FIVE MEN STRIKE.
Were Receiving s1O Week But
 Want g. Additional.

" VhC ucNIS.iAslns Tlp Ase NSeh DuI Want g. Additional.
 Although the industrial conditions in Waterbury are considered to be i'll q prosperous condition still strikes ap- pear to be bobbing up. The latest one is among the laborers em. ployed at the foundry conducted by R H. Fry < Co, on Porter streer. who are also interested ina two foundrys in New York state. The strike affected but few men, only five going out. There are about twenty men employed at the concern. About eight of these do work in connection with sash weights. Yesterday the men demanded of Superintendent Tanner an increase of S2 a week. They are at present receiving $1O, but they desired SIP. One of. the strikers told q reporter of the Democrat this morn ing that in other foundrys the regu- lar rate of wages is SIP for the work which they perform. That the work was very arduous and formerly they only received $9 a week, put about a year ago, they received an increase of S1 T week.
 When Superintendent Tanner was seen upon the subject, his story varied @OllSiaEiuOlf tlTQluf lOiu p4 thE strikers. He said no strike had oc- cured. The men had been very pleas ant in regard to the subject. Yester- day afternoon they asked him if he did not consider the work worth q little more money. He said 1t was worth as much as they could get. Every man deserves as much as he can get. He asked them how much they wanted and they told him their demands, which he refused. stating that the amount of work which they did did not warrant 1t nor could the business afford it. This morning he saw the men and informed them that if any one was dissatisfied they had permission to leave, ns he did hot wish to have or wouldn't have any 5disgruntled man in his employ. He told them of the conditions prevailing In other cities. Five men then left and three or four remained at work.
 s'Isn't it time that men engaged in such work generally receive $2 a day?"
 That depends upon the locality. In Baltimore, where colored people are employed. $1 to $1.50 is the days wages. Boston pays S1.75 to $2.25. New York S1.5O to $2.25, Pittsburg S1.50 to $2. But in these places, a days work. is 1900 to 4.000 pounds q day, while our men only do HOO ponnds n day. The men are only ordinary laborers. We can take in any old mueker from the sewer or any other place and break him in in about ten days"

WATERBURY BOYS ABROAD.
Worked Their Way Across the Water
 On Cattle Ship.

Worked Their Way Across the Water On a Cattle Ship.
 Frank Rowe, Edward Coughlan and Matthew Conner, three Waterbury boys, who left here a few weeks ago stating that they were bound for Buffalo, have been heard from at Bristol. Eng, by the father of one of the tourists, Terrence Coughlan. the Washington street butcher, They are stopping at the Swan hotel. The paper on which the letter is written bears evidence of this, being handsomely ornarnented by cut of n bird of that breed. The trio were strolling about New York and happened to meet some one who offered them a chance to make a trip to the old country on cattle ship. Coughlan was to tend to sheep. Bowe's job would be tending to steers. and Connor was to look after q few horses. The boys held q conference. and after talking the matter over they concluded to accept the offer. set sail and reached MeIrie England after q passage of twenty days. On the way over three of Eddie Conghlan's flock of sheep died, and the secretary of the party, Frank Rowe, describes what was done with the dead animals in this style:
 "There was no funeral service. no. carriages and if there were mourn CTS we saw none of them. We simply took the sheep by the legs and heayed them overheard and then let them go wherever the waves cared to send them.'
 Tn another part of the letter q para graph appears which runs as follows:
 England is very nice place to live in. and if we can find work we will remain here until the fall. If not the chances are we will make the return trip shortly. We should like to strike good jobs here for half year or so,s so that we could afford to make q trip through Ireland We hate the idea of going home without visiting Ire land and seeing what kind of a place it is. We have heard so much about it we could travel some parts there without inquiring the way. We caught glimpse of the coast on the route to England and 1t made Us feel that, after all, there is more truth than some people suppose in what the old folks say regarding the unriyalee beauty of the Irish landscape. If we get over there we'll tramp the country from one end to the other before we think of going back. At present the crops are overground in some places and it is nice sight to look at.
 The letter contained slips of paper on which was written the principal events that occurred since they left here, the kind of weather they had during the voyage, how it feels to be seasick and so on.
 Of course they desired to be remem- bered to all the boys at home and did not forget to state that so far they have seen no place like home They wanted to know how ssFinnegan'' CTerry Coughlan's fighting goatl is getting along and expressed the hope that all the bachelors on the hill will be married by the time they return from their tour in Europe.

BRONSON LIBRARY NOTES.
Unbound Magazines May Be Procured
 On Extra Card.

# st On Extra Card. v
 There was some experiment at the opening of the librarians office at the Bronson library on Saturday morning.
 last week, the small space around the
 "open shelf being crowded fat once
 with people eager to see and handle
 the interesting collection of books. The
 strain was somewhat relieved by
 transferring some volumes to the ta-
 ble, but even then there was hardly
 showroom, and the reporter was led
 to speculate upon tie manifestly ap-
 proaching need of opening q larger
 part of the library to the public
 In addition to books some of the un-
 bound magazines which slra not ustaal- ly in the reading room will be exhib-a
 ited on Saturday, and people will be allowed extra cards to take home a periodical, as we'll as n book, and keep it q week Only the next to the latest numbers, however. may be taken in this way, as the most recent issues are
 needed in the reading room or for ref erence in the library. The exceptions to this rule are the duplicate copies of the Atlantic Century. Harper, Scribncr and St Nicholas. Of which the latest (ApriD number arc at the ser vice of the public.
 The theme of the story hour last week was Siegfried, the hero of the Nibelungenlied. whose vnlor appealed
 to the.b boys and his unhappy love af-
 fairs to the girls. so that all were we'll
 pleased The 8 years age limit on the
 o-ae hand and the exclusios of grown i people from the story hour on the. other, has given one little fellow the { idea thnt after maturity ~ which he l places at 12 years, the door of the l story room will be closed 10 him. As l the result of meditation on the fact 1 that being 10 years of age, the two
 years before the fatal 12 would seem very short, he said to his mother that
 he wished he could always have stayed
 at the age of so that he might have
 years and years" of story hours be- 1 fore him. For the benefit of such anx-' ! ious yoi2ng souls, the librarian says 7 that no one need graduare from the story room before the age of 10.
 Of the art books to be shown on
 Saturday the two volumes of the Paris saloon 1899 and 1900, are es-
 pecially attractive. They contain del- licately tinted photogravures of paint l ings exhibited in Paris dnring the last 1.-two years. The opportunity to ex- anime these books is offered all day Saturday and in the evening up to 9 o'clock The public will be cordially invited.

PUSHING THE WORK.
Committees JLaboring Hard For the
 Knights of Columbus Fair.

Knights or COlumDuS FdIF.
 The general committee having in charge the arrangements for the coming Knights of Columbus union fair will hold meeting this evening, and it is expected that most of the sub-commit- tees will be able to make final reports concerning their work at this meeting. Only nine days more remain before the fair opens. and it is desired to have all the preliminary work completed we'll in advance of tho opening night.
 Not n hitch has occurred so far in the arrangements, and if things go off as they, are being planned the fair will be the biggest thing of its kind that Waterbury has ever seen. Public in terest is aroused as it has never been for q society fair before, and signs are apparent on every hand of desire to cooperate with the Knights in mak- ing the fair n success. The season books are being bought in large num- bers, and already the amounts of money offered for distribution, as we'll as the expenses of the fair on all ac- counts, have been more than realized from these sales alone. This is, of course, very encouraging condition of affairs, for 1t insures that the moneys that will be taken in on the various evenings during the fair will be practically all profit. Most hopeful reports are being received also from the school children and others who are interested in the contest between the school principals for the trip to the Pan American exposition at Buffalo, and 1t Is certain that this feature will prove one of the most interesting and profitable of any connected with the fair.
 Altogether the signs are most prom ising for realizing the ambition of the Knights to make this fair surpass any thing of the kind ever held here. If it doesn't the fault will certainly not lie with the general or subcommittee that have the arrangements in charge.

GAINsBOROUGH THIEF DEAD.
Lawyer of the Agnew Firm Talks
 About the Stolen Duchess.

Lawyer or (ne ASueWs T ifth AuthS
 About the Stolen Duchess.
 London, April 12. "A reporter called on c. Morland Agnew and told him the substance of. the story printed "Wednesday morning in regard to the \ recovery of the Gainsborough Ouch ess of Dayonshire picture. After read- ing the story MT Agnew who brought the portrait back from the United states, commented on it in this fash ion: ITO tell you the honest truth, we believe that q man named Worth was concerned in the original theft. We understand that the picture had been E in Chicago for some years.
 Tn an interview Wednesday, Sir 5George Lewis, counsel for William A g. neur & Sons. said: "The man who stole the Duchess of Devonshire DOT trait died in Hoi.nnd some years ago, after he had been convicted seyeraI times of robberies. Before this the picture was carried to America by the thief or one of his confederates. That I know. Years afterward ov.-tures came to me for the return of the lcr- trait. but always stipulated that it must be delivered at my office. The Agnews always took the most correct attitude in the matter and in the pub lie interest they were anxious not only to discover but to punish the thief.
 ..The man I speak of lived in good flat in the West End of London and was concerned in several great rob berries. One of these was the theft of 10000 pounds worth of bonds, which were stolen between Paris and Bou- logne. The thieves gained access to the railway van by the gangway which runs outside the Frencfistralns and substituted false paddock on the van.
 Apparently on the mans death the picture was transferred to confed- crate. I do not know the details, nor do | fancy Scotland Yard does.
 q have received many offers for the. return of the picture by persons de sIrous of earning the 1000 pounds re- ward. but they always wanted cash in advance for their expensea" "

Argument for ShOddy.

Legislation calculated to
promote honesty in trade is
commendable on general prin.
ciples, but the admiXture of
shoddy is bound to be large in
American wooden goods so long
as tariff duties averaging AZ
per cent are levied on imported
clothing woods and "a per cent
on imported wooden clothing,
These almost prohibitive du
ties are d strong temptation to
the American wooden manufac.
turer to mix shoddy which is
cheap with wool which is dear.
The poor people in the United
States wear shoddy clothing
because this is the only nation
in the world that puts tax on
wool.-From The New York
