ANOTHER YEAR.
nany People Celebrating the New
 Years Day in Many Ways.

1 New Years day was observed in
 Waterbury in manner which shows
 that there is q desire on the part of
 most people, including the merchants l Tor a general suspension of business.
 some of the stores didn't open at all,
 and nearly all of them closed at noon
 The offices in the City l.all were closed, | the lawyers were not at home, so that there was not much doing about town. The new year was ushered In by selec-
 tions on the chimes, blowing of whis- ties and watch services in some of the churches. Many sat up until midnight To watch the departure of the old year and welcome the new one, They were rewarded by the melody that floated All over the city from the chimes, but so far as getting glimpse of the fleet ing year or seeing it's successor, mo- body was q whit the wiser. One went and the other came so nOiselessly that even the keenest ear or the sharpest eye heard or saw anything unusual, and were it not for the time pieces in me houses and the chimes and othet heralds outside not soul would have known when one died and the other was born. No doubt many had their trials in the past twelve months and hearts that were full of hope for the future year ago last New Years had another story to tell this time. but
 withal the year brought many bless lhgs. and while many were sorely tried and robbed of loved ones, on the whole tnere does not appear to be much for
 waterbury to find fault with, for no matter how deeply it touches the hu- man heart. death Is bound to claim its portion of the community in each year. so that those who have been called nave but gone on to their reward a snort time in advance of the ones who are left behind. This was so from the beginning and it is not likely that things will be different while the world lasts. We are travelling at such speed that few miss the ones that fell by the way. and it is only in the homes visited by the grim reaper. and not al ways even there, where the names of the absent ones are remembered. Ev. crybody is too busy. and those who don't believe in this impetuous haste feel obliged to get move on them whether they want to or not If they fail to put mp the necessary to keep them neck and neck with their con- petitors. they might just as well step to the rear at once. 'No.' said mer- chant, "it pains me to do business to. day. but there's nothing else for me to do. My competitors have their doors open and ! must follow suit" The man to whom the query was addressed had no remedy to suggest. Who has

WHAT SIGNAL CORPS
 MAN DISCOVERED

San Francisco. Jan 2.-MajOr George 0. Squier. signal corps. United States army, has by a series of experl- mcnts reached an original conclusion to the effect that living vegetable or ganisms may be used as part of cir cult for electrical oscillations or Hrrt- ziaD waves. which in turn suggests the possibility of using living trees as substitutes for masts and towers in the operation of wireless telegraphy. TO, use tree instead of a mast, a bal loon or kite for wireless tclegraphy. it is only necessary. according to Major Squicr. to drive two ordinary iron nails into the trae, one near it's base andi ..thc. ether, where the ,o maip branches of the tree divert frOmtthe trunk, and to connect the receiving apparatus between the two nails. With this simple arrangement the messages from the distant wireless station are read by means of tele- phone.

At the last mass at st francis Kay ier's church yesterday Father Curtin read his annual report. Ilhe gross re- ceIpts from all sources lamounted to $24,SS7. which with balance on hand from last year brought the total up to $O,71411. The gross expendi- lures footed up $46,50S.55. leaving | balance on hand of Si,2O5!56. There are TOO families in the parish, num- bcring 3.6OO persons, of whom 2,lOO are over sixteen ycars of ag9. During the year there were 40 baHtisms and l7 marriages. The Sunday school numbers 5OO. The estimated value Of the church property is S95.35O.
 The annual report of the financial condition of St Thomas's parish was read yesterday by the pastor. Rev Y. NJ. Crowley. The total receipts for the year were $l3,171 and expendi- lures $11.751. There were eleven mar riages, making five more than last year. The population of the parish is 2,15O, or 40 families. This is an in- crease over last year. The actual run ming expenses of the parish are about $2,OO0 more than the income, but with monthly collection. an annual fair. which hereafter will be substituted by a collection. and thus save good deal of time, bother and hard work, the deficit is made up. The parish property is worth $75,O0O, on which there is an insurance of $63.000 The church debt was reduced 5000 and the asnual interest was paid also. In a general way the parish is progress ing. For its size it is one of the most prosperous in the diocese and Father Crowley was very thankful for the help the parlshioners gave him in do- ing his work.
 The school. he said, is remarkably successful. It has an average attend. ance of almost 500, and this gave him particular occasion to be satisfied with the trend of parish affairs.
 Father Slocum read his annual re- port yesterday and also announced the opening of a mission at the church on Easter Sunday by the Dominican fathers.

MANY ' MURDERS.
Coanseticut He'd About Two . Month Durins the.
 Year 1904.

Hartford, Jan 2-Thc Times to-day will publish list of homicides com mlttcd in Connecticut during the cal endar year of 1904. The record shows that. not including several cases of possible infanticide, twenty killings occurred in the course of the twelve ( month. Tho towns in which they were committed and the number is given as follows: Hartford two; New Ha- ven two; Sherman one; Stamford one; Greenwich one; Windsor one; Chester one; Bridgeport one; Stonington one; New London three: Colchester one; Portland one; Canaan one; Walling- ford one; Hamden one and New Bri- tain one.
 The number is thirteen less than the figure for 1903. It is three below the average for the past nine years. and except for 1900 and 1901, it is smaller than the homicide census for any re- cent twelve month.
 Not less than seven of the years homicidcs were purely unintentional. and it is probable that several more could properly be included in the ac- cidental class. The per centage of accidental killings was considerably larger than 1t was in 1903. Five of the / accidental killings were the works of boys. One homicide. credited to Ham, den, was the result of the alleged criminal carelessness of employees.
 Of the twenty victims of the homi- cides all but three were males. In every case the staying was done by men. One of the slayers is now in state prison under sentence of death: another was executed in November: two have been sentenced to state prs- on for life for murder in the second degree. and two are serving terms in state prison for manslaughter. Two were sentenced to jail for man. slaughter In several cases either no arrests were made, or else the persons arrested were either discharged or have not yet been tried. In three cases the mnrdererS escaped and have not been apprchended.
 In twelve eases the homicides were committed with firearms. which seems to be tho favoritc method of taking human life in Connecticut.
 Geographically the homicidcs were distributed through six of the eight counties. the only ones without any arc Holland and Windham.

FOOD AND TEMPERAMENT,
Influence of Various Articles of Com. .. mon Diet on Persons i Actions.

A French medical journal recently gave the effects of different foods on temperament.
 According to this authority diet con- sisting largely of pork will make per son pessimistic. Beef, if eaten month after month, will make a man strong. energetic and audacious, while mutton diet, If continued for any length of time, Will make you melancholy. The per son who eats much veal will gradually lose his energy and saiety.
 Eggs and milk used freely will mako . woman healthy and vivao.ous. Butter 'ised too freely vii make one phleg- matic and lazy.
 Apples. this journal says, are excel lent TOT brain workers and anyone who has much intellectual work to do should cat very freely of apples. Potatoes, on the other hand. will make a person dull and inactive. Mustard is cited as a pre- servstive of the memory even to an advanced age.
 Just how much truth there is in these statements, says Medical Talk for the Home. We cannot say. Food does not al- ways have the same effect on one per son that 1t has on another. We are not 60 Sure but what pork might make per- son pessimistic. It is not the most heathful thing that one can eat Beef donbtless supplies energy and strength, but this does not imply that every ono should eat beef. for there are other foods that give as much energy and stres 1t h as beef and are perhaps, on the whole, more healthful.
 Eggs and milk would not make every woman vivacious and healthy. for milk in some cases produces biliousness. and esGs are too hearty food for many Stomachs.
 Apples We do not doubt are good for brain workers or anyone else. They promote digestion. often overcome con- Nipation. purify the blood. and their general effect upon the system is most wholesome, and whatever tends to the health of the body will also increase the energy and activity Of the brain. Potatoes contain great deal of starch and for persons whose intestinal diges- ton ie weak they may not be good arti- cle of food.
 After all. diet depends largely upon the person. A diet that Is ideal for one person may cause the death of another. The only thing to do is for each person to md out for himself what is best suited to his particular needs Select always foods that arc wholesome. eat but few things at one meal Masticate the food we'll and do not drink anything while esting.
 We believe. however the ass meat esseu the better People that have ai- ways eaten meat think they could not possibly live without it. But just let them cut the quantity down for while any then leave ii od altogether for a une. and they will be surprised how m'th better they feel. Fruits. yeg.ta niet. nuts. eeu. and milk can supply everything that the body needs and the Diood will be purer and the system freer rom disease than if the diet consists largely of meat.

The editor of the COurant has been mentioned in large type in q number of newspapers during the past few days as a possible candidate for the United States senate. Some people, not convcrsant with the situation. may be moved to take this seriously and to believe there is some foundaticn for the surprising report.

 When the elder Allwhite was taken to the bridge on which the crime was committed the mob asked him if he had apy statement to make He said he was innocent and that his sons oon. fession was part of plot on the part sf his family to get rid of him. When asked whether he would prefer to he hanged at once or burned at the stake when the missing body of one of his victims should be found he said. AS yos please. gentlemen
 Some one in the mob then pushed him on the bridge. The Iynchina on the last day of the year brought the total of Arkansas lynchings up to eighteen for 1S0s. This just equals the record of Mississippi. which le,l h lynchings with eighteen fer the year.
