 ST. LOUIS, Feb. 19.-Sarah Bernhardt has reached here in her private car. Her manager had telegraphed ahead for a suite of seven rooms at the Southern Hotel, but the managers at that hostelry were unable to comply with the request, and the divine Sarah had to be content with three rooms, but the hotel people said that they could not permit her to bring her pet animals with her, so Sarah said that rather than be separated from main in her car.
 After 8 two hours stay at the depot she reconsidered her determination, and, en- tering a cab, drOve to the Lindell.
 Here she was told that her require ments could not be granted and after rather stormy scene Mile. Bernhardt drove to the Southern.

 She again folded her wraps about her and giving the hotel clerk in particular and St. Louis in general, such a scorch- ing as only Sarah can give, once more entered the cab, and at 8 late hour in the afternoon, was wandering about the streets in a pouring rain, seeking quart CTS for herself and dog.

HINTS TO ADVERTISERS.

The DEMOCRAT is read by the buying classes and is the best advertising me- dium in Waterbury.
 It is family newspaper and has re- fused to take objectionable advertising at good prices. Advertising, of what ever nature, will be accepted by every other paper in the city, at less rates than are charged local merchants.
 The first essential in writing an adver- tisement is to have something to say. Form of expression is only an accessory. People don't consult an advertisement because of it's graceful diction.I IThey are after ideas.
 When written, the most important thing about an advertisement is that it be put where it can be read by those most interested.
 The next important thing is that it shall offer a distinct and attractive in- ducement.
 Then-keep at it. Persistent and long continued advertising is what counts.

Has This Newspaper a
 GrUdge Against Us?

We have always spoken favorably of the freedom of the press, but the time has come when we must deno it in un- measured terms. Dozens of people dui- ing the past week have been laughing at us. But some people are cruel enough to laugh where others have reason to weep. Our attention was called to something that appeared in our space, and as yet the editor has written no editorial in the way of apology. We wished to tell the public that a night clerk was always in atten- dance, but the newspaper man put it in this way: "A NIGHT CRANK IS ALWAYS IN ATTENDANCE" And we believe that the printer put it in design edly. This cruel error has been going on for a week without our knowledge. Now as a matter of fact our night clerk is any thing but a crank He is truly the ser
 uant of the people-ever wa'chful of their interest. A cat cannot step on the door step at 39 Grand steeet, but he hears him. Press the button and his benevolent face greets you. He knows you arc in trouble and he is at once your friend. Our clerk knows that he who does his duty well in any useful oc upation is as great as he who presi les over the destinies of nation. Unless we hear from the editor this wet k we shall expose him.
