 Just who was to blame for disappoint- ing the large audience who had as- sembled yesterday on the West End grounds to witness the game between the local team and the Cuban Giants, nc one seems to know. According to the schedule as published in the New York Sun the Ansonias should have played here yesterday and the game was adver- Used accordingly. The Ansonias not having put in an appearance at half past four, Wells tossed few balls over the plate and Umpire Messer gave the game to Waterbury by the score of 9 to o. This morning letter was received from Secretary Thomas stating that the schedule as published in the Sun was in correct and that instead of the Hartfords playing here Thursday, the game on that day will be with the Ansonias. The sooner the managers of the teams get together and find out who is who the better it will be for the game. Another disappointment like that of yesterday would play hobs with base ball in Waterbury,.

THE TROUT SEASON.
Fish So Protected That But Few Can
 Catch Them.

Fish So Protected That But Few Can
 Catch Them.
 Although of late the streams have been rather low for the best fishing, the present has been a very fair trout season. The lack of rain has rem dered the streams pretty low and the trout have resorted to the deep holes where only those fishermen familiar with the habits of trout could get at them. From these deep holes, however, some pretty big trout have heen taken.
 It seems to be the opinion of not a few fishermen that while the trout are protected better than formerly, they are protected so that a few fishermen can catch them. A man who seemed to be well acquainted with the condition of things, in speaking of trout fishing, said: The well to-do fishermen have posted the streams so thoroughly that it is hard for a poor man to fish. These well-to- do fisherman will either buy a portion of the farm on which the stream is located or lease the privilege of fishing. Further than this, they even go so far as to post a stream over which they have no more right than I have. A farmer the other day saw a great large sign erected in his brook, warning any one from fishing, and he was quite surprised in view of the fact that he had not given any one permission to post the tream. s'f
 Sometimes these signs are erected on a brook seldom visited by the owner, and remain an entire season, keeping outsiders from fishing. The man who posts the stream is thus able to keep away many fisherman, and enjoys the fishing himself.

s U G A R.. What Kelly Says Must Be So.
And A.

The worlds visible supply of sugar at the latest date is 1,6O6, ,04 tons, as against 1, ,494, 795 a year ago, showing an increase this year of Ill ,249 tons. This should prevent any great increase in the price of sugar for this year. Another cause that will prevent any material advance in sugar is the Mckinley bill, which by re- duction on Scotch and German sugars prevents any large increase of price by trusts and combinations among refners in this country. Another of Kelly's reasons for nominating Mckinley for president in 1899. However, Kelly predicts that sugar make it. He is loading up a large stock, and if housekeepers believe in his pre- dictions they will follow his example. Kelly sells more bread for quarter than any other baker in the world.

John Shannahan Makes Reply to City

 To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT
 City Engineer Cairns is reported as saying that all Brooklyn would be food ed before water could get into my cellar on the corner of Bank and South River. side streets. He also said at a meeting of the board of road commissioners that l had built on the city's property. would like to publicly inform the gen. tleman that my cellar was staked out by N. J. WeltOn. who for years held the position he (Mr Cairns) now fills. Mir Welton ought to know something about the property as l bought it from him and Mir Booth. As to my cellar never being flooded, would inform him that l received payment twice for damages from MT Welton, the city water pipe having burst and flooded my cellar badly.

THAT INJUNCTION.
Judge Cowell Refuses to Try the Case On
 It's Merifs

JuuSe CoWelI Refuses to Try the Case On
 Its Merits.
 - When the time came for the hearing on the dissolving of the injunction of E. w. Pinney vo Fred J. Brown and Maurice F. Carmody this morning Judge Coweli said that he had come to the con- clusion that he had no authority to try the merits of the case. It was expected by both parties that this would be the decision as it is we'll known fact that Attorneys Terry, Kellogg and Kellogg are not anxious to try the case now. Should the case be tried now, it would undoubtedly go to the June term of the superior court As it stands this will be impos- sible and se@sng as the attornies for Mir Pinney can cause delay so long does the injunction stand. When the case in dispute first came up. it was mutually agreed that the matter should be settled in the most expeditions manner possible. AS consequence it went to the su- preme court. Abiding with the decis- ion of that court everything was agreed to with the exception of the hiring and discharging Cf help. This caused the hitch and the legal proceedings which are now pending. Mir Pinney is taking an unfair advantage.
 The morning was taken up with argu- ments. Attorney Kellogg argued that the. trouble was caused by political heelers. Attorney Burpee gave him hot shot back by replying that his clients knew nothing of political heelers until Mir Pinney gave them good sam- pie of 1t by appointing James Sutton and H. I. Boughton to positions on the road.
 When Selectman Pinney was placed on the stand this afternoon he was asked if he was taxpayer. He an swered yes, but it was finally brought out that he only paid military tax.
 At press hour the lawyers were still arguing upon questions of law.

THE MOTHER-IOVE.
1t Is More Enduring Than Any 9th

1t Is More Enduring Than ANY Other
Tie.
There are no ties that bind as close as
those of mother-love, and none that
cost SO dear
An example of this was given a few
days ago in the case of a mother in
this city who lay on her deathbed. She
had given up life and the world. and
was sinking peacefully into that sleep
which knows no waking. when her lit
tie daughter who had been away on a
visit returned home, in answer to a tel
eGram.
The child was led into the room and
stood sobbing at the bedside of her
dying mother. She had been told that
she must control herself, and she tried
bravely to smother her great grief,
but when she saw the beloved face
so white and still on the pillow, her
whole soul was wrought into one great
cry:
''Oh. mamma. mamma, don't go,
mamma! Wait for me?''
Back to earth and its sorrows drifted
the soul that was almost anchored in
Heaven. The pale lips that had been
speechless for many hours parted in re-
ply, as the words escaped like ghosts of
sound:
Twill -wait-for-you, darling-I
will wait till-you-come.
And to give this last recognition. and
say those few words of comfort to her
child, the mother suffered the agony of
a second death.
But it is through these divine mys te-
ries of pain that God prepares us for
