The merketman stated that he would drive the cow to New Londen, kill the animal thefe and sell the careass, heofs, horns and hide, to a hide and tallow econcern. Dr. Black became suspicious and made investigation and he learned that .the diseased animal had net been seld to| any rendering coneern and he then took a peep at the marketman's ice box and sure enough there he found portions of the identical animal ready to be sold to customers, presumably, as it was all dressed as If preparel for sale. The offender was haled into the police oourt, found guilty, and sentenced to six months in jall. He took appeal from the sentence and | gave bond for appearance in the su- perfor court, There was another offensive trans- action in connectlon with the arrest| of the marketman. One of the local| papers at the time of the arrest re- | ferred to him as an Itallan, though | his name denotes to the contrary, and | this created considerable unfavorable comment among some of the Italian residents. When the case came into court the marketman was referred to as a Hebrew and this caused critism among his countrymen. Here's the ! point. What's the necesity of making reference to nationality in such cases, This mat- ter was brought forcibly to the atten- tion of the writer forty vears ago, more or less, when foreigners of a certain class were not as numerous as at the present time. In writing a newS item and of a shady nature the of- fender was referred to as a Jew, more through lack of forethought rather than attempt to belittle. On the day of publication, Joseph Schwartz, brother of Jacob Schwartz, and who preceded him in the dry goods business in New London came | to the office, newspaper in hand, and was glven permission to have a quiet talk with the author of the offemsive item. He asked if the offender had happened to be a Catholic, a Baptist, Methodist, a Congregationallst, or even a Spiritualist, if mention would have been made of the party’s religion. An apology was gracefully accept- ed by Mr. Schwartz and from that time in the long ago down to the present, the writer has never referred to a man's religion or nationality in court cases, when it could pe avold- er, or In any instance when its use reflected discredit on anyone. There is altogether too much such refer- ence in these modern times and is done through the thoughtlessness of some young fresh writers, just as was the case with this writer when he re- ceived the call down and the lesson that will last through life. Following in the wake of the Central Vermont and Grand Trunk men, who made the run over the line from Mon- treal to New London, and were enter- tained for a couple of days by a com- mittee of New London, Westerly, Block Island and Fishers Island citizens, a party of about thirty newspaper workers will soon make the trip, and expect the same courtesies. They will make the trip as the guests of the Grand Trunk Railway company, and will come to New London and back to Montreal in palace sleeping style, and it is therefore possible for them to make the trip and not cost them a cent individually. will not But, of course, they make any such impecunious All along the line of the it thing that is possible will be | = for the pleasure of the visitors who come for the purpose of booming business for the railroad company, and incidentally for New London, Watch d and Block Island. The newspaper chaps will be given more time at Watch Hill than was giv- €n the other visiting party, and the board of trade will make special arrangements for their enter- tainment. The party will arrive in New London at 8 o'clock in the morn- ing on the initial run of the Seashore express, and fen minutes thereafter, according to schedulf, they will leave for Eastern Point, remaining there un- til noon, and then departing for Block Island. They 11 arrive at Watch! Hill from Block Island at 6 in the evening, remain all night at the Hill when they will depart for Fishers Is- land. At 2.30 of the second and last day of the trip the party will return | to New Lendon, and then the people| here, or rather a few representatives| of the people, will do the henors for a | time, Then the party will be enter-| tained until the time arrives fer the| leparture on return heme trip, It is expeeted that the representa- tives of the newspapers among the party will give a general write-up of what they and that as a resuit of | the ger yrite-up there will be an | addition to the summer hotels at the| places ted, and t includes N Londen, to accommodate the threng will come from Capada te London to enjoy the benefits f life at the seashore and the pre-American air 2 sea in the geed old summer {ime, Washingt(;r; County, R. .
