form, the last republican National platform says 1--WE
condemn all conspraces and combinations intended to
restrict business to monopolies to limit pro-
ducon, or to control prices" Truly, these declara
tions have strangely democratic sound but that is
thing with the republicans. Promise is one
thing; performance is another. Time out of mind the
republicans have made democratic promises to the
people which are never kept.

POLICE COURT DoINGs.
Ninety Days in Jail for Wife Beat


 The case against Charles A. Granger for assaulting a trolley car conductor was continued to-day in the city court by Judge Burpee.
 Philip Brady got intoxicated Satur- day and beat his wife. Mrs Brady said she had borne all that human flesh could stand. She has supported her husband during the past nine months in idleness and she would have been content to do so longer had he not struck her. This she thought was the straw that broke the camel's back. Brady got ninety days ill jail. He is a brass molder by trade.
 Friday afternoon the Polish colony in Brooklyn held picnic on the Mid dlebury road. On the return home Louis Morkins got into a dispute with Mary Patritiss husband. The trouble began in q joke and ended in a black eye for Mrs Patritis and $1O and costs for Morkins.

The witnesses were a dozen small boys and girls, the eldest not over [ years of age. The idea of ad- ministering the oath to such children was ridiculous, not to mention all the time that was lost hearing the case. sentence was suspended.

CIRC, $ NETTED 31 CENTS.
Waterville Boys Formed Stock Com,
 pany and Gave Show.


 The small boys of Waterville gave circus Saturday afternoon and the af- fair wound up i'll far better clrcus than that which had been advertised. The idea originated with half dozen boys and thereupon they collected all the pet animals and birds they could borrow. Some how they also got half dozen teams and with the pet ami mals and birds in cages and one or two boys and little girls who were willing to throw in a little work as their share of the capital, dressed up as wild men and women. They made quite show ing through the 'yille.
 But the real fun came after the cir GUS. The parade being ended, the au- dience gathered under a small tent on hillside in the east end of the vile. Admission was at the rate of cent head and Z cents for reserved seats. There was lemonade and peanuts and red soda water and whole lot of things that looked nicer than they tasted and which could find a peaceful abiding place only ill the digestive apparatus of the invulnerable small boy
 The circus was quite delightful and greatly enjoyed and everything went as smoothly as well regulated circus until the receipts were counted up. It was found the net proceeds amounted to 31 cents, to be divided among the six stockholders. Here was the rub. As each stockholder claimed to have done all the work. each claimed he had the proper right to the odd cent. An awful time was imminent and some thing direful would certainly have hap pened had not a man arrived at that time looking for missing poll parrot 1 It turned out that one of the stock holders hau taken the parrot on the strength of his fathers acquaintance with the owner and that the latter would not nave given Ine bird for $1OG His state of mind alarmed the circus owners and leaving him to find his par Tot they scattered for home leaving the proprietorship of the odd cent un- settled.

It was accompanied by a thunderous noise and a shock of earthquake, while vol umes of dense vapor ascended to such height that they were visible from Kingstown.

Heavy Weights Will Furnish Wind
up of Lyceum Show MONDAY.

Chicago, Nov 2S!-Joe Choynski and
Frank Childs, two Of the best second
class heavy weights in the business, will
furnish the wind up of the boxing show
Monday night at the Glickman theater
under the auspices of the Lyceum Ath-
letic club. Manager Carroll closed with
the men yesterday and the forfeits for
the match were posted. The agreement
is for catch weights, al which ChOynski
will have at least fifteen pounds the
worst of it
Despite the fact that efforts have been
made for many months by different
matchmakers to get these hard hitting
heavy weights together, they have never
faced each other in the ring.
Choynski, although defeated lately, is
fighting well, and against a man of
Childs capabilities should put up an ex-
ira strong fight Childs has entirely
recovered from the injuries suffered in
his fight in Los Angeles with Jack John
son some time ago.
