CURE FOR HoARSENESS.

Tho Treatment Prescribed for Q Self
"lued Singer by tho Grcct Frederick.
There is story told of the manner
In which Frederick tho Great dealt with
pr1ma donna of the period who was in
cllned to disappoint the public with lit
tie reason. The great artist seemed to
catch cold, which had the effect of rem
derlng her hoarse, and consequently I'M
able to sing when anybody or any thing
displeased her, One day q certain opera
was to be performed at Berlin before tho
King himself. At the appointed hour
the manager came forward and said:
Ladies' and gentlemen, we gricve to
inform you that our prima donna has q
soro throat, and that tho representation
announced can not, therefore, tako
place." The stolid Teutonic audience
seemed no whit surprised and was NOV
ing out TRANQUILITY when tho King rose
and commanded the musicians to keep
their. places. The audience sat down
again and waited patiently on events.
In loss than q quarter of an hour tho
manager reappeared and spoke as fol-
lows: Ladies and gentlemen, I havo
tho most unfeigned pleasure in inform
Ing you that our prima donna is COM
pletoly cured of her sore throat ard will
have the honor TO sing before you to-
night" Surely enough the famous
singer, soon appeared, and never had she
sung better. Her triumph was COM
plete. Tho Kings prescription had
been very simple one. The prima
donna, having dismissed tho unhappy
manager, was sitting comfortably before
the fire in her own room, actually
pleased with having spoiled the pleas
ure of several hundreds of persons,
when the door was violently thrown
open and there entered an officer, fol-
lowed by four dragons. 'Madomoi-
sclle,' 'quoJh the officer, "the King, my
master, has sent mo to ask after your
health" Tho King is very good. L
have bad sore throat" His Majesty
knows it, and has charged mo to take
you at once to the military hospital,
whore you will be cured in a few DAYS"
Mademoisclle turned pale. "You arc
Jesting," she sirnpcred; but Prussian
officers, she was informed, never jasGed
Tho Lieutenant gave tho orders to tho
men, who seized mademoiselle and car
ried her out.
A coach was in attendance, tho lady
was deposited therein, tho officer took
his place beside her and OFF they went,
the drogoons riding alongside. In
few seconds, "Stay," said the lady, ~
think feel bettor." ''Tho King is
anxious, madonoisello, that you should
feel quito restored, and evon that you
should sing tonight" Il will try"
murmured the prisoner. Back to tho
theator!" cried the officer to the coach
man. Arrived there, mademoiselle be-
gan to think sho had yielded too
easily. Il will sing, since his Majesty
commands me-" she said, but heaven
knows how" "You will siEg," returned
tho officer, '1ike the groat artist you
are" 'I shall sing like an artist with
bad cold" II think not" "And
why?" Because o couple of dragons
will bo in attendance, and at the least
co~ac they have orders to carry you off
again to tho military hospital" Tho
hoarseness was now completely gone,

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.


DeSpondent James Hall of Monterey
Found Dead in the Woods.
James Hall of Monterey, Mass, just
over the Connecticut line, went hunting
Friday afternoon, and not returning,
search was instituted for him Friday
night. His dead body was found in the
woods, and q hole had been blown in
his abdomen by the discharge of his gun
He was "a years old, and had been in
poor health for some months. His
funeral took place Sunday afternoon in
Winsted.
Franz krotechlvil, a Bohemian, aged
%, committed suicide yesterday, at New
Haven, by strangling himself. He tied
a rope around his neck and then around
door knob and sat down until strangu-
lation ensued. He was single and has a
brother in New York. He kept butcher
shop in the city and was doing a good
business. Last Friday he was taken
sick with malarial fever and cold. The
sickness undoubtedly made the man in
sane.
Max kreuger of Glen Cove Id, mas
not been seen since last Monday, when
he left his home in light rowboat to go
fishing. Neither the mans body nor the
boat has been found, though Kreuger is
believed to have been drowned. The
missing man was 81 years old, five feet
nine inches tall and rather stout. 1t is
expected that if he was drowned the
body will be found somewhere along
the Connecticut shore west of New
Haven.
About nine o'clock last evening a man,
apparently a commercial traveller, jump
ed from a west bound train before it
stopped at the Bridgeport station and
fell so that his legs were run over. He
was removed to the hospital it that city.
Letters found on his person indicate that
he was S. j. O'Keefe, a commercial
traveller whose home is IN South Boston.
Fatal results are feared.
Saturday afternoon the five year-old
son of Joseph Crevoiserat fell from an
apple tree on the Harvey place, Preston,
striking his head ON a stone wall and
fracturing his skull. The operation OF
trepanning was performed and twelve
pieces of the skull was removed from q
space 14x3 inches in size. Some of the
brain escaped from the fracture. The
little fellow rallied from the operation
and on Sunday recovered consciousness,
but his injuries are of such nature that
little hope is entertained of the child's
1 recovery.

The Irish Arrests

Editor of DEMOCRAT
The arrest of MeSsrs Dillon and
O'Brien and other less prominent Irish
leaders comes as complete surprise to
students Of Irish contemporary history,
when it is remembered that Ireland
hardly ever was so peaceable and less
free from crime. The greatest support
ers of Balfour's Irish policy cannot claim
this move on hIs part likely TO prove
very beneficial to the party of Law and
order" as the eyes of the civilized world
being now turned on Ireland and her
impending famine it will be generally
conceded that it is q poor way to cope
with the situation to throw men into
prison who were coming to America to
collect some money for the starving
peasants on the west coast.
From the first warning notes of the
famine were sounded from the blight
stricken districts until the propagation of
parliament the Irish members kept I'M
ceasingly pressing upon the government
the necessity of doing something in
the way of providing relief in the poorer
districts and employment in districts
where the construction of light railways
and other public works was practicable
but very little encouragement came from
the treasury benches that such would be
done. Such callousness on the part of
TIE kONGEhUutt1l was aLA NhlC AhOAS
hensible when it is considered that the
grand juries (which are non-elective
bodies) in counties where the construc'
ton of light railways was brought be-
| fore them for consideration, threw all
| the obstacles possible in the way of
| those works being carried out, lest, per.
chance, some of them might run
through their lands, or that they might
at any time be asked to pay some paltry
sum in the shape of a guarantee for the
| financial success of such roads, facts
which could not escape the notice of the
| responsible head of the government. Ii
Secretary Balfour does not take some
steps to prevent the recurrence of the
terrible scenes of the famine years of At
and Al, public opinion will hold him
morally responsible for every life lost by
starvation, and the electors of Great
Britain ar the next general election viii
hurl from power himself and his tory
confreres and indelibly brand them al
brutes, unfit to hold the reins of power
in a civilized country.
Such general elections will probably
take place next fall con and the Irisf
party purpose raising a fund to carry
on campaign against the tories anC
secure the return to power of Gladstone
and u sufficiently large majority t.
enable the aged and brilliant Statesman
to re-introduce and carry through par
lament a measure of home rule TO
Ireland. May the day of such happ.
and long looked for contamination o
the Irish struggle be soon at hand a
with it we may confidently expect tn
return of peace, happiness and com
mercial prosperity to that hitherto mis-
governed and discontinued country.
Other prominent members of the 1risl
party will of course come over t.
take the places of Dillon and O'Brien il
laying before the American public tn
true state OF affairs at home and it is tn
duty of every lover of freedom to assis
in making their mission a success.

''Spider and Fly.''
1.-THE Spider and the Fly" is a new
melodramatic extravaganza by w. Gill
and r. Fraser that has met with not
little success out of town. The old
story has been transformed into one of
human interest. The effects are good,
the costumes rich and the whole presen-
tation notable for good taste.-New
York Journal. At the opera house Fri
day evening.
At the Casino.
A larger crowd could not well get
there last evening. 1t was packed to the
doors and a great show repaid them for
going. OF course the great attraction
was Chip, who simply convulsed every
one with his droll sayings and wonder
full dancing. Although scarcely knee
high he performs his part with the ease
and finish of a grown artist Encore after
encore was respol ded to by him until
finally he said: Ladies' and gentlemen
good night, l am here all this week"
Leslie and Hardman the originators of
most all the parodies on popular songs
delighted the audience with their origl-
nalities. George and Minnie Kaine
were funny in their original German
sketches. George Kaine's smoking song
brought down the house. Their
daughter, little Lille, did very well in
her songs and dance. Pat McGlone and
Miss Lucille convulsed the audience
with their laughable Irish sketches. The
afterpiece Sentitled mullen the Tailor,
was funny IN the extreme. There is no
doubt but this cosy little place will be
packed all the week.

The ssDemocratn Receives OmcIal
Figures From Washington.
The figures of population of Connecti-
cut cities and towns made public by the
census bureau last week gave Water
bury a population of 2S,591. As this
was nearly 5000 less than Supervisor
Mccarthy had allowed US a loud wall
went up until it was explained that the
figures represented the population OF the
city and not the town. The DEMOCRAT
ut the first sound of alarm telegraphed
to Washington for facts. The following
reply was received this morning:
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept 90, 1890.
The DEMOCRAT, Waterbury, Conn:
The population of the town of Water
bury Is 80, 144 against 20,270 in 1880, a
gain of sixty-three and a half per cent.
A. +. CHII.Ds, Acting Supt of Census.
That sounds better, and we are salts

forty less than those made public by
