Every Cent He Had.

A depositor was lamenting his loss by bank failure and sympathizing friend said, ''John, don't take it to heart, you may get good dividend out of the con- cern and your loss will not come so hard on you. ''I know that, Dick, but it is hard to lose every cent man has in the world" ''That's so, John, how much had you deposited with the old rotten concern" ''It wasn't much, only ten dollars, but it was every cent had" Ten dollars isn't much money, but to a man that only has that amount it is matter of great concern. Our ten dollar over coat strikes the purse of the ten dollar man. In many cases it goes onto the back of persons used to paying fancy prices for goods not whit better. Buy of the manufacturer and save the middle mans profit and you are sure to be the gainer.

FINDING THEIR POSITIONS.
Interest Increasing in the Six Days
 Race.

0dccs
 Excitement waxes warm over the six days race at the rim and runners and spectators alike are deeply interested in the final result. Some remarkable changes have been made in the positions of the runners and it is impossible at the present time to name winner Of first place. Curley, who was the leader at o'clock yesterday, has been forced out of his position and at midnight was third in the race. Curley has done some re- markable work against experienced rum ners and he is now doing good running and will fight hard for his old position as leader. Noremac is gradually getting there and is proving the report to be cor his running powers. He has jumped one mere position and is pushing the leaders hard. Spicer left the track yes terday afternoon for good. The pace | was too fast for him and last night he was a thoroughly broken up man. He will probably come on during the week in exhibitions with Guerrero. Horan is delighting his many friends with his splendid racing and the leader may well fear such a plucky "ped." Herty IS the winner is the remark heard on all sides, seem at all fatigued and is piling up the miles. He is the favorite of the audience and has already earned the reputation of being the most quiet man on the track and the easiest to handle. Fox is still in the race and those who think he is quitter may be surprised before the week is over. Smith has again been doing some phenomenal work and at the pace he is travelling will land himself the winner. He has jump ed everybody and was not contented until he obtained first position. The pace, however, may be too fast and it is the general opinion that Smith has worked too hard in the last two days. O'Brien is still in the race, but does not expect money place. Gus Guerrero caine on the track last night and ran three miles against time. He made his first mile in fl, two miles in 103 and the three miles in 161, remarkable record for such track. Peter O'Keefe of New Haven gave as pretty an exhibition of square heel and toe walking as the peo. pie of Waterbury have ever witnessed He is in training for a 10 mile race in Birmingham Saturday with John Cum mings of Ansonia. He also issued a challenge last night to walk Joe Leg gett, of Waterbury, one mile for any amount of money.

RAISING THE LIQUOR LICENSE. Dealers Will Have to Pay $1OO or


 $2OO More Than They Do Now.
 It is announced on good authority that the license fee for New Haven county is to be raised. Commissioner Durham, it is understood, is disposed to allow the license fees to remain as they are at present, but his two colleagues entertain different opinion. They be- lieve that the community would be benefited by increasing the tariff on sa- looms, and as they constitute majority of the board of county commissioners the increase can be set down as a guar anteed fact of few months hence
 Commissioner Burleigh favors uni form rate of S4O0 throughout the coun- ty, which would be an increase of $50 on what New Haven dealers now pay. On the other hand Commissioner Jacobs advocates the graduation of tke fees in proportion to the population of the diff ferent towns of the county. In towns of less than 5000 inhabitants saloon keepers cannot be compelled to pay more than a $1OO license fee under the present law, but in larger towns the county commissioners have the author ity to fix the rates. It is Commissioner Jacobs plan to charge $500 for license tants, S400 in towns of from 10000 to 25, ,OOO inhabitants, and $500 in towns with population exceeding 25,OO0. If Commissioner Jacobs design be carried out, and the present indications are that it will, every person who wishes to engage or remain in the liquor busi- ness after January 1, without coming into conflict with the law, will have to plank down $500 in the currency of the realm.
 The saloonkeepers will not be wholly l 1,<@l oA
 to go up. They have for some time feared that such was the intention of the commissioners. The smaller dealers say they cannot afford to pay a higher license and that they will have to retire from the business

Guerrero Issues q Challenge.

Gu0rrerO 1SSueS Q ChAIIcnEe. To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 A report has been circulated since I left the track at the six days race here that had no heart and was pushed so hard l was not able to stand the strain. Some people have also sneered at the statement that I am not the champion forty weight hours runner of the world. I have records to prove my statement and proofs sufficient to satisfy anyone. I therefore issue the following challenge I will run any man now on the track for S250 to $500 from hour to 142 hours. l will also run on this track any two local peds miles, each to run q miles. This challenge means business. Now let the sneerers squeal or shut up.

ANOTHER CLOSE FINISH.

The Race for the Association Pennant
 Creates Excitement.
 BALTIMORE, Oct, 10.-The Baltimores put up miserable fielding game yes- terday, while Brooklyn batted heavily and played good all round game. Baltimore started off with Kilroy in the box, but the latter was touched up so lively in the third inning that Cunning ham was substituted, and in the fourth inning Foreman was brought into acquisition. The twirling for Brooklyn was dono by Caruthers' who had oficiated the day before. Caruthers had received telegram in the morning to the effect that he was the ia ther of Q son and this so tickled him that he wanted to go in again, and his desire was gratified.
 The game was not interesting to the few hundred spectators present, owing to the many blunders of the home players.

PAUL WERNER CASHEs CHECK AND sKIPS-THE
POLICE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR HIM.
The police are ON the lookout for young
German known here as Paul Werner, who is
wanted on a charge of doing" the German
minister out of S420. Six weeks ago the young
man came here from Baltimore and called on
Mr.. E. F. Droop, the music dealer, and asked
for employment. He told distressing story
of his needs, and pictured poverty so success
fully that Mr.. Droop. although he had no en-
plOyment for the young man, aided him finan-
cially. Werner's wife then called, and again
Mr.. Droop assisted them. After giving them
sums of money several times Mr.. Droop gave
Werner temporary employment. Mr.. Droop
received some money from abroad several days
ago, which was to pass through the hands of
the German minister. The money amounted
to 1920 and Mr.. Droop made out a check for
that amount, to be sent to the minister. The
check was left with his son Eddie, who was to
deliver it to the minister. The young man
entrusted the check to Werner, who delivered
ii to the minister. Werner was very accommo-
dating, and suggested that as he was acquainted
with the bank officials he would collect the
money and save the minister some trouble The
latter thanked the young man for his kindness,
Endorsed the check, and handed it to Werner
He had the check cashed, but failed to return
with the money. The police of several cities
have been requested to lookout for and arrest

THE INDIANA RECEPTION.
A Brilliant Entertainment at the Ma
tional Rifles ArmOry.

Hoosierdom in Washington temporarily
located itself in the National Rifles hall last
night, and it made good showing. There was
an abundance of bright-hued bunting, glitter
ing illumination, attractive costumes, fair
women and brave men. It was a grand reunion
Of Indianians, where all who hailed from the
state of Harrison, and who had tickets of ad-
mission could be happy for few hours. While
republicans were of course the leaders of the
occasion still democrats we're not excluded.
and a number of the gentlemen who are gener-
ally supposed to be preparing to retire from
public life graced the occasion with their pres
ence, and at least assumed the virtue of con-
tentment, whether they had it or not. The
Indiana republican club had charge of the pro-
ceedings, and the committee had hoped and con-
tinued to hope until late in the evening that
the President and Mrs. Harrison would honor
them with visit. The distinguished Indian
ians did not arrive, however so the play went
on with the leading characters omitted.s
Shortly after 10 o'clock Mr.. Russell Harrison
and Private Secretary Halford arrived, and for
the succeeding half hour they held an informal
reception. The first dance on the program, a
polka, lacked charms for the majority of those
present, but the second one. "Yeoman of the
Guard lanciers, filled the floor. In this Mr.
Russell Harrison, MIR. A. j. Halford, and Col.
Perry Heath contributed to the formation of a
set. They danced a couple of figures with toll
cradle correctness, but either memory or incli-
nation failed for during the remainder of the
second terpsichorean number they were salts
fed to stand in their places and chat with their
partners.
