JULIUS BAIER
Death ofan Old Time Rss.dsnt Took
 Place Last Njaht,

Julius Baier died last night at his home, 52 Meadow street, after few weeks illness with complication Of diseases. Mir Baier was @ years of age and was one of the best known German residents ill Waterbury. He was born in Barmen. Rhein, Prussia, but came to this country in his boy
 tdod and resided here ever since. For years he was an employe of the Water bury Buckle Co and was foreman of tue cutting out department in 1SS1. when he retired. He was splendid workman and was held in high es- teem by the help. all of whom re,
 gretted. and not without reason, that he had decided to quit. At that time there was d general reduction in wages al! over the factory. Mir Baier was cut 5o cents a day. and while he said nOth. ing about it for day or so 1t was quite evident from the way he went about his business and sat with his hand under his head on his high stool when he had nothing else to do, that he was turning the matter over in his mind. Things went along this way for short time and the hands thought the foreman had forgotten the incl dent when to their great surprise he informed them that he had concluded to get through. He wouldn't work for the cut rates, and while it was hlnteo that his wages would soon be put back to the old figure, he was too inde> pendent to talk things over with any body and he quit and never worked from that day forward. He had ac- quired q competence and not being ebbged to hustle for a living he spent the balance of his years in the quiet of his own home. To people who did not know Julius Baier intimately he appeared cold and unsympathetic, but he was just the opposite to that, as the boys who worked for him would gladly bear testimony. But there are not many of them living in Water- bury at the present time, and probably no. more than two, Thomas r. Halpin and Michael Phelan. who operated presses in the buckle shop when Julius Baier was boss. are in the en-
 rloy of that concern to-day. Nearly a.: the others are dead, and the rest have tried fheir luck in other parts of tl,e world. .~.sa..,r, 7@.t..
 Mir Baier was man of splendid physique and in his younger years had the strength of an OK and the courage of lion. He was not quarrelsome. but when tritied with and his tempeh aroused he feared nothing. He kept d cafe for q time on Union street. and if he cared to remain at the business he would have been one of the wealthiest men in Waterbury, but he didn't like it and often said that he never regret
 ted giving it up before it was too late. One son survives him, Julius Baier, the we'll known pianist of North Main street. ..-. -. .,.

THE ASSOCIATE JUDGE.
Now Said Attorney Rect is Fashsr of
 the Bil.

The bill to make Deputy Judge F.. M. Peasley an associate judge of the district court at an equal salary of S3.O0O with the regular judge has been arlended, its objectionable features having been eliminated. The bill was drawn up by Attorney C.. C. Root, though he will not admit it. The ob, jectionable features, giving both judges power to appoint the clerk, the prosecuting attorney. and, if they cared to. an assistant clerk. and to place the clerk on a salary of $2.O00 out of which he should pay. the assistant clerk. were withdrawn at the request of num- Der of attorneys, who saw great in justice would be done the clerk if the bill in its original form was passed.
 There will be q hearing on the bill before the judiciary committee to-mor' TOW and it is said that number ot attorneys will be on hand to support it.
 Though Attorney Root will not admit he is the author of the bill, he appears to know great deal about it. He says its object is to make the court as valuable and useful as it should be. anu lO luut IL 10 uCtCoSuiS lo Poe both judges on an equal salary and thereby remove from them all excuses for not trying cases. By placing Judge Peasley on a salary. it seems to be the idea of some of the attorneys that he shall or will do most of the work of the court, because he shall thereby be removed from practicing therein There are others. however who believe that nothing but the appointment of judges other than Cowell and Peasley will cure the district court of it's present evils and that to put Judge Peasley Oh a salary will mean nothing more than an additional expense to the state with out getting any return therefor. His champions say that even so, by remov- ing him from practice in the court will cure one of the evils instead of play. ing him in fees for his work.
 The bill is causing q good deal of talk among the lawyers. ln its amend eI form it has more friends than iG its original construction. Some of the bar seem to consider the district court nothing more than q nest for some good republicans, and if this statement will not be made before the judiciary committee tomorrow it,Iwill be, be- cause those who think that way know that :t would be useless to make such declaration before republican com mitteN

Physicians Hold Out Small Chance of
 Recovery For Aged Statesman.

 The venerable statesman realized the gravity of his illness and said to his daughter. Miss Georgianna Boutwell,, T think my chances of recovery are pretty slim."
 During the night his temperature rose to 103 and his pulse to 120. but at midnight both were reduced, and the night passed uneventfully. He awOke apparently refreshed, took considera. ble nourishment and showed dispOsi- tion to talk.
 Dr. W. E. Warren. his physician. said that owing to the age of the gov. ernor q sudden change for the worse mi.i,t be looked for at any time.

What He wan.ed 70 Know.

A rather amusing story is told in con-
nection with a certain learned profess
sor. He had been asked to deliver q
lecture which he readily consented to
do-ln the village schoOlroom, and on
the important night the place was
packed with an expectant audience.
The front seats were occupied by a
few of the shining lights of the neigh
borhood, and apparently the lecturer
was addressing the select few, for he
talked completely over the heads of the
rest of the audience.
At length at the expiration of a
couple Of hours, the professor dropped
his lofty style and blandly remarked:
and now, friends, in conclusion, al
low me to say that if anyone has a
question to ask l will do my best to
answer him"
1t was very old villager in the
back sets who slowly rose to his feet
and asked the first and only question.
"Aw'd be vurry mich obleeged
measter," he remarked, 'if ye'd jest
tell us wot on airth 1t is that we've been
praiching aboutW-Tit-Bits.

A dolls fair is always of the greatest
interest to children, but it may be no
less charming to grown people If 1t is
skilfully planned. Indeed. 1t may be
more than n mere fair. and an admis-
sion fee may be charged that all may
come in, at least to see what 1t Is Ike.
Booths should be made to represent
the different rooms in dolls house,
and those who serve in them may be
dressed to represent dolls. The first
booth may be the kitchen, hung around
with saucepans, pots and kettles, with
a small range and kitchen table at the
back.
The dining room booth is managed
by some one dressed as q waitress doll,
and about the family table is seated
group of dolls from father and mother
to the baby. All the doll furniture and
the papier-mache food on the table
may be for sale as well as the dolls.
The third room, the parlor, has sofas,
tables and chairs, and here are the
most fashionable dolls, men, women
and most beautiful young lady dolls.
Beyond this may be the nursery with
baby dolls being bathed, dressed and
fed, with the cradles, high chairs, nurse
doll, and furniture for sale; and last,
there may be the sick room, with white
enameled beds and cribs and lovely
trained nurse dolls.
Besides these rooms. there may, be
booths with doll tableaux; wedding,
of course; football game, with players
in appropriate costume: golf field,
with players and caddies using or car
rying scarf-pin sticks; and tourist par
ties of dolls, with suit cases and shawl
traps.-Harper's Bazaar.

History In Dolls.

There are many theories for the
teaching of history, but nations his.
tory displayed through successive Pc
RODS by dolls is novel idea that has
just been realized in Paris by M. Leo
Claretie, who, besides being an emf
nent educationist. is an ardent advo-
cate of rendering education attrac-
tive. His system Of the history Of
France in dressed dolls is to be
placed on public exhibition, as an OBJ
ject lesson in its capabilities. Even
the prehistoric periods, whose life can
only be known on the testimony Of
the rocks. are represented. Within
the pale of history every age Is repre-
sented by its leading figures, as Gaul,
pre-Roman, Roman and Frankish.
Then come the Crusades, the English
wars, the later Middle Ages, the early
modern period, and so on to the Third
Republic.

A New Radioactive Element,

Once again the discovery Of new
radioactive element is recorded, this
time in the residue of thOrianite, after
having been chemically treated to elm
mate other substances. DR.. Hahn, who
has made this discovery, was able to
obtain ten mllligrams of crystalline
precipitate which exhibited marked
radioactive powers, and which after
two months showed no diminution.
This substance not only CLOVIS feebly
in the dark, but causes screens of pla-
tino-cyanide and zinc sulphide to f1uor-
esce brightly. Luminosity is also pro-
duced If a current of air is blown
through solution of this substance
and then directed on a screen coated
with zinc sulphide, though this phen-
omenon is different from that appear
ing with emanium under similar cordi-
tons. The new emanation while in
all respects equal to that of thorium is
remarkable for the fact that thorium
itself was not present. Inasmuch as
inactive thorium has been found, and
that the thOrium emanation without
thorium has also been found at Baden
Baden, DR.. Hahn is led to the belief
that the new element is the active
constituent of thorium, and that its
presence may explain many of the
phenomena of radioactivity. -Harper's
Weekly.

STRONGER THAN MEAT.
A Judges Opinion of Grapo-Nun.


A gentleman who has acquired ju-
dicial turn of mind from experience on
the bench out In the Sunfower State,
writes carefully considered opinion
as to the value of Grape-Nuts as food.
He says:
For the past FIVE years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent featURe in our
bill of fare.
"The crisp food with the delicious,
nutty flavor has become an indispensa-
BILE necessity in my family's everyday
life.
ut has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts and do not crave rich and
unwholesc me food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps us all In perfect
physical condltlon-as a preventive of
disease it is beyond value. have been
particularly impressed by the beneficial
effects of Grape-Nuts when used by
ladies who are troubled with face
blemlshes, skin eruptions, etc. 1t
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
AS TO its nutrltive qualities. my ex-
peience is that one small dish of Grape
Nuts is superior to pound Of meat
for breakfast, which Is an important
consideration for any one 1t satisfies
the appetite and strengthens the pow
