TO ELIMINATE
 JITNEYS TO GET
 FIVE GENT FARE
Manager of Connecticut Go Says This Is Only Solution.

That the safety car and the eEn7d- nation of the jitney is the ultimate so- lutton of the live cent fare rate is the opinion of many Connecticut Com paEy officials which 1s shared by Manager Joseph g. Goodwin
 MT. Goodwin stated today that the new two-E1inute headway on the North Main street Nne was showing such results that the jltnsys on that line were not getting any passengerz to speak of exrept those who travelled beyond the safety car zone
 Asked if the passing of the Itney was the solution of the five cent fare that it might be and said that the do much to forestan any raise and might do much to reduce the rate
 The local manager admitted that a day was coming soon when 1t would be a choice between the Connecticut Company's cars and the titney and states that he Is convinced that the jitney Is not wanted beside the street car as they are not as dependable in a crisis This view is also shared by president of the company, Lucius S. Storrs, who made a similar staten ent here some time ago
 It seems to be the opinion of the heads of the traction company that a two-mlnute headway on all lines ir the city and numerous safety cars will bring back the trade of the com pany and gradually force the 3itneyS to assume runs where the street carf are not operating.

COURTTAkES RECESS UNTIL JAN ,

 BY STATES.

Washington, Dec. 22-Ths Supreme Court today recessed until January five, without handing down an opinion on the constitutionality of sections of the NoIstead prohibition en- forcemant act. affecting the all cohOliC "Ctteut of beer.
 The supreme court today ordered the government to show cause on January ,. why original proceedings ~kouId not be instituted by the states pf Rhode Island and New Jersey Ii- quor dealers to have determined the constitTGona-ity of the national p=o- hibition constitionaI amendment
 ApDlczI for permission to con- test Lhe amendments validity and seek Injunction against it's enforce ment i- those states were presented last week In both instances the amenamenl was alleged to conflict with the state police powers and with the federal constitution.

The court however was generally believ- d to have been prompted by the fact that as the amendment becoming eff iective OH Jan is next. the procedurs would expedite matters.

COUNTY SHERIFF
 ARRANGES MENU FOR PRISONERS
125 Less in Number Than Were in Jail Last
 Year.

Although there are 125 less prison CTS who will spend Christmas at the county jail this year than in 1918, County Sheriff Pease has made ar ranements to give the inmates a good Yuletide dinner. Only 72 prisoners will gather around the festive board on Thursday and after they have done justice to the bill of fare they may feel that life in jail, where you don't have to pay the food prodteers, has its compensations after all
 The following menu has been pre- pared for the prisoners: Roast beef, drowned potatoes, mashed turnips, boiled onions, celery, pie, crullers, ap- pies and coffee. There is some alarm among jail officials that the premature publishing of the menu may cause some hungry individuals to break into jail before Thursday in order to get a real dinner free.

RESUME TRIAL OF S3,50O SUIT
 IN HIGH COURT

The trial of the s3 500 suit brought against the Connecticut Co. by Will liam Krusch of Norwalk will be re- stunned tomorrow in the Superior court before Judge Webb. Krusch claims that as he was turning his autoZno- bile in Norwalk street last June the machine was struck by a. trolley car. He claims he was given no warning of the cars approach.
 The trolley company denies the au- tomobile was worth as much as Krusch claims. It is alleged that the car was manuf -ured in [ and was of small value at the time of the acci- dent. The case will probably be fin ished tomorrow.

Barnum's cherry-colored Cat.

0aFnUm'S CneFry-COlofe0 Cat.
As an excellent illustration Of p. T..
Barnum's philosophy that the people
love to be "gulled." and that it is a
shame not to take the money, Prof.
William Lyon Phelps of Yale, relates
an incident in the great showman's
career.
1t was while Professor Phelps was
a small boy. in New Haven, that Bar
mum advertised as a special side
show attraction "A Cherry Colored
Cat" Naturally an enormous crowd
trickled In to see the curiosity, and
all they saw was a common black
house cat. Disappointment, indigna-
ton and chagrin. We've been hum.
bugged!" was the prevailing sentiment
expressed in the equivalent of "Stung
again."
The victims caught the idea, that
some cherries are black, grinned with
delight. winked and went out, and
urged everybody they knew to be sure
not to miss the wonderful sight Of the
cherry-colored cat. with the inevitable
result that practically everybody got
'stung."

MANY GAIN FAME
IN SALOON FIGHT
Activities of Various Kinds Win
Wide Attention.
FRANCES &. WILLARD LEADER
Known All Over World as Head OF
w. c.. T. U.-Picturesque Career
Of Carrie Nation ls ...-
Recalled.

The final adoption Of nationwide
prohibition calls to memory q number
Of men and women who have achieved
not only national but worldwide fame
through their connection with the pro-
hibition, or, as it once was known. the
temperance movement.
Some of these persons who have
been most prominent In the movement
were active so long ago that their
names mean little to those who have
not been closely connected with the
prohibition movement, but others are
we'll remembered by the present gen.
Grafton. Among those who have won
the widest fame at various times
through their activity in this work
may be mentioned Gen. Neal Dow,
who is credited with bringing prohi-
bition to Maine, the first state to be-
come dry; John B. Cough, who be-
came q world-famous Temperance"
lecturer after having been drink adj
dict at twenty-five; Frances E. Will
lard, who personifles the w. c. T. u,
and Carrie Nation, the eccentric sa-
loon smasher, who died only a short
time ago after a tempestuous career.
Gen. Neal Dow.
Neal Dow was born in Portland,
Me-, of Quaker parentage. He was
twice mayor of Portland and men,
Der Of the state legislature. He en-
tered the Civil war as colonel of the
Thirteenth Maine volunteers. He was
wounded and was prisoner In Libby
prison and was made brigadier gen.
eral for gallant service. Yet the cOun-
try knows Neal Dow simply as "Fa-
ther of the Maine Law" and as tenn
perance reformer. Maine passed the
law of which he was the author in
1851 and was the first state to estab-
lish prohibition. General Dow trav-
eled widely in foreign countries work
ing for temperance. and on his nine
tieth birthday memorial meetings
were held In many parts Of the world.
he died in 1897.
John B. Cough, who was the first
temperance advocate to attract more
than local fame, was native Of Eng
land, where he was born In 1877, but
he came to the United States when he
was twelve years old. He learned the
bookbinding trade, but early became !
addicted to liquor and could not hold
Q position. He made such living as
he could by singing In saloons. Later i
he made new start and married, but
when he lost his wife and child he
again took to drink and sank to new
depths.
The turning-point in his life came
when he was induced by Massachu-
sets Quaker to sign total abstinence !;
pledge. He became temperance lee
turer, and after making many tours
In the United States he visited Eng
land, where he conducted two cam
paigns. His fame spread throughout
