Nothing Done Yet by the Local Select
 men.
 The Hartford selectmen have already made preparations with view of en- forcing the secret ballot law. They have ordered ninety voting booths and sixteen envelope booths. The voting booths will cost S11 each and the enve- lope booths SS. The New Haven select men have done nothing yet. Colonel Doherty was out of town to-day, but 1t was learned at the selectmen's office that nothing has been done here as yet. The selectmen have examined models sub- mitted by Hartford firm.
 As election day is but a little over five weeks away it would seem as though the authorities should stir themselves lit tie in the matter.

Ashley w. Royce, clerk at the Hotel Andrew at Winsted, was engaged to Miss Chilson of Palmer. MT Royce went on his vacation a month ago to arrange for the wedding which was soon to take place. He returned last week and soon after was seized with hemorrhages, which resulted in his death last Sunday. Just before his death Royce and Miss Chilson were married. Royce was twenty-four years old and formerly lived in Mans died some time ago, leaving him $50, 900 in trust, to be turned over when he was twenty-six years old. Young Royce's death occurred too soon for him to re- ceive the money, but he made a will bequeathing it all to his bride. A sharp legal contest is sure to arise, other heirs being dissatisfied.

THE PROHIBITION RALLY.
\ Small Audience Hears Mir Cushing
 Discuss the Constitutional Amend

A Small Audience Hears MT Cushing
 Discuss the Constitutional Amend
 ment.
 About hundred persons, the major ity of these ladies, gathered at Jacques opera house last evening to hear MT Volney B. Cushing, of Maine, give req sons why prohibition should be engraft- ed into the constitutions of Connecticut and of the nation. MT Cushing spoke mostly in a conversational and argu- mentative vein, rarely essaying to be oratorical, and as consequence aroused little or no enthusiasm among the few people who were present.
 Mir Cushing said it was admitted that the liquor traffic was an evil, that the drink evil was most widespread and de- plorable. The moderation societies Of our grandfathers' days, when men pledged themselves to drink moderately, had given place to the total abstinence societies of our day, when men pledged use of intoxicating drinks. Neither the moderation societies nor the to- tai abstinence societies have been able to cope with the liquor traffic. The consumption of distilled and malt liquors has increased faster than the population. The necessity for curb ing the liquor business being recognized ! and admitted, the question has arisen, what is the best means of coping with 1t! There are but two remedies proposed in our day-high license and prohibition. High license, Mir Gushing claimed, is utterly wrong in principle and absolute ly unequal to cope with the liquor busi. l ness. Either the liquor business is good or it is evil. If good the state has nc right to place the privilege of engaging in the business so high that any man will be prevented from engaging it fol | want of the financial means of doing so. All men enjoy equal commercial rights and the state has no right to discrimi' nate in the distribution of legitimate rights. If the liquor traffic IS evil there can be no compromise with it 1t must
 be prohibited absolutely and entirely
 There can be no middle ground com
 promise with the liquor dealers, who arc willing to pay any sum for the continu
 ance of their business, is wrong i'll prin

 l Mir Cushing then elaborated on tht merits of prohibition and said it was tht
 only remedy for the terrible evils tha
 drink had brought and is bringing o1
 this fair land. The prohibitionists hav'
