After some time they induced him to go to them and he closed the door after him. The accomplices detained him in the rear yard with a put up job for a few min utes. He was very impatient and at length he managed to get away. An other minute with the accomplices and the job of robbing the place would have been successful for San toro got back to the store just as Fritzhine is said to have been closing the cash register. Santoro caught the fellow with the money in his hands, locked the door, telephoned to the police station and held him until the police arrived.

:HOTCHKISS CUT SHORT
Ordered to Pay Wife $7 a Week
 or Go 10 Jail.

Fred $. Hotchkiss the well known truckman, who lives in the north end, was charged to-day with failing to properly support his wife. He was arrested last evening on the com plaint of Mrs, Hotchkiss's daughter, Mrs ]. H. Riggs of Seymour, and he passed the night in the station house. Mrs Riggs said her mother is about 70 years of age and was unable to attend court. She is living with her in Seymour and is very feeble. She has been very sick recently, she has no clothing to speak of and her nus band has had her live in a few pare rooms in his barn at 910 North Main street. Some time ago, when was not stated, Mrs Hotchkiss transferred all her property to her husband, leaving herself without a thing
 Mrs Perkins, 900 North Main street, added to this remarkable story. She said that one week Mrs Hotchklss had nothing to live upon but ginger cookies. and that the rooms she oc- cupied in the barn were not fit for a dog. Mrs Perkins supported the old lady two weeks.
 Mrs Lewis, 1927 North Main street, gave additional testimony of this na- ture and seemed very indignant at the usage Hotchkiss gave his wife.
 Hotchkiss said his wife was all right until her friends interfered and took her away to Seymour. He was evidently prepared to tell long story, but Judge Burpee cut him off by asking if he was willing to sup port his wife properly and he said he was. An order for $7 week for six months or jail for sixty days was then entered against him.

COURT FRUITFUL VINE.
First to Take Action on Lodge
 Physician Matter,

Court Fruitful Vine, F. of A., has taken the initiation in the impending scrap between the dotcors and the benevolent societies. The court has appointed Daniel Murray and Thomas Baker as committee to act with re- presentatives of the lodges who in- tend to go up against the medical men. Of course the Waterbury Medi- cal society has not yet taken action on the contract matter, but it is ex- pected that the measure will pass at the next meeting.
 The new departure will make things interesting in more places than the lodge rooms. The board of charities and the factories will be barred from contract work of this kind so that in case all parties di- rectly concerned should take up arms the battle will be interesting.

HORSES SELLING CHEAP.
Owners Disposing of Them Rather
 Than Winter Them.

Horses are selling for almost a
 song these times and anybody who has
 a suitable place to keep them through
 the winter couldn't turn few dol-
 lars easier than by purchasing one or
 two steppers and holding them until
 next spring when they would bring
 three times what they cost now. A
 man who can get first class cart or
 road horse for S10 is foolish not to
 take it. One would say that such a
 thing is out of the question, but this
 is not so. They are going every day
 at that price and some less. The
 auctioneers pronounce them sound
 and good workers and what more do
 you want. ''I'll warrant this mare
 kind and true in all harness, good
 wind, and clever in every other way,
 remarked the erier at a sale the oth- CT day as a neat looking pony was
 trotted out. Then the auctioneer wanted to know what he was offered
 for it and commenced to expOstulate upon it's merits and the crowd pushed forward to get a peep at it, when suddenly the animal threw its hind |legs in the air and sent the crowd |scampering in all directions. Horse linen are not in the habit of laughing when things go against them, but |this was too much for even the mos hardened and the exhibition caused Ia laugh that lasted until long after |the kicker had been taken away and |another trotted out and put under |the hammer. The man who owned |the trotter said she never did any thing of the kind before and he |couldn't account for her strange con- Iduet, except it was the sudden cold 6peII and the presence of so many |new faces.

FOREIGN-MADE CITIZENS
 RISKS BY LONG STAYS ABROAD

The chief of the bureau of citizen ship in the department of state had go many inquiries in regard to the new law of citizenship and repatriation which has recently gone into effect, that he chose one of the magazines as medium of communication with the public in reference thereto.
 The new law, he says, is directed against fraud and does not in anywise modify the essential doctrine of eiti- zenship or deny it's privileges to those foreign born residents who honestly seek and are worthy of it, though it makes naturalization somewhat less easy than it formerly was.
 The fraud under the old law consist ed in naturalizing foreigners who had no real intent to become actual citi- zens, but who purposed to use their naturalization papers for temporary ad- vantage or with the idea of returning to their native land and claiming ex- omption from military service and other liabilities by reason of their spurious American citizenship. A provision of the new law is that any naturaliZed American who goes abroad to reside permanently shall be held to have ex- patriated himself, the permanence of his residence to be presumed from ceTtain facts. If he returns to his native coun- try, two years residence there raises the presumption of expatriation; if he settles in any other foreign country, five years residence will work his ex patriation. But to this is attached an important qualification. The presump- tion may be overcome by any reasonable proof that the foreign residence is tenn porary and that an intent to return exists. Even when return is impossible owing to lack of means, as in the case of old soldiers living on small pensions, proof of q real desire to retain Amer jean citizenship for legitimate purposes will be accepted by the authorities.
 This provision of the law does not apply to native Americans. These re- tain their citizenship no matter where they may be nor how long they may ab sent themselves, until they voluntarily relinquish it or forfeit it by some act of their own. Children of Americans born abroad must report to an American consul upon reaching the age of IS and must declare their intention of remain ing American citizens and at 2l they must take the oath fo allegiance.
 The new law seems entirely whole some and was believed to be necessary to correct abuses that existed under the old law.--San Antonio Gazette.

Acted on Orders

When I sailed with Commander Me Calla several years ago, said young naval officer, he had already made a reputation as rigid disciplinarian. One day it chanced that midshipman whom he had sent ashore went little beyond the instructions given him with relation to his errand. The matter was not of the least importance, but McCalla enid ed him sharply, saying:
 "When you receive an order, sir, do simply what you are told to do, and never a particle more or less. :"
 The midshipman touched his hat re- spectfully, but he thought the rebuke uncalled for. A few days later McCalla summoned him and said:
 "You will take boat, sir, and go to postoflice ashore. See if there is a package addressed to me-"
 "Aye, aye, sir.
 The midshipman took boat and went ashore. When he returned Me Calla said:
 "Well, sir, was there package for me at the postoinceF
 "Yes, sir" replied the midshipman, touching his cap.
 Where is ita"
 "At the postofIice, sir.
 "Whatl You didn't bring it with youP'
 "No, sir"
 "Why not, sir?'
 Because I had no orders to do so, sir. o
 "'I told you to get the package"
 Beg pardon, sir, but I understood you to tell me merely to see if there was a package for you at the postof- fee, and I could not venture to do a particle more or less than my instruc- tions indicated ''-Interlake Tribune.
