MORE POKER.

The poker case of Sage V. Nelson
is not alone in the list of scandals
that have arisen from the sporting
proclivities of members of the Gener-
al Assembly of 1902. Another inter
esting incident came to light today
II the shape of two protested checks
which had been rendered in payment
for chips in one of the poker sessions
by well known member of the
House. The man who drew the checks
was a loser, and bought So worth of
chips at two periods of the game. Civ
ing in payment two checks of SO each
on the Waterbury National Bank.
Both came back protested and the
gentleman who cashed them was as
sessed 50, 0S postage and fees.
Later he approached the legislator
regarding the matter and received n
promise to pay, but later he refused
to do so and the gentleman who sold
the chips has the checks and protest
slips as a souvenir of the game.

SAW TOOTH HOLDER.

Attorney t. j. Deavitt has just Sc
cured the allowance of patent on a
saw tooth holder for Henry A. Tracy
and l.. j. Roberts of Waterbury. MIR,
Tracy, who runs the saw mill of Mr.
Roberts in that town, is the inventor
of the continuance and has assigned to
his employee half interest in order
to secure capital to push the matter
along. The invention is an arrange
ment for holding tooth of the great
circular board saws for the purpose of
filing or swaging These large saws
as now made have detachable teeth
and his invention will greatly facili.
tate the work of keeping them in prop
er trim. A s soon as the final papers
arrive, which will probably be in a
week or two, it is planned to put an
agent ON the road and proceed to the
manufacture of the article. The hold
er is all cast iron and the model was
made at the Lane Manufacturing Co.

A WORKING MAN.

Swart with CRIME and hard of hand,
Toiling from the early morn:
Till across the darkening land,
Are the evening shadows borne.
Toiling for narrow wage,
Little hope beyond the day!
Dreary such a pilgrimage
Dreary such a trudging way.
Yet, when wife and BARNS at night,
Greet him as the loving do,
Babe on knee, and pipe alight,
And the days long labor through.
Rests the toiler as he may;
Laughs the toiler as he can;
Many a king at close of day,
Envies this poor working man.

81. JEAN BAPTIST.

The local lodge of the Society ST.
Jean Baptiste held box party and
dance in their hall in the Lawrence
block last night which was decided
success. The object of the sociable
was to raise money for the new Cath
Ollie church and to the end of making
it a success committee was appoint
ed for it's management. The young
people turned out we'll and the soci-
ety's object was attained.
Although the entertainment was
not desig ned to that end, it happened
that the observance of the thirty
fourth anniversary of the founding
of the local branch of the society
could we'll be made then, and by many
members the occasion was made an
anniversary one.
The local branch of the society was
organized December II, 1869 Mitchell
Ladue being the prime mover in the
organization. About seventy-five mem
bers were taken in at once, which put
the society on the sound basis which
it has always maintained. OF the or
ignal members but five are now
alive, they being 7. Allard, Peter
Marcott, Alphonse Hamel, James Ham
ell, and Sarafin Neveaux. About a year
ago the society had perhaps its lowest
stand so far as membership is concern
ed, there being at one time only about
thirty members An effort has been
made recently, however, to secure
greater membership and as a result
there are now eighty-five enrolled
members which makes the society
again strong. Financially the organ
ization is we'll off and has been
throughout it's life. The dues are not
heavy, they amounting to only So a
year to member, with an assessment
of 81 for each death. The society
has paid more than S., since its
founding for the aid of sick members.
A member while sick or disabled can
draw So week for twenty weeks in
a year In this manner the society has
at times been of great service to the
community. 1t now has over 81, 100
in the treasury.
The prime object of the society is
the preservation of the French Ian
guage, the native language of the
members. Only French is allowed to
be spoken in meetings, of the society
and it is essential to membership to
be of French descent and of the Rom
an Catholic faith. The present Off
GERS are: President. Joseph Ouillette !;
vice. president, II. Minard; second
vice president, Louis Geroux; secretary.
George White; treasurer, Sarafin
Neveux; collector, Napoleo Damn
cOuse.

REFERENDUM BALLOTS

The ballots for the referendum vote
are still occupying much discussion
in official circles. The circular letter
sent to the county clerks the other
day by the secretary of State did not
wholly clear up the situation. 1t ap-
pears that the section of the bill re-
lating to the arrangements for the
referendum ballots was hurriedly
drawn and it was supposed by many
that it was left so that the ballots
would be prepared by town clerks as
is done for town Representatives AS
the law reads, however, the county
clerks must prepare the ballots as
they do those for the State and county
officers at freeman's meeting.
County Clerk Smile was in confer
ence yesterday afternoon with the Sse-
cretary of State as to the best and
clearest way Of putting the question
to the people. AS result of the
conference a form was decided on and
copies of this will be certified to each
county clerk in the State next Mon
day. Later copy of this and ex-
plantations which will prevent pos
sible mistakes will be sent to each
newspaper in the State for publica-
ton. 1t is intended to have it so
everyone will know how to vote on
this question.
