A DIALOGUE OF FACTS.

MoTHER-"Kate, how is the fair get ting on.''
 KATE-"Oh, splendid. Crowded houses every night and such elegant presents to take chances on. Prominent among them is a fine piano and organ to be voted away to the holder of the lucky numbers"
 MoTHER-"Well, now Kate you sur. prise me. Pianos and organs are pretty expensive presents to give away. Father Ireanor must have got good bargain. Whose make are they ?'
 Really, now mother I am equally surprised that you should ask that question; Shoninger's, of course. They make the best. Nearly every house l go into has one, and am beginning to think 1t is time had one myself.'
 MOTHER Surely, now you arouse my interest. Chances on such fine instru- ments are not offered every day. Of course we will take some tickets. Should we win, all right; if not, we will make visit to Shoninger's and buy one of their elegant pianos. They must do an extensive business, and company that transacts the largest volume of business is always best equipped to make low prices. B. SHONINGER 6 Go,

SHARING BIRDS.
Officers of the Field Club Always on
 the Watch,


 The Waterbury Field club and the State Association for the protection of game learned some time ago that Charles Blackman of Woodbury had been violating the game laws by sharing birds. The two associations employed A. G. Ahgreen, a detective of Hartford, who watched Blackman and yesterday he was arrested. He was taken before Justice Basham of Middlebury, in which town the offence was committed and pleaded guilty to three violations of the game law. Attorney Wood, of this city, conducted the prosecution and the justice fined Blackman S29,S4. Two of his assistants, his brother George Black man and a boy named Burt Atwood were arrested for violation of the game laws committed in the town of Wood bury. They were taken before Justice Town of that place and pleaded guilty. The court continued the case of Black man on promise that he would not violate the laws again and nolled the case against young Atwood. The officers of the society claim Charles Blackman, has been violating the law for over 13 years, but this is the first time that the state could prove a case against him,

 Residents.

His brothers are Joseph F., of Southington, Merritt of Waterbury and Luther S., of Nauga- tuck. His brother Anson died in Cali fnrnio in, 1S1Q Ia Mo rio H., of New Britain.

CHICAGO, March 2S-The Rev. George B.

Seventh Day Adventists are being horribly
treated in some parts of the south. He
has received from Elder NJ. c. Huffman
OF that sect, for transmission to the general
conference at Battle Greek, Mich, the fol-
lowing letter, written at Alpharetta, Mil
ton county, Georgia.
Brother d. Conklin, of Michigan, who,
with his family. has lately moved into this
neighborhOod, has been reported to the
grand jury and a bill found against
him for working on Sunday. and
all he did was to cut a few
sticks of wood to build fire, just what |
have seen many others doing since l came

auy portion of the law in this state is very
severe. They have what is known in this
state as chain gang, where those who
violate the law are taken, and Dall and
chain fastened to one leg and, they are
made to work on public roads aud rail-
roads, and those who are put there are
many of them treated worse than brutes.

man who registered at the Hotel Parle as
S. u. Waite, of Florida, and took poison to

eide.

ALL REMOVED FOR CAUSE.

WASHINGTON, March IS General Clark
son, the first assistant postmaster general,
was questioned today concerning certain
newspaper criticisms directed against his
policy in the appointment of fourth class
postmasters In answer he said that
practically all of the changes thus
far have been made for other
than political reasons. A large number of
appointments made during the last admin
istration were VIGOROUSLY bad. A consid-
cradle number had been found to be delin-
quent in their accounts; other changes
had been made in order to secure better
locations for offices, and in many cases ap-
pointments had been made with view 10
the removal of offices from the vicinity OF
saloons. In every case of removal there
had been good and sufficient cause there
for
Perhaps, F" he added, ''it is not generally
known that my predecessor within a
month or six weeks prior to the
4th of March made over
thousand appointments OF fourth class
postrnasters for the purpose, evidently, of
forcing them upon this administration.
This course had never been pursued to my
knowledge by any previous administra-
tion. During the last seven weeks of Pres
ident Arthur's term not q single fourth
class postmaster was appointed except In
rare instances where the eXigencies of the
service demanded 1t and when Postmaster
General Hatton resigned there were more
than 5000 designations on file in his office
The commissions of the thousand ap-
pointees of my predecessor were, of course,
withheld and these vacancies, with Others
are now being filled as rapidly as possible"
