CHATFIGLD MONUMENT.
Waterbury Should Not Take Credit
for Column Erected by Family.

A writer who signs himself Civil
War, Vet does not think fayorably Of
the suggestion to place a monument to
Colonel Chatfield in the triangular
piece of land ut Grand and Bank
streets, because, he states, there is a
handsome monument to the memory
Of Colonel Chatfeld in Riverside GENE,
terry, and besides the Soldiers nlonu-
ment at the green was dedicated to
him and the rest of the soldiers who
went to the war from Waterbury.
.tCivil War Vet'' evidently knows that
the column erected to Colonel Cl1atffeld
In Riverside cemetery is tribute
from his own family, and that the
monument at the west end Of the
green has no more reference, to Col
onel Chatfield than to any other Wa
terbury soldier. 1t was erected lin
honor of the patriotism, and to per-
petuate the memory of the 900 brave
men who went forth from this town
to fight in the war for the Union, and
while Colonel Chatfield Is included in
that number many believe that he is
entitled to further recognition from his
townsmen and that this is an oppor-
tune time to take hold of the project

Mr.. Malby's address was chiefly de-
voted to state issues. He discussed at
length the progress of the state-in

that the Republican administrations OF
the past ten years had greatly Inn

the cause of good roads and of agricul-

WHICH BOARD PASSED
ON THIS NATTER

a harmless appearing little item III
one of the local papers yesterday COLI
tainS two bits of news that the puDlle
never got hold of before. One is that
the city would not allow the trolley
company to put down bricks between
its rails when West Main street was
being covered with sheet asphalt, and
the other reveals the glad tidings that
the present administration has granted
the desired permission. Probably this
is d good thing, but there are several
people in Waterbury who would ike
to see a record of the company's appli-
cation for permission to pave between
It's rails on West Main street. At the
time the work W: q under consideration
the board of public works first de-
cided upon sheet asphalt, but later
changed its mind and wanted to use
yitrified bricks, but the wise heads in
the aIdermanic chamber wouldn't
have it and the city got the asphalt.
SO that if the trolley people wanted to
nave with bricks they were treated in
common with others. But did they
ask such q favor? If so, to whom did
they apply? Did they make such q
reaI1est to the present administrator
If SO. what board passed upon it? 1t
never came before the aldermen. but
of course they rarely hear Of any pro-
iect until after it is we'll under way.
The heads of the present administra.
tion can do things and have them go
without consulting any board, but
such conduct, no matter how we'll dis
rected. would create a sensation IL
tried prior to the advent of the busi-
ness administration

sem1centenniaI OF Party's Birth OBJ
served at Saratoga.
SARATOGA, N Y, Sept. 49, Rain
which fell iii torrents did not prevent
a good attendance at the Republican
party's semicentennial. The desire to
see and hear such well known men as
Senators Charles w. Fairbanks and
Chauncey M. Depew attracted enough
people to fill nearly all the seats on the
floor Of the convention hall, with q
fair sprinkling in the gallery. The two
senators sat at the front of the plat
form with the presiding officer, and
both were loudly cheered when they
came In.
The celebration was brought about
by committee composed of surviving
delegates to the first regular Repub-
lican state convention issued from Al
bany, and arrangements for the cele-
bration originated with William
Barnes, ST., OF that city. Occupying
seats on the platform were 125 white
haired veterans who voted for John @.
Fremont
William Barnes, ST., opened the
meeting. Frederick w. Seward, son OF
the famous war secretary of state,
William Ell. Seward, presided. Besides
Senators DepeW and Fairbanks, among
the speakers were Murat Halstad, sec
rotary Of the first Republican national
convention, and Lieutenant John G..
Fremont, son of the first Republican
candidate for president

marches the officers should see that
the men get the right kind of food and
not one sandwich for each meal, as we

ASHEln'S PROPERTY.
Committee Appointed to Investigate
Vote Him Slsn namaaas

The raising of the sidewalk ON
: North Main street, between Kings
bury street and Spencer avenue,
some time ago, was done despite the
united objections of most of the
property owners. That was the sec
ond time the grade had been
changed and they had been put to
some expense in conforming to it
the first time. But they were deter
mined to fight this last change and
Paul Asheim took an appeal from the
action of the bureau of assessment,
which held that the benefits and dam
ages to the various properties We're
equal. The matter went to the dis
trict court and committee was ap-
pointed to inquire into the matter.
Yesterday this committee filed with
Clerk Root a report prepared by
Otis s. Northrop, chairman. The vi
tai part of the report follows:
The committee finds that ali the
matters alleged in the reasons of APP
peal are proven except the claim that
the property was permanently in
iured. The committee specifically
finds that the appellants property on
North Main street was injured by the
change in grade of the sidewalk on
the east side Of North Main street,
between Spencer and Kingsbury
streets, to the sum OF $50.
1.-THE committee feels that the
amount mentioned is sufficient to fix
up the Asheim property and make
IL in the same condition as formerly.
The committee further finds that
said property in no way was bene-
flied by. said change in the grade Of
the sidewalk =

doubtless responsible for present con-
ditionS. The padding has overheated
and compressed the muscles so long
that their expansion has been retarded.
The corset and all undergarments must
fit well, but should be loose enough to
permit perfect freedom. With summer
so near 1T is an easy matter to make
the new waists loose and full across
the bust in soft frills. bertha effects,
etc, which will disguise the lack of
form until the figure has improved. Be
particular to keep the diet simple and
nourishing and exercise freely in the
open air. Practice the following move
ments before retiring and again in the
morning after five minutes spent in
deep breathing: Grasp a light dumb
bell in both hands and slowly raise the
hands upward until they come together
over the head; then slowly lower to the
sides. Next bring the hands to center
front of chest and thrust the arms
straight out from the shoulder, not too
forcibly, and bring them back again.
This will strengthen the muscles
around the armpits and central part Of
the chest. To feed the shrunken tissues
apply pure skin food and rub it in
well before retiring, using the finger
tips only and with gentle pressure.
STYLES. FOR STOUT WOMEN
(Mrs. Henry M.).-It is difficult to
cover this subject in a limited space
because of the many things which may
be done by the stout woman to keep
her dress up to date and yet greatly
disguise her increasing bulk. You can
be strictly in style and yet not copy
literally the fashions of the seasons if
you will but adapt the mode to your
requirements. Careful changes here
and there will eliminate Objectionable
features or make the more becoming.
In short, use only the salient lines as
a basis to work on. Bulk about the
hips makes the 1890 skirt and hori-
zontal trimmings undesirable, for both
will accentuate apparent size. You
may, however, have modified 1880
skirt with narrow front panel, sides
and back gored with very scant full
ness over the hips, plated or dart
fitted into the belt. Many gored
