Ex-Assemblyman Cahill Sentenced for

 Ex-Assemblyman Cahill Sentenced for
 Election Frauds.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Former As semblyman Joseph J. Cahill of Brook lyn was sentenced by Judge Crane in Brooklyn's county court to two years in Sing Sing prison.
 Cahill was convicted of perjury in connection with frauds perpetrated at the polls on election day.
 Cahill's lawyer was Martin w. Little ton, Brooklyn's borough president. He asked for an arrost of judgment.
 When he heard Judge Crane say two years' Cahill winced visibly and was able to retain his self possession only by great effort.
 Borough President Littleton rose inn mediately and asked for weeks time in which to prepare certificate of req sonable doubt, as he intended, he said. to carry the case to the appellate dfvf- sion and from there if necessary to the supreme court of the United States,
 In pronouncing sentence Judge Crane said:
 No greater injury can be done to the people of this community than to at- tempt to nullify their choice and will on election day by illegal voting. Such attempts strike a blow at the very foundations of our government. You have been convicted, Cahill, of the crime of perjury in connection with procuring fioaters to vote illegally. Whatever may have been the tricks and devices of the politicians in the past. you and others like you should realize that now the people of all par ties. irrespective of party, demand and will have honest elections. As warn ing to those who may seek to aid their friends or their party by dishonest means I sentence you to two years in Sing Sing
 For years Cahill has been promi- nent political leader in South Brooklyn, where he owns fiourishing saloon. He has served two terms as an assembly, man.
 After the sentencing of Cahlll two more illegal voters came before Judge Crane. .s 4 g
 John Lawler was sentenced to one year in the Kings county penitentiary for Illegal. voting. and Francesca de Palma got year and half in Sing Sing.

DR. HIDES LECTURE
Distinguished Guest Will Be Given
 Dinner at The Elton.

Says the New York Herald: "That the mantle of Charles Stewart Parnell has fallen on Douglas Hyde is practi- cally conceded. Mir Parnell was statesman and an able strategist in the field of politics who cared very little for literature and nothing at all for poetry. Douglas Hyde is a distin- guished poet and versatile scholar who has never yet taken any active part i'll politics, and who first came into prominence through his zeal in the cause of reviving the Irish language. But notwithstanding pr Hydys order of mind being so different from that of Mir ParneH, he is to-day Parnell's successor in Ireland. if universal pop ularity is, as it should be, the test.'
 Dr Hyde is coming to this city next Thursday to lecture. The money he is making on this lecturing tour is to he turned over to the Gaelic league. which will use it for educational and industrial purposes, There are now 5000 schools in Ireland where Gaelic is taught With every word of Gaelic which they learn, the boys and girls in Ireland strengthen their patriotism and their desire to build Up in thought md in industry an Irish Ireland There are now scores of factories in the old land, and the work of the Gaelic league is increasing every day the bus iness of these factories. No work ever done for Ireland by any body of men better deserves support than the eff forts of the Gaelic league. Go to Polls on Thursday and hear Dr Hyde eX- plain the movement.
 Tickets for the lecture may be .ob- tained of any member of the A. o.

THE CITY'S SIDEWALKS
Not in Condition When Private Owners of Property
 Are Fined.

Alderman Hewitt created a sensa- ton at the meeting of the aldermen last night, stating that he wished it were so that warrant could be is- sued for the city of Waterbury. He had reference to the business of ar resting property owners for neglecting to clean sidewalks while allowing such walks as 1t owns itself 10 remain in a shocking condition. This was so all last winter and at the same time the city was flning private property OWL CTS for not complying with the ordin- ance regulating the cleaning of side walks. Alderman Murray assured the alderman from the third that such walks as the city government Is eX- pected to keep clean will receive prop CT attention after January l. This amused everybody present, including Mayor-elect Thoms, who occupied a seat in the ante-room. Mir Thoms spoke by request on the proposition of the Platt Bros X Co to settle their differences by arbitration. He didn't commit himself to anything, remark ing as he came forward that It was all right provided you get the right kind of committee, and adding as ne retired that law is expensive.

HIGH SCHOOL SOCIETIES
Secret Orders Causing Trouble at New
 Haven School .

Secret societies are causing lot of trouble at the present time in the New Haven High school, as may be seer by the following article in connection with the class elections which ap- peared in the New Haven Leader Sat urday evening:
 Quite a lively meeting was held by the 1906 class of the New Haven High school yesterday afternoon after the regular school session. The purpose of the meeting was to elect class off cers and Dr Cushing, head master of the school, presided. Proceedings were interrupted quite frequently by lin guistic alterations between members of the old Hillhouse school and the Boardman faction, each desirous of electing the nominee for president.
 After the meeting was called to order Hillhouse man nominated George French for president. This motion was seconded and immediately a Hillhouse man moved to close the nominations. The head master re- fused to honor his motion, thinking such procedure unfair to other candi- dates. and Boardman student nom- mated Winifred Munson of Boardman. This motion was seconded and the nominations closed. balloting proceed ed.
 The result of the first ballot was S2 for Munson and IT for French, several students not voting.
 This result was contested by the Hillhouse supporters. who claimed that among those voting were two students not in good standing. A rule of the class being that scholars in arrears of dues for two months are hatIe from voting at class meetings.
 The dues amount to 10 cents per month and one of the students had paid his dues prior to the meeting. It was finally decided to allow him the privilege of balloting.
 Tie other students claimed that he did not understand that the dues must be paid before the meeting and that he was ready to pay them at that mo ment before the next ballot should be taken, but this was refused and he was barred from voting the second hal lot.
 One of the most exciting moments turing the meeting was when one stu. dent declared that another hadn't paio his dues. whereupOn a third insisted that he had. for the speaker had loaned him the money with which tn pay his dues.
 This was only one of the intereS.'-1g incidents of the meeting.
 A second ballot was then taken which disclosed that each candidate had S0 votes and 1t was decided t0 postpone the election one week
 Next Friday another meeting win be held and t is expected tha' these two nominees will be the only sanfi- dates at that time. Other officers for the class will also be elected on that day if there is no repetition of yesfer- days proceedings.
 Both these candidates are members of q secret society and this may ae- count for some of the hostility exhib- tied yesterday. as earh has warm sup p1rters in the sosietieS-

CHRISTMAS APRONS.

I'd almost like to skip the Christ mas business" we heard one of our customers say to friend a few days ago-'it worries me so to think what will make nice presents"
 So We introduced her to the splen- did line of Holiday Aprons and they talked so earnestly and emphatically of Christmas time that she went away triumphantly bearing eight of them.
 You know that Holiday Aprons are not like other time aprons. The trim ming and ruffling and tucking is all so much daintier and more Holiday ish" that you'll hardly find any gift that is nicer.

 Every year during the Holidays we sell thousands of Handkerchiefs. Handkerchiefs are the always accep- table gift A good many people say when in doubt give handkerchiefs." Probably to that we should account our above mentioned remarkable handkerchief selling.
 At any rate our handkerchief busi- ness forces us to buy in great quan- titles. This makes the manufacturers anxious to get our orders. We can demand considerable price conces- sloll-we do-and generally get 1t. And because the prices are low, don't for q moment suspect that the hand kerchiefs are anything but worthy made of anything but the purest of linens or that ill any manner there is a chance to make them more desirable.
