Paterson man has spent $15, 900 in ten
days. The money was legacy from de-
ceased relative in Ireland. He was locked
up for drunkenness. When arraigned he
could not articulate word, could not walk
without assistance, and frequently fell to the
floor in fit. His recovery is doubtful. Be-
fore the inheritance he was sober and indus
trious. -Eg. Paterson saloons are all of the
low-hcense order. If they had been high
license saloons he would have only been
about one-half of the time in spending his

ago began to build house upon lot which
he purchased at Williamsbridge. Being
poor carpenter he worked in shop in the

structure. He then married and his mother
in-law went on Sunday to live with him.

burned the house. She died on the following
Sunday Six months later Butelle himself
also died on Sunday.

become law There is just about as much
truth in this statement as there is in the ma
iority made by this illustrious prevaricator.
The women of the state of New York had
they the power to vote would turn things
upside down, politically in short metre.
Women are more consistent than men and
they wouldn't vote for that enemy that has
done so much harm to her sex. And she
would be glad to vote had she the chance.
