Is the Waterbury City Government
 Run in the Interest of Trusts !?

With the Assessors Department grinding the small and middling prop erty owner to point of distress, and this reform government now proposes to make the owners of small dwellings, set water meters in each house, pay for and keep the same in repair, and the city will sell water to the small con4 sumner at high price. and the big con- sumner at low price. If this rule Is enforced the city will be compelled to place on the pay roll about 100 meter inspectors. Of course the city will pay for their services first, and the taxpayers afterwards. If this sort of economy is practiced very long you depend upon it there will be day of reckoning for the reformers.

said to be one of the handsomest in

nearly 500 electric globes, and all
of them can be operated instanta-

Mr.. Seals, superintendent of
Transportation for the entire
Southern Railway System, with
headquarters in Washington City,
pronounces Reynolds Opera House
the handsomest and best he ever
saw in little city.
The opening play, Hello Bill
described in last weeks issue, is a
comedy OF the highest and best
character. 1t is one of the Joe JEFF
ferson type, absolutely clean and
pure.
The "Bill" in this years produc-
tion of "Hello, Bill" is Arthur L.
Cogliser, handsome and talented
chap, who has been playing the
part Of Gen. William Fuller the last
two years When Manager D. E.
Barnett, who is presenting Mr..
Goodhue's very laughable comedy
this season, secured the rights of
the comedy, the first person he en-
gagged for his company was Mr..
Cogliser, believing his long expert
ence IN the part and as stage direc-
tor of the company would make him
peculiarly valuable.
At the first rehearsal the man
engaged for Bill was an hour late,
and Mr.. Cogliser proceeded to read
his lines with such success that
Mr.. Barnett, when the tardy actor
finally appeared, told him he could
wend his way wherever he listed,
and Mr.. Cogliser was at once en-
gagged to play the name part. He
is said to be the very best of the
many inpersonators of the luckless
William Fuller, as he plays the
on purely legitimate lines,
and does none of the mugging and
tricks which so often are
lndulged in by so-called "comedi-
ans" to the detriment of their per-
formance.

A LOSING BATTLE
Mcdowell Speaks to Small Crowd
Monday.

&SAAeeJe
Something like an hundred or
perhaps few more, and the tale is
told, comprised the crowd which
heard McDowells speech at the
courthouse Monday. There was
absolutely no enthusiasm nor ap-
plause whatever and before the
speaking was over only about half
the crowd was left, and a few of
those even were Fry men. The
speaker faced the audience in his
shirt sleeves with vest open and
looked every bit like the leader of a
lost cause. The burden of his ar
gument rested upon the action of
the thirteenth and fourth civil dis
trict conventions. He drew from
his imagination dummy clique and
battered it to atoms. He squealed
''P-o-p u-l-i-s-t" in order to exhibit
the manner in which he charged his
enemy with deriding the people.
He branded The Commercial as his
enemy and the "organ Of the
clique" He made valuable asset
out of all sorts of specious argu-
ment. Pecksniff, when he banished
the traitor" Tom Pinch, from his
humble iireside, could not have done
so with greater flourish nor virtu-
GUS indignation. He claimed the
fourth district convention and in
sisted forsooth that because the
thirteenth district convention re-
fused a standing vote he was enti-
tied to its delegation. Otherwise
that convention should be thrown
out and he should be allowed the
vote of No. 4, together with the
votes instructed for him, which
would give him 13 to II for Fry.
Was ever mortal so beset?

THROUGH FIRE AND WATER.
Frank Goodman Tells Good Story
on Senator Carmack.

Clarksville, Tenn, Sept. %. -
frank Goodman, of Nashville, ex-
pert accountant, who is here in the
present employ Of the city of Clarks-
vile, told good story on E. w.
Carmack, the junior United States
Senator from Tennessee, on the oc-
casion of the Senator's appearance
in this city Monday, when he
opened the Montgomery county
campaign.
Some years ago Mr.. Carmack was
editor of the Nashville American,
and while he held that position the
American office was burned down.
During the FIRE the gas was turned
off at the street and the interior of
the building was in entire darkness.
About this time the future Senator
was engaged, as will be remen-
bered, in a vigorous war against
Mr.. Mcdowell, the Populist leader,
and he had many valuable papers
bearing on the controversy in the
editorial rooms Of the American.
The FIRE department was pouring
many streams Of water into the
building and he called for a volun.
teer to go with him up to the upper
floor and help rescue the Mcdowell
controversy papers before it was
too late. Mr.. Goodman volunteered
to go, so the two secured a candle
and made their way into the build
ing. Reaching the upper floor they
found that the water was shoetop
deep, but they waded in, rescued
the important papers, which we're
found floating about, and made
their escape in safety. The then
editor remarked later that he had
gone through water and FIRE for
and that the latter
should be satisfied.

Manager Reynolds announ e 5
that the Union City Concert Band
and Orchestra have been engaged
on the opening Of the new opera
house in Union City and that these
organizations will be present to as
sist ia the Thespian dedication.
The band will give a special parade
and concert before the opening
hour. After that the. orchestra
will appear in the orchestral section
in front Of the stage with a musical
program specially prepared for the
occ sion. The attention of the
public is invited to the fact that
the fret night seats are to be sold
a little IN advance Of the usual
prices in order that those did not
feel like subscribing to the new
building the price of share might
donate a small amount to the enter
prise. This is done for the purpose
Of raising a fund to pay for the
seats and heating and lighting the
building. Every business and pro-
fessional man and citizen who feel
an interest in the enterprise, and
everyone should, if not simply as
playhouse, then as hall for pub
lie addresses and commencements,
should secure seats for the opening
night. The erection of the build
ing from some point of view should
interest every citizen in Union City
and her friends. 1t is not only
well adapted for tie use Of the
drama and opera, but is an ideal
building in every particular for
every character Of public meeting,
well Sc ted, heated and brilliantly
illuminated. The seating capacity
is about 800, and the build
ing is now complete. The scenery
and curtains have been placed in
position, the balcony seats in
stalled, and everything ready tor

An Editor Marries.

Mr.. N. D. Macon, the editor OF
the Rives News, was last Sunday
united in marriage to Miss Bessie
Richardson at the home of the
bride in Lauderdale county. Our
old-time friend, the Honorable
Duke, has given away great por-
tion of his allotted span to the Sc
clusion of bachelorhood and the
congenial elements Of its compan-
ionship. On the other hand he has
traversed the rocky highway of sim
gle cussedness until he has become
thoroughly acquainted with it's
ruts and turns. With this check
cred experience. he now enters upon
the dawn of a new career, one that
carries him over chasm Of sad and
lonesome reflection and one that
offers him a vision of vine-clad win
dows and happy little faces, a dream
frescoed with posies and sweet tor
get-me-nots. May he and his pretty
young bride live, as Col. Slater
would say, under the benign infiu-
ence of the Great Jehovah, sun
kissed and sun-crowned, until the
scene closes upon long and useful
l;fa
