CIENCE IN FARMING PAYS.
Efforts of Secretary Wilson to Edu-
cate the AgrIculturists of
the Country.

The secretary of agriculture, Mr..
Wilson, halls from a farming state
and is himself a successful conductor
of a farm. He believes that not
enough attention is paid to scientific
agriculture by the colleges of to-day
and he has taken up the agitation
Of this matter as a hobby, says a
Washington report. Wherever he
makes a speech be tells his hearers
that his department utilities the sery-
ices of every young man it can find
who has had thorough training in
some branch of scientific agricul-
ture. There is great demand for
this kind of service, and the depart
ment has the utmost difficulty in
holding on to its experts because OF
the growing outside calls that are
being made on them.
There are about 1000 people in the
department of agriculture who are
engaged on scientific agricultural
work, yet hardly one of them came
into the government service fully
equipped. Secretary Wilson calls at
tention to this fact to emphasize his
statement that the colleges should
give more thought and attention to
the development of agricultural sci
ences. There are some so agricul-
tural colleges in the country calling
for competent teachers and 60 or 20
agricultural experiment stations
where there is always an opening
for a trained scientist. There is
money in becoming an agricultural
expert and Secretary Wilson thinks
that 9ur young men would do well
to choose such a profession rather
than the overcrowded fields of law

THE TOWN HAD OFFSETS.
So the Drummer's Claim for Damages
Didn't Bring Him as Much as
He Sued For.

81 had been knocking about Kan
sas town in the evening" said drum
mer with a limp, according to the Dali
las News, land in heading for my hotel
l walked plump into an open sewer
which had no red light of warning.
81 had a bad fall and broke my hip
and wasn't yet out of the sewer when
l made up my mind to sue for 5000
damages. | was taken to the hospital
and next day the city attorney called
on me to know what was going to do.
81 am going to sue the town, Of
course replied.
"'But what for?' he asked.
"'For personal damages. There
should have been a railing or a light,
but there was neither, and my injury
will lay me up for weeks
"'But don't you know what you es-
capped by falling into the sewerg he
asked.
ono
"'Then let me tell you that the roof
of the hotel fell in last night and killed
three men and if you had been in your
bed you would have been crushed to
pulp. You really owe this town some
thing instead of talking about dam
ages
"When able to get out" continued
the drummer, 81 found that public
opinion was against me and the peo-
pie ready to stand suit, and by ad-
vice of lawyer settled the case for
SIPS.
81 didn't even get all that. In
tumbling into the sewer broke two
planks and brought on cavern and
the damages were assessed at $500 and
taken out of the money"

Happy
FEELING,

Nothing on earth will make a
property owner feel so happy and
contented as the knowledge that he
has a policy in one of our staunch
old line companies. The person
who has his property insured with
us is just as sure of getting the full
face value of his policy after the
fire as though he had the cash in
hand the moment his policy is writ
ten by us. Considering these facts
there is no reasan why our policy
holders should not feel contented,
We believe we can give you better
fire insurance advantages than any
Southern Agency.

Waterbury Democrat., 1902-06-25

Miss Mary l.. Tower, aged 76 years, died yesterday afternoon at the resi- |dence of A. o. Lake, Bethlehem, where she went a short time ago to spend 9 vacation. She was a resident of Prospect street, this city.
 I. G. Anderson of Waterbury, the former proprietor of the Ansonia Can dy Kitchen, was in Ansonia, Monday afternoon, calling on old friends. He still likes Ansonia, where he resided many years, the best of any place he has been engaged in business in and finds the people more congenial than in other places.-Ansonia Sentinel. F The following are the new officers of Court Fruitful Vine, No 5, F.. of A.: Chief ranger, Michael Grout; sub chief ranger, William McGowan, re- cording secretary, F. Bagley; senior woodward, Thomas Conlon; junior woodward, Patrick Phalen, se1Eor bea- dle, Daniel Quinn; junior beadle, Pat rick J. Cayanaugh; lecturer, M. J. Col loty; trustee, Bernard Whitney. Three candidates were initiated and two propositions received.

the people who are working ten hours work and the same old wages they'd be happy.
 IF the manufacturers would give their help nine hours work for ten hours pay they would certainly have the good wishes of their help and they might not lose a darn cent in the long run.
 IF our Coffee deserved at your table you'd be sure of happiness and good health in the family.
 IF the city would sell the Carrie Welton fountain end of the "Green" to Uncle Sam he could build a hand some postofice building and the city officials could use the proceeds paying off some of the taxpayers debt.
 IF Waterbury gets that new $400,- 900 hotel it may materialize about the same time the union depot is built.
 IF more people knew how much nicer our Tea and Coffee tastes than what the other fellows sell there would be more happiness in the city.
 IF the Waterbury baseball club could win every game, we honestly be- lieve there are knockers that wouldn't be satisfied at that.
 IF Brother Cutler wins his case against his landlord (and the trial is to come up soon) he will receive con- gratulations from one of his former neighbors who wouldn't go back on that side of the street if he got rent gratis.

little obstacle is said to have barred

Matters reached crisis yesterday.
An open protest was made and a strike
was threatened.
The regular time for making az

bachelors are said to have counted on
substantial increases in the month just

Beaten by all OnIOOker of a Big
Poker Game Who Observed
an Exchange OF Signals Be-
tween Two Strangers

NEW YORK, Aug 23.-The detection
of two alleged card sharps in a poker
game with Willie X. Vanderbilt, Jr.,
Oliver H. P. Belmont, Robert Goelet,
J. Jefferson Coolidge, Jr., and two other
men of wealth, enlivened the trip
across the ocean Of the Kron Prinz
Wilhelm, which arrived Thursday.
The game was one of the largest in
the annals of transatlantic gambling.
The ante was $50. There was no
limit. The majority of the players
were millionaires, and the possibilities
which the two sharpers saw before
them were golden until the Interrupt
tlon came in the form of denunciap
ton by Captain Richter, in command
of the vessel.
A woman adventures, said to be
we'll known in New York and London,
is alleged to have been behind the plan
ito fleece the American millionaires.
She met some members of the party
before they left England, and made
them acquainted with the two men
who were to fleece them. =.
But for the chance discovery by ON
onlooker that the two sharpers were
cheating, considerable fortune might
have been won by them from their in
tended victims. The discovery was
timely. however. and. although there
were large stacks in sight, the sharpers
were caught in time to prevent their
plans from being carried out.
The woman didn't sail. The two
men embarked at Southampton and
grew friendly with the milionaires, IL
though they held aloof from the card
room. There was lively party every
night from the day the vessel sailed,
William Woodward, attache of the
United States embassy in London. and
Dr. F. w. Chaplin being in the party.
On the third day the two sharpers,
with every show of reluctance, allowed
themselves to be induced to take part
in the game. They were gentlemanIy
looking fellows, and had succeeded in
ingratiating themselves into the favor
of young Vanderbilt and others.
The game started, and at first the
two sharpers lost. Their losses were
not heavy, however, and in a shoct
time they began to recoup. Several
loungers in the card room were look
ing on at the game SUDDENLY one of
ing on at the game Suddenly one of
between the two men. He watched,
became convinced they ere cheating,
and left the room. In few minutes
Captain Richter entered
This game will have to stop" he
said
The players looked up, startled. Van
derbilt. Belmont. Goelet and two others
were amazed and angry. The two
sharpers were evidently disturbed.
These two men are cheating" said
the captain, pointing to the two cuI-
prits. ''They are professional card
sharps."
Then turning to them he added per-
emptorily:
Leave this room and keep out of it
during the trip. You will take part in
no more games"
The two men slung away, and their
intended victims thereafter took no
strangers into their games.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. %
Conductor Collins, of the Chicago
division of the Big Four, had time"
with Carrie Nation on his yesterday
down trip from the Windy City. She
caught the train at Kankakee and
started a trough house" before she
was well seated, because the door of
the smoking car had been left open,
and the smoke was waited back to
her. She attempted to dispossess a
travelling man of his pipe, which he
had been smoking. and which was too
hot to pocket The travelling man
intercepte her grab, and after tus-
sic recovered his property. Then
Carrie began prancing up and doWn
the ,aisles, lecturing and trying to sell
hatchets Finally she made her way
into the smoking compartment of the
sleeper, where four men were smoking
and playing cards. She demanded
that the game cease at once, and that
the pipes be shelved, but the players
politely refused to obey She de-
bounced card playing as the vilest of
the vile. and her loud talk aroused
every sleeper in the coach, and the
