SUNFLOWER PHILOSOPHY.

1t is every bride housekeeper's OPT
nion that it takes clothes a terribly
long time to get old enough to be torn
up for dish rags and dust cloths.
When women get to talking about the
neighbors who borrow, more remark
able stories are told than upon any
other occasion.
1t sometimes happens a widow be-
haves so foolishly her actions put the
halo Of martyr on her husbands brow
which the people regret they didn't see
while he was living
1t happens tragicauy often that when
a woman who has saved up money for
a rainy day, her son, or some other big
strong man in her family, gets caught
out in the wet and she has to put up
every cent she has saved to get him
under cover-Atchison CKan.) Globe.
France evidently regards spanking
Castro of Venezuela, IS a householder
regards putting out the cat-a darned
sight harder job than it looks.-New
York American.
Even when a woman knows it isn't
so, she always believes her husband
who is away when he writes how lone
some he is-New York Press.

UP TO THE ELKS.

Last night at Elks' hall, there gather
ed those who are going to do things at
the coming Elks minstrels and say, you
should have heard 'em sing. Chorus
after chorus We're gone through with
that easy grace and swing that one
generally hears around a professional
show and helped along with the Tam
bOs and Bones, the rehearsal proved a
show it itself. The end men were
alive and equal to all chances for a
slap and a bang, and special effort is
being made to have each and all do
their business as a body.
One of the cleverest things ever heard
in this country, will be distributed by
Bruce Hartman, whose reputation for
the maker of original stunts is only too
well known. His act Is a winner and
will start somebody aguessing.
Transformation scenery, with many
beautiful adjuncts, is now being paint
ed for fitting finale to a night OF
merriment and as this act will close
the show, it no doubt will send the
audience to their homes, well repaid
Tor their price of admission. From now
on rehearsals will be held in the Opera
House, as the "at home" feeling is
always necessary in almost every anna

HARRY HILL HELD FOR THEFT
Accused of Entering House of Ms
 George 0'Loughlin of Walnut St

Harry Hill, commonly known as Governor" who was arrested last evening for drunkenness and whose trial in the city court this morning was put over until tomorrow. will also face a charge of theft. Hill is wanted for burglary committed last August. He is accused of entering the home of Mrs George O'Laughlin on Walnut street and stealing $60. He gained entrance to the house by raising a front window. He left town shortly after and although he was looked on with suspicion, as he was suspected of committing other petty thefts. the police did not make a very big effort to catch him, but waited until he returned to this city.
 He might not have been accused of the Walnut street theft if while under the influence of drink last evening in a cafe on South Main street he had not started to talk and spoke freely of his past adventures. His arrest was the result.

Statement of Hartford Conductor
 Charged With Taking Fares.

Hartford, Dec 7.-David A. Blake. alias Black. self-confessed thief, was fined SIG and sentenced to jail for thirty days by Judge Alberto T. Ror- aback in the superior court yester- day afternoon for embedding money from the Hartford Street Railway company, a part of the Consolidated Railway company's system, while he was employed by the company as a conductor in this city. Not only did he confess that he himself was a thief, but he attempted to attach the stain of dishonesty on every employe of the company in this city. Howard c. Webb of New Haven, of counsel for the Consolidated Railway com pany, told Judge Roraback that Blake had made the statement to him in the presence of others that every employe of the company in this city was in the habit of taking from 50 to 75 cents day from the company.

THE CORRECTED RETURNS.
Philip Hugo Gets . Letter from the
 Secretary of State.

New Haven. Dec 7.-Sterif-elect Philip Hugo will have to go through a whole lot of red tape in order to get that 900 additional votes which he received in the last election and which were not credited to him In the oficial count in this city. Mir Hugo received letter yesterday from the secretary of state informing him that inasmucn as the count had been officially canyassed and recorded it could not be changed except by an act of the legislature. In order to get his full vote and have on rec1.d the fact that he received in New Ha- ven the largest majority of any den- ocrat ever elected here, he will have prepared a bill for the legislature to set the matter right He decided on that course yesterday.
 The loss of the 1000 votes to Mfr Hugo was the result of q clerical error made by pr Brothers. the mod orator in the last election. whose duty it vas to approve the counts of tho fifteen wards. Both sides admit the error and are willing to correct 1t and give the sheriff the extra votes. There are many citizens who think it is a shame that any such red tape as a legislative act should cave to bo gone through with 10 correct such sa error which everybody Is willing to have corrected. It means expense not only to the individuals but to tse state and looks nke foolishness and useless waste of money. It vas sue- gested that some legal remedy he proposed at the next session of the general assembly that will do away with a lot Of rcd tape and annoya1cs by appealing to the superior court ssr the necessary power to correct srch errors-
