Coroner Holt has made his finding re-
garding the death of Mrs. Edwin Smith,
Jr. His report to State Attorney Fessen-
den sets forth that Mrs. Smith died from
congestion of the brain, superinduced by
the shock resulting from an operation, of
criminal malpractice, which was not self
performed. The coroner does not find
that a certain physician who has been
named in connection with the case, did
commit the act. .It now seems that the
statement of the woman to her husband,
implicating a doctor, was not made at the
point of death, when it could be accepted
in a court of justice, but was made
shortly after the operation and previous
to her illness, which renders it mere_hear-
any evidence and therefore valueless.

POISONOUS COSMETICS.
Most cosmetics contain lead or nrsem'c,
Some may contain less than others, but
all have some. A few applications to
the face effect no injury, but when the
habit Of using cosmetics is once cen-
firmed it is necessary to keep it up if
one does not wish an ugly complexion.
Constant use makes the skin rough and
destroys beyond recovery its tissues.
Should there be an abrasion of the skin
it] is possible that the poisioniug,may
become constitutional and death ensue.
In most cases, however, the affection is
Ideal. The application of a mild lotion.
and the abandonment of the use of cos-
metics ‘is the. way of curing it. For
thought necessary, for it. heightens the
natural color, hides the blemishes of
homely faces and gives them a good
effect from a distance. But for.- the
majority of women it is of no earthly
servicoyand only a detriment. It does~
not add to the beauty of the natural
complexion; it makes the face sallow,
unhealthy. and unnatural. You can
tell faces on which cosmetics have been
appplied at a glance. Every third wo-
man that you meet—no. I will any two
out of every three—Shows that in this
respect her vanity is, stronger than her
sense. Women sit up late at night, out
late suppers, drink strong codes, get .
indigestion. and then complain of prior,
complexions. To make their faces clear
and unblemished they use cosmetics.
Perhaps this occurs at the beginning of
asocict‘y season. They oannotbreak
off using cosmetics, they think, until the
season is over. Bythat time tho habit
is_fixed, and their faces require cos.
metics to make them presentable. Good
' health, which comes from good care of
the body, is the best cosmetic.

BIRD REASON.
- The old blind instinct theory of bird
architecture appears to have quite
broken down.’ The proofs are‘most con-
vincing that blind instinct has very little
to do with the matter. Birds as nearly
as possible imitate the nests in which
they were reared, and bring to the work
a sort of rudimentary reason. As Mr.
Charles Dixon says, “Man has to learn—
the particular art of house building prac-
ticed by his own peculiar‘rnce; birds

siderable comment over the‘statement that
the justice held a consultation with the
prisoner in-the back yard while the officer
was gonefor the prosecuting attOrney.
We do not attempt to state ,the facts of
the case as there are conflicting reports,
and if there is any truth insome‘of them
the trial next Saturday will be interesting.

balance. 'Her fish pole and a string of
fish were found on the. bank" above.
Medical Examiner Powers ’was called, but
decided that an inquest was unnecessaly
as the cause of death was :very apparent.

The American nation hasa double birth-
right—liberty and land. Its liberty it has
guarded jealously, but until very recent
years it seems to have been very indiffer-

been diminished. A veteran legislator,

Ella Wheeler Wilcox, the poetess, of
Meriden, has sued the Cincinnati Church'
Musical company for publishing one of

Ansonia Sentinel: On Wednesday
Sheriff Gates by order of Judge Carpenter
served a permanent injunction upon the
fallow factory of Robert H. Grfilin in
Derby, the penalty for the violation of
which order is $10,000. This ends the
long fight that has been waged by the
Derby people against this first-class nuis-
ance. The establishment was located so
near the public school as often by its dis-
gusting smells to send the children home
sick, besides annoying the whole ‘neigh-'
borhood. ,

Waterbury American: Some of the
state papers credit Adjutant-General Smith
with saying that the $100,000 appropri-
ation by the legislature will only cover
encampment expenses. Now we had been
told that the reason for sending but two
regiments and the Fifth battalion to camp
was that there might be money enough to
buy what military clothing is needed in
the brigade. How do these things
hitch? Certainly $100,000 is a terrible
sum to expend upon the encampment as
planned, and the inference is that the
papers are wrong.

The Shepaug railroad suffers severe, if
not irreparable loss in the acceptance by
Superintendent Edwin McNeil], of the
superintendency of the Connecticut West-
ern railroad, last week. The Shepaug
has been greatly improved under his
management. The most important
bridges on the line have been replaced in
iron. The track has been greatly improv-
ed and partially relaid with steel rails, and
the road is now in better condition than
it has ever before been. This has been
done without incurring debt, and has
given bond-holders assurance that the road
is not being “skinned” in the interest of
those holding the stock. We think that
the Connecticut Western Co. will find that
they have secured avery able, competent
and efficient superintendent in Mr.
McNeill.—Enquirer. '
In in Hartford county town recently a-
tramp called at a house where only the
daughter was at home. The tramp seclu-
ed to know it, for he walked in, 'and in a
rough voice announced that he wanted
something to eat and wanted it “pretty
d—d quick too.” The young lady could
do nothing but consent to get it, and she
invited hint to sit down while she was get-
ting it ready. She then walked ed to a
drawer where her brother’s loaded pistol
was kept, which she herself was an expert
inhandling. Suddenly she faced about
and told him she had changed her mind
about getting him something .. to eat; she
now wanted him to clear out and' move
“pretty d—d quick too". Saying this she
covered him with the revolver. He took
one look into her determined eye and con-
cluded to start at once: As- he left, just
to show him that she understood the wea-
pon, she tired past his head, making him
as nervous as vengeance could desire.
