SOLD TO MINORS.
First Prosecution for selling Cigarettes
 in TorringtOn.


 Torrington, July 27.-The first prose cution in this place for selling cigarettes to minors came up in the borough court to-day, when Herman Christine, em- ployed at local barber shop and pool room, was found guilty of selling a package of cigarettes to Joseph sher- |penslki, a thirteen-ysar-old boy, and fined $5 and costs, amounting to S1S.99, which was paid. In imposing sentence Judge Holoo1nb said that, as this was the first offense to be brought before him, he was inclined to be lenient, but he warned all dealers that the leniency shown to-day was not to be taken as an indication of the fines which would be imposed in other cases of similar character. The court regarded the sell ing of tobacco to children as a serious and grave oense, which would be se- verely suppressed. The maximum fine for this offense is $50,

DUNHAM DINNER A SUCCESS
GREAT GATHERING AT DOUBLE
 BEACH LOVE FEAST.
Commissioner Thompson Absent but Dunham's Rival, Commissioner Wal ter, on Hund--No Formal Speeches. sherifr's Administration Was With Charity to All and Malice Toward None, Says Walsh.

None, Says Walsh.
 The first great political love feast of the season was held at Double Beach, Branford, yesterday afternoon, when 175 sat down to the complimentary din- lner rendered to Sheriff A. B. Dunham by his deputies. Every sernblance of formality was wanting, and if any po- litical wires were stretched they were all underground. County Commission CT Thompson was absent, but Sheriff Dunhams rival, County Commissioner Jacob D. Walter, was on hand. The invited guests almost without excep- ton were all there.
 The party left from the front of city hall on two special cars shortly after | ii o'clock. When the Beach house was reached a group picture was taken At 1S0 dinner was ready, and as many as could find seats entered the dining room. Seated at the head table with Sheriff Dunham were John Sewell of the Connecticut Lighting and Power company, Edmund Day of Ansonia, w. B. Brixey and Austin BFixey both of Waterbury, c. R. Graham, John R, Manson, Postmaster Fred Gaylord of Ansonia, W. N, Newton, c. R. Mar tin, Eugene Callahan, Thomas Brown of Middletown, Fred AveriM and A. Hanrahan of Bran8ord, Detective Hen ry J. Donnelly, w. A, Adams, John J.. Walsh and Walter Walsh Representa- tive w. H. Warner of Woodstock and Samuel Hodkinson of Wallingford.
 The dinner opened with the singing of My Country, 'Tis of Thee" in which all participated with will. The dispensation of natures bounties occu- pied the next two hours, during which time the Alpha quartette and the Seo- and Regiment orchestra kept the com pany continually supplied with music's soothing charms. c. E. Mallory of Mill l ford recited monologue.
 1 There were no speeches on the pro- gramme, but Deputy Sheriff John J.. | Walsh who was chairman of the din- ner committee, could not let slip the opportunity of speaking word for Sheriff Durham. He spoke of him as one who administered his office, as Lin coin expressed it, with charity toward all but with malice toward none. He said he had planted a flower in place of a thistle wherever he had found the latter.
 The calls for Sheriff Durham to speak were so repeated that he was finally forced to rise to his feet and express his thanks for the honor done him and the support shown. 1 Colonel J. B. Doherty and Judge Samuel Bryant were also forced to say few words. Both expressed them selves as loyal supporters of Sheriff Dunham. Colonel Doherty character ized him as man of honesty, fear l lessness, integrity and proper sym pathy for erring human beings that came under his power.
 | As there was no other speakers the diners began to pile out of the room to make room for those who had not been fortunate enough to secure sit- tings for the first serving. The re- mainder of the afternoon was spent in gossip and pleasure trips about Dou- ] ble Beach.

MAID 4hsrIFIlS FOR HARrJE.
But Mrs. Hartie's Lawyers Score Point
 Through Her.

Through Her.
 Pittsburg, July 27--Susie Wagner, formerly maid in the employ of the Har+je household, was a witness for MT. Hartje to-day in his suit for di- vorce, but by her testimony made an important point for Mrs, Hartje. That Susie Wagner received three letters from Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje while Su- sic was in Germany was brought out. Hitherto only two letters had been mentioned, one of them being the dis puted letter known as Exhibit No. 6. Miss Wagner said she gave the second letter to Ed" Hartje in New York, Mrs. Hart1e's attorneys have oontended all along that Exhibit No. was a forged reproduction of another letter, The admission that the second letter reached the Hartje side two months be- fore No. is regarded as important, in view of the contention of Mrs. Hartje's counsel.
 Susie Wagner on cross-e examination admitted that she had received a letter from Mrs. Hartje which contained sub stantially the same things as are found in the exhibit No. 6, and which she says she gave to Attorney E. G. Hartje in New Yoxk. Although the new letter has been traced to the hands of MT. Hartjes counsel by their own witness, it was not offered as a standard.
 In order that she should not be fur ther subjected to annoyance at the hands of rowdies, three detectives guarded Mrs. Hartje while on the street to-day. The hearing was adjourned to- day until next week.
