Worlds Oldest Man Dead.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., March 2. Noah Raby is dead here. He lacked one month of being 132 years old and was an inmate of the Piscataway poor house. AS far as any records go he was at the time of his death the oldest man in the world. Raby had been in the poorhouse for nearly fifty years and was an object of such curiosity that visitors were only allowed to see him on one day of the month, as large number of callers seriously taxed his strength

UNCLE HENRY ON REFORM

 This world ain't just as would make 1t if
 I could have my way; Life ain't exactly as I'd take 1t, f could
 have my say; I know a hundred things at least that ]
 would change about If could rule Ter man and beast and hing
 the troubles out, And yit, now since you ask, l don't know
 just where I'd begin There be so much to judge and weigh be- fore you started in. I know things ain't just as I'd like 'em, l know there's evil here, But where and when and how to strike em
 and make 'em disappear There's where the rub comes in; somehow
 the minute that you start To change affairs, why, there's a row, ana
 things git ripped apart: The more think I'd do if all this world was
 just my own The more there seems to be that I'd just
 kind of let alone. The men that find the wrongs and fight 'ern.
 as far as can find. Don't seem to git much, when they right
 'em, but kicks from them behind; I'd like to help along some way to fix things
 here below, So only doin' right would pay and sin would
 have to go; But, seein' how the ones who change things
 here are hammered at, ! guess I'll just be good myself and let it
 go at that. -s. F. Riser. in Chicago Record-Herald.

Alcohol added to the ice water tn which cold compressors are dipped will make these much more ef1cacious. Where cold cloths are applied to the head or throat they should be as light as possible. Muslin or cheesecloth makes the best compressors.

i Nl lie Works:
 Gentlemen-The undersigned are a committee of the Waterbury Business
 Mems association duly appointed to
 consider the question of the local trol- ley facilities, especially in reference
 to pending applications for extensions
 and track privileges. We have giv- en considera tion to the questions in
 volved, both from the standpoint of the business man and the taxpayer, having in mind the good of the city 1 in which We live and do business. l We find in our inquiries that there
 is not a city in New England which
 has so poor trolley system as Wa
 terbury has, while many smaller
 places have much better systems and 1 far better connections by trolley with outside points. We are of the opinion that this is not the company's s fault. While we do not argue that
 your, board and the board of alder
 men should granaal applications for
 extensions and track privileges with
 out imposing proper restrictions, we 1 feel that the tendency in Waterbury
 for some years past has been to load
 down trolley applications with more
 conditions than We are legally en.
 titled to demand, with the result that 1 much needed improvements in the
 service were not made.
 We learn that the applications
 pending are of two classes, the first Of which comprises the applications l for turnouts or switches which are de- sired for the purpose of enabling the company to maintain q seven minute l schedule through the city for the ben eft of existing traffic. These appli-
 cations. Va believe. ghnuld hs kindlsy ls.
