SUSSEX COUNTY
HAS Two TICKETS
Unions Rejecting Republican
Proposition, Make COHn-
ter Proposition

Georgetown, Oct. 17.-Union Repub-
licans have rejected the proposition Of
the Republicans to divide the nomina-
lions ON the county and legislatiyel
tickets, and two separate tickets are in
the field.
The Union Republicans submitted
this proposition:
Robert G. Houston-Sir: In answer
to your communication that the Re
publicans be conceded one-third of the
county ticket as nearly as can be ar 1
rived at. that is one nominee of the
Legislature from each of the five
senatorial districts, two of the nomi- |
nees for county offices, and three mem
bers Of the Levy Court. | am directed
by the Union Republican County Com
mittee OF this county to convey to you
their definite declination of the fore
going propositions. The committee, of
which l have the honor to be chair
man, regard the proposition as not
only subversive Of the plain right of
the people of this county to nominate
candidates for Office by the normal
and constitutional methods, of open
primaries, and by majority rule, but
II acceded to and brought about by
the arbitrary action OF this commit
tee, in view Of the large concessions
already made by the Union Republi-
can party of this state, full OF peril and
grave menace to Republican success.
They are unaware of any sound or
; equitable reason why majority rule
should not prevail in the county of
, Sussex, as we'll as in that of New Cas-
? tie.
"In order. however, to allay any
suspicion OF undue desire to grasp a
factional advantage in the matter,
am instructed to make to your com
3 mittee the following proposals.
z "'That your committee remove your
entire ticket, that the majority ticket
e be endorsed and placed upon your Of
p fetal ballot, and if acceded to, tC
$ pledge to your organization the fol-
d lowing Obligations:
s First-That the factional lines
d shall be cast aside. and the patronage
;. of the county shall be eQuitably dis
e tributed between the two organizations
.- in each district in proportion to tn,
Z vote at the ensuing election.
't 'Second-That the Union Republi
1t cans Of the Legislature from this cOun
p ty--those 90 Doe elected as wen as thos
ID already elected-shall cast their vote
for two candidates for the Senate o
s. the United States each candidate t.
e be the untrammeled choice Of TIN
.r members Of each faction
& "The committee has requested m
h TO submit to you the above as the onl.
ID feasible line of action at this hour ann
g, Go ask your acceptance Of the sam
for the sake OF an the great interest
a- at stake both nationally and in th
r. stale. Yours respectfully,

 The plans arranged to keep all intoxi- eating drink away from the Conn. Ma tional Guard camp al Niantic this year leads the New Haven Palladium to re. mark:
 General Frost's determination to keep the whlskey supply mile away from camp is commendable. But he'll have to watch out for some of those near. sighted fellows, who will be apt to mis- judge the distance and load up on "for. ty rod" When the Boer war is settled, 1t is said, Lord Roberts will be created g duke, and have an annuity of $500. .00t settled upon him.

The games now stand Lime Rock 8, Norfolk 1. The fifth and last game of the series will be played on the Lime Rock grounds Saturday, Aug. %. No red fire was burned in Norfolk Saturday night. Instead sense of remorse per- vaded the quiet little town especially in quarters where the ball tossers who op- posed the Lime Rock club have so often been feted. Norfolk went into the game with the expectation of winning but before the game was half over the Norfolk fans more than realized the home clubs finish. It is reported that at Norfolk Saturday evening ball play CT could not be found only with a search warrant.

and after laying around few days it becomes unfit for the hogs, when 1t is dumped into barrels and sold at small figure and sent to the renovating shop, and melted up, a chemical production added, to assist in clearifyIng, then tal- low is added to give it body and make it stand up, then it is printed up in pound bricks and wrapped in plain parchment and put on the market as butter" He says i've sell it for from three to five cents under creamery but ter. It tastes very good, so long as you don't know how it is made"
 You can see fraud on the very face oi this production. Then to know that hundreds of pounds of this butter was sold tho past winter in your own town as butter, It is wrapped up nicely and has every appearance of being, what ii is intended to pass for, viz creamery butter. As a general thing creamery, and the best dairy butter, is stamped with the producers name, so that when merchant says to purchaser "I have creamery butter at such a price, but here is nice butter that can sell you for five cents less," just note whether il has a reputation, or is put up plain. Il the latter you can imigane, and you will say prefer to know what I put on my l table if it does cost little more.
 The question is, do our merchants dc right to offer to sell renovated butter without letting people know what it isi ONE WHO KNOWS,

At the annual meeting of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union of America closed at Philadelphia last week, it was voted to hold the next convention at Hartford. During the convention Mrs LM. Lake of St. Louis made Q remarks- ble address which caused profound sensation and which has since been commented upon universally by the press. She spoke for an hour upon the growing habit of drunkenness among tho women especially fashionable" women and those who are designated as the -four hundred" She went into the subject in detail and clinched her arguments by positive proofs. That the habit of intemperancs and intoxica- ton is rapidly growing among the 50 called "best" class and society ladies of even our small cities of Connecticut is a fact known to nearly every man who travels at all in society. It is sad sight to see man addicted to the drink habit but when woman lowers herself to such . vice she loses the respect of every honest man be he drunksrd or to- tal abstainer.

Renovated Butter.
Editor of Neaos:

Editor of Netos:
 After reading the article on butter. published in last weeks NEWS headed Photographic Tests," which by the way, should be carefully read by every lover of health, I was forcibly reminded that Renovated Butter" would soon appear at our doors and claim the right of way before all honest butter.
 What is renovated butter? I can tell you what one of the largest wholesale dealers in butter in Hartford told the writer, of the manner of making reno vated butter. He says "you know that there is every grade of farmers butter from the filthiest production that is not even in the likeness of butter up to a fair grade that is sold to merchants for which small price, in trade, is paid,
