SHOT THROUGH HEART
Dependency Causes a Young Man to

Dependency Causes Young Man to
 Take His Own Life.
 Fred Fleming. aged 16, committed suicide in his room B Welton street, about 1O.3O o'clock Saturday night, by shooting himself through the heart, with bullet from a 22 calibre revolver. The young man came here from England 8 short time ago and has worked on and of at ScovilTs He was gloomy and despon- dent at times and it is believed that it was while under the influence of one of those spells that he committed the deed. Major Ramon. Officer Healy and reporter cf the DEMOCRAT called at the house short 7 after the shooting. Everything was quiet and orderly about the place, so much so that one might pass the building without seeing or hearing anything unusual. Medi- cal Examiner Axtelle was summoned and after careful examination of the body decided that the boy had shot himself through the heart and gave Undertaken York permission to prepare the remains for burial. The young man boarded with his aunt, Mrs W. A. Littlehale and has a brother. Frank Fleming, who works in the Waterbury Brass mill. No ohe could assign any cause for the deed, but of course it is plain that he was not in his right mind. He fired a shot into the bed clothes in the morning and some of the people about the house said that they had heard several shots during the day. When the fatal shot was fired couple of the inmates rushed into the room and found the victim lying beside the bed. Death was almost instantaneous. The funeral will take place at 2 o'clock to- morrow afterhooD, with iLterment at Pine Grove cemetery.

mAlice Pierce's Future.

Alice Pierce, tho child actress of Little Lord Fauntlcroy' famo and more recently widely mentioned in the newspapers be- cause MT. Gerry prevented her from ap- bearing in the title role of the so called vii sion play "Hannelc'' in New York, is now 16 years of age. Recently tho celebrated farce comedy author, Charles H. Hoyt, saw Alice do some limitations of prominent ac- tresses in notable scenes. He at once en- gagged her for three years. Temporarily he has put her in "A Black Sheep' to do her speciality, but it is rumored that before next season he will have completed play in which there will be character suited to Alice's really remarkable ability. May Pierce, the actress and singer, who is AL ices mother, is constantly with her daugh- ter, and she it is who has developed the talent in the child by careful training.

Irish Devotion.

The history of the world presents no parallel to that which Ireland exhibits to- day. The world has undergone mighty changes during the last seven centuries, but Ireland remains unchanged. During all these years her history is the same, a continued series of wrong. outrage, misrule and oppression. Battling brayely, but never winning; struck down to the earth hundred times. but always rising again, weak and unaided, for seven hundred years, she has been fighting for her independence against a ration the most savage upon the earth. With scarcely an interval. there has been war and fighting between England and Ireland from the landing of Strongbow until the beginning of the present century. And 1t is not over yet. The Irish people entertain the same hatred of their oppres- sors, the same bright hopes of pardon, and are animated with the same spirit as their fathers, and are as willing to do battle for the old cause now as did their fathers on the arrival of the first invaders. This stubborn spirit of resistance, manifested on thousand battle-felds, must ultimately triumph. The Anglo-Ssxon cannot extin- guish fl. it is indestructible and cannot die. Compare with England. the land of the Anglo-Saxon, what a contrast does Ireland present. Glance at the history of England, and you will find that William, & French man. invaded England and conquered it in one day. One battle-the battle of Hast ings-decided her fall She fell, con- quered by the Frenchmen, and never had courage afterwards to strike one blow. The descendants of the Frenchmen. with host of the conquered Saxons, invaded Ireland a century later.
 They contemplated an easy conquest of the Island. and. presuming on their more perfect discipline. and being armed with spurious documsnt which they said they had receive d from Adrian the 4th, demand ed the surrender of the island. The Irish did not comply. They struck the con- querors of England on the face. This was the beginning of the seven hundred years was. The twelfth century saw it in- augurated--the nineteenth century has not seen it's close.
 Such obstinate perseverance as this no other country has ever shown. Such devo- ton to the cause of liberty and the right to rule themselves has never been equalled by any other people. W.

HILL AND PLATT MEET.
New YOrIx's Two Big Party Leaders ShoO

New YOrk's Two Big Party Leaders Shook
 Hands at the Seaside.
 NEW YORK, July 1.-Senator David B. Hill and ex-Senator Thomas c. Platt were the two star boarders at the Oriental ho- tel, Manhattan Beach, yesterday. Senator Hill, who has been spending a week at Normandie-by-the-Se was in the city Saturday looking after some private mat ters, and was detained until too late to catch the boat back, and so went down to Manhattan Beach to stay over Sunday. Ex-Senator Platt moved down to the Ori- ental Saturday night for the season.
 The veteran political warriors met on the veranda, shook hands and chatted a locked horns year after year for decade, and had every prospect of meeting again in the ring this fall.
 Just what they said is something that concerns themselves. Ex-Senator Platt may have joked Senator Hill about com ing down to Coney Island to get his beer, and Senator Hill may have retorted by asking MT. Platt if he was drinking tea with Mayor Strong just now.
 This is MT. Platt's fourteenth summer at the Oriental. Mr. Hill had not made Q visit there since 1888.
 Senator Hill found a double He went over to watch the bathers, and while sit ting in the grand stand was surprised to see himself in swimming. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. There he was, sure enough, or else his double. There were the same bald head, the same heavy mustache and short, closely cut side whiskcrs, and athletic, well knit form. While he was learning how he would look in a navy blue bathing suit one of the two men sitting near him nudgcd his companion with:
 ''There's Senator Dave Hill in bath ing"
 The other looked, and the two com mented on the senator with some freedom Pretty soon the first speaker turned around and caught a glimpse of Senator Hill. He looked hard, and then, with a Well, I'll be blankedP' relapscd into si- lencc.

CITY COURT CASES.
James Shannahan Heavily Fined For
 Assault on John Calvin.

James Shannahan Heavily Fined For
 Assault on John Calvin.
 City court presented the appearance of a hospital this morning, there were so many cut heads and black eyes in evidence.
 First came the case of James Shannahan charged with assault on John Calvin. The latter head was done up in bandages and his eyes looked as if they came in contact with battering ram. Shannahan was charged with two assaults, one on Friday and one on Saturday night when the war rant had been sworn out by Calvin for his arrest, for the Friday assault. Dr McDon- aid said he was called to attend Calvin Fri day. The cut on the back of the head was made by blunt instrument. It cut into the bone. The man was pretty well shook up and his brain was dazed from the blows be received. Calvin himself said that Shannahan had threatened to kill him on several occasions. He followed him on the street Friday and at the Washington avenue railroad crossing he struck him and knocked him on the track. Edward W. Davis who has charge,of the workmen on the railroad picked Calvin up and carried him home. Calvin was employed on the railroad and had been sent home that after noon for being drunk. Saturday night Shannahan followed Calvin into Kenny s saloon and struck him again. Calvin drew a knife to defend himself. Davis testified to seeing Shanna- han strike Calvin and thought he had killed him. Shannahan said that Calvin was continually insulting him. That Friday he called him names and struck him first. He did strike Calvin but the latter had hold of him when he did hut him Attorney Russell who assisted in the prosecution read the police record of Shannahan to the court and he scored Shannahan unmercifully. Judge Oowell fined him $50 and costs and four months in jail for one case and $25 and costs on another.
 The next case was that of Thomas Will ton aged 21 and and John Doran, aged IA, charged with assault. They live on River side park and the WiltoL's own a dog, The boys in the neIghborhood are accustomed to plague the dog Friday night young Wilton whipped Doran and blackened his eyes for striking the dog. Wilton was ar. rested and then Doran was arrested for throwing a stone and hitting young Wilton The latter was fined $5 and costs and judg- ment was suspended on Doran.
 Matthew Gamman, Michael Maloney and Lewis Norton were each fined $1 and costs for drunkenness. Mrs William Leonard was charged with assault on Barbara Edovich. Both live at 967 North Main street. It developed into a quarrel caused by children. Judge Oowell warned both women to quit their fighting or he would sen d them to the almshouse.
 The case of James Delaney was again adjourned until next Monday, as Attorney Webster had to leave for Hartford.

MACHINES MUST GO

The Government is Bound to Reduce
 Expenses i'm Waterbury.
 Postofices throughout the country which have been using stamp cancelling ma chimes. have been notified by the depart ment in Washington to quit the use of the machines, and employ clerks to cancel stamps by hand. Postmaster Fitzpatrick of the local office has not been using the machines, although he has made applica- ton for the same He expected that when the new office was opened. the ma chimes would be used. The reason of the orders from headquarters is the expense attached to the machines. The owners rent them and will not sell them, and the government must also pay for the electric ity to run them. A proposal was made for lower rental but was refused and the department forthwith ordered the machines stopped.
