NO LICENSE.
Not Even Druggists' Licenses in No
 License Towns.

License Towns.
 One of the most important statutory provisions in relation to the sale of in- toxicating liquors has evidently been re- pealed by the last General Assembly. It has wiped out all provisions in regard to the license fee for druggists, and has absolutely forbidden the licensing of druggists to use for compnunding pre- scriptions and sell on physicians pre- scription Tn no-license towns.
 The purpose of the Legislature of 1897 was evidently to change only the first sentence of Section 3.0G4 relating to the manner of taking the license bond, but what it did do WAS to pass chapter 15i of the Public Acts and make Section 3.064 read in such a man her as to provide simply for the taking of bond and to eliminate all of tue provisions regarding druggists licenses
 The effect of this law is that while in license towns the county commissioners have authority to grant licenses, the provision as to the license fee is gone aud also the provisions that they shall not sell to be drunk on the premises or sell in quantities exeeeiing one gallon at time; but perhaps the greatest hardship connected with this statute is that it forbids the county commissioners from licensing druggists in some eighty towns in the state New Haven Palla. dium.

THAT BALL GAME.
NorfOlks Have an Easy Thing.


 The base ball game of last Thursday was too one sided to be interesting the Norfolk boys showing themselves to be in too good trim for Canaan to do any thing with. It has been impossible to get at the complete score since the game but tue reports are that Norfolk won by IS to f.
 Two innings were played before the rain, snd after the shower the tiresome other seven iuuings were played. Dur ing the downpour of water the players and spectators were under shelter on all sides of the grounds, having taken to the neighboripg porches and the lum- Der sheds,
 The batteries were; for Norfolk, Dew ell, Cornell and Tobey; for Canaan, Dodge, Nicoll and Dodge. "Hook" Thomson umpired the game in satis- factory manner to both sides, and one feature that helped to make this pos sible was the fact that Norfolk sent down the finest lot of fellows that ever came here to play ball. And they could Hay ball. The individual who was keeping the playing score got hungry and went home to supper dur ing the ninth inning SO that is not com plete but it shows that Atwood the sec- ond baseman of Norfolk is a good one and that Tobey can throw there every time.
 Billy" Riley, the new player on the Canaan team, did as we'll as his partners and made the only two base hit of the game. There were several hits which netted two or more bases but it was on account of poor throwing, not the hits. With the right amount of practice Can aan can play 30 per cent. better and we predict closer game the next time they meet Norfolk.
 There is game sceduled for to-day between the Canaan regular team and the veterans of the diamond. Such old time tossers as Lew, Rhoades. Clem, Beck, Burt Peirce, Ed Lorrsin, Stevens, "Chick" and others will sustain the rep utation of the "old club" Don't give too big odds on the regulars as this old team have been known to play ball
