Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-01-28

The passing away Of General stephen W. Kellogg removes one of Waterbury's foremost citizens. man who has been identified with the towns interests for many years. He was leading lawyer and served sev- eral terms as United States congress- man Although incapacitated from real active work for some time. he kept in touch with the events of the day, and with voice and pen worked for The welfare of the city. He was one of those who labored increasingly for Water-bury's public building, and made several trips to Washington in its interest. 1t seems too bad that he could not have lived to have seen this building, in which he was 30 deeply interested, completed

KANSAS AND NEW YORK.
A Western View of Life i'm the Big
 City.

Have you ever longed to live in New York? Subscribe for a New York paper year and read it carefully, and you will get entirely over the longing. One third Of the citizens of New York are so mean that they would be lynched in Montana. They are not only thoroughly interruptions, b..t seem to be totally lacking in common sense
 Miss Eleanor Anderson, telegraph operator at $1O a week, says man she supposed to be J. Ogden Goelet, made love to her. J. Ogden Goelet Is very rich, and his sister """~ engaged to marry the Duke of Roxburghe. It never occurred to the girl as curious that the richest young man in New York should want to marry a tele- graph operator; the thought never oc- cured to her mother, or her father, either. GoeEet often called at the An derson girls home, but she never took pains to identify him. He gave the girl two checks for $100,0OO each. She thought this the most usual thing in the world. Finally it developed that the young man representing himself as Goelet was a married man named James Abeel.
 Now the Anderson girl is writing letters to the New York Journal say ing her heart is broken, and intimating that J. Ogden Goe1et had something to do with it. Old man Anderson also says there is something mighty funny about the case. ... There is. but he says this to impli- cate J. Ogden Goelet; the real funny thing about the. case is that the An dersons are acting so u.-d about it, in stead of being ashamed as they should be-
 And what is still worse, the New York Journal offers a reward of q thousand dollars for the apprehension Of James Abeel! The Journal sobs so much over the poor young girl that it's weeping can be heard for blocks. Another queer New York Incident: James II. Grant is 3S years old and ] married. He has eloped three times with Magdaline Schlamp, IS years old. He says he is as innocent as an unborn babe: that all he did was

TO CUT OR SPLIT GLASS.
If You Know How, it Can he Done
 Easily and Without Diamond.

It often occurs that glass tubes of various dimensions have to be cut where diamond is not at hand, as in shops and power plants where oil and water gauge tubes must be neatly filled. The usual method adopted is to llre small groove around the tube and separate the glass with sharp rap at the place weakened by the file. The result Is not always satisfactory, be cause the ends often break unevenly owing to the difficulty of making a straight groove with, the file. Better results are obtained when only a small incision is made with a file, just enough to cut through the enamel of the tube, on one side, and not all around. While the tube is still warm from the friction of the file, the tube is then taken between the thumbs and foretinger, the thumbs opposite the --le incision. and the foretingers around the tubing, close to but not covering the incision. Pressure of the thumbs invariably causes the tube to break in as straight and clean a line as though cut with diamond.
 Another method is to Use a fine saw blade (the finer toothed the better for saw is only another form of 8 --.e), and this should be kept fed with fine emery, carborundum or pulveriZed silica sand of hard grit moistened with camphor, oil, turpentine or water. A straight, steady and even stroke should be made, and when the work Is care fully done against q gauge the cut will be as true as though it had been ground. Nor IS even toothed blade necessary, if suitable hard and finely gritted abrasive is used and regularly fed between the glass and fine wire, watchspring or blunt but even blade of an ordinary table knife. The lat ter will be somewhat slow, of course, but fine steel wire run at high speed like band saw, if regularly fed with fine emery or carborundum, will give very satisfactory results, not only for cutting either straight lines or curves in window. but plate or optical glass, in such thickness as makes cutting with a diamond difficult, precarious or impossible.
 Window glass, especially single strength. can be accurately split either in straight or curved lines by first mak- ing an incision through the enamel of the glass, and then holding a hot iron close to the incision till fracture is started. The fracture will follow tue hot iron with remarkable fidelity. The iron should be preferably round and somewhat blunt and with bulky head Qike an ordinary fire pokerl, so as to retain its heat well for long cuts, espe- cially for thick sheets, to keep the frac- ture going when once started, even if two heated irons have to be used.--Na- tional Glass Budget.

4 private citizen. of moderate in come, concerned in affairs of Gmpor- tance at least to him, was hurrying north, fortnight ago, due in New York on Sunday afternoon, says Col lier's Weekly. Unexpectedly the ex- press on which he was travelling from Florida was switched on to & side track. where it remained an hour and a half What was the reason? Sure ly it ought to be a good one, for the consequence was severe. Connections were missed all along the line, and our friend did not reach New York until Monday. He was but one of many whose arrival at their business or their homes was thus grossly post poned With all the many connections through the south, thousands must have suffered. Moreover, the. exo press carried the mails, to. such an ex- tent that the greater part Of it seemed to consist of mail cars. Who can measure the possible consequences of holding up these letters, not to speak of the awful majesty of Uncle samf The train had been on time. Every thing was all right. Suddenly the word came to step aside. It was e. ported, we hope inaccurately, that the reason was the desire of member of
 q certain family to pass. He was going south, for his pleasure, and the train was stopped for his convenience: Had his wife or child been sick. per haps not single passenger would have protested, but was his whim, his mere trivial convenience, worth the serious losses and discomforts of hosts Of common men? He is & member of the same family which boasts the young man who recalled train few months ago, for himself also, with the result that suits are now pending against the railway for the damages inflicted on the passengers.

In that mile the hog had bolted on me about thirty times, and to the best of my recollection the strongest word I used was sugar.
 There was 6 murmur of sympathy and admiration as the deacon paused, and 1t was evident that he had the people with him. '.f didn't see the gate standing opea," he continued, "but the hog did. and though fetched him whack over the shoot with club he rushed into the yard. I ain't denying that he toyed with the flower beds. He just gambol- ed among the hollyhocks and rolled among the pfnks and pineys. The wid- ow stood there and might have headed him off, but she made no move to do so. It took me a quarter of an hour to git the hog out, and ain't denying that I. used strong language while chasing him up and down."
 Language to make my blood run cold" said the widow as shiver pass ed over her, but the majority seemed to feel that the occasion warranted strong language.
 ''I can distinctly remember all the profane words made use of,'' said the deacon in tones of contrition, land am deeply grieved that they should have slipped out when they did. You see, the widder was twitting me at the tin. the hog was acting up, and the two things together were too much for me- Yes, I was profane, and I ad- init it.''
 "The profanest words I ever heard in all my life" said the widow, "and you all know how my dear, departed husband used to swear"
 "Then you admit the charge of pro fauity to be true?'' was asked of the deacon.
 "I do, brethren. Yes. sir, made use of such oaths as by Jim,' 'gaul durn it. 'durn your hide gee whiz' and --and'-
 "And what:''
 .sIt's an awful word, brethren, an awful word, and I wouldn't say it again if I was driving two hogs and met two widders. didn't even use it last year when was stung by fifty hornets all at once" ......
 "was it so bad that you can't repeat it?' :.
 "Td rather not. I'd rather plead guilty and take my punishment"
 'But I'll tell what it wasp exclaimed the Widow Green as she bobbed up. "He was trying to head off the hog, and the hog ran between his legs and flung him down, and as he lay there kicking on the grass he shook his fist at me and called out, By thunderv
 All eyes were turned upon the dea- con, and he bowed his head in shame and humility. -s.
 "If a man can be deacon in church and swear like that, then want to know" continued the widow.
 A little later on she knew, as did all the rest of Jericho. The findings in the case were written out and an- nounced:
 'As for Sthe charge of spite, we find that no person driving hog is moral ly responsible for the direction taken by the animal.
 ''As for the charge of profanity, we find that Deacon Carter made use of one term closely approaching it, but as he was laboring under great excite ment at the time, and as he did not re- peat it later on, we find no real grounds for the charge and announce his record as clear"
 And when the widow heard of her failure to down the deacon she held up her hands and gasped:

After Dinner Cheese.

After dinner cheeses are usually what are called strong varieties - that is, those in which putrefactive processes have begun. The best known and most frequently used are stilton, roquefort, brie, camembert and gorgonzola. Any me of these varieties may be used with propriety, according to Individual taste. Thick water biscuits are usually served with an after dinner cheese.
