Well, now we have had a nice long season c 1
rest,haven't we? We from writing "ads" anrt
you from reading them. Jt ought to have left
us an in a very neaiiniui anu rooust conai
tion, but unfortunately those competitors ot
ours and other heartless advertisers bad no
sense didn't give you the vacation we did, but
kept right on with their everlasting hammer
ing just ths same, and statistics show that the
neain rate among our weary ana long snner
ing citizens has kept right up to almost the
olu mark. It's too bad, they should have fol
lowed our philanthropic example and given
you a rest through these long winter months
while your blood was blue, cold and thin and
your chilblains active. (Isn't it queer what
stupidity is sometimes exhibited in a sick
room), but no, they must keep hotly on your
Trsii nammcr ana tongs," &a weeKs in tne
year, seven flays in the week, so what's the
use in our holding back? We might as wel
Join in with the gr at throng f advertisers
again and help finish you up quickly.
Only last week we read about a man who
sat in his easy chair reading a newspaper,
when without a moment's warning he fell
back dead. Now he might have been reaaing
an editorial, but doubtless it was an "ad,"
who knows? For both are liable to be "live
wires" and charged to shock or kill tender
hearted, uninsulated people or those who
love truth and veracity, (oh undoubtedly we
shall have to apologize to the editor for this
next week or else pay an advanced rate).
Why we have seen statements in the 'ads" ol
some ot our competitors that we would, in
view of above named tatal result, no -more
think ot reading without insulating ourselves
on a rutber air cushion and wearing rubber
rim eye glasses than we would ol steadying
our favorite washerwoman while she hangs
her washing over a live trolly wire. Strange
what stunning, staggering statements we ad
vertisers sometimes make. i. e., "elegant
plush rockers this ne k. at 08c each: sold
elsewhere at $i.S0, etc, etc." Now if you have
ever followed our ads you have doubtless no
ticed that we have never quoted a single
price nor held out any alluring ide walk de
ceptive baits ot this kind Our prices are
marked In plain figures and are all con si 8
tent one with another and you can buy what
you want, without feeling when you get
home that you got a bargain on one piece.but
got stuck on all the rest. We have not been
advertising ot late but you surely havn't for
gotten Hawlevville nor the immense ard
carelully selected stock of furniture we carry
there. We venture to say there is not another
concern in the state so lavorably located that
iney can uegn to oo tne volume ot business
we do on our small expenses, and exnenseis
certainly hold the balance of power in these
naru nines.
We shall continue to advertise lrom this
time on and tell you more about Hawleyville

at
The postponed bearing on the applica
tion and remonstrance in the case of John j
a. oosteuo, who baa made application to
the county commissioners (or a license to
sell intoxicating liquors at his new build
ing at Sandy Book, came off before the
county commissioners at the Town hall
on Saturday last, at 11 o'clock. New.
town people seem to take a keen interest
in the practice of law, for there was
large number of spectators present at the
bearing. Attorney W. J. Beecher ap
peared for the remonstrants and Attor
ney Allan W. Paige of Bridgeport for the
applicant. County Commissioners Houl-
man, rvowiana ana Meaa were all pres
ent and shortly after 11 o'clock called for
the witnesses in the case.
John H. Costello, the applicant, first
testified substantially that he was the ap
plicant in the case and made the applica
tion which bore the date of October 15,
1894. That at the time he lived in Poh
tatuck district but had 6ince moved to
Sandy Hook district. That at the time
he made application he had no place in
which to do business, but expected to
have a place of some kind ready before
the license would be granted. He then
described the rooms of the building,their
use and connections. He testified that in
addition to running the liquor business
he intended keeping a livery stable, hav
ing a bowling alley, dances, balls, sup
pers, variety shows, and a hotel where
actors and r jesses could stop if they
wisuea ; snouia Keep a register and
would like a hotel license. That he had
three children aged eight, nine and 16 re
spectively. That there were already sev
en saloons within a distance of one and
one quarter miles on the main road from
Newtown to Southbury. That there had
never before been an application made
for the placd he intended opening.
Drank Wright was called and testified
that he was the assistant town clerk and
identified the checking book of the sec
ond voting district.
Charles M. Beresford testified that he
was one of the registrars of the second
voting district at the last election and at
that time there were 230 electors in the
districts of Sandy Hook and Pobtatuck.
That he was a farmer and had lived in
Sandy Hook for 15 or 20 years and that
was the center of trade for a radius of
three or four miles around.
Rev P. Fox next took the witness
chair. He testified to being the pastor of
St Rose'd church and the gentleman who
filed the remonstrance. That be knew
Mr Costello and knew the place he in
tended opening and that a msjority of the
employe', of the Rubber company were
his parishioners and were married men
with families to support. That he did
not object to Mr Costello personally but
objected to the place and the having of
another saloon in Sandv Hook as he
thought there were enough there already
and the people needed no more tempta
tions put before them. In his opinion
such a place as Mr Costello testified that
he intended keeping would not be to the
well being of his parishioners living in
Sandy Hook. To questions put by Law
yer Paige he further testified that he
should object to any more licenses beirg
granted in Sandy Hook, it mattered not
who the applicant might be, as he thought
there were enough there already. That
he knew the saloon keepers in Sandy
Hook. That there were eight saloons at
the Hook when he first came there, but
only seven now. He should object es-"
pecially to a license for that place as he
considered it would be very harmful.
A recess was taken for the dinner hour
and Father Daley took the witness chair
in the afternoon and testified substantial
ly to the same as testified by Father Fox.
For the well being of the people he
thought there were already seven saloons
too many at Sandy Hook. Father Daley
was the last witness for the remonstrants.
Charles W. Dayton was the first wit
ness for the applicant and testified that
he saw no objection to the place Mr Cos
tello proposed keeping. Lawyer Beech
er questioned him and the additional
facts were brought out that personally
be was satisfied to have another saloon
in Sandy Hook. If the people wanted
another place he didn't care, and he
thought the temptation would not be in
creased, as when the number of saloons
got up to five or six the chance to in
crease the temptation was practically
gone. That he didn't see how a variety
show would increase the temptation to
drink, but a bowling alley might. That
he didn't think another saloon was a ne
cessity for the 230 elector;, but that Mr
Costello's place was as suitable as any.
William J. Kitby testified that he was
workman in the Rubber shop and didn't
see why the place Mr Costello intended
keeping was not as suitable as any. He
thought the accessories did not make any
difference as to the temptation. . He
thought another saloon not a necessity
but he thought that on account of the
large amount of money Mr Costello bad
expended he should have a license and
thought the place as suitable as any in
town.
Mr Costello again took the stand and
testified that the value of the place was
$15,000 and he had three acres of land.
Thomas J. Corbett testified that in his
opinion it was a suitable location. Law
yer Beecher questioned him and further
brought Out that he was married, had a
wife and four young children, was a
Bchool teacher and interested in the mor
als of the young, and a member of the
board of education, and asked him If un
der these circumstances he wanted anoth
er saloon. . Mr Corbett said he thought it
a suitable place, with the qualification
that he did not suppose he was to be call
ed to the witness stand and did not testi
fy aa an expert. He was asked If be
neara tne testimony regarding the uses
changed his opinion aa to the suitability
but said he could not tell, he waa not an
expert. At this point the case rested.
Mr Beecher argued that aa counsel be
objected to Mr Costello's having a license
on the ground that be had not complied
with the law in that when he made appli
cation he Lad no place In which to do
business, when the law said a place must
be designated. That we say it is not a
suitable place as there are enough sa
loons in Sandy Hook already and if such
ia the case it is the duty of the commis
sioners to refuse the license. The testi
mony showed that there were seven sa
loons on the main road within a mile and
a quarter and In these districts there
were only 230 electors, with their wives,
to whom they bad a right to sell, and
another saloon was not to the well being
of the place. He then scored Messrs Kir
by, Dayton and Corbett for coming be
fore the commissioners and testifying aa
to its being a suitable place, and praised
the courage of . the reverend gentlemen
who had had the courage to come in and
oppose the granting of the license. In
closing be summed it up by saying that
legally they bad no right to grant the
license. It waa not a suitable place aa
there Were too many saloons already and
in the interest of good government, good
morals and decency it should not be
granted.
Mr Paige for the applicant arraed taat
the commissioners having been la office
for two years past were familiar with
cases of the kind and he regarded the
form of the application adequate aa it
stated in a general way a building, which
was customary in small v Usees where
the streets were not numbered. The on- -
ly objections raised were that it was not
suitable location and that it would
tend to lessen morality, which he consid
ered did not have much leeal weip-hf-
He thought the reverend gentlemen took
unusual interest in this case, and if tbev
fought this license they should fight them
i.
At this point the Grand Central team
arrived and the commissioners and attor
neys were driven down to Sandy Hook
inspect the building. The decision
to
was reserved.
