A ROYAL WEDDING.

The royal wedding oI the crown prince of Japan, some four years ago, was celebrated with national rejoic- ing, writes Florence EIdridge in her article on "Yoshihito, Grown Prince of Japan" in Pearson's. The city of Tokio was transformed into veritable fair ground with arches of flowers, fes- tivals, numerous processions and con- gratulatory emblems. A new postage stamp was issued to commemorate the happy day. Thousands of people thronged the streets and gathered to see the imperial procession pass, stand ing respectfully with heads reverently bowed when the cortege appeared.
 The costumes worn by the imperial bride and bridegroom during the cere- mony were fashioned after the court dresses of centuries ago. The dress of the crown prince was flowing robe of satin, with silken brooches seven feet in length, that trailed on the ground behind him as he walked, an outer coat of crepe, embroidered on sleeves, back and breast with his crest. With this he wore a cap of black, vanished material, bound by a flllet of gold, with a long stream CT off stiff wire ribbon hanging from the back; this cap was kept in place by light-colored silk cord which, passing once over the top of the head, was brought down and tied under the chin .e--..

THE DEMOCRATS.
Will Get Together at Once and Make Arrangements
 for Primaries.

John Brophy, chairman of the democratic town committee, said to- day that there would be meeting tonight of at least two of the ward committees, the fourth and the fifth, and possibly of one or two of the otll- CTS. At the present time the ward committees consist of three members. 1t Is proposed to increase the num- Der to five, who will select a chair man from among themselves By this plan it is hoped to have good working committee in each ward. As yet no committee has been appointed in the second ward. At the meeting tonight there may be general dis
 cussion of proposed plans for the for
 nation of a new democratic organic zation.
 Chairman Brophy is in favor of the direct primary. He thinks that the different conventions should be done away with and that the voters should be allowed to select their own candi- dates for the different offices. Take, for instance. the primaries to select delegates to a convention to choose delegates to the state convention, which in turn appoints delegates to the national convention. He would do away with the local conventions and allow the voters at the primaries l to select delegates to the state con-s vention. This plan is looked upon with much favor by, many people. In-I stead of a convention to nominate al mayor, city clerk and the other city officers he would have the people nominate them at the direct primar- 1 les.
 s In speaking of the national conyen~ tion of the party, 1t is said that Wa terbury has three men who would be willing to represent this state at the national convention. The men are Dr John F. Hayes, Judge Lowe and
 Hubert Rigney. There will be a live
 ly contest among these candidates for the position.
 Little has been heard Of late about the Economic league. Many persons are anxious to know if it is still ill
 existence and if it intends to figure l in the next primaries of the demo
 cratic party. A member Of the league states that no meeting of the league 1 has been held since the last election. He said, however, that a meeting of 1 the officers might be called at any 1 time and then the future of the
 league would be determined. But it is probable that the league will not | figure dn the future primaries as q 1 distinct organization, but many of the members will be heard from in. 1 dividually.

NO CRAFT THERE
Committee at Chicago Uses Whitewash and Says
 Policemen Are o. K.

Chicago, March <S.-After three re-
 visions, the report Of the municipal graft committee has been given to
 the city council Alderman E. k.
 Hermann, chairman of the commit tee, handed in the document, which
 concludes five months of investigation
 into charges of city hall corruption. The report finds there is no graft
 in Chicago-that IS. no systematic
 graft-such as obtains i'll other cities. Graft in Chicago is only sporadic The report also makes recommenda- tions for the reform of public evils.
 The inyast1Sation was started when Mayor Harrison, in an inter- view last fall, said that if he were to weed out corTuptionists he would
 have grafters jumping out of every window of the city hall
 The results-before the relFbrt was
 issued were the suspension or dis charge of more than fifty city en- ployes, the indictment of a dozen and the resignation of numerous others. In the matter of measures for the ! suppression Of vice the report of the
 committee takes issue with several
 of the reform movements which are now in the public eye The report favors all night saloons in localities adjacent to nocturnal industries, and as a solution of the pEoblems arising
 from the social evil, advocates the SC
 gregation Of the Ted light resorts in
 certain quarters of the city to be de
 nominated by the chief of police. The Chicago police, states the re- port, compare fayorably with the
 police officers of other cities, but lax lty in the discipline of the depart ment> is only too apparent.

BALFOUR EXPLAINS.
Policy of Kings Government is No the Taxation of Food.

London, March S.-Two most inter. esting questions we're answered by Premier Balfour in to-day's parlia- mentary papers giving replies to ques- tions.
 The first referred to fiscal matters, and MT Balfour categorically said ''The declared policy of his majesty s government does not include the tax ation of food and it Is not proposed to deal with the fiscal question during the currency of the present parIia- ment"
 The second raised the wide uues- tion of the use of neutral ports by belligerents~ John l.. Walton, liberal, who asked the question, referred to the use which Russian warships re- gently made and are still making of the ports of Gandia. Suez and Port Said and suggested the desirability of communicating to the neutral powers possessing seaboard or trade routes between Great Britain and the east, particularly the Mediterranean and the Red sea, the views of his males tvs government as to the duties of neutrals in regard to the treatment of warships of belligerents seeking to use neutral ports in connection with operations tnterrupting trading ships of neutral powers.
 Mr Balfour, while not explainine the governments attitude, admitted that the points raised were of the greatest international importance and said they were receivin" tho atten- ton of the government

The trial of Willis vandemark, charged with perjury in the case in which he was an accused last spring,
 began in the superior court this morn ing before Judge Ralph Wheeler of New London.
 All of the eight boys except James Quinn and William Costello were brought up from jail and held in the county commissioners room until court opened. Morrissette was also present.
 Attorneys O'Neill, Kennedy and Danaher represented the defense.
 Judge Wheeler sustained the states demurrer to the defendants plea, as follows:
 Defendants plea, res Judicate, is held insufficient and the demurrer is sustained for the reasons stated in paragraphs 1, 4, and of said de- murrer. It is adjudged that the de- fendant plead over R. WHEELER, Judge. March s. 1904 "Plead over'' means that the accus- ed be put to plea again. The demur- Ter appears fully in the Democrat of last Friday. The complaint was long and tedious embodying, as it did, the greater part of the complaint in the conspiracy cases out of which the present one arose. Vandemark declined to plead on the advice of counsel, and this ap- peared to somewhat surprise the court. However, it was decided that a plea of not Guilty should go on the record
 l, Mir O'Neill then ordered that a copy of the evidence be furnished the de- fense and also that the accused's wit nesses be put on the states subpoena. Prosecutor Kellogg objected to this and said that it was evident the ac- cused could afford to pay for what he asked; to which Mir O'NeiIl replied that the matter of evidence and wit nesses was quite an important one to the accused, more so, he thought, than counsel to certain extent and he
 would prefer to forego his own fee 1 rather than be obliged to forego some witnesses.
 The court said he would decide the matter when it would arise Mr O'Neill then requested that in- stead of calling the jurors i'll the usual way their names be placed in a hat. He thought there could be no obdec- tion to this and said he made the sug- gestion because they may have been arranged as they were on the list for some purpose, MT Kellogg said he had no objection to the suggestion. The court ruled that the regular list be called in the usual way, and after that he would determine the other point. There were forty names on the total list and the defense were allowed four challenges.
 Harry Brooks, farmer in Cheshire, was the first juror called. He was
 asked if he had read of the original cases, if he belonged to any labor
 union, if he had any prejudice for or against unions CT union men. to which

The Yankee Scored,

A London paper, speaking of the American invasion," relates that an enterprising Yankee came over to Eng land and decided to open a shop in Bir- mingham. He obtained premises next door to man who also kept a shop of the same description, but was not very pushing in his business methods. The methods of the Yankee, however, caused the older trader to wake up, and, with the spirit of originality strong upon him, he affixed a notice over his shop with the words: "Estab- Ished 50 years" painted in large let ters. Next day the Yankee replied to this, with notice over his own store to this effect: Established yesterday; no old stock

 Fred l.. Baker, carpenter and farmer, also from Cheshire, was ac- cepted. John L.. Rice, Beacon Falls, said he had formed an opinion on the cases, but it would not debar him from giving the accused a fair trial.

A labor union is not necessarily detriment tC the community, he said. For instance the Building Trades union of New York city Is a detriment to that com munity and he thought it would be bet ter off without that organization. He formed this opinion from what he hat read in the New York Sun. He die not See in that paper, however, tha1 the union ill question succeeded il raising wages $2 or $3 a week, but ad mitted that increase in wages would necessarily benefit him as a grocer an6 other business people as we'll as the community in general.
