Not even a dill pickle or a succu
lent prune graced the pantry at the
county Jail yesterday when Sheriff
Vollmer went to the North avenue in
stitution to take possession. The de
parting officials had licked the plat
ter clean. The cracker box was em
pty, the sugar bowl contained noth
ing: to sweaten the coffee and the
bread was not among those present.
bnemr vollmer ransacked the
place but could not find enough to
feed the 300 prisoners who were
plaintively licking their chops and
threatening to lick the Jailers. Con
tinuing his tour of the premises the
new sheriff found that the pictures
nad been taken from the walls of the
office. Even as he inspected the
building Sheriff Vollmer saw moving
vans going away loaded with goods
from the building but he didn't try
to stop tnem.
The engineer whose term had ex
pired damped the fires "Wednesday
night and yesterday morning when
the prisoners romped merrily to their
dally pastime of making shoes, there
was no power to start the machinery.
So they went back to their apart-
menls and read Laura Jean Libby's
ravings until the fires were started
again.
The three officials who were not re
appointed went away Wednesday and
left Deputy Jailer Scofleld in charge
all by his lonesome. The 300 prison
ers iJn't Irnow they had only one
suardian or tney might have tried to
tear up the Jail by the roots. Deputy
Scofleld finally sent out and got
enough food to supply the inmates and
the cruel war was over.
Sheriff Vollmer said this morning
that ; he did not care to comment on
the matter. He was asked if he would
appoint Arthur E. Plumb a deputy in
Trumbull. I haven't decided yet"
answered the sheriff. I have 17 dep
uues now ana i tmnK i win rest a
little while. Before I name deputies
in Trumbull and Sherman I Intend to
visit these places and find out the
sentiment of the citizens."
It is reported that Plumb has been
offered the place but refuses to ac
cept unless he can get his old position
as custodian of the Superior court.
This pays $5 a day on days when the
court is in session.

? freshen old straw matting. It should
' be applied with a woolen cloth.
It is a wise precaution against get

sift Just a little flour into the fat when
it is hot.
Little caps made of heavy cloth and
' fitted over the ends of rockers will
. save much damage to furniture and
baseboards. ....
Salmon and -cream cheese make a
, delicious sandwich. Spread the fish on
' the cheese to "make the slices stick to

When wardrobe and bureau drawers
have a tendency to stick a thorough
application of soap will usually prove
effective.
Cauliflower should be turned down
ward when cooking, so that the scum
may not by any mean's settle on the
white part. .
Stains, on mirrors and window glass
rray be removed by an application of
spirits of camphor, which leaves a
brilliant polish.
For the benefit of women with re
cipes which call for eggs by weight
instead of numbers, ten eggs of me
dium size weigh a pound.
Green soap is the best cleanser for
pimples and -blackheads, but should be
used sparingly and diluted with water,
or it may irritate the skin.
If an oil lamp that, in spite of being
clean.- will hot burn brightly, it can be
Improved by" putting a half of a tea-
spoonful of salt into the oil.
Preserves, Jellies and canned fruit
should be kept in a dark closet. If
the closet . has a glass door it should
be covered with a dark green shade.
To freshen stale cake, dip it for a
second in cmd milk and then rebake
it in a rather cool oven. Stale bread
may be treated in the same way.
Keeping groceries in paper bags is
the hallmark of a slovenly housekeep
er. There should be a proper recep
tacle, tin box or glass Jar, for every
thing. If moths get into the carpets, boil
a few camphor balls in water, dip a
clean broom into the mixture and
sweep the carpet with the dampened
broom.
For . ioIIshing brass trimmings such
as dcor knobs and hinges, mix equal

of Poverty anct Starva
Medical Examiner Donald
son Gives Certificate of
Death by Suicide
Suicide by throwing himself before
the Bay State express, known as the
steel flyer sped through Fairfield this
morning shortly , after 11 o'clock,
brought death to an unknown colored
man, 35 years of age presumably a
vagrant about a1 mile east- of, the
Fairfield depot. His remains were
strewn along the steel rails and ties
for many yards, later being picked up
and carried to the morgue of Rourke
& Rourke, in this city. ,
When the man was struck the ex
press was Bridgeport bound, and the
man was going in tne opposite airec
tion. Prior to the accident, he was
talking with a section foreman The
foreman afterwards stated that' in his
opinion the man was demented and
was in an excited frame or mma ana
his talk was rambling. He declared
he was penniless and starving. Just
before being struck the man was seen
to extract some papers from his pock

throwing himself before the express.

suicide. The Fairfield authorities are
putting the torn scraps of paper to
gether in hopes of gaining a clue , to
the man's Identity.
