MIR. BAYNARD's STATEMENT.
Is Not Opposed to the Passage Of the
LIQUOR License Division.

Representative Samuel Ii. Baynard, in
speaking of the bill before the Legisla-
ture to return to Wilmington share OF
the money received from liquor licenses
granted to people within the city limits,
says.
The statement in an evening paper to
the effect that l had opposed bill that
was before the Legislature and which
il passed would give to this city $4,000
annually from the liquor licenses, does
not do me justice. do not see how l.,
being ouly one out Of the fifty-two mem
bers of the Legislature, seven Of whom
are from this city, could throw wet
blanket on and smother the bill. This
is an unmerited compliment"
He stated that for the last twelve
years he with other citizens have APP
peared at each legislative session and
labored for an equitable adjustment OF
this fund. He continues:
No doubt that the members Of the city
council clearly proved that it cost this
city through its police department every
dollar that they asIaNare,9 properly guart

ness and justice is not the Levy Court
entitled to share of the fund? Was il
not the facts in the case that demoralized
our city fathers rather than any individ
ual opposition?

WILLIAMS AND WALKER.

The well-knOwn colored stars, Will Hams and Walker, who come to POli's on Friday evening in their original musical comedy, 'SOns of Ham," are no strangers to Waterbury theater- goers. They have played several en- agreements here in previous seasons. always with marked success, and the local public have freely endorsed the Judgment already and often passed on them by metropolitan critics, that they are the foremost cOlored entertainers of America. Bert Williams, who is the comedian of the pair, has written more coon songs, probably, than any writer in this country, and he sings them in style that is absolutely un- approachable. In presenting 'Sons of Ham" they have the assistance of a large company and the incidental ac- cessories of brilliant lighting effects and properties. An excellent perform ance is, therefore. assured. Sale of seats tomorrow at 9, 35, 50, 75 cents and $1.

MY DEAR OLD HOME"

There's a charm. I freely grant you, In the city's stirring life. In its hurry and confusion,
 In its commerce and it's strife; And there's many a truth-fraught lesson Learned in busy street and mart, That may make a spirit stronger, That may touch a hardened heartt But the sorrow of the city
 Dim the luster of its charm, And my soul cries out in secret
 For the Solace of the farm For it's spring-time gift of blossom, For its winters wealth of snow, For it's summers golden harvest,
 And its autumn's purple glow! True. the city has its snow-hakes,
 But their whiteness cannot stay, While the farms fair fields are spotlesS All the tranquil winter day; And I've seen the city's blossoms
 Seen its splendid flower shows" But my heart still craves the fragrance Of a sweet old-fashioned rose! There are riches in the city
 Wealth unreckoned and untold But my fancy leads me ever
 To field of living goldl There's a palace in the city
 Where they serve the ruby wine, But my mind still holds the picture
 or purple-cIustersd vine! An, there Is a charm, I grant you,
 In the busy urban life; Tn its hurry and confusion,
 In its commerce and its strife; But push the city fromyme,
 With its jewel-laden akm, To embrace the purer pleasures
 Of my dear old home-the Farml -Ltca NJ Neck, in Union Signal.
