A Wonderful Echo.
IFrom La Famille ]

At Madame ArsbelIe's tha conversation
turned upon echoes and lady in the COM
pany declared that she knew of one that
repeated a sound nine or ten times.
'Pooh! that is nothing" said the marquis;
81 have an echo in my park that can beat
you're into fits"
Impossible" said everybody In chorus.
"You can easily put It to the test, If you
like"
VERY good, we will step scro's to NOR
row to hear for ourselves"
"Yes, come without fal, ;" and SO saying.
the marquis took his departure, ita'ins
little scheme OF his oEp. On reaching
his mansion he sent for his old lsckey,
Ssncho by name.
"You are up to all sorts of tricks, old
chap. Do you think you could manage 10
play the part of an echo"
Certainly, my lord; you have only &c
shout no! no! and i repeat the same"
Every we'll; tomorrow afternoon you
shall go and stand in that clump of treeE
behind the lake and repeat thirty times any
cali that you may hear. gradually lowering
your voice; but mind-mum's the word,'
Next day his lord-hip's friends came
trooping into the park. Ssnoho was a

be dissipstsd," said the DsTquis; "~il

whereupon the marquis Inflated hii

Economy is the soul of wealth, but 1t is
When the announcement was made that
Democratic economy in town affairs had
made it possible to reduce the town tax
half mill there was general surprise.
Nobody was looking for Democratic econ
omy, and the announcement that there was
such thing was a startler. 1t turns out
that the surprise of the people was fully
justified. There has been no Democratic
economy in town affairs, and 1t is not due
to Democratic economy that the town tax
is to be reduced half mill. There has
been an economy in truth. The truth ia
that the half mill which is to be
taken off was an extra, put on for a
special purpose, to pay some "war bonds
that had come due. Having served its pur-
pose it can be taken off. 1t is not economy
to take 1t off when there Ia no excuse for
keeping 1t on. 1t is simply plain and an
easy duty.
It would have been wiser for the Demo
cratic ahouters to tell the truth about this
matter and not rest their chief claim to pub
lie approval on false basis. They could
have made little something of the fact
that 1t has been decided to take off half
mill that wasn't necessary, but they have
made themselves ridiculous by claiming a
natural and ordinary reduction as great
stroke of economy.

and also edged with feather trimming.
These bands are eight inches wide at the
shoulder. The deep velvet collar is ar
ranged in full folds and stifened With
haircloth. The top of the yoke behind is
laid In two deep boxplsats that continue
up as far as the top of the standing collar,
for which. of course, the stuff must be al

novelty of the jacket lies in the large bell

Bishop Coke thinks it is about time to
begin to fear the Jesuits in earnest. He
thinks that Jesuit party in our politics
has been formed and that henceforth 1t
will proceed more openly to clog and curse
our legislation. He pays his respects to
Monsignor Satoln, the vics-pope who has
been trying to spread himself all over this
country, as follows: You have ever since
your arrival posed as a sovereign prince
and general meddler with affairs every
where, and chiefly among Jesuits at the
national capital. Nor can you be congrat-
ulated with any remarkable degree of sue
cess among your own people. They do not
all admire a vice-pope for America. You
are entitled to your passports and to be
dismissed at once. We wish you long life
and many happy New Year's-in Lepanto.
Meantime, let me suggest that you let us
and our Roman Catholic neighbors alone.
This is plain language, but not too plain.
1t is foolish to cry peace, peace, when there
is no peace. The performance in which
Satolli has been the chief figure has not
been of character to soothe the fears of
those who are opposed to interference in
the affairs cf this country by Rome. He
had some trouble at first with some OF
those to whom he was sent, but be seems
to have been able to make them under.
stand their places and his place, and now
all is serene, aud he is apparently at work
to make his church what he thinks 1t ought
to be here. On Thanksgiving Day in Wash
ington, the capital of this great, glorious and
still comparatively fres country, he unbos
omed himself concerning Catholic schools.
He said, among other things: will ga!
that whoever seriously meditates on the
| principles of the American constitution
whoever is acquainted with the presen
condition of the American republic, should

throughout the centuries of the constitr
ton, and the best guide of the republic

stitution will gather that assimilation 6
necessary for the perfect organization {

This is modest claim, and one we'll ca

underlies 1t. It is evident that Broth

ATTENTION, REPUBLICANS!
The Democrats did their best to get the
Republican town convention to nominate
ticket that would suit their purposes.
The convention didn't fall into the trap and
1t nominated ticket that is disturbing the
Democrats nightly. 1t will disturb them
more If every Republican voter in New Ha-
ven will take pains to vote on Tuesday
Not a word has been said against the men
who compose the ticket. Not word can
fairly be said against them. They are en-
titled to the hearty support and vote of
every Republican, and We would remind
Republican voters that the situation is
such this year that their votes are impor-
tant. There are three tickets in the field,
and nobody knows just how they will
work. One thing Is certain, and that is
that there are many in the Democratic
party who are not pleased with the ticket
that has been made for them, and they
will not vote it. There may be some sur
prises Tuesday. 1t is therefore the plain
duty of Republicans to turn out and vote
for the thoroughly clean and respectable
ticket that has been made for them.

THE HAT BUSINESS.

The hat factories of Danbury are all "fair shops" so called, because the en- ployes are all Union men, the manutac- turers by mutual agreement employing no other, at regular prices mutually agreed on. They put "tnion labels on every finished hat. The number of labels used would show the number of hats fin ished in given time. The writer was privileged to examine the official report of the union for six months. The num- Der of labels issued for the six months from May to November l, 1892, was 2,500,0O0. And the season was not re- garded as a good one, as every one ac- uuainted with hating knows. These were put on here on the hats finished and turned out on the market from Danbury. A large number besides those finished here are partly made here and sent away ''ln the rough" to be finished elsewhere and the labels are placed where they are finished. Our informant estimated that more than one quarter, nearer one third, are sent away in the rough. This will add much to the amount of business rep resented by the labels put on here.

WARREN.
THE REMoDELED CHURCH.

Unmixed good or evil belong not to mortals here below. Every cup is mix ed. We speak comparatively, when we say person drank the cup to it's bitter dregs. The facts as to the Warren peo- pie are these. On October 20, 1891, the church edifice on the hill was struck by lightning, shivering to atoms the spire and steeple down to the bell deck, leav- ing the bell unharmed. The bolt enter
 ed the arched ceiling of the audience room, nearly over the organ in the gall lery, which it demolished. It passed to the floor below and escaped at the sill at the south side of the building. The house instantly filled with smoke and the eX- pansive power of the electricity found ventb by bursting out 700 panes of glass, destroying in several instances, sash and all, and hurling the blinds as mere toys. The edifice had stood over 70 years sym metrical and grand and a most interest ing way mark to the cursory traveller. One moment had changed all this. Oh what sad plight! There stood the poor wounded, gasping meeting house. Was death imminent? It seemed so. The sight was too pitiful to gaze upon and one had to turn away in sorrow. It was very painful to look upon the ruin. Did it take fire? Oh no. It was as great won- der that it did not take fire, as why it did not. The organ was insured for $l0OO. The church was insured, but not against damage by lightning. At first, it seemed evident that the shock it had sustained was beyond repair, but careful exami- nation from foundation to roof showed that it still maintained it's integrity and was good for many years to come. Af- ter pausing long enough to take breath and recover somewhat from so stunning a h}0w arranOampntS made for fem porary repairs, so that we could worship in it. In the meantime the makers of the organ, after careful examination of the material out of which it was con- structed, agreed to replace it for the in surance. About $l200 or more were rais- ed by gift or subscription, to restore the steeple and spire as nearly as possible to it's former state and make other needed repairs. The steeple has been restored. The organ replaced in the gallery as 1 bright and good as new. The interior of the house has been entirely renovated. The walls and ceiling painted in oil in the most substantial manner, and the frescoing reproduced to it's former per fections The pillars and all the wood
 work in colors to correspond with the walls and ceiling. The slips and grained work vanished and the floors newly car pcted. We entered it on Christmas day. How glad were we to get home once more, where our fathers wOrshipped as long ago as when James Monroe was President and occupied the White House
 and before Gen Lafayette made his last visit to America and the tomb of Wash
 ipgton and was sent home in the shiI
 Brandywine. Nothing is quicker thar
 thought. With what lightning speed this
