The English Pngilist Does Not Seem to
 Want to Face COrbett.
 JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 3.-Charley Mitchell has shown the white feather or something that very much resembles the article despised by tsl lovers of the prize ring. Despite his alleged consuming de- sire to face Corbett in the arena, the latest developments seem to indicate that the Englishrnan is ready to squeeze through any loophole to escape meeting the cham pion of America. That and not the alleged Knockout of the Duval Athletic club .by Governor Mi CEelI in the courts here is the real sensation of the day in sporting cir cles.
 After Soli ;;:CT Christie, under coercion from the governor, refused to have any thing to do with the test case brought by the athletic club, by which promoters of the contest hoped to have tEe Florida law relating to prize fis shts settled so as to pre- clude the possibility of any interference on the day set for the fight, the managers of the club began casting about for ways and means to pull off the affair in spite of the governor and the courts
 Manager Bowden of the club sent Harry Mason over to St. Augustine to see Mitch ell and induce him to sign amended arti- cles of agreement. The original articles, at MitchelPs suggestion, provided that the fight should occur within two miles of the city of Jacksonville The club wished to change this clause so as to have it read that the fight should occur within the state of Florida"
 When the situation of affairs was ex- plained to Mitchell and he was asked to affix his name to the amended articles of agreement, he fatly refused to sign. He sad that he would never put his name to the paper unless the site for the contest was definitely fixed

HeLpfuI Hints.

When buying lamp, choose a broad and heavy base not easily upset.
 Oilcloth when soiled should be washed with soft cloth in lukewarm water, without soap, but it should never be scrubbed.
 If before making the mornings coffee the berries are heated for five minutes till they take on darker shade of brown, the flavor is improved.
 A good way to test ham is to stick Q knife under the bone. If the knife comes out clean and with sweet smell, the ham is pure and wholesome. If not, not.
 If the extension table does not slip cas- fly, when adding or taking out leaves, rub little parafin on the joints and see how it will be improved.
 A piece of chamois skin cut to fit the inside of the shoe will not only prove very comfortable in cold weather and to tender feet, but it will save the stockings from wear.
 Grape may be renewed by passing it over the steam from boiling kettle.

WhyPeOple ShOuldFa
 FACTS.

When we hear solid, respectable men say that the '.hard times are brought about by the Democrats we always think how helpless we are in the hands of prejudice. It is question which plays the most i'm portant part in the world, TRUTH or PREJUDICE. We inherit prejudice as
 we do disease, and it takes us all our life to eridicate it from our anatomy. Bible scholars told us long before Cleveland,
 Mckinley, Kelly or Wells were born that these hard times were coming, and that THE PRESENT is the appointed time
 That this ago Is to go out in trouble, un- equaled in the annals of time; that there shall be great tribulation, such as there has not been since the beginning of time
 No, nor never shall be. That these shall be. That these shall be perilous times; men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boosters, proud, blasphemers, unholy, lovers of pleasure, without natural affection; there shall be gnashlng of teeth
 evil shall go forth from nation to nation
 etc, etc. Now, we might as we'll take our medicine quietly and face facts. We con gratulate the people on the fact that very kind benevolent spirit prevails in this community, and how much worse off we would be if the cholera visited us. We all feel now that the financial cyclone is shak- ing the dust of Waterbury from its feet and after our inventories are taken prosperity will once more push the wheels of indus
 try into their usual activity, and our peo- pie will be seen on the streets smiling and wonder what hit them. In the mean time we are going to turn the property on East Main street into a House Furnishing Establishment that Waterbury will be proud of, and as We have more land than we need we will sell portion of it to the right man. It is funny. but we notice that when the sun Is up it loves to finger in that spot, so that the sunlight of prosperity Is there ahead of us. What happy thought ,..Who will be our lucky neighbor? Then again, there Is the church property close by which is always admired for its cleanliness, its elegant, spacious sidewalk; inside the handsome curbing is natures green carpet, always pleasing and inviting in appearance. The sun may have its dark spot, but we cans see any around there: it is daylight everywhere, and the Waterbury Furniture Company loves the light. We have a magnificent stock to dispose of, and whoever has any money had better take advantage of our Removal Sale, which is going on now. A walk through our warerooms will show fine line Carpets. | Stoves, Furniture, Crockery, etc. WISH EVERYBODY A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

A word About perfumes.

Good Housekeeping says if a scent is required to neutralize what are known as ''shop smells,'' use orris root in pref erence to anything else. Or, if you like it, bergamont or sandalwood. Deodor- ized alcohol, with a teaspoonful of scent to pint, used as spray, will leave the clothing redolent of neatness.
 And forthe skin, is there anything more aromatic and agreeable than a handful of lavender water?

Total amount of appropriations .S26I ,275
 The payment of interest. redemption of bonds and temporary loans exhausts $61, ,425 of the total amount appropriated. This will leave about $200 900 with which to meet the current expenses of the city. It Will require constant care and watchfulness on our part and the practice of rigid economy in every department to prevent the exceeding of thes z appropriations.
 How to raise more revenue for the city without imposing additional burdens upon the taxpayers or increasing the municipal debt is Q problem that confronts us In eon- nection with this, your attention Is called to the fact that the city receives no revenue from liquor licenses. Last year the net rev. enue theretrom to the town was $62 800 Over $60 900 of this amount came from sa- looms doing business within the city. Are tho taxpayer of this city aware ot the great injustice that has been and is being do le them by having all of this great income go into the town treasury2
 Suppose that the $60 900 that came from licenses to do business Tn the city went into the city treasury; what would the result have been2 It would have lowered the city tax rate mills. Of course there would be a de. felt to the extent of $60 900 in the towns in- come and the town tax rate would have to be increased mills to raise 1t. The result to the city taxpay e- Is. that his town tax rate is increased mills and his city tax rate lowered mills, saving to him of l mill tax.
 The residents ol the town living outside of the city limits contribute an ineouttablv small share to the support of local govern ment. The grand list of the town for 1892 was larger than that of the city by S1 SIT. .l96 :; and the tax on this sun, at mills, amounted to $6 ,655. 96, which represents only a trifle more than one-thlrd of the cost of maintain ing the town roads last year. The Iibera revenue derived from liquor licenses, which is paid into the town treasury, nearly all comes from within the city limits, and the income from this source alones will, with normal growth of population, ln few years be sufficient, If the present license conditions continue, to cover ell the ordinary town ex. penses. thus rendering 1t unnecessary to levy any town tax whatever. Of the town and municipal expenditures last year, the

Ire use of electricity has become so gen. eral and is of so great value that no one would advise It's aholishment The public, how ever, have right to demand that it be so used that the danger of life and property by accidental contact, or otherwise, be lessened as much as possible. During the past ten years thousands of telegraph, telephone and electric light poles have been raised within our city. Sidewalks have been broken in to md occupied, gutters obstructed and the streets made unsightly by thess poles and the myriads of wires strung on the same. Not one cent of revenue comes to rha city for this valuable privilege.
 In some states the law permits cities to pass ordinances regulating the construction md maintenance of telegraph and other elec- 5ric lines in. through and over its streets and to exact a license fec for the maintaining of such poles.
 Our main streets are occupied by net work of poles and wires that are menance to life and property and a great hindrarce to the fire department in its fire service.
 I recommend that remedy be sought through legislative enacm sat to the eff it that this city shall have power to regulate and supervise thIs work and cause all wires conducting electricity to be placed under ground when the same is deemed necessary.
 UNION STATION AND GRADE CROSSINGS.

5000 people residing beyond the city line paid not more than 4 or 5 per cent. According to the quadrennial report, con- cerning local finances, recently issued by the comptroller, the tax rate of no town in Con- necticut was so low as that which obtains In Waterbury this year. The rate in only 2S of the 16S towns of the state was below 10 mills, while the average rate exceeded 12 mills. The result of Waterbury's abnormally small town tax will tend to cause our industries and our citizens to seek locations and homes outside the municipal limits where, while sub stantially escaping taxation, they will reap many of the benefits ofthe city.
 I respectively submit that the interests of justice demand legislative readjustment Ct the existing tax relations between town and city.
