administration for corporations rather
than for the people. 1t has been in
search of places for party workers
when it should have been doing the
work entrusted to it. In a word, the
present administration has worked
tooth and nail to perpetuate itself in
office rather than for the good of the
people or the community. There is
only one way to check and stop such
work. Go to the polls Monday, 0cto-
Der 2, and turn the rascals out"
There never will be a better oppor-
tunity, and if the democrats do not
get together and work shoulder to
shoulder on election day, we need not
be surprised if there are several more
life positions for republicans created
before they can get another opportun-
ity to handle the reins of government

So far as general market conditions
are concerned there are no indications
Of a reaction from the high degree of
prosperity that is so general through
out the country, says Banker Clews.
Railroad earnings, bank clearings and
other standards Of measurement fully
attest this, and the reports Of railroads
that are now appearing for the fiscal
year are generally favorable in charac-
ter, with the exception of the Atchison,
which suffered from heavy floods dur
ing the year, There is no longer any
question regarding the volume of the
crops and their generally fine quality,
and the only adverse factor now posi-
BILE in this direction would be the ap-
pearance Of early severe frosts, which
might cause some deterioration in what
corn has not been fully secured.

SUIT CASE MYSTERY.
Boston Police Trying TO Clear Ur
Murder of Unidentified Woman.

Boston Police Trying to Clear Up
Murder of Unidentified Woman.
BOSTON, Sept. 23.-In an effort to
clear up the mystery of the murder of
a young woman, whose body, the head
and limbs severed, was found in a
dress suit case floating off the Win
throp Yacht clubs pier, detectives
searched the Office of a physician in
Howard street, in the west end Of the
city.
The body was wrapped in sheet of
white oilcloth. That the suit case had
not been in the water more than TWEEN
ty-four hours is shown by the fact that
the water had not penetrated the
leather. The flesh appears to have
been recently cut. At first the police
believed that the find might be the re-
suit of medical students dissection,
but the body had not been dismember-
ed by the method used in dissections.
So far as can be judged the dismem-
bering was done to prevent identifica-
ton.
A prominent physician who viewed
the body says that the surgery is the
work Of an expert.
The discovery created CONSERVATION
in the fashionable region Of the club
house. Alfred d. Allen and Randolph
Pollard were painting a yacht at the
end Of the clubhouse float when they
saw the sample case coming in on the
tide. They rowed out in a boat. think
ing that they were getting treasure
salvage from some ship or passing
yacht. They carried the case to the
piazza Of the clubhouse, where mem
bers gathered gIeefully at the pros
poets Of a rich reward, but all were
horriied when the mutilsted body was
exposed to view.
Waterbury evening Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury [Connecticut]) 1903-1917, 1905-09-23

So common has graft become in the
departments at Washington that it
would be indeed rare day when the
papers did not record a new discovery,
and one of the curiously ridiculous
things connected with these exposures
is the establishment expressed by the
heads of the bureau or department
where the grating was pursued. 1t is
always the same story. che was one Of
our most trusted clerks" and 1--WE had
no thought of anything wrong" The
latest case at this writing is that of
Boyd. a clerk In the bureau of the
marine hospital service. nder the cir
cumstances surrounding this case the
plea of establishment is more than usu-
ally laughable. The heads of the
bureau knew he was a clerk on a sal
airy of $500 year, and that his sal
airy was all that he had to live on;
they also knew that he was living in
an apartment that took for rent alone
one-third of his salary; that he had
very expensive habits; that he was
great "sport" in the automobile line,
and that he had sent his family for a
years trip to Europe. Knowing all
these things they ought to have known
he could not do them on a salary Of
$500, and as that was all his legiti-
mate income, he must have some lille
Ultimate method of securing funds,
and further, as the government was
his only fish, the government must
have been getting the worst of it.
Boyd lived beyond his means; he took
the only method open to him to secure
money for his lavish expenditures. His
fellow clerks often wondered how he
was able to keep up his style on the
salary he was receiving, but those
whose duty it was to guard the inter-
ests of the government never thought
it worth troubling about

The democratic convention last
evening placed before the voters of the
city a body Of men that are the equals
if not the superiors OF those that will
be chosen by the republican party this
evening. Then why, we say to demo-
Gratis right at the very start, why not
vote for them on election day? Why
not give them the hearty support they
deserve and which was given TO dem
ocratic tickets in the past? There is
no question Of the fitness Of the demo-
cratic candidates. They are men born
and reared in the city, many of them,
holding the respect and good will of
the people Of Waterbury. Candidate
W. E. Thoms outlined the policy lie
will pursue in his speech Of accept
snce last evening. He is opposed TO
life tenure Of Office. and why nUty We
do not elect our mayor for life. snd
why should positions OF less import
ance be made life berths for some good
party man? The past year the schools
OF the city were rent from stem 20
stern in an effort to make life posi-
tions for certain men. and women.
too. We may have had successful
school years, during the present adj
ministration, but it would be the
height Of nonsense for any one party
to take the credit for fl The schools
can get along nicely without politics
being injected into every department.
The men placed in nomination by the
democrats last evening for school posi-
tons have been identified with the in
terests Of the town. city and school
departments, many Of them for years.
and there Is no question IN any honest
mans mind but what they viii give us
as good service. al least as any that
will be put forward By the other side.
The three tickets from the top to the
bottom are made up Of capable. honest
and wei known citizens. and there is
no reason why at least every demo
erat cannot safely endorse them and
vote for them on election DAY. In fact
TIE tickets are 80 good that there is no

New white Leather For Next Yea


Chrome white will be a new leather
for summer footwear of 1905, says
Shoe Retailer. 1t will be a calf or kid
leather with a smooth. pearly white
finish, and tanners who have samples
Of It claim that it will look well with
white dresses. 1t will be a rival Of the
now popular white canvas shoes, or.
rather. it will be introduced into the
high class trade as something superior
TO the white canvas shoe. The new
chrome white will be quite a different
leather from the white leather now put
into white party slippers for winter OF
wedding wear The new leather will
shade more toward a blush white or
chrome shade of tannage. 1t will cost
more to make this leather than 1t does
to make common leather, for tanners
will have TO be very careful to keep II
clean in their factories, as will shoe
makers in their own shops.
