A Phonograph Clock.
A German trade journal says, under
the headline, "The Phonograph Clock,"
that Switzerland has gained, a point
over America in the clock industry by
placing on the market a timepiece
which bears that name. It Is valuable
as a novelty and "a' source of comfort
to the blind and the lazy." The clock
may be placed in any room in connec
tion with a phonograph and a person
in any adjoining room, having no clock
and where connection has been made
with the timepiece by electric wires,
need merely to press a button to hear
the time called aloud by the instru
ment. The same principle has been
employed in the German reichstag,
where by touching a button the mem
bers in distant parts of the building
are told by phonograph the name of
the next speaker.

BEAUTY
IS MORE THAN
SKIN DEEP
A good complexion lies down in the
under-skin tissue. The skin is com
posed of two parts. There is hardly
any dividing line between them
though.
The inner skin is continually being
transformed into outer skin, the top
most layer of which is thrown off in
the form of scales. There must be
plenty of food for the inner skin in
order to have a healthy outer.
A gentle application bnce or twice
daily of PEROXIDE CREAM will give
to the tissue just the nourishment it
needs. A good complexion is the nat
ural result of using Peroxide Cream.

BOTOQOD WAS FOUND GUILTY
Sentenced to Year in Jail, the Condition of His Health
Keeping Kim from State Prison Court Adjourred
Until May 24.
The jury; in the criminal superior
court, which held a Saturday session
lasting all day until after 5 o'clock,
brought in a verdict of guilty in the
case Jrgainst William E. Rockwood,
charged with the theft of $145. Judge
Wheeler sentenced him to one year in
jail, although he. said he could have
given him five years in state prison,
but was lenient because of the condi
tion of his health.
The first witness Saturday mominsr
was William F. Hill, who testified to
knowing Rockwood, -who, he said, sold
insurance and real estate. He stated
that he 'loaned money to Rockwood and
received a money order for $42.54 cent
by Rockwood from Worcester, al
though the letter -was dated Putnam.
It paid for $35 loaned Rockwood and
an insurance commission. '
In regard to the bank account of Mr.
Pulasky and the deposit slips. Cashier
C. Leslie Hopkins of the First Na
tional bank testified. This completed
the state's testimony.
Testimony for Defendant.
The first witness called .for the de
fendant was Charles E. Lane, who tes
tified to meeting Rockwood on the
street and going with him by trolley to
Danielson. They went to East Kil
lingly, where they saw Mr. Lane's
farm, which Rockwood thought he
might sell. Mr. Rockwood went to
Worcester on this day.
Dr. Nathan G. Gray testified to pay
ing Rockwood; $10 for pictures he
bought of him, while Arthur Durr tes
tified he met Rockwood near Pulasky s
store April 12 and talked about some
pictures. They had some beer. F. E.
Watson testified for Rockwood, who
had' talked about insurance with him.
The wife of the accused, Mary Rock
wood, told of working in the Shetucket
mill and giving her husband all sne
earns. They have two small cnnoren.
Jennie Humes, her daughter by a pre
vious marriage, told of working and
giving her earnings to Rockwood.
Town Clerk C. S. Holbrook testified
that he received papers to be recorded
which Attorney Thresher drew up, and
Hvmen Fickelstein, an employe oi
Pulasky's, testified to what he knew
about the case. Deputy Judge Barnes
nresided over the city court when the
case was heard there, and he told' that
Rockwood was given a chance to Ac
plain how he came by the money.
The Accused Testifies.
The accused testified that he was in
EDWARD C. ELY
ON A BALLOON TRIP.
Thought They Might Go to Canada,
But Came South Instead, Landing at
Sharon, Ct.
Contrary winds and a heav-y passen
er list combined to land Roswell C.
Tripp of New York, the old Yale foot
ball guard, and the balloon party of
which he was host, in Sharon, Conn,
41 miles from Pittsfield, Mass., early
Sunday, instead of in Canada, to which
point the aeronauts had expressed their
intentions of sailing. 4
The balloon Springfield w-as sent up
from Pittsfield at 4.30 o'clock Sunday
morning, and a successful descent was
made at Sharon at 9.30 o'clock.
In the party were Edward C. Ely of
this city, brother of Alderman Ely, and
Fairman Dick of New: York, as told in
Saturday despatch from Pittsfield,
which said that they had intended
starting from Springfield, but being
unable to secure long distance balloon
gas there they changed to Pittsfield,
and 60,000 cubic feet of gas were or
dered there.
Pilot William Van Sleet of Pittsfield,
who went up with the party.had prom-
sed to take them on a double century
trip, and as there was a strong south
wind Saturday night the party thought
they might go to Canada and try for
the trophies offered to the balloon
which firsts lands on Canadian soil.
In order to make the double century
flight a dozen bags of sand weighing
00 pounds were needed. This meant
that the balloon would lift nearly a
on, including the passengers' -weight
of 750 pounds.
THE MAPLES
FARM
HAS BEEN SOLD.
Purchased by First Selectman A. W.
Lill.ibridge Contains 70 Acres and
One of the Finest Hereabouts.

many years owned by the . late John
Maples, has been sold by his widow,
Mrs. Nancy Maples, to First Select
man Albert W. Lilli-bridge. It is a
well known produce farm and for a
umber of years has been occupied by

one considerable damage there. It is
xpected that Mr. Lillibridge will im
prove the place When Mr. Maples
as living the furm was much larger,
several tracts having been sold at dif
ferent times.
MUSICAL PROGRAMME
Given by Quartette of Central Baptist
Church Two Sermons by Rev. P. C.
Wright.
A special musical programme by the
cfturch quartette was given on Sunday
at the evening service at the Cen
tral Baptist church to the pleasure of
a good sized congregation. Two an
thems. Softly Now the Light of Day
(Nevin), and O God. the Rock of Ages
(Gray), were harmoniously sung by
the quartette. The tenor solo, O Lov
ing Father (Dane), was expressively
rendered by George A. Turner, and
Miss Carrie Lyman was heard with
pleasing effect in the soprano solo. My
Redeemer and My Lord (Dudley
Buck).
The programme was in charge of
Choir Director James L. Case and
Prof. Herbert T. Miller was at the
organ.
Rev. P. C. Wright, who lias been
away for two weeks, attending the
Northern Baptist convention at Chi
cago, and visiting at his home in Wis
consin, occupied the pulpit at both
morning and evening services and was
heard with much interest in two
thoughtful sermons.
A Pillar.
For forty years, without a single
break, Joseph Fischer 'has been a daily
customer at the Dietl brewery tap, in
the town of Strau'bing, Bavaria, and
during that period has spent $4,000 in
beer and $115 in tins. "Such men as
these," remarks a Munich newspaper,
"are the pillars of our native brewing
industry, the steady upholders of. our
patriotic traditions. The chair in
which this modest hero daily sat for
forty years shoulji one day find a place
o.f honor in the itiffl'n hall of JStraubing.
to be venerated as l memoHal of otie
'imbued -with t profound love of his
country, one who fu Hilled in a faithful
and muiarfuniiiig manner the rcl duties
of a eitizeu."

no politician. If he had been lie would
have Xfn content fro lt well enough

Pulasky's store, but he owner was
out of it but two minutes at a time.
He denied taking money from the big
pocketbook and said he had talked in
surance with Pulasky and had wit
nessed a paper for Pulasky when he
was trying to turn bis business over
to his brother. He said he sold an
insurance policy to Patrick Shea, bor
rowing $25.54 from W. F. Hill to send
the company, as he supposed Mr. Shea
was to pay toy the year, but he decided
to pay by the month. He borrowed $10
of Mr. Hill later. He did not need it
then, but wanted to teat Mr. Hill's
confidence in him. He claimed his
testimony in the city court was given
as it was because he didn't want Mr.
Hill to know of the matter.
After seeing the Lane farm Rock
wood said he went to Putnam and then
to Worcester, where he visited his
mother. He said he had about $'-'0
then and paid a few bills for his
mother. He stated a number of ways
in which he received the money. He
denied emphatically taking the money.
S. H. Thresher told of drawing a
paper for Pulasky, after which both
sides rested. The arguments were
made by Attorneys Hall, Douglass and
Hull and were completed at 4.45
o'clock. Judge Wheeler occupied but
a few minutes in charging the jury and
they retired at 4.52 and were out less
than twenty minutes. They brought fln
a verdict of guilty.
Considerable time was taken In
learning about Rockwood. Attorney
Douglass spoke in his behalf, stating
that his health was not good and that
he thought the sentence should be
light. State ' Attorney Hull showed
that he had- been in trouble before,
having been sentenced in Worcester,
and some time ago he took money
from an employe of the Occum mill
while coming down on an elevator.
Superintendent Perkins searched him
and the money was found in nis
clothes. Judge Wheeler inquired about
his health and Rockwood said it was
not good and that he could not do
hard work. The judge gave him some
good advice and said that he could
send him to prison for five years. He
thought, however, even if he 6ent him
for two years it would undermine his
health, and he decided to give him a
year in jail.
Court was then adjourned by Deputy
Sheriff Draper until Tuesday, May 24,
at 10 o'clock- In the meantime a date
will be set for hearing the motion in
the Addie Burns case.

LIEUTENANT CHURCHILL
SENT TO STORRS.
Will Be Professor of Military Science
and Tactics at Connecticut Agricul
tural College.
Orders were issued Saturday at the
war department, Washington, detailing
First Lieut. James M. Churchill of the !
Eighteenth United States infantry as
professor of military science and tac
tics at the Connecticut Agricultural
college at Storrs. This is what Presi
dent Beach of Storrs -was in Washing
ton for some weeks ago, and it looks as
though a permanent instructor would
be furnished by the war department for
the state college.
Lieutenant Churchill will proceed to
Connecticut as soon as possible and
probably will take charge by June 1.
Poles in Connecticut.
In his address at the unveiling of
the statues of Pulaski and Kosciuszko
in Washington Wednesday afternoon,
President Taft praised the Polish -soldiers
and paid a tribute to Polish im
migrants in the United States.
Natives of Poland are playing a
growing part in the affairs of America.
They have become an important ele
ment In the citizenship of Connecticut,
and their numbers are steadily In
creasing. During the year 1908. ac
cording to a report recently issued toy
the Connecticut bureau of vital statis
tics. S04 children of Polish immigrants
were born in the state. The bulk of
the Poles of Connecticut have settled
in Hartford- and New Haven counties.
They are doing a considerable frac
tion of the rough work of the com
monwealth. They are employed in fac
tories, till farms and work as day
laborers. They constitute a consider
able element of the labor employed -in
the mills in such industrial towns as
New Britain and Southington. Within
a decade the Polish census of the state
has probably expanded about 400 per
cent.
The Poles who bave established
homes in Connecticut are a.s a rule
steady anil industrious laborers. Idle
ness has little fascination for them.
They are a husky and rugged lot, and
they represent the hardy and not the
soft virtues. They have mastered the
arts of frugality and thrift, and many
of them have accounts in the savings
banks of the state. Their importance
as an influence in the industrial and
agricultural life of Connecticut is like
ly to grow. Hartford Times.
