A riddle which is now agitating this
public is, what have the parties who are
crusading against the liquor dealers
thus far gained? The solution is plain:
They have closed out the business at
one point, and the firm which carried it
on will start up again at a point nearer
the churches and parsonages, thereby
giving the dominies a better chance to
Watch them. * ;L y

DEMOCRATS GET LEFT.

Concord, N. H., Jan. 7.—The demo-

steal a U. S. Senator by the supreme
court, which is evenly divided, politi-
cally, which has dismissed the applica-

New York, Jan. 7th.—Several of the
prominent physicians of this city have
expressed doubts as to the efficacy'of
Dr. Koch’s lymph as a cure for con-
sumption, and hold that the experi-
mental stage has lasted long enough,
and that the percentage cured is less
than in ordinary practice. Many
French physicians share this opinion,
it is said, but the German doctors are
hopeful.

New York, Jan. 7,—The case of Palm
against the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad, to recover a penalty
of $50 for charging excessive rates of
fare upon the special trains of that
road which ran to the Morris Park
racecourse, has been decided by the
general term of the superior court
against the plaintiff. There are over
3,000 similar suits and as this was a test
case the many plaintiff's have received
a serious set back. Many lawyers have
purchased claims of that nature in
order to attempt to compel the road to
pay the penalty.

Hartford, January '7.—-The Fairfield

A CASHIER HYPA’OTIZEI).

Baltimore, Jan. 7.—Much excite-
ment is caused in thiscity on account
of the ingenious and unlawful finan-
cial methods of one H. Webster Crowl
who has succeeded by some strange
influence in obtaining $119,000 of the

TO EXTEND TO SEYJIOL'H.

New Haven. Jan. ’7.—~Col. 'W. H. Ste-
venson was in this city yesterday, and
in reply to a question as to whether the
New Haven 8; Derby Railroad waste
said that
the company was making some vcrye.\"
tensive improvements at that place and
that it was quite probable that their
tracks might be extended across the
Naugatuck river next summer, and that
the Seymour people were very anxious
to have the extension as proposed.
LATEST FROM THE LEGISLJTU :E.

A dispatch from the Connecticut
Associated Press says : A secret cau-
cus of the Republican members elect
was held yesterday afternoon. ‘ At this
caucus Chairman Benton after rehears-
ing the necessity of the republican cau§
cus standing firm against all attempts to
seat Judge Morris, asked all the men-
bers who would pledge themselves to op-
pose the attempt to seat anyone
of the democratic candidates for state
officers unless the democratic senate
will concur with the house in referring
all the disputed ballots bearing ’- on the
gubernatorial question to the courts
for adjudication, to signify that pledge
by rising. All the republican members
were present but two. Every member
pledged themselves.

The seventeen democratic senators
were on the other hand to stand firm,
and there is therefore, no prospect of
any inauguration for a long time to
come whatever may be stated to the
contrary. There was intense and sup-
pressed excitement observable about
the capitol. There was great excite-
ment created about 9:30, by the report
that Senator E. S. Cleveland had just
declared that General Merwin should
never be inaugurated except over his
dead body. Senator Cleveland was
found and said there was no truth in
the report. All that Senator Cleveland

had taken his oath to support- the cons-
titution and would keep his pledge.
The temporary organization of the
House began at 10 o’clock in the usual
form.

Representative Walker of Hartford
asked that the ~name of John E. Leg-
gat of Avon, be added to the roll asthe
successor of John Malone who has died
since election. The chairman of the
house, Mr. Perry, ruled the motion
out of order. The decision of the chair
was oppealed from and the correctness
of the yea and nay vote questioned.
The chair was sustained by a vote of
122 to 113. The resolution was then
filed. A similar resolution concerning
Jacob G. Garrison of Naugatuck was
also rejected, It was claimed by Rep-
resentative McCarthy that the town
was by the U. S. census entitled to two
members.

In the Senate Senator D. M. Read,
of Bridgeport was made temporary
chairman and expressed thanks for the
honor. Senators Fox, Pierce and
Shumway were. made a committee on
rules. Messrs. Fox and Pierce waited
on Secretary of State Walsh and Treas-
urer Henry and demanded the record
of all the votes cast On the state ticket
with the names of the moderators.
These officials refused to deliver them
on the ground that they could only be
delivered to the general assembly when
both houses should be duly perfected
and that the senate was not the general
assembly. Senator Pierce then offered
a resolution that the public welfare re-
quired that legislative business should
be expeditiously performed.

.vO DEA 'l.'H.' IN THREE YEARS.
Remarkable Health of the First Congrega-
tional Sunday School.

That Norwalk is an. exceptionally
healthy place is evident from the fact
that in the Sunday School of the First
Congregational church, where there
has been in the past three years from
250 to 315 scholars, not a single death
has occurred in all that time. It is not
believed that such an exemption from
death can be found anywhere else in
the United States. IA clerical error
occurred in the report of the church
finances Monday, and instead of a
deficit of about $8 there is really a sur-
plus of 9,516.84.

STRANGE CATTLE DISEASE.

Chairman E. H. Hyde of the Com-

been summoned to Monroe to examine
a new and peculiar disease of worms in
the lungs, recently discovered byaNew
York inspector by means of a post mor-
tem examination. It is supposed that
the disease is spread by the calves
coughing them up and depositing them
on the ground by which other cattle ac-
quire them by grazing.

The. Phrenologistfs Error.

“To err is human,” and even phrenolo—
gists are human. One of them visited a
school presided over by a maiden lady a
few days ago. and expressed a desire to
examine the heads of some of the fair pu-
pile and deliver a lecture to the others.

The principal was willng that her pupils
should have the advantage of hearing a
scricntific discourse on skullology, but; her
soul rose up in revolt at the idea of a man
fingering the craniums of the ewe lambs
she was herding. There was a. struggle
between her desire for the intellectual ad-
vancement of the lambs and her apprehen—
sion for their moral welfare. She settled
the matter by telling the professor-of phre~
nology that he could examine the head of
a boy and tell the girls what the knots
thereon indicated.

The professor accepted the amendment,
and the principal sent for one of the job
hit of small boys that were studying in an
adjoining room.

“Here is one of my boys, professor,” said
the principal as the lad entered; “you may
examine him.” '

The professor looked at the youngster a
moment, then said admiringly: "This boy
has a fine face and a noble head. He is the
image of his mother. Is be your oldest,
madame?”

The principal cast a strong glare on the
professor, and replied icily:

“I am unmarried, sir.”

The professor turned red in the face and
began stammering out an excuse, but the
principal relieved him by saying that she
would prefer for him to deliver his lecture
on another day.

And the ewe lambs never smiled till after

Prince Bismarck’s Woolng.

Prince Bismarck began his wooing in a.
rather stern manner. As he always favor-
ed energetic measures, he wrote direct to
the young lady’s parents, with whom he
was not acquainted, and demanded their
daughter in marriage. They were simple
folk, leading a. very quiet life, and they
were rather frightened at the reputation
for high living which the candidate enjoyed.
Their daughter, however, intimated in dis-
creet terms that she did not look upon the
young gentleman with an unfavorable eye,
as there was no doubt the young man’s
parents had a. good reputation.

Consequently the young lady’s parents
invited Bismarck to come and see them.
Every one did his best to give the visitor
9. suitable reception. Fraulein von Putt-
kammer’s parents put on an air of grave
solemnity, and the young lady stood with
her eyes modestly bent upon the ground,
when Bismarck, on alighting, threw his
arms around his sweetheart’s neck and
embraced her vigorously before any one
had time to tell him that his conduct was
hardly proper and correct. The result-was,
however, an immediate betrothal. Prince
Bismarck is very fond of telling this tale,
and he is careful always to finish the story
by this reflection:

“And you have no idea what this little
ladiy has made of me.”—Philadelphia Rec-
ar .

Roused from a. Troubled Sleep.

One of the city hotels occasionally has a
queer lodger. He was formerly an en-
gineer, but is now a. United States boiler
inspector. While an engineer he was
severely scalded on one side, andis unable
to sleep comfortably when lying upon that
part of his body. Whenever he happens to
burn upon the tender place he makes a.
great disturbance in his sleep, but is diffi—
cult to arouse. The other evening was one
of his nights, and he awoke half the guests
in the house. The landlord was just upon
the point of climbing through the transom
to awake him when the man fell out of
bed. When he understood the state of the
case he explained that all that was nwes- _
sary to bring him out right at 'such a time
was to yell, “Turn over, J ohn,” he havinggjl
become so familiar with such a. command"
in his sleep that he invariably obeyed it
unconsciously. The plan has since been
tried and found to work admirably. The
boarders hope the clerk will never lose the

Saved Cram Death by Music.

A London merchant rejoices because he
tried music as a medicine. His boy, 6 years
old, was dying 'with typhoid and was quite
lnsensible, with no appearance of being
able to live through the night. Knowing
his son’s fondness for music. the father
procured a large music box and caused it ~
to play, with the result that the child’s at-
tention was aroused and his life saved by

A New Version of the Departure and Re-
turn of the Wayward Son.

I am reminded of a certain willful boy-—
we have all either known or been just such
a. one—an aggrieved, unappreciated boy,
who grew to dislike his own home very
much, and found his parentsnot at all up
to the standard-of his requirements as a
son and disciplinarian. So he brooded sul-
lenlyover his disheartening surroundings
and limitations: and of course knowing
the outside world would afford him advan-
tages never to be found at home, be lit out
one morning before breakfast, and climb-
ing over the back fence and bitterly shak—
ing his list at the woodpile, he “vanished
himself away” down the turnpike. Yes;
he had at last put into execution his long
muttered threatenings. He had run away
from home!

His parents, at the discovery of his flight, ‘

“THURSDAY, JAN. 8,111,

bore up first rate—especially the father.
Possibly he had been a. much abused boy
himself some time, and divined that even
then his wayward son was disporting him-
self in the delights of the swimming hole
—where in reality he was, and where he
stoically remained throughout the day-—
save at one furnishing interval in which
he sneaked far enough away to, raid a
neighboring orchard. The other boys

went home at dinner time—but he, alas! .

he had no home}

At least he tried to
words, and with very biting irony, but
his lip trembled frequently that long, long
feverish afternoon, and there was getting
to be a knotted, rigid sort of an aching spot
in his threat that seemed to hurt worse
when he didn’t notice it than when he did.
It was a very curious. self-assertive, opin—
ionated sort of a. pain. But he wrestled
with it and swallowed at it until almost
dark; then, with the lost straggling crowd
of his companions, he moved torpidly in
toward home, or rather oozed that way,
with a loathful, hesitating, reluctant, late-
election-returns characteristic, somewhat
heightened perhaps by the inward resolve
of chopping :m urmful of wood as he went
in by way of the kitchen. And he did this,
but the hired girl, who was washing the
supper dishes, made no commentkof any
kind.

He ranged through the pantry with ap-
parent; carelessness, but the cupboard was
locked. He went out. to the porch, where,
at lmt, the pump met him kindly and
shook hands with him, and he drank long
and deep to their more enduring acquaint-

ance. The back yard, in the settling gloom, '

was lonesome, but it looked good, and the
lightning bugs, against the grapevines,
blinked at; him with a kind of sallow glad-
ness over his return. His heart was soft-
ening. He walked thoughtfully to the
rain barrel at the corner of the house and
peered in at the few faint stars reflected
there. Then, moved by somé strange im-
pulse, he washed his feet.

He then went into the house and on
straight into the room where sat his pa-
rents by the evening lamp; The father was
intently reading the paper, the mother in-
tently sewing. Neither looked up at his
entrance, even reproachfully, and neither
spoke. The boy drew a long, quavering
sigh, and sat down on the remote edge of
achair. All was still in the room for a
long time—very still; but everything
seemed so kind and restful and 01d fash-
ioned and homely and kin to him! Only
if somebody would say something-or
come and box him. anyhow-anything.
Why, Lord bless ’em, wasn’t he there,
ready to gratefully accept anything from
them? But that silence! If the clock
would only strike and drown the whisper—
ing, sifting sound of the katydlds outside
in the dewy grass.

From afar off, down some alien street,
he heard the faint halloo of the boys at
their nightly game of “town fox” with no
desire whatever to be a participant in their
sport—no, never again in the world! He
just wanted to stay in of nights-right
there at home—always. He coughed——
hoursely, too—and shift-ed his position—
but no vaguest parental notice or solici-
tude in response—no word-no look. Oh,
it was very still. He couldn’t just remem-
ber any prior silence that. at all approached
it in point of such profundity of dcpthand
density of hush. And he felt that be him-.
self must break it; so, summing every
subtle artifice of seeming nonchulance to
his aid, and gazing pensively at the cat
curled in its wouted corner of the hearth,
at last he spoke out airily and said, “I see
you’ve got the same old can.”—lndi:map-

Changed hiethoxls of Attack.

There is no question that the gun is
master in the gun armor fight. Armor
has been driven from the complete cover-
ing of the broadside to narrow belts and
isolated gun stations, and now it seems
that the water line belt is likely to go.
This latter change is not due so much to
increased gun power as to change in the
composition of the batteries, the introduc-
tion of high explosives and improvements
in ship construction tending to lessen the
danger of-sinking if pierced at the water
line.

It is not proposed to change materially
the total weight of armor carried, but the
weight of waterline belt armor is to be dis-
tributed among the gun stations, loading
tubes, conning tower, engine hatches, pro-
tective deck, and in the form of light side
armor three to six inches thick, to prevent
shells containing high explosives—nitro-
glycerine, melinite and similar compounds
-—from penetrating and exploding between
debks. So far as known at present com<
putatively thin armor is sufficient to cause
all the violent explosives to burst before
penetration.—-New York Herald.

She Got Her Dinner.

Not long ago a woman physician whose
name would bring her honor anywhere,
save—us it appeared—in a hotel, entered
the cafe of a leading hotel curl y in the even-
ing. She was alone, and when she asked
to have dinner served the waiter told her
that she could not be entertained there be-
cause she was unaccompanied by a man.
She looked him full In the eyes, and then
in tones whose authority there was no dis-
obeying she said, “Bring mc my dinner,
and bring it at once!” And he did—New
