 Night-To-night's Trolley Meeting.

brSaAo ioIl lHS sTlFSt Iihue Lust Night-To-night's Trolley Meeting. I "BEyano,''e under thee direction of Morgan Cooley and H. lN,Cunnfn ghanl was given at%the tow q nall last night. | This is a three-act comedy, and does not pertain to the democratic aspl- ant for president, as thought by many. The boys, considering the difficulties that they were subject to, did very well. Tine singing was also very good. | Owinga to the inclemency of the weather, the attendance was not large and those who had reserved seat tick cts for last night and did not use them may use them tonight. To-night's Meeting. The meeting of the citizens of the town of WatertoWn tonight for the purpose of determiEt-g whether we think it best to allow the trolley con- pany to lay their tracks along our telford road, promises to be an inter- eSting one. This meeting ought to draw out large attendance, as it is of interest to everyone. Those who have teams and drive to Waterbury several times q week will vote against the coming of the trolley, while, on the other hand. those without teams. will favor it's coming. X good many stor- ies have been atioat of late as to where the tracks would be laid if they came to NatertOwn, but tonight will decide all. Come, everybody and have your say.
 Molly Donanue"
 R. N. Deland. theatrical manager for the societies hero has just writ ten d new threc-act comedy entitled Molly Donahuc," which will prove very funny. This play came entirely from the pen of Mir Deland. and every body wishes him success with this his first attempt. This play will be given some time in February.
 Notes
 Eugene Purdy has severed his con nection with the American Ring com pany in Waterbury.
 The republicans will have q big time tomorrow evening, when Orvillc A.. Platt, United States senator, addresses the people here. Other speakers will also be present.
 Don't forget the meeting of the K. of |. tomorrow even1n@. Now that Watertown is rid of it's sa- loon resorts. and houses of i'll fame. the people are wondering who the or lSIEdtCFS Ol tLc pldu are. Although the men did not come here without being sent for, very TeW know who sent for them.
 It has been reported that the board ing house under the hill will be oc- cupied by a new management. Wilson Lindsay has recently com pleted a small addition to his house on the East side.
 When are the grounds about the school house to be graded? Something should be done with the grounds in the spring.
 Edward Bartlett has severed his connection as clerk at F. N. Barton's grocery store

sion of the Colorado Childrens Home Society. He

Home Society devotes itself to the of orphans

Instead of herding the children in instit utions
the society aims to place all of its children in ap

SOLITUDE

Majestic realm, o Solitude!
Where silence reigns supreme.
There fancy sings her interlude
And poets fondly dream.
Bsguil'd with thee the phantom hours
Like silent shadows go,
And slumb'rlng meath thy leafy bow'rs,
The Soul forgets its woe
I love the magic Of thy spell,
o, dreamy solitude!
fain with thee for aye would dwell
In mystic quietude.
With thee, far worlds my wits explore,
In their unfettered flight,
And lift the veil of hidden lore,
To free it's garnered light
On winged Fancy Spirit scars
Beyond the cloud-feckepd skies,
Nor halts until the Golden Doors
Above it Glorifes.
o, when the Soul of Solitude
Unrolls its wondrous scroll,
No vulgar visions dare intrude
To mar the sacred roll.
IT'S then the flowers of the mind
In tho't their blossoms blow,
And all their fragrance unconfned,
The bliss of life shall know.

CURIOUS LACE TREE,
One of the Many MarveIs of Little
Porto Rico.

niSo.
From the Philadelphia Record
Some exquisite lamp shades. napkins and
center pieces have come from our dear little
Porto Rico this winter. They are made
from the inner part of the lace tree; to be
more explicit, from lace-ike fiber, which
grows beneath the bark. The outside of
this curious tree very much resembles the
white and mottled mistIetoe boughs one
sees exposed for sale during the holidays
but the inside of the younger limbs and
branches is a mass of the lace fiber, some
times pure white in color, and again yellow
tending to brown. Though the lace tree is
apparently very hard wood, the interior
fiber may be unwrapped in Sheets which
the Porto Rican ladies convert into drawn
work or embroider in bright colors.
Whips are made of the branches, a part
of the branch being left for the stock and
the fiber lace dra Nn out to form u topknot
rosette. A long lash is plated at the other
end.
The manufactured lace fiber is very eX
pensivc, but nothing can be more beautiful
than the effect of light through the lamp
shades. The cocoanut palm grows sheets
of fiber on the outside. so that it looks as
If il is tied up in old mats, but the lace tree
grows its delicate textile hbers inside, with
vast improvements in texture and color.
The women of Porto Rico do beautiful
decorative work with this natural lace. the
net of the fiber being so fine that itsfendS it
self to the most delicate designs. 1t is dyed
the brightest hues andc made into flowers
which are applied to the lamp shades of

moths and butterflies The large freely of
the tropics is exquisitely simulated. On the
conterpieces for table adcrnment, the Span
ish rose is frequently. initiated. This rose
is white in the morning. pink lat noon and a
deep crimson at night, hence there are
three roses to go with the centerpieces and
these are daintily attached by means Of
minute fibers to correspond with the hour
of the day Each color of the rose has a
meaning The white rose signifies that the
daughters of the house are too young to
think of marriage; theepink rose that they
are society debutantess and the red rose
that they are married. 10
When a young man visits house he finds
the father and mother seated together at
the head of the room, with chairs alongside
the walls wherein the guests are requested
to place themselves. The guests talk to the
persons nearest them. The chairs next TO
the parents are seats Of honor and usually
a fayorite sutton will have one of the
daughters of the house on his other side.
Servants hand around trays with chocolate,
wine and cakes. On each tray is an ex-
ouisite napkin made from the lace of the
lace tree.
