A vender of cooking utensils came to
grief, at Coogan's pharmacy on Bald.
win street yesterday. The agent had
been in that district before and during
his rounds called upon Mrs Coogan and
got an order for a set of his famous
ire and acid proof cooking articles.
He called to deliver them yesterday,
but before paying it was decided to
put the goods to test in the drug
store. As soon as they got little heat
they turned into various shapes. one
of them wrecking and letting the con.
tents spill about the place. The agent
skipped with all the speed he could
muster, and while it is believed that
he is operating some place else about
town, still it is not likely that he will
visit the south end for some time.
Some of the women are watching for
| him with field glasses.
| Peddlers appear to be reaping q rich
harvest in Waterbury, and If they keep
increasing they will soon drive out the
regular dealers. It must make a man
mad whorentsa store and pays taxes on
what stock he has in it, too, when he
looks out through his window and sees
a peddler doing profitable business on
the public streets. There is good
deal of this going on and many have a
notion that what comes out OF these
old carts is better than what they can
be got for the same price in the stores.
But the peddler is not the public nui
sance he used to be few years ago.
when his coming into street was her
aided by a succession of yells that
could be heard half mile away. In
stead OF shouting at prospective Gus
toners now he steps into the houses
and inquiries in q voice not loud enough
to disturb the baby, if it happens to be
taking a nap, what's wanted to-day
They don't pound their feet against
the verandas or thrust their heads into
windows and swear at people who re-
fuse to buy any more, and for these
reasons we don't hear anybody finding
fault about them, though, of course.
regular dealers cannot be expected to
hail their presence with delight
