The Samlag system in Norway gives
power to municipalities to grant al the
retail spirit licenses which it deems
necessary to a company which would
bind itself to carry on the traffic IN tile
interests Of the community, with
fixed annual return Of not more than
! per cent on it's paid up capital. In
establishing the system the question
Of compensation does not appear to
have presented much difficulty. When
the Samlag was introduced two kinds
of licenses were In existence-trst.
those granted annually or for term
NOT exceeding five years, and, second,
privileged licenses, granted for the Life
Of the licensee. In the case Of the
first no compensation whatever was
paid to those dispossessed Of their IL
censes In regard to the latter COM
pensation was granted in the form of
an annuity equal to the average yearly
profits for the three years preceding
the suppression of the license.
With these provisions the aims and
principles of the Samlag are summar-
lied as follows: The elimination Of
private profit and securing the monop-
oily value for the public insuring high
est quality of liquors sold, the reduc-
ton of the number of licenses, the easy
enforcement of the law, the destruction
OF the power Of the spirit trade and the
furtherance of all progressive meas.

ONCE WAS ENOUGH.

The affable Captain Dugge of the
Hamburg American liner Prince Oscar
was commiserating with a seasick
passenger.
"Seasickness. SIR said the captain,
is a very nasty thing. Some peoples
sufferings, though are far more afro
cious than yours. I once carried a
Philadelphia who suffered dreadfully.
AT the height of his seasickness
this poor Philadelphia beckoned his
wife to his bedside and said in a weak
voice:
Jenny, my will is in the CONNER
cial Trust Company's care. Every
thing is left to you, dear. My various
stocks you will find in my safe de-
post box
The man paused and sighed. Then
he said, fervently:

side. 1 can't stand this trip again,

''Whew!" the old dodgers cnorused
in unison.
But that's not the strangest part of

THE EMPIRE THEATER.

There is a thread of silver run ming through the entire story in "Old Heidelberg" that touches the heart strings of the average man and woman with something human. Per haps the silver thread is the love of the old German doctor, who is tutor to the crown prince at the ancient university, and perhaps it is this which turns to gold in loyalty. But after all that has been said and writ ten, the sweetest part of the story is the actual seeing. the reponsive feeling which thrills one to the very nerve centers. The management of Waterburys new independent play house feels that it has been particu- larly fortunate in securing "Old Heidelberg for the opening attrac- tion next Monday evening. It is a strong piece in every sense of the word and replete with situations which smack of the genuine. One must see these quaint characters to appreciate the full import of the authors message. Dwight Allen as the old doctor and tutor presents a character that is full of sweetness and self-sacrifice, if mans love for l another proves greater than his re- gard for himself may be considered the putting aside of self and self in terests. At any rate there will be a large audience when the new play house is opened next Monday night People have been talking about it for weeks and now two days more and it will be an actual reality. Some of Waterbury's most pr"--''"ant citi- zens will attend the opening l formance. The advance sale of tickets has exceeded all expectations. The management has arranged to take care of the advance sale of tick cts at the music store of Driggs & Smith, on Bank street, where all telephone orders as we'll as orders by mail will be promptly executed. The productions will be thoroughly metropolitan. but the prices will not. The management's principal aim is to place the price of admission with in the reach Of the slenderest purse.

THE CHOIR SINGER

The Choir Singer" is the attrac- tive title of one of the latest of the seasons New York successes and which, with large company of we'll known players, will furnish the at. traction at Polls this afternoon and evening. According to the reports which have been printed about "The Choir Singer" it contains many new and exceedingly attractive features not found in other comedy dramas. An especially popular element in the play in question is the large number of songs of varied character, jinciud- ing those of sacred, semi-classlcal and popular sort which, rendered by singers possessed of highly trained voices, insure a treat for lovers of music.
