Very Broad Interpretation In Favor of
 the Opponents of Saloons.

Very Broad Interpretations In Favor oi
 the Opponents of Saloons.
 The supreme court of the state has put the broadest possible interpretation on the law of 1893 allowing appeal to the superior court from a decision of the county com missioners granting license to sell spirituous and intoxicating liquors to ''any taxpayer of the town in which the busi- ness carried on under such license is to be- transacted. who shall be aggrieved." Judge Baldwin in a recent decision says:
 "Every owner of property. assessed in the grand list of the town in which he re- sides, has a substantial interest in the prosperity and good order of that town. The expense of the local police of any town, as well as of criminal proceedings before the local tribunals. is largely de- pendent upon the number of liquor sa- looms and bar rooms within its limits and the character of those who keep them.
 If licenses are granted with too free n hand, or without proper discrimination, the burdens of taxation are likely to be in creased. Every taxpayer therefore has n certain though it may be small pc cuniary interest in having the license law well administered, and if he is also a resi- dent in the town where he pays his taxes, he has an additional interest. common to every citizen, in promoting the general welfare of the community.
 ''In view of these considerations. we think that any resident taxpayer of town who feels aggrieved at the granting of a li- cense for the sale of liquor therein, has the right to appeal under the act of 1893, and that he is not bound to show any grievance or interest in the matter peculiar to himself, either in his own motion for an appeal before the county commission CTS or by reason of appeal in the superior court

A norse's Long Memory.

One of Orrin IlickOk's stories shows what n long memory some horses have. Some years ago Hickuk and Doblc owned Elmo, 2:27. by Mohawk, son of Long Is land Black Hawk. While Inc had him the horse would not lie down in the cars, and being very largo he was knocked about. Hickok taught him to lic down by tapping him on the knees. Seventeen years after parting with the horse IIickok came across him at the California Statc fair George Morrow made n bet of $50 with some one that Hickok could mako the hnrsc lie down, which Orrin thought was risky, us he had not seen Elmo for so long, and ny the terms of the bet he was not allowed to enter tho stable. However he hracCd up, and going to thu door said, Elmo come here, you rascal.' At those car,'SS- ing words Elmo turned round and walked up to him. With n gcSturc toward his knees HickOk then said, Lie down. you rascal, lie down" The hurSc turned ruund like a dog and lay down.

 Constable Egan to-day served papers on Dr J. F. Hayes in a suit for sl00 damages. The allegations were that in May of this year he was called on to attend Thomas McKenna. The case was diagnosed as acute hepatitis or liver complaint. Doc tors O'Hara and Axtelle were called later monla. He is to-day cured Dr Hayes was asked to pay the doctors bills of $40 and no case would be brought. He re- fused, claiming that his services and work were perfectly proper. The case is brought by Attorney Pierce and is return able before Justice Bronson August l. Meriden Record The greater portion of the selectmen's time last night was taken up by discussing the great ball game of next week. The Waterbury board of se- lectmen was over here yesterday and it has been decided to have the game begin at o'clock on the forenoon Of Wednesday Aug 1. The Waterbury men say that their team will be composed of officials who have their headquarters at the City hall. This. of course gives them a chance to select from the city officials, so it will also give the local management little more leeway. Selectman Pinney will not play. but 1 he will be on the coach line hammering his men with his tongue The visitors do not know how they will come over. by train or four horse team The chances are in favor of the team as it is probable u at they will become SC enchanted with the beauties of tho park and vicinity that they will be utter ly oblivious of time and all else so they will remain late. A supper will probably be given them. but whether tht large cohort they will bring with them will be admitted at less than dollar head i: a question.

2 SMALL SIZED RIOT.
Fight Between the Consolidated Rail-
 road and the Traction Co.

road and the Traction Co.
 BnIDGEPoRr. July 26.-Bridgeport has been treated to a small sized riot to-day, the belligerant parties being the New York. New Haven t Hartford Railroad Go and the Bridgeport Traction Go. The city was almost a disinterested spectator, it being distinctly a struggle of two powerful cor porations. The huge crowd who looked on was divided in its sympathies. although with the Traction Company. The fight was the culmination of the legal battle between the companies. The Trac- ton Go has maintained that they had the right to cross the railroad tracks in the city. and the Railroad Go was equally de- termined to prevent such an outcome until at least the difference between the two companies had been settled in court. In- cidentally the police and United States authorities were called into the affair and but little was needed to- pre- cipitate a riot between the employees of the two corporations. The fracas took place at the Main street crossing. Early in the morning the Traction Co had sue ceeded in putting their tracks over the Fairfield avenue west crossing and the Railroad authorities provoked at this determined to circumvent further attempts at the Main street crossing. Trains were drawn up in line so that no horsecars could be got over the tracks or rails laid. When the workmen attempted to lay rails the engineer cruelty poured hot steam on them. The Traction Go put a hose on n hydrant near by and de- layed the train crews. who responded by throwing Jumps of coal into the crowd. There were only two policemen on duty. Captain Birmingham arrived with a squad of police and arrested the engineer and fireman and United States Marshal Strong succeeded in moving the trains on the south track while the north track remained blockaded. An injunction was served on the Traction Go this noon.

BITS FROM EDMUND RUSSELL.

Beauty, as defined by Delsartc, is com plcxity, provided therc Is harmony in all the parts.
 One tone in color dwclt upon Is as mo notonous one tone on the piano. Range in color, with harmony, must exist in all beautiful dress and decoration.
 The oriental color scheme is generally rcd, bluo and yellow, but ingenious use of complcxity in design suborSiinat,s tho primitive tints and gives beauty.
 Plain surfaces in dress and house deco ration arc to be avoided unless fashioned in great eomplexity, thus giving, in variety of graceful line, the rcquisite beauty.
 Do not bc afrnid of massing colors. In. stead of spattering blue spots in old china, cushions or draperies about a room, mass them in ono corner. Have an oriental cor ner. if you choose, with pillows, screens, drapcrics and bric-a-brao in those topea which form rich color chords
