Martford's Spasm of vfrEue-Why NOt
 Serve MeIIeans' man she Same way.
 HARTFORD, Dec. 15.-The spasm of virtue which caused the police to raid a Chinese ''fap tan" den and opium joint and capture over thirty of the laundrymen and tea dealers of the city has creatsd no little excitement, and general inquiry as to why the gambling dens kept by white men in various parts of the city are not broken up. It is not to be supposed that the police are unaware of the existence of these placess indeed an occasion al raid has been made, but in nearly every instance the gamblers were warned, and nothing was captured that would have been of value as evidence against them, showing showing plainly that there had been oollu- sions between some members of the police force and the proprietors. The movement in behalf of public morals, led by the committee of twenty, had the suppression of gambling for one of their objects, but the committee it. self has fallen into desuetude that is point worse than innoeuous.

 Crmsus and Nos a Free Trader.
 The statement that ex-Senator William W. Eaton of Hartford was living retired life on a fortune of $2,000,000 which is being circulated is worthy of fsmile. It is true that he has retired, but his fortune is quite a moderate one He lives very comfortably, however, and takes lively interest in public affairs, being of sound body and of vigorous intellect, even though he is over the three score and ten line. He has not been in thor Oueh aeeord with she Democracy on the free trade issue. On being asked to preside at 8 Democratic mass meeting he said: "If do shall make speech on the tariff that will not be in harmony with the views of the party" "But you need not make speech, s!nply preside.n ''Not make speech, said the veteran. "Can go before the people of Hartford, to whom have spoken for forty years, and say nothings" He did not preside, but was one of the first to heartily congratu- late Harrison, whom he esteems as personal friend and a man of splendid qualifications for the presidency.--N York Tribune.

An act seldom enacted in any opera house in this city took place at the New Haven Opera House Saturday night. The audience was enraptured with Miss Julia Marlowe's impersonation of Viola in the Twelfth Night" and when the curtain went down on the last act not satisfied with calling her be- fore the curtain at the last of the other acts those present arose in body and applauded most vociferously until she and her company came before the curtain again. It was @ touching and splendid tribute to Miss Mar lowe and she should be proud of her ability to completely win the hearts of one of New Haven's cold and stoicaI audiences. In this comedy Miss Marlowe's company was excel- Iaut.
