There is nothing in Mrs. Atherton's nov
els to indicate that she was even a casual
Catholic, but have the following on good
authority. I'm a Catholic myself, but
edJoyed the joke, says writer in the New
York World:
Shortly after Mrs. Atherton was married
her mother-in-law insisted that she should
be baptized into the Catholic church. Being
very young and very indifferent, she cons
sented. A month later her father-in law was
taken down with his last illness, and the
archbishop was summoned in haste from San
Francisco-the family we're at their country
place in Menlo Park-to hear his confess
sion and to administer communion. All
the family took advantage of this occasion
to go to confession, and for the future au-
thor of Hernia Suydam' there was no
escape. In vain she declared that she had
nothing to confess, having been baptized
the month before, and Ill In bed ever since.
She had to go, and the archbishop was very
kind and helped her out. He then inn
posed three Ave Marias and three Pater
Nosters as penance. and babe her be a good
girl.
In the hall, just beyond the door of the ex-
temporized chapel, she met her young sis
ter-in-law, who inquired eagerly what her
penance was. Mrs. Anterior replied
proudly, Three Ave Marias aud three
Pater Nosters. What is yoursp The other
reluctantly admitted that she had sinned TO
the extent OF six Ave Marias and six Pater
Nosters. Whereupon Mrs. Anterior danced
up and down with delight that her sister-in-
law was twice as bad as she
and the unfortunate sister-in- law
danced I'D and down with rage because
she was. After some very warm words
they slapped each others faces aud had to
be separated by the older and wiser mem
bers OF the family, while the good old arch
bishop smiled on the other side of the door.

Working Wives,

There has been good deal of un- necessary gossip about marriages be- tween young men of wealthy families in New York, says the Sun of that city, and young women who have made their own living. The tone of comment, as 8 rule, has been in the nature of sur prise that the young men should have chosen for wives women not ashamed to work. The probabilities are that the young men have the more fortunate end of the bargain. The self-support- ing women who give up personal inde- pendence to become the wife of hus- band who has no training in the ac- quirement of livelihood and whose bank account, or an allowance from the paternal bank account, is the only shield against poverty is in a fair way to have to face poverty some day or another without the shield. On the other hand, the young man who ac- quires a wife with some practical knowledge of what it means to work for living is pretty sure to have a prudent and thrifty partner.

were rejected for being double; tha' is, two ballots in one envelope. The dissenting judges say that to hold that the moderators should do other than follow the plain instructions of the law would do violence to the ordinary rules of statutory construction and make the law snare to catch modera- tors-the statute instructing them in explicit terms to do one thing and the court, by a construction of the unam- biguous directions requiring them to do other things in addition, upon the penalty of otherwise defeating the elec- tion. They therefore hold that the action of the superior court in both cases, which have been considered as one, in declining to count the ballots re- jected by the moderators as double, ex- cept the ballots in the town of Enfield, was correct and should be sustained.
 The question whether the gene. ral assembly has lost it's power to declare an election is passed over without dis cussion, this point remaining open.
 In brief, the decision only increases the complications and, as the DEMOCRAT has always held, justice will not be done until the voice of the people is heard in November.

SHOT WIFE AND CHILD
And Then Frederick Mellen-
 burg Killed Himself.
ENLARGED OVER A FAMILY LAWSUIT.

The Terrible Triple Tragedy at Pater- ened With Efectment from His Home
 By His Son, and He Resolved to XIII All.
 PATERSON, Sep. 28.-Frederick Mellen- burg murdered his wife and shot his daughter in this city yesterday afternoon, and then committed suicide. A week ago Antonio Mellenberg, g years old, sued his father, Frederick, who committed the murder, and his mother, Susanna, one of the victims. in the district court to re- cover some money which he had expended for repairs upon his parents house.
 He obtained judgment for $75 which the elder Mellenberg did not pay, but in stead he deeded the property over to his wife. Since that time there has been con tinual fighting between the parents and their daughter, Mrs. Lena Roselle.
 This morning Mrs. Mellenberg called at her daughters home at 91 Sherman ave- nue. and told Lena that her father wish ed to see her. Mrs. Roselle visited her parents house about o'clock yesterday afternoon in response to this message. She found her mother alone, and sat talking with her until her father made HIS dppeaflnCe,
 As soon as Ire entered the room he said to his daughter:
 "What will the court do with me nowF"
 He was referring to his failure to pay the judgment obtained against him by h is son.
 The daughter replied:
 "If you don't raise the money by mortgaging the house or some other way you'll be sold out"
 This enraged Mellenberg, who jumped up and ran out of the house. He returned in few minutes and exclaimed:
 "Well, we'll all start togetherv
 He then grabbed his daughter by the throat, and, pinning her against the door casing, beat her with girth strap. The mother interfered, whereupon the en- ragged old man turned upon her, knocking her down. Before she could rise Mullen berg pulled pistol from his pocket and, taking deliberate aim at his daughter, shot her.
 Then Mellenberg deliberately shot his wife through the head. He then shot himself in the left temple. Mrs. Mellenberg, who was partly un- dressed, staggered out upon the stoop and fell dead over her husbands corpse.

THE SCHOOL TICKET.

The ticket put in nomination last evening by the school convention is an excellent one. The gentlemen named for members of the board of education and district committee are well quail fled to care for the educational and financial interests of the district. With two exceptions they have had more or less experience with educational matters, and all are fitted to cope successfully with the questions that are constantly arising in the development of our public school system.
 The Rev J. A. Mulcahy, chairman of the board of education, has made a trict and it is safe to say that under his wise management the schools attained a higher degree of excellence than ever before. He has been ably assisted by Dr J. F. Hayes and Dr E. w. Mcdonald, each of whom has been connected with the school board for years. John L. Saxe, the nominee for fourth member of the board, is untried in the duties of the position, but can be relied upon to do his share of the work.
 Under the wise management of Chair man Alfred J. Wolff the peoples in terests have been carefully guarded in financial matters, and there is no doubt as to Captain Wolff's reelection by an increased majority. Michael Begnal, who has been honored with renomina. tion, has served on the board for many years with credit to himself and the district. Dennis H. Tierney, who was the choice of the convention for third place, is a conservative business man in whose hands the interests of the tax. payers of Waterbury will be safe.
 Thomas J. Moran, the candidate fol clerk, has held the office for the past year and has been most faithful in the discharge of his duties. His connection
 with the management of the district has given him an insight into schoo
 matters that will be of the utmost value
 to the district committee.
 l William c. Keenan and Martin F
 Parkinson, who complete the ticket, arc
 well known. The former has served the people of Waterbury long and wei
 and will poll the full party vote.

CLEVELAND ON THE TARIFF.

Perhaps the most interesting portion he bricks the free trade bubble that re- publican leaders and platform shouters have blown up. Nothing could be more direct than his declaration:
 "We believe that the advantages of freer raw material should be accorded to our manufacturers, and we contem- plate fair and careful distribution of necessary tariff burdens, rather than the precipitation of free trade. We antici- pate with calmness the misrepresenta- tion of our motives and purposes, insti- gated by selfishness which seeks to hold in unrelenting grasp it's unfair ad- vantage under present tariff laws. We will rely upon the intelligence of our fellow countrymen to reject the charge that party comprising a majority of our people is planning the destruction or injury of American interests; and we know they cannot be frightened by the spectre of impossible free trade"
 This is definition of the democratic position. The success of the democratic policy does not mean the inauguration in this generation and certainly the democratic party has no desire or in- tention to foist it upon the country.
 Presidents Cleveland's letter is an ad- mirable exposition of democratic policy on the economic and national issues of the day. The republicans cannot break the force of it's logic, and every voter who reads It in the light of fair and impartial interest in his country will realize that the democratic position is the correct one in this campaign. It is the same as has been held by republican leaders when their judgment and their utterances were not warped by the par tisan misdirection of republican cam paign. War taxes should not be inn posed in a time of peace.

THE PEOPLE MUST DECIDE

The decision of the supreme court in the quo warranto cases is disappointing. It does not say that Messrs Phelan and Sanger were not elected, but it imposes great task upon these gentlemen to prove the justice of their claims. It but will take time to figure out the result, there is no doubt as to that the final out come will be favorable to the democrats, suit, although it IS not probable that the democratic candidates will be seated during the present term.
 The decision in regard to the double ballots is most remarkable. The ma. jority of the court hold that the su- perior court should have counted the 5O9 ballots which the evidence show s

STAND BY THE PARTY.

The democratic candidates in every instance should be elected. This follows from the fact that the party is more than the candidate, and the success of the party must ever be the first duty of democrats, who believe the principles of their party to be right, and that the public affairs of the nation, state and municipality should be governed by them.
 There can be no solid reason advanced why a man should be a democrat in national matters and belong to another party in congressional or city matters. When such is the fact there is some. thing wrong. Vanity, jealousy or emolument turks in the cause of the change.
 The democrats of Waterbury stand l committed to their candidates; the candidates should now commit them selves to the democrats. They should be willing to stand or fall within the party. Coquetting with third parties for places on ''split" tickets should no even be connived at. United action or the part of the candidates, refusing to b, made tools in the encompassing of the defeat of any part of the ticket, should be taken. Thus will they become { bulwark of strength to the enemy, anc thus also will be wiped out that dis grace throughout the state that Water bury, with an overwhelming demo cratic majority, is practically ruled b! republicans.

A Movement in Shoes.

. The progress of the light-brown shoe movement this year is even more no- ticeable than it was last year. which may have been the first year, if it were not the second year, of that movement in this vicinity. It is estimated by the New York Sun that shoes of this kind are now worn by about a quarter of a million of the denizens of New York and Brooklyn. The great majority of the wearers of them are men, but many women also wear them. If the move ment in their favor continues to grow as rapidly as it has grown for the past two or three years, they will be the or dinary wear of New Workers before the bells ring out our dwindling century The movement is interesting. It has advanced quietly. There has been very little talk, and there have been no lee | lures, so far as we know, in favor o1
 the cause of shoe reform. Without say.
 ing a word about the subject, multi | tude have put off the black, put on the | ight-brown, and proceeded about their | other business. Few of them, so far as
 we have heard, argued the case outside
 of their own minds. They preferred the light-brown, for one reason or another
 to the black. The change has affected
 the leather trade, the shoemaker'I trade, the shoe-sellers' business, tho
 shoe-string business, the backing busi
 ness and the shoeblack's business
 Some men have made money by reason \ of it, while others have lost.
