Washington. Aug. ,5.-Aguinaldo may
come to this country to lecture. 1t was
stated at the War Department to-day that
letter had been received from a WELL
known anti-imperialist. asking If there was
any reason why Aguineldo might not be
brought to this country to lecture.
No direct reply was made by the War De-
partment. Instead a copy of the general
amnesty granting freedom TO all Filipinos
who would lay down their arms on July 1
was mailed TO the anti-imperialist. The in
ference of this was. of course, that there
would be no objection. Under the pro-
visions of the amnesty Aguinaldo is free to
do as he pleases.

A meek, unhappy taxpayer in medita- ton stood, X feeble smile upon his face, while his lips muttered: Good Lord, what would e'er become of me- Where would my troubles end If it wasn't for his honor, Oh! my best, my only friend The board of public safety soaks me every time it meets. The public works department lays me out for sewers and streets: The board of health and doctors would my purse and bank book rend. If it wasn't for his honor, Oh! my best, my only friend.

 New Britain, April 19.--A case of suspected smallpox was found yestcr- day in a house on North street by Dr Stone, who is taking the place of Dr Clark as chairman of the health board during the latter's absence from the city. Several days ago man went to the house in question from Northa mp- ton and yesterday came down with a rash. The house was already under quarantine owing to the presence of Q ease of scarlet fever there and pr Stone was called to diagnose the new case. Besides the rash other symp- toms indicated smallpox, but the dis ease, if such, was not sufficiently dc yeloped to permit of a definite diagno- sis until to-day. Dr Stone reported the matter to Chief Rawlings and the se- lectmen and town health officer were also notified. They decided to leave the case in the hands of the city off, cials.

TWENTY EIGHT CENTS A DAY
Is All That Prisoners Are Allowed at
 ..Rrnolzside Home"

ssBrookside Home"
 Clerk of the City Court McMahon Iil- formed Judge Burpee this morning that prisoners who are sent to the aims house or who may be taken there ih- stead of the county jail, are allowed only 2S cents a day while working out their fine. He did not see how the SUI perintendent of the almshouse figured up this allowance, or on what grounds it was made, or by what power or au- thority or source of information or any thing at ali connected with 1t, was found or established, but the fact re- mained that only 2S cents a day Is al- lowed prisoner while working out fine in the almshouse or Brookslde home.
 Judge Burpee held that this was not right. Tn the county jail prisoners. ac- eording to the statutes, are allowed Sl day for working out. a fine or jail sentence. and he did not know of the authority, lawyer as he is, upon which the authorities of the Brookside home fAllowed only 2S cents day. He in- Nstructed Clerk NIcMahon to look up the law on the subject. He believed that there was q small statute somewhere III IUe DOOkS WHICH ullOWeu pdftlSS holden in the almshouses as prisoners as much as they are allowed in the common jail. which is S1 a day.
 Previous to the last legislature the allowance was 90 cents a day. but tue legislature for some reason that las not yet been discovered and probably will never he discovered now, raised the sum to $1 a day. No one so far as known, ever asked the legislature to do this: no one appeared in behalf or against the measure; in fact no one seemed to have the slightest interest or to have heard of the bill until after the legislature was dead and buried, wien it was discovered in the books. The idea of raising the sum is still as great q mystery as is the sonree of the bill. It cannot effect a change in sentences for the principal purpose of a sentence is to inflct punishment. md it makes no difference to the sentencing judge whether or not 20 cents or S1 n day is allowed. for the higher the allow ance the longer he makes the sen tence.
 So far as the superintendent of the Brookside home is concerned. he Ia only following precedent in allowing only 2S cents day.

Commissioners Decided Against Leary

and Moynihan To-day.
 The county commissioners to-day handed down their decision in the two saloon cases of Andrew Leary and Andrew Moynihan. In each case the application for a continuance of the liquor license was refused, thus sis- taining the remonstrance of the Rev Father Curtin, Earl Smith and N. R. Bronson. Prosecuting Agent Pierce notified Attorney Carmody, counsel for the liquor dealers, that his clients will be allowed reasonable time ill which to dispose of their stock. by which he meant they may continue business un- til this evening. An appeal will not be taken, as such step would not avail anything. The liquor dealers could not continue business pending the decision of the superior court and it is taken for granted if an appeal were taken the decision of the commissioners would be upheld
