Law and Order League Men. Strike Milford. Liquor Sellers Arrested and Stock Carted Away. 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 Meadow’s End and scattered them- selves around among the shore resorts which were just opening for business. The deputies were armed with war- rants. The places visited were run by O’Rourke & Larkin, Emily and Charles Gettman, E. L. Tinkham, John Eckler, Kay & Deherty, Mrs. C. L. Nettleton, John Gossman and Thomas Broderick.

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. va THE LADIES.

" 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.

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 Magazine.

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?"

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 Dim n “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 ° he comes to me an’ he says, ‘Maggie,’ he says. ‘the poor doman nlver had no- body to put on mournln' for her, an’ I dunno that she's been treated right,’ he says. ‘Who?’ says 1. ‘Me first wife,’ 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.

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 when his relationship to the murderer transpired. Madame Carnot, like a no- ble woman, saw the hardness of the case, and at once promised to keep him in work as long as he lives-9 He is now in Paris—Philadelphia.

He has fifty of them, and they have attendants of their own, with special rooms for meals. When the Shah travels, they go with him, carried by- men on horseback. The late Czar of Russia was very fond of the feline tribe. When visiting the King of Den- mark on'one occasion, he alarmed the servants by rushing out very early in the morning to the gardens. From the window of his sleeping room, he had seen a big dog attack his favorite glack cat, and without staying to com- plete his toilet, he had run to her res- cue. The famous royal ent of 819.111 is a large, white, short-haired variety, with black face and ‘a. peculiar forma- tion of ear.
