.ABoUr "nooNsHlNERs.,, ;,

If the truth was told in congress the
 other day there has been a good dea l of moonshine in the talk and writing about the ''moonshiners" of some of the southern States. It was asserted that
 a large part of the government money
 used to detect and punish moonshiners
 is paid to spies and informers who are
 not officers of the law, but belong to the lowest order of the mountain population of those States and of Georgia. MT.
 Settle of North Carolina contended that
 the appropriations made annually for
 the support of the federal courts and
 the officers of the internal revenue ser
 vice were ample, and that the special
 fund was most demoralizing and pro-
 ductive only of evil. In North Carolina
 alone there were 919 commissioned rev. enue officers last year, and if there were
 added the deputy marshals and other
 employees of the revenue service the to-
 tai would exceed twelve hundred men
 employed to break up illicit distilling
 In a practice of ten or twelve years in the federal courts he had found in try ing these cases that nearly every one founded on information was, at the worst, mere technical violation, for which no court would convict, and that the only effects were to entail cost on the government and to harass inno- cent citizens and impose upon them loss of time and heavy expenses that were often more than they could afford. The appropriation added nothing to the efficiency of the service, but it set a premium on turpitude and rascality The informers who inaugurate the pros cautions are worthless men, despised by the entire community, yet at their in- stance citizens are arrested, often taken several hundred miles from home, put at large expense for attorneys and wit nesses, and when declared innocent they have no redress.
 Another member who had been district attorney in Alabama during MT. Cleveland's first term, corroborat ed these statements and said that he found the system so corrupt and the witnesses so degraded and of belief, that he prohibited the clerk from ever subpoenaing any of them. He said that some United States commissioners conspired with the inforners and divided the fees, and that one in Alabama had been con victed on fifteen or twenty counts in an indictment for conspiring with in- formers to make fees for himself as ! United States commissioner. He re- nembered one case where it cost the

Three Hundred Blossoms on a Single Plan'
 in the Open Air in Mid-Winter.
 A plant that blossoms in the open air
 of this climate at this season is a good
 deal of a curiosity to most Waterbury
 people, hence the stream of visitors to
 the rose garden of Mrs. c. H, Perkins, | No. 23 Walnut street. Mrs. Perkins
 garden Is the Mecca of all her friends
 and acouaintances. and many strang-
 CTS. too. in '.fiowery June," when from
 200 to 300 rose bushes of almost as many
 different varieties can be seen in full blossom, but now in iniAwinter, while these are all at rest, there is still an
 attraction there for flower lovers. It is
 a five-year-old specimen of the Helle-
 borus Niger, or black hellebore plant,
 known in every day English as the
 Christmas rose, The plant, or one very
 like it, was thought by the ancients to
 be cure for insanity, and 1t is certain
 that man would have to be pretty
 well out of his senses not to be brought
 back again by simply looking upon this specimen of Mrs. Perkins, whatever it's medicinal properties may be. The plant is growing in earth frozen as hard as granite and at the present time covers a space may be ten feet i'll circumfer- ence. The bright green leaves are long and narrow and the plant has the sprawling appearance of monster lob ster cactus. Right over the bulbous root and in the center of the green fol- iage are the blossoms, one solid mass of white and pink nearly two feet in diam eter. The individual blossoms, which are the waxy white of the tube rose when they first unfold, turn to a deli cate and then deeper shade of pink as they grow older, and are very much like the clematis in appearance. The plant comes first into flower in Novem- Der and continues in full bloom all win ter long and until late in the spring. There are at present probably 300 blos- soms on the plant in Mrs. Perkins garden. Of course both buds and blos- soms freeze solid every day of the cold weather, so that they can be broken off like icicles. but this does not dis courage the plant in the least, for it | seems to thrive on what would be the | the very worst abuse for almost any | other variety of plant life. It is enough | to make anyone who loves flowers feel | uncomfortable to SC the thing blossom ing there in the snow, uncovered from the biting winter air, but it seems to ] smile back at you as though sorry for | mans ignorance. Like all plants in | flower it requires plenty of water, even though the water freezes upon leaf and | and upon the hard earth. as soon as applied Mrs. Perkins is quite | proud of her Helleborus Niger, and well | comes all corners most cordially.-Wa- terbury American.

| SISTER GO UGHNO UR'S SUIT.
 There is Society in New York. There
 is also Society in New Haven. And
 there Is Society in NIcKees Rocks, a
 suburb of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania,
 There are people who may think it
 strange that there is Society in the lat
 ter place, but such people do not under
 stand human nature, and so do not
 know that where Woman is there is
 Society, even though the interior of
 Africa be the place The Society of
 McKees Rocks is well organized, and appears to be the real thing. The
 managers of it act as those having au-
 thority and fully conscious of their
 privileges and duties. In the exercise
 of their privileges and the performance
 of their duties they felt impelled to snub Mrs. Goughnour, who believes
 that she is large part of the Society of McF<ees Rocks. She found out that she was not so considered the other evening when a ball was given for the delight and distinction of that Society. She was not invited, and she wants to know the reason why She has there fore brought a suit against the mana gers of the affair for $1O,0O0. It appears from her complaint that she is thirty five years old, that she is member of thA ah11 ol,o lent reputation. She has been gay
 and successful participant in other Society affairs at McTees Rocks, and it was at these affairs that she succeeded in demonstrating her superiority to the wives of the members of the committee as a dancer and an entertainer and that she received more attention than a dozen of her defamers punched to- gether, had such a combination been possible. It was, according to the com- plaint, the spiteful feelings and jealous dispositions of her rivals that caused | her admission to the recent ball, that | her superior charms might not be | brought into much prominence to the diminution of their own. She admits that this move of her rivals has caused | her a great deal of worry, and sets forth that because of this worry she has lost twenty-eight pounds of her beauti- ful flesh. She demands $357. 40 a pound for it.
 We hope that Sister Goughnour will succeed in getting paid for her twenty eight pounds of Goughnour. She has been i'll treated. Though her action in her suit for damages Is a lit- tie unusual there is no doubt that she is well entitled to place in the So- ciety of McKees Rock. She evidently has all the feelings of a Society wo- man, and she well knows how the other Society women feel against her. They have reason for their feeling, of course, but they have gone a little too far In attempting to obscure the charms and graces Of Sister Goughnour They will probably find before they get through that she will not only establish ] natural title to leadership in Society, put will also make her legal title clear. the time may come when Sister will be all the real Society here is in McKees Rocks.
