WAT E R BU R Y.
Why Moi Collect.

There is said to be a large amount of assessments due the city for benefits in matters of sewerage, street improve ments, etc., which remain uncollected, and have stood on the books in that shape for years. The worst, too, of 1t all is that these are mostly against prop erty owners of wealth and substance who can pay but have not the inclina- tion to do so. Yet the money should be collected. It is unfair to the taxpayers at large not to do so. A poor man is assessed benefits on his little home, many such homes no better than a shanty, for some public improvement. He has no money to pay it. He mort gages his little belongings and pays up. The rich man pays nothing and laughs scornfully at the city and it's assessment of him. This condition of things ought not be longer permitted. There must surely be some way to bring it to an end.

AT THE THEATRES.

More burlesque is offered at Polls next week, the Dainty Paree Burlesquers playing on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Then on Friday evening occurs the passing of burlesque, Jeffer- son De Angelis presenting his splendid opera, "A Royal Rogue" on that even ing. The change will be welcomed.
 On Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day at the Jacques the Bowery Bur- lesquers will hold the boards, while the last three days Lincoln J. Carter's great comedy drama 1.-The Eleventh Hour, ; will be the attraction. This is said to be one of the finest melodramas pro- duced this season, and has been creating @ veritable sensation wherever played.

charters for new roads, paralelling of existing lines, etc., will furnish an out let permanently for public use and con yenlence of immense capital held by in dividuals now dormant and inactive. An open door policy of legislation giv- ing the widest privilege to railroads of all kinds of motive power will invest millions of inactive capital and set it in circulation, where now it lies idle in safe deposit vaults. Every extension, every new facility for locomotion and transportation, every new line of rail road, asked for in earnest by one system and now opposed by the other, is proof positive that behind it is big capital now idle but seeking investment. It is the business of the investors whether rail road in which they have invested pays or not when operated. The public have the road any way and in either event. Another advantage in the general policy of granting extensive franchises to all railroads, of all styles of motive power, lies in the immense employment of idle labor which such grants will create, whereby any man in the state can find plenty of work to support himself and family, and our town houses would have fewer applicants for relief. This lifts an immense pecuniary strain from the taxable shoulders of every town in the state.
 Another advantage of this liberal policy.will be seen in the development of the present unimproyed and next-to- yalueless lands of the state. If a troll ley road is built from Waterbury to Woodbury, will it not add to the value of every farm along its line? Is it not the trolley-a thousand times more than any other factor-which has developed, marketed, and practically created the values of property and been the cause of t0ontinued On Page 5l

our Next Mayor. :.

We are not so far from our next city election October 1.) as that prognosti- cations may not be i'll order, as already wires are being laid deep and firm, even though the frost is not yet out of the ground. By the end of August-only five months hence-the successful candi- dates will practically have been decided upon, and about all that September will mean politically will be the arrange ment of the necessary election machin- cry to officially decide the contest.
 On the Republican side George L. Lilley is practically sure to be nominat- ed. At present he distances all com petitors.i He is what may be called the only logical candidate. This is so for several reasons. In Democratic city he was successful Republican candi- date for representative last fall, and won by large majority-and it is true in politics as in other worldly affairs that nothing succeeds like success As a representative he has developed quite an influence among legislators for new conner into the arena. Thus far, in his
 
 legislative experience he has made no breaks" and is not likely to make any. Should he cap off his legislative career in his first term at it by giving us con soidation which we so much need as a publics benefit and have thus been suc- cessful in securing what experienced representatives and able lawyers have heretofore tried in vain he will have won a victory for his towns-people which will make his nomination cer- tain for mayor of the newly consolidated city, and no Republican who would be named would stand any chance beside him. The Republican nomination should also go to MT. Lilley on grounds of goodfparty policy. On his name all factions of the party would unite, and many breaches be healed up. Should he not be.advanced to the mayorality can didacy next fall, his present legislative experience and success would fairly en- title him to his party y's consideration the

This spring the brightest colors will be much worn, although at Easter white or pale cream with small yellow or red figures or dots will be the style. Now IS the time to get a first-class spring overcoat at low cost. The Easter season will open soon and those who haven't their orders in will find delay in being served.

An offensive Performance.

It is to be hoped that the lesson which was taught the Beautiful Indian Maidens' company Wednesday, and the narrow escape one of the alleged actors had from being horsewhipded or worse in public will put stop to the use of personalities on the stage by those who cater to the lowest class and seek ap- plause by putting on specialties made offensive to persons who are marks for their wit, and against which they have no protection.
 This Beautiful Indian Maiden" ag- gregation consists of half dozen wom- en in all stages of dilapidation and of all ages over 40, and a pack of hump back-nosed and scow-faced Israelites There is not enough talent in the whole bunch to. stuff an English walnut. In fact the show savers so strongly of back number eggs that one would have to take laughing gas to sit through .sper- formance.' Monday night one of these ssbum'' actors, who posed as comedian, attempted to geta hand or a ha-ha from the audience but failed signally. He then played his last card, announcing that he would give an imitation of a well iknown young man, (mentioning his name) coming home after midnight. The exhibition was so disgusting that most of the audience turned away. All were thunderstruck but few of the addle- -pated who like to see everyone but themselves held up for public ridi- cule, laughed. And the idiot who gave this imitation was congratulating himself that he had made a hit until Manager Jacques, in towering rage, ran5 behind the scenes and with diff culty could keep his hands off the offender The fellow tried to excuse himself by saying that he didn't know who lhiss victim was, that he got the name from one of the stage hands. This made the case all the worse for he should have known all about the person even before springing an ordinary joke on him. But no imitation of this kind should ever be allowed on the stage.
 Manager Jacques did the right thing when on Wednesday he closed the the- tre against the company and told them to get their things away as soon as pos sible.

.sOpening Days'' at Chase,s.

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday next are the days upon which I. Chase will have his spring opening of milli- nery goods. Opening days, as the pub lie are we'll aware. are notable occasions with this ola and popular establishment; and it is MT. Chase's intention to make the opening of the spring season of the twentieth century one without parallel. To the ladies with whom millinery is as an ssopen book, the store will indeed be a source of much pleasure as well as profit, not only upon these days but throughout the entire season and the spring season of 1901 bids fair to go down into millinery history as present. ing particularly elegant and handsome hat wear.

 Kelly the baker has good reason to think well of this weather although having to suffer like other mortals much inconvenience therefrom.

 The Kilduff 6 Co.'s establishment still continues to be the Mecca towards which all seeking protection against this disease breeding weather turn in their hour of need. There are several reasons for this. The reputation of the firm is so long and clearly established that all have confidence in 1t. The goods handled are of the best quality, and being bought and sold in such large quantities the price is shaved" The goods, too are guaranteed as represent ed.

Snake Fascination.

Many and marvellous are the cases ]
have heard related of snakes charming
persons, birds and animals. In most
discussions some believe, some doubt
and most think if they do it at all, they
do it with the eye. Writers on natural
history, as far as | know, do not believe
they have any such power. The best
evidence to any one is his own senses
the only difficulty being that senses dc
not clearly apprehend the fects and phe-
nomena as they actually exist To es-
tablish any point in natural history is
only to clearly apprehend facts as they
are. If all the writer's on science saw
things as they really are. there would
be absolutely no disagreement.
That there is power of fascination

Let it stand covered two days, then take
the petals and put a layer in the bottom
of rose jar; on this layer sprinkle a

We have here in Hart County, Ken
lucky, a man by the name of William
Bowman, who was thrown away in the
Apache Mountains, North Carolina,
when an infant, and was found by an
o.,, bear and adopted as cub. At the
age of about ten years he was captured,
tied hand and foot, and then his captors
found that he could not talk, nor could
he be persuaded to take any food but
milk, which he sucked from a bottle,
showing that he had lived solely by the
nursing of the bear. Bowman is now a
farmer near Omega. and any one doubt
ing the truth of this statement can have
1t verified by seeing him.
