Waterbury Democrat., 1902-05-10

Company As field day takes ptaee on Monday, May 19, week from next Monday,
 Waterbury can boast of at least one ..warm baby.'' for to-day when nearly everybody you met had on their overcoats, some having the col lars. turned up in order that they might keep warm, one man was seen to parade through the center with white straw hat and light summer suit of clothes on. He seemed to be unmindful of the weather and what people said.
 4 pleasing entertainment was giv- en by the pupils of the two higher rooms at St Mary's school yesterday afternoon. The affair was in the na- ture of musicale to celebrate the anniversary of Composer Mozart There was a program of twenty num- bers, including piano and mandolin solos and duets, vocal solos and chor- uses, and essays on Mozart. The af- fair was given under the direction of Sister Mary Mercy, the musical in structress at the school, and was con- ducted in such q manner as to reflect credit on all who took part in it.

Excitement

means to be aroused, getting into state of agitation, etc. We'll, our good citizens are getting all they want or excitement with the smallpox ep1dem- ic, our tax bills higher than ever be- fore, the summer right at hand ana no Hamilton park, (only In name), tue beef trust raising the dickens with the price of meat and the latest slap 1n tle face we've got is from Bridgeport. Our Waterbury baseball club went down to what is known as the Park City and Jim O'Rourke's pets didn [ do a thing but give them an unmerc1- full walloping to the tune of Il to z. Oh, what a shameI The first game of the season, to get beaten by Bridge port Well, we hope the Waterburys will follow the motto. "do unto others as they do unto you" Now, when excitement lands at your door you should be very careful that it doesn't knock your nerves into ''smithereens. Remember. we sell the kind of tea and coffee that is known as the real nerve tonic; we sell only the good quality and if made properly and par taken of freely, three times daily, we guarantee that no excitement, no mat ter how fierce will bother you in the least We are selling our finest qual- ity tub butter (and there's none bet ter) at 27 cents per pound. Buy pound and it will prove to you more than our space in this paper will per init us to say.

O-MORROK.

Tomorrow the Lord will be wor- shipped in the beauty of holiness and new clothes, especially new clothes. If the weather is fine the insides of the meeting houses will look like flower gardens, and the streets of the city will be gay and blooming. The lazy, the wise and the old owe vote of thanks to the beautiful beings who take so much pains to make themselves more than usually beautiful at Easter. They furnish a fine show, and they are gen. erous with 1t. It can be seen for the looking, and the lazy can look without too much Weariness, the wise can look with suitable reflections, and the old can look with interest and pleasing memories. We hope the beautiful be- ings will all be satisfied with them selves tomorrow, and with each other Perhaps they will look so well that they will hereafter be mentioned by the Chamber of Commerce as among the attractions Of New Haven.

UND ENI1BLY US EFUL.

They are paying much attention to the manufacture and use of alcohol in Germany as well as in France, and they are doing things in both countries which may we'll attract attention in this country. In Germany from potatoes and the crude molasses of the beet sugar factories alcohol is made in vast quantities for use in stoves, lamps, en- zines, motors, etc., taking the place of coal, gasoline, petroleum and other fu- els. A grade of alcohol suitable for power and heating purposes is sold at 1872 cents per gallon, and a better grade suited for lamps, motors, varnishes, etc, sells at from 21.7 to 20 cents per gallon. A large revenue is obtained by the government from pure alcohol used as a stimulant, as in this country, but for industrial purposes it is ''deratur- ized'' so as to be unfit for drinking. Certain articles, such as wood vinegar, benzol, toluol and pyridin, are mixed with it before it is allowed to get into the open market As thus treated some 3O,624, ,OOO gallons of cheap alcohol were used in the arts in 1901. The eheapness of alcohol is an object kept in view by the government, which looks to substituting it for other fuels. The confluence of Germany in the man ufacture of certain drugs, varnishes, dyes, etc, is a direct result. The use of alcohol to run engines, vehicles, etc, is now attracting great attention. AL ready the Fatherland leads in the va riety of engines and appliances of all sorts connected with the use of alcohol
 If alcohol isn't proven to be food there can be no doubt of it's usefulness as fuel With new supplies of oil and alcohol available perhaps the coal bar ons wont be quite as baronial as they have been lately.

 After the death of Charles Broad way Rouss and John Daniell the state- ment was printed that the former in earlier days slept in his store, and that the latter lived in a room in connection with his place of business,' said re- tired New York merchant. 1T do not know how many old merchants of New York slept in their stores when they were laying the foundations of their business, but know some of them did.
 Hotels and boarding houses were scarce and there were no clubs. I am speaking of merchants who were un- married. They had no bedsteads in their stores, but bunked on the counter.
 Tn winter they banked their fires in the old box stoves used in those days. took some blankets out of stock, spread them on the counter and retired for the night. Competition was pretty sharp then, and stores opened much earlier than they do now The merchant who bunked on his counter was ready for business sooner than the merchant who lived at home.

NEw HAVEN MORNING

The first robins and grackles' nests are always found in April, but nearer the end of the month. These, with the mourning dove and one or two other species, complete the list of birds whose nests we find before the first Of May.
 There is a charm about the first few nests we discover which is somehow wanting in the later ones. Just as the first hepaticas and the blood-roots thrill us as we bend to see them so the sight of the first birds nest with eggs makes the heart beat faster. La ter in the season, it requires some thing unusual to impress us strongly; surfeited as we gre with beauty our senses require something rare or strange to thrill them. But now, the commonest egg gives us great delight as we look upon it. We feel this de- light just once every spring, and think we feel it stronger every year; perhaps this is because by association we feel the accumulated delights Of the springs which have gone before.

 We kept open all night There was no regular hour for closing, it depended on business. Occasionally half dozen merchants in the vicinity would hold an informal meeting in the back of the store after we closed for the day.

SHE OUGHT To RE AN 1LDERMAN
 Before Woman was emancipated they used to say that she was ill the habit of jumping to conclusions, She doesn't ress we read about, but once in awhile there is an indication of a slight ten Chicago woman found herself fired by desire to help wrest her city from the control of unprincipled aldermen, and decided to offer herself as candidate for alderman in the nineteenth ward. She knew she ought to be an alder man and she knew that if she were elected she would justify those who might vote for her. She promised that if she were elected she would see that the town was kept spotlessly clean; that abundant schoolhouses were built; that methods of education were re- formed, and that ever so many wrongs were righted. Filled with these thoughts, as Lecturer Stoddard used to say, she didn't have any room for thinking that there might be a legal obstacle in her path. She was gently but firmly reminded by the corporation counsel that there was. He told her that until the law was changed it was not possible for woman to occupy a seat in Chicago's city council, and that her name could not be placed on the ballot.
 This woman ought to be an alderman There can be no doubt about that Her call is clear one. The fact that she didn't stop to ask whether she could be before she became a candidate wasn't really jump to a conclusion It was simply mental hop or skip which in dicated zeal with some inadequacy of knowledge.

The Countess Aida von KrockoW writes from Germany to the Christian Register: Germans find that it pays to encourage peasants to free their fields of stones; the property rises in value taxing value The stones thrown into heaps by the roadside are purchased by the district road repairing commission. Poor men, who otherwise would have to be supported in almshouses, are hired to break these stones, and then are roadbeds. The money to pay the men is made by auctioneering off to the highest bidder the crops of the fruit trees that were planted on both sides of the highway when it was built and which are nourished well by the manure that falls along the road and is pushed at intervals by a road tender upon their roots. The. purchaser of the crop sees to it that his fruit is not stolen. The road commissioners have no both CT about that And, although the sale be by auction, it brings in considera- ble. Every .burgher knows how much, because the sales of highway fruit crops are published in the local news papers.

As evidence of this there are at present dozen or so high class Japanese young women in Tokio who ride, and they have organiz- ed riding club, to the astonishment of the whole nation.

The latest plan for raising the sunk en Maine proposes the erection of huge piers at the bow and the stern of the vessel, the summits of these piers to be joined by truss bridge. From this bridge chains are to be let down under meath the hull and then the entire ves- se can be lifted and repaired, so that it can be floated. If it shall be desired to keep the vessel it can be lowed to drydock; if not it can be taken out to the ocean and sunk. And it will cost only $1,000000 to find out.
