DEATH OF E. R. DAVIS.
Conducted the Laundry Business
 Waterbury for Fifteen Years

. Evan Rowland Davis, proprietor of the B. k. Davis & Co.'S laundry on canal street, died at 3:3O o'clock this morning at his home, 51 Field street. aIter an illness of two weeks M1. Davls had been confined to the house since year ago last August until about the first of the present month suffering from inflammation of the knee cap. When he got able to call at the office his friends who had been Tn the habit of meeting him on the way to and from his place of business and had missed him for so many months, wanted to know what was the matter with him and why he carried cane, 10 all such questions he invariably re- piled that he did not know. The olalv explanation he could give for the sorts- ness in his knee was that 1t came on. gradually and without any known cause and finally became so serious that he was finally obliged to remain at. home But it looked as though the worst was over and Mr. Davis start. ed experimenting his business again and commenced to call there un- tila couple of weeks ago, when he was fpVced to give up, Even then hls cora-| ditfon was not considered damgerous until last Sunday, when heart trouble set in and since that time he kept sink. ing until the end came Mr. Davis was born in Middletown fifty three years ago, but resided in. Waterbury for the past seventeen years, when hs came here and entered the laundry business with MT. Johnson, who kept in the Lawlor building, where MT. Fin negan now. conducts a cigar store. After the retirement Of Mir. Johnson. Mr. Davis conducted the business alone and made a success of it. From very modest beginning. it kept growing, on- til at the present time the plant IS equipped with all modern machinery and demands the attenllOn of thirty three employees. MT. Davis was a tire less worker and never felt happier than when himself and his help had all the business they could swing into. He was kind hearted, good -natured man who always looked oh the bright side of life and no matter how severe condemnations others might indulge in regarding the conduct of their fellow
 men, he never was known to join ifa them. He could listen without taking sides but if he happened to break si- lence when discussions of this kind were on, he managed to be able to see his way to sayHg, something which was calculated to dfsarm i'll feeling on the part of those abontN him. Besides his widow he leaves his mother, Mrs. Rachel Davis. and brother Judge Stephen B. Davis. both of whom TeSlds, in Afiddletown; also two sisters, MS, Alden Brooks of New York and AIfs<-' William MerBer of Brooklyn, N. He was q member of the u. R. K. F. and the Red Men.

THE BOYCOTT CASE
Some Doubt as to When It Will Come
 Up Again.

te -
 Attorney Bronson is still undecided whether or not to take the appeal of Joseph Sandiford from the jury verdict i5I the district court to the supreme court. As the last retired prosecuting attorney of the district it is considered his duty to do this work, but he holds that as he is no longer connected with the court, he cannot consistently be re- qGired to perform any function per taining to it. Sandiford was convicted of boycotting a contractor. He is the walking delegate of the Carpenters union or was at that time. The labor unions of the city are much interested in the matter. They are anxious to as- certain how far their rights as m or ganization can be insisted upon in the construction of any work. It is a point. that is obviously of great interest to every laborer, skilled and unskilled.

OIL f1Es the

It's curious to see the result.
Give it to the peevish, fret
full child, and he laughs. Give
it to the pale, anamic child,
and his face becomes rosy and
full of health. Take a flat
chested child, or a child that
has stopped growing, give him
the oil, and he will grow big
and strong like the rest.
This is not a new scheme.
1t has been done for years.
Of course you must use the

DANISH THE ANARCHISTS.

The attempted assassination
of President Vim. Mckinley "a
full and complete report OF which
will be found in the inside pages
of this paper) is deeply deplored
by every GOOD citizen of this
broad land, no matter OF what
politics. If there be a citizen
who does not denounce the vile
attempt of the assassin, he is
not a good citizen; not a citizen
worthy of the privileges OF our
constitution or the protection OF
our laws, and such should be-
take themselves hence and for
ever absent themselves from the
republic.
And there should be a recon-
structiOn of our laws that will
enable us to keep out the venom
Gus breed that would teach
anarchy and destruction OF law
and government. For too many
wears have the doors of our
country been thrown open to
that class of refuse of other ma
tiOns; that venal, uneducated,
unambitious class from which is
developed the dangerous as
sassin. Those ignorant, slovenly,
brutal offcourings have been
brought to this country by the
hundreds of thousands. by the
large corporations seeking the
cheapest of labor. They work
for practically nothing, and thus
displace American citizens. They
build no homes, establish no bus
mess, develop no new country;
are simply content to be handled
in droves by their leaders and to
revel in crime and rapine. We
refer to the Huns, Slavs, the
Italians and Poles, who are to be
found in railroad construction,
canal digging, and all the build
ing of large enterprises where
great capital is interested, and
where human rights, and
thought, human hopes and am
billions count for naught when
cheap labor is sought. From
that element springs the assassin,
the human brute, the law despi-
ser and the law-destroyer. They
never have any conception of the
magnificence of the United States
and her institutions, it's govern
mental principles and objects;
they are more dangerous than so
many vicious four-footed ami
mails, because they are pre- oected
by the laws they would over
throw, and you can't kill them
like you would a vicious mule.
1t is earnestly to be hoped that
the voracious commercialism
which has blinded many to the
evils that perforce must follow,
will be checked; and that our
government will look deeper into
the causes which led up to the
strong hold which the anarchistic
element seems to have secured in
our land.
Danish all anarchists, and put
to the sword all who would plot
TO destroy our free government.
