LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

The "DemOcrat" Praised in Song at a Concert in watertOwn. Editor of the DEMOCRAT: The second annual concert given by the Citizens Brass band of Watertow n, on Monday evening, proved to be a great success, Sepple's opera house being filled to it's utmost capacity. The band looked splendid in their new uni forms, each member doing his best to please the audience. The leader of the band, George Trewrew, had also charge of the choir, which consisted of the following ladies and gentlemen: The Trewrew, Miss Maggie Dunigan, Miss Jennie Oxley, Messys George Hudson, Charles Hudson, Henry St George, James Dunigan, Hugh Catherson, Robert Trewrew and Harry Barnes. The duets sung by Mrs F. N. Barton and George Trewrew were we'll applauded. The alternate, "Far, Far Away" sung by St George and Dunigan, accom- panied on the organ by Miss Maggie Dunigan, giving some local hits to our citizens Tn friendly manner, were re- peatedly encored. R. Deland gave an exhibition of banjo playing, after which every one went home content with their evenings fun. One verse of the topical song was as follows: Have you heard the latest chat,
 Far, far away;
 Twas published in the DEMOCRAT,
 Far, far away;
 The Watertown band will go on a tear, They have got the contract, so we hear, To play three months at the Worlds fair,
 Far, far away. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the fentertainment.

STRIKE PRACTICALLY OVER.

Painters Say That They Wnl Work For the Interest of TheIE Employer.
 Most of the painters and decorators who stopped work last Saturday until cer- tain concessions would be made, re- stunned work at their old places this morning. Most of the boss painters agree to give the men the nine hour day after September 1. They also agree that after May only union men shall be employed. Two of the firms, how ever, the L. F. Hasse Go and A. F. Fay Tor & Go make the following statement:
 "We wish to correct statement current as to our agreement, made with the local painters union. It is our privi- lege as it always has been to employ whom we please, as we have entered into no agreement to employ none but union men," A committee from the Painters union called at the DEMOCRAT office to day and made a statement which, they say is final, to the effect that the painters do not propose to be arbitrary, but to work \ for the best interests of the bosses, who
 under the agreement have a right to hire whoever they please. They believe
 it is for the interest of the public that a settlement has been made, and that all painters in Waterbury join the union, because painters who are incompetent
 and unreliable flock to towns where
 there is no union, or the nine hour rule
 is not observed, not being able to obtain
 work elsewhere. All they ask in re- gard to the hiring of help is that the
 bosses encourage all men to join the
 union.
 While Phoenix, No Is hose team was out for exercise about 8 o'clock this
 morning a slight accident was met with
 which, if it.h had occurred while going to fire, might have resulted in much damage. When near the corner of South
 Main and Grand streets the hind axle of the wagon broke in the center bringing
 both wheels up against the side of the
 wagon. Driver Flynn stopped his
 horses before other injury was done the
 vehicle. The wagon was to go in the shop to-day for general over hauling.

Dog PoIsoners at New Preston.

NEW MILFORD, April 5.-There is a strange distemper prevalent among the dogs of New Preston. The disease, which has proved fatal in a number of cases, appears to be of the nature of in- digestion. A number of valuable bird dogs have succumbed and the owners are at a loss to know how to account for it. It is not known that any mad dog has been at work, although a num- Der of animals affected with the rabies have been shot in this vicinity. It is thought possible that some one may be poisoning the animals.

CHRIST.

Oh Nazarene, oh Love and Light,
That suffered death for sins Of man,
Oh wronged, who find in Thee the right.
oh Mercy, lifting sorrows ban.
Want lifts its wasted hand to Thee.
And pallid lips their woe express:
And death-touched eyes in visions see
The glory OF Thy tenderness.
As little children come for rest
With dragging feet, and lay the head
Upon the loving mothers breast
Secure within its Graded bed,
So children come we, Christ to Thee.
Tired OF the turmoil and the strife,
Tired OF hurried worlds decree,
Tired OF the thorn strewed path OF life.
10 as the stone was rolled away
From that dark tomb so long ago,
Roll back the burdens OF to-day
And help the heart to bear each blow.
Thou knowest. kneeling low, how oft
We've prayed for pardon and release,
Oh Risen One, look from alOft
And comfort with Thy blessed peace.
Forgive and as the lilies bloom
White petaled, pure, with fragrant
breath,
Oh break the souls encircling tomb
God crowned-oh Victor over death,
Rose PeqrIs.

Too Drunk to Leave.

A travelling man stopped in Soda
liza Friday night and proceeded to get
on ''high old lonesome" He went
to his hotel at late hour dead drunk.
When he awoke about noon yester-
day he found himself minus two gold
watches and about $50 in money,
which he had in his possession the
evening before. He was unable to
tell where he had been, but supposed
he had been robbed while drunk.
Later in the afternoon a local mer-
chant with whom he does considerable
business. handed him the missing ar
ticles and told him he had taken them
from him while he was in his store
Friday evening, knowing he was too
drunk to carry them around with him.
1t was a good lesson and he says he
will not touch the stuff any more.

Police Court.

Only two cases were in the Police
court yesterday morning. John Henry
Summers made his regular appear
ance tor about the nine hundred and
ninety-ninth time and got a fine of
$40 and thirty days in Jail. John
made a plea to Judge Rauck, stating
he hadn't been drunk for three months.
He characterized the officers who ar
rested him as thieves and robbers.
Fifty days on the rock-pile will do
him no good, and it is question of
what will.
Mary Taylor, alias Birdie Scott was
arrested Friday night for late hours,
and received a fine of $40, for which
she will break rock for the city's bene-
fit. She is known to the police as
'Warsaw."

Ashamed OF His Master.

He was drunk, so drunk he didn't
know whether he was walking OF on
foot, yet he was trying to coax his
dog to eat a piece of meat be had
brought out of the saloon over the
way. They had come to town to-
gether in the morning and now, the
old man had just thought of his dog,
horse and home for the first time.
The dog knew him well enough, but
the very attitude Of the dumb beast
showed he was ashamed Of his masters
condition. His ears and tail dropped
and his whole body showed disgust
and a desire to get away from the
scene, and he even turned his
head away when the meat was
thrust in his face. : He kept edging
away from the man and around the
corner toward where the horse was
tied as if to coax him to come away.
Finally the old man mounted with a
drunken lurch and the three set off
toward home, the dog in the lead.
And it all happened in Sedalia.

Missouri Pacific train No. 3, due in
this city at 1926 a. m, was sent to the
NJ. X. Il T. hospital this morning,
suffering from badly sprained back,
the result of a fall from the engine.
Christian went out on the engine,
when near Ellston, a station a few
miles this side If Jefferson City, to at
tend to the sand pipe. He was not
missed until the train arrived at Cen
tertown, where they waited until the

Threatened His Life.

John Goetz. the bartender in Sam
uel Brobrecker's saloon, No. 112
Usage street, was surprised to have
Fred Julius, who had been dis
charged from the place last Wednes-
day, walk in with a shot gun yester-
day morning and accuse GOetz Of tell
ing lies on him. Goetz promptly
took the gun from the Young man
and emptied the two she,.s from it,
gave it back, kicking him out of the
front door.
1t appears that young julius had
been employed in the liquor house as
a porter. He was caught making
free with the wet goods and promptly
discharged last week. Nothing was
done about the matter, the wages due
him having been paid to his father.
Somehow the father got hold of the
true facts of the case and confronted
the young man with it. Just what
the answer was is not known but if
the young man makes any further
threats warrent will be sworn out
for his arrest.
