To find the best coffee in this
country a woman needs only two
qualities. She can use a dozen, but
she can do it on only two. They
are Intelligence and Courage.
Ten women have intelligence
and no courage where one has
courage and no intelligence. Cour-
age is really what the average
woman needs if she wants coffee
way up in G.
Now it doesn't require much
courage to buy a pound of Chase
& Sanborn's High Grade Coffee
if you set about it right. The
grocer will give it to you in a
parchment-lincd bag with our seal
and signature attesting its high
quality. You have really only to
drink it.
Even here you run no risk.
The man who ate the first oyster
took terrible chances. But the
only chance you will take is the
probability that never again will
you be willing to drink any other
kind of coffee.
Even then, you will thank us.
Ask your grocer for a pound of
this coffee to-day.

Perfecting Plans for Their January
 EXhibit-PriZes Will be Given.
 Another large and enthusiastic meet ing of the Naugatuck Valley Poultry association was held last evening. h. dicationS point that on January s, 9 and 10, the largest poultry exhibit ever held in the state will be given. The association is in receipt of many liberal prizes and gifts of money from the various merchants to help make the project Il .uccess. Members were pres ent from many of the suburban towns also Bristol and New Haven. Five new members were admitted into the association. The Brass City Hom- ing Pigeon association has accepted the Invitation to exhibit the five or six hundred carrier pigeons and fancy birds owned and controlled by the as Sociation. This exhibit will make quite an interesting feature of the poultry show. A. F. Pierce of Win chester. N. H., has been added to the list of judges and his experience will The association will furnish all pens for the exhibitors at cost price and ali pens will be Of the same dimensions
 with tl.c possible exception of those for the BantamS. Ore large aisle of pens will be constructed along tho center of the hall with other aisles branching from the same. The stage will be decorated and reserved for. the exhibits of baI.tams. Belgium hares and other fur bearing pets.

The association invites all those owning pet cats to exhibit the same and liberal prizes will be offer ed for the most praiseworthy ones. This contest is open to any man or woman in Waterbury or surrounding districts. The book containing the list of prizes will be issued to the press and public. about December |.

STAFF APPOINTMENTS.
Many Applicants Will Be On D"ck- Colonel BurDee Said to Be One.


 Advices state, says the New Hnrrli Register that the New Haven coun- ty candidates for positions on the stan of Governor elect Mclean arc too numerous to mention. They would make small army. New Haven city itself is not at all behind in the pur- suit of the honors.
 It is said that General Henry S. Peck would like his old place of com missary general. He was on Govern or Cotfin's staff and the position was cOngenial to him.
 Another New Havener credited with a desire to serve on the governors staff is Colonel Simeon J. Fox. He served for several years as assistant adjutant general and it is reported that he would like to serve in the same capacity throughout the two years term to which Mclean has been elect ed. furthermore it is whispered around that one or two of the New Ha- ven cOlonelS at present on the staff of Governor Lounsbury, would like to continue in office for two years longer. Colonel Ulman, it is said, might be in duced to act as aide to Governor Me Lean. Colonel Lowe is credited with q disposition to be accommodating in the event of Governor McLean's re- questing him to retain the colOnelcy.
 Colonel Lowe was an earnest sup porter of Mclean in the stupendous factional fight of the summer, but Colonel Ullman was the other way. However, in these times when there is such q crying demand for harmony bygones will not likely be introduced to determine a mans availability for official honorS.
 Colonel Burpee of Waterbury is be- ing pushed forward with a great deal of strength and persistence for the adjutant generalship. He too, was against Mclean in the factiOnal con- tiict but it is asserted that his case will receive fair treatment notWith- standing.
 All these New Haven county men can't be appointed and it will be in teresting to see the conclusion of their candidates.
 Goyernor-elect Mclean has gone away from home to be gone two weeks. Only few intimate friends know where he is. Perhaps he wishes for awhile to be away from the army of officer seekers.

Edmund Lawrence, aged 15 years, was shown in the. city court this morn ing to be the acme of incorrigibility with which he was charged. Edmund was q striking illustra ton of the old saw that it is not always advisable to judge book by its covers, for while he looked to be quite an intelligent lad, he could neither read nor write, and, i'll fact, he knew very. little about the a, b, c. The boys father testified that he had been six years attending the French school in this city and for two years he had been a pupil of the Clay street school, which he left a year and half ago as wise as when he entered it: The boy is incorrigible in that he will neither stay at work nsr stay at home nights. He was committed to the State School for Boys.
 Thomas Whalen of East Main street was charged with assaulting a small boy named Samuel Berrman on Mea- dow street yesterday. The accused is employed by his brother as a peddler of fruit and it appeared that he has been greatly annoyed by small boys committing petty thefts from his fruit baskets. He was found not guilty.

ECuMENlCAu CONFERENCE,

Great Gathering of Christian Foreign
Missionaries Now in Session.
NEW YORK, April 23.-With IN ex-
president Of the United States, Benja-
min Harrison, to bid them welcome
there are gathered in Carnegie hall
more than 1900 missionaries from al
most every quarter Of the globe. For
10 years preparations have been under
way for this meeting, known as the
Ecumenical conference on foreign mis-
sions. It is the third of it's kind ever
held. Every branch of the Christian
church is represented except the Roman
Catholic, the Gqpek, and that branch of
Of the Anglican church known as the
Society for the Propagation of the
Gospel.
The foreign missionary work of the
world is conducted by seven great So
cieties. They are the Christian Mis-
sionary society, which represents the
Evangelical party in the Church. Of
England and is almost as large as
the other six together; the
Society for the Propagation OF
o>AS NO0PCAs representing WIG N@VAAOAA>
party in the Church of England, and
which declined to attend the confer
ence; the London Missionary society Of
the Congregational church; the Ameri-
can Board of Foreign Missions, also Of
the Congregational church; the <Presby-
terrain Board Of Foreign Missions, the
Missionary Society Of the Methodist
Episcopal church, and the American
Baptist Missionary union. T.
The Protestant foreign missionary
societies Of the world spend about
$15, 900, 900 q year to advance their
work, exclusive of the money expended
on missions in England and America.
Every cent Of this vast sum is used to
convert nom Christians to Christianity.
This great work was first started in the
close of the eighteenth century and the
beginning Of the nineteenth. The con-
ference now in session is held at the
close Of this century as a fitting time
and to make way for the great work of
the century about to dawn.
