ROBERT EnnET
The Members of Cast Are Working
 Hard to Make the Play Success.

Another good rehearsal was held in City hall last night of the young ladies and gentlemen who are to present that popular Irish drama, Robert Emmet," on St PatTick's night. Everything is running along smoothly and everybody IS working day and night to perfect himself or herself in the various parts. Ihe drama will be presented better than it was ever even attempted in this city. 1t was some years ago that the first presentation of the play was made in this city, when Father Dug gan was pastor of St Patrick's parish. At the time of that presentation City hall was crowded to the doors and the performance was very much en- joyed. While 1t will be impossible to get such a crowd into the hall this time, because of the new fire regula- tions, yet there is not the slightest doubt but that every seat will be taken and many will be clamoring for ad- mission. Naturally some will be dis appointed and all who purchase tick cts in advance will be the lucky ones.
 Tomorrow the costumes will be se-' lected in one of the best costume houses in the state, and at the re- hearsaI tomorrow evening each char acter may be assigned his or her own. It will be necessary for all who take part In the production, singers. dancers, soldiers, peasants, and all the members of the cast, to be prsent to- morrow evening at o'clock sharp in City hall. There will be but three more stage rehearsals, and the finish ing touches will be put on tomorrow evening.

Credit Argument.

Our strong position in the credit Of --------------- is matter attained by un- daunted persistence in matters Of quality ants littleness of price, backed by the most liberal and generous cred + proposition ever offered to the pub lic by the Guarantee Credit Clothing Co.
 Anybody can buy for cash! That's easy There's no special honor in the fact that one can walk into a store lay down in cold cash the full price asked for an article and so become the possessor. Come to think of it it's the coldest sort of a proposition. a mere transaction. To have credit given you Is entirely different. Makes you feel as though you were entitled 10 1t. What great honor 1t k to bo able to enter as store. select such goods as you want and arrange to pay for them in amounts and at times that are convenient to YOU. What q great dignity there is to credit. and how far reaching its beneficial effects.
 A large per cent of the worlds business owes it's existence to this great comodity- To buy for cash, then. is very ordinary. But to buy on credit is always distinction that ono should be proud of.

She was taken ill yes terday morning and despite the ef- forts of medical aid the malady devel- oped rapidly and successfully combat ed the skill of the physicians and car ried the patient away about o'clock last evening. As a last resort an in- cision was made in the patient s throat and a tube inserted, but this, too proved of no avail.

MAN RUNNING WILD.
satrick Danaher of Naugatuck Gauss
 ed Excitement This Mornins.

Save me from the army of flies. They wish to initiate me but I don't want to be initiated" Shouting such wild exclamations and running up and down through Exchange place. acting in manner to cause much fear to the many people passing through Exchange place, Patrick Dan aher of Naugatuck, whose mind is de- mented, caused much excitement this morning about 7.45 o'clock. He would dash madly from one place to another. shouting in wild incoherent voice. Suddenly he would stop and falling on his knees would start to pray. But his prayers were interrupted by Off, Ger bowling, who with the aid of Officer Halpin, arrested him. The police authorities in Naugatuck were at once notified. They stated that Danaher had left Naugatuck for Wa terbury on trolley car early this morning. Danaher is said to have made life miserable for the conductor on the ear. He told him that he wished to bring him to a saloon and murder him. Danaher left the car near Washington street. Then he rushed along South Main street, stop ping now and then to look back as if he thought some person was pursu- ing him.
 After Danaher was locked up he remained quiet for an hour or two. Tben he acted as if he was sick Jo- seph Stevens, doorman at the police station, was engaged In assisting him and in giving him a glass of water when Danaherl shot out his fist and landed on Stevens's face and at the same time kicked him. Officer Stew ems attempted to subdue him and Dalsnher seized "a jar and began to batter the officer with it. Chief Egan and Officer Bowling went to Stevens's assistance and after hard tussle sue tceeded in putting the handcuffs on him and tying, his legs. Tn the midst of the lively combat Danaher seized the leg of Officer Dowling's trousers in his mouth, took a big slice out and tore them for about six inches along the seam. Later he was taken to the almshouse in :an express wa gon by Officers Bowling and Stevens.
 Danaher, it is said, escaped from the insane retreat at Middletown about two months ago. He may be recommitted.

 Office of Temporary Examiner of

 South Manchester, Conn, February 25, 1904. Hon John Blair, Town Clerk of Wa
 terbury.
 Dear Sir-I think ought to con- graduate you and the town of Wa terbury on the fine condition in which find the records of the town. The books are in excellent condition. wish that I could say as much for the vault in which they are kept. 1t is not pleasant thing for me to call any set of town officials to task for conditions surrounding the record of flee for which they are in any way responsible, but unless I did at this time make most earnest protest against the conditions under which you are compelled to keep the records in your charge, l should most certain ly be lax in the performance of my duty. I do not consider the vault in which the town records are kept a safe place for their safe keeping Such examination as I was able to give the building impressed me with the idea that a fire therein would re- suit in the loss of, all the records. Wood construction in vault is all wrong. I doubt the efficacy of the door to the vault and I most certain ly condemn the. wooden window frame in the vault. had no oppor- tunity to ascertain the thickness of the roof of the vault, but from such examinat ton as I could give it, I, should judge that 1t was not of such thickness or structural strength as to insure safety. This matter should at once be taken up by your officials and the present vault put into as good state as possible or new one built. The probate office has a fine oneA and the town should furnish equally good facilities for the safe keeping of its records. The narrow escape from a total loss in Meriden should prove a warning to other towns to do all possible to safeguard their public records.
 Very truly yours.

In Memorlam.

10 sad but loving remembrance OF
our dear mother, Sallie A Watkin'
son, who died May 25th, 1904. 4
One sad and lonely month has passed
away,
But we miss her more and more
each day,
Tongue can never tell nor words ex
press,
How we mise that vacant chair.
She has braved cold Jordan's pillows,
And has passed through deaths
alarms.
She is free from every sorrow,
la the Savior's loving arms.
No. at death she did not falter,
For her Savior led the way,
And she reached the golden mansion.
Just about the break OF day.
A precious one from US has gone,
A voice we loved Is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
We miss thee from our home, dear
We miss thee from thy place,
A shadow over our home Is cast.
We miss thee everywhere.
