In the evening every tavern and cOf-
fee house had special Fourth of July
dinner. This latter custom was uni
versal. No hamlet was so small that it
could not gather its company of patri-
otto diners in the village tavern, where
their enthusiasm was displayed, not
only in repeated protestations of 10y
atty TO their country. but in drinking
heartily to the tOasts, which always
corresponded in number to the States
in the Union.
In 1904 there were seventeen States,
and this system was continued several
years longer until the accumulation of
States became so numerous that it was
an absolute impOssibility for the diners
to keep pace with them in drinking
ability, and So perhaps somewhat re-
gretfully. the time-honOred custom of
toast for State was abandoned.
The residents of Brooklyn, 100 years
ago. were not to be outdone by their
friends in the greater city across the
river, as. according to a newspaper ac-
count at the time, the Fourth OF July,
1904, was celebrated in Brooklyn as
follows:
The military of Kings County as
sembled at the town of Brooklyn to
celebrate the day. At sunrise a salute
of seventeen guns was fired The Uni
form Corps of the Troop of Horse. Re-
publican Rifiemen, Washington Fusi-
leers and the Rising Sun companies
formed on Brooklyn Heights at 10
o'clock and marched through Sands
street, Main street, Front street, up old
Ferry street, to the parade ground"
Later in the day there were dinners

taneouS enthusiasm Tor the memories
of the day by both the young and old.
Nearly every town and village could
point with pride to Revolutionary vet
Grams, and the presence of these war
riors who had contributed their share
toward making the Declaration of In
dependence mean something to the
country added to the deep personal in
terest in the day. The love for their
young country rang out true and clear
in every Grafton and after-dinner toast.
The following toast, given by the mer-
chants Of this city in 1895 at the Ton
tine Coffee House, is but a sample of
many which the day always called
forth:
"The suspicious day that rescued our
country from the hated yoke of foreign
tyranny, and gave us honorable rank
among the nations of the earth~-may
its glorious events never be effaced
from our memories: may the blessings
it has conferred be as lasting as the
globe we inhabit, and may each revoiv-
ing year find us more united, more
happy and more free 4

 William Archer of Waterbury met with bad accident on Thursday while trying out Banner Boy, new pur- chase and said to be the best horse for rough and ready snow racing i'll the city. A peddler's team ran into him. MT Archer was thrown out and his right leg was broken in two places between the ankle and the knee.- Hartford Times.
 The Republicans big issue was out bright and early Thursday morning, and copies of it were eagerly picked up by anxious readers. The fifty pages are filled with interesting and carefully prepared articles and pie lures of Waterbury and the surround ing towns. The workmanship is up to the standard, and the whole publica- tion reflects credit on the men back of it.
 Miss Sperry of the Bronson library made q tour through Simonsyille yes terday to get line on the best place to establish a delivery station for the accommodation of residents of that district, who have filed big petition asking for the service. There are two schools either one of which would be suitable for such a purpose, but per haps the petitioners may be able to find room for the books in some pri- vate building. It will be a great ac- commodation to people who want to get books from the library, for instead of walking to and from the main build ing on Grand street they will be sup piled with books almost at theic own doors, that is provided the librarian can see her way to establishing sta tion there.

weather, however, makes for a fair

fair volume of orders already booked

generally small stocks reported car

ern jobbers' stocks are reported 10 to
80 per cent smaller than a year ago at
this time and this fact, coupled with
the knowledge that the coming three

leads to the belief that comparisons
from now on will favor the present
year. Other features coming to hand
