CHRIST AND THE SOUL.

Love never hunts for faults
forgiveness hides a multitude of
sins.
Self denial is an excellent spiritual
tonic.
God approves the man who walks In
the light.
It is not possible to serve the Lord
by proxy.
When enemies appoach, draw near
the Lord.
The fear of the Lord is the sublimest
of courage.
It is better to serve Christ than to
rule the world
Those who follow the Lord must for
sake the world.
The man who is ignorant should not
seek to be a leader.
The best way to secure help from
God is to help your fellow men.-Gos-
pei Advocate.

LOW TARIFF COMING.

The time is somewhat rapidly APP
preaching when the Republican party
will be compelled to adopt low tariff
policy, not only to deprive the Demo
Gratis of a regenerating and victorious
issue, but to meet the demands of
American manufacturers striving to re-
duce cost of production in order to sell
their goods in foreign markets; and to
alIay the popular impotence with taxes
that burden them for the benefit of the
tariff-made trusts. New York Tribune.

AT THE BALANCE.
Here is short and timely sermon
from the Milwaukee Journal:

Here is short and timely sermon
from the Milwaukee Journal:
Why pick at every flaw you see in
man? Why let one failing loom up so
large that it hides half dozen viz
tues ? Is that the measure you wish
taken of your character We oursel-
YES look with Ieniency on our own
faults: we see how circumstances press
ed. or under what influences or miss
apprehensions we were led to act as we
did. We did not know all that has
moved another We know that we did
not intend to be so very wrong, and do
intend to be generally right Why not
give another the credit of being equal
ly good, and of having equally reason
able excuses for his failure ? Why
have we greater right to set up stand
ard or draw line for another to come
up to, than they to do the same for us
However strict line we may draw for
ourselves, it is arrogance for us to de-
mand that others toe our line.
How many of us measure the good IN
others by our own standard Are we
not apt to demand in others more than
we are able or willing to show What
Jewel among virtues is charity, and
how few possess 1T, IN the true sense.
Though I speak with the tongues of
men and of angels, and have not chart
ty, [ am become as sounding brass, or
tinkllng cymbal And though have
the gift of prophesy, and understand
all mysteries and all knowledge, and
though have all faith, so that could
remove mountains, and have not chart
ty, I am nothing And though be-
stow all my goods to feed the poor,
and though give my body to be burn
ed, and have not charity, it profiteth
me nothing. And now abid-
eth faith, hope, charity, these three;
but the greatest of these is charity. .
No better definition of charity than
this What lack there is of charity
not charity merely, but jnstice How
can we know or measure the mental
and physical weaknesses and tempta-
tons, the circumstan ces conditions and
motives that control or influence the
acts of others? How often do we allow
suspicion to become opinion, and pre-
JUDGE to grow into convection, without
warrant or justification. How unjust
and Improbable it all is, for by the
law of compensation one cannot dc
another an injury without injurine
himself. Why not be more mindful O.
the philosophy contained in these lines
of the sweet Scotch singer:
Then gently scan your brother man,
Sttll gentler sister woman,
| Though they may gang a kennin Wrang,
To step aside is human;
One point must still be greatly dark,
The moving why they do it,
And Just as lamely can We mark
How far, perhaps, they rue it.
| Who tends the heart, it's he alone
| Decidedly can try US;
He knows each chord--its various tone,
Each spr1ng---tts various bins
Then at the balance lets me mute,
We never can adjust it,
What's done we partly may compute,
But know not what's resisted.

ITCH IS TORTURE

Eczema is caused by an acid humor In
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and In
f1ammation little pustular eruptions form
and discharge thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and fssured. Eczema In any
form Is torrnenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable; the acid burning
humor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on fire. Salves, washes nor other exter-
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
it will keep the skin irritated.

CRIMINAL JURISDICTION.
Fear Expressed That Bill Now Under
 Consideration Will Pass.


 Local attorneys are begiAning to fear that the bill providing for the abolition of criminal Jurisdiction in the district court may pass. Many of them are almost certain that it will be reported upon favorably by the con- mittee. Colonel Burpee argued in the Democrat last week to the extent of half column that the court was a source of income to the state and. in fact, was one of the few courts that maintains itself. In support Of this argument they quote the state comp troller's report as follows: Received from the criminal side of the court or common plaes in New Haven't for last year. S1 .611; court of common pleas Fairfield county. criminal Slde, Sl,- 96S.5 superior court Hartford coun' ty. $500: superior court. New Haven county. S7.535. Considering the ex- tent of the jurisdiction of the two last named courts. the income derived from them is only about equal to that re- ceived from the district court. S2,oOO odd.
 The comptrollers report shows the following items of expense or the uls- trict court for the past year: Judge. S3. .OOO: bills of cost, St44: balance or jury debenture, S1.6o4.SS; sheriff, dep uties. attendance, jury officers, Se@o' messenger ST25: stenographer, ser vices, etc SS9; service of jury War rants. S15291: deputy judge. StSo; sundries. printing. lighting. heating s1 .O22. .55: clerks commissions, S5lo.44; total, S9.12OO6. There Is also the sal ary of the iantor. about S1.OOO. which is charged up to the probate district 1he Jurisdiction of the court, the coun- tv and the state. It is held by the lawyers that the business of the crln- inal side of the court occupies aOout one-tenth of the time. the rest Is given to civil business. Therefore. they claim that this court only costs the state the salary of the prosecuting at- torney. S1.JO0 while from the crln- inal side it receives an income of sooo over and above that amount. Irl- marily the court was established TO re- 1ieve the superior court. but later' about three years ago. criminal Jurls- diction was given to it to give further relief to the superior court to dispose of the hundred petty appeals rom the city court On these grounds. there fore. the legal fraternity claims that the district is not only q source of in- come to the state but also Is lhdls- pensable.

STRIKE IN WILBUR OPERA co.

Wardrobe Keeper Kept Keys. and
 Emergency Costumes Were Used.
 New Haven, March 1.-The Wilbur Opera company left here yesterday af- ter closing the most exciting weeks stand of it's history, according to the manager. On Friday the comedian, J. Hartley Duff, took his wife, who is in the chorus, and another chorus girl and went to New York. He departed just before the matinee performance, which had to be altered in conse- Quence. Yesterday the companyS plans were upset by strike by Ida Shannon, keeper of the wardrobe. She had sixty keys to unlock 15O trunks, and when she struck she refused to give up key. The company got out n few costumes and improvised others enough for m emergency performance. Before Miss Shannon could be in duced to give up the keys it was necessary to call In Deputy Sherin Goodhart to serve a writ of repievin on her. The acting manager, William Fullward, joined in the strike Satur- day afternoon. Before the company left here yesterday afternoon he was discharged.

OLD RESIDENT DEAD.
Employe of White X Wells Company
 for Forty-three Years.

TOT tOfIy-tnfcCs 1eufS%
 Albert Noether, aged - years and 10 months, died early this morning at his home on Cooke street. Besides his widow, he leaves one son and one daughter. The funeral will take place to-morrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, with service at the house and inter- ment in Riverside cemetery. MT Noether was one of the pioneer Ger man residents of Waterbury and was well liked by everybody who knew him. He worked for forty three years at the White & Wells company, where he was regarded as a skilful Inechan- ic and an exceedingly agreeable shop mate. He was republican in poli- tics and represented his party in the council chamber in 1890 and 1895. and took part in some of the stormy de bates which excited that body during the animated discussions relative to the location of an additional water supply. A1r Noether was honest and outspOken and on this account he often found himself obliged to turn aside from party lines in order to do justice to his conscience and give the public the benefit of his mature Judgment. His rugged honesty won him many friends in all walks of life and es- pecially among those who came in close touch with him, so that in many respects he was considered a rather remarkable man. Once or twice dur ing the past few years he strolled into the aldermaric chamber and remained there half an hour or so, looking at the way they do things these days and appeared to be somewhat disap- pointed at the tameness of the sessions of the aldermen compared with the breezy meetings of the councilmen in the good old days when himself and John Fitzpatrick and John l.. Finley used to have q run in now and then about matters pertaining to public policy. Mir Noether also served at one time on the board of relief Represen- tativeS of the city and town will attend the funeral. Out of respect to this representative citizen, who has taken active part ill the development of Wa terbury, it is suggested that the City hall flag be placed at half mast to- morrow afternoon, as a last token of esteem from sympathetic community to an honored citizen.
