A Pair of Kids"

This musical pantomime farce which is to be the attraction at the Jacques opera house on Monday night is said to easily distance all competitors in laugh ing features, and comes to us from fresh conquests over the disabilities of the amusement seeking public that have eclipsed all it's records of the past SIX seasons. The character of Jiles Button, which Mir Kendall has made so familiar to the theatre-going public during a run of six years, ia a veritable old country "jay" with all the backwoods homeli- ness and characteristic awkwardness that could possibly be instilled into such character grotesquely humor- ous as he is thoroughly original. The kids" is spoken of by our exchanges as being funnier than ever

Doings of Day in the Valley Below

 NAUGATUCK, Nov 13.-Quite a num- Der of witnesses went from here to New Haven yesterday on the Beebe estate case.
 We hear that there is now two cases of scarlet fever on Cannon hill, although only one has been reported to the char man of the board of health; also that by an oversight on the part of the clerk no danger signal has been put up for that.
 The new fire department building is we'll under way. The material and the work thus far is first-class in every par. | ticular.
 Petroleum is now being used to heat the annealiug furnace at the Malleable works at Union City.
 Patrick Conran says that the repor that he has received $500 for his burned building is wrong, although an agree ment was made with Agent Atwater tT that effect, which was repudiated by the adiuster when he arrived.
 A large number will go from here t. Waterbury tonight to attend the fair there and return on a special trail about midnight.
 One of the things talked of for tn near future is 500 horse power com pound engine for the Phoenix shop.

AFFECTING INVESTMENTS.

The Ss cretarv of War Changes the Age
 Limit.
 Lieut. Bowen of the United States army recruiting office in New Haven has received an order from the secretary of war, which changes the age limit of enlistment from 35 to 30 years. This but 1enly applies to first ehIistments, Theorder was issued, probably, because the number of recruits have so increased that the war department can now afford to be more particular about the men taken into the service than it could a few years ago. The army has grown in popularity and standing during the past few years very rapidly and it is now possible to get about all the men neces- sary when formerly it was a difficult matter to enlist a few men,

AMUSEM ENTS.
"The Two Sisters I"

''The Two Sisters will be presented this evening at the opera house. Of the play the Daily Record Union of Sacra- mento says: The audience were entirely satisfied. There was much applause, hearty indulgence in laughter and sym pathetic tears. The play teaches shaSp lessons and gives needed warnings to youth. It is an idyl of city life, and it is easy to comprehend why this pathetic, humorous, manly, graceful, life-like comedy drama has won such success wherever played.
 "A Pair of Kids"
 "A Pair of Kids disported them selves at the Arch street theatre. It is not the first time this amusing play has been seen in this city, but a number of new specialties have been introduced, and the company is all that could be de sired to make farcical comedy a suc- cess.

A Card From the Rev R. w. Micor

Card From the Rev k. w. Micou. To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 Dear Sir: The article on the school question in your last issue is written in an admirable spirit and gives a correct summary of the always courteous dis cussion and arguments in the last board concerning the appointment of the new High school principal. But it makes one misstatement. which being em- phasized in connection with my own name, in your editorial note, calls for public correction.
 It is stated that ''Mr Hovey heard of the changes in the High school and requested that his name should be presented as a candl' date, and his name was presented to the committee on teachers, and was i'm mediately rejected, in which rejection this same republican member fully ac- l quiescd.'
 MT Hovey was then in Germany and had not had tune to hear of and write about the proposed changes. No appli cation was received from him by the committee and none therefore could be rejected by them. His name was not
 mentioned in the long session of August 4, when the election of principal was | ferred to by your correspondent came up at a later meeting of the board. Respectfully, R. w. MICOU. Chairman of Former Committee or teachers.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
That "Petition."

To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT
 There is just now great deal of fuss and feathers about what we read con cerning that petition" Many of the names of that document were secured through misrepresentation. The object for which the petition was circulated was not in many cases placed before the signers. This is a stubborn fact. TRerfore, the petition deserved the treatment it received. But what other treatment could it receive when the Hon Mir Webster jammed it into his pocket. Could it be treated? It ia wonderful. as it is shameful, to what means "certain" people will resort to accomplish their purpose. Again, il was brazenly stated that the petition contained the names of priests. Where are they? That was pure fabrication made out of the whole cloth. It was ar insult to our clergy, because it placed them in a false light. The whole thing was fraud.

EDITOR SWIFT BADLY WHIPPED.
Peter KeeIey Files a Bill of Exceptions
 to an Article in the Herald.

Peter KeeIey Files Bill of Exceptions
 to an Article in the Herald. Editor'Fred R. Swift of the Sunday Herald was assaulted by Peter Keeley in front of the Cooley house at 11:20 o'clock this morning. Mir Swift arrived from Bridgeport on the 11:17 train, and in company with Reporter Cornelius Hayes of the Herald and another news paper man started up town. When di- rectly in front of the Cooley house, Peter Keeley rushed out, spoke to Swift, and the next moment struck the Herald man a hard blow on the mouth. Another blow knocked Swift down and when he arose he was still the target for KeeIey's blows. The latter's brother arrived on the scene about this time and, it is al legged, took hand in the affair, although he says he only separated the men. Reporter Hayes, seeing that things | were getting rather lively, took to his heels and went up Bank street on a canter. The other newspaper man re- mained on the scene and with the as sistance of Ralph Blakeslee Swift was removed to the latter's office on Meadow street.
 Swift's face was covered with blood and badly swollen. His nose was cut and his left eye was blackened and nearly closed. After washing himself and brushing his clothes he was driven to the Franklin house. Peter Keeley surrendered himself to Officer Dean who conducted him to the station house where he gave bond of $100 for his ap pearance before the police court to- morrow.
 This afternoon Keeley called at the | DEMOCRAT office to make a statement concerning the affair. He said that last Sunday the Herald published an article in which he was accused of being a E'spotter'' for the police, and of his hay ing went to the apartments of Mrs Fife Sabsovich, the fortune teller who was fined last week, with a female friend, for the purpose of furnishing evidence for Detective Egan to work upon. He said that wrong motives were imputed to him and that he had been watching for Swift since Sunday to have him eX. plain. Seeing the latter on Bank street this morning he stopped him, when Swift made motion as if to draw a re volver. Then the row commenced with the result as above stated. In conclusion Keeley said that he had never been be- fore the police court, did not drink anc was not ashamed of his record.

wholesale swindl,ns.

A. Frank Richardson, Of
New York, in his recent address
in st. Paul, Mimi, before the
National Editorial association,
called attention to the fact that
druggists all over the country
are continually defrauding their
customers by offering them i'm.
itations or substitutes for var
ious patent medicines; thus also
swindling the proprietors of
such medicines who have Great
ed the demand by extensive ad-
vertising. This practice Of
substitution by the druggists
has grown to such an extent
that Mr.. Richardson invokes
the aid OF the newspapers in
its exposure and defeat. But
no one should allow themselves
to be thus swindled, especially
in the purchase of Simmons
Liver Regulator, the great rem
edy for indigestion and all liver
troubles. The genuine article
is stamped with a large red y
on the face of the package.
Take no other. Any substitute
for this is a fraud upon the pur-
chasers who invariably pays
the penalty in not securing the
relief to be had from taking the
genuine article.
