Free Choice to Vote as One Pleases-
 An Employer vindAcated.

A statement having appeared in the Morn ing News that George H. Chrisman was dis charped from Marlin's gun shop for voting for Cleveland, Mir. Chrisman denies the same and acquits his employer from the accusa- tion. Anyone who knows MT. Marlin and his reputation as an employer would not en- certain such yarn for moment. MT. Chrisman wishes the appended statement published in justice to himself and MT. Mar lin; and also says that he never circulated any such story and is not in any way responsi- ble for it's getting afioat, and that it probably emanated from some busybody.
 NEW HAVEN, CONN.,, Nov. 18th, 1884.
 Dear Sir-Having read in the columns of this mornings issue of the News a statement which doesnot reflect much credit on me, either as work man or a man of principle, desire to ask your indulgence by allowing me small space in your journal to honorably acquit myself of the malignity intended to be heaped upon me by whomsoever published said statements thus appearing in the public press.
 : My lips have been sealed thus far regard ing the whole affair, statements appearing in the public press to the contrary notwlth- standing. And the vile miscreant who has been making capital for himself or public press at my expense without my knowledge or consent manifests in himself the magnani- rnity of a guerilla. do not desire any such notoriety as being political martyr, neither can I ascribe any political significance to my discharge. MT. Marlin telling me if not en- gagged when business improved to apply and I would be again em- plovsd. Those vile statements must have emanated from some individual whose mind is impregnated with malice towards me, and that malice is possessed of fangs more deadly than those of the much dreaded scorpion.
 have not, am not and shall not be can didate for the police force, therefore no competitor need try and prejudice my em- blower nor the public against me; neither am I candidate for chairman of the ward committee, and if any of my former shop mates feel jealously towards me on that account they are very much mistaken. Even if I were should expect no man would so far degrade himself as to take ad- vantage of the present occurrence and fling daggers from such motives in order to idol ize himself Having no reason to blame MT. Marlin nor desire for notoriety, am through on this subject.
 Respectfully,

insensible and 8 shallow opening made. By
 introducing the an@sthetic and repeating the
 process the effect may be continued to the
 deeper tissues. The insensibility is not ab-
 solute. The patient feels the operation as he
 would feel anything laid on his hand or arm,
 but the sense of pain is almost wholly de
 which is said by the patient to be not worth
 mentioning.
 It is unnecessary to repeat that the effect
 is confined to the part to which the an@sthet-
 ic has been applied There is no general anasthesia, and no influence on the mind. The patient is left free to aid the operation by turning the eye in any required direction, holding down the lid, or in any such way, and can give this help almost as indifferently as third person, and often more successful ] 1y The absence of the tendency to close the eye, which accompanies general anaesthesia,
 is great advantage

Officer Crocker arrested both Evans and Mrs. Hasbrook, and they were each fined in the City court yesterday morning.

He was refused admittance on account of his condition Mrs. Maher also knew that he had pistol in his pocket, and as he had threatened her life on several occasions, she was afraid he might kill her if she let him in. Judge Deming found him guilty of all the charges he was arraigned upon. Judgment, however, was suspended in the drunk case. He was fined $25 and costs for carrying con- cea1ed weapons and sent to jail for thirty days for injury to property. He appealed the cases, but was unable to furnish the $400 required and went to jail.

 An article appeared in last evenings Reg ister concerning some trouble in the Butler party here over the payment of a debt of SIS incurred at the party headquarters in this city Some of the statements published were misleading according to the following card:
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Dear Sir-An article in last evenings Reg ister misrepresented me, inasmuch as I have paid or seen paid any and all bills that any stranger whom might have introduced to the New Haven people during the past cam paign contracted through politics. Regard ing the furniture, (when my business permit ted and I had every bill thrust on me cSreful- ly looked after) bought it, paid for. it and sold it and with the money guaranteed the payment of few details that were hang ing over. Now I find Mir. E. J. White head comes forward with a bill of $7. 50 whichI have no knowledge of nor will recognize it in any shape or form. At an early date I will redeem myself from any thought of an obligation to the Peoples Ma tional party of Connecticut Carelessly the furniture was sold for $9. I got better customer and picked up SIS, which wound up everything. have acquitted myself now of any further controversy in this matter or any moral or legal obligation which may be charged against me hereafter
 Very respectfully,

 A new rule in regard to German is work ing sad havoc among the Shelf. juniors. In accordance with this rule seventeen of the class were conditioned Tuesday morning. They have to make up all the German from freshman year before Christmas.
 Yesterday afternoon the intercollegiate graduate team met the Yale eleven at the new athletic grounds. Sleet was falling, which froze as soon as it reached the ground and made the ground, the men and the ball itself so slippery that good playing was i'm possible. The first half of the game was not noticeable, except the brilliant runs of Terry for Yale and good playing of Twombly and the two Hardings for the graduates. In the second half the game was continued for few minutes, in which Terry made two good runs and Robinson secured a touchdown Badger in tackling Terry was thrown and slightly hurt Peters also was injured in the head. The weather continued so severe that it was decided to stop the game at about 3:45, leaving the score 20 points to in Yale's favor.
 The graduate team plays a strong game, though it's members have not practised to- gether long enough to support each other well. The individual plays are very fine. Yale and Harvard play the second game of the championship series on Saturday in New Haven.

THE NEW ANEsTHEr1c.

Its Use and Applications or COcOaIne
 HydrochlOraIe-Wha 1t Is and Hts
 Value to she Genus Homo.
 While the new an@sthetic cocoaine hydro chlorate does not cost $7,O00 pound, as has been reported in some quarters, it is awaken ing great deal of interest and physicians warmly welcome it. A Hartford physician who has used it with excellent result gives the foIling concerning it to the Courant: Cocoaine is the alkaloid obtained from cocoa leaves by precipitation from an aqueous solution, through the instrumentality of hy- drochloric acid It is not new discovery, but its application as local an@sthetic is new. As known for many years, it has been classed with the alkaloids of coffee and tea. The plant from which it is produced is na- tive in South America and has furnished stimulant used by the natives for many years. The native practice is to chew the leaves and it has been alleged that their use made it possible to endure fatigue, by preventing the waste of nerve tissue without causing any later ill effects The alkaloid, or to speak roughly, the characteristic principle, is pow erful poison when given in large quantities, that is two or three grains, and has first a stimulating and then paralyzing effect. It causes death by paralysis of the nerve cen ters.
 The eocoaine hydrochlorate which has at tracted so much attention is a weak solution of the alkaloid It is so diluted and is used in such small quantities that in spite of the statements as to the cost of the pound of the aIkaloid, it is probably less costly for an operation than ether.
 The first discovery of it's anssthetic effect was made by student named Roller, in Vienna, last summer. During the course of some experiments on animals he noticed it's effect in benumbing sensation. Its action IS chiefly on the mucous membrane and it was first employed to make the throat less sensitive during examinations, and then in the eye. It is in this latter use that it prom ises to be of most service The? results ob- tained by Roller were communicated to the International OphthalmologicaI congress held in Heidelberg in September, and Dr. Moves of New York, who was present, at once wrote to physicians in New York, announcing the discovery and describing it's use in an opera tion to the eye which he had witnessed.
 It is used by introducing few drops of the solution in the eye and repeating per haps once minute until the sensitiveness of the organ is suspended. The result is gen. orally reached in about five minutes, the ef- feet beginning to be appreciable in about half that time. The insensibiity continues from fifteen minutes to half an hour. The effect is superficial. In case deep opera ton is required, the surface may be rendered

The Pound Party Tomorrow Night
 What to Give.
 Many friends are asking, what shall we send to the pound party on tomorrow (Fri- day) night? The management answer that almost anything will come in play in a large house where there are many mouths to feed, but if a few suggestions will be acceptable they will gladly make them as follows: Sugar, tea, coffee, starch, soap, rice, oat meal, candles, butter, etc., are always in order. A few hams would come in nicely One kind lady sent in barrel of four last year. The managers hope dozen will go and do likewise. Pounds (or tons) of coal and pounds (or eords) of wood will be gladly received, and few barrels of apples would meet with cordial reception.
 Some of the farmer friends will be warmly thanked for few potatoes, onions, turnips or pumpkins.
 If one can really think of nothing else, pounds sterling are just as good as anything. "As ye have therefore opportunity do good unto all men,"
