its victims suffer untold agonies so obstinate

POLITICAL UNION THE ISSUE.
The Result of the Election for Mayor a
 Most Significant One.

The Successful Candidate Invited to Test
 the Strength of Annexation Feeling-A
 Surprise for His Opponents The 0ues-
 ton WIn Now be Agitated Throughout
 the Dominion.
 OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 3.-Thcro is great rejoicing in the camp of those who are advocating closer trade and political relations with the United States. Sol White, the out-and-out anncxatiolist, has been elected on that ticket Mayor of the old conservative town of Wind sor This is the first signal victory and by many is believed to be tho be- ginning of the end as regards the ulti- mate political destiny of Canada.
 Sol White is ranked among the ablest lawyers in the Dominion. Until re- gently he was strong Conservative and sat in the Ontario Legislature. He was trusted and confidential party worker for both Meredith and Sir John Mac donald, and the latter is down-hearted at learning that one of his henchmen has bsen tho first to appeal to the poo plo of Canada on the platform of politi- cal union with the United States and carry his appeal to a successful issue.
 MT. White takes tho ground that the future welfare of Canada depends not upon British connection, but upon po- litical union with the United States The former, he contends, is Q standing menace against the development of the country. He holds that nature mover intended there should be a customs line between Canada and tho United States, and that one form of govern ment should control the affairs of the whole North American Continent
 The question of political union with the neigh boring Republic has now been made a live issue in Canada, and, on. couragod by the success of MT. White has mot with, many adherents will bo found supporting the movement who have been up to tho present moment re. strained from announcing their views by feelings of delicacy of standing alone. MT. White will now follow up tho movement by . vigorous campaign, and will run for tho Dominion Parlia. ment on the same ticket the next gen. oral election.
 It is only 8 flow weeks since the Tory press of Canada was stating that pound-keepsr could not be elected in the Dominion on tho ticket of political union with the United States if all tho votes indorsing those views throughout the country were oentered in one con StituSncy,

ELECTRIC EXECUTIONS.

The affirmation of the constitutional ity of the law providing for executions by electricity in New York may be said to settle the question raised by the law yers as to this method of punishment being cruel and unusual, although it is announced that an appeal is to be taken to the court of last resort by the electric companies, who seem to be determined to spare no effort to prevent their process ses from being made the organized agency for infiicting the death penalty. The reference made by the court to the efficacy of the electric current as death dealing agency, as demonstrated by the alarming frequency of deaths by acci- dental contact with electric wires in New York of late. was hardly calculat, d to afford much consolation to the cleo trfc COmDanies

------------------ STOP PAYING RENT.

District Manager l.. P. Knickerbocker would like to call the attention of all those interested in getting themselves a home who are paying rent, that the Mercantile Cooperative Bank of 37 and 80 Wall street, New York, have cstab- lished Branch Office in Waterbury in Platt's block, East Man street, Room l9, with Martin Hellmann as president John B. Vallee, first vice president; George l.. Pelham, second vice president Mathew Kennedy, treasurer; James E. Russell, attorney; William J. Cassidy secretary and local agent, and John II. Fruin, Thomas F. Dougherty and Mathew Kennedy, appraisal committee. This is the best system of enforced savings, while all members nave an equal voice in the management.

Money is loaned at fixed rate of interest and on fixed premiums in any amounts, to be paid back monthly in PLACE OF RENT. Shareholders have absolute security for their money and they are assured large profits on their investment. Members may apply for q loan at any time. A new series will commence January 1st.

Terror Bordering on Frenzy and tho 1m-
 perinl Guard Strengthened.
 ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. S.-There was great alarm last night, caused by a false report of tho Cars death.
 There are indications that his Majcsty's condition is moro serious than is publicly given out. The Inn perial Guard, greatly strengthened, is on constant duty, and all public functionaries seem to be laboring under some unusual strain. It is impossible to learn whether tho Cars illness is from influenza or whether he has been poisoned.
 His Majesty is in a state of alarm bordering on frenzy, and those who have been numbered among his most intimate attendants are actually afraid to go near him lest his torror assume a violent phase.
 Thirty-two officers have been arrested charged with being members of secret society, the object of which is to abol- ish the aristocracy and the establish ment of a constitutional monarchy.

Their TAroats Cut by Robbers and Both

 PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 8.-A mysterious assault, which threatens to end fatally. was made on two old women, Sarah Kelly, aged nearly 70, and Annie Kelly, aged 72.
 Inc two women are sisters and live alone in an old two-story building on Master street.
 They had considerable money about the house, and the attack on their lives was probably made for the purpose of robbery. The throats of both women are horribly cut, and one of them had barely strength enough to call neigh bor to their assistance by signs. They were removed to St. Marys Hospi- tai.
 Three men residing in the neighbor hood were arrested.

 thirty of the lot are in state prison as a reward for their pains. Regular death, in the regular way, is the only thing that will bring the cash, and some of the companies hate to let go of it oven then. "

The New York Movement TO Help Shop
Girls Not Needed Here - Employers
Claim They Are Well Paid and Treated

The New York Movement TO Help Shop
Girls Not Needed Here - Employer,
Claim They Are Well Paid and Treated
HandsomeIy-whnt Storekecpers Say.
The organization of a consumers league
by the Working Woman's Association ol
New York City, whose object will be the
amelioration Of the lot of the shop girl, and
Will be gained through systematized boycot-
ting OF employers who are not kind to their
employees, does not affect the equilibrium of
Plttsburg merchants in the least.
Mr.. Morris Baer, representing Kauf-
manns. said yesterday to a reporter for THE
DIsPATCH, after reading report of the pro-
ceedings In New York: "Well, if the girls are
treated there as this report states, compelled
to work over hours, and fined If moment
late, etc., etc., L think it is high time
an action of that Kind was taken, but
there is no comparison between the clerks
in Pittsburg and the clerks in the metropo-
lis. There the demand is not as great as the
supply, and consequently the wages are
low and the duties numerous. In our store,
of course | cannot speak for any other, we
pay good wages, the lowest received
by any lady in our employ being So
a week and from that up to $18. We con-
slider them just as good as men, and we do
not expect as much of them in the way of
work. They do not commence work until 8
o'clock and every night but Saturday they
leave at 6, and at 10 o'clock on Saturday
night every lady is ready to leave the stores.
Without doubt if such an action is taken in
New York City it will be very effective in
bringing the employers TO their senses.
Self-preservation will demand it" Mr..
Baer further stated that no system Of fines
was used in their store.
Mr.. Durbin Horne said he did not think
such movement would ever be necessary
In Plttsburg, as is proposed in New York,
because the clerks here were treated better
in every way. The hours in the famous
Penn avenue store are from 7:30 to except
In July and August when the store
closes at o'clock. Mr.. Horne said
an effort was made two years ago to close
the store at o'clock on Saturdays during
July and August, but so many complaints
came in from customers that the project had
to be abandoned. The sales people COM
mence at a very low salary with them, but
quickly work up, some getting as high as
S25 week and a percentage of sales be-
sides. Mr. Danziger was urbane and said:
ST should be glad to see such a move
ment In Pittsburg. 1 think girls that are
deserving should be helped in every way
possible"
He refused to tell what salaries he paid,
but said, however, that if a girl was not
worth good salary he did not keep her be-
hind the counter. He expressed himself as
very proud of his lady employees, and still
further speaking of the New York move
ment, said he did not think it would be sue
,essful, nothing attempted by ladies ever
was, as they all wished to be generals.
