HARTFORD, May 4.-The new LIQUOR law
adopted by the recently adjourned Legislature
Is bidding fair to cause much trouble here.
This city is great place for the consumption
OF lager beer. as well as stronger drink. With
4. 800 taxpayers on the grand list there nre not
less than 500 bar rooms drug stores hotels
and other resorts licensed to sell beer and
liquor; and Of these taxpayers, 1t is estimated
that fully 1000 are minors, women. non-resi-
DENTS trustees. corporations. and the like, not
in the habit Of imbibing alcoholic beverages.
while fully 500 more are resolute temperance
men. This leaves about 5000 taxpayers. who
might possibly be drinking men. to 500 places
where drink is sold.
The problem that members OF tho late Legis-
lature undertook to solve was the reduction Of
the number Of liauor dives without making
their purpose 80 plain as to arouse too strong
an opposition. They introduced and succeeded

From the Portland Tr0nscrfpt
The warm light streams along the sea,
lhe wind sings low among the leaves;
The robin In the apple tree
His song OF welcome wcaNes;
The yellow cOws,ips bend ard toss,
Where brooks a'hwart the meadows run,
Aud white clouds slowly drift across
The pathway ot tue sun.
The grass shoots up from hill and plain,
The mHples show crimson hood,
And clearly sounds the sweet refrain
OF song birds in the wood,
The plOu- hmHn turns the fragrant mould,
Ana dreams OF radiant harvest DAYS,
when through the wheat fields waving gold
The south wind slowly strays.
The lowing herds are lingering slow
Among tile tangled swampland, where
The tender rceds their little spears show,
And gnAis spil in the air.
AMI nigh and weird the clarion call
~ crows that watch the growing morn
From some bare trunk, whose Dranche tall
BY storms were rudely torn
Along the mountains purple height
subtle glory shines ANA pales,
Aud clings in waves ~ changeful light,
About the distant sails;
Ant over all the sea and land
Falls downward, from the heavens above,
The rich, glad giving OF a hand
Ruled by undying love

He announced himself as an independent,
but announced himself as being in full ac-
