No More Licenses Will Be Granted in
 New Milford.
 NEW MILFORD November 14.-At midnight last night there ended a strug- gle which has excited the people of this town for weeks. The county commis- sioners decided that there were too many saloons in New Milford and con- sequently the liquor dealers are down. hearted while the members of the Citi- zens' league are in high glee over their victory. All day yesterday the commis- sioners sat in the Town hall and heard the petitions of the saloon keepers for license and the evidence of the remon- strance against the granting of any more licences in the town. The liquor deal CTS were represented by Joseph L.. Barbour of Hartford and the Citizens league by Attorney Smith of Winsted. The Citizens league in every damaging evidence showing that there were enough saloons at present in the town and that less were desirable rather than more. The surprise of the hearing was when two Hartford detectives were in troduced and testified to the women in which the saloon keepers were violating the laws. They have been here about three weeks and have been going the rounds of the saloons under pay of the league. The commissioners announced their decision refusing the applications of the saloon keepers for licenses.

The Monroe Mystery.

The mystery surrounding the death of the late Captain SeeIey at Monroe, is not yet fully or satisfactorily solved. The general opinion is that the man did not commit suicide, but that he was first murdered and then strung up to beam in the barn by his slayer. The German farm hand who was about the locality drunk that day, and departed the day of the finding of the body, has not been found, although there is a detective working on his track and it is said has & satisfactory clue. There are very few people in the township but what believe that Captain Seeley was murdered by the farm hand. They naturally ask why did the fellow clear out leaving $50 in wages due him and four suits of clothes. fully solved.

Pollal,s Art Exhibition.

Lovers of the beautiful in art are en- toying an immensely gratifying mental feast at Pollak's art rooms just now. Their display of original etchings, and mezzotints, by well known artists, is something quite out of the ordinary, run of such exhibitions, and must be seen to be appreciated. A short, haphazard description will do the subject but scant justice at least. Before entering the ex- hibition room the eye is caught by a really grand etching in the show win dow, the subject belng Andrew Mel roses original painting "Ben-Hur,' 5 etched by John c. McRae. Among the various attractive pieces, the following gems were noticed "The Return of the piece to Woodland Pool" "Welcome from the original painting by L. Alma Tadama. It represents maiden in a posture of expectancy, and in the back ground is seen her lover approaching with bouquet in his hand. ''The End of the Song," by Barse, Jr, is a very touching piece. The subject apparently was sad one, as sorrow and deep thought are well depicted on the old mans face. A ''Winter Evening" from the original by Millars, is another little gem. "Out of the Fog" by Carleton T. Chapman, "Tender Strains," by c. l.. Grant, "Le Becques," from the original painting by Millars "Return from the Wedding" a mezzotint by Peter Moran, are among numerous pieces displayed worthy of special notice. Every lover of fine art should visit this exhibition.

FOUND NOT GUILTY

Editor Swift Brings Suit Against Prosecuting Attorney Chamberlain.
 The case against Herman Leopold, the nowsboy arrested for selling copies of a certain edition of the Herald, was finished in the court of common pleas at Bridgeport, yesterday. Judge Walsh, in addressing the jury, charged against the paper. He instructed them that they must not be guided or influ- enced in forming their verdict by the allusion to the sanctity of the liberty of the press. No such question was at issue in the trial and the constitution did not intend that this liberty should be abused.
 The jury retired at 11:50 a. m. and as they had not returned a verdict at p. m., Judge Walsh directed them to be called into the court room, and after cautioning them not to allow themselves to be approached by any one, dismissed them for dinner. One of the jurymen asked the judge for further instruction in regard to the application of the term wholly or principally" Upon the re- assembling of the jury at 9 p. m., Judge Walsh gave the desired instructions and re-read that portion of his charge re- lating to it, after which the jury again retired In twenty minutes the jury re- ported verdict of not guilty.
 Editor Swift IS in high feather over the outcome of the case, and said this morning that he will immediately bring suit for 5000 against Prosecuting At torney Chamberlain. alleging malicious prosecution. The papers are being pre- pared by Judge Lockwood and will probably be served this afternoon.

Letters Not Collected For Five Weeks From One Mall Box.
 At the corner of Court and Water street, says the Middletown Press, is 8 letter box, and like all other letter boxes it is supposed that the letters are collected with regularity. Many firms along the river front have occasion to use this box, and they have been put to some trouble of late, to find out that the reason that some of their Correspondence was not answered. Conroy, who con- ducts saloon near by, also mailed a letter to the internal revenue officers of that district, concerning his tobacco license, but that, like all others, brought no reply. A coal mer- chant dropped in a letter containing a check and that was not heard from. We might name several other parties who have been awaiting answers from letters deposited in the Water street box, but we will not tire with an array of names. Everybody knows that Uncle Sam provides good sized box for letters in different parts of the city, and when one of these boxes are filled up they hold many letters. The box, as described above, was well filled, and well it might be, for not a letter had been taken out for five weeks, and busi- ness men in that section of the city can easily trace their missing letters now.

Ganada's Population Over 5000, 900.

The Government estimates that the
population of Canada by the next census
will be over 5000, 900. Tho total in
1881 was over 4,324, $40. A hundred
years before the population of Canada
was estimated at 156, 012. Ontario's
contribution was computed to be 10,00O,
that of Quebec being 1902 and that
OF the maritime provinces $4,000. In
1906 the population of Canada has
grown to 429, 1874, less than that of Nova
Scotia at the last census, but still a con-
siderable inc.ease from the $4,000 or
Q, 1000 of the conquest. In 1914 the
population of Upper Canada was $50,

few years later and the balance had gone
to the other side. In 1851, at the first
regular decennial census, according to
the decades of the century, Ontario num-
bered 952, 900 and Quebec 500, 261.
