POLICE COURT DOINGS.
lehn Horan Was Sentenced to Sixty
 Days i'm Hail.

John Horan, tired and sleepy, was before Judge Burpee I'll the city court to-day charged with intoxication and vaRrancy.
 How could that be when had $3 In my pocketsT he asked.
 Officer Brickel said number of women complained to him of man hiding behind tree on the sidewalk near the Buckle factory on South Main street and bounding out upon them suddenly and asking them for money. The officer saw man behind a tree but lost him and after a long search saw him again in the rear of house on South Main street and five women telling him to make him. self scarce. While the officer was get ting into the yard the man again dis appeared, but he eventually traced him to sitting room in house be- low Washington street, where his op- pearance caused a stampede among the occupants. It seemed the people of the house were entertaining some friends when the man entered the sitting room. Horan was arrested once before on the same charge. On the present complaint he was sen- fenced to sixty days in jail.
 MILK hdpeIAndH udu LWo poyS LIT rested for breach of the peace but when asked to identify them in court he picked out two men. He said through an interpreter that he was assaulted on Scovill streer by the boys, one of whom was near enough to punch him in the nose. Attorney Rus sell, counsel for the boys said it was very strange how Kaperman forgot his English, because he had enough some years ago to enable him to get a divorce in the local superior court. As he failed to identify the boys who assaulted him the complaint was nolled. This did not seem to bother him as much as that he was not given the usual witness fee, sixty cents

ANTI-vACCINATIONISTS.
Will Send Copies of Repeal Vote
 About the Country.

The members of the local anh-vac- cination society are jubilant over the victory which the anti-vaccinationists won at the meeting of the board of education on Monday. Copies of the vote repeating the rule have been sent to magazines and anti-vaccination so- oieties throughout the country. An officer of the society said to-day that the society would not be contented with local victory. In connection with other societies throughout the state they will again attempt to have the state legislature repeal the vaccina- ton laws. They expect to have more success than they had with the last legislature. l.. W. Anderson, an off, Ger, of the local characterization so- ciety, said that the reason why the antf-vaccinationists were defeated in the last legislature was that a num- Der of the members of the legislature lacked the ordinary degree of intelli- gence.

A QUESTION OF
 SIX DAYS PAY.

The department of public works had several knottv questions to deal with yesterday afternoon. One was the question of six days wages for Superintendent Johnson of the water department, and Superintendent Hotchlyiss of the street department It come up over the request of MT O'Brien for pay for six days he serv- ed under the present administration. MT Johnson thought he was entitled to pay at the rate of $1,2O0 and Mir Hotchkiss that if this were so his pay should begin at the commencement of the year, too. While nothing definite was done in the premises it is likely that they will get all there is coming to them.

FIR. POLL IN TOWN.
Trying Again to Secure "The Georgia MaSnet."

Manager Pon came here from New Haven this afternoon to renew neG)- tiations with Miss Annie Abbott the Georgia Magnet" for an engagement over his circuit of theaters. He will make Miss Abbott new proposition in the matter of salary, and before his return to New Haven tonight he will either have her under salary or the entire thing will be called off.
 AS told in the Democrat of Monday, Mir Poli found 1t impossible to meet Miss Abbott's salary demand without increasing his prices of admission and this latter he would not consider for moment. His success is due to his system of popular prices, and no at traction is considered important enough to make him change this. Miss Abbott asked for her services alone more than MT Poli ordinarily pays for an entire show; but as must provide a regular high class vaudeville show In addition to her novelty, he could not, of course, consider it. '"The trouble | is," as JohnJ. Splain, MT Polls repre- sentative said, that Miss Abbott hasn't taken into account the chang ed conditions of the amusement busi- l ness that have come since she was electrifying Europe and America with l her powers a few years ago. When playing before she provided the entire performance; now, however, the pub lie are educated to viewing number of different acts, and on vaudeville audience would stand for q perform ance along one line. It Is necessary therefore, that many acts be provided in addition to Miss Abbott's, and no such prices of admission can be charged as she played to in England and America some years ago, when at some of her exhibitions as high as $5 was charged. MT Polls prices are 10, 20 and 80 cents, quite difference; and in addition Miss Abbott is only part of the show. I am hopeful that
 Miss Abbott will come to see the jus
 tice of MT Polls proposition and re cede from her high rgures. MT Pol wants to present her to his patrons
 as he recognizes a real novelty in hel l work"
 Should the engagement be made during MT Polls visit here to-day an. nouncement will be made promptly, as 1t is recognized that there is wide spread public interest in Miss Abbott because of the large space she has been occupying In the New York pa. pers of late

Credit Argument.

Our strong position in the credit On --- Is matter attained by un~ daunted persistence in matters oe quality and Httleness of price, backed by the most liberal and generous cred- It proposition ever offered to the pub nc by the Guarantee Credit Clothina Co.
 Anybody can buy for cash! .sThatss easy There's no special honor In the iacf that one can walk into store. lay down in cold cash the full price asked for an article and 90 become the possessor. Come to think of it ita the coldest sort of proposition, q mere transaction. To have cre6is given you Is entirely different Makes you feel as though you were entitled 10 1t. What 8 great honor 1t Is to be able To enter as store. select such goods as you want and arrange to pay for them in amounts and at times that are convenient to you. What a great dignity there Is to credit, and how far reaching its beneficial effects
 A large per cent of the worlds business owes fts existence to this great comodity. To buy Tor cash, then, is very ordinary. But to buy on credit is always a distinction that one should be proud Of.

HOW TO BE HAPPY.

1any of us miss the joys that might be ours by keeping our eyes fixed on those of other people. No one can en- joy his own opportunities for happi- ness while he is enyious of another's We lose a great deal of the joy of living by not cheerfully accepting the small pleasures that come to us every day, instead of longing and wishing for what belongs to others. We do not take any pleasure in our own mod est horse and carriage, because we long for the automobile or victoria that some one else owns. The edge is taken off the enjoyment of our own little home because we are watching the palatfal residence of our neigh bor. We can get no satisfaction out of trolley ride into the country or sail on a river steamer, because some one else can enjoy the luxury of his own carriage or yacht Life has it's full measure of happiness for every one of us If we would only make up Oplr minds to make the most of every opportunity that comes our way. in. stead of longing for things that como our neighbours way. Success.
