HUNDRED OF ROYALTY.

EMPEROR WILLIAM, of Germany, has be- come an active member of the Goethe So@ ciety, which has it's headquarters at Wei mar.
 THE Prince of Wales is showing dis position to make himself useful as well as ornamental. He has invented velvet dress coat
 QUEEN VICToR1A's recent visit to Wales br8gs out the statistlcs that during her reign of over half Q century twelve days only have been spent in Ireland.
 PooR little King Alexandria, of Servia, was merely anointed, not crowned, because the royal exchequer could not stand the ex- pense of procuring crown and other re- galia.
 A GERMAN scientist wishes to determine, by means of photography, if the moon is in- habited, and it is said that the King of Wurtemburg has decided, in order to solve this interesting problem, to cause to be made, in the best possible condition, photographs of the moon; then to enlarge the negative 100000 times.
 THE Queen Regent of Spain and her fam fly were weighed recently at San Sebas- tian. King Alfonso weighs 35 pounds; his mother, the Queen Regent, 11s; his eldest sister, the Princess of the Asturias, 4S; the Infanta Maria Theresa, 45. Tho whole fam- fly, therefore. weighs three pounds less than ex-Queen Isabella, who tips the scale at 249.
 THE plan of honor1ng domestics for long and faithful service is an old one in Dem mark The wife of Frederick VI., the grand mother of the late Frederick VII, formed such society, and the interest of capital then collected is still publicly awarded as premiums by the Queen of Denmark to girls that have served the same family for ten, fifteen and twenty years. It is con- sidered as great an honor to the family as to the girl.
 EMPEROR WILLIAM has but recently hon. ored himself with any high military rank Though as Kaiser he Is the "war lord" of the German army, he remained Brigadier until short while ago, when he rose to be Major-General. Since Queen Victoria made him an Admiral, and the Austrian Emperor made him General, Moltke has urged him to come up to the first rank. and he is now Commanding General.
 THERE is no doubt that Queen Victoria is in very bad health. Her rheumatism has defied treatment, and she has grown very feeble. It is asserted that she wishes to lay her official duties aside Should she do SO, the Prince of Wales would read and sign state documents. In this case he would l assume the title of Prince Regent, and | would enjoy the use of Buckingham Palace | and Windsor Castle. Victoria would retire 1 to Osborne and Balmoral.

THE TOWN TICKET.

The democratic town convention last evening supplemented the excellent work done by the city convention the evening before by the nomination of a strong, well balanced and evenly pro- portloned ticket. It will keep steady and even pace with the city ticket next Monday.
 The nominees for selectmen, Messrs Frederick J. Brown and Maurice F. Car mody, are we'll known democrats who stand we'll with their party associates. Mir Brown has the confidence of his party and has already demonstrated his capacity by work in the harness for any place Of honor or trust to which it may choose to call him. His associate. MT Carmody, is we'll and favorablv known III the community, has a wide circle of personal friends, and will give strength to the town ticket.
 The unanimous nomination of MT James J. Madden for town clerk was a graceful and merited compliment to 2 gentleman who showed last year that he IS made of hestuff that wins. The demo- crats of the town should rejoice that they have it in their power to elect a man town clerk who will be an honor to the party and a most excellent clerk.
 Messrs Fay and Sake will make good assessors, and Messrs Hauser and Maher Will discharge well the duties that will come to them as members of the board Of relief. John c. Thompson as town auditor and Martin Hellman as collector Of taxes are strong men and will lend support to the ticket. The minor places on the ticket were we'll filled by the committee who had in charge the duty of completing it, and taken altogether no better ticket has been presented fol the suffrages oe the town.
 The democratic voters of the city and town have now before them the men for whom they are invited to vote next Monday. They are Tn every instance
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-10-03

good, strong, capable men, men ln whom the party and people generally have confidence; men whose names are a guarantee of efficiency in the discharge of the duties to which they will be called. It becomes the duty now of the party to put it's shoulder to the wheel and elect every man of them next Mon day. We have been having a sort of divided party responsibility in the man. agement of municipal matters for the reason that the offices have been filled by men of different political affilia- tions, and it has been the individual rather than the party that the people have looked to for censure or praise according as the verdict has been on the administration.
 We believe this should be changed.
 Let the democrats rally heartily to the support of their candidates and elect them, and then at the close of the next
 municipal year the party will go before
 case may be. Every democrat noni-
 mated in the last two evenings can be
 elected if only the party will roll up its
 sleeves and set itself heartily to the task.
 They have strong tickets, winning
 tickets but the victory must be won by l earnest, devoted and never faltering watchfulness and effort.
 United action and energetic work is tho Drica of victory at the DOllS next
 Monday.

 SOME one has calculated that the honey bee must insert its proboscis 500 times into clover blossoms before one grain of sugar can be obtained. As honey contains three fourths it's weight of dry sugar, each pound of honey represents 2,5oo,ooo insertions of the bees.
 1 ONE of the architects who helped M. Eiffel to build his tall tower says that 1t is doubtful if a tower 2,OOO feet high can be constructed.

How Drunkards Arc Cured in Norway
 Sterilized Milk.

How Drunkards Arc Cured in Norway
 Sterilized Milk.
 A well-known man, who has recently been in Norway, describes, in the Boston Globe, the treatment of drunkards there. It appears that drunzards are treated as criminals, in this sense, that the inordinate love of alcohol renders them liable to i'm; prisonment, and while in confinement they are cured of the propensity on 8 plan which, although simple, is said to produce marvellous results. From the day the con irmed drunkard is imprisoned no other nourishment is served to him or her but bread and wine. The bread, however, it should be said, can not be eaten apart from the wine, but is steeped in a bowl of it and left to soak thus for an hour or more before the meal is served to the delinquent The first day the habitual topper takes his food in this shape without the slightest repugnance; the second day he finds it less agreeable to his palate, and very quickly he evinces positive aver- sion to it. Generally, the doctor states, eight or ten days of this regimen is moro than sufficient to make 8 man loathe the very sight of wine, and even refuse the, prison dish set before him. This manner of curing drunken habits Is said to succeed all most without exception, and men or women who have undergone the treatment not, only rafely reCuru 10 tnelr eV1l ways, put from sheer disgust they frequently becom total abstainers afterward.,
 It is now recognized as imperative that all cows milk given to young children should be sterilized by boiling where it is not used within three or four hours after it comes; from the cow. And when it is not known that the source of the milk supply is abso- lutely free from all contaminatinR inf1u. ences, then sterilization should be invarias bly practiced, no matter how fresh the milk may be. Considering that this need is gen- erally recognized, it is surprising that some enterprising dairyman has not ere this be- gun to furnish sterilized milk in bottles, tightly corked. It would add but little to- his experse, and such milk would be in de- mand, even at a rate above the usual. Let such Q custom become general and infant mortality in towns and cities, especially in summer, will be much lower than 1t now isy

ANOTHER VETERAN CONE.

Tho saddcst bit of news awaiting the c.ci lic, editor on his return home from av.. aii.n which was spent at Block Island was lhat oi the death of Miles G. Merry, of Lohs,iaie, lh:s State. H demise, at the age of 40, occurred on the Woonsockc Reporter, as q player was we'll known to the older players throughout the world, ana he was beloved by all his intimate acquaintances. Among his intimate friends were tho late R. E. Bowen, of Millbury, and the late Asa Bartlett. These were frequent visitors at his farm in Lonsdale, and many a hundred games were closely contested between these worthiss, occasionally regaling themselves with the famous cider and apples of their genial host. He will be sadly missed at the rooms of the Providence Checker Club, where he was frequent and welcome visitor.

IF prohibition should be adopted the town of Waterbury would lose about S39, ,OOO year that is the revenue from liquor licenses, while in all probability we would have as much liquor drinking as ever. The law would not destroy the appetite for liquor, and while the de- mand existed there would be a supply. Morality would suffer, individual self respect would be injured, and the tinan- cial interests of the community would be disastrously affected. The voters should defeat the prohibitory amend ment next Monday.
 THE Central and South American wis itors started to-day for a tour of the country to see for themselves the won derful manufacturing facilities that we have in this land, the hope being enter tained that it will help to build up trade between the two sections of this conti- nent. But there will be no increase of trade relations while the present absurd and hampering restrictions prevail. The tax on imports prevents us from taking the raw materials the lands to the south of us afford ill exchange for the finished commodities that are needed there, and we cannot get money. The countries of Central and South America are rich ill raw materials, but somewhat pinched for cash, and if trade is to be established with them there must be an exchange of commodities. There can be no inter- national trade without barter, and if we of us we must take their goods ill return for ours. We cannot take them with profit while the war tariff taxes prevail. THE CITIZENS TICKET DODGE.
 It has been rumored that the republi- cans propose to fall back on the musty dodge of naming citizens ticket for city offices, on which democrats are to be placed in the hope of dividing the republicans to slip into office by the back door. Forewarned is to be fore. armed, and the democrats whose names are used in this connection ought tc squelch the scheme by promptly anG unequivocally putting their foot dow1 thereon. The men who have been put in nomination at the democratic conven tions can be elected by democratic votes alone, and every one of them should have interest enough in the success o the men associated with him on tn. ticket to refuse to imperil it by accept ing so-called citizens nomination. ought to be recommendation for de feat in future democratic convention for any democrat to go on a so-callet citizens ticket. These citizens ticket are cunningly designed to divide tn democracy in the hope that with demo cratic votes some lucky devil of repuh lican may be kicked into salarie, berth.
 Democrats will be rightly distrustfu of party associates who accept nomi nation on a citizens ticket, and doubl, so of any man whom the democrati party in convention has already honoret or may honor with place on the ticket Those whose names are mentioned il this connection should hasten to nip til scheme in the bud.
