The Way to the Heart Is Through the
 Purse.
 The correct way to a mans good graces is through his pocketbook. Give a man tip" on a good thing and he becomes your friend. The thousands of advocates of our fine clothing are the people who have profited by our advice to buy their clothing of us. The amount we have saved them has cemented them to us. We have reached their hearts through their pockets, and now they are paying us back by recommending us and our goods to others. The stores that advertise impossibilities wonder at our phenomenal business, how we flourish and grow. We are head and shoulders above them all for the largest and most varied assortment. We man ufacture in large quantities, and sell at lower prices than any other house in the city. Remember that dollars do double work at Hirsh's Ten Per Cent Clothing House, the acknowledged champion of low prices, 72 Bank street opposite the postoffice.

THE BOARD OF PARDONS.

Convicts Who Want to Get Outside
 of Dreary Prison Walls.
 The board of pardons met in Hartford yesterday and heard petitions from a large number of convicts who want to be released from Wethersfeld.
 Among the New Haven county peti- tioners Stephen Abbott is the best known here Abbott was sent up for life in January. 1869. Lawyer Charles Holt Fowler of New Haven appeared and made strong argument in his favor. In drunken row the prisoner had hit man named Bronson on the head with an axe and cracked his skull. MT Fowler said that malice was lacking and that for that reason the prisoner should have been given light sentence. Mir Doolittle said the murder was a bru- tai one. After killing his man he had hid the body under a barn. The next day he returned, ritied the dead man's clothes and threw the body into the sound He thought that Abbott should stay i'll prison until his earthly career was ended.
 The other applicants for pardon from New Haven county were: William Il. King, convicted of theft in New Haven in January last and sentenced to two years He claimed his lawyer deceived him into pleading guilty when he was really innocent. David Beaudet, con- assault with intent to kill Dr Zinc and sentenced to ten years, had his case pre- sented by Attorney Zacher of New Ha- ven, who claimed his client was inno- cent. Charles w. Maynard, convicted of rape and sentenced for twelve years, claimed that he was innocent of the crime

Lyon Lewis Has a Double.

A Waterbury installment man named Lewis and we'll known resident here resemble each other much more than brothers usually do, and the mistakes made by parties who take one for the other are often ludicrous. The Ansonia man is often stopped on the street and inquiries are made as to what he sells certain articles of furniture for. At other times the children stop him and say to him, Mother wants you to call for she has some money to pay you" The Waterbury man does not escape so easily as he frequently has to listen to tales that were designed only for the ears of a grand juror, or is occasionally asked to conduct an auction. When the two men meet they usually have good time relating experiences.-Ansonia Sentinel.

The Waterbury Police officers Not
 Allowed to Testify.
 The Souder murder trial was resumed at Hartford to-day. The first witness called was John Sughrue, the "all-hot' vender of this city, who concluded his testimony. Officers Dodds, Michael Su'- livan and McNiff, of this city, were summoned by the d afense, but the state objected to their giving testimony and the Judge the tnsx about John Calvin was not heard, and they returned on the 1:55 train this afternoon. Souder, the murderer, took the stand in his own defense and at two o'clock was still telling his story of the affair. It is probable that the case will be given to the jury by Wednesday.

Fire in Berlin.

Fire broke out about 1O:3O last night in the rear of the Kellogg homestead in Berlin. It is supposed to have origina- ted in the hennery, close to the house, and to have been started by thieves who were stealing chickens. It spread so rapidly that the rear of the house was all on fire before the inmates were aware of their danger. The inmates escaped with difficulty in thelr night clothes. The barn and an adjoining house were also burned. The loss is about S3 ,0OO.
