ces is q graveyard business. But he
is opposed to spending money In poll
tics, and is a high-toned and honor
able man.
He is slow. He thinks on the
Fourth of July and acts on Christmas.
He has been prosecuting attorney of
Fairfield He mado q fair officer and
Is an average lawyer with good
practice. He has no tact. He knows
nothing of the various men and con-
ditons in the several counties and
has no charm of personal manner. or
love of sociabilty that wins in poll
tics. and in some measure compen-
satcs for defects in political mana
ger.
There are some men chosen on the
executive committee that are not up
to the standard established by Kill
bourne.
The committee is to be composed of
12. If they were all angels there is
no power this side of heaven or hell
who could do anything with them.
The Ohio Democracy is short on or
ganization.
It's all yell and hurrah. There are
10 weeks to organize SS counties and
47j,000 Democrats, and the executive
committee has not yet organized.
Ditty says he will yet be elected
secretary. He will probably climb in
by the fire escape unless it is re-
moved.
If Daugherty is going to be chair
man anu Williams treasurer. they will
need a secretary who knows where
Highland and some of the other 81
counties are located. Ditty, who was
bank receiver under Cleveland, and
edited a gold paper in the midst of
the silver craze, could issue an obit-
uary notice to the Bryan Democrats
telling them how dead they are and
to lay quiet.

 There was a large crowd at Polls theater this morning waiting for the opening of the box office to secure tick cts for the big dramatic production of the Boston theater version of The Octoroon," given under. the auspices of Toantick tribe, Independent Order of Red Men. Monday evening. The play is a strong stock drama and has been played with great success in every large theater i'll this country and Eng land. The longest run of the play was made in the Boston theater several years ago and at that time attracted the attention of every theater man. ager in the country. The play ahounds in strong scenes and startling climaXes while the story of the play is full of sentiment and interesting situations. One of the principal features of the production, there will be no waits be- tween the acts as several high-claSs musical numbers will be rendered that will make a continuous performance. The cast has been carefully selected and the entire production will be worthy the patronage of every theater going person in this city.

The United States Fast Be- coming a
 Paradise

We want to make the people feel happy, and here are the latest figures to show what is being done in their interest. In round numbers, this coun- try spent $500, 100000 for hospitals, or phanages. new churches, etc, etc. ID 1900. The Catholics head the list with $31,COO,OOO, Methodists $26,O0O,0OO Presbyterians $2O,OO0OOO Episcopali- lans $14OOO,OOO, Baptists $12,OOO,OOO, Salvation Army $750,0OO and so on down the line. In 1900 we had 2,34O churches and to-day we have 1St, ,4S1 churches in the United States alone. This is marvellous showing-a pretty good world to live in. The next best thing to do to make the world better is for the great Trusts and Combina- tionS who control prices to show their honesty to the people by paying GOOD LIVING WAGES. The habit of pay ing small wages is a bad habit.
 What is the world to anyone who has not got a comfortable home. with comfortable surroundings?

THE KIMBALL RECITAL,

ne NuWDerS " ere Rendered III
 Highly Acceptable Manner.
 The cozy hall connected with the ktmball Conservatory of Music was filled with q large audience last even ing who were present to enjoy the twenty-eighth recital of the kimball school. The recital was given by the pupils of the school and was marked by the beauty and variety of the various numbers.
 Each number was rendered in q highly acceptable manner as mani Tested by the enthusiastic applause which greeted it's renditions. There were several features in last even ing'S entertainment which was of es- pecial merit and are worthy of special mention.
 First was the appearance of Pas Quale TallaricO. He is only eight years old and has taken lessons only about four months, but he acted as accom- panist in several selections last even ing in manner which at once made him a favorite with the audience. The playing of Miss Bessie Pierce of New Britain was also of q meritorious na ture. She is a pianist of no little ability and in her rendition of Polka de h Reine' she displayed wonderful powers. Her playing was also beautiful in LisZt's 'Chromatique Gallop,'' which she played in conjunc ton with Miss Clara BrzeZinski on two pianos.
 Miss Alta Mum needs no introduc- ton to Waterbury audiences. Her ability as a singer is unquestioned and as q pianist she is also grand. She was heard in several pleasing solos last evening and also rendered piano selection.
 Miss Edyth Pope, tviolinist. and Percy Wallace, soloist, were unable to appear last evening. The entertain ment was of a pleasing nature and teacher and friends alike should re ceive credit for the admirable man. ner in which everything was conduct ed. The following program was ren- dered:

WATERBURY ELkS MINISTRIES.

Great Rehearsal Last Night and Ev-
 erybody Pleased With the Prospects.
 There Is one thing that can be said about the Waterbury lodge of Elks. and that is that the members never copy or follow any established line when they propose to give an enter tainment. They always select a plan of their own and this year will be no exception, for the coming minstrel per formance will be one of the most novel affairs that has ever been presented before any audience. It will deviate entirely from the old style Of minstrel performances and will be presented in l very unique manner. At last nights reeharSal the end men were assigned their parts and it is no boast to say it that there has never been a minstrel performance given in the state of Con necticut that has seen better men on the end. The majority of them are new to the Elks patrons, but they are not new to the minstrel world, for sev- eral of them have on more than one occasion demonstrated their ability both in the amateur and professional ranks. Some of the end songs that were sung last night were corkers and no mistake. and when the boys get down to real hard work the people of Waterbury can look for something be- yond the ordinary as regards minstrel sy. There was n big attendance at the rehearsal last night and there will be another rehearsal tomorrow after noon at } o'clock. Tickets will be ready tomorrow and the boys will take hold immediately to make it financial as well as theatrical success. Every member of the lodge is expected to be present tomorrow afternoon. as there is business of great importance ta como nm

Two Men Tried to Sell a Rubber
 Trimmed Harness.

Trimmed Harness.
 Arthur Niver and Michael Tanning were bound over to the next term of the superior court this morning on q charge of burglary. Last evening De- tective Cahey saw Tanning and Niver drive into the yard of Loucks < Pin ney's stable on Spring street. They offered MT Loucks a rubber-trimmed set of harness for sale.

Wake, of the Boston Furniture company on South Main street, testified that the harness belonged to him. When his stableman went to hitch up this morning he found the harness gone. Investigation showed that a rear door had been broken open and footprints in the snow showed the direction the intruders came and went. Niyer pleaded not guilty to burglary, but Tanning did Niyer said he was in q saloon on South Main street when Tanning en- tered and asked him if he could sell a harness. Niver said he would try, and asked him where it was. Fan ming said 1t was in the West end and that he would not dare take 1t through the streets. It was this implicated him in the matter. Both were bound over under bonds of $500.

THE TROLLEY DUMMY CLOCKS.
Gentleman From the Rural Districts
 Set Watch by Them Last Night.

Gentleman From the Rural Districts
 Set Watch by Them Last Night.
 The dummy clocks on the advertis- ing board on the Lawlor building on Bank street have caused many d one some bother, but last evening about [ 80 o'clock, while the snow was fall ing, truly rural gentleman happened along who was made real angry by them. Four of them point to the time cars leave the center for points within the city limits, while two others show the hours of departure for the Oakville cars. To stranger they present the appearance of genuine clocks. The mans watch, q good, honest, old-fash- toned silver affair, differed from the dummies on the board and, wondering how that could be, the man submitted to the progress of time, as he thought, and set his watch with them. Then he went away. Soon after he returned and, again looking at the board, saw that Time was evidently taking q rest He looked at his honest watch and saw that he was still growing older Then he looked at the electric clock opposite Hodson's cafe, and 1t agreed with his watch, barring the latter was seven minutes fast. The man was confused. He asked the right time from a few passers-by and found they agreed with the electric clock. This was the first time his silver oracle had gone back on him, and, turning back the hands of his watch seven minutes. which put 1t on the right track. the gentleman from the country said what he thought of 'lectric clocks in free speech to all who desired to hear, and
 went his way. Darn 'em,' said he. looking at the board. when they don agree with themselves, how can they | agree with an honest watch?'
