One of the biggest liquor raids of

recent years in the state was made on

several resorts at Meadow’s End by
Law and Order League officers Sun-
day morning. Eight places were
visited and in every one seizures were
made. In all 14 persons were arrested.
Five two-horse teams were used to
carry away the liquors, including 2,000
bottles of beer, 40 kegs of beer and
enough spirits, to fill an ordinary cel-
lar.

About 3 a. 111. Sunday Agent McLa1r
left New Haven with a raiding party of
17 men in two >’buses. They reached

rants. The places visited were run by

Gettman, E. L. Tinkham, John Eckler,

“My Friend From India.”

“My FriendoF'rom India”as original-
ly produced at the Bijou Theatre, New
York with Walter Perkins and Smythe
and Rice’s Comedians, will engage
the attention of lovers of pure comedy
at Hoyt's Theatre to-night. The fer-
tile brain of H. A. Du Souchet is re-
sponsible for this gem of comedy, which
is founded on the unusual theme of
theosophy and being interpreted ,by
the excellent company which W111
present it here, no doubt is left that an
evening of much more than usual
enjoyment will be afforded. This is
the third year, and it finds this play
at‘ the flood tide/of success. There is
no need to dwell on the excellence of
Walter Perkin’s performance of A.
Keene Shaver, the innocent cause of
all the trouble. '

 

 

“Looking For Trouble.”

There are few eccentric comedians
who have earned a more deserving
place in public esteem than Joe Ott,
therefore, his appearance in a new
play is always looked to with more
than ordinary interest. Mr. Ott has
secured in “Looking for Trouble” a
farce comedy such as glve him special
opportunities for the display of those
quaint methods which "have made his
work stand alone.

“Looking for Trouble” will be the
bill at Hoy’t s TheatI e to-m morr ow night
and it is safe to count on a cordial re-
ception for Mr. Ott and his remarkably
well balanced company.

School for Scandal.

At the Park City theatre, Bridge-
port, on Thursday evening, September
15, the Triple Star alliance, Louis
James, Katherine Kidder and Frederic
Warde will be seen in “The school for
Scandal.”

It is the determination ' and the be-
lief of Messrs. VVagenhals and Kemper
that, in gathering their present stellar
company and arranging their expen-
sive production; they have made a re-
vival 0E “The School for Scandal,”
which will rank conspicuously in the
future antiquarians' leminiscences of
great casts, and at the same time for-
nish the play-goers of 1.6: day with a
memorable opportunity toigbecome ac-
quainted or to renew acquaintance
with this masterpieceunder‘i the most

 

auspicious and inspiring cir-crmstances.

FELL FRIIM ABBIBBE

“Pal” Kelly Enlilles llim
self; lo and Receives a
liide in lhc Ambulance.

Reported as Having Suffered no SerIous

Damage.

“Pat” Kelly, who lives on Pine
street, South Norwalk, is in no small
measure responsible for the publication
of an accident that happened in South
N orwalk yesterday afternoon.

A pa 'ty who lives 011 Marshall street;
South Norwalk had their attention
drawn to the street by a moaning
sound, and looking out of the door she
discovered a man lying prone» on his
back in the street, almost in front of
her domicile.

She gave an alarm and a crowd
quickly congregated, and the man was
recognized as being Patrick Kelly who
lives on Pine street, but a block away.

Dr. Bean was summoned and he order-
ed the ambulance and the patient was
taken to the hospital where, it was
found that the man had inot suffered
dangerous injury.

It seems that he had attempted to
cross the trestle under circumstances
that would not warrant the venture,
and had made a misstcp and landed in
the street some twenty} feet below,
striking squarely on his.back which
as a matter of course is very sore to-
day._ There were some other contu-
sions on his head and body of minor
import.

He is now at the hospital but will
probably be discharged in a short time,
unless that it possibly proves that be
has received internal injuries.

One of the prettiest waists worn this
summer is a pleated rose pink shot taf.

black velvet extend across the front,
while a double bow finishes the joining
of the bolero caught in the center with
a dull gold buckle.

The sleeves are slightly mousque-

Salutes on the Sea.

There is no naval ceremony more
rigidly observed than the firing of ea-
lutes. It is almost a matter of relig-
ion with the sea dogs to see that every
one entitled to a. salute gets it, and
in its proper manner, too. Whenever
the president is on a warship all other
ships of the fleet, and naval stations
which they pass, fire a. salute of twen— ~
ty-one guns. When a visiting ofllcer
boards a. ship, he is received by side
boys. They stand on each side of the
gangway, every hand going up in a.
salute as the visitor passes. Every
man on a. warship, from admiral to ap-
prentice boy, salutes the Stars and

Stripes on board the vessel, which sac

lute is returned by the officer of the
deck. Boat salutes are given by tossing

MEXICO AND THE. " llLlPF‘INE

The Latter Territory “I: 3 Long a Depend-
ency of the; l rmel’.

From the foundation of Manila in
1571, up to the year 1519,t the colony of
the Philippine islands was a depend-
cy of Mexico. During that long period
there was absolutely no direct inter-
course between the mother country and
her far eastern colony. Everybody and
everything destined for the Philippines
passed through Mexico until the Amer~~
ican colony threw off the Spanish yoke.
The'nceforth,’for fifty-one years, com-
munication ' with Spain was via the
Cape of Good Hope. The commercial
history of the Philippines would be :00
long to relate here in extenso; suf—
fice it to say that it. is a series of strug-
gles between the colonists, who sought
liberty to trade freely with Mexico and
China, and the Spanish king and his
councillbrs and the trading community

‘ In Spain, w-ho persistent-1y determined

to curtail that freedom as much as
possible. The policy of .the Spanish
merchant class was to hold Mexico as
their exclusive market. They opposed
Philippine traffic with China. because

this necessitated silver dollars, which

they knew must come from Mexico sur-
reptitiously, if the islanders were not-
open'ly permitted to give goods in ex-
change. The famous galleons, which
were so frequently interrupted and

v seized by British privateers £10m the

days of our Queen Elizabeth onward,
formed the only connection between
Mexico (Acapulco) and Manila—Con-

Pickles and an Emergency.

The talk turned the other day in an
eastern Maine town on good luck com-
ing out of apparent misfortune, and as
an illustration a gentleman told how
a. Waldo county man's house caught
fire in a time of great drought when
the well was dry and there was no
water within half a. mile. The woman
of the house discovered it burning at a
lively rate on the dry roof. Help was
as scarce as water. She began wring-
ing Iher hands and saying over and
over to herself “Here's a. pretty pickle!
'A pretty pickle!"

“Pickle, Pickle," the word uncon-
sclously repeated itself, and then she
thought of a whole barrel full of-pork

pickle in the cellar, saved for boiling

over. She darted down the cellarway
and soon began deluglng the roof with
the brine. Everyone who has tried it
knows what a complete flre extinguish.
er salt water is. The effect was mags
lcal, land before the supply of “pickle"
was exhausted she had the fire out and

‘ the home saved. She says she never

would have thought of it if that word
“pickle" had not kept running in her
mind—Lewis'ton (Me.) Journal.

 

A Set of Ware That Cost 865,630.
At the Saveton sale in London, a few
years ago, a. service of old Sevres ware

was sold for $5,000. The g'enuinen'ess'of'

this set .was proved by_ certificates is-
sued to the owners by the French gov-
ernment. But by far the most valuable

service turned out at the Sevres p0:-

tery (in 1778) was made for the Czarina
Catherine II. of Russia, and consisted
of 745 pieces, which cost $65,630.

The Sevres ware, old or modern, is
usually light in color, and daintll;r dec-
orated with flowers or figure subjects
tastefully arranged. The porcelain it-
self. although of good texture, is infe-
rior to that of the English potteriee.
Decorated pieces generally bear picto-
rlal panels on white ground, surround-
ed by franfes of gilt scrollwork. These,
as well as the tableware, are quite in
keeping with the national character.
Although the Sevres works are still in
operation, they are kept busy in copy-

.ing ancient Chinese and Japanese mod-

els, instead of increasing their repu-
tation in-the manufacture of the wares
which made them 'famous.——Godey’s

Spurgeon’s Little Strategy.

While Spurgeon was still a boy
preacher, he was warned about a cer-
tain Virago, and told that she intended
to give him a. tongue lashing. “All
right," he replied, “but that’s a. game
at which two can play.” Not long af-
ter, as he passed her gate. one morning,
she assaulted him with a flood of bil-
lingsgate. He smiled and said: “Yes,
thank you, I am quite well; I hope you
are the same.” Then came another
burst of vituperation, pitched in a still
higher key, to which he replied, still
smiling: “Yes, it does look rather as
if it is going to rain; I think I had
better be going on.” “Bless the man,"
she exclaimed, “he's as. deaf as a. post;
what’s the use of storming at him?"
And so her ravings ceased and were
never again attempted—New York Tri-
bune.

The SecunleH‘a- Undertook the Oblig‘\

He had asked her to be “his‘n.” and
she had made up her mind that she
had “worked out” long enough, any
way. So she accepted him. She was
perfectly satisfied with her place, but
she wanted to have a house of her own. »
So they were married. _ T

It wasn’t long afterward \ that she
came back to see her former mistress
about something, and the latter noticed
that she was wearing mourning. Of
course, she was sorry for her, and‘was
rather surprised that she made no men-
tion 0 fher bereavement. It is indeed
a grievous thing when a. honey moon is
cut short.

Finally the former mistress brought
up the subject herself.

“You are in mourning, Maggie, ” she
suggested.

“Yes " replied. Maggie, complacently,
and with no Show of feeling at all, “I
thought it was the least I could do fer

“It is showing no more than proper
respect, of course. I am very sorry. It
-must have been a. great shock. ”

“Great shock!" exclaimed Maggie, in
surprise. Then, as she . grasped the
idea, she went on, “Oh, he ain't dead,”
with the accent on “he." I

“You haven' t lost your husband?"

Maggie shook her head.

“Then why are you in such deepj
mourning?”

“Just to please the poor lad ” an-
swered Maggie. “You see, it’s thisway, "
she went on, when she had decided to

says he. ‘She was all alone in the
world, excepti'n' fer me.’ he says. ‘She
had no wlmen folks to wear mournln'
fer her.’ An’ so I says to 'him, ‘I’ll do
it fer the poor woman,’ I says. An’ here
I am."

And the best of it is that the story
is absolutely true.

the way of rents and interest. One of
the few fine-looking women you find

‘Be youlns lthe editor?’

"Upon being informed that I enjoyed
that distinction, she looked me over as
though greatly disappointed and then
told a. long story of petty domestic dif-
ficulties that had led to the disappear-
ance of her WME two weeks
Now she wanted to put in a
nice advertisement to have him at
home. How much would I charge her?

“ “Two dollars an inch,’ I answered. '

ty nearly an hour. At length she tore
the paper into shredeand was deliber-
ately walking out of the office when I
asked her if she thought the charge too

Madame Carnot’s Generosity.

A pretty story is told of the sweet
.mercy of a deeply injured woman.
Madame Carnot has lived in seclusion
ever since the death of her ill—fated
husband, devoting herself almost en-
tirely to her children and grandchil-

' dren, finding in them the solace for

those sorrows which have embittered
her life. Recently the brother of her
husband’s~murderer ventured to write
to the unfortunate widow. He laid
his case before her. After the assas-
sination of the President by his broth-
er, he found it impossible to obtain
employment in France, owing to a not
altogether unnatural feeling against
the family. In desperation, ‘he went to
Spain, where he succeeded in procuring
a. place as porter to one of the monas-
teries, but he was cast adrift again
