The Reputation of Waterbury is at
 Stake.

While disturbances have been going on between Capital and Labor all over this country for many years, the relations existing between employer and enploves in this world renonwed industrial center have been sin sularly free from friction. Manufac- tnrers and their workmen alike held alott the White Banner of peace, and all of us rr ioiced in the growth of our city and the good feeling that prevailed. We have had no NIT Tricks here. The men al the helm in the various branches of industry We're willing to listen to just complaints and remedy the evil as far as they were able The same common sense and busl- ness foresight that our manufacturers h we always sh Dvn will take ns through this financial crisis, which every one be lieves to be only temporary.
 First and most important, the credit of our manufacturers Is beyond question No store keeper will refuse their checks or promise to pay IL will serve as a medium of exchange until the cash comes The work men will be willing to work with this understanding. Next We read from the most reliable sources, R. J. Damn < Co.,, Bradstreet's and others, that the demand will soon Over:ake the supply. There is absolutely no stock ahead The manufacturers who take advantage of the

A NURSERY SCREEN.
A ServiccrhIc Addition to Baby's Room
 and Readily Made.


 and Readily Made.
 To make a nursery scrap screen. says the New York Times. buy a medium sized Clotheshorse and Use all the four panels or divide it in half. according to your time, patience and the number ot pictures you have collected. Of course the four panels are better, for these screens are invaluable in illness, lot only on account of the amusement they provide for the little patient, but also aS a capital protection against drafts when opened around the bed. If the supply of pictures, therefore, Is not adequate for the four panels, two might be left untin- ished to be added to little hy little until completed.
 Get the clotheshorses with square rungs instead of the round, as they are much easier to tdck to. and cover both sides with dampeped unbleached mus lin. This will dry quite taut and should afterward be covered with sizing, which may be bought at any paper hangers or may be made in the house, as it Is only flour paste mixed thin, with the addition of little glue After the size Is quite dry the screen is ready for the pictures. Some people make them with one side covered with colorcd pictures and the other with black and white prints, but it Is prettier to use only Colored pictures and to cover the reversible side with q pretty wall paper.
 A great deal of ingenuity may be dis played in the arrangement of the pie lures, which should be cut out and put on so as to overlap each other, amalSa- mating them so as to produce some little method in the madness. It is a good plan to put some large pictures from a Christmas pictorial i'll the center and work toward the corners, using the larger pictures first. A pretty effect may be produced by using flower and fruit pieces as borders. When the panel is covered, every unpasted edge should be attended to with paintbrush and paint, and then the whole should be var nished afterward. The edges may be fin, ished with red leather, put on with brass tacks, or even pretty contrasting pa per neatly gummed on will do. It is { great improvement to finish the top witt | little railing.

WILLIAM JOHNSON DYING.
Life Prisoner Whose Crime Is still
 Fresh in Memory.


 Fresh in Memory.
 William E. Johnson, who is serving a life sentence in the state prison for rape, is dying from consumption. He had two hemorrhages Saturday night. Johnson has q wife and two children in Burrville. He was sent to " wetherstield from Litchfield in 1889. His people are in strengthened circumstances. His wife has not been to see him since his illness. His mother was at the prison last week. Since her visit Warden Woodbridge wrote her that she might go to Wetherstield and see her son as often as she liked. He received reply from her with instructions to have the body prepared for burial and she would take it. A week ago yesterday Johnson wrote letter to his wife and children bidding them good bye. Warden Woodbridge save he does not believe in being so severe on convictS that are go- ing to die and in the case of Johnson h6 reversed a long established precedent of allowing the prisoners to write letters but once a month and gave Johnson permission to have letrer written to his mother yesterday. Johnson is 30 years old.
 Charles Robinson. 20 years old, is in the hospital quite low with consumption. He was sent from Hartford in 1899 for seven years for horse stealing. He had worked for A. N. Pierson, florist in Cromwell, and on being notified of the young mans condition, Mir Pierson and his wife visited hIm. They seem to be about all the friends he has.
 Michael Pappa. an Italian sent from New Haven in 1892 for assault with in tent to kill, is also in the hospital suffer ing with consumption. Warden Wood bridge says that nearly all the hospita cases are consumptives. The reason fol this is he thinks that many of the mer have led hard lives and confinement goes strongly against their constitutions.
