EGAN MAY BE RECALLED.
Ex-senator Blair Talked of as Minister
to Chill.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Ex-Senator
Blair's intimation that some big appoint
ments were soon to be made seeAls about
to be verified, and rumor puts the Min
ister's name in the list. It is said that
Mr.. Blair is to succeed Patrick Egan as
Minister to Chill.
In the face of this announcement AS
sistant Secretary of State Wharton says
it can be stated on his authority that
Minister Egan has not been recalled nor
has Mr.. Blair been appointed yet. All
of which agrees with the current gossip,
for it is understood that Mr.. Egan will
get his off cial recall simultaneously with
the announcement of Mr.. Blair's ap-
pointment.
There is a general and widespread
opinion here, not only in outside but in
official circles, that Mr. Egan has been
acting as a newspaper correspondent dur
ing the exciting times in Chilli, and was
so enthusiastic worker for the paper ht
represented as to forget his duties as
representative of the United States Gov
eminent.

Gar.

Gar.
LONDON, Sep. 25.-A St. Petersburgh
despatch announces the death of the
Grand Duchess Paul. She was the wife
of the Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovitch,
youngest brother of the Gar, and was
the eldest daughter of the King of
Greece.
On Thursday last the Grand Duchess
gave birth to a son under such circum-
stances as to excite the most serious ap-
prehensions for her recovery. From the
moment of accouchment up to the hour
of death the condition Of the Grand
Duchess became steadily worse, until on
Sunday last 1t was quite evident that
recovery was impossible.
Violent spasms attacked the imperial
patient and the court physicians finally
advised that the parants OF the Grand
Duchess be sent for.
In response to kilograms urging haste,
the King and Queen of Greece at once
left Athens for the city where they safely
arrived.
The Grand Duchess was born in Corfu
in 1870, and was married to the Grand
Duke Paul Alexandrovitch of Russia
in 1889.

The following conversation was over
heard between two ladies at the Manga
tuck depot
Ny dear Miss Wilmot, I am very glad
to meet you. When did you leave An
sonia
Why, Mrs. Norman, am delighted to
see you. A sight of your kind face and
the thought that l shall have your COM
pany home is n real rest to me, for ! am
completely worn ont with shopping. Iou
know Julia is to be married next month,
and l came up to Waterbury this morning
to buy the furniture for her new home. 1
went to every other store in the city, and
finally to the Waterbu y Furniture Co.
and am 80 provoke | at myself that did
not 90 there at first, instead of wasting my
time and strength in going around to all
the other stores, for l found there just
what l wanted, and at such prices! Why,
every thing they have are regular bar
gains, every one of them. | did not much
believe / should like them, for they adj
vertise in such queer way, and when
went in to their South Main street store
the salesman who came to wait on me was
rather stout man and so awfully
homely. But | liked to trade with him
real well, he was so polite and accommo-
dating, and seemed to know just what
wanted. l bought an elegant antique oak
chamber suit in 10 pieces for 5000, and
just think of it! beautiful silk plush
parlor suit of 6 pieces for only $50 90, and
such love of II center table for only So 80.
! shall buy vi my furniture of them in
the future, and send all my friends to
them besides. And such beautiful
Quaker range it is nice enough to put In
the purlor, and
just here the train came putting along
and we lost the rest of the story.
But it shows what one customer thinks
of the Waterbury Furniture Co., and why
it is we are constantly increasing our trade
and growing in favor with the people.
