 Under Police Protection.

Charles Alerton's Assailant Once More
 Under Police Protection.
 Thomas Mcdonald, one of the toughs who almost murdered Charles Allerton couple of weeks ago, has been doing" the valley ever since he was released under bonds, furnished by his father, and the chances of his serving an extended term in Wethersfield for highway robbery are excellent Yesterday morning he went to Naugatuck and was lodged in the lookup, After getting drunk and drawing a revolver upon Peter Kelley, the Bank street livery man. Upon be ing searched it was found that he had nearly $500 upon his person. Aboat the same time Matthew Shalvey of this city notified Chief of Police Eagan that he had been robbed of q roll of bills containing $3S0 Sunday evening. Officer Dodds was placed upon the case and says there is no doubt but what Mcdonald is the thief. He saw Shalvey and Mcdonald together about z o'clock Sunday evening, in the Brooklyn district, and later they were seen together in Meadow street. It was here Shalvey claims Mcdonald stole his money and left him. About s o'clock Mcdonald and an other fellow, whose. identity is unknown at present, were in possession of q carriage and fast horse and two packages of cigar cites, which Officer Dodds saw Mcdonald purchase at the Italian store in Boyle's block
 Attorney Judd, McDonald's lawyer, wis ited him at Naugatuck and secured his re- lease under $200 bond, which Mcdonald furnished himself. He then started to ''do the town, ," scattering his money like chaff, and the news coming to the ears of the police they followed him few miles be- low Naugatuck at noon to-day. In the meantime his father who his surety to the amount of $500 in the Allerton scrape, called at the police station to with draw his bond, and on the news of his sons arrest was allowed to do so.
 Officer Dodds drove to Naugatuck this afternoon and secured Mcdonald, who was confined in the lookup, having settled his case of assault and being confined there to await the arrival of an officer from this city to take charge of him. At the police station he searched and $114 were found ill his pocket.

CUT THIS OUT IND SIGN IT.

All who believe iE a revision of the tar if should do what they can to encourage those in the national congress who are laboring to that end.
 Will each reader of the EVENING DEMO GRAF who favors tariff reform cut out the petitions printed below, write his name, business and to|Tn upon the blank space, and forward tho petition to the Reform club, IS1 Chapel street, New Haven! To the Senate of the United States
 Gentlemen-The workingmen of Con- nectlcut-wage-e earners, manufacturers and farmers-uSe upwards of one hundred mil lion dollars worth of raw materials an nually in their industries. A large amount of these materials cannot be obtained ill this country. Nearly all of these materials come from without the borders of the state. The increased cost of these mater ials, particularly of wool, salt lumber, tin plates, etc, by reason of the tariff taxes has become an intolerable burden. The Mills bill, which now comes before you, relieves us from many of these taxes The final enactment of the bill will be worth millions of dollars to our people. It will revive many industries, which are now much depressed; it will tend to increase the wages of our mechanics and the profits of our manufacturers, it will add value to our farms and to our factories.
 We, the undersigned, citizens of Con- necticut, therefore most respectfully ask that the bill be speedily passed by your honorable body.

driven by l1arle. He sits in the mid

The Population of Mexico.

Possibly there are 100000 white
men, properly so called, in Mexico, and,
rs J. have shown, they are differentiated
among themselves by climate. Then
there are mixed bloods to the number
of about 100000 approximately, and
these, scattered over the republic, differ
in many ways through climate causes.
Then come about 100000 Indians,
some very much civilized, some semi
civilized and others barbarous OF the
barl,arous Indians, some are peaceful
enough. and others, like the Chan
Santa Cruz Indians OF the Iucatan
peninsula, are fierce and warlike. The
Iaquis of Sonora may be taken as ex-
a,nples OF semi-civilized Indians. These
Indian races speak different languages,
though many tribes use Spanish TO a
greater OF less extent according to the
measure of their contact with the white
man.-Co1,. Boston Herald.

Ir Favor Coral

An unmarried lady, known to the
world OF society, caused, says the
Chicago Herald. considerable comment
among her friend, recently by appear
ing in public dcclzcd out in orn amants
of coral. Inquiry proved that she wore
them on wager, and that they were
the property of her mother, cast aside
years before. 1t was noted with some
surprise that they became her adj
mirably, despite their old-fashionod air,
and the Incident has given rise to dis
cussion IN the charmed circle upon the
advi;ability of a crusade in favor
of the revival of coral. 1t is not
SO many years since it held q
high place and furnis he'd a prominent
industry in France. The Empress
Eugene, when she set the fashions
for the world, was extremely partial to
ornaments Of that sort. The Russian
ladies of today wear it great deal, and
among the Oricntals both sexes aff:c it.
The artistic effect, possible by Il COM
bination CT gold and coral are great;
in fact, there is almost unlimited scope
for the exercise OF the jewelers. taste
and ability. A j,welcr, in speaking of
the matter n day or two ago, said:
"The almost complete absence OF coral
from the show windows of today is a
noticeable fact, and 1 canno OF pretend to
explain why it is so little worn by tho
present generation. feel confident
that if more coral jcwclry was kept in

coral is becoming to nearly everybody.
It's brilliancy makes the skin look whittier
by contrast. and with dark hair it har-
monies beautifully, while its effect is
also very agreeable when in conjunction
with blond trcsscs. Like all fashion in
