ATTORNEY MINORS NOTICE.
Will Find Out if Guarantee Title Go
 Is Exceeding Rights.

Attorney H. w. Minor and those SUD- porting him in his protestation against the monopoly of the town records and the old probate office by the Waterbury Guarantee Title Go, seem determined to fight out this question of taking pos session of city property without any apparent right The following is a copy of a notice which will explain itself. It was served this afternoon, and similar copy was also served upon Town Clerk Brett:
 January g. 1902. MT Thomas F. McMahon, Agent for
 the City Hall, City:
 Dear Sir:-I desire to call your at tention to the fact that certain per sons claiming to represent a corpora ton known as the Waterbury Land Title Guarantee Corporation have ta- ken possession of the room formerly occupied by the probate court, as though the corporation were a tenant I am informed that it is not a tenant and is paying no rent therefor. Kindly let me know at your earliest convan- fence what you intend to do in the matter. Yours truly,
 HENRY w. MINOR.

WILL MANAGE HER PROPERTY.
Joseph Derwin and Wife Have Avalied Themselves of Legal Privilege.

Joseph Derwin and Wife Have Availed
 Themselves of Legal Privilege.
 Josenh Derwin and his wife Ann, living on Abbott avenue, have avalied themselves of the law which releases each from the obligations of the other and renders each exempt from the consequences of any act of the other. This agreement was entered into to- day, the papers in the matter having been filed with the probate court and the town clerk for record, as required by law. MT and Mrs Derwin having been married before 1877, when mar ried woman was not entirely emanci- pated. could not enter into business contracts without the consent of her husband and in general way could not legally do a number of things she is now privileged and entitled to do in her own name and right. Had Mrs G. s. Parsons availed herself of thIs privilege she would not have been sub- iected to the lengthy litigation that followed the closing of the bank that bore her husbands name, she having married before 1877.
 The Derwins own considerable prop- erty and Mrs Derwin owning the ma-
 
 act many matters on her own respon- sibility. it was impossible for her to do so without first obtaining from her husband that right To every transa T.. tion that required the signing of her name, her husbands was also neces- sary, and to obtain this was not al- ways easy or convenient in matters that required dispatch especially.
 Some time after 1877 a law was passed which provided that married women. by entering into agreements with their husbands, that which MT and Mrs Derwin have entered into, were restored to individual rights and absolved their husbands from the con- sequences of their business transac- tions. Now Mrs Derwin can be her own real estate dealer. This is a right which very few women who were nar- ried prior to 1877 have availed them selves of. So far as known only one other couple entered into such an agreement in this city within the past ten years.

BOARD OF RELIEF.
Taxpayers Should Call Around and
 Consult With Them.

Consult With Them.
 Have you called to see the board of relief yet2 If not, it might pay you to do so before they adjourn. Their final session will be held on January p. They will also be in their offices on the 18th, 18th, 17th, 20th, 23d and 24th from 2 to in the afternoon and from to 9 in the evening. Some Of the rate payers are putting up big howl over the way their taxes have been raised, and they are not all poor people, either. One man told De1ao- crat reporter that when he saw tie amount they had assessed him for. it almost stopped his breath, and added that he would not advise people af- fected with heart failure to call there. He thinks they had better wait until they hear from the collector This is not so. It is q good idea to drop III and see what @lle assessors have done with your list, any way, and then if you are dissatisfied you can state your case to the board of relief If they do not do anything for you, the aldermen may listen to you later on. Some of the aldermen claim that people who neglect to state their grievances to the board of relief should be tgbated witE scant consideration when they appear before the aldermen.

 It may be a month or so before George H. Gloves is given an answer to his offer to purchase Charles Mil ler's interests in the Randolph-Clowes company. MT Miller is ill the south and may remain there for a month or more. The annoyance he was Sub- jected to by having to attend court and answer a thousand questions which to him seemed the height of nonsense, but to his lawyers were quite important, and so they afterward proved, preyed heavily on his natural good humor and jolly disposition and few days after the supreme court decided the contest ill his favor ne fled south away from courts and judges and all their technical and tedious verbosity.

Do We Lose Ali Moral Sense
While We are Dreaming?

Nav sleep be dreamless and moral?
That il may be dreamless will be
answered promptly i'll the affirmative
by most persons on the ground of per
sona1 experience. Yet many authori
ties. such as SIT Benjamin Brodie, Sir
Henry Holland, Goodwin and DR.. John
Reid. have held that sleepers who as
sert on waking that they have not
dreamed are mistaken. In the Scottish
Medical and Surgical Journal Sir Ar
thur Mitchell aftirms that these writer's
are correct The writer of a notice in
the British Medical Journal says that
supholders of the theory of a dream
less slumber will be comfOrted in find
ing that nothing of the nature of ac'
tual proof is offered by Sir Arthur
Mitchell" This, indeed, he admits as
he expressly states that he does not
eypect To be able to do more than show
that his theory lis possibly if not pro
bably correct" and that he desires to
bring the matter into prominence.
With regard to the proposition that
continuous dreaming possibly occurs,
the author may fairly claim to have es-
tablished a case.
Six Arthur Mitchell first attacks the
idea of dreamess slumber Many per-
SONS when awakened from sleep assert
very positively that they have not been
dreaming and yet, later on, remem-
Der that they have done SO after all.
In a large number of cases such peo.
ple may never be able to remember
at all.
The absence of a knowledge of hav-
ing dreamed furnishes no proof that
dreams have not taken place. The
watcher by the bedside of sleeping
person may have what he regards as
satisfactory evidence that the person
is dreaming, yet that person, when the
sleep ends, may feel quite positive
that dreams have not taken place. In
the direct support of his theory the au-
thor can not be said to be very con-
yincing nor from the nature of his sub
ject is it possible that he could be.
Several resolute observers he says.

ever failed to ask themselves imr
mediately en- awakening if they had
dreamt or not and they nearly always
get satisfying affirmative answer.
In many such cases the details OF
the dream were completely gone, but
they knew that dream had occurred.
II, then. the mental processes con,
tinue both during sleep and while We
are awake, it might naturally be sup
posed that the brain would become
worn out Such dreaming, or sleep
thinking" however, according to the
author is not to be considered as at
fOrding no rest. On the contrary, by
TIE withdrawal of will during sleep
this form of thought is, SO to speak,
left free to sport. and accordingly re-
freshment actually comes from the
change. not wearneSs. Similarly, de-
lirium is merely another form of this
thinking without the control of the
will Further, on such hypothesis a
reason might perhaps be found to eX-
plain why raving may go on for
considerable period without ordinary
sleep.
Some persons, again, are never real
y wide awake, and their thinking is
normally of this disordered character.
Into this class Sir Arthur Mitchell
would even place the man in brown
study" although surely one would
rather look upon this condition as a
concentration Of thought and very
clearly under the direction of the will.
Sir Arthur Mitchell also touches on
ether interesting points. All dream
thinking is incoherent and purposeless
in character. Consequently all stories
CT intricate mathematical problems
having been solved during sleep he re-
garded absolutely as myths. In the
same way he considers none of the
reported sOmnambuistic feats will
bear scientific investigation. In stat
ing that there is often loss of moral
sense during dreams even in the most
neral people, the author is in agree
ment with Miss Power Cobbe. Ac.
counts. however. of dreams must be re-
ceived with caution. With this GER
tainly all will agree.

s7lGROWTH OF SPIRITUALISMl&- \


to the few settlers that would meet at
her home to investigate the teachings.
The first public meetings were held in
the fall of '99 at the hall over the Gill
more drug store. At that time there
We're only about ten active members.
The society increased and the au-
dlences grew so large that 1t was
necessary to procure larger hall,
where the meetings opened in the fall
af 1900. The meetings we're exceed
ingly successful during the winter, as
seating capacity<was out of the ques-
tion and very often standing room
was not to be had. 1t was thought
best, if possible, to hold the first meet
ings in the city hall this winter so all
who wished to learn more about the
beautiful teaching wculd not have to
stand during the services.
In the spring of '99 Rev. Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. Hates, OF Philadelphia,
came to the rescue of the little society
and made them a chartered society of
the State of Minneso ota with q member
ship of twenty-three active members.
At the present time there are about
forty members and upwards of $50
or 200 actual believers in the religion
in and around the city.
Last fall Mrs. Ted Smith received
her ordination papers and is licensed
to preach the gospel OF Spiritualism,
officiate at funerals and perform mar
riage ceremonies.
