 That Sunday Train.

That Sunday Train"
 We have received an invitation from the Y. M. c. l.. A. to be present Eext Friday evening at their rooms to debate this question. We shall be present IT possible as we are anxious to hear the other side. And at the same time we wish to encourage the association for their good judgment in taking up questions which are calculated to advance the in terests of Waterbury. And we hope that all kindred institutions will use tbeir tai ents in an educational way to make our own home, our own city perfect, and then we will commence on the outside. Waterbury wants some place f"r an ont, ing and by clamoring for 1t we will get it. This agitation will be far reaching in it's consequences, and will result in great good to the wnole of our people ''Necessity is the Mother of InventiOn," and if we c)nhne our efforts to Water bury we will find way. Mother nature has not overloo ooked us here; and we be- lieve that we have several beauty spots which are capable of development If we look around. 'Seek and you shall find. Waterbury has a magnificent record, and the same spirit of enterprise, energy and thrift that has made our city famous Tn the markets of the world, surely will find a way to satisfy the aspirations of our peo- pie to the extent of public place fer recreation But the truth is we have never tried very hard yet. Labor well directed almost invariably brings it's own reward. But we must keep hammerin9 and digging for it Someone who has genius for this sort of work will arise amongst us and point out the way. BUT DON'T GO AWAY FROM HOME. Let us all stay here and work together. Wa terbury has great name in the outside world. None of it's citizens need be ashamed of it. When travelling through the states we always write "WATER- BURY" in biz letters on the hotel registers. We don't know of many who want train to run to Bridgeport Sundays, except some fellows whose best girls are living there. Let them bring these girls here We can furnish them cheaper as we have our own plant and buy in carload lots. But, seriously gentlemen, you have great work before you and this may lead to the discussion of the great social prob lem which the leading minds of the world ars to work upon. Almost every one has now come to the conclusion that orce is no remedy, that education and honest endeavor is the cure all. The other day we got knocking away for an hospital. Duty pointed out the way and $95, ,000 came to start the ball rolling. We have big heads and big hearts in Water bury who are watching your progress at tnlS moment. lneTo never WhS u IlIno HI the history of the world when men wanted to do as much for their fellow men as they do at the present time. You heard what Andrew Carnegie said the other day He said he was worth thirty to thirty four millions of money, "Every dollar of which he would spend before he died" We are ouly in the beginning here Wait and see our Bronson library building. That will encourage oth. rs when they see it up. We were talking to man a short time ago who is well known in these parts, and is distinguished for his great philanthropy He told us in a quiet way that the most thing that bothered his class was in choosing the proper channel in which to place their money. To the inexperienced this would seem absurd. But have you not often given fellow a quarter and afterwards found that you were fooled Sup posing you had a million to give would it not require some study You see, gentlemen, as people grow more enlightened they look upon death as a mere incident-a winding up of their personal affairs, and in the light beyond they see their friends and they want something good to tell of themselves. But woe be to the man who will be instru- mental in starting up the vast machinery of railroads, compelling men to work on the Sabbath, taking them from theiI families etc, etc. Probably we may finish this next Friday night.
