CIVILIZATION

Our love of the mysterious, the spectacular, is intrigued by the tales of splendor and vastness of the wealth exposed to view with the opening of the tombs of the King Tut-Ankh- Amen who ruled in Egypt 3,400 years ago. It is this wealth, this splendor, that appeals most deeply to the
 average person who reads Of the dis covery. Comparatively few will care whether new knowledge may be gain ed as to the ancestry of the King, the history of those days, The glitter of the beaten gold of tHe dome of the tomb, studded with precious gems will blind most of our eyes and at tract our thoughts.
 As one report has it people are "roused by the romance of civiliza- ton long dead, the richness Of which was emphasized, etc" The phrase "the richness of which civilization" carries with it an unconscious irony that is reflected in a contemplation of the appeals that were inscribed on the walls of the tombs to the dead Kings gods. How rich was q civilization which permitted such wealth to be buried taken from the sayorld for ever? What would one think of the civilization of today if custom allowed the giving back to the earth from which it was taken wealth which had taken years, decades, even centuries, perhaps, to accumulated
 Gold and precious stones do not constitute wealth except as they in- spire men to create true wealth. The millionaire of today would be unhap- py indeed if, with all his riches, he could not move men to add to the real wealth of the world by producing those things which men need and use. But the fact that the gold and the jewels were considered, i'll King Tut lAnkh-Amen's day. fit decorations for his tomb shows that they were then considered wealth. as they arc today; and their presence, buried in that tomb, shows not a high degree of 1 civilization in the mental accom- ! plishments of men, but rather the ! lowest order of mentality, one to which the sense of sight especially app pealed. Waste was the watch-word | of those times, the thing that held the | old civilization down as waste of energy and material tenrs to hold civilization back today.

 A fine of $200 for transporting ii- quor with intent to sell, was handed down in the case of Tony kozhino- wicz who was also charged on repu- tation and keeping with intent to sell counts. Tony lives on Gold street and conducts what the police term a ''foodless restaurant" at 109 Church street. Last Monday patrolmen w. $. Strolls and J. C. Stadler, having re- eeived information that Tony carries liquor from his home to the restaur- ant for the purpose of sale, trailed him through the streets. When he entered the Church street store, they followed and took from his person fcur and one-half pints of alleged li auor. 4 witness one Thomas Maiew ski, testified to having purchased li- quor in the store three weeks ago.
 Tony was represented by Attorneys Michael A. Sexton and S l. Traceski. He told Judge Hungerterd that the liquor was to be taken to plainville for a party.
 Lhfet W. C. Hart teStifed that tony admitted selling the stuff for 25 cents and 45 cents drink, there being two, different grades. In reply the ac- eused restaGrateur said he was re- ferring to the prices charged some time ago when he was first arrested.

HES DOWN"

It is natural to hit a man when he's
 down-an age-old habit. So there is
 nothing remarkable in the fact that
 press and public are hitting the New Saloon League, William H. Anderson
 who has taken such delight in times past--and who will undoubtedly take the same delight in the future-in hitting at everyone who questioned the propriety of his shouting or the righteousness of the movement for which he shouted. The remarkable part of it is that the "intemperate," i" as the "intemperate" Anderson would call all who differed from him, have been remarkably temperate" in their manner Of hitting. What delight he would have taken had the shoe been on the other foot. How he would have ranted at and reviled any man work ing for the liquor interests who helping to organize q great lobby in Albany, refused to tell whence had come matter of s24.000 and what he did with it after making the ae. as Anderson has, that his knowledge of political methods aided him in bringing success to his cause!
 Now comes real test of the sim eerity of William H. Anderson. One may realize that if is treading close to disobeying the wise command Judge Not" to read Anderson into the class of hypocrites and undeserv- ing which is fast growing into a army. Nevertheless it may be safe to say that to the best hu- man understanding it would be thet

he was assaulted. Pilewski denied these conditions and explained that Payanski was angered at finding him in the house and struck him.
 4 probationary period of three months was ordered in the case of Nicholas Calomonti, arrested for .as- saulting his wife. Patrolman Gustav Hellberg arrested Nicholas Saturday night on Oak street, upon complaint. The wife testified that her husband struck her when he came home drunk.
 At the request of Lawyer Donald Gaffney, the cases of Dave Benjamin and A. Pera were continued to one week from today.
 Bardeck Case Continued
 The case of Philip Bardeck, charged with violating the liquor law in a club room at 1S7 Arch street, was continued to Thursday morning. Sat nrday afternoon, Sergeants McCue and Ellinger and Patrolmen Stadler and Strolls seized two cases of beer and a bottle of alleged liquor on the premises.
 So that liquor seized in raid at Thomas Barbers store at 237 Lafay- ette street, might be analysed Prose- cutor Woods had that case continued until tomorrow morning Barber is by Lawyer Donald Gaff- ney.

WOMAN DRINKS IODINE AT MERRY SOCIAL GATHERING
Mrs. Alice GllieI Says Husband Threatened to Jump Out Window
 So She Wanted to Die.

In the midst of a merry party yes. terday morning at 120 Commercial street Mrs. Alice Guiel. aged 2S years made an unsuccessful attempt at sui eide. Quick aid saved her life from the effects Of iodine.
 Captain George J. Kelly received a telephone message shortly before II o'clock that a woman had attempted suicide at the above address, and he sent Patrol Driver Herbert c. Lyon and Patrolman Michael Massey to the scene with the police ambulance. The woman was removed to the New Brit ain General hospital. She is recover ing and will be able to leave the hos pital in day or so.
