DANBURY, Dec S.-There is no doubt
that the taxpayers will offer stout resist
ance to the payment of the appropriation
of $50. 900 voted at yesterdays town meet
ing for the aid of worthy poor. Other
conservative citizens believe that the
strikers made a serious mistake in packing
the town meeting and rushing through a
$50, 600 appropriation as though it was a
matter of no consequence whatever. The
selectmen who have the payment of the
money in their hands are of the opinion
that it should not be paid. Last night
they had a conference with Town Counsel
Scott concerning the matter. but what ad-
vice they received from the lawyer cannot
be learned 1t is said that the selectmen $
hands are tied as there is no money to

Facts Regarding Joseph CAsSidy's VIII
Which Is Being Contested.
The reports telegraphed from New Ha-
ven in relation to the trial of the Cassidy
will case, which declared that the decedent

soul, are entirely false.
The bequest was made to P. F. Nc
Alenny as an individual. no reference

The result of the trial hinges upon the
residence of the testator. In the will. he
declared himself to be temporarily re
siding in Meriden."

THE CHICAGO HOG SHOWING UP

1.-The porcine character of the trades
people, and all others who have any
thing to sell, is developing so rapidly
that they are being taken severely to
account by the press, and one paper adj
vises tourists, who can do so conven-
iently, to bring their food along. Al
ready most of the restaurants have
raised the price of coffee and tea sc and
and added &c to all cuts formerly sold
for 25c, and 10c to higher priced ones.
Pastry costs sc more a cut than for
merly, and all ordered meats and fish
are lesser in quantity than heretofore.
This was not done at all in Philadel-
phia or New Orleans and not done much
in Paris or Vienna. At the stores all
canned goods and groceries have been
advanced from % to so per cent. Sau-
sage has risen from Sc to l6c, and pork
chops from 10c to 15c. Tea and coffee
have been advanced from sc to 1Oc.
Beef has gone from 16c to 22c and 24c
per pound, and fish from l0c to 15c.
Servant girls, whose wages range from
$3.50 to $5 per week, are having meet
ings, and are threatening from 81 to SIP.
There are other petticoat trusts that are
making employers uncomfortable"
The above is from a private letter
written at Chicago. The writer goes on
to say that number of hotels have
been built to accommodate the great
crowd of people who will visit Chicago
during the time the fair is open He
says they are mostly fire traps, and that
two or more people will be put in
small room, which will cost each person
$2.50@$5 for lodgings only, and where
board will run the daily bill to $S@$1O.
It would look as if Chicago would be
very good place to stay away from this

WHY GOLD rs EXPORTED.

The Portland Dispatch says: "The
question naturally arises, what is all the
gold going out of the country for at
present? 1t is not being exported for
foreign speculation, but to pay debts due
the foreigners. Hence, if this gold is
used for this purpose, the obligations, be
they railroad, state, national or other
bonds, will be brought back in place of
the gold and In future, the interest on
these obligations will be paid to our own
citizens, and with our surplus exports
viii force this same gold back, and in
the end it will be better and a reaction
viii be the natural result. This export
simply means that foreign speculators
have been compelled to draw In their
Investments in this country and that
there is the necessary coin here to meet
this demand; besides the securities are
sought in this country as investments.
1t is very evident that our government
can stand the strain and successfully
meet all its obligations. The resources
OF this country have not yet been fully
tested"
Against this statement is that of the
Wall street Investigator, which ascribez
q totally different cause for the export OF
gold. That paper says:
sit is not necessary to go far to find
the explanation for the continued ex-
ports of gold. The foreign trade figures
for the port of New York alone furnish
this. In the past week the imports o1
foreign merchandise at New York were
valued at SIS, ,575 ,594, and the exports al
only sc, ,006, ,746, which must be paid fol
IN something besides goods. Since Jan
nary 1st, the imports at this port ex.
ceeded the exports by 500, $40, ,756, anG
the movement still continues. How il
this large balance against us to be set
tied? We are not selling Europe any
big amount of our securities, and the
only other way to make payment is tc
send gold, as we are doing.
