vertisement OF tho waterbury Fur
nltue Co ON the Question of
That Sunday Train.
We have received an invitation from
the Y. NJ. Q. L. A. to be present next
Friday evening at their rooms to debate
this question. We shall be present If
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 their 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 for an out
ing and by clamoring for it we will
get it. This agitation will be far reaching
in its consequences, and will result in great
good to the whole of our people.
Necessity is the Mother of Invention"
and If we confne our efforts to Water
bury we will find way. Mother nature
has not overlooked 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 in
the markets of the world, surely will find
a way to satisfy the aspirations of our peO-
pie to the extent of a public place for
recreation. But the truth is we have
never tried very hard yet. Labor we'll
directed almost invariably brings its own
reward. But we must keep hammering
and digging for it Someone who has a
genius for this sort of work will arise
amongst us and point out the wav. 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 its citizens need be
ashamed of it. When travelling through
the states we always write "WATER-
BURY" in big 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 a
great work before you and this may lead
to the discussion of the great social prob
lem which the leading minds of the
world ara 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
$25, 900 came to start the ball rolling. We
have big heads and big hearts in Water
bury who are watching your progress at
this moment. There never was time in
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 others
man u short time ago who is we'll 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 Their
families etc, etc. Probably we may finish
this next Friday night.
