JOKEON JUDGE COWELL
Big Quanlily of Liquors Found
 in His Tenants Place.

The lawyers around the court house are telling a good one on Judge Cowell. The judge was remonstrant in the matter of Patrick Hanlon's ap- plication for transfer of his saloon license to the Lilley building on the corner of Brown and East Main streets, in which neighborhood the judge owns considerable property. In the course of his testimony he stated with all the power of his massive frame that he strenuously objected to saloons in the neighborhood and that he could obtain a great deal more rent from saloon on his premises than he would from any other kind of business, but his principles would not allow him to tolerate the business. Nothing would induce him to allow a saloon on his property. A few days later the police visited a restaurant on the judges property, right near where Hanlon wanted to pitch his sa- loon, and they unearthed enough liquors to start quite booze shop. so that while the judge was kicking against saloons in his neighborhood, there was the worst kind of one there all the time, ''in his midst" a speak easy.

JEFFERSON STREET
City Attorney KelIog9's Opinion
 on LeyyiDg Assessments.

The opinion of City Attorney Kel- logg on the question whether or not the board of aldermen is obliged tc assess two-thirds of the cost of open ing Jefferson street to South Elm street, in case it should be decided to do the work, will be something of a disappointment to those who hoped that this was not the case. MT kel- logg states that if the street should be extended beyond its present bound ary assessments and benefits will have to be made in the usual way. At the hearing it was announced that the damages will amount to at least 1000 and it would take $1,OOO or $1,500 to do the grading. When one considers the importance of the pro- ject the estimated cost is not large and if it is to be taken hold of at all it should not be kept on the waiting list any longer.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

Miss Mary Malone will give a valentine party at her home on Bank street this evening.
 Miss Helen Smith of Hartford, who has been visiting friends in this section has returned home. Miss Elizabeth Greaney of Bank street will entertain number of her friends at a valentine party to-mor- row evening.
 Unless better terms can be ar ranged between the Brooklyn Polo team and the New Britain amateurs the locals will not go to New Britain Saturday evening. The teams were to play for a side bet of $50 but there has been some hitch in the conditions and it looks as though the game might be called off. The New Brit ain team has already suffered two defeats at the hands of the Brooklyn aggregation.
 Some of the young people in this section do not realize the danger in coasting down Bank street and not withstanding the warnings of the po- lice continue to risk their lives by sliding down the hill. Last evening several of them were coasting on a double ripper until they were chased by the patrolmen on duty in this section. They had to flee so quickly that they left their ripper behind. The patrolmen took charge of it but later allowed the boys to have it at the same time giving them their final warning about sliding on that street,
 None of the prominent Lithu- anians or Italians in this section has heard of any movement relating to a big parade to city hall to call upon the mayor. Even the most rabid so- cialists in this section of the city, those known as "red bellies" have no thoughts of parading, neither have they been informed of any socialistic demonstration that is to take place in the city. A story was being cir culated that several hundred Lithu. anians and Italians were to partici- pate in big parade next Sunday but the rumor evidently is "phone.'
 Tt is roumored that the seven minute schedule on the Bank and North Main street line in the after noon may soon be discontinued. It is up to General Traffic Manager Smith to say whether the present schedule will remain. The cars although not being overcrowded did fairly we'll in regard to patronage. Perhaps if some of the cars were not such rattle boxes more people would ride. It would shatter persons nervous sys- tenn to go across the tracks at the Bank street station more than once or twice day in one of those "dink- ies."
 If you have to suffer from any of the ills that flesh is heir to, it may be necessary to see a doctor. The next important thing is to get your prescription filled where you are sure of careful attention and pure drugs. Walker, the Brooklyn druggist, fills the bill in this re- spect.
