Doings of Day in Naugatuck and Union /
City.
NAueATUcK. Nov 29.-Some months |
since Justice Schwenk tried Saloon Keeper |
Thomas for selling to minors. He pleaded |
guilty and the justice fined him IS and |
costs, which he paid. No continuance or
appeal was asked for. short time since |
Thomas made application for renewal of
his license. which was opposed on the
ground that he had been convicted of VIC
lating the law. Last week parties came
here from out of town and advised with
Schwenk to open the case claiming that he
had the right. He notified the ex-prose-
cutting attorney, who appeared and denied
his right and asked for a continuance I'M
til yesterday morning. which he supposed
he obtained. The justice in the meantime
| allowed Thomas to alter his plea to not
guilty, and as there was no evidence, dis
| charged him, and We hear ordered the
| treasurer to pay him back his fine.
Yesterday at New Haven Mr. Kennedy
| represented Thomas before the commits
sioners, and used the certificate of dis
charge obtained on Saturday, claiming
that they had no right to go back of it.
Mr. Terry and Mr. Storrs were both here
yesterday, and claim that Schwenk has ex-
ceeded his powers. Many of our citizens
| express themselves as not being opposed
to Mr. Thomas having license, but do o.
| ject to our Justices court being made a
| farce, or our justices being made the dupes
of designing parties.

Men Are Not Interesting Invalids.
Women take only too kindly to the
role of an invalid; the sofa, the fieecy
white shawl, the little cups of beef tea
or plates of oysters. Once let a woman
; taste the dreamy pleasures of this sort
, of existence, and unless some shock OF
sense of duty rouses her she will calmly
continue for the rest of her days in the
pleasant path before her. She smiles
sweetly at the little attentions offered
her, she dresses in the daintiest of semi.
toilets, and she looks so pretty and gen,
tie and patient that it seldom dawns on
her husband that the existence is an ig.
noble one. But let my lord fall i'll, and
oh. dear, what different tale to tell!
: The valet comes flying from the room
followed by boot, the cook gives notice
because the master called the beef tea
'beastly stuff, - the housemaid is in tears
because she is not allowed TO sweep OIL
dust the sickroom Man, noble man. is
pitiful object when he is sick. Gel
him thoroughly i'll and he is better pa
tent than a woman, but if he is merely
: laid up for day or two with a cold or q
bilious attack he persistently kicks in
stead of wisely enjoying the rest which 6
benefcent nature has imposed on him.
