i I l ,3 ‘l tots.” On a Spree. On Wednesday evening. a man and two women entered Adams’ saloon, on Wall street, and called for drinks. After having several, the man accused the proprietOr of stealing 45 cents from one of the women. Quite a lively time followed. this charge, and the party was finally ejected from the place and a po- liceman sent for. Officer Howard re- sponded, but the trio had started down West avenue in the direction of South N orwalk. The officer followed and caught up with the party near Dr. Bald- win’s residence, and arrested the man. The woman at this point interfered and the officer had considerable difficulty in gettin his prisoner to the. lock-up. One of t e women accompanied the man, but the other woman started for South Norwalk. Later in the evening the prisoner was before Justice Cool- idge, charged with breach of the peace. He gave his name as Francis McKeon, and said he was a professor at Whit- lock’s school, Wilton, and the woman was his wife, employed as waiter at the same place. McKeon, who is a man probably 70 years of ago. was consid- erably “under the influence” while in court, and when he made his explana- tion to “His Worship,” as he addressed Justice Coolidge, and denied all the charges against him, he presented an appearance that was so much like Pat Rooney, the Irish comedian, that an inexperienced person could not tell the difference, and his flow of oratory stag- gered the court and spectators alike. The Judge thou ht that McKeon was guilty and fined im 31 and costs, which he paid. While the party were going down West avenue the woman fell over some obstructions in front of the new club house building, and sprained her thumb. Officer Howard took her to Dr. Baldwin’s office and the doctor at- tended to the injured member. The man and woman were staggering around town after the trial until 10.32, when they took the train for Wilton. Next morning Principal Whitlock was down from Wilton, looking for the other woman. He said that McKeon and his Wife came home some time dur- ing the night, but the second woman, who is also a waiter at the school, had not turned up. AV VA 7‘ Something New. _Druggist Hale has an invoice of cu- rious and unique “comforters,” for special use at our Opera House, so that thirsty gentlemen will not hereafter be forced to clamber over ladies and chil- dren in their hurried efforts to get out between the acts, and go across the street to see a man. Manager Adams says they are just the thing and will fill along felt want. The contrivance consists of a pear shaped, fiatish sort of a glass bottle, holding about a quart, made to slip into a gent’s inside coat pocket. To this is attached a small fleXible tube reaching to the mouth, and on the end ofit is a cute little black rubber mouth piece. through which the. liquid refreshment may e quietly drawn and enjoyed, without at- tracting theattention of even the fel- low’s best girl. This simple yet ingen- ious contrivance, not only saves shoe leather and an immense wear and tear of the nervous forces on the part of the thirsty man struggling to sit out a play Without disturbing everyone in the seat with him, if not in the whole house, but physicians and veterinarian surgeons say it, is the least injurious way that any needed tipple can be in- troduced into the male biped system. The Injunction Continued. Judge Curtis, of Stamford, who re- cently heard the motion for a dissolu- tion of the injunction prayed out by Zalmon Comstock, of Norwalk, against Wm. H. Olmstead, also of that place, in the Court of Common Pleas, has rendered a decision continuing the in- junction. The defendant some time ago secured Judgment against Zalmon Comstock and wife by default and then enjomed Mr. Olmstead from levying execution on this judgment, which was given by a justice. ' _Justice Curtis continues the injunc- tion _on the condition that the plaintiffs furnish a bond, of double the amount of the first Judgment, as security in case Olmstead again is given judgment against them.— ridgeport Standard. Samuel F. Jones Dead. Samuel F. Jones, for many years the acknowledged leading criminal lawyer of the Connecticut Bar died Monday in Hartford, after an illness of nearly a month. He was a native of Marlbor- ou h, Conn., studied law in the oflice of he late Goyernor Hubbard, and for more than thirty years Was in active practice. He was eagerly sought by New York criminals when they got in- to trouble in Connecticut. He appear- ed for_ the defence in two famous mur- der trials at New Haven, defending the Malley boys in the Jennie Cramer case and Parson Hayden in the Mary Stan- nard ease,and he averted convictions‘iin bothmstances. He was prominent in politics, too, and represented Hartford in the Legislature in 1878 and 1874. He was 64 years old. _ _..._. ->__.-.\._ _. Obituary. The public sympathy will surely go out in large measure to the stricken household of Principal H. B. Wigham, whose bright little son HORACE S., af- ter weary days and nights of suffering in a struggle for life with dread diph: theme, expired as his home, yesterday morning. in the 6th year of his age. The little sufferer was a favorite with all who knew him, bright in intellect and ,of Winning ways, and his death falls upon the afflicted parents with crushing weidht. May He who tempereth the Winds to the shorn lamb, abundantly comfort and sustain the bleeding hearts that mourn "the little boy that died. State Bonds to be Called in. There are only $300,000 of state bonds outstanding that can be paid prior to maturity, same 10 years hence. Of this sum, State Treasurer Henry, in con- sultation with Governor Bulkeley, has decided to call in and pay off, on the first of January next, the sum of $100,000. - ~———--——-<->- My Head Was Fairly Rotten, And how much I suffered it is hard to describe.

Who Cares 7 Rowell & 00., publishers of a news paper directory in New York, complain and growl because, as they claim, the newspaper publishers do not furnish ex- act figures of circulation. The news- paper publishers are not the fools Bow- -ell & Cc. would have them be, and there is no more reason why the pub- lishers of newspapers should give away their own private affairs, than should Rowell & Co. give away. the exact amount of their bank depos1t. The ad- vertisers for Bowel] & Co. do not know 'for a certainty that the said company can pay their bills, and when the latter assumeto say nineteen out of twenty newspaper publishers are liars, they as- sume a good deal.

Watson. ular army says this concerning Camp, Watson : “General Watson has acquit- ted himself to the satisfaction of the brigade throughout. He has deserved- ly won the esteem, respect and regard of every man in the brigade from ‘high private’ up. The oflicers to a man are loyal to him and it is no false praise to say that he is in command of the finest brigade encampment the Connecticut National Guard ever had. "3 Grand Concert.

An interesting character in Ameri- can history is the Rev. Mason L. Weems, pastor of Pohick Church, and biographer of George Washington. He was something of a. romancc‘r, and to his powers of invention we owe some very interesting stories of the childhood of the Father of the Coun- try. The most familiar and cele- brated of these anecdotes is the one which tells how little George hacked his father’s favorite cherry tree, and when taken to task about it nobly replied: “I can’t tell a lie, pa; you know I can’t tell a lie. I did cut it with my hatchet.” At one time MLWeems was engaged as a colporteur. An incident which occurred during this time shows that he had a good deal of human nature and, despite his cldth, exhibited on occasion something of the old Adam. It seems that one of his customers, to whom he had sold a Bible, demanded a receipt for the money paid for acopy of this Holy Writ. Mr. Weems con- strued this demand as an insult. He gavethe receipt, but in so doing he contrived to avenge his wounded feelings. The event occurred ihthe season of the summer solstice, and the receipt road as follows: “Received, on the longest day of the your, from the most particular man in the world, the smallest p033!- ble price for the best book ever pub- llshed.”—Washington Post. The Python Ind the Boy. A story of unusual veracity and dar- ing on the art of a pythoii has reached us from uka, says the Sawal (Bor- neo) News. At J udan, a village six miles from Muka, a man and his son, aged from ten to twelve years, were sleeping in their house, inside 3 mos- quito curtain. They were on the floor near the wall. In the middle of the night the father was awakened by his son calling out. The lamp Was out and the father passed his hand over his son, but found nothing amiis, so he turned over and went to sleep again, thinking the boy Was dream- i . nShortly afterward the child again called out, sayin that a caocodile was taking him. T is time the father, thoroughly aroused, felt again and found that a snake had closed his jaws on the boy’s head. He then pried open the reptile’s mouth and released the head of his son, but the beast drew the whole of his body in the house and encircled the body of the father. He was rescued b the neighbors, who were attracted y the cries for help at the terrified cou la. The snake when killed was foun to be about fifteen feet long. The head and forehead of the boy are encircled with punctured wounds produced by the python’s teeth. A luster-k Kettle. A lady residing at Tribes Kill, K. Y., is in possession of a massive cop- per teakettle which dates back to the days of the revolution and has an. interesting history. It then belonged to Adam Fonda, whose father Was tomahawkad during Sir J ohm's raid, in 1780, hishouse being burns! at the same time. Adam Bandit lived on the banks of the Condo“. and his house was also burned. One of the the Tories who was engagedh this vandalism saw in this house a teakettle which was too goo'dto be do- stroyed, and he took it and‘fllled it with butter which had just been churned. He then hid- it under the Cayadutta Bridge, expecting to return that way, but he never came back for it, and not long afterward some children playing under the bridge discovered it. This kettle was the was ,only artb ole saved from the house.-"—Good Housekeeping. A Boot and Shoe Mm.
