the shades ; the stitchings ; the
buttons there's always some
thing noticeably different about
them, and most of all about
the fit ! ! ! We keep gloves to suit
all shaped hands and make a study
of fitting the wearer, so that the
greatest possible satisfaction goes
.with every pair we sell.

court this-morning Avfth' flieft of .$1
and breach of the peace. Meyers lives
on tile Coiner of South Elm and Union
streets and Storm ot '4 Walnut street.
Every Sunday afternoon for some time
the above, with a number of other
boys, have been accustomed to gather
at the comer of East Main street aud
play hand-ball. Some of the neighbors
objected and some enjoyed it. Among
the former were Marie Selloury. who
claimed that last Sunday she was hit
by a stone thrown by the accused and
that they 'also struck her daughter
Theresa. The boys claimed that their
accusers enjoyed the game of ball for
two hours, and then ordered them
away. They moved to another part of
the street and while playing there the
complainants threw water ou them.
The boys being apparently respectable
were let off with a warning. After
court they were further detained by
the chief of police. There being no ev
idence Oif theft, they were discharged
on that complaint. The famous milk
cases were further adjourned for two
weeks.

TEWKSBURY FOUND.
MIssiuK Broker Kotv Cuttlnit a Wide
Svratli In M41I00.
NEW YORK, Dec. 11. Having been
missing from his otliee in this city since
July 13 last, Lewis G. Tewksbury. a
stockbroker who owes, it is said, nearly
"500,(WIO, is reported to have been found
living iu the City of Mexico under an
nssnmed name. A number of those who
knew him hero arc endeavoring to con
firm the report.
Tewksbury's oflice was at S'J Broad
way, and the money is said to have been
intrusted to his care.
It is said that he has high connection
with officials of the Mexican govern
ment and the city. His otliee is in the
Callo dc San Francisco, one of the finest
business streets in that city. Mr.
Tewksbury when seen admitted his iden
tity, hut refused to she out any state
ment as to when he would return to New
York.
According to the report, he was rec
ognized by a New York woman who
knew him well by sight and who says
he is living iu sumptuous style and has
the cohlidence of every one. No one ques
tions his honesty. He is a favorite with
President Dia2 and his ministers, and it
!s said he has received $125,000 worth
of contracts since his arrival there. Out
side of his business hours he devotes a
Cleat deal of his time fo society and
driving fast horses in the parks, as was
his custom here.
Tewksbury, who loved to pose as a
multimillionaire, disappeared very sud
denly on July 13 of th year. The firm
of Lewis G. Tewksbury & Co., bankers
and brokers, of which he was head, clos
ed its doors on July 13, and a member of
the firm declared that Tewksbury had
absconded with ull the firm's assets.
Tewksbury's defalcations were said at
the time to 'amount to $500,000. Tewks
bury's night was made known when Mr.
Browning Johnson, a client, sued the
firm aud was granted an attachment.
Tewksbury caine here from Manches
ter, N. H. He lived in magnificent style
in West Seventy-second street at oue
time, but sold his house in 1S9S. lie
was fond of fiist horses cud bought John
R. Gentry and Robert J, the fastest pac
ers on the turf, for his private use.
His affairs seemed to take a sudden
turn two years before the time of his
Uight. He sold his horses, but still seem
ed to have r'oney.
Tewksbury's disappearance created a
great stir in Wall street, as it was gen
erally believed that he was a wealthy
man. He was a great lover of art, and
his home in this city was tilled with
many art treasures. Some of them are
said to be now in his office in Mexico.
GERMANY AND KRUGER.
Chancellor -von Baloir Explains the
Position Taken.
BERLIN, Dec. 11. The imperial chan
cellor. Count von Bulow, replying in the
reiehstag to a question' on the subject of
Mr. Kruger's failure to be received by
Emperor William, said the government
did all in its power to ward off war and
left the two republics iu no doubt as to
the state of uft'airs in Europe aud as tj
German neutrality. When, in 181'9, the
question of arbitration seemed not alto
gether eNcluded, the government recom
mended it to Mr. Kruger. He thought
the time had not yet cyme. When Mr.
Kruger later sought intervention his feel
ings were too highly inllated for the
Dutch and German governments. Fo;
the German government it was lost time
to give advice. Germany was convinced
that any step of a great power at thai
moment would be critical and lead to n
result. "There was no use for us." said
the chancellor, 'to piuC-U our fingers be
tween the1 door ai:d thu hinge.' The
chancellor added that when the sugges
tion of mediation was made to Great
Britain by the United States in a cpui.e
gently worded inquiry it was rejected c:i
ficially and categorically. Intervention
might have led to war.
Although the Kruger matter will l.e
taken up again in the reiehstag. Count
von Billow's speech, evidently prepared
with great care, was so overwhelming in
its array of .powerful facts that it
amounted to a sweeping victory over the
entire upposition. The imperial chancel
lor's involuntary humor and his particu
larly apt quotations extolled hearty
la tighter from his bitterest opponents. So
far as German politics go the incident is
closed.
The budget eomi iittce of the rcic-Ustag
has adopted a resolution that the Chi
nese expeditionary corps must be dis
solved after it has finished its duty ia
China.

to collect penalties for the illegal sale ef

alties amount to nearly .il.TMO.OUO. aud
the state has spent about $1,000 in the
litigation. The Armors offered when
Frank S. Black was governor t compro
mise, for $20,000 under a special act of
the legislature which authorized such a
settlement. Governor Black declined tj
sanction the compromise. Tl..' papers in
the case are now before Justice Frank
II. Hiscock.
Frank H. Piatt, who defended the Ar
mours as their counsel, has asked for the
dismissal of the suits, and Attorney Gen
eral John C. Davies has practically con
curred by informing Justice Hiscock that
the prosecution has not evidence to sus
tain the charges because papers and
beoks of the New York- Central and
Hudson River Railroad company and
other transportation corporations have
been destroyed under their system of pe
riodically destroying accumulations. The
counsel for the New York Central sahl;;
that the company was never a party , to

WHO SHALL IT BE?
Talking Up a Successor to Prosecuting
Attorney Brouson.
Though months must pass before the
expiration of Attorney Bronson's term
as prosecutor in the district court takes
place, the lawyers are already begin
ning to surmise who his successor
will bo. It is understood that Mr Bron
son will not be reappointed, for it
was to effect his removal that Judge
Cowell was not nominated for either
branch of the legislature last fall. And
his reappointment will rest to a great
extent upon his promise to remove Mr
Bronson. During the election cam
paign this matter was discussed more
or less and Mr Bronson was credited
with saying that he did not care a rap
whether or not he would be reappoint
ed. Report based on fairly good grounds
has it that Mr Bronson's successor will
be the present deputy .judge of the dis
trict and city courts. A. 1'. Bradstreet.
There can be no stronger objection to
his being appointed to the deputy
judgeships, and strong and many as
they were, they have beeii overcome.
But the row raised by Attorney Ken
drick some time ago over Judge Brad
street practicing in his own court and
the objection by the powers that are
and will be to Mr Bronson being re
tained in his present office have all
teuded to smooth' the way toward the
appointing of Judge Bradstreet to the
pKisecutorship. The only possible ob
jection that can be raised against his
being appointed to this oflice is that
which was raised against his getting
the judgeship, lie is a. non-resident of
the city. But it cannot be said that he
is a non-resident of the jurisdiction of
the court, so that removes all the
grounds for reasonable objection.
The salary of the prosecuting officer
is .Sl.rioo and almost nothing to do,
while the salary of the deputy judge is
regulated per diem and there is a
whole lot tt do. In other words, it
does not pay a lawyer of Judge Brad
street's practice to bo a deputy judge
of the district court, even if what was.
said some time ago was true, which it
was not. that he earned last year $2,000
as deputy Judge of that court. This
otliee interferes with Judge Brad
street's practice: the work of prosecut
ing attorney would not interfere, but
on the contrary would promote it.
SIDNEY M'NEIL'S LETTER.
Some riain Statements of Life in the
Philippines.
A Waterbury man who is doing ser
vice In the Philippines writes to a
friend in this city as follows:
"The Philippines are a bunch of
trouble on the horizon of civilization.
They are bounded on the west by hoo
doolsm and smuggling, on the north by
rocks and destruction, on the east by
typhoons and monsoons, and on the
south by cannibals and earthquakes.
The climate is a deceptive combination
of changes well adapted to' raising
Cain. The soil is very fertile and
large crops of insurrection and treach
ery are produced. The inhabitants are
very industrious, their chief occupa
tion being trench digging and the mak
ing of bolos. Their houses are made
chiefly of bamboo and landscape. The
Philippine marriage service is very
impressive, especially a clause wherein
the wife is given the privilege of work
ing as much as her husband desires.
The chief amusements ore cock fight
ing and stealing. The principal diet is
fried rice, boiled rice, stewed rice, and
rice. The beast of burden is the car
ribou. and should a journey of 100
miles be undertaken the driver would
die of old age before reaching his des
tination. Malarial fever is so preval
ent that on many occasions the islands
have been shaken as by a chill or be
cause of the vibration of the popula
tion. The natives are very friendly
at tho point of your gun. Such is the
condition of this dirty country where
Americans are dying every, day to
save sugar for the trusts. Tou may
not regard this as a good account of
the place, but it is true nevertheless.
"I still remain, as ever,
"SIDNEY M'XEIL."
