Is the Church Property on East Main street Detrimental to the Business Interests of the street.
the street.

It has always been the popular idea among business men that church Is injuri- ous to the growth of the business interest of the street on which 1t staLds.
 We believe this Is true to some extent, on the principle that every building that is closed six days a week has no attraction for anybody. But unlike other churches n the city. this particular church is always open; and people are coming and going from 1t all the time. from early morning, until late at night And It Is largely made of that portion of mankind who buy most of the goods for-woman-
 Women go to church oftener than the men; and We suppose this is why they have 90 much patience with them. We do not know why churches should be closed on week days; most of the sins are committed on those days, and this is why Christian influence ought to be at work at all hours.
 East Main street is the only street in the city where people can get married and then step in and furnish the house from cellar to attic, and take 8 car at the door and go to any part of the city. We expect to be ID our new quarters in a very few days, when we will show a line of goods such as has never been seen in city of this size. Waterbury will be headquarters for House Furnishing Goods for 20 miles around

FOUR STUDENTS DROWNED.
Harvard Young Men Lost Their Lives In
 Boston HarbOr,

BOSTON, May 16.-Edwin Stanton Bach of New York city, William Campbell Truesdell of Newark, x. J.; John Farnum Browne and Franklin Whitall of Philadel phia all students at Harvard college, were drowned in the upper harbor, near Thomp- sons island. The bodies of Browne and Bach have been recovered.
 The first intimation of the catastrophe was had when Superintendent Bradley o1 the farm school on Thompson's island picked up near the island two coats and a pair of oars. In the pockets Of one of the coats were letters addressed to Browne. In the pockets of the other coat were let. ters addressed to Truesdell. An investi gation quickly confirmed the misgivings raised by the story of Boatkeeper Hutchins at City Point. He said that late on Sun. day afternoon he let a catboat to fou1 young men about p years old, who told him they were to be gone but few hours,
 Inquiry at Cambidge elicited the infor- nation from Mrs. Wiley, a landlady with whom the young men last boarded, that they had told her Sunday afternoon that they were going on a boating trip. The fact that they did not return sooner occa- stoned the good woman no alarm, and she supposed that they had decided to take a more extended trip. Boatman Hutchins
 
 ing about the harbor for a number of hours the party sighted an upturned boat near the spot where the craft of the young men was last seen.
 When it had been partly righted, two bodies, which were afterward learned to be those of Browne and Bach, were found clinging to the mast. Each was locked in the arms of the other, and both had to be lifted into the smaller boat together.
 Truesdell was third year man in the law school. He was an exceptionally bright student and was graduated from Prince ton in 1890. Browne graduated from Hav- erford college, Philadelphia, last year and was a senior at Harvard. As he came to the college only last year, he was not gen erally known among the students. Bach was in the junior class, and his father, Sigmund Bach of the glass importing firm of Simon, Bach 6 Co.,, New York, is very wealthy and lives next door to the Van derbilts. Whitall was a graduate of liar yard college. last year and entered the sen- for class last fall to get the degree of A. B. from Harvard.
 PHILADELPHIA, May 16.-Franklin Whit all and John Farnum Browne of this city, the two Harvard students who were drowned on Sunday pear Boston, belonged to two of the most prominent families of this city. Mir. Browne was son of T. Wis tar Browne, who is a member of the firm of John Farnum & Co.,, cotton dealers at 235 Chestnut street Mr. Browne has a country residence at Villa Nova, near Bryn Mawr. John Farnum Browne grad uated at Haverford college last year. He was cousin of Countess Pappenheim, nee Wheeler, the daughter of Mrs. Charles Wheeler of the old family of that name.

Asking Questions of the Cuckoo

"In Denmark" said Augustus H. Schneider of San Antonio, Tex, at the Lindell, ''when the voice of the cuckoo is heard in the woods in the springtime every girl and boy kiss their hands and ask, When, cuckoo, when shall l be married?' The old folks, wearied with disease and age, inquire, Cuckoo, cuckoo, when shall l be released from this worlds carer And the bird con- tinues to sing cuckoo as many times as years will elapse before the objects of these desires come to pass. And as some old people live to become advanced in years, and many of the girls die old maids, and the boys find bachelors graves, the poor cuckoo has so much to do in answering the questions put to her that she has no time to make her nest, but lays her eggs in that of the hedge sparrow or the linnet that mGke the same territory their home.

TheLaneuaee of Animals.

It used to be told in the fairy tales that tho hero could hear the grass grow and speak with the animals. In reality it is not likely thatwe shall ever develop the sense of hearing sufficiently to hear the grass grow, but it is quite likely that we shall be able to converse with the beasts of the field But do the beasts have language? He would be bold in deed who would deny it point blank. We observe all around us too many in dications of conscious communication between them to have a right to say mo absolutely To be sure, some animals are silent, totally, it seems. But may they not convey their thoughts in some way-for instance, as the deaf mutes doi Or may they not use a secret language one like that of lovers, employing Ges lures and looks? When we speak of Ian guage in this connection, it must be un. derstood that we do not mean articulate speech. We take the word in it's broad est sense as an expression for the means of mental communication existing be- tween one creature and another. .-COpen hagen Family Journal.
