Believed Second Regiment Will There This Year. Amon{ national guardsmen in New Huaven it is the belief that the Sécond regiment will go to camp at Niantic in late July or early August. For three years there has been no rendez- vous of state troops at Niantic. Pra tice march participation with regu- lar and other state troops in manoeu vres and the devotion of the annual tour of duty to rifle practice at West Havep are reasons for neither of the two infantry regiments going to Nian- tia lately. The announced . policy of . the -war department - following the results to underrtrained citizen- soldlery in the Massachusetts manoeuvres I er, not to subject state troops to the conditions of a big war gmme, i theught to be the reason for the re. ported intention of the C.

Two more suits have been brought, the papers in which are returnable to the superior court the first Tuesday in March. Mrs. Charlotte E. Smith of Groton has instituted proceedings to obtain a divorce from her husband., Walter L Smith, also of Groton, The case will e heard before the March term of the superior court. Mrs_Smith was formerly Miss Charlotte E..Budding- ton. of Groton, was married to Smith gight years ago, and: from thelr union two ldren, a boy and a girl, ‘were born. A year following the weddi wife shamefully cruel, and this same treatment has continued since. until she decided to obtain her freedom through the courts, Alleging that while .in its employ he had received injuries which ren- dered him incapable of following his wusual vocation, Frederick H. Harris of New London Thursday brought suit against Angus McDonald Co. of Bos- ton for $10,000 damages. Last August the plaintiff was em- ployed by the defendant company as a carpenter on a building which it ‘was constructing’ at Lyme. A staging had been constructed about the build- img from which work was done. Fol- lowing the direction of the foreman in charge of the work, Harris claims he went on the staging. While thus em- ployed the staging gave way, precipi- tating him to zhe Eround, causing & broken wrist and pumerous bruises about the body. THe plaintiff alleges that since he has been unable to work at his occupation as the result of the injurifes received. The papers were served on a member of the firm which is at present constructing the new Thames bank building in Shetucket street, here MISS DRESSLER’S PLAYING Greatly Pleased at Concert Given in Newark. In an unostentatious manner, the Lisgt club, of which Frederic C. Bau- mann is the musical director, is doing ‘a good.deal to stimulate interest in =ood music and to provide enjoyment for those who hearken to its minis- trations, says the Newark Rvening News. Its activities are largely de- voted to the study and performance of compositions for the pianoforte, and in this field of artistic effort its mem- bers show abilities that make any con- cert employing their talents a means of musical refreshment and 4n agree- able i The club ga: its thirteenth public concert in the assembly hall of the University of Music, February 11, and, despite the inclement weather the at- tendance was so large as to tax the seating accommodations, The mem- bers of the organization who were heard en this occasion were the Misses Emily. Pierson, Evelyn Sippel Kather- ine Eyman and Gertrude Kuebler, pi- anists, and Mrs. Leopeld Rich, soprano. ‘With the assistance of Miss Mathilde Dressler, - violoncellist, of ew York, they presented a programme commen- dable for its variety as well as its musical ¢haracter. iss Dressler, an accomplished ‘cel- list, greatly furthered enjoyment of the concert by her playin~ of an Adagio and a Tarantele by Popper, Colter- man’s Le Reve, and Gouond's Spring Her facile technique enabled her to impart as much ®rilliancy the Tarantelle as a ’cello will allow, and in the slower measures of the oth- er numbers the smoothness of her ex- ecution, the mellow quality of her tone, expressive phrasing and graceful style 80 delighted her hearers that encores followed.

A supper and clirning party by the Helping Hands made an enjoyable eve- ning on Thursday at the Spiritual academy on CIliff street, where there was a good attendance, considering the weather., The clippings, in charge of Mrs. H. Mortimer Taft, were all sold out and afforded much amusement. Games were also played. The whist next week was announced to meet at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Bogue and the coming of May Pepper Van- derbilt next Sunday at the academy was also announced. o A FRIENDLY GROCER Dropped a Valuable Hint About Coffee. “For about. eight years' writes a Mich. woman, “I suffered from nerv- ousness—part of the time down in bea with nervous prostration. “Sometimes I would get numb and it would be almost impossible for me to sSpeak for a spell.

One evening our grocer was asking Husband how I was and urged that I quit coffee and use Postum, so he brought home a pkg. and I made it according to directions and we wefre both delighted with it. “So we quit coffee altogether and used only Postum. I began to get better in & month’s time and look like another person, the color came back to my cheeks, I began to sleep well, my ap- petite was good and I commenced to take on flesh and become interested in everything®about the house. “Finally I was able to do all my own work without the least sign of my oMl trouble.

Interest taken in the cost cf the Con- necticut judiciary carries with it no criticism of either the service it gives or the compensation given the judges, says “Trumbull” in the New York Sunday Herald. It is rather an eco- nomic question so far as a question of this kind can be said to be that. The increase in the price of maintenance has naturally at ted attention and provoked commenz but at the same time if a competent commission should testify after an investigation of the expense account that no more money was expended than the facts warrant- ed the average Connecticut eitizen would adjust himself to the condition. The lay mind was somewhat misled by the report of a committee of the State Bar, association with reference to the proposed abolishment of the courts of common pleas. The com- mittee reported that as they were ask- ed to pass upon the simple quastion whether those courts should be abol- ished there was but one thing for them to reply. Under the rules of the association they were obliged to confine themselves to the question and not undertake to argue it from some other point of view. They were quite aware that the members of the bar would understand why they reported as they did and gave no thought to the likelihood of the general public becoming interested. It is not-at all probable that the general public would have become interested had it not been for the attitude taken by other raembers of the bar who believe that the expense of maintaining the judi- ciary could be considerably reduced without doing an injustice to anybody cr clogging the wheels of justice. There are .some interesting facts which can be quoted which at least theoretically suggest that a commis- sion of inqguiry could make important suggestions and recommendations. In matters of this charaoter as in mat- ters of another character the immedi- ate indulgents in them get into a rut and easily reach the conclusion that the existing order of things is the best, that any attempt to change them would necessarily lead to confusion worde confounded. This conclusion is not altogether convincing to a lay- man, who is more and more impressed by the growing demands upon, the state treasury and the limite Te- sources of the commonwealth. The re- cent heavy issuance of bonds has set many people thinking who have not been in the habit of following matters of that sort, and the fear is frequently expressed that the Jittle state of Con- necticut may be biting off more than it can chew. I do not assert that this is so, but it does in a measure meet the criticism that the state must in the years to come exercise the best possible sense of economy and intro- duce strictly business habits of con- trol or there will be the dickens to pay, Considered Long Ago. As far back as 1884 the courts of common pleas came under the con- sideration ,of a commission of which William Hammersly of Hartford, since a justico of the supreme bench, was chairman. I am sorry I have been un- able to place my hands upon- that re- port in order to study more carefully its provisions, but the fact that he and his colleagues advised a reorganization of those courts suggests that they were far from.sure that they were needed even in their form at that time. In 1899 a commissioned- appointed by the then Governor Cooke t0 inquire into state receipts and expenses made a thorough investigation into court expenses and made specific_recom- mendations. It may be worth while to quote from that part of their re- port to this effect: “In_the matter of courts of com- mon pleas and the Waterbury district court we are of the opinion that radi- cal changes should pe made. We be- lieve that these courts can be dis- pensed with and their work as well done by the superior court, adding three to the number of superior court judges’ the ihree larger counties, Hart- ford, New Haven and Fairfield, can each have two judges for the full court vear. As the five smaller counties would@ not require the services of a judge in each instance for the full vears, Middlesex, Windham and Tol- land being able, under present cir- cumstances, to transact their business without the aid of a common ‘pleas court, there would be much time when one or more of the five judges assign- ed to the smaller counties couid, if needed, assist in the despatch of busi- ness “in the three larger. This would certainly result in a large saving to the state. First. in doing away with the salaries and expense of mainte- nance of a separate court; second, in shortening the tinie during which prisoners are held in the county jails while awaiting trial, thereby lessening the amount paid for board of prison- ers. We are strong in the faith that if the recommendations herein made meet with your approval that there . will result tb the state a very material saving in expense. with no impairment of the public service.” An" Expensive Judiciary. In the last thirty years the cost of maintaining the Connecticut judiciary has incr ed rapidl interesting and possibly illuminating. In 1878 the courts of the state cost in round numbers $183,000. Ten later the cost had increased to $263,- - Froposed by‘die-Shhv&r Committee. going to the local courts, their objec- tion being that as a rule local judges are not selected for their fitness but for their political' activity and influ- ence. When I asked if this source of weakness would not be removed if the power of appointment was given the governor and it was understood that | seryice on a local court would be con- sidered a stepping stone to the higher | courts the reply was really in the af- firmativg, though given reluctantly. It was finally admitted, however, pro- vided the pay in the lower courts was increased, I did not succeed In finding one law- yer who voted to sustain_the commit- tee which reported against abolishing the courts of common pleas who ad- mitted that the number of judges of these .courts with their clerks could be cut down one-half and ‘then be able to do all that is required of them. When asked. to account for the in- crease in the cost of inaintaining them | he admitted that he could not do that, nor could he understand it. In other | words, there would appear to be sub- | stantial ground for urging a commis- | “So with hives, rash, scabies, plit toes, AN ITCHING PALM — No, Cure for It.

In this tion the in- crease in the co: intaining the courts of common pleas is impressive. In 1887 these courts cost $36.000, in 1896 they cost cost the handsome In other words, these five courts common plegs, together with the Wa- | expending | terbury district court, are almost one-quarter of the amount e pended on the courts of the state. Careful inquiry shows that for some reason or other with which I am not familiar, the neighboring states fail to show such a large expense per capita. For example, at the time the commis- sion of 1899 made, their report, the state of Maine expended on i judi- ciary 7 1-4 cents per capit: New Hampshire 11.6 cents; Vermont 18 cents; Massachusetts 14. New Jersey 14.2, with Connecticut 49.1. Today the cost per capita in the state of Connec- ticut is much in excess of fifty cents. In using these figures in order to de- termine whether the courts of common pleas are giving a service commensu- rate with the expense they cause I run up against two sets of opinion. One set contends that while the cost of maintaining these courts has jumped from $36,000 to $130,000, they are ac- tually doing less work than they did thirty years ago. The supporters of this theory therefore argue that the state cculd abolish them and save that amount ' of money; that even if thejr abolishinent necessitated the appoint- ment o1 two, three or four new superi- or court judges the saving would still be in ‘the, neighborhood of $75,000 a year without impairment of the pub- Hc service. have encountered do not care to go so far as te assert that the courts of common pleas as_they are ‘organized today are defensible, but they do not believe that their abolishment would | result in a substential reduction in the cost of maintaining the judiciary ‘When they come to figure out the transfer of the bus- iness now done by these <ourts to the higher court, they see an increase of expense whieh would result in the same conditien.
