Waterbury evening Democrat., 1894-11-01

JAMES p. PIGorr is an able representa-
tive in congress of the people or the
Second district. When he pledges that he
will faithfully perform the duties of his
office when he shall have been reelected,
the people know that he means what he
says. They know that he will be in his
seat every day of the session. and that he
will never be silent when the interests of
lis constituents demand that he should
speak. His opponent has had no legisla-
tive experience. He is too old to learn.
but ought to be old enough to have the
sense to keep clear of the A. p. A. stigma
that surrounds him.
The straight ticket should be the war
cry of the democrats in the Fight that is
now on. There is scarcely any necessity
to say that every candidate is standing by
the ticket loyalty. The republicans. how.
ever, are leaving nothing undone to create
dissensions in the democratic ranks, hop
ing thereby to take advantage of the situa.
ton and elect their candidates for senator
and representatives. There should be nc
trading of votes. Great principles are in.
volved and every democrat who carefully
considers the matter will vote for the
party nominees. As Senator Hill truly
said in accepting the nomination for gov
ernor of New York. a great crisis has been
reached by the democratic party. Success
now means long lease of power. Every
democrat should be true in the hour Of
peril

was 102 deaths In all these statistics,
deaths occurring on the Berlin side are not
included. Notwithstanding the great in
crease Of population of Montpelier during
the past six years, these statistics show a
falling off in the death rate for the year 1898
of thrty.three per cent, as compared with
the average of the five previous years. 1t is
interesting to note that the total number of
deaths, 69 is the smallest number for the
past six years.

"reminiscences.

Editor Of the Wdtchmdn:-In reading the|
WATCHMAN every week il brings up many
memories of my childhood and youth, while
living in Montpelier. There is one of Lad
fayette, when visiting this country. 1t was
announced in the WATCHMAN that he was
in Boston and would be in Montpelier OF
such day. Great preparations were madel
to receive min. ! have confused memory
of the events of the day, but know the
citizens met him and escorted him TO the
hotel The next day they met at the old
brick church, where speeches were made.
Among the speakers was a woman of the
place, a Mrs. Watrous. | remember her
closing words were " Let us and every
free born child in America ever associate
the name of Lafayette with that of our be-
loved Washington" A curious incident oc-
Cured at the hotel where he was stopping
1t was the fashion of those days for the bed
in the guest chamber to be made up very
high, the higher the more stylish. On the
occasion of the visit of so distinguished a
guest, the host went beyond every pre-
cedent. On a high bedstead was placed a
large straw tick. On that were three full
feather beds. A new counterpane had TO be
made The bed was so high that some steps
were placed for the guest to mount upon.
When he was conducted to the chamber
and saw the bed, he refused 10 occupy it till
it was lowered. When he left the place for
Burlington, he was to pass by the school
house where | attended school. There was
green plat between the school-house and
road. By order of the teacher, the rubbish
was picked off and the space swept By the
request of the teacher, we all had on our
holiday attire and were seated upon the
green grass--the girls on one side of the
school-house door, the boys on the other.
When the carriage containing Lafayette ap-
preached the scholars, having before been
instructed by the teacher, all arose, the
girls courtesied the boys took off their hats
and bowed. Lafayette raised his hat and
bowed. l never forgot his looks. He had
auburn hair, bright hazel eyes, and long
brown eyelashes, prominent nose and a
fresh-looking countenance. There were
several carriages in the retinue and men on
horseback, but | had eyes only for Lafayette.
AS my knowledge Of history then was linn
tied, could not understand why he was SO
highly honored. The Life of General
Lafayette was published soon after. My
friends bought a copy and | eagerly de-
voured its contents. After that Lafayette
was my greatest hero,

SERGT. CHARLES CHINE, at Fort Pulaski,
lighted fire in dampened powder to drive
out mosquitoes When the successive
explosions of powder, shells and other
war supplies ceased to shake the fort and
the neighborhood it was discovered that
she sergeant was mortally hurt, and that
his mother-in-law was badly injured. In
the course OF the day the flames about the
woodwork of the fort were extinguished,
and after new roof is put on the garri
son store room things will begin to look
all right again. All these points are
gathered from the printed reports of the
occurrences under review. But one essen
sisl piece of information is omitted from
Ihe stories. No one has thought to tell
what became of the mosquitoes.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 2T-The mer-
curry has been trying hard to climb past
the 100 mark for the past three days, but
the best 1t could do was 9S Wednesday
and H yesterday. While the heat has
been intense there has been so little hui
midity that no great suffering has re-
suited. The crops, however, have been
seriously damaged Telegraphic reports
from western Kansas and Oklahoma are
just as bad as they can be. The Kansas
crops appear to be in danger of almost
total destruction. The corn in many
fields has burned up, and during the past
three days hot winds have swept over the
western half of Kansas, leaving destruc-
ton in their path.

One Of the latest phases of this

terrified by the fearful ravages of the
plague, refused to allow the burial in the

Of persons who had died from the dis
