A Few Points for Prof Crosby
and the Rev. ]. Il, O'DOnnell.


Side of Life.
Il Is generally considered that the world
is progressing, and by progress We mean
going ahead. The words "going ahead"
may mean the very opposite of what you
wish. Some progressive people are COM
hitting suicide and at the time of life too
when things ought to come easy. 1t is
certain that whatever ability one has, sue
cess in the world means that it will be tax
ed to its fullest capacity. When a boy
finds out that only about three of every
one hundred of his classmates can be sue
cessful, it makes him feel that he has to "get
up and get" if he wants to 'get there"
We get out in the world and find it a
great big school where the friction of
Thought makes the sparks of truth fly;
and competition makes it difficult to re-
main in the swim.
Superintendents of schools see that
practical questions are becoming more nee
essary every year. Less Latin and Greek
and more education that will teach us how
to produce bread and butter. Prof Cros-
by, representing the public school and Rev
]. II. O'DonneIl of the parochial school
could not do their scholars q greater SER
vice than to bring them down to the ware
rooms of the Waterbury Furniture COM
pany, and see the improvements that are
being made by the carpenters and masons.
Here can be seen great and prosperous
business built up in : years by rules that
are not found in the text books. This
phenomenal gro with means that the people
have found a firm that has made a close
study of human character. The people
know what they want and it is our bust
ness to supply that want. Our policy
has always been q liberal one, and the
world is full of glorious results from a
generous policy. While these improve
ments are going on we are reducing our
immense stock at rapid rate and the peo-
pie from Winsted to Ansonia are taking
advantage of it. Goods delivered free of
charge.

A gentleman residing on the West Side
tells a good story on his wife,, which is
worth repeating
She had advertised for aigirl for general
housework, and early the next morning a
well dressed, neat looking white girl called
and applied for the place.
Are you good cook?p inquired the
lady Of the house.
"Yes, mann"
"Are you a good ironeri My husband is
very particular abouthis oolaarsana cuffs.
Yes. mann"
"Do you like children2"
"Well-yes, mann; but have never been
a child's nurse"
Several other questions were asked and
answered satisfactorily, and the lady, find
ing the girls references good, was just
congratulating herself upon her good luck
when the girl commenced to ask questions.
"Will | have to,take care OF the chill
dren2n she inquired
only when we go.out for an evening" !"
replied the lady.
What time doiyon have your meals;"
"We generally breakfast az s, have lunch
at II m, and dinner when my husband
gets home from the Office, sometimes at
half past 6 and sometimes at Z"
''Can have every, other evening out and
every Sunday afternoon and evening after
dinner?"
The lady turned pale, but replied prompt
", "phat is more than have ever allowed
my girls, but | guess we can manage that
all right
"What wages do you payi" asked tbs
girl
1.-TWO seventy-fve,' replied the lady.
"Do you have washwomanw
'No; my girl must do the washing"
We'll" after a short pause, II guess you
won't suit me- And before the aston
ished lady could recover from the shock

The Tennessee Miners Are
Anxious for Peace.
THEY ARE OPPOSED TO BLooDsHED.

All the militia In the state Is Ready to
sfove to Coal Creek to End the Disorder.
The Miners Are Cool Headed and De-
terminsd.
KNoxvILLR, Tenn, July e2.-Thrilling
scenes were enacted in this city during
the day, and the excitement caused by the
return Of troops and convicts from Brice-
vile is unabated. The presence of the
largest body of soldiers seen here since the
war, and the fact that they may momen-
tarily be called upon to go to battle with
four times their number Of determined
men, each an adept In the use of firearms,
caused the streets to be crowded since day
break Every military company in Ten
nessee is in this city awaiting orders
from the governor to 80 to the SCAT of
trouble at Briceville. There are nineteen
companies in all, and they @ntaln nearly
600 men. Careful estimates place the
number Of miners at Coal Creek and
Briceville at 1900, but the first signs Of
hostilities would doubtless call out nearly
a thousand more
The Miners Are Desperate.
General surprise is manifested here that
the governor did not accompany the troops
from Nashville. The feeling is that while
his presence might not avert a conflict, bis
absence prevents further conference with
the miners, so that the presence Of troops
will mean the surrender OF the miners or a
conflict. An ominous feature Of the situa-
tion is the quietude and lack Of boasting
on the part OF the miners. There is quiet
determination In their attitude which in
dicates a dangerous desperation. The pur-
pose Of the troops, Is, OF course to return
the conyicts and protect them in their
work at the mines, as well as TO arrest the
leaders Of the movement forcing the troops
and convicts to leave fiis, the miners
say. shall not be done Sheriff Ruther-
ford, of Anderson county, who called on
the governor for troops in the first in
stance, is reported TO have fed the country.
Under Martial Law.
Coal Creek station is FIVE miles from the
scene OF the trouble, and miners are spread
out all along the entire distance That
section viii probably be placed under mar
tial law by General Carnes as soon as he
reaches there This is regarded as the most
effective way Of preventing the miners
from cantralizing for an attack. II Is be-
lieved that General Carnes will take the
released eonvicts now under guard In this
city back with him.
The Committee at Knoxville.
The committee of miners came to town
last night TO confer with the governor and
affect a settlement before the troops start
cd into Anderson county. The governor
not being here they called on General
Carnes, but that gentleman declined to be
interviewed The troops will doubtless be
put in motion at once
