WoRKINGMHN's CLUB.
Senator Tracy Spoke ar Meeting in
 Hartford Last Night.


 Hartford Last Night.
 The West Side Workingmen' club of Hartford had it's opening for the season in the Lawrence street school building last night The meeting was practically a reception to Colonel AL bert A. Pope, and the founder of the great bicycle company was honored in many ways. Senator Cornelius Tracy of this city was one of the speakers. He said he had been much interested in Colonel Pope's stories of the rise of successful and wealthy men. He had always been an admirer of Colonel Pope and Andrew Carnegie, as they knew how to make money and men. He said he wished to compliment the city of Hartford in having such an or ganization as the Workingmen's club and the club in having such a mana ger as John E. Gunshanan. Senator Tracy said there were too many agf- tators about the country and not enough clubs of this kind. He did not believe that men who wished to better themselves could do so by ask. ing of their employers to work fewer hours. Workingmen would be better off if they needed the advice of such men as Colonel Pope rather that that given by agitators who travel about the country and who do not have a home.

FAREWELL SOUVENIRS

Attracting Much Attention in Local
 Store Windows.
 1eT1hese gold plated jewel cases, re naissance design, with beveled cage cut glass cover. satin lined, to be given away as souvenir of the last appear ance i'm this city of Lewis Morrison as Mephisto in Faust. Such is the in scriptton on a card over a jewel case containing six beautiful biJouterie cases in a window on South and North Main streets in the stores of Hale and Fitzpatnick & Gloster But for the fact that most important event is being announced, the card and the jewel case would attract ordinary attention only. Beautiful as is the case and abtractiye as are the bijouberie cases, they would attract passing notice only were 1t not for the fact that they announce the farewell performance of one of the greatest actors on. the American stage The genius of Lewis Morrison appro- priated Mephisto and made 1t all his own. There is but one parallel case in the annals of stage history, Joseph Jefferson's Rip Van Wrinkle Lewis Morrison embodied the devil and made Goehhe's vision reality. In this lies the great importance of the souvenir announcement. Like the farewell to a loved friend, for MoqTison's Mephisto is a dear old friend, the parting is full of sorrow. After the performance on Thursday evening at Poli's MT Morri- son will never again be seen in this city in the part in which the public has learned to love hdm so. Manager Jules Murry. under whose business di- rection Mir Morrison has for years been appearing, wishes 1t distinctly under stood that these souvenirs are not advertised to be given away for bus mess purpose, to increase the receipts, but as n1ementos of the farewell per forn1ance of Lewis Morrison as Me phisto. It is safe to presume that the public at large understands this.

POLICE COURT poIsGs.
Many Owners of Dogs Paid Fines in
 the City Court Today.

the City Court To-day.
 Dogs were the main feature in the proceedings of the city court to-day It seems that while the people were all agog and staying up nights discussing the election issues, the police were looking up unlicensed dogs, knowing that the owners of such animals would be off their guard at that particular time. A few days ago a large batch of warrants were issued in conse- quenc of this roundup and the first crowd of accused owners were in court to-day before Judge Peasley They were as follows, with the disposition made in each case:
 David Stein, Cottage park, settled for $5; Thomas Taylor, Simsbury street, fined $1 and costs; Charles Leonard, Bucks Hill road, $1 and costs; J. W. Miller, Chestnut Hill hoad, S1 and costs; Arthur Cornell, Long Hill, $5; Fred King. Mill Plains, $1 and costs; D. A. Welton, East Farms, S1 ana costs; James Guzzi, $5; Louis JusiL $7 and costs, and Minnie Smith. S5
 The following cases, also, for keep ing unlicensed dogs were continued to tomorrow morning: A. J. Pierpont, James Cass, Ezra Dews. A. W. Broom baugh, James Hattley, William Jenkins and William Scott.
 The strangest excuses were given for keeping the dogs. It was shown that the poorer some people are the more dogs they keep, and the cfrcnrn- stances in one case indicated that the people were rich in dogs only. Those who were not in court to-day and were notified to be there will not be given the opportunity to settle for S5, as was given those this morning.
 William Mooney was charged with intoxication and resistance. Officer Halpin arrested him last evening. Mooney lives on Dublin street and has been in serious misfortune lately. While working in Seymour he lost three fingers and part of his left hand and un- less he is given medical attendance Of the best kind he is apt to lose his arm. He was fined $5 and costs in each case and given 120 days on probation.
 George Kelly interfered with Officer Halpin yesterday in making an arrest. He was sorry to-day for having done so, but it was sorrow too late and he was fined s5 and costs and given thirty days in jail.

Counsel Now Addressing the Jury
 In TiIIman's Defense.
 LEXINGTON, s. C., Oct 13.-Argu ments to the jury in the trial of J. H. Tillman were begun with the conven- ing of court, three attorneys for the state and two for the defense address ing the jury during the seven hours court was in session.
 Mrs. J. H. Tillman aud the mother of the defendant were present, as they have been almost continuously from the beginning of the trial, and were attentive listeners.
 Solicitor Thurmond opened for the state, both sides having submitted to the court their requests for instructions to the jury, preliminary to which Mir. Thurmond addressed the court in the presence of the jury on the doctrine of self defense and the law defining mur- der and gave the states interpretation of the law relating to threats and provocation.
 Addressing himself then to the case and referring to the editorials in the State MT. Thurmond said they were before the jury to show the feeling be- tween Gonzales and Tillman. In this connection he referred to the liberty of the press. The solicitor devoted him. self largely to review and summing up of the evidence adduced by the prosecution concerning threats, next taking up and comparing the testimony of witnesses on the two sides relative to the shooting with a view to show ing that Gonzales was unarmed and sought to avoid a difficulty when he met the defendant on the day of the shooting.
 The solicitor was followed by Mfr. Hembert of counsel for the defense, who said, among other things, that the defense did not concede that N. G. Gonzales was unarmed at the time he was shot Stress was laid by counsel upon the charges made by Gonzales against the defendant to show, as he sta ted, the influence they had on tho defendants mind when he met Con gales.
