ADJUSTMENTS,
Barry and Fay,


 There are great many comedians, but the most irresistible of the whole profession are Barry and Fay. Seldom is such utter abandonment to mirth seen as was witnessed at the Grand opera house last night. Old, straight-lace acknowledged citizens, seldom known to smile. threw themselves into all sorts of contortions and whooped and yelled like school boys. A man in the very jaws of destruction would be bound to laugh at McKennas f1irtation.-N. Y. Times. At the opera house tonight.
 Little Lord Fauntleroy.
 The story of ''Little Lord Fauntleroy has it's strength in its pathos. There is very little of sadness in it, the pathetic not being attained by playing upon the chords of emotion by pictures of afflic- tion or sorrow on the contrary, hap piness and good cheer shine forth at every turn, giving comfort to those who live in the hour being with the char acters and yet at the same time so touch. ing their hearts that unconsciously the lump rises in their throat and the teal comes to the eye. It is the sweetness ot character of the little boy-kero, his ten. derness and love, that so rouses the sympathy and gives pathos to the story that begins, continues, and ends ir almost constant sunshine.-Boston Jour nal. At the opera house Wednesday af ternoon and evening.

CannOnading for Rain.

A rather peculiar petition was pre- sented to the Kansas house by MT. Sher- man, of Rocks county. It was from 132 citizens of that county. They want the legislature to make an appropriation for the purpose of experimenting in the mat ter of securing artificial rainfall by means of cannonading. The petition was as follows: "We, your petitioners, many of us veterans of the late war, knowing from experience that heavy rainfalls fol- lowed each battle or heavy cannonading, and believing that this fact indicates that man may produce rainfall by artificial perturbation of the atmosphere when otherwise it would not be experienced, and believing it would be wise for the state of Kansas to make a reasonable ex- pertinent in the matter of attempting to produce artificial rainfall, would most respectfully ask you to make an appro- priation out of the treasury for the pur- pose of such experiments either by can nonading or otherwise as may be deemed best.

A Queer Statue of Queen Victoria.

Everybody knows that the Princess Louise is not mere amateur dabbler, but real artist in sculpture, and the statue of the queen on which she is en- gagged, and which is to be erected in Kensington Gardens, between the palace and the round pond, will certainly be as daring in design as it will be novel, It is intended to represent her majesty as she appeared on the memorable morning in June, 1887, when it was announced to her that she was queen of England. It will be remembered-Sir George Hayter's picture has commemorated it-that upon the occasion the Princess Victoria ap- peared in the scantiest of attire-a mere robe de nuit, with shawl hastily flung over it. Rumor has it that the Princess Louise is succeeding in giving to this decidedly unconventional attire the ap- pearance of quite classical drapery.- London Life.

THE ASSESSORS ARE ANGRY,
Somebody Will Be Forced to Eat .
 Dish of Crow.

Chauncey B. Webster and Gordon B. Lawrence, of the board of assessors, called at the DEMOCRAT office to-day to correct the peculiar figures printed in Saturday evenings American, in its re- equalization of the towns grand list and the decreases and increases as regulated by the assessors and board of relief.
 According to the figures given, 3, ,437 houses were taxed on the list of 1887 while on the last list there are but 3.3S9 accounted for, decrease of AS houses. These figures are false and place the as- sessors i'll a bad position. Upon the list of 1887 the number of houses taxed was 3,431 and the list of 1888 shows 3,6O3, an increase of 172 houses.
 Most of the houses built during the year were placed upon the list at $500 the great majority of them being built in the suburbs.
 The assessors having explained the in constituencies of the figures in regard to | the number of houses do not hesitate to challenge the accuracy of the other | figures in the Americans report. They also desire to state that c. Hauser is not member of the board of assessors neither is John Thompson one of the board of rtl eff.

Hens yersus Cows.

A few miles from the city of London resides gentleman and his good wife, owning and tilling fifty acres of land. The gentleman has always had great faith in his cows paying well, but thought the hens bill of expense. The lady, on the other hand, contended that the hens paid better than the cows. Ac- cordingly one spring she determined to keep books for one season and ascertain the respective merits of both. She cred ited the hens with all eggs laid, and in- teresting indeed was the contest as the time drew nigh for receiving the check from the cheese factory. But it came at last, and behold, the hens were ahead, and so it continued throughout the sea- son.
 One hundred hens to three COWS, and as they had decided in the spring that it would cost about tho same to keep each, the gentleman was forced to yield the point and admit that the hens were most profitable; and if others would keep an exact account they would be surprised at the result, but most farmers do not give their hens credit for anything ex- cept what eggs are taken to market. Il is not at all difficult to make hens pay S1 per head per annum if properly cared for. The writer on one occasion made S3 per head on five dark Brahma hens after paying all expenses. This, it will be understood, was per eggs and meat alone, not for breeding stock, as half 6 dollar was the highest price realized fol young birds.-Farmers' Advocate.

That Settles It.

I met the Hon. Fernando Jones yester- day and, among other things, he asked me if I had read the recent discussion about the headwaters of the Mississippi. "It revived an old story in my mind" he said. Henry R. Schoolcraft, cele- brated traveller and writer, in his account of it said the lake was called Itasca, after two Latin words signifying true head. puzzled myself over this good deal and asked him one day how he made it. He replied: Quite easily. Veritas means true and caput head. Striking off the first syllable of the first word and tho last syllable of the other one you have Itasca-ver-Itas ca-put.' It is equal, said MT. Jones, ito Lorenzo Dow's cele brated text against the fashion of higl head dresses: Let him who is on the house top not come down. '"-CEicage Times.

GAMBLER G'S.DEFIANCE. He Will Play Policy In Spite of the

Fred King, the policy King of Brook street, declares that he will continue in the business in spite of anybody whether the court of common council re-adopts the ordinance prohibiting gambling or not. At least one of the devotees of the game so informs a DEMOCRAT reporters King hints that he has pull" that will keep him from getting into trouble. Since the DEMOCRAT began to show up King and his ''skin" business trade has fallen off. Many erstwhile good GUS toners, who would not have it known | that they were ten cent gamblers, have kept away from the shop, knowing that it was under the watchful eyes of the press.
 The police have taken bearings and | are only waiting for the common coun- cil to say the word, before they clese up | the business.
 New Haven and New London have recently passed ordinances prohibiting gambling and Waterbury should follow suit. At to-night's meeting of the com mon council some good democrat or re- publican, it matters not which, shou, d move to re-adopt the following section of the city ordinance relating to good
 order and decency:

 council of the city of Waterbury: Sec S-Every room in said city, kept
 or used for any gambling or gaming

 permit such room to be used for any
 such purpose, and every person who shall act as dealer, counter, tallyman, stakeholder or manager of any such gambling, gaming or hazard, and every
 person keeping or managing, or assisting
 in keeping or managing any policy

 office in this city or elsewhere, shall be
 deemed guilty of causing and maintain,

 John CaShen, a boiler-maker, was ar rested by Officer Thomas on Grand street yesterday morning in helpless state of intoxication.

 | In the spirituous side of the court Mrs John Lawlor was charged with allowing minors to loiter in her saloon on East Main street. The only witness was Louis Taylor, the same who has appeared in several liquor cases recently. He said he was in Mrs Lawlor's saloon about five weeks ago. Mrs Lawlor refused to sell him drinks, but allowed him to remain in the saloon about fifteen minutes. The bartender testified that Taylor remained in the saloon not longer than two min utes. Judge Bradstreet found the ac cused guilty and imposed fine of S1( and costs. An appeal was taken.

The steward of Mir. Vanderbilt's yacht Ava entered a large fruit and confec- tionery store on Baltimore street just be- fore the yacht sailed and purchased nearly $75 worth of confectionery and fruits. Before leaving he asked for some hothouse grapes, and was told by the proprietor that the price would be S6 per pound. The steward gave an order for ten pounds and asked that they be sent to Mr. Vanderbilt's yacht. The store keeper declined to fill the order, because he did not know of MT. Vanderbilt.
