An Incident of Major Coles Meeting
 Last Night.

The meeting in the old postofice building last night drew out a large at tendance, notwithstanding the fact there. were special services in at least two of the churches and the band con- cert was in progress at the time.
 An unusual incident occurred which illustrated the need of a little more of just such work in this village as Major Cole ia now engaged in. The usual street meeting was held on the corner of Center and Washington streets, after which adjournment was taken to the postofiice building.
 A young man under the influence of liquor staggered up against Major Cole during the street meeting. MT. Cole put out his hand gently and sustained him while he made the incident the subject of ten minutes talk on the eviln of intemperance, and in which he said the young man, after all, was not so much to blame as those who sold him the liquor.
 When the crowd on the corner went to the postofiice building the young man followed, and, edging his way to the front sat down. He was well dressed and gentlemanly in his appear ance. but it was evident to all who could see him that he was greatly 'n- toxicated. Presently he fell over on the floor where he lay undisturbed till the close of the services. Instead of calling an officer as would have been done in som cases. Major Cole viewed the young man with sympathy and again used the self-provided example Of human weakness and proneness to err as an incident for the. teaching of a lesson, making reference to a similar occurrence that he had witnessed in his career as an evangelist, and through which worldly minded men had been brought to a better way Of living. There were many ladies in the au- dience who had never before witnessed such a spectacle and who were at first somewhat agitated by the presence of a man under the influence of liquor, but their fears were soon removed, and tho l circumstance served no doubt to illus. trate a truth better than oft repeated words could have done.

"Ex- Congressman Rockwell" says the Boston Transcript, has an old CO., lonial oak chest. which, so far as he can trace it, is 150 years old. Only three of these chests are known to be in this country. One of them ia owned by the Rev. MT Hill of Hartford. son-in-law of the late Rev. Dr. Todd, and the other by family in the south. The chest was bought by Mir. Rockwell about 20 years ago of Mir. Kenyon, late postmas- ter of Otis, and the former said he had had it for over thirty years. He bought it of a man named John Cornish, who was about % years old at the time and who said it had been in his family since he was years old. Further back than that he was unable to trace the origin of the chest The chest stands | in the hall at MT. RockwelPs house. is about four feet high, with two drawers and three panels, with quaint carvings on the latter.'

MRS NATION AGAIN.
Administers Tongue flashing to Gov
 ernor Stanley.


 ernor Stanley.
 Topeka, Kan, Jan o9-Mrs Carrie Nation yesterday invaded the office of Governor William E. Stanley, ill the capitol building, and for q solid hour arraigned the chief executive of the state for his failure to close the sa- looms of Kansas. Then in turn she visited the offices fof Attorney General Goddard, County Attorney Nichols and Shreiff Porter and demanded of each that they close the saloons.
 When Mrs Nation entered Governor Stanley's office. she was followed by 9 crowd. By turns she administered to Governor Stanley tongue flashing. She put her questions with fierceness and answered them herself without giving the governor time to utter complete sentence.
 Do you think my method is right?" she asked.
 No, l don't" replied the governor. Well, Governor. have you a better onew As the governor turned in his chair to make answer every one listened in tently.
 No, don't think have" he finally replied. Continuing, he managed to edge in few words more: What can do! am powerless. The law does not allow me to do what desire. The law gives me no privileges, What can I do?'
 If necessary, call out the militia" was Mrs Nations prompt reply. Then the crusader began q philippic that caused Governor StanIey's anger to rise. As she became more vehement her voice Quiyered She called him "lawbreaker" and ''perjurer' repeat edV.
 Finally, his temper gone, Governor Stanley arose from his seat and shout ed back:
 You cannot come here and talk this way to me. You cannot talk to me this way say. You are q woman. but l won't stand it. You will have to leave if you cannot"
 II am mother. I am grandmoth- CT, and l represent the mothers of the state," was her answer
 You don't. You don't represent them, almost shouted the governor.
 The words flew back and forth with such fierceness that it was impossible to distinguish them. The room was in an uproar. Then Mrs Nation talked more calmly, pleading with the gov ernor to aid her.
 You come with me and help smash saloons" she urged. And then she added: eff you won't help us-if you won't help me, I'll go around and smash, smash, smash. The devil seems to have cinch on the men, but he hasn't cinch on the hatchets and rocks"
 Mrs Nation next started for the of flee of Attorney General Goddard. He was engaged, but she forced her way into his private office. and called him names. Then she made the rounds of the other county officers, several of whom were not in.

Something the Pub1ic
 Ought to Know,

The Messenger of Death visits near ly 1000 families in this city every year. This is about the average rate of every city the size of Waterbury. To know where to get the best as well as the cheapest undertaken is a very important matter for every fami- ly to understand when this sad event occurs.
 For eighteen years, in this city, we have made undertaking special fea- ture of our business; and we want to set forth our reasons why it is to the interest of the public to leave their business with us.
 First-We employ about twenty peo- pie and use ten horses in our business. When we are not busy in one line of trade we are in another so that the extra cost of our undertaking ex- peDse Is trifing when compared to those who have nothing else to de- pend upon only the one line of busi- ness. By this calculation we can save the people from 15 to 20 per cent, which is large item to any family. This year we are making this fact plain to every one who has business with our Undertaking department, there Is no favoritism, 1t Is purely a business proposition and our large facilities for handling business enables Us lO SAft luC PuDAC luIS AuS dHlASS- AS to the thoroughness and excellence of our work we shall leave to those hundreds of families who have em- ployed us for eighteen years in Wa rerbury.
 We have experienced and capable men who will see to all the details of the cemetery, the death certificates o1 doctor and town clerk and many an noyances which trouble inexperienced people; and this time will cost oul patrons nothing.
 Our hearses and hacks arc the best in the state and all our equipment is uD-to-date.
 Our night calls are answered nj store, house and District Telegraph office. We have two telephones.

HORSES FOR THE BRITISH.
It Is Believed That Part of Ireland
 will Be the Breeding Place.

It Is Believed That a Part of Ireland
 Will Be the Breeding Place.
 New York, Jan 29.-There passed through the city yesterday, en route south, three British officers. who will superintend the shipping of nearly five thousand horses to South Africa. They are Captain Seymour Husted, Captain T. M Langton of the Twenty-frst Lancers and Lieutenant J. H. c. White of the Third Buffs. These officers were selected by the remount department of the British war office, and they will travel on steamships from New Or leans to Durban with the animals al ready selected for use of the South African Yeomanry arm of the British army.
 The problem of supplying mounts for the cavalry branch of the British army continues to be exceedingly difh- cult of solution. The supreme lesson of the Boer war has resulted in em- phasizing the fact that in the wars of the future mounted infantry will be of prime importance, and the horses and mules that are now being shipped will be used by soldiers who hereto fore have never had any military ser vice on horseback. It is not proba- ble the United States will be able to supply all necessary animals that can be used as mounts, and the war office authorities are looking around in other directions, principally to Belgium, Hungary and Ireland, for new sources of supply. It is known that military agents are hunting over the moors of Connemara, Sligo, Kildare and Wick low for animals. and it is said that considerable encouragement has been given the officers looking for horses in Connemara, as over it's moors great herds of ponies continually roam.
 The conditions in the west of Ire land are so favorable for breeding and rearing ponies that with little organization Connemara might pro vide. at relatively small cost to the nation. all the ponies needed. Come mara has long been noted for ponies At one time the ponies were so like Andalusian horses that 1t was assum- ed that they were the unmixed off- spring of the horses which escaped from one of the ships of the Spanish Armada Owing to the mildness of the climate the ponies spend their earlier years entirely on the noun tafns; this makes them not only ex- tremely hardy. but also clever and capable of finding food where other ponies would starve. They average in height from 13 to 14h hands; have short. fiat-boned legs. and can carry from 16O to POO pounds weight.
