In New Voik on -donday the trial
of thirty rpilk dealers, accused of watering
tbtir milk, was begun. One dealer pleaded
guilty and was fined fifty dollars which
#he paid. A test ca'c was then put on trial
before a jury. The offence of adulteration
is a misdemeanor. The counsel for
the^board of health in opening, dtclared
that out of one hundred an 1 twenty millions
of quarts of .milk, so! 1 as such in
New York and Brooklyn, at lea-t forty
millions have heretofore been water, and
that therefore four million dollars have
.been annaily paid ibrcwater alone. The
case is still on.

"It is staled in legal circles that the effect
of the late de ' u.o T the supreme

reaches far wider than was at first supposed.
It is said that the principle laid.down
by the court is such that all parties who
have Uken out a policy of life invurance
i
i tad then failed through ooe cause or au- j
Other to coutiuue the payment Gf preii i"
