New Boilers For County Court House
 To Cost $2,5OO

Upon advice of the insurance inspec- tors the county commissioners have decided that it will be necessary to purchase new boilers for the county court house. The inspectors looked over the boilers and ordered that steam pressure should not be raised to more than 40 pounds.
 The present boilers have been in the court house for 9 years, in fact they were put in when the building was erected. The average boiler does not last more than 20 years, so the local equipment has given good ser vice. Two new boilers will be re- quired and it is expected that the cost will b about g, 800
 Unless the inspectors issue orders to the contrary, it is thought that the present equipment will be used for the balence of the winter, but during the summer some changes will be made
 A new vacuum cleaner system has been installed at the court house. By means of pipes which reach every floor, it is possible to thoroughly clean the building in short time-

Caught In Raid, Fined Severely
 For Telling Fib
Visit of Police to East Side Apartment House Brings Grist to City Court Mill

That Bridgeport's '"Tenderloin'' has been sending out branches to other parts of the city was indicated by successful police raid on Saturday night at an aparement house in East Main street near the railroad tracks. The raid was due to the complaint of neighbors
 Daisy Bruce was taken as owner of the place, and Teresa Foster, Angelis Percy and Alex Alexander as ire quenters-
 In the city court this morning Mrs. Bruce was fined $1 and costs by Judge Wilder, and sentenced to spend 30 days in jail. Angelis Percy paid fine of $25 and costs for frequenting.
 Alexander. who is a young man of about 21. refused at first to give any statement as to the character of the place. He quibbled and evaded so much that Judge Wilder fined him $50 and costs for not telling the truth.
 Teresa Foster, a girl of only IS and of good family, was tried in private and was sent to the House of the Good Shepard in Hartford. The raid. was made by Sergeant Prout and Pa troolman Dempsey. The officers were congratulated by the prosecuting au- thorfties for cleaning out this den, which was more objectionable than ordinarily because of the locality and the fact that it was a trap for young women.

THE HOBO AND THE COP
Otherwise Being Midnight Episode
 at Police Headquarters.

Wandering into police headquarters last night looking for lodging Frank smith, very cheeky "hobo,'' careless Iy disclosed the fact that he had considerable cash and was therefore denied shelter at the city's expense.
 Upon this Smith became very abu- sive, cursed and raved around until Patrolman Larkin placed him under arrest and started to take him to a cell
 If had you alone for five minutes I could lick you" shouted Smith. Pa trolman Larkinn thereupon gave him the opportunity and when the dust had ceased flying, a very battered and crestfallen hobo was deposited in a cell.
 DO you think you tackled the wrong man?'' asked Prosecutor Delaney in the city court this morning.
 T guess I did, was Smiths laconie reply.
 He was sentenced to pay a fine of s20 and costs and to spend 50 days in JaiI for drunkenness, vagrancy and us ing abusive language.

NOON DAY MEETINGS
 BIG SUCCESS

 Rev. Chas. l.. Gomph, Rector of Trinity Episcopal Church made the ten minute addresses at the services last week, and his talks were very inter- esting and helpful. Saturdays ser vice was conducted by a Iayman from one of the local churches.
 The Rev. J. Chauncey Lins1ey, Rec tor of Trinity Church, Torrington Conn.,, made the address at the Noon Service today.
 Many will be glad to learn that MT. Linsley will speak again on Wednes- day at 1925. Mir. Linsley is very well known throughout the state, and has many admirers in this city.
 A good congregation should be pre- sent tomorrow to hear Rev. G. A. Christensen, D. D., Rector of Christ church, Riverdale-on- Hudson, New York, who comes to this city for the Noon service, at Trinity chapel, and will also be the preacher for the first of the Union services of the Epis- copa1 churches to be held at Christ church at o'clock Tuesday evening. pr.

 Another interesting development, to- day, was that seven women arrested a the sta ton after their children had been torn from their arms are held at the county jail charged with ''vio- lating ci.y ordinances' This is the charge that is always made against dlsreputable women and prisoners held on suspsicion before the real charge against them is formally en- tered on the books.

A Brighter Side

Democrats who enthuse over the
prospect of that extra session of the
legislature, are mighty scarce They
haven't been able to figure how il can
possibly do their party any good,
while they can easily see how it might
put the administration in bad with
the voters. That the now experienced
solons might pass laws of real bene
fit to the state, apparently hasn't
been considered as a possibility.
The reasons which His Excellency
gives for considering the present
situation an emergency, are not con-
yincing. No one would be likely &c
challenge the validity of the Federal
apportionment act which continues
the present arrangement of districts
and as we understand the election
laws are fairly satisfactory where
there are candidates up for office. At
any rate we should be willing to take
our chances through another election.
AS Tor the liquor question, the people
have spoken, and we see no reason
why the doctrine of secession should
be any more popular than it was
fifty years ago.
But in spite of the foregoing and
the obviously needless expense, there
is brighter side. In the first place
the referendum makes it impossible
for the politicians to put across any
thing very rank and get away with it.
But better yet, those members of the
Legislature who propose to seek fur
Their political honors, will have to go
right home from Augusta to face their
constituents in the primary. This one
circumstance will have mighty in
huence over the members of even a
Maine legislature. 1t is going to
make them at least cautious, and we
believe more conscientious in their
work than they were last winter. In
fact an optimistic temperament en-
ables US at times to almost see visions
of the leaders of both parties, actually
striving in friendly rivalry, too see
who best can serve the people of our
great commonwealth. Lord knows
they will have opportunities enough.
