Morality Before Smartness.

Several years ago a 12-year-old lad, bright
and active, interesting in his talk and ex-
ceedingly brisk in his manner, made appli-
cation to a neighbor in a town near Boston
for "a job" He was accommodated and
was set at work clearing up the yard. A
bright half dollar was the reward for his
services. His employment became regular,
but it was plainly noticeable that his work
with his first undertaking. The working
boy Of the short time previous did not APP
pear to take that interest which he had
first manifested in his duties. The result
was that his services were dispensed with.
The gentleman who gave him employ
ment became SO much interested in the lad
that he had several talks with him, and be-
came convinced that he was deceitful and
unreliable. "
The time went on. The neighbor had SO
prospered in his special line of endeavor
that he had become the managing head of
a large railroad system. One day, while
he was passing through the master me-
chanic's department, that official handed q
letter to the manager. 1t was excellently
written, both as regarded style, diction and
p~enmanship. 1t was commented upon as
about the strongest letter the master me-
chanic had ever seen from a IS or 16-year-
old boy.
The general manager recognized the
signature, however, as that Of the young
man who had been slack and inattentive in
his work when, employed by him. d.
The sequel wa that the master mechanic
had no place for the boy.-Boston Herald.

Good Manners.

Behavior is a comprehensive little word
that means kindness, politeness. civility,
consideration and whatever else enables
one to be a credit to himself and a comfort,
help and companion to his fellowman. II
boys and girls are to become gentlemanly
and ladylike, they must learn good man
ners by observing and initiating the be.
havior of those whom they know to have
been educated and carefully trained. They
can learn how to hold their knife and fork,
how to drink quietly, how to eat with lips
closed, how to taste without smacking the
lips, how to sneeze and yawn without max
ing a noise or offending peoples taste, how
to sit up straight, how to walk gracefully
and how to wear their clothes. 1t is often
sive to blow the nose or touch the hair at
table; it is offensive to discuss painful sub
jects; it Is offensive to eat with the knife
or to grasp either the knife or fork, below
the handle; it is offensive to eat greedily or
to try and talk with the mouth full.-New

O'BRlEN'S BAKERY BURNED.
Delay Caused by the Bursting of tn
Main on Bishop Street.

Delay Caused by the Bursting of the
Main Bishop Street.
An alarm of fire was sent in from box
%, corner of North Elm, North Main
and Grove streets at 7:15 this morning.
The department found the building oc-
cupied by the O'Brien brothers, bakers,
as bake shop, storehouse and barn in
flames. Considerable delay was expert
enced in getting water, owing to the ice
and cold and as soon as a stream had
been turned on from the Bishop street
hydrant, it was discovered that the main
had burst.
The fire occurred while the bakers
were at breakfast and originated in the
hayloft which was situated over the
oven.
In the barn were ten tons of hay and
ton of straw, which were entirely
consumed. There were 1875 barrels of
flour in the storehouse which was all
saved. The horses, vehicles and harnesses
were also safely removed. The building
was entirely Quilted by the flames and
is almost a total loss.
The cause of the fire is unknown, but
it is thought that some tramps had been
sleeping in the hayloft during the night
and accidentally or otherwise are to
blame.
Chief.Snagg, however, is of the opin-
ion that the fire started from loose hay
which was thrown about near the top
of the oven. The building is owned by
David Trubee & Co of Bridgeport and is
damaged, according to the fire chief, to
the extent of $500. The O'Brien
Brothers lose is said to be 81 900, partly
insured.

Selectman Conran, expect to leave on
February IS, for Florida. They will go

Although the Horse Railroad COM
pan ask to have their charter extended
to run to Grove cemetery, there are
probably not five in the town who be-
lieve they would build any road below
Maple street unless it was for side track
purposes, near Flynn's stables or the
base ball park.
1t is no wonder that the city bakery
sells such lot of mixed candy, when
they only charge ten cents pound for
that which others are selling at twenty.
Our citizens will find enough going on
next week evenings to keep them busy.
Sunday evening, church; Monday, two
or more lodges; Tuesday, Balm at parish

About thirty Hibernian riflemen from
Waterbury took part in the drill at the

We have often heard the remark
"clear as a bell,' which we hardly
think would apply to st Michaers which
has crack from five to seven inches
long in it, making it far from melodius.
Without a doubt the Mendelssohn
quintette that appeared at the Parish
house last night were the fine artists in
high grade music who have ever appear
ed here. The flute solos by Mr. Herbert,
cello by Mr. DiesteI, and clarionet by the
veteran director, Thomas Ryan, were
played with remarkable sweetness. The
violin solo by Mr. Marcosson showed him
also to be an artist of high order. Miss
Juel, the Swedish soprano with the com.
pany, has sweet melodious voice, high.
ly cultivated, but owing to the large an,
dience and close air was not heard to the
best advantage last night. All the art
lists were heartily encored.
While the family of Minor Bald win OF
Straitsville were attending a grange
meeting last night his house took fire
it is supposed from the chimney, anC
/ burned to the ground. A portion of the
furniture on the first floor was gotter
out. The building was a good sized two
story farm house.

PINNEY AND BOUGHTON.
Decision of the Supreme Court Inter

decision of the Supreme Court Inter
preted in Their Favor,
A decision in the contested election
case of Grelle VS. Pinney and Boughton
was handed down this afternoon by the
supreme court. The court finds no er,
ror in the appeal of the plaintiff but
finds error in the appeal of the defend,
ant.
John P. Kellogg, attorney for Messrs
Pinney and Boughton, says that this
ruling sustains the claim of his clients
that they were legally elected.
Charles G. Root, attorney for the Dem
ocratic selectmen, had heard nothing of
the decision until approached up
on the matter by DEMOCRAT
reporter. He did not care to say posi-.
lively what the decision Invested of its
legal phraseology meant, but intimated
that it was against Messrs Grelle and
McElligott.

"a Nutmeg Match"


ga Nutmeg Match" will be presented
at the opera house this evening. All
the scenery used in the play is of the
most elaborate nature, and the crown
ing glory of stage realism is reached in
the third act, where an actual working
pile driver of immense proportions is in
troduced. Miss Annie Lewis, one of the
most buoyant and attractive of Ameri-
can soubrettes, is the star. She is sup
ported by an unusually capable and
effective company.

dancing and witticisms, and some odd
extravagances in makeup and cos

which changes its scene of action with
sufficient rapidity to satisfy the most
ardent admirer of this class of bur
lesque.
"Our Club"
A rare treat will be serve d to the
patrons of the opera house on Monday
evening, when E. j. Henley, direct
from his long run at the Union Square
theatre, will present the new comedy,
Our Club" from the pen of F. G. Bur
nand of London Punch. AS the i'm
peIuouS rrenchman, Mr. Henley gives
one of the most natural characterize
lions to be seen on the stage to-day.
Without doubt Mr. Henley is the lead
ing character actor of the present time,
and this part fits him to a nicely.
Among the others in the company may
be mentioned Dorothy Dene, the beauti-
full English actress; Irene Everett,
Jennie Reiffarth, Ida Vernon, Lisle

amendment recommended by the
Horse Railroad Co, now pending
before the Legislature in Hartford,
and attend to it at once; if not, l
fear you will regret your negli-
gence when it is too late, because
it reminds me of the beggar in the

undertook to tell the man of the

What Becomes of Trophies"

The girl who has a brother knows-and
there is something sad in this-she knows
what becomes of faded flowers, bits of rib
bon and the like. She has seen her brother
carefully fasten a red rose close to certain
photograph upon the wall She has noticed
his agitation when the housemaid happened
to dust both the rose and the picture to the
floor. She has watched him save the pieces
of that dried up rose, and after that she has
heard him wonder why he was such a sim
pleton about that girl, and has seen him
consign the broken posy, with a lot of other
rubbish, to the flames. She has known
him to take out tender relics that have been
carefully wrapped and laid away and ask
himself where on earth they came from or
why he ever kept them.
On one occasion she profited by bitter
lesson which he learned They were board
'ing-he and she-in a house where there
were a number of young people, several OF
whom had been out together one evening
When the brother had retired to his room
that night, he drew flower from his but
tonhole and held it up. Another trophy"
he said languidly and dropped it in the
CRATE. The next day at table his blunder-
ing roommate was accusing him of being a
hardened flirt and to prove his statements
told the trophy story.
The lesson came in here. The girl who
had given him the flower happened to be
sitting opposite. with fire in her eyes, and
heard it all. Since that time she has been
almost as wary about giving flowers to SEN
timentai youths as though she had broth
er of her own.-Chicago News Record
