Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-05-07

The First division, A. O. H., will meet tonight. Members are requested to. attend prepared to make returns for combination books and concert tickets.
 Special forecast for Connecticut: Fair in south, rain and cooler in north portions tonight; Friday partly cloudy; fresh northwesterly winds becoming northedster!y.
 George Abbott has given up the con- tracting business and gone farming and says he likes it. The only drawback one encounters in the rural district is the difficulty experienced in securing desirable help. You can't get man in Waterbury and. the situation is much the same no matter where you go. MT Abbott went to New York last week in the hope of being able to employ a few men from among the thousands that are landing there right along, but he failed to find man who cared to try his luck on a farm in Connecticut. There were over two hundred applica- tiOns for farm help ahead of his and while they promised to send somebody along later he%does not expect any re- lief from that direction. Most of the new corners are met by friends who take care of them and the rest are heading for the west where they find no trouble in getting good wages and steady employment.

What you are, but

 yer than good tea or cof-
 kind we sell is the o. K.
 Speaking of drinking reminds Of those beautiful new green drink ping fountains which are being placed all over the city. They are all right, too. They were very much needed. The city officials who are responsible for having them purchased should and will receive the best wishes of the people. Of course they'll be a detri- ment to the public ill some cases; for instance, if 8 milkman finds his supply is running short in the early morning hours he is liable to stop and get a drink and goodness only knows what will happen to the milk then ana there However, we are much pleased to see the fountains, as a rule, which are being placed in close proximity to saloons-the closer the better. Now, when we say the best drink is tea or coffee we don't mean any old trasn which you are liable to get at some stores simply because you are going to get thousand or more red, white, blue or green stamps with it. No, ST. rec, we mean the nice tasting, sweet, clean, new season, warranted good quality, which is the only kind we sell.

The Liberal Leader Has Many Questions
ia Ask 5s+

= TO ASK.
London, Feb. 17.-When the house Of
commons assembled for the transaction
of, business this afternoon the speaker,
Mr.. Gully, read the kings speech to a
somewhat slim public. Mr.. Grafton, con-
sentative. moved the address in reply to
the speech and in so doing expressed
satisfaction at the termination Of the
Venezuelan blockade and at the fact that
throughout the difficult affair cordial re-
lations had been maintained with the
United States.
Mr.. Greville, conservative, seconded the
motion. He referred, in so doing, to the
Irish land bill in terms which elected
approving cheers from the Irish mem
bers.
The liberal leader, Sir Henry Camp
bell-Bannernan, who was loudly cheered,
followed. He said he desired information
on the subjects of Venezuela and Mace
donna and on the great question Of the
settlement of affairs in South Africa In
Venezuela he said the cloud had happily
passed, but it was a black cloud and one
which many people thought might have
been avoided. 1t might have had danger
Gus consequences, and it was the duty Of
the coutnryIto inquire how. it had been
led into such a difficulty.
