A Vote of Thanks.

A village in New England came into possession of neat and much needed town hall, the gift of public spirited citi- zens. When completed meeting was held to dedicate the new building. Speeches were made by prominent citi- zens, and special reference was naturally made to the chief benefactor and to those who had been most active in forwarding the enterprise.
 One speaker mentioned the names of five or six of these citizens, and sug- gested that vote of thanks be rendered them. This was done.
 A moment later little wizen faced old man arose in the back part of the hall, and, in a sharp, penetrating voice, called,
 MT. Cheerman! MT. Cheermanv'
 The speaker being recognized, he pro- ceeded:
 T jist wanted to say that there's them ez hain't been mentioned ez hey done ez much ez them ez hez. z.'-Youth's Com- nanipn

The Business Fast Relaps1nS Into
 Innocuous Desuetude.
 James Curley, who for several nights recently made his rendezvous at the police station, was brought before the court this morning charged with drunk enness and vagrancy. He has been try ing to obtain board for the winter at the town house for number of weeks, but the selectmen have turned a deaf ear to his tales of woe. Curley said he had been to New Haven, but could secure no work except two hours job cutting kindling wood for the Associated Chari- ties, which nearly cost him the end of his thumb. He was sentenced to thirty days in jail for drunkenness and sixty days for vagrancy.
 Max Kementsky, Russian peddler, was charged with stealing pocketbook containing S3 from the house of Mrs Annie Mraz on West Side hill. Through NJ. J. Brezezinski, who acted as inter- preter Kementsky denied the charge. He was searched by Officer Blakeley half an hour after the alleged theft was committed but the money could not be found. Judge Bradstreet gave him the benefit of reasonable doubt and he was set free.

LISTING JANUARY,
The First Month Presented Many
 Climatic Surprises.

The First Month Presented Many
 Climatic Surprises.
 Seldom does the thermal record for the month of January compare with the one just ended. Beginning with the balmy air of April, the temperature re- mained at remarkable uniformity dur ing most of the month. There were eleven of the thirty one nights when the mercury did not fall to freezing point At midday of the 2nd, 4th, and 25th, the mercury registered 70 degrees from the suns rays. On the Sth the temperature registered at midday ,56 deg in the shade. The To vest temperature was experienced on the morning of the 20th, s deg above zero. There were three periods of modified cold waves extending from the 18th to the 20th, 22d to 24th, and 29th to 30th. No srowfalls occurred until the 20th, when depth of six inch es was precipitated, which, however, turned to rain after continuing for six hours. Other snowfalls came in the form of light squalls on the 2Sth and 29th. Rainfalls occurred during 10 days. A north wind prevailed during IS days, it was from the southern quarter during nine, while on four days it was variable. Gales were experienced on the 9th, 18th, 17th and 21st. Thee were five perfectly clear days, IS partly clear and cloudy, during the month. The atmospheric phenomenon known as ''sun rays" pre- ceded storms on the Sth, 18th and 24th Lightning was observed in some parts of the state on the evening of the 31st.

An Interesting Case.

The payment of an insurance policy of $5, 900 on the life of "Doc' Haggerty, a teamster, who was so thoroughly blown away by the explosion of a wagon load of nitro -glycerine which he was driving, near Pleasantville, Pennsylvania, that not more than pound of his body was found, is being disputed by the com- panies interested, on the ground that such utter annihilation was Impossible even with so powerful an explosive. They claim that the "remains" found are no proof that Haggerty is dead. Interesting testimony is being gathered to show that nitro-glycerine has proved at times more of an eraser of human identity than the Pleasantville incident would indicate.- Harper's Bazar.

TO BE OR NOT TO BE.
Waterbury Hungry Por a Live
 Game of Base Ball.

Waterbury Hungry Por u Lively Game of Base Ball.
 When base ball flickered out of the life of Waterbury last season after struggling for nearly five years against combination of circumstances that proved fatal to New Britain, Meriden, Hartford. Bridgeport and New Haven in the order named, the small band of enthusiasts who had been paying the freight swore by the great horn spoon that Waterbury would be hungry for base ball before another team was placed in the field. And they were in dead earnest.
 The dissolution of the New England league and the effort of Managers Powers of Jersey City and Burnham of WorceS ter to establish new circuit taking in two or more Connecticut cities revived the sleeping interest in the sport in this city and everybody is talking base ball. Since the DEMOCRAT has began the agitation dozens of erstwhile lovers of the sport have expressed their intention of attending every game if somebody would only take the matter in hand. A few advise going back to the old grounds and one man is willing to put money in team if the old grounds are reitted. The Sun of to-day says: John J. Bur dock, the old second baseman of the Boston club, and of last seasons Brook | lyn team, will go to Hartford in a few days with the intention of organizing a | team in that city and entering the new Atlantic league. Burdock thinks that | his chances for success are of the best, as he has received promises of good back ing. He is of the opinion that he can get Gov Bulkeley, Joseph Barbour, Mir Burr and Senator Hawley to put up enough money tO.at least put the team on good footing. Burdock is going to make a big effort to make the club a suc- | cess.
 For manager of a club in this city a number of players might be suggested. Joe Start of the old Providence team,
 who is looking for a position as umpire, could probably be secured to manage a team and play first base. Joe Battin s
 release might be secured from Syracuse
 for a nominal sum and Joe is good
 man. Jack Remsen is also fancy free
 and might be suitable man. Billy Hol-
 bert of the old Metropolitans is organiz- ing team to place in some enterprising city and might come here. Any num-
 Der of players could be secured at reason able prices.
 The Scranton team has disbanded and
 it is more than probable that Wilkesbarre
 will follow suit throwing a number of
 valuable players upon cold and cruel
 world. John Fitzgerald of this city
 who did such excellent work in the box
 for WilkeSbarre last season, is among the number and would without much doubt , like to play in team representing his native city. Dick Burns, Waterbury S5 Ed Beecher and other good players vii
 also be made free to sign by the dissolu
 tion of Wilkesbarre and Scranton.

REMOVAL OF FATHER FINNEGAN.
Appointed Pastor of St Anthony,s
 Church. Iitchfield

Appointed Pastor of St Anthony's
 Church. Litchfield.
 The congregation of the church of the Immaculate Conception will learn with considerable sorrow that Rev P. H. Fin negan, assistant pastor of the church, has received notification from Right Rev Bishop McMahon of his appointment to the pastorate of St Anthony's church, Litchfield. of which Rev T. R. Sweeney has been pastor for the past three years Rev Father Finnegan has labored in this city for nearly eleven years, coming here from St Patrick's church New Haven. He was also stationed in the early days of his priesthood in other parishes of this diocese. Father Finnegan has never accepted the responsibilities of a parish owing to uncertain health. A few months ago he took sea voyage which benefited him greatly, and the invig- orating air of Litchtield it is hoped will restore him to complete health. He leaves Waterbury with much regret hav ing made hosts of friends among all classes during his long stay here.

Small Houses in Philadelphia.

One family of about five persons to 3 dwelling is the usual Philadelphia rule. Taking that as the average, Philadel- phia built dwelling houses in 1889 for 7,67s families, or 8s,865 people. That the love of home-a sepafate dwelling delphia is shown by the increased pro- portion of two story dwellings erected In 1888, nearly 8,00O of these little houses, provided with "modern conve- niences," having been erected during the year.-Philadelphia Ledger.

She Carried Him Of.

A charming old lady, worth her mill ions, called at carpenter shop the other day, bearing in her hand neat little basket. Have you a comfortable chair in the shop?" she asked of the carpenter.
 "A comfortable chair?" he repeated, doubtfully.
 "Yes," she sweetly said. "I have come to stay until you have man ready to go back to my house with me and do the work that you have been promising to do for three weeks. have brought my luncheon and book, and, If you haven't comfortable chair, I'll have the car riage cushions brought in.

The Banns Should be Published.

A young couple married in Ansonia, Nov 17. passed as single people till the minister weekago accidentally gave the thing away. Such case illustrates mildly the need of law requiring those who offciate at a marriage to advertise the fact in a local newspaper. The cus- tom of publishing the banns, once the rule in the Congregational and Episcopal churches, now observed in the Catholic church was based on sound reasons. By publishing the fact of marriage many scandals would be avoided.-Naugatuck Review,
