Captain Charles III. Slocum, City
Treasurer, Hartford Conn:
Dear Sir:-I return herewith check
for $3.50 made payable to me for SER
vices rendered as member of
the charter commission. My appoint
ment was made without my knowi-
edge or consent, and under such cir
cumstances the honor was doubly an
preciated. The meeting of the COM
missioners, at which the proposed
charter was discussed In paragraph
form, shall remain as pleasant reccS.
lecttons through life I am satisfied
that the new charter provides better
and safer methods for the expenditure
of public money, the execution Of pub
lie improvements, the location of re-
sponsibility and provides tor the com
plete elimination OF party politics
from the public service. To be
identified with this new charter as
one of it's trainers is all the honor and
compensation I desire.
Respectfully,
PATRICK M'GOvERN.

PRICES ARE HIGH.
Farm Produce and Meats Going Up
with the Temperatur.

There appears to be lots or farm
produce in the markets. but as usual
at this season the price is very high
and now with the advance in the cost
Of meat people Of moderate means
will find it pretty hard to get hold OF
many nice things for the table. New
potatoes are forty-fve cents q peck;
four Or Eve small beets, eight cents;
a pound of meat that one can eat
without getting his teeth sharpened,
anywhere from eighteen TO twenty
Eve cents, and everything else in pro
portion, so that boarders and folks
who take meals out will be lucky II
they do not have to go down into their
jeans for a little more money than
they have been paying the past year
or two. The exorbitnnt price OF ev-
erything that enters into the cost OF
living is the strongest argument that
can be put forward in support OF high
er wages, but the wise heads tell us
that such a thing Is out of the ques-
tion. If this be true, people of mod
est means will have to content them
selves by reading about the nice
things in the papers and taking look
at them now and then in the show
windows A man who has been
housekeeping in Waterbury for near
" fifty years said to-day that we're
all living too high. His Father was
q manufacturer but ne never spent
half as much for the table as an or
binary working man does at the pres
ent time. He cited the price of let
tuce and other things in that line and
said that more than half the residents
of Waterbury could have this of thedr
own IL they were not too much car
ried away with the customs Of the age.
He thought the butchers wagon and
the peddler's cart all right for the
crowded centers. but couldn't see what
people wanted OF them who are In a
position to grow their own provisions.
The theory Of this looks very fatter-
ing, but when one tries to put it to a
practical test it does not always pan
out Just right. No matter how in
dustrious man may be he cannot go
far towards meeting the wants or a
house from the produce OF a small gar
den. No matter what the economists
say, wages will have to go up If the
trusts ana combines keep advancing
the prices Of commodities. If not,
there is bound to be trouble Mr.
Swift, of Lilley. Swift & Go, honored
waterbury by his presence yesterday
ana about the same time the meat re-
tailers learned Of jump in the whole
sale cost Of the article. The consum-
er will have to make up the differ
ence and If his income is not added
TO from some source it is plain that he
ID up against stiff game. After the
baker and the coal man have had
their innings. the shoe dealer and the
clothfer will be welcome to what will
be left Anyway, the prospect Of a
season an the shore is not bright for
the working man and his family and
If Mayor Elton wants to see them get
a little fresh air he should lose no
time in putting Hamilton park in
shape for outing parties, for that Is as
far as most Of the residents OF Water
bury will be able to go for the present.

The republicans of Waterbury, ana

LATHROPS TROUBLES.
Mrs Lathrop Paid Not over So for
Pair of Shoes Since Married.

The account books Of the big New
York dry goods firm of Lord & Taylor
nave begun to ngure in the contention
of Lathrop VS. Lathrop Saturday fur
Their dispositions in this case we're taken
In New York, the managers and book
keepers of the concern medoned teStf-
flying. Mrs Lathrop is suing her hus-
band for maintenance, and he claims
he is unable to support her, and she
insists that he paid almost all of her
bills and always paid them cheerfully.
AS an instance Of her alleged extrava-
gance he claims she had twenty pairs
of shoes in one year Mrs Lathrop to-
day said she had not that number OF
shoes in all her married life.
At the hearing Saturday Mr. Lathrop
refused to produce his bank book.
which Mrs Lathrop's counsel asked to
be allowed to see, to know who re-
ceived the goods which were bought
from Lord & Taylor in Mrs Lathrop's
name, but not received by her. 1t is
| believed that this is the vital part Of
this inquiry into Mr. Lathrop's
finances.
A year or SO before the L.athrops
parted Mr. Lathrop notified Lord &
Taylor to no longer trust his wife on
his account, and to charge no more
SA
by him personally. Mr. Lathrop's coun-
sci objected to producing the books of
the dry goods firm on the grounds that
he had right to do what he liked with
his money. it being his own. The books
were produced, however, and they
showed that a large number of ptrr-
chases had been made by Mr. LAthrop.
One item was q tailor made gown
which had to be altered ole or twice to
suit the wearer, who was not Mrs
L1athrop. This gown cost $51. The
price paid for numerous other articles,
all pertaining to women's wear, showed
they were OF grade superior to that
which Mrs Lathrop had been accus-
toned to wear.
Regarding the twenty pairs OF shoes
she is said to have had in one year, she
says she never wore pair during her
married life that cost more than So.

Monday, Hon. John H. Bank
head having defeated his oppo-

Have Enlarged Their Plant.

The Arkay Stave Il Heading
Co. have recently installed a new
boiler and put in additional ma
chinery which will nearly double
the capacity of their plant, and
Of course TO furnish the additional
amount of timber needed an in
creased force of laborers will be
required. It seems that labor is
a little scarce at this season of
the year, when operations on the
farms are being begun, so the
company decided to import hands.
Twenty-f1v men were sent by
steamer from New York to Mo-
bile, and Mr.. ]. T. Afsop, the
bookkeeper for the Arkay Stave
and Heading Company, met them
there and brought them To this
city, arriving here last Monday.
These men, most OF whom are
Russians, will not be employed at
the plant, but will be put in the
woods 10 get out the timber which
is to be worked up there. Where
the distance is not too great this
timber will be brought to Colum-
bus on wagons, and from points
which are farther away it will be
brought in by the railroads.

STOVE PLANT
Seeks Location Here. Another
Manufacturer is Favorably
Impressed with Local
Outlook.

In response to a call issued by
the officers of the Progressive
Union, quite number of citizens
and business men assembled at
the city hall Tuesday afternoon
to meet and talk with Mr.. d. r.
Sanders, who is desirous of es-
tablishing a stove factory here,
provided that he can secure the
proper encouragement from local
capitalists. Mr.. Sanders is pres
ident and general manager Of
| the Standard Stove Works, which
are now located at Fort Payne,
Ala, and will probably be re-
moved to this city in the event
that the proposition which he
makes is accepted. The propo-
sition that Mr.. Sanders makes is
that a company with capitaliza-
ton of S150,090 be formed, and
that the citizens Of Columbus sub
scribe $4,000 to said capital
stock, the remaining 500, 900 to
be taken by himself and partner.
According to the statements
made by Mr.. Sanders at the meet
ing Tuesday afternoon, his en-
terprise has enjoyed almost phe- /
nomenal prosperity since it
was established some eight yeers
ago. During the year 1896, the
first that the plant was in exist
ence, the total sales amounted to
only S23, 900, while for the year
just closed the sales reached S82,-
614, having almost quadrupled
themselves within six years time.
Mr.. Sanders fuTher stated that
the demand for his stoves was
greater than the plant could sup
ply, and that the sales could be
still further increased from year
to year.
The plant has a pay roll of
about 81 500 pea month, and in
addition the basket works, which
are also owned by Mr.. Sanders
and will be brought here with the
stove works, providing his prop
osition is accepted, have an
equally large pay roll, so that in i.
he event that the two plants are
secured the sum of $1,000 will
% added to the amount which
g paid out here for labor each
month.
Upen motion of Mr.. Jno. T.
Wood, President Weaver appoint
I'd a special committee to fully
investigate the matter and see
what could be done toward rails
ng the $4,000 necessary to be
subscribed by local capitalists,
and after an informal conference
vas had it was found that there
would be no trouble in raising the
desired, and it is pretty
safe te say that the plant will be
brought here. There may be,
however, some minor changes in
he original proposition as set
forth by Mr.. Sanders, and as that
gentleman wishes to consult his
partner before making these
changes, it wilf probably be sew
eral days before definite arrange
ments can be entered into.
