do you know that cigar dealer
violates the law nearly every time you
buy one," said a legal friend to me the
other day. acknowledged that never
knew such to be the fact and he explain
ed: "You call for cigar, the dealer
takes a handful from a box, spreads
them out before you, and after you have
selected what you wanted he returns the
remainder to the box. That is a viola.
ton of the law. The dealer has no right
to return these cigars to the box, and he
could be punished for it." doubt it.

The habit people have of carrying or
holding money in the mouth is I'M
lcleanly and dangerous in the extreme
Did my lady ever consider that the in
nocent looking penny or nickel which
she catches conveniently in her mouth
as she adjusts her reticule, may have
passed through the filthiest of hands an
hour before. 1t has almost certainly
reposed in the recesses of pockets of per-
spring men. 1t may have left a sick
room, or perhaps has been exposed to
contagious diseases in a hundred wavs
before it reached the dainty lips of its
present thoughtless owner. Don't carry
money in your mouth, even if you have
to follow the Chinese style of placing
small coins in your ear.
With mad dog scares all around us,
Waterbury people are beginning to feel
little nervous, and few owners of
dogs have hunted up and applied the old
leather muzzle. This is eminently right
and proper. Every dog that is not re-
gistered should be shot, and every dog
that escapes the death penalty by being
registered, should be muzzled. There is
! too much danger to. children and adults
as well. by having our streets infested
| by vicious brutes.
What surprising number of red
noses one sees on a blustery day in

during the past week. On Bank street

that only the point of her nose and a
pair of very ripe lips were visible. But
| oh, what II nose! 1t seemed as if the
concentrated bushes of a lifetime had
settled in that pretty proboscis. And
the lady was painfully aware of the
fact, Tor she grasped the ruby member
with her mouchoir and wrung it with
sheer desperation until tears came to her
eyes. Opposite sat a man whose organ
of smell looked as though it had dipped
in not a few of the good things of life.
1t was vigorous, self-assertive nose,
with a personality of its own bat 1T
had frozen look, and it's owner rubbed
it as tenderly as one would caress a
| dear friend. The ruby nosed maiden on
the opposite side saw the act and broke
into smiles, which at once became con-
| taGiouS.

STILL TALKING CHARTER.

The General Committee Make q
Number OF Changes In the Original
Draft.
The charter revision committee held
another long session last evening. The
meeting was called to order by IL. l..
Wade. 1t was moved that that portion
of section 1, defining the boundaries of
the city, be stricken out, and that the
common council be recommended TO
order stone monuments on all streets
and highways intersecting the. town
| line. The motion was carried and the
section was adopted as amended.
| Section IL, referring to opening and
closing of polls, was taken from the
table and Mr. Brown moved to amend by
changing the hour of opening the polls
from o'clock a. m. to z. Mr. Kilduff
state and national elections was 6 a. M.
The section was amended by making
the hour o'clock.
Section 43, relating to highways,
caused much discussion of the following
clause: but the court of common
council shall not be authorized to lay
out any highway or street unless all
damages caused by such layout, and moi
less than three fourths of the estimated
Iexpense of bringing said street to the
grade adopted can be assessed upon
property benefited by sand layout and
If the board of compensation be unable
to find property SD benefited, it shall be
their duty to report such fact to the
common council aud thereupOn said lay
out shall be void and of no effect"
Mr. Kilduff moved to amend the sec
tion making it read two thirds of the
land damages and two-thirds of the eX-
pense of bringing the street to grace.
The amendment was carried.
| Another clause in the section read
"Whenever a new street shall be laiC
out in said city the court of common
council shall, within four months after
adopting such layout. fix and establish
the grade for such new street and OIL
failure so to do within the time afore
said, shall be vested with all the pc wers
and subject TO all the liabilities by law
provided for changing an established
grade, in so far as it effects any person
who may have erected buildings onlanC
fronting on such street" After mucl
discussion it was voted to table the
whole section.
Mr. O'Neil moved that section 90, re
lating to the duties of the city attorney
be discussed. Section 90 provides thai
years elect Il city attorney. Mr. O'Nei
wished to insert the words: Ion nomi
nation of the mayor"
A motion to proceed with section A
was carried and n motion from MI
O'Neil to table section 90 was lost.
Section A. relating to powers of com
mon council in laying out public
squares, parks. etc, was adopted.
Section 10. powers of common council
to make alterations in the channels OF
streams and water courses, etc, was also
adopted with some small insertions and
changes.
Section II, defining the duties of the
board of public works. was taken up and
discussed at some length but upon
motion of Mr. O'Neil an adjournment
was taken until Monday night.

MerIden Has Had Enough of Gilt
Edge Teams.

Meriden Has Had Enough of GILT
Edge Teams.
Says the Meriden journal: When the
young man who writes base ball for the
Waterbury Republican gets little older
he may know more about that subject.
He is the temporary secretary of the
Connecticut league, and is naturally
afraid that if Meriden and New Britain
join the Central league the other organ
izations will have hard work to get
started with six clubs. He tries to be
funny and alludes to the "Squashtown''
and "Podunk" mines and says in refer
ence to the Central league.
1T is no criterion simply because
Meriden or New Britain lost little
money in a state league that played four
games n week. some time ago, that they
would do it again this year. The only
time that Waterbury ever made any
money in base ball was when they were
in league of this kind. That year the
team won the championship of the state
and cleared $4,000"
That is the strongest argument that
could be made for the two games per
week plan that Meriden favored at the
New Haven meeting, for the year that
the Waterbury team "won the
championship of the state and cleared
$4,000" was in 1884. when only two
games a week were played, one at home
and one abroad. Try again, young man.

FAKE BULL FIGHTING
Leads Marseilles Mob to Give a Lively
Enough Show.

Leads Marseilles Mob to Give Lively
Enough show.
MARsEILLEs, Sept. "A serious riot
occurred in this city Sunday. A bull
fight was i'll progress at the circus here,
but the spectators became displeased
with the performance Of the toreadors,
claiming that they were not doing their
best, that they were cowardly aud
simply making a weak pr etense of fight
ing the bulls.
Finally matters became so warm that
the spectators, not content with hooting
and yelling at the bull fighters and the
bulls, arose from their seats and broke
into the arena and chased the toreadors
and tOros out of it, tore down the seats,
piled them in heaps and eventually set
fire to the debris, threatening destruc-
ton to the building. At this stage of
the proceedings strong force of police
came upon the scene, having been hasti-
ly summoned from all available posts.
The officers of the law, with drawn
swords, cleared the circus and put out
the fires, not, however, before the build
ing was partially destroyed. A number
of arrests were made by the police and
the local authorities, and the proprieters
of the circus announce their intention of
prosecuting the rioters t. the utmost ex
tent of the law.

stuRs.
New YORK, Sept. 22.--An exhaustive
study of the worlds food supply, in the
forthcoming number Of the American
Agriculturist, emphasizes facts of grave
importance to both America and Europe.
1t declares that half has not been told
about the European shortage in bread
stuffs, which not even bountiful crop
this year would have relieved.
Accepting the largest estimates of pro-
duction, both at home and abroad, and
even assuming that the United States
and Canada export 225, 900, 900 bushels
there is deficit in the worlds food sup
ply of at least 200, 100000 bushels Of
wheat and rye, with possibility of the
shortage being twice as great. Added
to this is the almost total failure of the
potato crop in Ireland and serious
curtailment in the yield of potatoes ON
the continent. Even with the utmost
economy of distribution and an unheard
of consumption of American maize
grave distress is before the masses Of
Europe.
Enormous exports of wheat and flour
from the United States in August proves
that Europe regards the situation rs
worse than it has yet been painted. 9th
erwise why should she buy in single
month close upon the harvest nearly
half as much wheat as she took from
the United States during the entire first
eight months of the year following one
of our largest wheat crops and period
of bedrock prices1 Indeed August
wheat exports were almost treble those
of the same month last year, and over
four times as much as the average ex-
ports at this season of last year. For
the first time in years wheat, bran and
middlings are being exported to Europe
thus early in the season,
These circumstances are accepted rs
the strongest possible reason for believ-
ing that prices of wheat are today un-
naturally low. 1t looks for sharp ad-
vance in all cereals as soon as the de-
mand realizes the limited extent of the
worlds actual supply. Every bushel of
high grade wheat is today worth fully 81
on the farm whereit grew. One of the
most marked features of the prosperity
that is already upon American agricul-
ture, noted by the same magazine, is the
extent to which farmers are planning
to unite in cooperative buying and sell
ing.
