One of the striking things shown by
the last census is the remarkable in
crease Of tenant farming. The per-
centage of farms operated by tenants
showed considerable increase by tn
census OF 1890. For the whole ccun-
try this percentage has increased in
the last ten years nearly twice as fast
as the per cent of population of the IA
ton, four times that of the purely
agricultural population and twice tn t
Of the farms operated by their owners.

Cornelius Tracy, of the firm of Tracy Brothers, carpenters and build CTS, has spent vast sums of money in beautIfying the place and after several years labor has got it into excellent condition Not the least ex- pensiye job incident to the improve ments was the erection of the big re- tainIng wall that runs along the street for several hundred feeb and reaches a. height of twenty-five or thirty feet. The masonry is eight feet in thickness and was built of stone unearthed in the grading of the lawn and gardens about the premises. English ivy winds its way from the foundation stone to the coping and gives the massive wall something of the appearance of the remnants of the huge iyied walls so common in all parts of the old world MT Tracy is now putting down a rustic fence at the west side of his residence and when the posts are set they will have for a back ground about 100 honeysuckles which in short time will cover the fence for it's en- tire length.

 A great deal of interest is centered around the Rev Father Downes. Ev- erybody appears to be anxious to hear him. Years ago Father Downes was a hustler for prominent New Haven newspaper and was considered one of the crack writers. in journalism in that city. The insight he got into life then stands him well now, for in hardly any other calling in life can so many diff ferent views of humanity be procured. Besides being a graduate of journal ism, he is also q member of the Knights of Columbus and one of the most pleasant men one would care to speak to.

DOG GOES TO NAUGATUCK.
The Owner Proved It's Identity Beyond
 a Doubt.

The law suit which promised to dis turb the peace of two friendly powers, Waterbury and Naugatuck, has been declared off and as a result there is great rejoicing in the rubber town to- day. The trouble grew out of diff ference between Edward Ryan of the latter place and E. H. Sears, proprietor of the Exchange hotel, this city, over q handsome spaniel dog named "Gyp' that strayed away from MT Ryan all most year ago and persisted in liv- ing with Mir Sears. As told in last Saturdays Democrat, the whereabouts of the missing dog was a mystery to MT Ryan until the other day when he saw it in Waterbury and instantly rec ognized it as his long lost pet and made demand upon Mir Sears for it. When the dog first appeared at the Sears residence the family cared noth- ing about it, but not caring to turn it out into the cold world it was per mitted to hang around and when AIr Sears saw it advertised in the Demo crat he tried to find the owner but did not happen to be successful and after a time he began to look upon it as an orphan and finally decided to give 1t permanent home. Things looked like clash when the Naugatrck man claimed "Gyp," but both parties are tolerably good fellows and after com pairing notes it was shown that the dog belonged originally to Mir Ryan and the hotel keeper turned it over to him without a struggle. Residents of both towns will be pleased to learn that the snarl has been strengthened out with out bloodshed. In open conflict it is not to be supposed that Naugatrck would be in it with big city like Wa terbury, still if war had been declared the struggle might have turned out to be prolonged and disastrous as the rumpus in South Africa where the smaller power appears to be making the bigger one hustle to hold it's own with the final outcome yet in doubt. The Naugatuck man had many proofs in support of his claim but the best of all was the presence of the fellow who had chopped off "Gyp's' tail when the animal was pup. When this evidence was introduced our genial neighbor threw up both hands.

TREASURE FROM SEA.
Successful Trip of searchers For Gold
 In the Sea.

New York, April 16.-Bringing a story of treasure hidden by pirates in a small island of the South Atlantic in the days when privateers were ter TOTS of the seas, the schooner yacht Kwasind came into this port on last Sunday night after q trip to the west coast of Africa.
 F. And she did not merely bring back the yarn. She actually carried an iron chest filled with gold and silver bull lion. which was said to have been buried by pirates more than thirty live years ago.
 The Kwasind sailed from this port on October 27. Captain B. W. Hen derson took with him charts and writ ings made by man who said he had helped to conceal the treasure. The expedition was backed. financially by I.F. Benckenstein of Baltimore, D.. H. Campbell and E. F, Haring of Gin cinnati and Charles Spenney of Colum- bus.
 The searchers could not find the island where the pirate captains body had been buried, nor did they recover the fabulous riches that had been told of, but the bullion they found paid for the trip and left good bonus for each man.
 Mir Campbell knew the old sea cap tain who had got hold of a chart and papers alleged to have been stolen from the sailor who had prepared them more than thirty-fiye years before and who died three years ago in q New Or leans hospital. On his death bed this sailor told of the hidden treasure. His story agreed substantially with the one set forth in the papers which the (fnoipnoff man fror91- f11n nld Spa captain.
 The craft that was chosen for the expedition was formerly the pilotboat Elbridge T. Gerry. She is only sev- enty-five feet long and looks like a mere speck on the water when seen by big ocean liner. Captain Fred T. Horton was her navigator. With him were the navigator, steward, crew of four, MT Campbell and W. c. Spen- ney of Columbus. cousin of the Spen- ney who helped back the expedition.
 Captain Horton, reipforced by his log book, yesterday. told the following story:
 sWhen we left port on October 27 we encountered. seven days of exceed ingly rough weather, and we had to stop at the Bermudas two weeks for repairs. We sailed southward, touch ing the Cape Verde Islands.
 We caught the northeast trade winds and sailed direct for the coast of Africa. We touched the coast in the 20's and went northward. We were looking for an island six or eight minutes south of the equator.
 sI did not go ashore to look for the treasure and I am not at liberty to tell you just where they found the iron chest.
 We did not find where the captain had been buried The location of that island was fixed definitely by the chart and it was the belief of Henderson that it had been submerged by an earthquake.
 ssThe cost of the trip was about $15,- 900, which was covered fully from the proceeds"
 ". c. Spenny of Cincinnati has said that the party found thA treasure on a coral island of six or seven acres. On the other side of the island they looked for big chest which the captain had buried. They found the spot had been dug up. He said he believed somebody else possessed of the information in the lost chart had been there several years before.

POLICE COURT Do1NGs
Young Girl Committed to the Indus
 trial school This Morning.

lA40A C(AOOA AAo
 The city court this morning was a scene of tears. A few minutes before Judge Burpee took his seat on the bench a woman dressed in black and wearing heavy black veil entered and took a seat with another woman in the front row in the public benches. This indicated that she was a stranger in court or she would have taken seat inside the railing. She was in tears, loud and bitter tears and when the door leading from the cells in the po- lice station opened and a young girl appeared with a handkerchief up to her face and weeping conyuIsively the woman in black looked up and cried louder.
 Then the prosecutor called out the name Selina Austin and the girl in tears answered. The woman in black was called to the stand and after stat ing that she was the girls mother told a story of her wiIfulness.
 Selina stated that she did not care to live home because of work she had to do but she preferred to work for a woman living at 30 School street, with out any pay but her board. Selina was charged with incorrigibility. She said she preferred being sent to the indus trial school for girls. Her father ap- peared to be indifferent to her fate. The girl was committed to the indus trial school until she is of age.
 Daniel Connor of Pleasant street was charged with breach of the peace and assault. The case was continued two weeks and the bond raised from S1OO to S2OO. Dr Hayes stated that Mrs Connors will be unable to appear in court for about ten days. hut whether her illness was caused by her husbands conduct or treatment of her. he would not care to say. Connor is charged with raising serious dis turbance at his. home. David Sheehy of Baldwin street gave bail for him.
