came to this country in 1910, and whose
family grew rich with the generations

Hoffman family has been an important
factor in politics, in commerce and in
society for many years. Dean Hoffman

Tho United Kingdom has nearly
twice as mary miners as there are in
the United States Germany also gives
work to more miners than this coun-

turns out great deal more iron and

The reason why we obtain a far greater
product with much smaller mining

ATT. CHASSIS.
His Spring Display of Millinery the
 Best Yet.

As eagerly awaited by the members of the fair sex as the season of spring, Is the annual spring opening of the millinery establishment of l. Chase. Like the birds Of the air, it is har- binger Of the arrival of that season, which is welcomed with open arms after such a winter as the one which has just departed. It is an event which Is anticipated with much pleasure by the women. 4t+.
 This years millinery opening took place yesterday and is being continued to-day and tomorrow. All day Wed nesday the store was crowded with women who desire to see the latest, the newest, the brightest and the pret- tiest in the millinery line. And what q stock there Is to select frolnl It was not remarkable that those present should cry out in admiration of the beautiful display of hats and find themselves at loss in regard to which one to select. Here are displayed large hats, small hats, round hats, flat hats, in fact, hats Of all shades and shapes. Among the leading hats of newest and latest designs are the feltsart, turnover, clover, torpedo and --e-Re. They are perfect dreams. The most prominent colors are champagne, brown, forest green and reseda green. Flower hats are much In fashion this year. The violet hat is very pretty. Among the flowers used extensively are the violets, forget-me-nots, June roses and flower wreaths.
 Lace hats will also be in much vogue this season. The fine line of faces in- cludes shaded Malines, medallions, fancy crowns, Dresden net and Mi mosa. The last is new lace Of very pretty design. The stock of gold braids, buckles, buttons and other ornaments is large and fine.
 The children are well taken care of in this store. Much attention is paid to their wants. The stock of chil- dren's caps and hats and infants caps and hats contains such variety of the prettiest hats as to suit the most fas- tidious child Or the most exacting par ent.
 A glance at the display of mourning goods and wells convinces the observer that these goods are the best in these lines. The mourning goods cannot be too highly praised.
 Women love to visit this store be- cause of the courteous treatment which they receive from the ever obliging clerks, who are always willing to show the stock to persons whether they wish to buy or not. French and Ger man speaking clerks are in attendance.

SYMPHONY PROGRAM
 FOR POLI'S THEATER.

There has been revived during the past winter an organization of instrl- mentalists who have been hard at work on a symphony program to be given at Poli's theater, Monday even ing, April 25. This orchestra is known as the Waterbury symphony orchestra. It is composed of some of Waterbury s leading players, assisted by as many from out of town as will be necessary to bring 1t up to the required standard for symphony work. The object of this orchestra is to encourage the study of the greatest masters and foster a love for the better class of music among the many young players growing up in our midst, besides bringing them in contact with many fine artists from New York and other cities, which is a great advantage to our local musicians. It is hoped the public will generously support the work they have undertaken and en- courage them to still greater effort in the seasons to come. Albert J. Blakes- ley is president, Mae Stanley, concert master. And Charles Farnham, conduc- tor The program, while composed of classical works, Is especially selected with view of interesting local au- dience. There will be enough variety to add spice and take away that unin- teresting dryness of which so many concert goers complain.

BOYS RODE HOME.
Judge Hun8erford Ordered Them Handed Over to Probation OfElcar.

James Josick, Thomas Bowman and James Daly, three youngsters, each about nine years old, took a ramble down the road yesterday and kept walking until they reached Naug- atuck. Not caring to make the homeward trip on foot. they went into the shed of the Naugatuck Manufac- turing Go in Union City, unhibched Manager Whitlock's horse, got into the carriage and drove to Waterbury. The case was reported to the police and at 7:3O o'clock last night Detec- hves Keegan and Kennaugh found the outfit In possession of Bowman. The others were rounded up and this morning the offenders were taken be- fore Judge Hungerford, who ordered Detective Keegan to bring them back to Waterbury and turn them over to Probation Officer Combellack. It is the old story. The boys will not at tend school and as result they are bound to get into trouble. The father of one of these boys spends about half his time 1atching him, but he can do nothing with him. Unless they reform soon they will wind up where they will be obliged to attend school and put in some hard work besides.

KNIGHTS ON THE JUMP.
Hustling to Make the Big Union Fair
 n %ureas@

With the passing of the days and the near approach of the time when the union fair of the Knights of Co., lumbus is to open, local Knights and others who are interested in the sue CesS of that event are huStling to make that success certain Everywhere throughout the city. ill store windows and public places, are evidences to in- dicate that the fair Is to be kept in the public mind. The fair, as has been announced several times already, will open in the City hall on Easter Mon- day evening, April 4, and continue during the week, closing with the dis tibution of prizes on Saturday even- ing.
 These prizes represent cash value of $1,500, the capital one being $1,000 in gold, and the smaller ones totalling $500 in money. There will be in ad- dition canvassable articles of almost the same value, bringing the total value of the fair articles to an amount approximating $3,O0O. This will rep resent, probably, the most valuable array of articles and money ever pre- scented at "a fair in Waterbury. The amusement features. too. will receive special attention from the members of the committee, it being intended to make the fair most enjoyable for all who visit 1t during the week.
 Tn connection with the arrange ments, and to stir up the membership to active work in the sale of combin- ation books. 1t is intended to hold "a public meeting ill the Knights hall on Sunday evening. Tn addition to bus dness, however, this meeting will be made enjoyable by concert and other features.

TO SITE SELECTED
 FOR COMFORT STATION

The committee in charge of selecting a site for the proposed comfort station will find 1t hard to locate any place without running counter with people who will find fault. While some may object to putting up a place of that sort on the green still 1t is generally admitted that it ought to go there and If it does 1t should stand on the east end of the park, near the fountain, and 1t should be built soon so that 1t may be available as soon as the fine weather opens. So far nothing has been heard about a public toilet room for ladies, although the necessity of such step is even greater than the other. During the summer months large numbers of women and children spend a few hours on the green, the only breathing spot within good dis- tance of the center, and neat toilet room for women and children only, would add greatly to the convenience of those who find the park a desirable place for outing purposes. At mod crate outlay a suitable place could be made for them by raising the band stand few feet higher, if it world mot be deemed wise to remove it alto- 0ether, and toilet rooms built under meath the structure. This Is some thing that has been talked of for sev- eral years past, but the appropriation never assumed tangible shape until last year when mainly through the effort of MT Whiting of the depart n1ent ofipublic works, plans were pre- pared for a public comfort station for men. and an appropriation made to meet the expense. While no provi- sion was made for women 1t was plain to those who had the other mat ter in hand that one was practically as much of necessity as the other. but 1t was thought that 1t would not be wise to aim at doing too much in that direction in the same year lest the whole scheme might fall through. Probably the present board may be able to see It's way to meeting both demands and thus give the public something which would be highly ap- preciated by the whole community.

WOULD BE A GREAT
 PUBLIC BENEFIT

The present administration should rake hold of the Liberty street pro 3ect and see if it can do anything with It. Talk about trolley roads, but a cross street from South Main street to Bank street would be greater public penent than an extension of the trol- ley into every street in town. The passageway along the bank of the Naugatuck river is in frightful condi. ton, still thousands pass along it daily, and while all complain, nobody goes about .remedying the evil in business like way. Thomas Kelly predicted the opening of that street during the reign of Thomas D. Barlow, but it didn't come, and instead of Improving, the sit uat1on there is growing worse. If 1t be true that the Elton administration can do anything 1t pleases, it should be asked to move in this matter as soon as it can get to 1t.

PUTTING RUBBISH
 IN THE CUTTER.

Police Officer Gabriel held up a boy today who was pushing rubbish across the sidewalk into the gutter on Bank street and told him that the street was not dumping ground, or something to that effect The youngster was very much surprised land acted as if he thought the officer was joking. The officer was right, but the boy didn't know 1t. There is an ordinance covering thts matter and 1t would be a good thing if it were en- forced in all parts of the town The sweeping of rubbish, including old papers. into the streets Is great nui- sance and while the police stop some of 1t here and there it is thought that they could do a httle better in that di- rection. and dn the end folks would put their rubbish in a receptacle kept for that purpose in the rear of their stores and residences instead of toss ing it into the gutters to be whirled here and there with the first gust of wind that comes along. There is a law, too, against the beating of rugs and carpets in the public streets, but some people take no notice of it.
