 No liquors are allowed in the rooms of the Waterbury club. The liqu or question is or e that sooner or later will confront the members and many there are who will be interested to know the attitude of the courts in this matter. By recent decision of Judge Walsh of the court of common pleas, held at Bridgeport, it is not a violation of law to serve liquor to members of clubs in the club parlors. The case at issue was this In the rooms of the South Nor walk club was a colored waiter who bought the liquor and at the same time acted as a servant. Any member of the club could bring in his friends with him and when liquor was wanted order it from the waiter. He would then ascer- tain the price. The waiter would take out his check book and enter the amount due on bill and hand it to the member, at the same time making another entry on a stub. The bill would be torn off and deposited in slot. The accounts of each member would be made up at the end of the month and compared with the stubs held by the waiter. The member would then either pay the bill or give his check. This was done without a license for the sale of | liquor.
 This being the case what is there to prevent a man starting the liquor busi- ness in this city, and wishing to avoid paying heavy licence, obtain a certain | secul e a charter and start in on the same plan? He wonld get the regular price for drinks, and not paying license fee have much larger profit than the regu- lar dealers. He might be invited to come up and settle by Agent Colley, but ac- cording to the decision of Judge Walsh would stand fair show of acqulttal The moral of all this is: Make the high toned clubs pay the re lulation fee for conducting their saloons.

 ! A well-known South Main street man who is as straight as a string and-so he says-not in the least superstitious, was around town the other day armed with a ten dollar bill, trying to find the hold CT of ticket No 625 in the Louisiana state l lottery. He was unsuccessful and could not be consoled, declaring that if he could secure the coveted ticket his for | tune was made. After much persuasion the young man explained that on Satur- | day night his dreams were filled with visions of the Louisiana lottery, and all night long there danced before his eyes large card bearing thIs inscription in gorgeous letters of red, white and blue:
