, The fact that the concern will locate

Now that Mr. Betta has entered the

rather expensive for the city.

with lights extinguished for the ghost
which was expected to appear.
One of the mischievous young men lib-

a wild scramble among the ladies for
the tops of the tables and chairs In the

actually appeared, completely demoral'

matters and assure the ladies there
was no cause for fright.

To the Editor of the Sentinel
’ Dear Sir: Norwslk has a growing
and delightful suburb-picturesque
Winnipauk.
when these two places were content to
lead a separate existence. That time
In past. Now. with the trolley car. the
bicycle and the automobile competing
for the honor of the "connecting link"
between town and country. the "sub-
urbs" of Winnlpsuk are almost as
closely allied to the city of Norwalk as
one Siamese twin to the other. The.
welfare of one Is the welfare of both.
What helps Norwslk helps Winnlpouk:
whet hurts Narwslk hurts Winnipouk.
and vice vlrso.

Now. there Is one thing that. In the
opinion of a good many of Its most res-

very much. That Is. the sale of liquor.
too much liquor. liquor that Intoxi-

cates. Any one who lives In Winnipsuit
is likely to have daily proof that it is
that kind of liquor that is sold there.

Winnipauk Is a very small place“
so small some people think it Is not
worth troubling one'a head over. It Is
a nice place enough—just the place to
drive out to when the horses are bitch-
ed and one longs for a breath of fresh
country air. A pleasant point for a
trolley ride on a summer's night; a
fine situation for golf-links: a regular
Mecca for happy swaius. top‘tllting
buggies and "best girls"—~thst is WIn«
nipauk. It is. besides. a fruitful field.
for chestnuttlng. It Is also a good
place to take one's little hatchet and
"Q.“"QF" Christmas trees. The chil-
dré't‘i‘must not be disappointed of their
Innocent pleasures. And. If one should
see a half-a-dosen more. just ripe for
Santa Claus. not for from the first. why
surely. the farmer will not miss a
few little cedars. One does not expect
to be a better man than George Wash-
Iugton and even the Father of his coun-
try. so history avcrs. believed very‘ lit-
tie in restrictive urboreal rights.

Yes. Winnlpauk serves many pleas-
ant purposes. Yet It is a small place~
a very small place. Both the Law and
the Gospel are apt to overlook It. For
the Law, we are not surprised—for
Justice is proverbially blind—nbuf the
Gospel!

There are police In Norwalk. Win-
nipauk I am told. is Included in their
Jurisdiction. Yet. In Winnipauk. a po-
liceman Is a rare avls. The children.
hiding behind their mother’s skirts.
peep-out to stare at them with eyes as
large and round as the brass buttons
which adorn the officer's cost.

This is not the fault of our oilloers.
They are good-looking men. are the
Norwalk police force, from the big
chief down. If they are a terror at all.
It Is only to evil-doors. It is not. the
officer himself. but the rarity of his
visitation. that makes him unwillingly
to pose as the bugaboo of Winnipauk.
This state of Ings is not. I repeat.
the fault of on police. There are not
very many of them and doubtless they
have their hands pretty full looking
after down-town sinners. It is just
that Winnlpauk to so small and so far-
off that It isecurccly perceptible to the
naked eye of Norwalk voters.

Norwalk cannot afford to provide
special police for Winnlpuuk. That
would cost money. It can "afford" to
license three saloons In Winnipauk.
But that Is another matter. For every
license Issued pours “50 right Into the
town treasury. We will not say any-
thing about the money It takes out of
that some treasury In providing gentle-
men—sometimes. for short. denominat-
ed “drunks"-wlth night's lodgings In
Smith street. In caring for negloctevl
children; In providing food and coal for
the family of the saloon's best patron.
which. too often has to‘ come "on the
town." while the patron In question In
so busy supporting tho “loan that he
has forgotten hehss such a thing as a
family to support. But all this Is an-
other story. A licensed saloon Is a
great source of revenue to a town—that
we can all understand.

There are no churches in Winnipank.
To be sure. Norwalk churches are easy
of access; but no easier than are Nor—
walk saloons. And. If there are not
enough saloons In Norwolk to assuage
even a Fourth-of-Jnly thirst on the
part of Its own residents and those of
little Winnipauk. too—why. there is al-
ways SOuth Norwalk. ‘

Winnlpauk has one day-school and
one Sunday school. both good ones. it
has no churches and no police. it has
a good monypoor folk and a good many
honest. decent. hard-working. God-
fcaring folk. and a very few.
who may. perhaps. be called rich folk.
It bar—and supports—three saloons. I
will say nothing of those other places
where Intoxicating liquors are sold
with just enough of privacy to give the
plquant flavor of "stolen fruit." Let
us first tako the licensed saloons and
ask why It b that Was people

Abe Jackson. accused of being an as-

operated in Norwaik a week ago Sat-

Frost. In the South Norwalk side of
the Town Court. The accused pleaded
guilty. but made a statement of his
connection with the case;

He said he met the women. Mrs.
Mary‘Cohen and Miss Fannie Sciesel.

in a place In Allen street. New York
He told them be was out of work and
was going to Norwalk to see a friend.
They said they were going to Con-
necticut also, and he could go with
them. They paid his fare to South
Norwallt. Arriving here the women
left him. and he remained In the viola.
Ity of the depot nearly all day. being
unacquaiuted with the town. He went
Into two places In Railroad avenue. he
said. and fried to get work. In the af-
ternoon be met the women again. and
they had a bundle with them. He was
asked to hold It. lie claimed he did
not know what It contained. After he
had waited awhile and they did not ap-
pear. he thought he would ship the
package to New York. He expressed
It In his own name. Intending to turn
the receipt over to the women so that
they could call at the company's office
In New York and obtain the bundle.
Shortl after that lie was arrested. lie
deni positiver that he had ever met
the women before that day. and he
knew nothing about them. He had a
letter of recommendation from a man
in New York. which stated that he had
been employed by him for the past six
months In the bicycle repair business.
and had been a faithful man.

Attorney John Keogh represented
the accused. ’He told the, mart the
reason the man pleaded guilty was be-
cause he did not want to be committed
to jail and remain thcrc several months
awaiting trial. when he could begin
serving a sentence now in case he
should be convicted. Mir. Keogh did
not believe the accused had any con-
nection with the rest of the gang. or
else they would have paid his line and
gotten him out before.

Judge Frost stated t t the statutes
deilned‘the offense. and imposed a pen-
alty of both hue and Imprisonment. the
severity of the sentence depending up-
on the enormity of the crime. The
prisoner had pleaded guilty and the
only duty of the court was to impose
the penalty. The maximum fine of the
court was $100 and a jail sentence.
While there was no evidence that he
was connected with the gang prev-
iously. he did not think the prisoner’s
defense was reasonable. Judge F'rost
thought the accused came here with
the women for the purpose of taking
goods. There were two counts against
the man, one for taking goods to the
value of $60 and the other to the value
of $40. In each case the maximum
fine of 8100 was Imposed and Imprison-
ment for sixty days In each case.

The prisoner will go to jail for four
months at least, and unless his fines
are paid. will have to remain there
nearly a year.

New York. November ti-The politi-
cal eompoign ended today was one of
the hardest fought struggles ever
known in this city In an all year. From
the time the Assembly appointed a
committee headed by Robert Manet last
spring to Investigate alleged irregular.
files In the New York city government.
both parties have been organizing for
the contest. The Republicans. to
strengthen them In their fight against
Tammany Hall. entered Into a fusion
arrangement on the county ticket with
the Citizens' Union and the Indepen-
dcnt Labor Party. and gave the

“achievnlty nomination to William J.

O'Brien.'s representative of the Labor
party. The sheriff's omce Is said to
be worth from 850.000 to $75,000 a year
to its holder. To oppose O'Brien. Tam-
many llail nominated William F. Grell.
at present a tax commissioner.

Two justices of the Supreme Court
are to be chosen this year. The Tam-
many Hall candidates are George C.
Barrett and James A. O'Gorman. Jus—
tice Barrett was endorsed by all oth-
er parties and is certain to be rte-elect»
cd. Against Justice O’Gorman. the fu-
elonists placed in the field former Jus-
tice Joseph F'. Duly. who was refused
a nomination last year by Richard Cro-
ker because he had refused to give a
clerkship to a man endorsed by the
Tammany organisation.

Although the county oflces to be fill-
ed are important. more Interest has
been taken In the fight for assembly~
man In the Nineteenth district than In
all the other contents put together. in
that district Tammany Hall act out
to defeat Assemblyman Robert Mazct
us a protest against the Investigating
committee bearing his name. The
Democrats. by preventing Manet a re—
election. would make It impossible for
him to present his committee's report
to the next Assembly. To gain their
ends the Tammany men stole a march
on the Republicans by endorsing the
candidacy of Peres M. Stewart. a Dem-
ocratic member of the Citlsen's Union.
The light was probably the most stren-
uous ever known In a New York disc
trict. Charges of colonization were
made by both sides, and every man
who registered In the district had to
submit to an investigation as to his
right to vote In that section of the
city. This scrutiny was so close that
itd use not seem probable that any man
Illegally registered will be able to vote
tomorrow. It Is thought Improbable
that the Democrats will be able to
change the present Republican com-
plexion of the State Assembly.

The campaign in Greater New York
has been managed by Richard Croker
for the Democrats. and Lemuel Ely
Qulgg for the Republicans.

IN MARYLAND.

Tialtimorc. November e—Thc day be-
fore clcction finds the leaders of both
parties apparently calm and confident
and making rather extravagant claims
no to the result. Chairman Murray
Vandivcer of the Democratic state com-
trnl committee says that his party will
carry twenty of the twenty-three coun-
tIca In the state. while General Thomas
.I. Schryock. who Is at the head of the
Republican state central committee. in-
slots that the Democratic candidate for
governor will carry Worcester county,.
in which he lives. and no other. More
conservative estimates concede the
eastern shore to the Democrats by l.-
200. southern Maryland to the Repub-
licans by 1.000 and western Maryland
by about the same plurality. leaving
Baltimore city with Its 110.000 voters
debatable ground.

Former Congressman Charles E. Cof-
fln. of the Fifth Congressional district
heretofore a staunch Republican. has
declared his Intention to vote for the
Democratic ticket on the ground that
Governor Lowridca has unduly favored
Congressman Mudd in the distribution
of state patronage.

today, the leaders all expressed confi-
dence as to the outcome of the election

ed that the Republicans were sure to
control both branches of the New Jer—
sey legislature. They may lose one. or
two senators. but there was a good
chance of gaining two or three usemc,

Stephen Camsth and Arthur Wil-

perienco while down fishing, Saturday
afternoon. which they do not core to
repeat.

Early In the day they started for
‘Botts Island bay for frost doll. and
had a day's fine sport. The wind fresh-
ened In the afternoon. but the fishing
continued good and the weather con-
ditions were not heeded until it blew
a gale. It wasthen decided that it
would be Impossible to row back In
the teeth of the wind. and they made
Betta Island. There was no sign of a
let up. On the other hand. the gale
seemed to Increase. This made Mr.
Comstock anxious. and knowing that
the folks at home wquld worry. be de-
cidedto‘make the attempt to get home.”
It was Impossible to pull up the such-
ors In the gale, and the ropes were fin-
ally cut. There were but one pair of
oars In the boat and but little head-
way could be made.

Finally the conditiono’beclibe so bad
that they had to give up rowing and
drift with the wind. it was rapidly
carrying them out Into the Sound.
when they hoisted signals of distress
by tying bandkerchlefs to an our. and
succeeded In attracting the attention
of the oyster steamer Freddie W. Deck-
er, which was returning from a dredg-
ing trip. They were taken on board
and brought to South Not-walk;

llow Two ilpriogwood Ave-ac losses
Frightened awsv lidslghi Intruders.

The Misses Fitch. of Springwoo-l
avenue. were thoroughly frightened by
burglars. Saturday night. and aroused
the neighborhood by ringing a huge
dinner gong. The women folks of the
household were armed. and had they
secured eight of the Intruder he would
have had the chance of telling his
friends what the novelty of being under
flrc meant. .

Early In the evening some one got
into the cellar and aroused the house-
hold by falling over a shelf and knock-
ing over a number of glass jars. The
intruders beat a hasty retreat. The
nest heard from them was at midnight
when they succeeded in raising up the
pantry window and crawling Inside.
The women folks heard them and do»
mended to know who was there. There
was no answer. but later two men were
seen in the road. As they were not on
the premises. there was no certainty
that they were the men who had been
around the house. The fact that some-
body was hanging about the premises
made the Misses Fitch feel so tmcom-
fortsble that the big dinner bell was
clanged at length. and William M.
Belfi’éamc to the rescue. He searched
.ihe premises and found plenty of evi-
dence of the visit. but the visitors had
‘dccamped and there was no clue to
