wANAA1AKER STORE.
Rusiness Man Who Talked With
 Manager Saws No.
Waterbury, Conn. Feb ZO, I9

Waterbury, Conn. Feb 26, l9O2. TO the Editor of the Democrat:
 The merchants of Waterbury ap- near to be very much interested in the rumor that we are going to have Wanamaker store in Waterbury. For fhe information of those who are ln- terested. the writer would say thar he was speaking with MT WanamaS- CTS manager a few weeks ago and heard him say that it would not pay under any circumstances for them to open a branch in so small city and so near New York. The difficulty experienced in getting competent managers was one reason; and the project in the building line, which was taking up the personal attention of MT Wanamaker. was given as an other reason. He said (with consid- erable emphasis) that anybody who entertained thought of MT Wana- maker coming into Waterbury to open a store was misinformed." do not believe that anything occurred since of sufficient importance to change his mind.
 Yours very truly,
 BUSINESS.

WARNER WON THE DAY.
His Senate of Sixty Resolution W
 Passed Yesterday.

His Senate of Sixty Resolution Was
 Passed Yesterday.
 The constitutional convention yes terday adopted the Warner resolution calling for q senate of 60, which was as follows:
 Resolved. That we are in favor of q senate of 60,based on principles already established.
 Delegate Warner said the resolution came from the small towns and had been agreed upon by them.
 Delegate Waller said it would have been more courteous if, the small towns having already adopted one resolution, the proposition for an en- larged senate had come from the dele gates from the larger places. He did not like dictation from the smaller places in a matter of representation which affected the larger places. By the dictation as to representation the small towns have created feeling against them among the people of the state.
 Delegate Hotchkiss of Prospect said he came from a small town and he wanted a senate of from 72 to S4, or even larger. He did not think that Delegate Warner represented the small towns ill saying they wanted a senate of GO.
 Delegate Hale of Portland claimed that the opposition to large senate came from the larger places. The del egates from those places pretended to represent those towns.
 Delegate Clark of Haddam said he was in favor of ''36."
 Delegate Brown of Norwich object ed to the statement of Delegate Hale i that the delegates from the larger places did not truly represent their con stituents.
 Delegate Hale said he meant to in suit nobody. What he meant to say was that the delegates from the larger places feared that a large sen ate would be accepted and that the sone from q town plan" i'll the house would be accepted with it. Delegates Osborn of New Haven and Northrop of Middletown also objected to the language used by Delegate Hale, the latter saying that his ex. planation was an insult.
 Delegate Guilfoile of Waterbury said that his people had been i'll favor of the Bennett plan for the house. AS that had not been adopted he had voted for a large senate in order that the people might be represented in one l branch.
 Delegate Gillette of Burlington ia l vored q senate of from 60 to 70. Delegate Smith of Winchester said it did not make any difference where q resolution came from. It's coming from 1 the country or from the city should not be against it. He favored the

BIGGEST IN WORLD.

 ing Office in Washington.

Will Be the New Government Print
 ing Office in Washington.
 If the shade of Herr Gutenberg could come back to earth when the new government printing office is completed and roam through that es- fablishment he would note a few changes in the art of which he is the father. The biggest printing shop In the world will be established un- der the roof of the mammoth build ing now nearing completion on North Capitol street.
 The printing bills of Uncle Sam are enormous. He is great promoter of publicity. He drives thousands of men day and night to turn out mill lions of copies of every kind of print ed document from a single leafiet to q fifty volume set of 600 page books. He publishes daily journal during a portion of the year. He loads en- tire cars with bulky documents and ships them thousands of miles to u,- fimately gladden. the heart of tbe ragman. He runs a bfndery and turns out marvels of leather and sat- in coverings. He has an Illustrating department and makes maps and beautiful half tone pictures.
 And all of this work has been done heretofore in a ramshackIe old shop so shaky that every workman has kept one eye on his case and the oth- CT on the nearest exit. But there will be no cause for criticism in the new building. It will be a marvel of convenience, safety and equipment.
 Everything that science and art have produced in the printing bust ness since Herr Guttenburg started the ball rolling will there be found Herr Guttenburg's shade might not understand it all. but he would doubt less approve the results.

 ner
 Delegate Davenport of Bridgeport said that he did not believe that the proposition for a large senate, coupled with the proposition for a single rep resentative from each town ill the house, would be ratified by the people. lie did not think that an increased senate would add q single vote in fa- vor of the other proposition. Large places that had lost one of their rep resentatives would not be ratified He urged that the senate should be pre- served as q conservative body for the best interests of the state He favor ed a senate of 36 with the provision that no town should ever have more than five senators.

Years ago. when Ridge street was first
opened, Costa bought six city lots at the
edge Of the Astoria swamps and built with
his own hands two-story frame cottage
on the line of the new street Most of
his land was under water and the barber
invited the dumping of ashes and OF her
refuse on his place and gradually saw
property:
Yes, it is true" he said yesterday.
i have paid more than $50 for making a
wall OF bottles around my little lake. II
