A CHANCE FOR THE OLD MASTER:
Mrs. Newrlch Was Dissatisfied with
American Painters.

American Painters.
A reputation for wit is like a rolling
snowfall, 1t gathers from without
more than it develops from within, re-
marks an eastern writer. He who
possesses the reputation for witty
stories shall have witty stories added
to him, so to speak. Just so with
the great national type. the American
parvenu. There Is a charming woman
in Washington who betrays her begin
nings sometimes, so all the malaprop-
isms current are told OF her.
And here Is another. 1t Is probably
quite as true as some of the others.
An acquaintance met the lady on the
deck Of an outgoing steamer. Two Of
her daughters were with her.
What, off for Europe again? What
Is the errand this time?"
I'm going to have the dear girls
portraits painted"
why not in America"
"Oh. I've tried all the American ar
lists in vain. Now, we're going over
to see what the old masters can do

The labor department of the United States is a tail tied to the department of commerce dog. The few rich ex- ploiters asked for a cabinet depart ment to look after their interests, and the department of labor was given under its control, just as if labor were a part and parcel of the machinery of commerce, says an exchange. There are sixty millions of our people be- longing to the laboring class and they have no department of government to look to their interest, but the ten mil lions engaged in commerce can have the whole government at their dispos, al When will the laboring people wake up?

Perhaps the most interesting discus sion or resolution that was heard dur ing the sessions of the educational convention in Boston recently, says one writer, was the separate and un- official declaration of the 800 New York school teachers in favor or larger salaries. Practically the whole body of the salaried class feel severe ly the pinch of prosperity, soto say The cost of living has been greatly 1n- creased. The housekeeper shudders as she compares her present weekly bills with those of a few years ago. All sorts Of meat, poultry and vegeta- bles are almost too high to look at The income is the same; the outgo Is many per cent, in some cases and To- calities as much as 50 per cent, more than it was. The laborers strike or their wages have been increased vol untarily. The salaried man and Wo- man have to bear it, but feel a little aggrieved There is no strike for them, but they cannot help being struck by the meagreness of their slice of the general boom.

UNUSUAL CONDITIONS.
MoIineux's Wife Wants Recompense
 for Mental Anguish.

Molineux's Wife Wants RecompenSe
 for Mental Anguish.
 Mrs Blanche Chesebrough, the for mer wife of Roland B. Molineux, is planning to sue General Edward Moli- neux, the young mans father for $10O,- GOO damages for mental anguish while Molineux stood charged with the mur- der of Kate J. Adams. Alexander 0. Young, Mrs Chesebrough's attorney, stated today that he is now preparing the papers in the suit
 He also stated that General Moli- neux had been informed of the contem- plated suit and the facts on which it is based, and several conferences have been held between Mir Young and Gen eral Molineuxs attorney looking to settlement of the case out of court. The basis of Mrs Molineux's contemplated suit is unique in litigation. At the first glance she appears to be demand ing payment for the discharge of her duties of a wife, for she asks the $1OO,- 900 on the ground that she stood by her husband during the four years trial to which he was subjected.
 But, Mrs Molineux says, during all that time, she was subject to the will and whim of the Molineux family, who promised her she would be well provided for if she stood by Roland. She performed her part of the con- tract, she asserts, but in so doing she was made to feel always her utter de- pendence upon the generals bounty, and at the same time the contempt in which she was held by all of Hollands people.
 She was given plainly to understand that while she was Roland's wife, none of his relations recognized her or would tolerate her as a relative, so that in addition to having to bear the mental torture to which she was sub- jected by reason of her husbands detention in jail on charge of mur- der, she was compelled to submit to the ignomy which was thrust upon her by her husbands people.
 In consequence of her constancy, Mrs Molineux adds, which was large ly exploited in the newspapers, Moli- neuxs final acquittal in large measure was due. After his liberation life with him was impossible, whereupon Mrs, Molineux removed to Sioux Falls where her divorce was granted short while ago.

Attorney James B. Russell, one of Waterbury's most conservative men and a leading lawyer struck the key note at the democratic rally in City hall Tuesday night Speaking of At torney Lynch, who is candidate for the position of mayor, he said some very nice things about the candidate. He also said q am taxpayer and if thought you men were going to turn the city upside down if MT Lynch gets into office wouldn't be here tonight know MT Lynch and know he has nothing of the anarchist type about him. Waterbury ought to be governed by the workingmen. You keep us all. We could do nothing without you.'' MT Russell takes the proper view of the situation. The democrats have two able candidates in the race, and no matter which one of them wins the city's affairs will be in good hands, Democrats shouldn't allow republicans or disgruntled and grouty members of their own party to disrupt the demo cratic organization. If MT Lynch has the greater number of followers he is the man for the position, and the Democrat knows that if the people of Waterbury place him in the mayors office he will conduct the city's affairs in a manner that will be for the good and welfare of all Of us, and we ven- ture the prediction that it will be 8 most successful administration.

THE MONTH OF TISRf
People of the Jewish Faith Are Pre-
 1larinr For If

paring For It
 The Jewish population here, in common with Jews the world over, are making great preparations for the month of T1sri, during which are cele- brated the three most important holy days in the Jewish year. The first of them, Rosh Ha-Shana. falls on Tues day, September p, and marks the commencement of the 5.664th Jewish year. The first ten days of their new year are days of penitence and cul- nainate in the Day of Atonement. Five days later the Feast of the Taber- nacles-the Jewish Thanksgiving day is observed
 One of the distinguishing features of the Jewish New Year ds the blow ing of the "shofar," a straight horn or antelope or wild goat. The trumpet call is designed to serve as a summons 10 ah Israelites to enter upon the work or sancdhcation and prepare for the Day of Atonement. It is a profound Jewish belief that on this day-New Year rs-that mems deeds are weighed ana their destinies determined.
 The Day of Atonement is one of na- uonal humiliation. the only fast day commanded in the Mosaic law. and the 1 most widely observed of the different 1, Jewish holidays The most liberal as well as the orthodox enter into the ob- servance. They suspend business, re- fraun from work of all kinds and gen 1 eIal Quiet pervades their communities. The orthodox Jew. on the day pre- cedlng the Atonement Day, provides 1 hlmseH with fowl, properly slain by the rabbi. He takes 1t by the legs. and with arms uplifted, swings the fowl nine times over the heads of him. self, his family and company, at the same time praying to God that the sins Which they have been guilty of during 1 the year may enter the fowl. He then presents the fowl to some poor, deserv. Ing person, with a gift according to his | means, and the peculiar form of ser I vice is at an end.
 A feast Drecedes the fast, which is not broken until sunset the next day. I The Feast of the Tabernacles begins i've days later and is a season of re- Jolclng for eight days. During this feast the stranger, a widow or an or phan are received at the house of a l Jew with the greatest cordiaIty. The l feast is held at this season of the year as 1t is partly a thanksgiving after the ln-gathering of the harvest.
