BUSINESS MEN MEET.
Are Going to Keep Waterbury Trade
 Right at Home.

Are Going to Keep Waterbury Trade Right at Home.
 The Business Mems association will hold an important meeting In the Dan- quet hall at the Odd Fellows build Ing tonight for the purpose of devising ways and means to aid the merchants that have been turned out to secure temporary quarters to conduct their business in until they have time to re- build. Invitations are being sent out to many of the manufacturers and business men of the city who are not members of the association asking them to attend the meeting and talk the matter over. The local merchants are up in arms over a rumor to the ef- feet that New Haven and Bridgeport are making efforts to secure the service of special train to Waterbury with view to getting hold of the trade of the merchants that have been tempor- ar1ly driven out of business. Seere- tary Hewitt of the State Business Mems association told q Democrat re- porter to-day that he did not believe any of the neighboring towns would do such thing, but that in case 1t should be attempted it would be we'll to make preparation to meet such a move. Thomas Kelly's proposition to allow the merchants to erect temporary quarters on the green is meeting with much favor and in all probability the matter will be discussed at the meet ing tonight. The session should be largely attended
 h looking up this matter further. the Democrat learned from o. A. Zig latzki. a prominent member of the Bus mess Mems association, that he had telephoned to K. I. Awater, president of the Business Mems association at New Haven, inquiring about this mat ter and had received a reply assuring him that there was absolutely no truth In the rumor so far as New Haven was concerned. MT Ziglatzki said he felt confident the same thing could be said with reference to Bridgeport. Anyway" said MT Ziglatzkf s.everv merchant who was burned out will be in position to take care of his trade as usual inside of 4S hours.''

DREAMLAAD IS A VERY QUEER
 pIApE m VlSIT.

| DREAA1T MT Camp and his CO landlords were the incest people I ever met
 I DREAMT my former landlords dropped the price of my rent SIG per month, but when awoke found they had dropped both the rent and myself.
 DREAAfT I couldn't sell tea or coffee anywhere only in Platt's block but 1 find I can sell more in Browns 5 block. Oh, what difference there Is fn doing business with a reasonable landlord.
 I DREAMT the assessors had begun to think a landlord who fired out good tenants so as to get more rent from cheap Scent sports should pay more taxes
 I DREAMT Grocer Hamilton and Harness Dealer Cutler had located in two nice stores situated on the Green but when 1 awoke I found them dolng business as usual at their own stands and nobody excited only the rent col Iector.
 DREASIT I saw the hat man sit ting in an arm chair dreaming and he was smiles from ear to ear.
 l DREAMT I saw Barber Smith using butcher knife to shave cer- tain agent whom we all know, and when I asked him why he used knife instead of a razor he gave me the wink and a look that nearly knocked me over.
 Be that as it may we assure you our tea and coffee is no dream; it's real good thing. If you doubt us try some this week; then you'll be the better judge. Remember, we give four bars of very fine. well-seasoned soap with each pound of our warranted good 50- cent Tea at

Let us have three cent granulated sugar. The announcement that the directors of the American Sugar Re- fning Co have increased the capital Of the corporation by the sum of S15, ,OOO.- GOO may have far-reaching significance for the American sugar consuming public. The increase in capital Is un- derstood to have been made in antici- patton of extensive plans for the de- yelopment of the raw sugar indus tries in Cuba, and if the statements of one who should be a good authority are to be accepted, marked reduction Tn the price of sugar will take place in l9O2.''

DATE FOR INAUGURATION.
Reasons Why Proposed Change Is Re.
qarded FavorabIv.

1t is apparent that the house judici-
airy committee does not intend to hur-
ry in its consideration of the proposed
amendment to the constitution by
which the term of the president may
be so heightened as to make the next
Inauguration come at later date. pre-
sumably the last Thursday of April,
instead of the 4th of March
The subject has many complica-
tons, and Judge Ray is acting wisely
in taking some time for elaboration.
OF the advantages of April for holiday
purposes over March, there can be no
dispute. The Washington public the
hotels, and the railroads are all in IA
vor of the change, for much the same
reason that people rejoice that the
declaration of independence was
signed at the opening of the summer
vacation season rather than on the 7th
of February. But the holiday aspects
OF inauguration are not the only ones
before congress. 1t is the starting
point of our political calendar.
Were its date changed, the date of
beginning a new congress would pre-
sumably be changed too although
some persons think this unnecessary.
The objection to postponing the date
of transition from one congress to the
next is that too much time now clans
es between an election and the actual
beginning of term of congressional
service.
The new members of the house who
are already "hustling'' for a renomina.
ton began their work in congress
only four or five months ago: they
had to wait thirteen months from the
election till they took their seats: and
although the proposed change need
not postpone the date of beginning of
actual service, and probably would
not, it would defer the nominal date
and the actual date when extra ses-
sicns were called This has led to the
proposal that congress shall meet in
January, instead of December. and
TINT the house elected the November
before shall then begin work. Just as
do most OF the state legislatures. saws
TIE New York Sun. Some such change
as this, many persons think. should
be part of the proposed res,rm.

this woman who was the peeress OF

the cape on a charge of forgery.
People in Europe refused to be-
lieve the charge, and it was attributed
to some huge mistake. 1t was then
learned that notes were in circulation
in south Africa bearing the signature
of Cecil Rhodes. When these notes
were presented at the banks they were
paid, but not until after some hesita-

, ton of Cecil Rhodes was called to the
fact that if he continued TO accept
and to pay the notes he would become
, legally an accomplice in their issue
! an accomplice in their forgery-and
no one could tell what amount this
mysterious commercial paper might
represent. Cecil Rhodes then ceased
, to pay them. AS a natural conse-
quence Princess -Radziwill was ar
rested on a charge of forgery The
death of Cecil Rhodes happened at
this juncture.
Those most intimate with Cecil
Rhodes assert that he was profoundly
moved when he learned what had
happened, that he was unable to OBJ
tain an avowal of the exact sums for
which his alleged forged signatures
were circulating in south Africa and
that the shock and suffering caused
by the forgeries fastened the crisis
that led to his death 1t should, never
theless, be borne in mind that all in
timacy between Cecil Rhodes and
Princess Radziwill had ceased for
some time prior to the issue of the
notes, and that at the time of his last
voyage to Europe Cecil Rhodes had
changed his ship in order to avoid
travelling on the same vessel as the
princess.

severe judgment will weigh upon the
reputation of man who was borne to
