old-Style devices, when better ones are
TO be mad, simply because of their IN
limited knowledge of fine mechanical
construction.
In the production of writing ma
chine many points of excellent mechan-
ical skill and inventive genius abound.
Take, for instance, the Smith Premier
Typewriter, which has recently been
adopted by the United States war de-
partment. which ordered $50. in order
that they might purchase the very best,
the machine standing highest in points
of Improvement, durability, etc, a board
of government mechanical experts was
selected. who made an impartial and
thorough examination of all writing
machines. The award was given the
Smith Premier Typewriter Company.
Certainly such all examination and de-
cision is Of vast Importance to persons

STARR ON splRIrUALIsM.

The CITY Hall Full to Overlooking Last
Night to Hear Professor Starr.
He Is different kind OF spiritualist to
any we have ever had in Waterbury be-
fore. He believes in the bible and in the
church. He does not discriminate be-
tween the churches, but believes they
are all good ,one as good as the other and
are each and all necessary for the civil
cation OF man. Some ignorant hood
lums In the gallery misunderstood him
at one time and thought that Professor
Starr was saying something against the
Catholic church and began to hiss.
This was a mistake due entirely to the
inattention paid by the hoodlums to
Professor Starr's remarks, for he dis
tinctly expressed his faith and belief, as
much in the Catholic church as in any
other. He rebuked the toughs for their
rowdyism in BETTING language, which
brought the hearty applause of the
whole audience. He is certainly q
wonderful man, and shows that he has
been an untiring student of the laws
which produce these wonderful and
strange things, which the spiritualists
claim are done by the aid of the dead.
His burning of glass of water, light
ing a newspaper by pointing his finger
at 1t. table rapping and moving and
Mrs STAIRS astonishing French seance,
was superior 70 anything ever witnessed
in that line in Waterbury. The Stars
will have big house tonight.

gasp for breath and the mother found
that the turnip had lodged in her
throat, and the child almost ceased
breathing. DR. Donahue was called and
performed the operation of tracheotomy,
or the opening of the windpipe, greatly
relieving the child. Doctors Frost and
Axtelle were then called in and the

of the physicians that the piece of
turnip lodged in the lung.
