HER STEADY'S FOOL FRIENDS.

A young man in the south end of the city has a habit of calling on young woman. The habit has become So fixed that the young mans friends are
 accusing him Of being what in par lance of Lizzie and Chimmie is called steady" He has had his friends with him several times, and they have begun to make themselves quite too hum" The other evening they were passing the young lady's home and as the parlor was ablaZe with light, con- cluded that their friend was making q call and also concluded that they would play joke OH him. They opened the front door and entering the hallway, removed from the hall rack the young mans oyercOat. The young man finished his lingering and just before Il started for home. He dis covered his loss as soon as he entered the hallway, and jokingly accused the young lady of appropriating his coat for her brothers use, and then request ed her to get it as he was in a hurry to get home. The young lady pro- tested that she had not Seen the coat, but failed to convince him of the fact. He went home without it, determined to get even. Well. he got even, but in way for which he was sorry. The next night he called again and stayed but short time. When he left he took with him. the young lady's coat. She stayed iu the next day, also the day after. meanwhile searching the entire house for her coat, which didn't show up. When the joke had, in the opin- ion of the young mans friends, gone far enough, they returned the coat, and the young man also returned the coat, with profuse apologies. But the apol- ogies have not gone very far, and the young man is worrying. The question causing the worry is: What has be come of the watch which tho young faIy5 says was in the coat pocket?-- 1 Albany Journal =

The first official move towards the consolidation of the Waterbury city and town governments was made last evening. The board of aldermen at it's meeting appointed a committee to investigate and report on the advisa- bility of making the change. The com mittee is made up. of some of Water bury's ablest and most successful busl- ness men and attorneys, and there need be no fear but what they will look at the subject in every light. The question is an important one, and one that has been agitated more or less for a number of years. The doing away with the Center school district and placing school matters in the hands of the city government has been successful so far as appears on the surface, and in all probability the bringing of all matters pertaining to the city, town and schools under one head would so concentrate matters that after a trial there would be scarce ly any one who would wish to return to the present double headed govern ment. 1t is question that needs care ful consideration, however, and the gentlemen appointed will, we are sure, give it careful consideration.

CHARGED TO EXTRA EXPENSES.

Years ago Major Patterson was tray cling on the railroad through western Kansas, when he fell into conversation with q congenial St Louis man. who remarked that he had an excellent scheme for hiding his money. T sim ply put it under the sweatband of my hat he said, ''and no robber in the world would ever think of looking there for cash" With that Ae pulled off his hat and showed where ne had $25O planted" as he described. About an hour later the train was suddenly halted while it was turning a lonely ravine. and ina few moments a mask ed man entered the car and began to systematically loot the passengers, while two other robbers kept them covered with shotguns from the doors When the fellow reached him the ma ior looked up coolly and declared that he had less than q dollar in his pocket Now, if you'll leave me that and my watch,'' he said, I'll tell you some thing worth knowing: That fellow in the next seat has $250 under the sweatband of his hat"
 All right said the robber, s.keep your watch and chicken feed,' and he proceeded to confiscate the other passengers cash.
 When the agony was all over and the marauders had departed, the St Louis man turned around, bursting with rage and indignation. That was a dirty, 1ow-down trick" he roared, "and I'm going to hold you accounta- blesfor every cent of my moneyl,'
 'I expected you to, my friend'' re- piled the major, quietly '.and here is the amount.

VIEW OF WILHELMINNA.

The royal bride-designate-I de- SCribed her two years ago as she ap- peared to me ill the freshness and ela- ton of eighteen. She is a little like her mother and very like her father, whom she resembles in disposition. The cheeks are firm and nicely round cd. The neck is almost StatueSque, but rather sturdy for a statue. Her mouth is nice because of the bloom of youth, but the drawn-down corners are not indicative of smooth temper. The very well shaped chin expresses firmness of will. Strong volition is a prominent quality of Wilhelminna. It has some times hurried her into acting as a Miss Madam. Thus she refused to speak to some South African children present. ed to her who only knew French She promised to converse with them when they had learend Dutch. Imagine the modification of their mothers. Her masterful temper was often tried by her councillors and guardians during her minority. They would not allow her to cycle, and she felt like refusing to drive the beautiful phaeton and po- nles that were given her in compensa- tion for the bike. She is a firSt-rate whip. and a bold and graceful skater. In one respect she is unlike the late king of Netherlands. He was a melOmaniac. and she thinks music q bore. Perhaps Prince Henry, who could make q handsome living as a professional musician. will bring her round tQ like it. He has not been brought%up in the lap of luxury; far from it. l dare say music consoled him often for want of wealth. His future seems so different from his past. The palaces of the queen of the Netherlands are filled with pleasant and precious riches. Her pictures. DOT cclaiu, plate, old carved furniture hangings, are the assretion of three centuries Besides her civil list al lowance the young queen has the i'm menSe fortune of her uncle, Prince Henry of the Netherlands. He made will in favor of his wife-a sister of the Duchess of Connaught-but as it could not be found his fortune went to the late king of the Netherlands London Truth.

It is now practically admitted by re- puhlicans that the talk previous to the election of repeal of the war taxes was nothing more than q campaign bluff. A call for the ways and means committe of the house to meet on the 2Oth inst has been issued. The bill the committee will prepare will merely revise the war taXes-some campaign obligations are to be paid that way and will not repeal all of them. The republicans know very well that with the total appropriated by the last ses- sion of congress of $674, 100000 and the probability that a larger sum will be appropriated by the coming session, all or nearly all of the money pro- duced by the war taxes will be need ed. The bill prepared by the commit tee will probably reduce the war taxes in the interests of favored classes, something like $15, ,OOO,0O or $20, 0,000,000 q year, but the bulk of those taxes will have to be paid by the people for an indefinite period.

J. G. Johnson, chairman of the dem- ocratic national committee, is the poor est guasser in the lot. One week be fore the election he claimed 320 elec- toral votes for Bryan. 94 for Mckinley and 33 doubtful Charles A. Walsh the secretary of the committee, did not claim quite so much, as he placed Bryan's number at only 2o7, while he gave Mckinley i03, and 87 doubtful. These gentlemen must have been bad ly fooled, or they were trying to de- ceiye the democrats of the country into believing that Bryan had q walk over.
Waterbury Democrat., 1900-11-13

Statistciuns are ait work just now showing how and why Bryan lost. The majority of them try to show that the free silver plank of the platform was the cause of it, and to prove their claim point to the number of votes he lost in the, free silver states. The people in these states were probably disgustpd at the gingerly manner in which the free silver question was handled. They no doubt think it was not given prominence enough. It was sidetraclled to please the national com mittee and to make room for the issue which sent the democrats to defeat.
Waterbury Democrat., 1900-11-13

It is quite the vogue to throw stones at defeated candidates. Mir Bryan IS the most conspicuous target at pres ent Yet he is the type of public man which is usually the highest in popu- lar favor-honest .sineere, aggressive and holding positive opinions upon pub lie issues, with the courage to give eX- pression to them Nevertheless, he must be counted out of future presi- dential contests. save as an adviser. The popular sentiment against third terms extend to third nominations. MT Bryan recognized that fact before the election when he said that whether elected or defeated he would not run again. Bridgeport Farmer.
 How about Cleveland? Didn't he get three nominations? A great many people believe with the Farmer. how ever, that two is enough. Still, if W. J. Bryan is in good health and good spirits in 1904, there is no real good reason that can be discerned at pres ent why he can not again become the candidate of the democratic party. Per haps the third time will be the lucky one for both Bryan and the country It is. rather early to talk about it just now, however.

Wall Street, Sept. 17.--After the weak
closing Saturday noon the market was all
ready for further slump this morning
and IL got the same.
London was from a half TO full point
off before the hammer fell in the broad
room and the opening prices were slump
from Saturdays closing. But London's
figures were not reached, at that, and af-
ter the first few minutes of business there
was a steadying OF the list and a grad
ual recovery. On the recovery the list
settled into dullness with fitful spurts and
an occasional little crack here and there.
But on the whole the recovery was held
well along into the afternoon.
Arbitrage support helped London prices
on the cut and this doubtless contributed
10 the steadying OF the list on this side
of the water. The Paris bourse was weak

reported from foreign markets were
heavy.
