TALK No. 10.


Every time I walk down the
street 1 see people with crooked
glasses. Some are looking through
the top of one glass and the bot
tom of the other. Some are looking
through one glass straight enough,
but entirely below the other glass.
To one who understands the eff
fects of lenses it seems a miracle
that any person can wear glasses
in this way a single day without
running their eyes. The strain Is
certainly tremendous. 1t is just as
important that the lenses be, placed
in correct position as that they
should be of the proper strength
and focus. They must not be too
high, too low orrtoo wide The eyes
should look exactly through the
centers If your glasses are bent
or crooked. will straighten them
for you at any time. No matter
whether you bought them of me
or not. bring them in as often as
you like. If you form the habit of
coming here for that kind of work
/ hope YOU will some day become
one of my regular customers. At
any rate / will do it willingly.
Ny exclusive attention is given to
fitting glasses.

A Big Hearted and JoVlal Man and
 Was Well Liked.
 Alexander McRobb died yesterday at the Waterbury hospital after an ill- ness of five weeks with typhoid fever His condition has been critical for the past couple of weeks and those who were near him had little hope of his recovery, but his many friends on the outside thought that inasmuch as he was holding out so long he would final ly triumph over the malady and be with them again. But in this they were disappointed and at i o'clock yes terday afternoon he brea thed his last Besides his widow. formerly Miss Ma tilda DreScher. one child, fourteen months old baby girl, survives him. The body was removed to the family residence on Maple street. from where the funeral will take place Wednesday afternoon at ? o'clock, with service by the Rev Dr Anderson of the First Con- gregational church. The interment will be in Riverside cemetery. preceded by Masonic services at the Hall Mem orial chapel. He was a member, of the Waterbury Burns club. holding the office of president at the time of his death: Nosahogan lodge. l. o. o. F.. and of Harmony lodge F. and A. NJ.
 Mr McRobb was born in the parish of Marnach, Banffshire. Scotland, thir- ty-two years ago, and came to the United States in 1888. He worked . short time in Thomaston, after which he came to Waterbury to accept a posi- tion with the Waterbury Clock Co, and resided here ever since. He was em- ployed for year or so as engineer on the Waterbury American and for the past four years held the position of presslnan on the Waterbury Republi- can. He was an honest. industrious citizen and was well liked by all who had the pleasure of an acquaintance with him. In many respects Mir Me Robb might be termed a serious fellow but all the same he was brimful of na tive humor and good fellowship, which rendered him general favorite wher ever he went. He was extremely pop ular with his society friends and espe cially among the members of the Wa terbury Burns club. in whose compan ipnship he spent many cheerful hours and by whom he will be missed more than any place else except in his oWI home and among many relatives anC friends who still finger around the ole homestead in bonnie Scotland.

that great generals have great hearts:
Correspondence has been exchanged
between Lord Roberts and the COM
