STARVED TO DEATH.
Tho wIfe of Max Rosenberg Who
 Left Waterbury Recently.

Tho wife of Max Rosenberg Who
 Left Waterbury Recently.
 Mrs Mary Rosenberg, aged %, died of starvation, in Newark, Tuesday night. Nine years ago she married Max Rosen- berg at Ritonia, Russia, and three years after marriage, with her husband, came to America. They lived a while at Bos- ton and Taunton, Mass, where her hus- band worked as a shoemaker. Owing to money troubles Rosenberg had to send his wife to Newark year ago, to live with her brother, and since he has been travelling around in search of em' ployment.
 Several weeks ago Rosenberg came to this city and worked for short time at his trade. While here he received a letter from his wife, asking him to help her, as she was starving. He sent her $2, but the money did not reach her. Mrs Rosenberg had no money, and was unable to get anything to do, and fur ther, was ill of consumption. Her brother, who was employed in Meyer Marcy's hat shop, and had a large family, was unable to. earn enough to support his own family and Mrs Rosen. berg and her children, Betty, and Louis :. Wednesday morning the woman was found dead and post mor- tenn showed that death was caused by starvation.
 Mir Rosenberg left this city for Bridge port about two weeks ago.

.AMUSEMENTS.
Bennett yE Moulton.

Speaking of the soloists of the Bennett 6 Moulton company, the Wilkesbarre Record says: "'rhe fine tenor voice of Joe Armand as the Beggar Student was never heard to better advantage. His tones are pure, especially in the higher register. MT Wolff as General Ollendorf is capital comedian, and supplements his acting with some good solo work, having rich baritone voice. Miss Vim cent, Miss Dressler and Miss Scott showed what they really can do in an opera. Each has a voice of good quail ity, very pleasant to listen to. Miss Vincent, the leading lady, seemed to recognize the fact that she had good opportunity to show her ability" At the opera house next week, opening with "Boccaccio'' Monday night.
 Casino Theatre.
 The trouble with the Merry Man darin,' which is now play ing in the casino, is that the play was written for just one character. The rest of the cast are simply trying to look natural and please by doing nothing. The ladies and gentlemen composing the troupe are we'll fitted to play better parts, but in this they are given no chance, bu, seem to be merely filling in the breath ing spells of the star.

Took Her Hand with Her Fortune

A young solicitor the other day got a verdict for client of considera blc riches but little beauty. Shortly afterward, in due course of business, he sent her a somewhat formidable account. On the following day his client called on him, and asked him if he had been serious in his proposal.
 "Proposa!? But I have not pro- posed,' replied the solicitor, somewhat aghast.
 "What!' replied his fair client, calm ly. You have asked for my fortune! I should have supposed that you would at least have had the politeness to take me along with it."
 The next day she received revised account as follows:
 Miss B., debtor to Mr. c. for legal business performed"
 Then in place of 'te s. d." was ''Tota! amount, Miss B."-London Figaro.

It was one of Emma Abbott's idiosyn- cracies to make a present of a diamond ring to every bride in her company. Every baby born in the troupe (and there were nine children when the com pany went on the road last falD re- ceived a check for $1OO, which was de posted in some bank, at interest, for the little one. Miss Abbott often spoke glowingly of the Abbott babies, and she always encouraged matrimony among the members of her company, in which, it is said, there was never a scandal

WATERBURY CLAIMS THE IIoNoI

W X NN ClI AINlD I II r. 1LONo1S Of Discovering Process By Which
 Aluminium Gan Be Welded.
 Since aluminium has been discovered and the many factories throughout the country have begun manufacturing diff ferent articles from that metal, experts have been trying to devise a means to solder two pieces of the metal together. All attempts up to the present time have failed. The honor of discovering the necessary process will belong to Waterbury, as two of her citizens have at last succeeded in accomplishing that which every one else has failt d in.
 Frank Page, employed at the West Brass mill, and Harry w. Anderson have been working for two years, try ing all methods to weld two pieces of aluminium together. At last by acci- dent they hit upon the correct method. When they saw that they had succeeded they could scarcely believe the evidence of their eyes, but a severe test of the welding process proved beyond a doubt that they had performed wonderful thing To make sure of their efforts strain of 100 pounds was employed to break the welding, but without success. Samples of the welded metal were then sent to the various factories throughout the country and immediately offers began to pour in asking the men to name any price for the secret. In the meantime through their attorney, w. H. Pierce, patent. protecting them for F years, with the right of extension, was applied for and the papers are ROW in the hands of At torney Pierce. He will visit Europe in the summer and get out patents through out the European countries.
 The difficulty in welding aluminium was that the solder ran off the metal like so much water and the secret of Messrs Page and Anderson lies in the combina- ton of the Aux. Heretofore the metal had to be riveted togethor and all manu- lecturers said fortune awaited the discoverer of a soldering process.

"You have been fighting, my son. said the alderman from the 'Steenth ward, severely.
 "Yes, sir," replied the boy. "The dirty little scoundrel on the other side of the street told me you'd sell your vote in the council any time for hundred dollars, and I chugged him one on the jaw :.
 'That was right, my son. said the alderman. 'One hundred dollars"-and he spoke with much emphasis and decision-''would be no temptation."- Chicago Tribune.

We are r"min'i'd hy one of cur cx- changes that the father of In<.iic:n, rec ommtndrd as a hralthful practice. that person on arising in the morning, should run in circle for half an huur clothed in the garb of Adam. In city houses it would have to be pretty small circle and in some of our flats. there would only be room enough to jump up and down, but the advice is good to give the skin every day an air bath while keeping up enough muscular ex- ercise and hand-rubbings to avoid catch ng cold. The skin is not so much of a breathing apparatus as the lungs, but a breath of fresh air once a day is good ;onic for it.

Saw, John, are you a iudge of pianosG

Say, John, are you judge of pianos?
 Well now, Peter? really that is laugh able; why do you ask!
 Well, you see, Susie, the pet of our house, is seven years old, and wife and have been thinging that as she is not very strong it would be the proper thing to give her a musical education. You know, John, when you and l were children attention was not so much in that direction and it was not considered so much of quail ica- tion as at present, so don't wonder ill the least at the look of surprise that crosses your face. But really, John, your wife asked me to bring up the subject to yt u as your Bessie is getting to be the right age for piano, as well; and she was of the opinion that if we should decide to 10th buy at once that Shoninger would giN . us discount. 1 understand they are cry | reasonable with honest people who q sire piano, and being honest thems, Ives l t lat firm would Sbe the best to patro ize. What do you think?
 Why, Peter, have been thinking fol some time on the sa lie subject, art 1 stepped into the store this morning and requested MT Pelham to give me Ii. ot names comprising recent purchasers. He very kindly and I must say a little pro ally acceded to my request by bringing ,rth list of names, that fairly astonished lr re. l -S' wynn, PSA AholASS'J " hS"I Cu' that is surely sumner. If these people who are judges have decided for the Shonlnger piano we ought to comm nee the year right by doing likewise.

There is man under arrest in Bridgeton on a
charge OF embezzlement in New York but he
cannot be extradited until the Governor OF New
Jersey signs the papers and the Governor IS too
busy Just now attending to his personal pleas
ures to pay any thought to the unfortunate. :
Camden Courier
Now don't You think it barely pos
sibIe that this unfortunate" may
prefer to stay in New Jersey where
he can't be tried rather than go to
New York where his guilt may be
proven. Besides, he can go to New
York whenever he pleases. Extra
dition proceedings are only necessary
when au accused person refuses to go
without them. But perhaps we are
laboring under a misrepresentation.
1t may be that the Courier is not so
much concerned for this ''unfortu-
nate as it is to get a fling at Governor
Albeit That is the secret of its pre-
