And so vanished into the nists of obscurity the first French dis, eiple of ''1e boxe.''

A small number of property owners have taken advantage of this offer. The administration needs the money and it is the intention to take some action against those property owners who do not pay up.

JUNK PUT GAR AGE REDUCTION PLANT
 OUT OF BUSINESS
Bridgeport's Product Adul- terated With Horse Shoes
 and Tin Cans.

In the superior court at Hartford yesterday, / Judge Gardiner Greene heard arguments on the claim of the city of Bridgeport, based on a bond for $10,00O given the city by the Aetna Indemnity Go. as surety for the Bridgeport By-Products Go:
 The case was brought before Judge Greene on a report found by James E. Wheeler of New Haven, a commit tee to examine contested claims filed with the receiver of the Aetna Co. A history of the matter, presented before Judge Greene. follows:
 On May 27, 1904, the Bridgeport By-Products Co. entered into a 10 years contract with the city of Bridge port, under which the By-Products Go. was to take and reduce the garbage of the city for the price of 50 cents a ton. The bond was given for a faithful performance of the contract The contract between the city and the By-Products Co.,, provided that the garbage should be delivered to the company free from foreign substances. The By-Products Go. operated under the contract about six years and then it notified the city of Bridgeport that it would not continue under the con tract unless the city lived up to it's part of it and kept foreign substances from it, the claim of the By-Products
 
 tin cans, spikes, hoseshoes, crockery, rags, statuary and other things, and thus wrecked the machinery of the By-Products Co.,, and made the cost of reduction more expensive. The city of Bridgeport held it suffered a loss by the alleged repudiation of the contract by the By-Products Co.,, and seeks to recover under the $10,OO0 bond.
 T. M. Cu11inan appeared for the city of Bridgeport, Arthur M. Mrash 'ap- peared for the By-Products Go. and J. Birney Futile, the receiver of the Aetna Indemnity Co., appeared for the estate. The Aetna Indemnity Co. has been in receivers hands since Jan. 7, 1911 MT. Marsh and MT. Futile ar gued that as the committee had found that the city of Bridgeport had sus- tained no loss on Jan. ', 1911, when the receiver was appointed, that under a generally held legal principle, no damages accru1ng after the date of the appointment of the receiver could be allowed against thief und in the possession of the receiver.

COnC1nu0o ITOIl page ed that the defense would argue Ja- son Haines was insane at the time of the crime, having suffered from un- mems actuated by excessive and long continued indulgence in alcoholic bev- craze. N
 It was also disclosed that evidence would be submitted to prove that Haines prior to the crime, and sub sequqentIy when captured, he was in a state of mind differing from that in which he had previously been known by his friends
 A part of this evidence was offered yesterday and the defense disclosed it's purpose that a Hypothetical ques- ton might be offered to pr. C.. c. Godfrey, who qualified as an expert on nervous disorders.
 A hypoth etica1 question of nearly 2,00O words, alleged to state the con dfion of Haines prior and subsequent to the crime was admitted by con sent of States Attorney Cummings, with later objections to a part of it's subject matter, on the ground that it was not adequately complete
 Upon hearing the question read pr. Godfrey declared that his opini0N of the person hypothetically portrayed was that such a person would be con- sidered insane at the time of the commission of the crime.
 Dr. Godfrey gave many interesting details as to the symptoms and ac- tions of a person suffering from de- driurn trem ems. He was subjected to exhaustive cross-exanination by the state.
 The trial will be resumed at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning.
