New London. He was arraigned i1 the police court Wednesday morning and demurred to the complaint, which was overruled and a fine of s1o0 was imposed. Laboue took appeal to the court of common pleas and was re- leased on bonds of $250.
 The arrest was made by an officer of the day force, and just because alb the details were not left with the nighb force, newspaper reporter makes ac- cusation that there is absolute lack of cooperation between the day and night police force, and in consequence th4 general efficiency of the department ia impaired. Therefore in the future 10 would be well for the captain of polico to make memoranda of all he knows of arrests being made in the daytime for the special information of news- paper reporters and order the lieu- tenant of police to see to it that all information is given to news seekerss so that they may get the news with the least possible inconvenience.
 In this particular case the arrest was made before the night force re- ported for duty. and the case was closed so far as the night men vera concerned and therefore there was na necessity for posting the details on the outer walls. It was a case whera there was no need for cooperation be- tween the day and the night forcess and there Was no occasion for post- ing the details just to furnish a sub- ject for gossip.
 There is, or was, a city ordnanes making it n1isdemeanor and sub1ect to fine to post bills or placards o4 trees or telegraph or telephone pole4 within the city of New London. NoV this nuisance has become a general rule, and there does not seem to be any effort made to put an end to its it Is common to see advertising bills posted on these poles right on Stata street. and this condition is not cred- ittable to a progressive city that has just formed an organization whose prime object is the Justification of thd city. If that ordinance is still pre- served it would seem as if the time was now ripe for enforcement.
 There used to be another ordinance that prevented the blocking of side- walks with advertising or any other device, still, for several days of the resent week a big signboard advertis- ing basketball game was placed on the sidewalk against the electric light pole at the corner of State and Main streets, much to the inconvenience oh pedestrians. Such little matters should not be permitted, for they grow into serious abuse.
 Miss Alice F. Bailey, who for tho past twenty years has worked to aid in support of her father and mother now both dead has come into pos- session of bank books that show she is enriched to the amount of nearly s7.000. the books being found in ths bottom of an old sea chest in the attic of Miss Baileys home on AmitN street. She is the daughter of Capt. William Bailey, an old-time whale- man, who became so poor in the lat- ter part of his life that he took hertH in Sailors Snug Harbor, New York; and made extra money by making fancy hammocks from codline and selling them to his acquaintances iu New London Mrs. Bailey for years kept a boarding house in Bank street, over the Whaling bank, but on ac- count of inflrmities of age she was obliged to give up that business and which she owned clear of incum- brance.
 Mrs Bailey was a frugal woman and evidently saved money in tha palmy days of her husbands careeS as a successful whaleman, but man- aged. despite her later hardships. ta save for her daughter the sum oe S3.514 in the savings bank. and oe which Miss Alice had no knowledge. and its finding was a complete and agreeable surprise for she did not know that they had any money and was therefore compelled to continue to work for her living. She is of opinion that her mother, in her declin- ing years. had forgotten that she pos- sessed the money and never told the daughter that the bank books were irf the old chest in the attic. No interest had been added to the account in twen- ty years and no withdrawals had been made during that period. Miss Bailey Is the only heir of her mothers estate and is about 57 years of age. Her mothers oft-repeated words that there would come a change for the bettee some day for her faithful daughter had finally proved true.
