The Way We Done.
The notorious George Booth was ar-
rested on Monday by Constable Hunt,
charged with selling liquor without 'a
.license. He was brought before Jus-
tice L. D. Keeler, at South Norwalk,
and after pleading guilty, was fined the
enormous sum of $15 and costs.
The Statutes require that for the first
offense a fine of not more than $50 be
imposed; for the second offense a fine
of S50 shall be imposed and a jail sen-
ence of thirty days; for the third and
every subSEquent offense the accused
shall be fined $100 and imprisoned for
sixty days.
Annie Mead, Bootb’s paramour, was
arrested on a similar charge on June
1st last, at the resort kept by her. in
East Norwalk. Constable Ireland made
the arrest on a warrant sworn out by
' Prosecuting Liquor Agent Honnecker.
She was taken before this same Justice
Keeler, and notwithstanding she was
an Old offender, was allowed to go on
the payment of a paltry fine.
At the time George and Annie were
triedin Bridgeport and both sent to jail,
Annie swore on thestand that she ran
the house and employed Booth to do
the chores.
These facts and the reputation of
both of these disgusting criminals are
well known to Honnecker, if not he
could easily have obtained their record.
With all of these facts known it,
would seem as though Booth had been
arrested on the charge of illegal liquor

Only TwooLeft.
In those “good old times,” to which
pessimists refer when they speak of
“the earlier and better days of the
Republic,” our honored fathers were
wont to indulge in political excitement
with greater frequency and not less
energy, than is deemed advisable in
our day. When the Union was very
young annual elections were the rule,
and although there were no railroads,
no telegraph lines, and few newspapers,
facilities for stirring up the people were
found. The “spellbinder” was there,
but was not called by that name; the
cimpaign lie was “nailed” then as
niisily as now, and rum was a much
mire influential political factor than it
has been in more recent times.
But the great cost of annual elections
a id annual seesions ofLegislatures, not
to mention the evils of undue excite-
ment in politici [ind incessant tinkering
of the laws, soon led to the adoption of
biennial in lieu of annual elections. In
1830, when we had twenty—four States,
only nine of them held elections an-
nually; these were the six New England
States, and New Jersey, Maryland, and
North Carolina. Since that date all but
two of the ninebave fallen outof the pro-
cession, and Massachusetts and Rhode
Island are now the only members of
the Union family that adhere to the
old custom of holding an election every
year.

a. pending proposition for biennial
But Rhodc Island is preparing
elections, and the press t_ Legislature
of Massachusetts had’vot _ r" ' ' r
orably actld on by the next Legislature
before it can go to the people; and
even then its adoption is doubtful.
The Bay State is peculiar in some rc-
spects. It clings to old customs with
great tenacity. It likes thc'excitement
ofacampaign, and it feels uncomfor-
table when the “general court” is not
under the gilded dome. We would not
be surprised if that state should decide
to “go it alone” on this quest-ion.

crowded Monday afternoon, ‘f at the
h )ur set forthe'h'earing of the cases of
Mr. and Mrs. George W. Booth and
Ida Davis-Hoyt, who are charged“ with
keeping a house of ill fame on the West
Ricks road, and Fred Hart, Harry
Gage and Charles Gregory, who are
charged with frequenting the same.
Justice Rose presided, Attorney Lock-
wood appeared for the prosecution and
Attorney Walsh, for the defense.
Before the prisoners were put to plea,
Attorney Walsh entered a plea of
abatement, claiming that the arrests
were irregular and asking for the dis-
charge of the prisOners.
The plea was argued by both attor-
neys, with the result that it was dis-
allowed. The attorney for the defense
then filed his notice of an appeal from
the decision and askedthat such ap-
peal be made a part of the returns to
the Common Pleas court.
Attorney Lockwood then. asked that
the prisoners be put to plea, and it was
so ordered by the court. On the ad-
vice of Attorney Walsh, they refused
to plead, and at the request of Attorney
Lockwood a plea of not guilty was en-
tered in the case of each of the prison-
ers, ,
Attorney Lockwood stated that he
was not ready to go on with a trial of
the cases and asked for an adjournment
until this afternoon at two o’clock,
which request was granted. Booth and
the women were placed under $150
bonds, and the others under $100 each
for their appearance for trial this after-
noon.
Y. P. S. C. 13- Take Action.
At a meeting of the Y. P. S. C. E.
of the Congregational church, South
Norwalk, held at the home of Miss Liz-
zie Tolles on Fairfield avenue, last eve-
ning, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted.
WHEREAS, A citizen of South Nor—
walk, at a recent date, was arrested for
violation of certain liquor laws, and .
WHEREAS, the trial of the citizen in
question proved to be a farce, either a
gross injustice being done, or the city
and town betrayed by fliejustice who
tried the case and the Prosecuting
Liquor Agent, therefore, be it .
RESOLVED, That- we, together With
all other citizens who believe in justice,
law and order, deeply deplore the oc-
curence. and demand that the proper
authorities cause an investigation to be
held. "
RESOLVED, That the secretary send
a copy of the resolution to each of our

Nice Surgical Operation.
Dr. C. N. Haskell, of Bridgeport,
yeitsrday removed eight square inches
of scar tissues from the face and neck
of Frank Steele, the reporter of the
Waterbury Herald, who was made the
object of a vitrol thrower-’5 attack some
months since. The removal of the scar
tissue will make possible a new growth
and prevent Mr. Steele’s mouth being
drawn out of shape by the contracting
muscles, and his head to one side. It
is possible that the exposed surface may
not heal properly. In that case graft-
ing will have to be resorted to. The
patient was placed under the influence
of an anaesthetic. The opention took
nearly two hours.
The Elephant Got Mad.
Robert Ayers, a keeper at the Bar-
num & Bailey circus, in 'Madison
Square garden, had a narrow escape
from death yesterday. While sweeping
out the stable of Till", the big elephant,
the broom struck against one of the
animal’s feet and angered him. Tiff
reached around with his trunk, seized
Ayers and drew him up between his
tusks. The keeper seized the elephant
and cried for assistance. The other
keepers rushed to his aid and succeeded
in forcing the elephant to drop him.
Ayers was unconscious and was re—
moved to the hospital. His right leg
was fractured, audit is thought he is
internally injured.
Mabel Eloped.
Mabel Wellington, the 16—year old
danghter of Abram Wellington, of
Bridgeport, eloped last Tuesday night
with Harry Kelly, 8. Black Rock insur—
ance agent. The couple were married
in New York and were brought home
by Mabel’s parents, with the assistance
of the Bridgeport police. Mr. and Mrs.
Wellington were very angry With Kelly
for enticing their daughter from home-
and refused to forgiVe them. Mabel

_ .t‘ their excellent company,
p closed a ' oodly audience at the" Park
City theatre last evening. The play
was “Friend Fritz,” the same piece in
which they appeared here last season,
and it was just as enjoyable and its mu-
sic just as satisfying as before. Marion
shows but faint traces of her serious ill-
ness of last summer and her voice is, if
anything deeper and sweeter than it
ever was. She is the same handsome
woman and her songs last evening awa-
kened much of the old—time enthusiasm.
Jack Mason in the role of Fritz was the
picture of a happy batchelor and al-
though suffering with a heavy cold, did
his lines full justice. The cast was
practically the same as last year and
was, of course just as capable and effi-
cient and the whole production scenery,
cast and music up to the standard of the
best of the year.

covered to be on fire late Monday after-
