 Edward Rollins, who was sentenced to ninety days in jail in the police court yesterday on charge of solicit ing money under false pretenses, is q ypical crook. He had one of his hands done up in bandage. but upon examination it was found that there was nothing the matter with it. He pretended to be q cripple, while as matter of fact he was better able to work than many people who pitled nm and gave him assistance. He was selling blue cards on which appeared the following: Good luck to the pur- chaser of this card. Will you help a cripple. stranger. When you meet one in distress: While your soul is kept from danger Other souls are laid to rest. While you enjoy happy life There is nothing left for me. But soT- row. suffering and strife, Perhaps until l die. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Please give me something. Live and let live After reading the card and taking glance at the fearful c0untenance Of Rollins. the biggest miser in the world could fail to feel for him.
 Those who heard Judge Lowe de liver q political speech on Baldwin street Monday evening say he is the greatest orator in the city, and that Bryan wouldn't have been defeated had the judge gone on the stump for him. It is not exactly what the judge says that captivates his audience but the way he puts it. All the speakers on that occasion won tremendous ap- plause. It was remarkable that Homer J. Cummings and William Kennedy never were in better trim yet it was Judge Lowe who walked off with the cake. He was cheered Justify as soon as the chairman mentioned his name and was applauded all through his re- marks the vast assemblage almost gO- ing wild when he said: "I could leap over this yeranda and shake the hands of at least 800 persons whom l per sonaIly know. every mothers son and daughter in the crowd from Athlonp 10 TiDDeTary and from there to kilIar- neyr' The hOmely way in which he spoke conveyed the strongest possible friendship to those within range of his voice. and the use of the word ''leap' put the finishing touches upon if. It was just the word most of them would have used to express the same idea, and what made it sound all the better was that it came quite natural 10 the judge and consequently proved to be q master stroke.
 \ week agao tonight two New Brit- ain LithuaniGns were in q peck of trouble q the depot in this city. They had been. sent to Hartford by one of the factories of that place to swell the sound money parade which took place in the Capitol city. and were on their way home. but in some unaccOuntabln way wound up in Waterbury instead of New Britain. They could not speak English well enough to make them selves understood, and finally an in terpretPr was secured. when the facts aS stated herein were made known. They hadn't the price of their fare back and wanted the conductor to give them q free ride, but he wouldn't do it. and cOnsoled them by pointing in the direction of their homeland telling them to hOof it or wire the story of their plight to Mark Hanna. Whether the men got back by rail or on foot we have not been informed. but it is certain that they did not leave here on the car they tried to board Satur- day night But the walking was good Saturday night and Sunday and proba- ably they made" New Britain on shank's mare by Monday. One of them, big burly looking fellow. was very angry at the idea of not being al lowed to ride with or without ticket and thought that his Mckinley button should be accepted as a passport on the Consolidated road. Tn other words he was grievously disappointed tc learn that his politics didn't cut as much ice at the railroad station in the Brass city as they do in most of the factories in New Britain.
 
 Hugh Duggan, of Detroit, Mich brother Of the late Father Duggan who paid a visit to friends in Water bury during the present week, told the As You Like It man a story about his dead brother which those who knew Father Duggan will recognize as characteristic of the man.

Ont day Hugh and John Father' Duggai that was). were out rabbiting, whe1 they met few other boys with thre .z4 dogs and the first thing they knew tht strange canineS were onto "Pincher. q knew" said Mir Duggan, .'that ou dog would take care of himself bu John got excited and jumped in anon. them. I called him and he stepped over to find out what I wanted. I diC not care to let the other youngster hear me and beckoned him to come nearer, stating that I desired to whis per something to him. This made hin mad, and he turned away. with tn remark: s'What! Whisper. and fou dogs fightingt' While MT Duggal was relating this little incident, thought I could see the naughty toss O the head. the defiant shake of the hant and the look of grim determination st noticeable in Father Duggan as mal when things were going wrong witt him. So that. after all, there is deal of truth in the old saying:
 "What are men but boys grown tall "And hearts don't change much, afte
