ANOTHER NEW COURT.

Waterbury Will Divide the Common
 Pleas Business With New Haven.
 HARTFORD, CONN, Feb 1S.-The indif- ferent manner in which the house of re- presentatives passed the bill last Friday establishing a district court of common pleas for New Haven county in Water bury, was sufficient evidence that only a small fraction of the number knew what they were voting upon. The vote on the bill hardly amounted to whisper, but it was sufficient to pass the measure, and if the senate concrlrs as in all proba- bility it will, Waterbury will divide the judiciary honors with New Haven. The present legislature will have the appointment of a judge of the new court, and of course the New Haven county republican caucus will dictate the nomination. But if the present pro- gramme is carried out, the caucus will depart from its usual custom of making party nominations. Representative O'NeiN of Waterbury is the man who is booked for judge of the court, and it is understood that he will be nominated by the unanimous approval of the mem bers of the Waterbury bar, without re- gard to party. The lawyers down in that part of the Naugatuck valley think that Judge O'Neill would sound well.

 We have all heard of 'tthe little black eyed rebel" who, by dint of kiss and certain coquettish glances from the corner of her eye," succeeded in carrying important dis patches in the enemy's very face. She Is not the only patriotic girl who has made coquetry do military duty. In Margaret Sidneys s'Old Concord" is the following story of Mlicent Barrett, who lived in that historic town in the revolutionary days:
 Milly, being young and pretty, had learned bridge had captivated the hearts of some British soldiers. Especially did she fascinate one of the officers, and, woman like, used to tease him to tell her how they managed their military affairs, and how they made their cartridges.
 He, man like, explained the process, but told Milly that if it were known in England that he had given her the secret, he should, on his return, lose his head-as though he had not already lost it!
 After the eventful 18th of April, Milly went home to her fathers house, and at once proceeded to use her newly acquired knowl- edge. She gathered all her mates about her and told them the secret; then busily the young fingers flew, forming after the direc- tions given by the Englishman the cartridges that were to save her brave countrymen The scissors that she used have been given to the Concord library by cousin of the heroine.-Youth's Companion

POLICY FLAMING.
The City Ordinance in Relation to
 Gambling and Gaming.


 Gambling and Gaming.
 The action of the DEMOCRAT in show ing up the Brook street policy shop was timely. The business is rapidly increas- ing and it is time the police stepped in and took hand. Policy is one of the worst forms of gambling-for the man who runs against the bank. The chances of winning are very small, and the man who does happen to win once not only drops all his winnings again, but becomes a confirmed player.
 The game has taken a stronger hold of Connecticut than any state in New Eng its share of the business. It is poor mans game from the fact that any sum from a nickel up can be played.
 In New Haven the police are working hard to suppress the vice and four pro- prietors of policy shops in that city have been arrested recently. In Waterbury, Hartford and Bridgeport the shops are run openly. The city ordinance bear ing upon the subject is as follows: Sec S-Every room in said city, kept or used for any gambling or gaming purpose, or for the purpose of risking any money or property by any form of sance, and any owner or occupant of | any room who shall knowingly suffer or permit such room to be used for any such purpose, and every person who shall act as dealer, counter, tallyman, stakeholder or manager of any such gambling, gaming or hazard, and every person. keeping or managing, or assist ing in keeping or managing any policy office, or acting as agent for any such office, whether such office is in this city or elsewhere, shall be deemed guilty of causing and maintaining a nuisance, and shall forfeit and pay a penalty ot not less than ten, nor more than one | hundred dollars for every such offenSe.

WHERE IS EUGENE ALLYNs
His Mysterious Disappearance From
 Happy Home.

His Mysterious Disappearance From
 Happy Home.
 Early Monday morning two weeks ago Eugene E. Allyn, prominent man of West Goshen, bade his wife and three children good by and set out for Tor rington to take, as was supposed, the south bound train on the Naugatuck railway. The next and the last that has since been heard of him came in the shape of a letter to his brother Dwight, who keeps a grocery store at 199 Elk change street, Far Haven: It was postmarked Waterbury, and it enclosed another sealed letter addi essed to Fred erick A. Lucas, West Goshen. The let ter to his brother Dwight was a mere note, and read as follows:
 If do not fetch around in New Ha- ven by Saturday night to stay over Sun- day with you, send the enclosed to Lucas by mail Monday morning. EUGENE.
 Dwight Allyn kept the letter week, during which time he received letter for his brother from the wife ,who was growing uneasy at her home in Goshen at the long absence of Eugene. Last Monday the letter was forwarded to Mir Lucas of Goshen, as Eugene had direct ed, and its contents explained in meas ure the reason why Eugene had so sud- denly departed. In the letter, Allyn says he is going to get work If he can, saving he is financially embarrassed but not bankrupt. He closes by saying he is the most miserable p srson in Goshen.
 There is another phase of the affair which has created considerable coniec- ture Some three months ago MT Allyn took into his employ as a clerk George North who halls from Cornwall. North is a brother of MT Allyn's wife, and when he came to Goshen MT Allyn took him and his wife to live in his house. Mrs North, who is 27 years of age, did sewing and other work for Mrs Allyn. She has one child, girl about 8 years old by former husband, from whom she was divorced. On February 4, when MT Allyn disappeared, Mrs North dis appeared also. She took the same train Mir Allyn is supposed to have taken at Torrington. Since her departure no word has been received from Mrs North.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Frank Bancroft has signed as mana ger of the Indianapolis club.
 Sam Wise will probably play at short tor the New YOrks next season.
 Gruber IS mad because he has been rated as a class c man and refuses to sign Cleveland contract.
 Conway's work at half-back is the equal of any man in the league. All this talk about his roughness in compar- lson with other players don't amount to much. Conway makes fouls to save goals like all the rest of them and we have yet to see the player that does not. In fact, there are two or three other players in the league who play useless ly rough game all the etime.-Bridgeport News.
 The Australians evidently were not able to fathom Captain Anson and his mysterious ways of kicking, for one of the papers said editorially: But there is one thing our people do not under stand; that is, why does Anson of Chicago walk in front of the first goal and shake his finger at one of the catchers so earnestly and then walk back with his head down and his face very red?'
 Ed Daily has not been sold to Colum- bus and the deal is said to be of. The IacC IS Ed dOeS not want 10 go into the American association, but prefers to re- main in the league, the parent organiza- tion. commend his ambition and ad- wise him to adhere to that idea. It rests entirely with himself whether he goes or stays. In the estimation of such men as Captain Anson, John Ward, John Morrill, and President N. E. Young, Ed Daily is one of the star players of the league, providing he allows himself to be properly disciplined. He is credited with some of the most remarkable plays executed in right field, and the files of the SI orting Life show that in many closely contested games two-bagger or a three-bagger by Daily won the game. 1 Exporting Life.

Wonders of the Telegraph.

The wonders of electricity as revealed in the communication of information by telegraph are illustrated in the case of a telegram which was filed in the Western Union telegraph office at New addressed to the editor of this paper. Under the old method of a pony express the telegram might be expected to reach its destination sometime before night, but under the improved methods of the Western Union company the message seems to be travelling yet. At any rate it hasn't succeeded yet ill reaching this office. But the thirty cents charged for the telegram found it's way into the com pany's treasury with regular telegraphic celerity. Truly, great are the wonders of the telegraph in this nineteenth cen tury.

Red Tape in the House of Commons.

The simplicity of legislative methods in the law making bodies of both state and na- ton this side the Atlantic stands out promi- nently by comparison with the antiquated customs that still obtain across the water. A London paper consumes nearly three-quar- ters of a very solid column in describing how bill is introduced in the house of commons It seems that member who has bill to pre- sent must first go to the bar of the house and be recognized by the speaker. Then he must go back to the floor, stopping by the way to make three profound obeisances to the speaker. Then there is lot more of fum- mery to go through, a slip in any minor 6e- tail of which brings down on the unlucky offender the jeers and derisions of his fellow members-San Francisco Chronicle.

tendance at the presentation of "Rud- digore' Saturday night by the Stetscn company. The well known favorites Helen Lamont, Alice Carle, Mabella Baker, Sig Brocolini and James D. Gill bert were in excellent voice and sang and acted well. Edward Gervaise, tenor, was ill and unable to do justice to his part. The orchestra was the best that has been seen here for long time while the chorus lacked volume and was poor. The novelty of the second act of Ruddieo ore is it's great scoring fea- ture. The music for the most part is neither difficnlt nor pretty.

ELLENBORO, W. VA, July 90 On
June 29th George Mcdonald, an old soldier
who lives in Writ county, left his home for
Parkersburg in company with George
Meats, the Newark merchant. Mcdonald
had recently received pension arresrages to
the amount of $3.50, and took this money
with him on the trip. In few days he
returned to Writ county and reported that
he had been robbed Of his money while
sleeping with Meats, and as Meats did not
return promptly people began to think he
knew more about the matter than he cared
to tell. The REGISTER representative has
secured the facts in the case from the faith
sr Of young Meats, who has received let
ter from his son which Mcdonald admits
is the truth in every particular.
1t sppeaTs that young MOats was not
satisfied with the mercantile business and
desired to fud an easier road to riches and
communicated his desire to Mcdonald,
who was looking for some investment for
part of his pension money. finally the
pair concluded to correspond with some
responsible" green goods merchant in
New York The result of this correspond
ence was the receipt of genuine "V" as
a sample, and an invitation from the New
Yorker to visit the Metropolis, which they
resolved to do, arriving in Jersey City on
July 1st, where they were met by man
who conducted them to a downtown
clearinghouse, near the B)wery, in New
York City. After securing room
for the couple, the man informed them
that be could not deliver the goods" that
night but would call next day and make
the sale. That night the tw o would be-
queer showers were wrapped tightly in the
arms of Morpheus, while the ''responsible"
dealer or some confederate effected an en-
trance by removing wire screen with
which a window was fitted and relieved
the twain of all their cash and watches.
When the pair discovered their loss they
swore never to mention their visit to New
York or anything about their intended
purchase, and only allow it now to vindi-
cate Meats.
Mosts says in tis letter that Mcdonald
lost S675, and his loss was $3.50, as he had
$50 in his sock which the robbers failed
to secure. He declares he can never face
his wife OF father again and will never Ie-
turn TO Weet Virginia.
Mcdonald says he has never for mo-
ment suspected that Meats had any con-
nsetioa whatever with the loss of his
money, and is satisfied to profit by the
lesson he has learned.
