Waterbury Has Never Been Appealed
 to In Vain.
 The famine in Ireland, due to the failure of the potato crop, and to the general depression existing Tn the un- fortunate island, has aroused the sym pathy of Americans generally, and in several cities organized efforts for the relief of the sufferers are under way. In Hartford, Mayor Dwight has called a citizens meeting to raise funds for the worthy object. Here in Waterbury, nothing has yet been done. The DEMOCRAT proposes to take the ini- tiative step by opening famine contribute their mite in aid of sorely distressed people. Every little helps, and we believe that our appeal will meet with a ready response. Contributions will be acknowledged through these columns from day to day and it is guaranteed that the money subscribed will be placed where it will do the most good. The list:
 Waterbury Evening DEMOCRAT, 5000 Frank J. Rametti, io'00 00 John Moriarty. lV'VU Robert K Sheehan. Stone street, 100 Maurice Whalen, Baldwin street, l.0O
 A correspondent of the New York Sun, writing from kenmare, County Kerry, Ireland, says
 have just finished a careful tour of inspection, travelling from Dunfanaghy in the north, all through Donegal, across Ieitrim into Sligo, thence through the boggy mountainous regions of Mayo and away on through the poverty stricken districts of western Galway to Clare, and over the shannon past Linn erick to Kerry, till found rest at length in little inn in the town of Kenmare. Poverty is everywhere, poverty Of the darkest and most expressing character : poverty such us is never known and such as cannot be conceived by even the most wretched and unfortunate in America. The people have absolutely no food other than Indian meal, and even this they will not have when Christmas comes, because the small shopkeepers, like themselves are in a state of beggary.
 After reading of such distress, who can doubt that the worst is to be feared, and who can turn n deaf ear to the ap- peal and close his pocketbook against the cry of n starving people.
 Every reader of the DEMOCRAT should add little to the fund that we have opened. Contributions can be brought to the office or sent by mail. An excel lent plan would be for factory employees to appoint committees to collect sub. scriptions to be turned into n general fund.
 Mayor Dwight of Hartford has called public meeting to devise methods fol raising funds to help the sufferers. His example is a good one for Mayor Bald win to emulate.

,oSNrERFEIrs IN CIRCULATION

Two Dollar Silver Certificates That
 Only an Expert Can Detect
 The secret service bureau of the United States treasury again warns the public against a dangerous counterfeit of the $2 silver certificate. It is said that no closer imitation of a genuine note has appeared for many years. While no attempt has been made to initiate the threads or fibers running lengthwise through the genuine note, the color is good and the mechanical work excellent. The portrait of General Hancock is we'll engraved and the whole appearance of the note is such as easily to deceive expert handlers of money. The note has the round carmine seal, but bears the wrong check letter, which is ''C" when it ought to be "A" Minor differences are the absence of a dot over the "i'' in "register" and of a period after the word treasury" The coun- terfeit is so dangerous, however, that the secret service officers recommend the utmost caution in accepting $2 silver certificates with the check letter "C."

Little Mary Pennock of Hartford
 Drowned in a Water Closet.
 About 8 o'clock yesterday evening Mary Pennock, the six and a half year old daughter of James Pennock, who lives at 93 Shelton street, Hartford, was drowned in a water closet. The father, who is "a widower, had gone out to make some purchases some time before, and on his return asked for the chIld. No one knew where she was and a search was at once begun. Some one remembered having seen her go into the water closet belonging to the house, and the place was examined. The water closets are in a double row, standing in the yard of the block, with V shaped excavation about 9 feet deep below. This tunnel is kept full of water to a height of about six feet. This can be drawn off through gate into the sewer in the street. The entire seat in each of the closets lifts up and is usually raised up. The water was drawn off and the body was found in the bottom of the trough. It was taken out and it was found that life was extinct. It is proba- ble that Mary, entering the closet in the dark, fell through the seat and was drowned.

OF INTEREST TO FoREsTRRs.

The Unpleasant Task That Confronts
 the High Court of the Order.
 Waterbury Foresters will be interested to read the following, which we have clipped from an English paper "The high court of the Ancient Order of Foresters, the largest and most impor- tant friendly society in the world, has a somewhat unpleasant task before it. The recent valuation shows deficiency of no less a sum than g ,270, 25.. against which there is a set-off of only f137, ,769. The deficiency of nearly three millions sterling which now exists in the funds of this vast society has grown up gradu- ally, as the result of the imperfect knowledge possessed by the pioneers of the friendly society movement. The equal contribution system-a fair one enough upon paper, but very imperfect in its working, is adduced as one of the main causes of the unfortunate tinan- cial position in which the order finds itself. The "equal contribution sys- tenn" is, in effect, one of the most unequal that could be im- agined. The order ought long ago to have adopted the sensible system of a graduated scale of payments, similar to | what exists in connection with every leading life insurance company in these days, and under which each member, at whatever age he joined, would pay in proportion to an actuarial valuation ot the benefits he was to receive. Friendly societies can no more flourish by the method of taking more out of their funds than they put in than tradesmen can flourish when they systematically live on their capital. A very complete system of reform is called for. But the court is now fully acquainted with the causes of the mischief, and has no ex- cuse from shrinking from those drastic remedial measures which should be taken in hand at once and carried through uniiinchingly."
 The above together with the color question, were the points at issue when the American courts sent their delegates to England over two years ago. They were not amicably settled, and the re- suit was the high court of England lost over 60,000 members. This foolishness is yet on the tapis. The societies on this side did not deem it feasible to be ruled in this manner by the English high court, and so have formed the now fiourishing order of American Foresters.

All Other Fruit Crops Are short
 and Prices Are High.
 Although the peach crop in the east and south has been the poorest in many years, the market is still supplied with choice fruit, but the high prices render the demand very small. There were no Delaware and Maryland peaches in mar ket and only a few Jerseys. The present supply is from California, where there was an excellent crop. The fruit is large and fine and is received in crates of from 60 to 65 in a crate. The fruit Iwholesales at $2.2s per crate, and the retail price of these peaches is cents each. This fruit will be in market only D short time. There is hardly any fruit raised in the east that has not yielded a
 short supply the past season. There is ne exception, however. In grapes here is about the usual supply, the uality is good and prices the same as sual New Jamaica oranges are in
 e market. The fruit is rather - 2all as yet, but as the season advances thu quality will improve.

already beginning to be felt in this city. Manufacturers are the worst sufferers at present. Some of the commodities used by them have been going up gradually for the past few weeks in anticipation of the bill, until now they are at a very high figure. The heaviest increase, perhaps,is is on tin, hundreds of pounds of which are used here every year. Some kinds of steel also are affected. Copper is not disturbed. The manufacturers feel the change the most since they can scarcely hope to raise their prices, for some time at least, and remain in the market
