MAN IN THE CLOSET

Two Y6tiAE EEdIc& Residing on Union
 Street Have an Exciting Experience.
 The good old custom of looking under the bed and examining the clothes closets before retiring. which has become obsolete of late years, is likely to be revived, in Waterbury at least.
 Last night when Miss Margaret Campion, who boards at the residence of James Courtney, 90 Union street. went into her room she thought she heard footsteps moving on the carpet and called oae of the Misses Courtney from an ad- joining apartment. The girls thought they could hear someone breathe. but still no one could be seen. Finally one of them took hold of the knob of the clothes closet, but the door was held fast by some one on the inside.
 The girls became excited and ran to the top of the stairs and called Patrick Court ney from the parlor. Mir Courtney went up stairs and the closet was forced open and there stood man hiding behind the girls clothlng. When asked what he wanted there be declared he meant no harm and said he got in there by mis- take. The fellow was watching for an opportunity to make his escape and while some of the other occupants were being summoned, he bounded out and made a rush for the stairs. Here MT Courtney clinched with the intruder. both rolling over on the floor. but the fellow managed to break away. leaving his collar and necktie in the grip of young Court ney.
 The fellow dashed down the stairs and out through the door before anyone could get good look at him. He must have been acquainted with the place. for he never made false move from the time he got out of the closet until he found the main exit and disappeared into the night The whole family were pretty we'll scared over the matter, and not one in the house has the least idea who the intruder could have been

to all such people we think we can be of service. We justly claim the honor Of being the first to recognize that people who were not of the ordinary build should get as good a fit as those who are, and since we have been in business we have made it point to carry in stock more suits that are made to fit the out sizes, known as slims, stouts and extra sizes, than any two houses in the city. Those people who had to put up with alterations, saw and appre- ciated our efforts, and to day if a big man or one who is hard to fit wants anything in the clothing line, he immediately thinks of us. and also brings his friends.
