(Continued From First Page.) but Saturday afternoon he was trans- ferred by Sheriff Peace to the hos- pital ward at Lakeview Home. Jail Physician~ Ives examined Smith on his arrival at the jail and pro- nounced his injures on serious, as to demand hospital treatment, and as soon after this. as the transfer could be arranged the man was removed to Lskeview Home. Smith it is said was arrested in New York, after his joy ride in the stolen machine became a factor in an automobile accident in which he was the only person injured. The New York police learned that he was wanted in Stamford for stealing the car and they hurried him back to that city. In the Stamford City court he was given a hearing on the charge of stealing the car and was bound over to the Criminal Superior court. it was learned here today that Stamford has no provisions for caring for pri- soners who may be suffering from ill- ness or bodily injuries. and Smith was hastened to Bridgeport and the care of Sheriff Pease. The“ exact nature of his injuries could not be learned today, but Sheriff Pease said that Smith is helpless from his hips downward and that he is unable to do anything for himself. WITHIN rue LAW. Madeline Wss Perfectly Willing to Obey, out She Did it Quite Too Literally. Her name was Madeline. She was ' colored, dusky-black, as lean, flat and angular as a lath, and she was about 17 years old. The distinguished fea- ture about her face was. her eyes; they were large and round. and white, and they invariably expressed the last degree of startled "innocence. Madeline worked days . for Mrs. Judge Gentry. She went home nights. One morning she appeared with a large bouquet, which she presented to Mrs. Gentry before she began work ‘on .ihe breakfast dishes. To Mrs. Gentry the flowers seemed somehow familiar. "I’m very much pleased to 11111111 that you should bring me such nice flowers, Made line," said the white woman. “Does your mother grow them at your home?" Madeline became, if possible, more innocent. “No in, my mummy washes; she don’ grow nuthin.’ l jes' picked dat bouquet eaten a white‘lady’s yard." With a few questions Mrs. Gentry established the fact that the flowers came from the yard of her friend, Mrs. Gordon, in the next block. “Did Mrs. Gordon give them to you for me, Madeline?" she persisted. “No'm,” continued Madeline. "but she ain’ said I couldn't pick 'em." ”Well, what did she say?" went on Mrs. Gentry. Madeline gave close attention to her work. “I dunn jes’ what she say. She Wasn’t there ” Mrs. Gentry spent a busy 15 min utes in an eifort to impress upon Madeline the difference between mine and thine. Madeline agreed to every~ thing and professed her complete un- derstanding and apprehension. And the next Thursday morning she ap- peared with another, larger bouquet, vh.‘ ch she presented with an air of guileless noncbalance. "You didn’t take these beautiful bowers from Mrs. Gordon's yard; did ‘vou, Madeline'!"- Mrs Gentry asked, striving to mask her suspicion with lrindliné‘ss. "No’ 111," returned Madeline. "30' told me not to take flowers from white ladles' yards." 1 “Did some one give you these," con- tinued Mrs. Gentry. . "No 111," answered Madeline,- bodU didn’ give ’em to me.” “Then how did you come by‘ them?’ Madeline's eyes expressed the last degree of innocence. 'I jes' seed 'em, and I jes’ picked ’em." Mrs. Gentry was determined, "Did you go into some white ladys yard and take her flowers. "I done said yo’ told me not to take flowers from white ladiss’ yards.

So far no special club has asked questions. When applications are made it will make a thorough inquiry upon all matters relating to the club fratern- ity. The certificate is good for one year and it costs $100. The larger part of this money will go to the towns. .. The commisslnoners will also have to consider the question of issuing licenses of all kinds at increased free. But this phase of the law will not go into effect until November 1. All 11- quor licenses issued after that date have to pay higher fees. Full licenses will be 8750, except in towns of less than 3,000 inhabitants, when they will be taxed “15. Beer licen'ses 'will cost $333 instead of $20. They may grant wholesale licenses to reputable per sons for $333. Druggists’ licenses will also be higher, going from $5 to $65. Prescription licenses will cost :16 instead of $12. 3 Another provision in the druggistsj of‘ druggists to m every three thou- - .. license law limits the number sand persons. It the number of ii- censes now in a town are more than that, then no new license is to be issued until the ratio is in accordance with the law. Old ones can be re newed. This means that no new ll. cease can be leaped in Norwalk un- til there is a considerable increase in population. HAT TRADE GONDiTiONS. War and Other» Causes Produce'Um desirable Situation. .

This steady decrease has served to use up the .‘fat’ of many‘ibusinesses, with the result that they now find themselves down to the bone and marrow, and many are hard put in order to tide themselves over until a. turn comes for the better.,1The present depress- ing conditions are due largely to the war abroad, as well‘as-to generalcons ditions in this country, but there is no denying the seriousness of t,he situationflfl‘j ,1 The speaker continued that he was no pessimisutand believes that the future holds bright promise of good business, but asks, “Can those who are shaky hold on?"
