STILL AHoThER DAILY FOR BRIDGEPORT


ANOTHER DAILY PAPER IN BRIDGEPORT.
Owing to the great scarcity of daily
papers In this city, and-In consideration
of the fact that our merchants, and those
in other lines of business find it difficult
to reach, through so few advertising me-
diums, all classes of people, we have de-
cided, after rejecting on the subject "a
hours, to commence the publication of
another daily newspaper in Bridgeport,
at an early date. Ii will consist of four
seven column pages, be printed in red
ink, and called The Park City Evening
Moon. Price, cent copy; five cents a
week. The Moon will have no opinions
of its own, being, like its heavenly name
sake, reflector of the eight of others"
No advertisers will be allowed over half
column space. This is made impera-
tive on account Of the anticipated great
rush for positions in this journal. 1t will
be aggressively inoffensive and vigorous
ly non-partisan whenever any other
course would inure to the advantage of
the Democratic Party. The editorial
page will be enlivened with "plase mat
ter" and the working of the ''coupop
racket" All reporters for The Evening
Moon will be mounted on bicycles. Keep
your eye on The Moon 1.-THE Star.

SPECIAL oRREsPoNDENoE OF THE BEE

The devil and his angels have the ad
vantage in one thing at least. their re-
putstion is made, and they have nothing
to lose. There is no use in calling them
names. There is nobody worse than they
are, and so you cannot add anything to
their notoriety. To call the devil liar
would be entirely superfluous. He is on
record from the beginning. And 80 of
any epithef you can think of, he owns i;
already and if you use it on him or any
Of his tribe, it falls fiat and stale, and
you have simply wasted your breath.
AS the sum is equal to all It's parts, and
is more. than any one of them, so the
name devil signifies more than any cata
logue of crimes and vices and hateful
terms which are necessary to describe
his character. He is the devil, and when
you have said that you may as well
stop.-[O. o. Wright.

"Red-Eye" Being Manufactured to Utilize
the Sugar Beet Crop.
OMAHA, Nov. 3.-The large yield OF
sugar beets in Nebraska and the inability
OF farmers to dispose of the vast quantity
as rapidly as convenient has provoked
some peculiar violations of the revenue
laws. A still has been captured in Sher-
man county from which whisky was be.
ing made from beets. 1t was owned by
Charles Reidil, farmer. Tho quality
was good and fears are entertained by
revenue officials that others will engage
in the business.
Deputy Eastman became aware some
months ago that such still was in opera
ton in that county from remarks made
by men in that ncighborhood. He be-
came very anxious to locate it, but was
handicapped from the start by the fact
that those who knew anything about it
were inclined to shield the operator and
protect him from the officers. The outfit
was all made of copper, of approved pat
tern and was in good condition.

when pension is fixed it should not
be afterward reduced or taken away,
though it frequently happens that evil

increased. Another thing we want is nni-

that these pensions be made uniform at
