 Says the Ansonia Sentinel: An item in recent Waterbury paper is so re- markable, so out of the ordinary way of doing business that it deserves embalm- ing. Two coal dealing firms consoli- dated and reduced the price of that item goes on to say, Parties who have put coal in for the winter from either firm can have the difference refunded at the office" The idea that after selling coal and getting paid for it, the seller voluntarily refunds part of the money because the price has gone down, is un. heard of. It cannot be laid to inexper- fence because both firms are long in the business. It must be in the air of Wa terbury.

The men all had expressed a wish to be sent into camp for eight days, but when the legislature allowed them the privilege of going with pay per diem they voted against it.
 Why, what lovely place to sit for an hour or two! And what an excellent entertainment Such was the excIama- tion heard from the lips of one of Wa terbury's arlstocracy last evening at the casino.

The talent is of the highest standard and with such attractions as Max Arnold, Estella Sylvia, the only Herbert Crowley and little Alex Denne, it serves to make pleasing entertainment. The Danbury and Waterbury drug clerks played bail here yesterday, and the stars of the stage were on to them and the way they guyed them was pleasing to the audi ence.
