CHAIR MAKING PLANT
Together With Stone Crushing Will Furnish Employment to Occupants.

Whatever one may think of the plan to open chair repairing department
 at the Brookside home, and also set up
 the stone crusher on ,--e town farm, it
 cannot be denied that it shows an eff
 fort to econoniZe and save q dollar for
 the taxpayers. Although these projects
 have been under way for time and
 might be said to be now i'll operation, very little has been said about them, but the preliminary work was given due attention and the whole plan looks well and may prove profitable to the city without intilcting a hardship upon any inmate of the institution. MT Combellack of the Boys club will look up the chairs and the repairs will be made at the Brookside home, the institution receiving 35 cents for each
 chair which goes in out of order and comes out with q new bottom. The department of charities invests nothing ill the business, so that no special ap, lpropriation will be required to embark ill the enterprise, and no matter what way it turns out the public cannot
 lose anything, while there is | chance of the business becoming profitable and netting something handsome i'll the rounds of the year. Nobody not
 able to work will be forced into the occupation. While nothing definite has
 been done in that direction it Is safe
 to state that if the new departure pays the city court will be asked to senc some folks to the BrooRsfde home who otherwise would have to go to New
 Haven, and when able bodied men and
 women asked to be maiatained at the
 home they will not be taken on the list until they agree to perform such labor ill thechair making department as the management may find them capable of performing. No doubt many would prefer this plan to going there and be charge upon the public.
 The stone crusher will furnish work for as many able bodied men as are sent to the Brookside home from time to time and in addition to improving the farm may result in showing that the proposition to bond the city for $200, 0,OO0, one-half of which was intend- ed to be used for surface hardening, is something that can be deferred for q time, probably indefinitely. without in- fiicting any inconvenience to owners of vehicles and others who favor the per- manent improvement Of all the streets of the city by bonding. One of the commissioners toldia representative of this paper that cthAf aim of the board of charities wasoto get something to do for people who might not be able to secure employment elsewhere and are willing to do all in their power to main tain themselves at anything the de- partmentl of charities may put them to do. He hoped nobody would regard it as a scheme to get work out of peo. pie who are past their labor, and who for one reason or another had to fall back on the cold hand of charity for living after they had ceased to be source of revenue to themselves or anybody else. The poor will be cared for as usual. but people who are able to render some service in return for what tbay receive from the public win Joe required to do so. This he consid- cred eminently fair and nothing more than justice to those who give.

TeIephone in Jun ole

Abyssinia is being wired Some 1000 miles of telephone line have been put up and as much more is being laid. The work is no joke. The rains and the poles fell. The white ants ate up large collection of wooden poles. Then iron ones were put up, which the simple na- tive liked so we'll that he took them home to use in his business. The negus stopped the amusement by proclaimina death to the pole pilferers. But the royal mandate cannot prevent the Ban- darlog, the monkey people, from swing. ing in the wires or what Is much moro delightful-the elephant from scratch ing himself, against the poles. The telephone pole is scratching post for elephants. Thus does civilization pro- vide home comforts for the jungle peo- ple. e.--nyerybody's Magazine

PLuRALITY ELECTS.

New Haven. Oct 2o.--Political speakers for both parties who are can wasting the state have discovered that the general impression is held every where that i'll the coming election for state officers majority will be needed to elect. forgetting that the law was changed in 1902 and that it now pro- vides that plurality shall elect An other erroneous impression prevails that the success of one officer on the state ticket, for instance the governor, will carry the entire party ticket for state officers. Section 1870 of the Gen. eraI Statutes. revision of 1902. says:
 .'In the election for governor, lieu tenant governor, secretary, treasurer, comptroller and attorney general the person receiving the highest number ot votes shall be declared elected. If no person has a plurality of the votes for any of the said offices. the general assembly shall choose said officer
 The rule of pluralities takes the place of the rule of majority to elect.

The intended victim was not seriously hurt by the fluid, but the automobilists escaped without leaving a trace of their identity, and the police are won dering whether the incident means a new method of attack upon them in their war against violators of the speed law

''I have seen many quaint hats, writes correspondent, "but the quaintest was 8 summer straw sported by an Englishman at Boulogne about four years ago He boasted that there was always flavor of royalty about it. It seems that King Edward, when he was prince of Wales, was rather fond of iced drinks, and used to absorb them, French fashion, through straw. This loyal subject followed the prince about for a couple of years, collecting the straws he had used, and when he had secured enough for the purpose had them made into the hat of which he was so proud. Not a straw in it, my dear sir, he used to say, that hasn't touched the royal lips and helped to duench the royal thirst ,

TWO MORE BIG RALLIES.
Democrats Will Have Hoke Smith Here This Week
 Caucus To-Night to Name Candidate for Senator ,

The adjourned democratic senatorial convention will be held i'll the city court room tonight for the purpose of nominating a seAator to run against II. H. Peck in the fifteenth district. It has been said that the district Is So strongly republican that no democrat could be found willing to enter the race, but this isn't so. On the contrary more than half q dozen war horses or the party, men who have been m the harness for years and served the city in various capacities, stand ready to try conclusions with MT Peck. AmonG the democrats talked of for the nomi, nation. is c. B. Webster, who has been. identified with the democracy of Wa sterbury since 1S43. He served two years in the general assembly, tweive years in the city government, ten as alderman and one as councilman. lie also acted as chairman of the hnance committee, served as assessor and was for years connected with the board or education. If Webster can't beat Peck it would be folly to try to head hliil of with any other candidate.
 The democrats are very active Just now. and expect to hold at least two more rallies before election, one next Thursday night in the Auditorium ana another on the eve of the battle. me Hon John Seymour of New York, com missioner of patents under Cieveland, and the Hon Hoke Smith of Georgla, secretary of the interior under CleVe- land will be the speakers, and croWd- ed house is looked for. It Is, under stood that ex-Goyernor Waller WlIi De one of the speakers at the rally to pc held the night before election. The IeN publicans never were sure of carrying Waterbury. but they had more nope of winning a month ago than they at inc present time. It seems the more the subject is aired the worse the situ- ation becomes of the party of hign' prices The aim is to get some one to divert attention from the real questlon by reciting q lot of funny stories. ana it is expected that the Hon MT Barbour will do the trick.
 The republican state central com mittee is after the Italian vote ana wants every elector of that national1- ty to hear John Novel; of New York i'll Concordia hall tomorrow night.
 The Hon Joseph Barbour of Hart ford will speak in Waterbury for the republicans Thursday night. MT Ban bour is great joker and the repuDil- cans knowing that the public likes 10 be jollied couldn't employ the service of a better man for that business than Joe Barbour.
