we recommend and ask all organized labor
and those In sympathy with honest labor
and goods made under healthy and fair
conditions to patronize those dealers that
recognize fair, healthy and union made
clothing.
"Resolved that in Central Labor union
assembled, we would request organized
labor and those in sympathy with it to re-
fuse to recognize scab goods, made under
the most unfavorable conditions to labor
that is occasionally brought to our city and
advertised as "fre sales" one of which
the committee finds doing business on
Bank street. Be it further
Resolved, that each delegate bring this
matter before his respective union and
keep the question of union made goods be-
fore his union, and be it further
Resolved, that the committee ascertain
from time to time the names of the mer-
chants handling union label goods and
have such names placed on the directory
which is on the walls of Labor hall so that
the members may see where to patronize
union label goods"

CoNRoY's CONDITION.
The Disease Is at Its Height but the
Patient Is Plucky and Says He Will
Eirhf Down.

The Disease Is at Its Height but the
Patient Is Plucky and Says He Will
Fight 1t Down.
Peter Conroy, the smallpox patient, IS
in about the same condition as yesterday
The disease has developed rapidly and
now is at its height. The patient Is
pluckv, however and is determined to fight
it down. He is thankful to the many
friends who have asked for him. None OF
the other members of the family show any
symptoms of the disease, but may do SO
within ten days.
The three watchers still maintain strict
guard over the quarantined house. The
Datient will have to remain in quarantine
at least forty days, and it may be longer.
There is now scarcely any fear of the dis
ease spreading outside of the guarded house.
Unless the disease should spread it will
not be necessary to use the pest house.
The honse is an old rookery, damp and
foul-smelling. People would be justified
| in fighting against the removal of then
friends to such place.
DR. O'Hara town health officer, notified
the selectmen not to allow smallpox patients
taken to the pest house. Owing to Its
proximity to the almshouse the doctor con
sidered it dangerous to care for smallpox
cases there. County Health Officer Hoad
| lev came from New haven lO-uty " l'tht 1
hand in the matter and it is probable the
pest house will be condemned.
The following is from tie January bulle
tin of the state board of health:
The true policy in all cases of an out
break of smallpox is to announce the fac
at once as publicly as possible, and STATE
what is being done to prevent its spread
This will give confidence to the people an(
largely remove their fears. The opposite
policy of concealment always fails-be
cause it is next to impossible, and ever.
fact that is known is greatly eXaggerate,
and made as terrifying as possible. Health
officers should take the people into thei
confidence and always tell the whole truth
Only by that course can they be trustee
and allay public apprehension"
Last evenings Winsted Citizen said:
Peter Conroy is sick with smallpox il
Waterbury. and now the crazy theory i
advanced that the man got his case o
smallpox from letter received from an in
fected house in Winsted. As each in
fected house had II policeman stationed il
front of it night and day and no commu
nlcation was allowed, either by letter or i
any other way the story that this man Sc
his disease by letter from Winsted is
very thin one"

May Has DisapDeared.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 20-Since the en-
counter between Colonel Cody and Fred
May at Cham berlln's last Friday night va
rious reports have been circulated here to
the effect that a duel was likely to follow
Some persons have even gone so far as to
say that they knew that a challenge had
passed The general impression seems to
be that there is little foundation for such a
rumOr.
Colonel Cody left Washington on Sun
day night, it is said by some of his friends
at Chamberliu's, for California. He in
tended to started on Saturday night and
had engaged transportation for that night
He met some old friends in this city who
prevailed upon him to delay his departure
until Sunday night.
In the meantime he had the trouble with
Fred May. None of the parties interested
seems disposed to agitate the matter any
further. They are all said to be heartily
sorry that so much publicity has been
given to the affair. Fred May has not
been seen at Chamberlin's since the occur

FRIEpRICHSRUHE. Feb 20 - Emperor
William arrived here to visit Prince Bis
marck. The meeting between his majesty
and the veteran tX-Chancellur was very Cor
dial. Shortly before tue H-"ival of the EN-
peror's train Prince Bismarck, accompa-
MED by his physician, d.. Schweiningep,
and his favnrite dog Tiras, walked to the
station and made IL careful inspection of
the preparations for IL Q reception of the
imperial visitor The prince walked with
light and elastic step, and for a man of
his years he looked remark IDLY fresh and
well. A great crowd was assembled along
the route, thousands of visitors having ar
rived from Hamburg and the towns near
Friedrichsruhe, and the prince was most
Justify cheered
The imperial train consisted of seven
luxurious coaches and two engines. 1t ar
rived promptly on the time scheduled
Prince Bismarck waited upon the carpeted
platform until the emperor alighted and
then advanced, helmet in hand, to receive
his sovereign. AS the emperor and prince
embraced each other 'hochs" rent the air
and there was frantic waving of hats and
the widest enthusiasm.
The crowd invaded the Gordon of gen.
darmes, ana order was preserved with the
greatest difficulty. The emperor congIatu-
lated Prince Bismarck on his hearty ap-
pearance and then introduced the prince to
his suite. The emperor also shook hands
with DR.. Schweininger and Secretary
Chrysander. On the way to the princes
residence the party received a continuous
ovation.
The dinner to his majesty was in private.
Only l2 covers were laid Neither Count
Herbert nor William Bismarck was pres

THE CODY-MAY DIFFICULTY
The Quarrel Alleged to Have Started In
London Concerning an American Girl,
Who Appealed to Colonel Cody to Rid
Her of Mays Attentions.

ST. PAUL, Feb. GA great deal of ex-
element was caused here by the announce
ment that Colonel w. +. Cody had tele
graphed to a friend in St. Paul asking him
to act his second in il duel with Fred
May. The friend sent this dispatch in re
ply:
l am yours to command on all occasions, at
any place and dime and under any circum-
stances.
Frank Powell, mayor of La Crosse, who
has for the last 20 years been a warm friend
of Colonel Cody, said that there would Ger
tainly be a duel if May could be coaNed to-
fight Mayor Powell said:
The trouble is not over an actress, but
over an American girl who was visiting in
London when both Colonel Cody and May
were there. This girl, whose name is WITH
held because of the notoriety its publica-
ton would bring her, went to Colonel
Cody one afternoon and told him that May
was paying her attentions, but that his at
tentions were not those of an American.
Trouble Over Girl.
This was in 1887. Colonel Cody agreed
to see May and get him to stop visiting the
girl. A few days later May and Colonel
Cody were present at the same banquet.
and Colonel Cody calmly stated to May
that he ought as Il gentleman to discon-
tinue his offensive attentions to the young
lady
May grew red in the face and wanted to
fight then and there. There was no blood
shed because of the interference of others,
but May kept up his visits to the American
girl, who came to Colonel Cody one after
noon crying and said May was becoming
SO offensive that she could no longer bear
him. AT this Colonel Cody wrote May the
following letter:
81 will whip you on sight
The men had not met in nearly seven
years, but Colonel Cody started in to keep
his word, and he would have succeeded if
the people present in the Washington res
taurant had not got between the belliger-
ents.
1.-THE girl over whom the trouble occurred
is good American girl, in whom Colonel
Cody had no other interest than that of a
friend "
