FIRE LAST NIGHT.
A Close Call for tho Canal Street
 steam Laundry,

Fire was discovered about 7:15 o'clock last evening in the drying room of E. R. Davis & Co.'S laundry on Canal street. The employees of the laundry attempted to extinguish tho blaze without calling out the department, but were unsuc- cessful, and fifteen minutes after the fire was discovered I. H. Kamak rang an alarm from box 3s, opposite the cor ner of Grand and South Main streets. In less than three minutes the fire com panies were at work upon the building and the fire was easily extinguished. The room was pretty we'll charred and a hole was burned through the roof. The washings were all saved and the total loss will not exceed few hundred dol lars. Had the fire gained headway it would have been almost an impossibility to save the many old wooden buildings that surround the laundry

 The departure of the bustle as an art,- Gle of ladies apparel has been accom-
 plished without any very great social convulsion, but the changed appearance
 which its absence imparts, is very mark ed, indeed. Some ladies have not
 wholly dispensed with it, but something more moderate in size than the late ore.
 vailing fashion is worn, which is prob ably preparatory to the final dispensing of the hustle altogether. The changes in fashions are very interesting, and
 pictures of ladies' costumes, even ten years ago, when compared with the present, show contrasts which are very striking, and in some cases, even laugh able. Ladies are extremely particular in conforming to the fashion. A man will sometimes wear hat or a coat which is a little bit out of style. but a lady does not vary from the prevailing styles if there be any way of avoiding
 I find that not few of the many who are opposed to the scheme to remodel the City hall are old-timers who know thing or two about Waterbury and who speak by the book. They ridicule the statement that the necessary alterations can be made for anything like S15, 1000. The actual cost of building the hall was nearly S5O,OOO more than the original estimates, and it is alleged, the cost of making the proposed alterations would be largely in excess of the amount asked to b. gin the work. A business man who is a pretty fair judge, declares that nearly the entire amount asked for would be spent in tearing down the heavy brick dividing walls. If contracts can be made SO that citizens will know what the actual cost of making the i'm Provements will be, the matter may be favorably received
 Now that the shop girls have taken n up the fashion of wearing mems shirt fronts, collars and ties, the horsey girls. who last year took up the fashion will have to forego it. After the shop girls once take up fashion, it's fate is sealed with society people, for the hobby is cheapened very rapidly. This spring nearly every dry goods shop in the coun- try will put up the eign of the shirt front and the walks will be enlivened by shirt bosoms adapted to the fashionable asplr ations and needs of that portion of fem lnlty which labors in shops.
 A case calling for sympathy most pro- found is that of a loving daughter who was to-day taken from her fathers home, where her presence was always ray of sunshine, to an institution where. let us hope, the light of reason which mas cruelty deserted her, will be restored l The unfortunate lady was of an amiabIe devout and humble, and had many friends whose hearts are saddened oy the terrible affliction that has come to ono so dear.

Why is II that Jackson sells more pianos
and organs than all the rest OF the so called
dealers in the state? is question often
asked. This being absolutely true, a few
reasons urc hereby given. First, he sells,
ana always has sold, only those OF old cstab-
lishcd hrst-closs makers, manufactured
for this climate. Secondly, Jack
son attends 10 his own exclusive business.
lie does not desire The whole world and
reach out after eyotybody's else business.
His motto ia, "livo and let ve;" and pco.
pie recognize this fact and give him the
preference. Thirdly, ho buys direct from
first hands in carload lots, and pays spot
cash. thereby reeeiy every discount pos
sible and special carload rates Of frelehts.
which enables him to sell cheaper than any
other dealer IN the state. fouuhly, every.
one who has ever had any dealings with
him knows beyond any doubt That his guar
antces are good as gold, and II an instru-
ment does not prove IN every way as repre-
senied. he will put q new one IN its place
nud make erything satisfactory TO the
purchaser. Finally, jackson has devoted
his ontlre life 10 music and the manufacture
of musical instruments and knows how -
buy and what 10 buy that Is esp ciglly
adapted 10 this dry climate. There are
many more Just md suitable reasons for tho

BouNTIEs AND TARIFFS.

Represent tive Fithian, Of Illinois, is
one Of those statesmen who discern the
fact that protective tariff is but eu-
pbony for bounty, and he is fair.mind-

manufacturer aud the glass blower Of
the enst are entitled to a bounty upon
their wares, the government should not
withhold squal encouragement to the
tiller Of the soil A resolution intro
duced in tha house by Mr.. Fithian last
week suggetted that while the commit
tee on wayt and means was considering
the besiowal Of bounties upon ocean
carriers il should also give attention Ia
tho fact that there is another industry,
in which large amount OF capital Is in
vested. that is more unremuneratlve
than the business OF transportation by

unable TO find a ofitable market, and
that in several states a food product il
worth more for fuel than it will bring
at the mills and elevators, and that in
order 10 enable agriculturists to con
tinue the growing OF corn il is advisable
to offer bounty upon each bushel of
the cereal produced in the United

harmony with that theory Of the repub-

latter is shut out from the markets Of

law OF this country, which reco!ls as a
boomerang upon the masses Of the ma
