A DRUNKEN MANS LUCK.

Clifford westberg Falls From Third
story window and Is as Good as New.
Clifford Westberg, employed at the
Waterbury Clock company, has been in
Waterbury about a week. coming here
from Brooklyn, N. Y. Last night he
went to the opera house with his brother
and after the show was over evidently
got more Waterbury stimulants aboard
than he could conveniently carry. This
morning at 2 o'clock he was found by
John Clear, an electric light inspector,
who was going his rounds, lying on the
sidewalk in front of Ladd's grocery
store, on South Main street. Mr. Clear
notified Officer McAuliff, who took the
man to the station house. 1t was
found that he had fallen out of a rear
window of Music hall, striking on Mr.
Ladd's awning, which he went through.
The distance is about fifty feet. The
man was very drunk and unable to tell
anything about how he got into the
hall, which the janitor says he left
locked when he went home. He was
badly bruised on the left side of the
face and head and his left eye was in,
iured. No bones were broken, nor did
he complain of being otherwise hurt
This morning he told his story to Judge
Bradstreet in the police court and ha6
judgment suspended.

Commerford on Immigration,

G. G. Commerfc I'd writes to the
World concerning Immigration 1 am
decidedly in favor of immigration, and
know that the greatness of our country
is largely due to the people who have
left other lands and made their home
with us. What conquered territories
have added to the wealth of Great
Britain immigration has brought to US
and that without the instrumentality OF
the bayonet or the bullet. England's
policy has been to conquer and subdue
remote and harmless peoples in differ
ent sections of the globe in order tc
open market for her trade. With us
through the peaceful tide of immigra
ton, millions of human beings have
been ditfused over our broad expanse OF
territory, to become both producers
and consumers of the abundance
which this country has created. If we
have some, possibly many, of the crimi
nal and pauper class. they are only the
unfortunate of our fellow creatures who
have been the victims of the bad gov
ernments under which they have lived
Let us hope that they may become bet
ter after landing upon our shores-ii
permitted to do so. And now that the
democratic party is once more to as,
sumo control and direction of nationa
affairs let us hope that among Other
things the immigrant may be helped il
some way to place himself and the
value of his labor in the west, where
both are needed to develop the country
and consume the products of the manu-
featuring east.

the Town Authorities.
Poor old John Sullivan, the harmless
ly insane man who has been a familiar
figure in Waterbury for long time, is
dying alone and uncared for in the
basement of Brior's hotel on South Main
street, where he has been sheltered and
fed for many years by the kInd-hearted
people who conduct the house. He has
been failing in bodily health for several
weeks and cannot long survive. His
condition is pitiable in the extreme and
the town authorities should OF once
have him removed to the almshouse
where he can be properly cared for.
Sullivan's mania is of peculiar nature.
He belives that the Naugatuck railroad,
the horse railroad and all the public
buildings in the city are his.
and at regular intervals when his
health permitted he went the rounds
trying to collect his rents. In summer
he always appeared on the streets wear.

commanding the horse car drivers t.

almshouse, but always on completing hi

A few weeks ago he returned to tn,

tresses of shining golden hair, who has
become great favorite in Waterbury

is told in simple and unaffected man
ner, and several of the scenes are de
cidedly realistic.

Glands Across the Sea- will be the
