MARRIAGE NOTICE OFF COLOR.
Frank Hoffman and Mary McQuade
 Not Married by Father Slocum.

Not Married by Father Slocum.
 The announcement made in this mornings Republican that the marriage of Miss Mary McQuade of South Nor walk and Frank Hoffman of this city was solemnized yesterday afternoon by the Rev Father Slocum of the lm- maculate Conception parish, is one of those stray shots that turns up now and then in the newspapers, and all of them have their off days at that kind of business. No such parties were married or are known of at the lm- maculate Conception church. On in quiry q Democrat reporter learned that there are no afternoon marriages at this church except ill cases of extreme necessity, and that no parties are mar ried by any Catholic priest when the young woman belongs to another par ish. Such an act on the part of Cath ollie clergyman would be serious of fense against church discipline. Sup posing Mir Hoffman and his bride be- longed i'll the parish, the solemnizatlon of the marriage would have been inn possible in the afternoon. The ordinary scribe, however. often fails to note the distinction between the ceremony of marriage and the solemnization of mar riage. While reporters try to be gov erned by Dayy Crockett's motto, Be sure you are right and then go ahead, still there are many deviations from this, and necessarily so at times. Ere quently newspaper men are puzzled to decide whether it is safer to take chances of getting things mixed or give competitor an opportunity to boast of scoop. Once in while they blum der because they don't care to put themselves to the trouble of looking up the facts, but this is rarely true of Wa terbury reporters. As rule they aim to be accurate.

M'AILISTER. M. D.
Smallpox Nurse Made Big Showing
 at Atlantic City.


 Two letters have been received by Chief Egan, which will no doubt prove interesting. The first of these letters which are printed below, was answered by the chief. It wanted some infor- nation about man named McAllister. The chief wrote back that he wasn't doctor but had been secured as nurse at the isolation hospital during the smallpox epidemic, but owing to his interference with the liquids for the patients he was given place as cook later. The letters follow:
 Atlantic City, N. J., May ', 1902. Dear Sir: Would you kindly let me know if there is a man in Waterbury by the name of Hugh MacAllister, who resides at 169 North Main street. Would also like to know if he is all ssM. D." Will let you know full par ticulars after hearing from you. Would also like you 10 send me q copy of your daily paper. Respectfully

 Dear Sir: Thanks. Your reply was very prompt. The man MacAllister came here about three weeks ago, said he had charge of the pest house with about ST1 patients; that lie was also the city doctor for Waterbury; thar they had given him a months yaca- ton, paying him $50 per day. He began by giving prescriptions to differ ent ones in the house; then he visited several at some of the first class hotels receiving as high as $10 and SIP a visit. He spent it all, however Tor rum. He then started in making be Heve he intended renting a cottage had the agents taking him around to l great number of them and finally prom. ised to take one at $500 per season After running here about two weeks the man came to the conclusion he was fraud. He advertised for coach man and had that poor fellow running here every day until he gave it up in disgust. He went to a large stable here and engaged two stalls. Told the man his two horses and carriage would be down in few days. That was all
 
 impotence to drive up here about a week ago in a team; came in the house and asked us to look at it. We did but unfortunately for him. lady knew it right away as belonging to pr Bai- ley, and told him so. He said if was Dr Bailey's carriage. but the horses were his He loaned them to him. as his horses were sick. She went rich; down after supper and told Dr Bailey ie said 1t was his team and when he questioned his driver he told him that the gentleman had told him Dr Bailey said for him to try the horses. He left here Tuesday afternoon to be back in an hour to pay his board. He hasn't been here since.
 Mr Gadsby took your note to the Seaside to show the proprietor, as he thought he might give some of his pa tients something that might narnn them. He told MT Gadsby that the doctors here were hunting up his rec. ord, as they didn't believe he was a doctor, and that if he was they would find out if he was registered in the state of New Jersey. When he found out that they had written to Water bury he skipped the city Saturday morning. Told several he was going back to Waterbury again.
 He owes Mir Gadsby Sf5 for board He left an overcoat and a suit case which Mir Gadsby will hold on to. After he left this house he went around trying to give everyone in the house bad name. He may be crazy as some think he is, but am inclined to think he is more knave than fool He also said he is a grand officer in the Masons in Waterbury, which we also doubt didn't give my full name when wrote you before as there was man here who was a friend and we were afraid he might see the post mark Waterbury on the envelope and tell him. I have been here some three seasons with these people and they have never had such case in their house before.
 Hoping this letter may perhaps save some one in Waterbury from being duped, l remain, respectfully,

 According to Superintendent Bodine of the department of compulsory ed- ucation. 17,000 children under the age of Is were arrested in Chicago last year; large proportion of whom were exposed to the contaminating influences of the cell rooms of police stations.

our trustees would make instruction in this department compulsory. forcing each girl to take cooking at least one hour per week. If we would make bolder and broader strike at the digestion of our State, 1t would be the surest and best means to the end we seek. A prop erly cooked and dgestiblc meal Is most likely to produce digestible thought. or. in other words. proper cooking produces proper living or should do so. The two great murderers of our iand are the small slice of bacon in the skillet full of grease. and the soggy cake of corn bread, which comprise the daily breakfast of many of our people. Can any man so fed be en- unused over the education of his daugh ter? If the women all over our State could awaken to this demand of properly cooked food and could have their daugh- ters imbued with the idea. then would our State be physically stronger and moro capable of the higher intellectual growth. for which we strive. We are proud that our Industrial School is laboring along this line. and we are proud uf the teacher. whose impress upon her pupils here will be most surely felt in the fu- ture generations of our State. and we are glad that this little woman could so make her personality felt as to take seemingly and by tradition. the most humble of all arts and place it on the highest pinnacle of our educational scale.

FOR YOUR WELFARE. You lIs uIgpd to Mako hoalh Building Your First work
 This Month.
 PAINE'S CELERY
 COMPOUND Puts You in Condition to With stand the Enervating Effects
 of Hot Summer.

' If you are ailing, sick. or diseased, it is our earnest desire to interest you in your own personal welfare. We try to do this by simply urging you to make health building your first work this month, az efforts to banish disease are much more difficult when, in addition to physical sufferings. you are obliged to contend with the enervating effects of a hot sum- mer. Medical men know well that a sick person when treated with the proper medicine in May, has a much better chance for life and health than Is possible In July or August.
 The tncalculable amount of good that Paine's Celery Compound is now doing in making sick people we'll, should compel the attention of every thinking man and woman now in sickness and suffering.
 Faulty nutrition of the nervous system Is the direct cause of nervous debility, headaches. dyspepsia. and neuralgia-.ail- ments that thousands are now suffering From. When people have blood that is pale, watery, and full of impurities their nerves cannot assImilate food properly and derive nourishment from 1t.
 Paines Celery Compound used in May cleanses the blood, bestows greater nerve force. regulates the stomach and bowels, arouses healthy appetite. and brings about normal action of the dormant liver. Paine's Celery Compound in every case gives positive and permanent cure. It Is the most thoroughly honest medi- cine that run down and sickly men and women can employ. Its life-giving effect on nerves and blood Is truly marvellous.

There are rumors of cheaper fuel gas, a consumation devoutly to be wished. But even under the present conditions cooking with gas is a boon-a blessing the value of which does not reach the average home, and if done properly is not expensive.
 Every woman regards ''the gas man" as her personal and natural born enemy, but she should not therefore deprive of modern times.
 In the first place every woman should insist upon having her fuel gas metre placed where it will be easy of access; and then she should learn to inteligently read it. It is no more difficult task than telling the time by a clock. She should not, however, get on this subject the Tit tie learning that is d dangerous thing" and which would only serve the purpose of annyoing the gas man" when he makes his monthly rounds; for from his reading there is no appeal. and faulty metre is no more an excuse in his eyes than ignorance is in the eyes of the law.
 It is not advised that she master the metre to protect herself from the gas man" reading but from her own and the cooks useles waste of gas. It is not the gas that Is used but the gas that Is wasted that swells the gas bill. and makes the gas man happy. It is not the gas that is wasted, but the gas that is used that cooks the dinner.
 The average cook will light the stove. then prepare her dinner She will bring A vessel to boiling point then keep the flame at full blast to sustain it, when the tiniest jet, one-sixth of the quantity, will accomplish the work AS well She Will have the dish water boiling at full tilt, while the family is breakfasting when the proper way would be to clear on tbe table eat her own breakfast, set tbines in rights. stack the dishes; then light the gas and in five minutes the water is ready saving three-quarters or an hour consumption of gas.
 All this increases the gas bill put adds not a whit to the savor of the meal
 Gas is no more expensive than coal or wood for cooking purposes and the clean Illness. even heat and qaickncss of II makes everything to be said in its favor

While a guest at one of these luncheons is impressed with the social side. knowing that these girls are being fitted to take their places among the first of the land. vet there is a far better value to all this kind and that Is the educational value. To have this value impressed upon the minds of her pupils, has been the great aim of the teacher of this department. and the value of this department in the future history of our State can not be estimated.

 When we compare the comforts, con- veniences, even luxuries. of the present day kitchen with the old-time cheerful, but difficult" apartment devoted to the culinary part of the home economy, it is small wonder that we have tendency to regard the former with some degree of horror. The time and labor-saving ap- pliances of the present day give in every three days an extra twenty-four hours of time to devote to rest or other duties or pleasures; the expense saving methods of today give some change from every dollar expended. while the wholesome daintiness of the food of the modern kitchen. if 1t does not prolong life. at least makes it the more worth living.
 But there is one old-time laborious over heating, dirt-accumulating institution to which we-or the majority of us-cline with a tenacity equal to the belief in old superstitions into the inheritance of which we are born: That is the coal or wood as a fuel for the cooking department. in defence of which there Is not word to be said.
 At certain stages of its growth the inhabitants of every city have right to expect and demand certain living com forts and conveniences which to an aggre- sation of human beings come to be properly looked upon as necessities. Among these are, chiefly, light. heat, water, mail facilities. reasonably accep- table street transportation and telephonic communication. Every town passes through a period of discomfort from in sufficiency in these lines the result or the fact that the power Is placed in the hands of a few to dictate terms ana quality. Every city outsrows that stage and comes into her own. Montgomery is struggling to come into her own in a few of these matters.

The parlor was correspondingly decorated in white, re- Iieved by green, and on the kind faces assembled to wish the contracting parties happiness, tears and smiles fought for mastery.
