AMOUNT NOT SETTLED

In Embezzlement Charges-Lewis stiH
 in Jail.
 It was stated at the office of the Benton-Armstrong company yesterday that the exact amount of their shorr- age, on account of which Frank E. Lewis, of Mt. Carmel, and Mortimer ID. Smith, of this city, former clerks, are held for embezzlement, had not been ascertained. He said that the estimate of the city attorney placing the amount stolen at about $4,OOO was not at all ex- orbitant.
 As yet he said there had been no proposal made to the firm on behalf of the men by their friends to settle the matter and make up the loss, MT. Benton said he did not care to answer the question as to whether such a pro- uposal is probable. There were no new developments in the case yesterday, and Lewis, who is held in bonds of s2,OO0, is still in jail.

HENRY MILLER COMPANY.

f1GAINIL4 NIL14GIIb COhI AMI
 Henry Miller, who seems to be con- stantly forging his way to the front ranks of theatrical managers, and car rying with him list of attractions that are the very best that can be produced, Tn the last two seasons he has given us "Zira," ''The Great Di- vide" Joseph Entangled." Brown of Harvard Madam Mazimova, in Hedda Gabler," and his latest Ion Parole" which the playgoing public is to see at the Hyperion theater on Monday and Tuesday nights "On Pa role" is a radical departure from Mr. Millers usual attractions inasmuch as 1t is a civil war drama. The theme, however, is treated from the Southern point of view and the rougher parts Of the ordinary war drama are eliminat- ed. There Is not much gun-play and less gunpowder. The attention of the audience is held rather by the strong story and plot than by these cheap melodramatic effects. The company selected is one of uncommon ability and is kcaded by Charlotte Walker and Vincent Serrano.

FALBLE on F. OPLF.
Are Much Benefited by the Use of vinol.

Hundreds of old people right here in New Haven need just such strength maker and bodX-builder as our delicious cod liver preparation, Vinol; and we simply cannot under stand why they will continue to drag out a half-dead and half-alive exist ence, when we guarantee vinol will invigorate every organ in the body, stop the natural decline and make them well. vigorous and strong.
 If you want to know how an aged, feeble, discouraged man or woman may be made active, cheerful and vig- orous. read this letter:
 Mrs Catherine Therer, of Albany, N, Y, writes. "six months ago I felt that I was broken down by age, and I was doomed to the weak and feeble condition of old people. The slightest exertion tired me, and had no strength. My daughter brought me a bottle of Vinol l soon felt an im- provement; continued it's use, and am now well, cheerful and stronger than I have been for years; in fact, I feel ten years younger"
 VinoI is not stimulant which re- acts on the system, but 1t is a genuine cod liver and iron tonic which in a natural manner makes rich red blood and replaces weakness and strength. We wish every old person in New Ha- ven would try Vinol on our offer to return money if it fails.-Hull's Cor ner Drug Store.
 Note,--W While we are sole agents for Vinol in New Haven, it is now for sale
 at the leading drug store in nearl every town and city in the country Look for the Vinol agency in your town.

His courtships always took place during one of his revivals. and his victim was always one of those whom he had taken into the folk.
 Just before sentence was passed Holden said to the judge that years ago he had been a victim of spinal trouble, which had created a pressure on the brain and because of this af- flictfon he was simply driven into the willing arms of the women. He said that he had struggled against the sin Of bigamy, but that all his prayers had availed him nothing.

eve had some memorable Christmas
days in the south during the war;"
said Mrs. Zebulon B. Vance, wife Of
the late United States senator from
North Carolina. "That Of 1861 was
different from any that had preceded
it because we were in arms against the
Federal government, and many Of the
male guests at southern homes that
day wore Confederate uniforms. Much
Of the talk at the Christmas dinner
table was Of sieges and battles and
marches. but we were all full Of hope
and confidence.
christmas, 1862, found us but poor
ly prepared to celebrate it. Our sup
plies were few, and Confederate money
was at a heavy discount Then came
the bitter year of 1868, with the fall of
Vicksburg and the defeat at Gettys-
burg. With sad faces, harmonizing
we'll with their dresses of coarse black
stuff, the women Of the south devoted
themselves to picking lint and spinning
and weaving for husbands, fathers,
brothers and sweethearts in the field.
christmas, 1S64-the last Christmas
Of the war-dawned, and what q
gloomy festival it was for the people
of the south! OF manufactured prod
ucts we had practically none. Our
hairpins We're made Of long black
thorns, with ball of sealing wax on
the end. We had made into dresses
every scrap Of available material
while our feet were incased in home
made cloth shoes. The slaves, having
heard Of de Emancipation proclama,

had all scattered away. Desolation
seemed to reign over everything. OF

wartime Is the one of all others that

CHRISTMAS NEAR THE POLE.

Take Turkeys Place.

Take Turkeys Place.
81 think Christmas, 1883, was my
most memorable one" said General
Greedy, the artic explorer. with my
command was proceeding southwark
in the hope of obtaining help, and
about the Goth Of October we en-
sconced ourselves In a little hut at
Cape Sabine. Our supply of food was
running very low, and we were on
very short rations, every one being al
lowed just food enough in each TWEEN
ty-four hours to sustain life. Under
these depressing circumstances and
amid the awful silence of the polar
night the cheerfulness that we contin-
ued to maintain was remarkable.
Christmas day came at last-Christ-
mas in the arctic regions! At o'clock
we had our breakfast-thin soup made
of peas, carrots, blubber and potatoes.
Our Christmas dinner was served at 1
oclock-first course, a stew of seal
meat, onions, blubber, potatoes and
breadcrumbs; second course, served
one hour after first, stew of raisins,
blubber and milk; dessert, cup of
hot chocolate. One of our party had
some tobacco still left, and he very
kindly made a cigarette for each one
in our little party.
II will wager that in all Christen-
dom that day not another present was
given or received that gave such in
tense delight to the recipients as did
those little rolls Of tobacco and paper.
They were quickly aflame and being
puffed away at for dear life, and thus
my most memorable Christmas
Christmas near the north pole ended
in smoke" Pittsburg Dispatch.

Her Little PRAYER.

Former Comptroller Edward NJ.
Grout Of New York city tells pretty
little Christmas story.
He said that little girl relative Of
his was visiting her grandmother on
Thanksgiving day. Already the child
had begun to speculate on what Santa
Claus was to bring her at Christmas
time, and, as children especially girls
will do when they are at the home
of an indulgent friend, she began to
rummage through closets and drawers.
In the course Of her investigation
she came upon brand new white muff.
1t was the very thing she had wanted,
and she knew that Santa Claus chief
purchasing agent-grandma-h OBJ
tanned it for her.
Taxed with it, grandma admitted the
truth.
But" she said, you must forget all
about it until Christmas day"
That night as she was being put to
bed the child astonished her mother by
adding this to her evening prayer:
please, God, make me forget all
about the little white muff Santa Claus
is to bring."-New York Times.

CANADA's CHRISTMAS STAMP.
The Only Known Postal Memorial of
the December Holiday.

The Only Known Postal Memorial Of
the December Holiday.
Stamp collectors say that the great
est Christmas gift ever made was a
postage stamp Of the value of cents
On Christmas, 1898, Great Britain pre-
sented to all her thirty-seven colonies
Christmas gift in the form Of two
cent letter postage in place Of the rate
Of 5 cents, which for decades had ex-
listed.
In honor Of this event Canada placed
on sale on Christmas morning, 1898, a
Christmas postage stamp, the only
stamp Of the kind ever issued by any
country. In many respects it is unique
among all postage stamps.
1t was larger than our Columbian
stamps and showed a map Of the world
with the possessions Of the British en-
pire printed in bright scarlet The
oceans appeared in a blush green and
the frame Of the design in black.
Across the top was the inscription
Canada Postage" with a crown rest
ing on laurel leaves tucked in between
the words. At the extreme lower part
Of the design is the declaration, 1--WE
hold vaster empire than has been;;"
above this, Xmas, 1885," and figure
"2" in each lower corner.
1t is worthy Of note that this Cana
dian stamp was printed by a bank
note company in the United States. 1t
marked a new epoch in stamp produc-
ton, having three colors. Bicolored
stamps are not uncommon, but up to
that time no country had ever attempt
ed three color stamp.
This Christmas stamp was probably
the most expensive ever issued, cost
ing the Canadian government four
times as much as the ordinary single
color stamp. Although issued on Christ
mas, 1898, the stamps availability for
postage uses is unlimited.-New York

Temperance Talk
Heard or All Sides

The talk for and against prohi-
bltion goes merrily on in Stafford
One gentleman, a prominent mer
chant, is strenuously opposing the
movement to close the saloons,
saying that in all his experience,
prohibition failed to prohibit to a
considerable degree. He also
states that in one district where
he lived IN Texas, there were three
towns which bad saloons, and that
two finally instituted prohibition,
with the result that the third,
which still permitted the saloons
to remain, obtained the great ma
jouty of the outlying business,
and the business of the two. pro.
hibition towns languished ant al
most died. He states that he fears
this would be the case in Stafford
il prohibition should be introduced
On the other hand, some of the
advocates of prohibition claim
with earnestness that if Stafford
were made a prohibition town,
many ladies and those who favor
temperance would come mere from
outlying towns to trade, and that
prohibition would have an excel
lent effect in many ways, especial.
ly for the growing generation.
They claim that the saloons now
each many young men who
would otherwise DO studying and
dong something of value instead
of going out to play billiards, etc
if there were no saloons here.
The discussion Of this subject is
spreading and waxing earnest iu
all quarters. From the present
disposition Of those who favor pro
hibition, 1t is probable that IN
effort will be made to bring the
matter to vote in the not far
distant future.
