FACTS AND FIGURES.

FACTS AND FIGURES.
 Economy in public affairs is strong issue upon which to appeal to the public, when it is backed mp by something more tangible than wind. The Republicans ar gument for the reelection of Mayor Web ster appeals to the pockets of our citizens, but deals only in genernlities and gives neither facts nor figures to substantiate its claims
 The assertion that economy has been istration is pure bluff. The city tax col lrcted thls''year on the list of 1899 was twenty-four mills, the highest tax ever levied Tn Waterbury. On the list of 1891 the tax was eighteen mills It was the same in 1890 and only sixteen mills in lSSg. So We see that Mayor Webster's ad- ministntion of alleged economy has made the taxpayer pay a city tax greater by six mills than ever before. To offset this, it may be claimed that temporary loans amounting to S20, ,O0O have been taken up True, but S20.0OO represents only two mill tax. What has become of tn, other four mills?
 As matter of fact there has been rcck- less expenditure of public money under Mayor Wrb>ter'S administration. Large. sums have been spent in developing new land and building sewers in the second ward. while more important matters have been neglected. By reference to the records it will be found that in the early part of each year great inroads have been made in the different appropriations to cnrry out work in favored localities. while mnch more important matters have been piseon-holed.
 For example, the Brooklyn district has for wears been made the dumping ground f"r the city sewage. to the great discom- fort and danger of the people in the vicin. ity Time and again the DEMocRAr hY, called attention to the fact that the sewer outlet should be removed to point fur thrr away from habitation. The repuhli ctn administration turned deaf ear t, th, appeal made in behalf of several thou  s,nd suffering people. Now. however. or the eve of an election, the work has beer ordered done. The people of the distric may judS, for themselves whether or not there is politics in this move
 To those who have followed local event, during the past two years, the need of change is painfully evident.

that the eye ever gazed upon. The wa
tiers are filled with trout and other game
fish, and in the spring, summer and fall
the sportsmen flock there from all sec
lions OF the country. One of the most
curious facts about Tennessee fish is
that they wish nothing but crickets.
Red worms, tall sawyers and the like
find no fish that will bite at them in our
waters, except suckers and small perch

with the fishermen is to get crickets. i

Certain of the guests at a certain
''swell' hotel OF the Back bay are in ron
vulsions of merriment over the modus
operandi of a certain matron in the no.
tel with regard to her recreation. They
come from the country, she and her hus-
band, who is, by the way, "a wealthy
lumber merchant, and pass their winters
in town. Whatever madam's previous
athletic training has been nobody knows
perhaps in a previous incarnation she
was a flying trapeze performer. But it
isn't needful to settle this question. Suf-
flee it to say that she has taken in this
life, OF such portion of it as she passes at

That's what | said.
Several times a week this fair woman
(whether she be blond or brunette she is

again. 1t may be that the planets have
decreed that she is in danger of fire in
this world, but the only explanation that
she makes for her unique amusement is
that she likes the sensation. 1t was kept

Dinners Looking Up.

Washington has always been a great
dinner place, and this last winter the
multitude of dinners interfered very seri-
Ously with other forms of entertainment.
AS Mrs. John Sherman correctly said in
an article on social life, Washington, par
excellence, must be the place for dinners
in this country, and this has got to be
the prevailing form of entertaining as
much as in London. The rich people
here always gave many handsome din
ners, but year by year other people who
live modestly have joined the ranks of
dinner givers, and as a dinner invitation
is the most desirable in the world this
form of entertainment has ~encroached
upon every other.
1t is not uncommon to find young men
who boldly decline every invitation ex-
cept those to dinners, and it is extremely
difficult to find one who does not declare
that dinners are the only entertainments
he cares about. Dancing is too much of
an exertion for the fin de steele young
man, and all he wants in Washington. in
addition to his modest pay as an army or
navy officer or a department clerk, is an
evening suit and plenty of dinner invita-
tons. The rest may go hang.-Washing-
ton Cor. Boston Transcript.

Who Stole the Locomotive?

A very unusual incident has occurred
on the railway between Lyons and Ire
voux The Lyons station master was as
tonished not to see the early morning
train from Trevoux arrive at the usual
hour, and after waiting some time tele-
graphed to know the cause of the DELAY.
He received the reply that the train had
not started because the engine had been
stolen! Though failing to understand
how an engine could be carried off with
out any one knowing anything about it,
he sent a spare engine from Lyons.
In the meantime the Trevoux engine
driver had been hunting everywhere for
his locomotive, which was ultimately
found standing On the line between Neu-
vile and Fleurville. 1t is supposed that
this practical joke-which might have
caused a serious accident-was played
by a dismissed servant of the railway
company.-Cor. London Standard.

The Doctor Will Not Sell,

A Lowell (Mass.) man gave a surgeon
now practicing at Great Falls, N. H.. a
deed some years ago disposing of his
body for anatomical purposes at his death
for $40 cash in hand. He has since been
in South America, has made a great deal
of money and is now anxious to have a
decent funeral and interment when he
dies, but counsel, whom ut has consult
ed, advises him hat the deed holds good
unless he buys it from the holder. This
he has tried to do. but the doctor has re-
fused large offers.

MANUAL TRAINING FOR GIRLS,
Reasons Why Girls Should Have the Same
Advantages That Boys Have.

Reasons why Girls Should Have the Same
Advantages That Boys Have.
The movement in favor of a manual
training school for girls is c~ommendable.
There is no reason for a manual training
school for boys that does not apply with
equal force to a like institution for girls,
and there are additional reasons why
girls should be taught how to carr their
bread in some practical way which will
obviate the necessity of a formal appren-
tlceship, rarely open to them.
Girls are more helpless and hence
more dependent on preliminary training
than boys. The regulations of society
combine with their w natures to make
this the case, and though the artificial
barriers erected by society have been
greatly weakened and many of them
have been broken down they will give
trouble for years to come.
Boys with elementary instruction still
have great advantages over girls similar
ly equipped, and to grant the former the
privileges which a manual training
school furnishes and deny them to the
latter is an injustice which can only be
accounted for by the skepticism which
long existed as to the success of such
schools. So long as they were expert
ments in public estimation it was proba-
bly, regarded as hazardous to establish
one for girls, but these institutions nave
passed the experimental stage. They
are now universally recognized as a most
potent auxiliary to the practical educa-
ton Of the youth of the country, and
the pioneer institutions, there is reason
to believe, will soon be followed by 9TH
ers wherever their usefulness has been
demonstrated.
The objection to creating a manual
training school for girls should not sur
vive the skepticism which for some time
cast a cloud over that method of educa-
ton. Girls are now employed in num-
bers in many of the factories of the coun-
try, and even We're the manual training
school to be established upon the basis
or for the purpose of familiarizing them
with such employments an immense
amount of good could be accomplished,
but there are occupations and handi-
crafts almost peculiar to women in which
preliminary Is OF vital i'm
portance, and this preliminary instruc-
ton cannot in many cases be obtained
at home.
Much unfair and unreasonable criti-
cism has been expended upon a large
class of American girls who engage in
certain occupations because of their ig-
norance of what they engage to do, but
how are they to learn under present con-
ditions? 1t is the system and not the
girls which is principally to blame.
If these girls were properly trained,
there would be a batter basis for the
criticism. but there would be very much
less OF it. and the community would be
far more comfortable because of this en-
%lightened method of education. -Balti-
more American.

"A Corpse Ruins u HOLIDAY.

Mardl Gras was spent in a woeful
fashion by a peasant who had come up
from a village near Melun to Paris for a
day to witness carnival merrymaking on
the b~oulevards. He was lunching in a
wineshop and recruiting his strength
with a view to a whole afternoon of
sightseeing when a workman entered
the restaurant where he was seated and
asked to be conducted to a hospital. as
he had suddenly been taken ill.
AT the landlords suggestion the peas
ant generously offered the sick man a
place in the cab he had hired with the
intention of seeing the fete as thoroughly
and as comfortably as possible. His err.
a of mercy would, he thought. take
him at most half an hour. but during the
journey the workman became worse and
died. AT the hospital the unlucky peas
ant was kept waiting an hour and final
ly told that it was impossible t. take in
a corpse. He drove off with his lugubri-
GUS charge to the nearest police station.
Here he again met with a refusal and
was dispatched off the police commissa-
riat of the Belleville quarter.
1t was 6 o'clock before the unfortunate
countryman could get rid of the melan-
choly burden, and he had just then time
enough left to get to his train at the
Lyons railway station. He had not as
much as caught a glimpse of the masks
and confetti he had come all the way
from his native village to see.-London

A Railroad Sues For Trespass.

A lawsuit entirely out of the common
course is reported in Cumberland county,
being n brought by the Maine Central
Railroad company against a Windham
man for trespass. During the recent
blizzard this man had occasion to drive
from Madison Falls to Windham village.
The highway was blocked and hard to
travel, SO when he reached the railway
crossing lea Madison Falls, seeing that
the Maine Central snowplows had made
a fine track. he turned his horse in that
direction and drove up the path of the
railroad to his destination. This was
very dangerous business, and the maj
submitted the company as well as him
self to a big risk. The suit is for $500,
and doubtless is intended as an object

Gov. Stone sent to the senate yes
terday the name of Col. James l.
Pace of Bates to be warden of the
state penitentiary. The fact that that
body courteously suspended its
rules and unanimously confirmed
the nomination is not only compli.
ment to the chief executive but high
testimony of the character and fit

Col. Pace has been active and
prominent in the politics of the state
for twenty years and the Jealous
supporter and steadfast friend of
Gov. Stoue throughout his public
career. Without disparagement to
his competitors, it is admitted on
all hands that the appointm ent
