The Handbill Nuisance.
The reckless scattering of handbills
has become such an intolerable nuisance
as to call for police restriction and an
» enforcement of the law against the evil.
One house on Belden avenue yesterday
had twelve sheets of the East avenue
Harvest Bazaar , dumped on its porch
and yards all about’our city were thus
littered on two days last‘week. :This is
the most annoying as well as wasteful
method of advertising in vogue.

Why He is A Democrat.
Th ose whose business it is to discover
reasons'why a man should vote the
Democratic ticket this fall find hard
picking. We have heard of a' reason
for voting the Democratic ticket, says
the Journal and Courier and it is so
much better than most of the reasons
offered that we think it deserves the
special attention of the promoters, of p
the Democratic campaign. A dark,
vengeful looking little man was asked
the other day how he was going to vote.
“Vote?“ he replied, “how do you 'sup-
pose I’m going to vote? I’m going to
vote the Democratic ticket from Gov—
enor down to Justices of the peace, and
don’t you forget it.” “What are you
_ going to do that for?” said his ques-
tioner. “Haven’t the Democrats done
you harm enough?” “Yes, they have,”
said the dark and vengeful looking
little man, “but the Republicans have
done me more harm, and I’m going to
do my best to pay ’em for it. They
were in power for thirty years, making
all kinds of laws, and they didn’t know
enough to make a law that would 4 pre-
vent a man from making a d-d fool of
himself by voting the Democratic ticket.
‘ I’ve got no use for such a party as that.”
O
Sunday Sermo'ns. .
The Hartford Courant published yes-
terday two notable sermons preached
on Sunday 5 in that city. Rev. Dr.
Walker's, upon Thomas Hooker, touch-
es a subject that‘should interest every
Connecticut citizen and sketches-a man
to whom‘ourobligation and the 9.111%“:
tion of modern civilization is immeas-
urably great. And the greatvsubject is
treated by a master. Dr. Parker’s ser-
mon on the duties of a wife was lis-
tened to with the closest attention by a
large audience, says the Courant. It
was-clear and frank and fearless and as
wise as brilliant. He will give three
other discourses on various phrases of
domestic life, the duties of husbands,
the duties of parents and the duties of
children, each of which the Courant
expects to print.
Rev. Dr. Stone of the Asylum avenue
Baptist church, pronounced a glowing
eulogy upon the christian life of “a no-
ble woman” whose funeral he said he
had attended on Saturday, in company
with Rev. Dr. Taylor, at South Nor-
walk. He had reference, of course, to
that most estimable lady, Mrs. James
H. Knapp, although no name was men-
tioned by the Hartford pastor to his
people, and, by a singular comcidence,
a Norwalk gentleman chanced to have
been present to‘hear the just and elo-
quent tribute paid the departed wife
and mother by Dr. Stone.
,Rev. Robert Colyer in New York
and nearly all the prominent Boston
pastors preached on the life, works and
noble character of Oliver Wendall
Holmes.
Religious Toleratlon.
Sunday evening at New Haven, Pro-
fessor William C. Robinson of the Yale
Law School and Justice Simeon E.
Baldwin of the Connecticut supreme
court. in the United Church (Congre-
gational) discussed “The Mutual Rela-
tions of the Roman Catholic and Pro-
testant Churches. The professor’s.ar~
gument was on the same lines as his
paper read before the Universalist con-
vention at Saratoga a few weeks ago
and covered the topic from the Roman
standpoint. ' . .
Justice Baldwin in replying dwelt
briefly upon the points on which the
churches differed from the time of
Henry VIII. to the present day. In
closing, Justice Baldwin said "Our enc-
mies are its enemies. The great dan-
ger to republican government in Am‘er-
ica now comes from two sources—the
spread of anarchy and the incorpora-
tion into our society of masses of new»
come foreigners unfamiliar with our
institutions and ignorant of the neces-
sary limits of liberty. Against both
these forces the Roman Catholics are
our best allies. It is full time for'all
Christian men to pull together in war-
fare with the bad world. Our' differ-
ences are as nothing compared ,to the
points on which we sgree, and it will
be the fault of the American Protestant
if he does not welcome and solicit the
suppertiof- Catholic churches on every
question of ethics and morality.” '
The Rev. Dr. Lily of St. Mary’s
. occupied a seat in the pulpit.

HobertPih‘kney" Dead. " '
. The New York Sun of to-day, has theg
following report of the death of Hobart?
Pinkney, of this city, mention ' of:
whose finding in. a starving condition
was given in these columns, yesterday :
Hobert Pinkney, the eccentric old
man found ill and starving in an out-
house on the old Albany .pcst, road,
Kingsbridge on Sunday With lots of'
money in his pockets, died at the Ford-
ham Hospital at 11:35 o’clock yester-
day morning. .
His brother Samuel J. Pinkney of
610 Lafayette avenue, Brooklyn, called
at the hospital at 10 A. M. He intro-
duced himself to the doctors and was
taken to his brother’s bedside. The
patient was only half conscious. He
opened his eyes when spoken to by his
brother, but did not appear to recog-
nize him. ,
Samuel Pinkney said his brother’s
mind had seemed to be affected by a
fall by which he had injured his head. -
He preferred wandering about the
country to havinga home with him.
On this last trip he had been away two
years.
There was a small estate left by their
father, the late James W. Pinkney of
Norwalk. Pinkney said, and the will
could not be probated in the absence
to return. ,
It was thought at that time that the
patient was in immediate danger, and-
Mr Samuel Pinkney did not long remain
at the hospital. He asked that his bro-
ther’s effects be left undisturbed until his
recovery and went away. Hobert died
within an hour after his brother left
the hospital. ' * '

’Twas Under the Carpet.
Deputy Sheriff David Fenelon went
to Stratford Saturday afternoon and
. descended upon the Stratford hotel in
a Search for liquor. He was rewarded
by the discovery of 117 bottles of beer
and several demljohns of liquors. The
hotel isconducted by Mrs. C. D. Owen
and is located. on the road to Washing-
ton bridge. For a long time past the
ofiicials of both the state and govern-
ment have been very sure that. Mrs.
Owen was openly violating the law.
On numerous occasions Prosecuting
Liquor Agent Toomey has sent officers
to the hotel to raid the place, but each
search has proved unsuccessful. The
woman continued her alleged unlawful
business in the face of the authorities.
Saturday Mr. Toomey sent Sherifi' Fen-
elon to the place with instructions not
to leave-until he discovered where Mrs.
Owen kept her supply. The sheriff
searched the house from cellar to attic
but could find no signs of any liquors.
When about to give up the search the
sheriff walked across the dining room
and detected a faintsqueaking in the
floor. He immediately-ripped up the
carpet and there to his surprise was a
trap door. On opening it the cupboard
was found to contain the amount of
beer and liquor mentioned above. It
was immediately destroyed. Now that
Mrs. Owen’s hiding place has been dis-
covered, the violationswill undoubted-
ly be less frequent.

HOYT’S OPERA HOUSE.
“Charley’s Aunt” will be on view for
Opera House, Wednesday night, Octo-
ber 17, and it will undoubtedly make a
big hit. Its London, Chicago, New
York and Boston successes are beyond
question. In the first named city it
has been running for nearly two years.
In New York it has passed its one hun-
dred and fiftieth performance, while in
Chicago and Boston it made the hits of
the seas0n. Its main success depends
upon the eccentricity of its central fig-
ure, 9. young fellow, who for‘a Joke,
. disguises himself as an eccentric Widow
worth several millions. Once in the
widow’s weeds, he finds himself unable
to .get rid of them for nearly three
hours. The complications brought about
by this state of things can be imagined.

Lew Dockstader and his big minstrel
company will be at Hoyt’s Opera House,

An Inllmatlon That the (an: of Russia
Has Bren Poisoned by the Nlhlllctl.
meaaroms. Oz-t. 1 6.—Has the czar of
all the Russlcs been skilfully poisoned
and slowly put to death by scientific means
in the hands of nihilists?
A prominent physician on] German
traveler now in Minneapolis has just re-
ceived secret dispatches from St. Peters-
burg which thrown strongllght on the
crisis in EurOpehn politics caused by the
impending death of the czar. These dis-
patchcscame written in sympathetic ink
“on an apparently blank piece of paper.
The application of heat brought out some
strange stcuographic char ~eters,whlch the
doctor readily translated. He showed the
dispatch to a reporter tod and remarked
that An order to‘seud so i things from
St. Petersburg it wos neceielry to doubly
protect them by the use of sympathetic ink
and a secret code.
A most sensational matter in the dis—
patch is i-bollntim-ition that the czar’s ill-
ness had not been caused' by natural
means. The doctor translated the dispatch
as folloWs: '
“The czar is lying at the point of death.
The excitement of the highest circles
of Russia. is simply tremendous. It is
understood in a wide circle in Russia
that the ‘czar's' sickness was brought
about by scientific means, and that his
death will not be a natural one.
“It is on account of this that the jour-
nals contradict the fact of the czar's sick-
ness. There is a party that wants to set
the czarowitz on the throne; The" czaro-
Witz is of a. cranky, melancholy nature
and is inclined to institute the most radi-
cal reforms throughout Russia and has
already made plans for such action. He
is very much hated by the clergy. The
patriarch of Blossom who is at the ,head
of the Greek, church, has traveled about
with theozar in order-to persuade him to
put his second son on the throne instead
of the czarowitz.j" ' ' '

The liIen Fired at Each Other Until One

PORTLAND, On. Oct. ion—In Coos coun-
ty Ed Donovan and John Vineyard, neigh-
boring ranchers, _en,gnged,in a duel. that
ended in Vincyard’s: death. The news
was brought into Lake by Donovan him-
» self, who came into town alone and gave
himself up. Donovan’s statement, sub‘.
stantially corroborated by witnesses, in
substance is as follows: Vineyard ,and
Donovan quarreledover some farm work,
the former accusing Donovan of not re-
turning some borrowed harness and im-
plements. SuddenlyVlneyard became en—
raged, saying: “You’re a liar. I’ll fix
you.” And with that‘he drew a revolver.
Donovan. who was unarmed, hardly
realized what was transplrlng until he
saw the pistol in Vineyard’s hand. He
then jumped for a rifle owned by .. man
named Garrett, which was lying up against
the stack six or eight feet from where
Donovan was standing. They were about
20 or 30 feet apart, and as Donovan sprang-
for the rifle Vineyard fired, but missed
his mark and jumped behind Garrett.
stant the two men commenced firing and
started toward each other. Donovan says
that he has no idea how many shots were
fired. Finally Vineyard fell to the ground
with a bullet through his heart, and Dono-
van escaped without injury.

BURGLAR’S TWO SIDE?) LIFE.
Alleged Deception Practice-d on His “fit-f
and-Son In New York City.
BOSTON, Oct. 16.-—Invcstlgatlon by do—
tectives has brought to light the fact that
William Barrett. now locked up in the
Qumbrldge jail charged with the murder '
of James Farrar, a constable of Lincoln,
Mesa, last May, led a double' life. In
New York city be rented flne apartments
and had a wife and child, towbom he rep-
resented that he was a dealer in driving
horses, while the evidence secured by the
police shows that «.he was also a profes-‘
sional burglar. He traveled about in New
England, ostensibly engaged in horse
trading. On the night of May 17last a
burglar entered the house of James Farrar
in Lincoln. Farrar was awakened, and
with his brother and several neighbors
pursued the burglar. After following the
«prints of the thief’s rubber bottomed boots
for some hours they came across Barrett
in the woods near Cherry Brook and 'at-
tempted to arrest him. . '
' In‘the struggle which followed Barrett
shot and killed James Fa'rrar. , He Was
captured, however, and on his person was
'found a complete kit of burglar’s tools.
Property‘whlch had been stolen from sev-
eral houses in the vicinity 'a short;- time
before was also in his possession. 'It is
now known that Barrett’s real name is
William Bassett, and the police claim that
he has been a professional burglar for
seine time. When his wife discovered the
truth recently, she left New York and went
to Canada with her son.

mittee for the lunatic. While Warner
was agreed on by Mrs. Byers and A. M.
Byers, the lunatic’s brother, it is really a
victory for Mrs. Byers. '
