WATERVlLLE MAN DROWNED.
Sank in Naugatuck River Near Ameri-
 can Pin Factory.

Sauk III NduSdLuch INlFSr NSaE AuCLF F can Pin Factory. Martin Lowig, an employe of the American Pin Go at Waterville, was drowned yesterday afternoon in the Naugatuck river near the factory. The water was high and the current strong, but Lowig thought he would have no trouble in rowing to the opposite side to milk some cows, something he had been in the habit of doing for some time past. The plan of propelling the boat is similar to that used on ferry and instead of the oars the person in the boat reaches from one side to the other by pulling on a strong wire rope. When Lowig got into the boat, accom- panied by his dog, people who were on the ground warned him Of the risk he was running, but the man said there was no danger and started to haul himself out. When some distance from the starting point the water rocked the boat fright fully tipping 1t so that Lowig realized his perilous position and grasped the wire and clung to it with all his might
 The dog jumped and swan to a place of safety while those on the bank tried to reach the man who was struggling on the wire, but before anything could be done to help him he became exhaust ed and sank out of sight. In making an effort to reach him James Burns waded out so far that he came near be ing carried away. It is evident that Lowig did not know how to swim for he made no effort to save himself in that manner. He was married, but had not been living with his wife.
 Charles Winslow, with whom he boarded, reported the case to the po- lice. Medical Examiner Crane was called, but could do nothing until the body Is found A search wac at once instituted, but on account of the high water no trace of the body could be discovered. It is probable that it was swept long distance down the rfver.
 Lowig was about 40 years old and came to this state from California some time ago. He had charge of the elevator at the pin shop and milked cows on Sunday for man who tended to them himself on week days.

Worshipers at the shrine of My Lady Nicotine will be interested in core spondent's method of filling a pipe, g method from which he has obtained results greatly superior to those yield ed by the old style. He places a wood en match down the center of the bowl, its lower end entering or covering the hole that leads to the stem, and, hold ing 1t in position with one finger, press es the tobacco firmly all round with the unsharpened end of a pencil. The match is then withdrawn, the pipe lighted up and the full flavor of the to- bacco extracted without waste.

AT SACRED HEART CHURCH.
The Feast Fittingly Celebrated With
 Solemn Vespers.


 Solemn Vespers.
 A larger congregation could have hardly crowded into the Sacred Heart church than the one present last night at the celebration of the feast of the Sacred Heart. The center aisles of the church were filled. with members of the Children of Mary. Sodality of the Blessed Virgin, Guards of the Sa- cred Heart and the Holy Name socie- ties. The Holy Name societies of other churches Were also represented, Solemn high vespers were celebrated, the following priests officiating: Cele- brant, Rev Father F1emming; deacon. Rev Father Sullivan; sub-deacon, Rev Father Sheehan; master Of ceremonies, Rev Father Fitzgerald. Rev Father Shelley was also present within the eanctuary. The altar was prettily dec orated with a profusion of palms, pot ted plants and cut flowers.
 There was reception of members into the Children of Mary, the Guards of the Sacred Heart and the Holy Name society. Rev Father Fitzgerald officiated. About twenty-five members were received into the first two soci- etIes and about fifteen in the Holy Name. The ceremony was very inter- esting.
 The Rev Father Loftus of Water town preached the sermon. He took as his textI 'sCome to me all ye that labor and are heavily burdened and I win refresh you" He referred to Gods love for the poor and the weak and the heavily burdened and Is all ways ready and desirous of assisting them if they only would seek his pro- tectfon. Troubles are frightened by the sufferers appealing to God. Always nave trust and confidence in him and they will be aided. The sermon was very interesting.
 A special feature of the services was the musical program. It was the best which has been rendered at the Sacred Heart church in some time Mercadante's vespers were sung The rendition of the ''Mag. nificat" was fine. NJ. J. McEvoy sang excellently "salve Regina" while the hymn to the Sacred Heart by Mrs Lu. cien Wolff and M J. Robinson was fine. The soloists were Miss Alice Cos. grove, Mrs J. H. Hurley, Miss Nellie :. Sutton, M. J. McFvoy. M. J. Robinson. : James W. Cassidy. M. F. Bvrnes. VII liam Hughes and Thomas Maher.

THE DAILY STATEMENT.
lays Trolley Company Was in a
Bad Predicament To-Day.

says Trolley Company Was 1n @
 Bad Predicament To-Day.
 srhe strikers executive committee is- sued the following statement this af- ternoon: ..-..
 tsWe are starting in to-day on our twenty-fourth week of the strike, this being the 163d day out.
 "The trolley company this morning found itself in ct predicament and the unusual sight Cf company pleading with its employees to remain at work instead of the reverse was the case. There is a trolley strike in Richmond, Va, and eight of the old strike breakers here were invited to go there and work at wage scale of $3 per day. They decided to go and so informed the com pany. Thereupon the company got down on it's knees, so to speak, ana pleaded with the men not to go ana leave them without men enough to man their cars. They offered the men $3 day to stay here and finally three of the eight accepted the proposltlon and remained. Five decided to stand by their first plan and have gone to Richmond. Citizens of Waterbury, what do you think of such situat1onf A company begging men to work Tor $3 day-strangers and non-residents rather than give citizens of the town which created it $2.25 per dayi And the chances are that they would have given more if the strike breakers held out.
 Several Waterbury people who have zone to west shore resorts in COnnect- cut have reported to us that If ever a IL 5@x1 oc over presented, it is portrayed in one Of the motormen on that line. When ever a Waterbury person boards his car, the fellow grows red to the roots of his hair and pulls bis cap down over his eyes. He Is ashamed of the posi- ton he is filling. The motorman is a fellow named Sickmund, who formerly ran a hotel here and who, when here, used to express his sympathy for our cause. He is now a strike breaker on the line between Bridgeport and New Haven, but his conscience ap- parently troubles him greatly.
 Forest park was opened on Satur-, day and we are informed that there were just ten people up there in the af tornoon. Of course the strike Is re- sponsible for this awful showing, and
 
 this pretty park should be obliged to suffer because the trolley company sees fit to stand out against fair re- quests from its employees.
 'SThe company is still showing indif- ference to public discomfort by not making any move toward bringing about peace and settlement of the ai- ready too old unpleasantness We are stiu doing business at the same old stand, ready at any time to do our full share and more to bring this thing to an end. Fair play is all we want, and the public evidently wants to see us get that
 rOur Shoulder to Shoulder base bah team has been taking things easy late ly but the boys are now limbering up and on next Saturday will go to Bridge port and play the strikers team down there. That will be a big attraction for Bridgeport. and if the day is favor able there will be big crowd on hand < Manager Sewell will be missed at that game, as he always was on hand in the past to bet on the Waterbury boys. But perhaps he may be there after all. Who knowsP The boys would give 0ia the glad hand. too"

How to Press Sleeves.

h pressing sleeves, which is the hane of the amateurs life, keep a wooden rolling pin for that purpose alone. In. sert in the sleeve, and the pressing of seams and wrists also is as easily done as though it were fat surface. Cover pin with flannel. Keep a heavy piece of flannel to lay over the ironing board when pressing wool goods. This pre- vents the shiny spots so objectionable in a finished garment.
