Views of an acknowledgement.
THE EGIs


In your issue of September Goth, in an
editorial, you say: "a wholesome lesson,
however, has been learned future grand
juries, having the interest of the taxpayers
at heart, will examine very carefully the
character OF those testifying as we'll as
the evidence they give
AS a member of the recent grand jury l
would like to ask if you do not think
when grand jury has dismissed twenty
SIX cases tor lack OF evidence, thirteen of
winch were sent up by magistrates; when
1t has spent every hour of it's time in the
most dlllgent discharge of its duties, adj
Journing Saturday afternoon barely in
time to allow its members to reach their
homes that day, and when certain mem
beers OF said jury have stayed away from
their homes and business during the en-
tire session, excepting on Sunday, and
have labored as late as II O'Clock at
night III order to facilitate the business
before it, ask, do you not think that
such a grand jury has had the interest of
the taxpayers at heart?
Furthermore do you think that we
should have put the county to the great
expense of sending to distant cities to
search out, summon and bring witnesses
before us as to a mans character, when he
was brought before us as the agent of
some of our best and most highly respect
ed citizens who are spending both time
and money to preserve law and order in
the county, and when his testimony was
against persons who, in their respective
communities are known to be open viola
tors of the law, and should we have put
this additional expense on the county,
especially when we know the whole mat
ter could be decided in one test case, as is
now being done?
1t is this habitual violation of the law
which sproducing general Disregard for
all law throughout this county and every
effort to enforce the law should have the
most ardent support of all good citizens
and especially of all our journals which
have the best interest of the community
at hart.
In conclusion let me say that am not
in any way connected with the Law
and Order League, nor am | a Prohibi-
ZIONIST in politics, but only one who
wishes to see the laws of the county ell
forced and this general disregard for law
stopped.
Yours very respectfully,

A Letter From Mr.. Nicholson.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 80,

BALTIMORE, Sept. 30.
EDITOR EGIs AND INTELLIGENcER:
In your issue of September 26. in dis
cussing the investigation concerning the
character of the evidence given i'll the
Fisher liquor case, you see fit to use the
following language: This action of
Mr.. Nicholson opens question as to
whether or not he is anxious to get at
the records of Wien and Pcrsol, the
prosecuting witnesses, or is he only try
ing to punish the Baltimore detectives for
testifying against the State"
As you have seen fit to ask this question
before the people of Hartford county, will
you do me the favor to give the same
publicity to the question as to what in
tercst you have in raising such question,
and what grounds you have for raising
it Is it your purpose merely to try by
innuendo to establish that which you
dare not affirm as fact or even sus-
picion, or do you desire to relieve in part
the Baltimore detectives from the criti-
cism of interfering in matters with which
they had no business?
Let me say briefly that the writer has
the same interest in finding out the record
of any prosecuting witnesses used by the
organization he represents, that he has

of the Police Department of Baltimore or
any other city have i'll being the chief

THE FAIR.

The Hartford County Fair was opened
on Tuesday with an attendance rather in
excess of the usual first days crowd,
which is generally made up of exhibitors
and persons directly interested in the ex-
hibition. The day was cool and pleasant,
the sun frequently hiding behind the
clouds until late in the afternoon, when
more diSagrccable weather set in. Rain
then began to fall, continuing through
out the night. The grounds had been
put i'll excellent condition and the track
lately improved through the energetic
work of those having the fair in charge.
Nearly all the exhibits were in proper
places by the middle of the day and pre-
scented one of the most interesting exhibit
tons ever displayed on similar occasions.
one of the most noticeable of the exhibits,
and one which received high praise from
all who viewed it, was that shown in the
ladies department, where an extensive
display of household goods of every de-
Scription, nicely arranged and classified,
attracted the eyes of all visitors. 1t con-
tanned not only things pleasing to the pal
ate but also such handiwork of our Har-
lordladies as VIC all might well be proud of
There were large quantities of bread,
rolls, biscuits, buns, cakes, pies, fruits,
Jams and jcllies, and all articles Of finery.

could manufacture into things of beauty

Largest collection of live snakes" ride on
the "merry-go-round;" "hit the coon,"
or visit "a red hot show"
One of the most attractive features OF
the fair in the way of amusemcnts, was
the "AIelville High Class Novelty Com,
| pany," which gave daily exhibitions in
front of the grand stand. This was a
most creditIblc performance and, indeed
was we'll worth the price of admission
The three Rcnos, i'll their pantomimic
acrobatic tcats could not he excellcd III
any first class vaudeville theatre. The
bicycle riding of the Armstrong; was
unique and sensational in their cycle
whirl performance;whileC alvo, the Cubar
wire walker performed some remarkable
feats OF balancing on slack wire. Good
rich's trained horses showed almost
human intelligence.
The racing this year was of the highes
class. Many fast horses ofnote were pres
ent and competed for purses and stakes
larger than have ever been given before
in Hartford county. A summary of eacl

CARRIE NATION.

Carrie Nation came to town on Tues
day last, arriving about one P. NJ. and
going straight to the fair grounds. She
was attired in a black dress, over which
was a linen duster, black bonnet, and
Il handsatchcl strapped over her houlders.
She is medium sized person, stout, with
Il round, fiat face, and wears gold spec
tacles. Upon her arrival at the grounds
she retired to one of the rooms under the
grand stand and shortly afterwards APP
pearcd dressed i'll white and bearing a
bundle in her arms containing her photo
graphs and small hatchets which she
sells. In company with the president of
the association she started across the
grounds to the south end of the woman's
department, followed by a throng of peo-
pie, all anxious to get view OF tile
famous Kansas saloon Smashcr. Along
the route several of the side show people
who had evidently met the celebrity at
other fairs, shouted: "IIow are you Car
,'ic." She invariably returned their salu-
tations with smile and a wave of the
hand, responding, "How are you" Ar
irving at the platform i'll front of the
building, she lost no time in getting
down to business, being introduced by
the gallant President, who said:
Ladies and gentlemen! and particular
w you young men! You have often heard
of lady masher, now have the pleas
IRE of introducing to you Lady Smash

forth in TRADE against those who had
unwittingly appeared before her smoking
cigars. You smokers go way back and
sit down, don't want your dirty breath
blown in my face" she said, and then re
lated disag' ceablc experience she had on
the train that day from some smokers
aboard, and suddenly exclaiming you

laugh at the expense of the Republicans
present, but she Immediately ''countercd'
by saying: And you Democrats too;

nothing but anarchists" She held a
Bible in her hand while speaking, but did
not read from it, though quoting several
passages to bear out her remarks upon
the evils of selling and drinking liquor.
She related her experience i'll Bangor,
Maine, where she said she asked to be
