IN SOLDIERS UNIFORM.
Bristol Man Injured and Could Not
 Appear in Court.

George Spring, who was up" a few days ago. came under the oh- servation of the police. He was so drunk he could not stand and to make his condition worse he had an in- iured leg, caused by a fall on the ice. Spring is a short but very heavy man. and as usual he had on the uniform of the old soldier. though his right to wear this has been ques- tioned. He was in such a state that he was unable to appear in court It has been ascertained that he belongs in Bristol which town will be held responsible for his maintenance.

 Mrs Mary Peti threw a stone at some woman. Mrs Mary Nicholas was on the other sideof the street gO- ing about her business. and Mrs Peti had no more intention of strik- ing her than she had of upsetting the north pole But she bore out the verzcity of the old saying rela- tive to woman's aim for the stone made a half circle, evidently and landed on Mrs Nichols head Sas vas notified to be in court to-day but such a thing was beneath her dig nifty.

DIDN'T KNOW MELLEN.
Conductor Wasn't Going to Accept
 Pass Signed "C. SIM"

One of the New York, New Haven & Hartford road Pullman train con ductors made an amusing break q few days ago when his train was passing through New Haven. He was about to give the signal to the engineer to pull out of the station when Charles S. Mellen, the president and some friends came running upon the plat form.
 Mr Mellen pushed his friend up on the parlor car platform with his bag, and then turning to the conductor, who was annoyed at the delay, said: Give that man the best seat you have left in the car" With that Mir Mellen handed the conductor blank card, on which he had written: "One par Tor car seat and passage. Signed, C.. S. M."
 The conductor looked at the card and exclaimed: Well. who in thunder is C. $. M?' He was about to in dignantly hand the card back to Presi- dent Mellen when the gentleman on tile platform lifted his hat and said: Thank you. MT Mellen. Good bye"
 A light from on high flashed upon the conductor. who tried to stammer his apology as the train rolled out. but President Mellen only laughed and as sured him that no apology was needed.

MRS KNAPP'S SALOON
Supreme Courts Decision is Fav- orable = Fourth Time Beard

For the fourth time Wallace H. Camp has lost in his endeavors to de- prive Mrs Sarah J. Knapp of her sa- loon business in the "Wilkes house" at the entrance to the Waterbury Driving park. .... l.....
 The supreme court, the latest tri- bunal to hear this case. has decided against him, making the fourth time he has lost. Twice the case was heard before the county commission CTS, once by the superior court and latest by the supreme court. This sa- loon and this lawsuit were the only legacy Knapp left his widow and child. When he died the fight to take his license away from him was transferred against his widow. In each hearing it was contended by the remonstrants that the woman was. un- suitable for the business having had no experience in it and that the place was unsuitable also. This de- cision of the supreme court ends the contention, unless another remon- strance is filed and this is hardly likely.
 The supreme court also determin- ed yesterday that one has right to work at the business of collecting junk under an employers license. Max Rosenbaum represented by At torneys Lynch and Slavin, was de- prived of his junk dealers license. His brother, Jacob, had a license and Max became his employe. Tho police once or twice notified Max to quit the business on the grounds that he had no license. Max, on the advice of his lawyers, kept picking up things and eventually he was arrested. He was fined in the city court and in order to test the law an appeal was taken under nominal bond. The same course was taken in the dis trict court and the case was argued in the supreme court few months ago. The decision of that tribunal disposes of this question, and will no doubt be hailed with joy by hundreds of junk dealers.

NEW GOLD PIECES.
The Figures 1907 Have Displaced
 Roman Numerals.

Philadelphia. Dec 1.-The new twenty dollar gold piece. so designed as to better conform with the tastes of the bankers. is now in circulation. The new design substantially con veys St Gaudens' ideas, but has been so altered in details that praise has supplanted the criticism which broke out several weeks ago when the orig inal coin left the Philadelphia mint.
 The new double eagle can be stack ed quite as easily as any other coin. The high relief to which bankers ob- jected had been greatly reduced, though both sides are artistically concave, the eagle and the goddess standing out boldly.
 The new design is virtually com promise with regard to the pan talooned" eagle. It cannot be said that the designer dispensed with the leg adornment of the eagle. yet those who objected to this feature have no further grievance. as the legs are ob- scured.
 The figures 1907 have displaced the Roman numerals.
 The sharp edge Of the coin has been eliminated. Around it are stars and the phrase "E Pluribus Unum.' There is a great demand for the new issue.
 The error of the designer of the old double eagle. if such it may be called. had a singular result. There were g. 900 of the original design issued. and while this meant s1GO.OO0 in circuIa- tiOn. the high premium of s10 on each coin brought s24OOoO. It is said that none of the eagles are in circulation, as they have all been bought up by collectors.

CURRENCY IS COMING.
Approaching Holiday Has Started
 Things On the Move.

Philadelphia. Dec 1S.-Currency is moving with more freedom in this city now than at any time since the monetary stringency set it. While this may be due in part to the ap- preaching holiday and which keeps money actively in circulation. the Iib- eral policy which the local banks have pursued throughout the trying period is also given full credit by bankers.
 The statement of the national banks of Philadelphia just issued has aroused favorable comment The fact that earnings increased during the year s4,sz1- -ss4. in face of de- crease in deposits of s32.z0S.447. wss regarded as good banking. while other items including an increase in circulation of sz .s3s.szs. was taken as an indication that the banks en- dszvored to fully protect the hnan- cisI and business interests of the city.
