THELADIES AUXILIARY
Membership Roll Nearly Reaches the
 400 Mark.

The Ladies' auxiliary. A. o. H., held a meeting last night and initiated nine- teen new members and received eigh- teen propositions. The membership roll is now up to the 400 mark, but the system of conducting business is so thorough everything goes through without the slightest trouble and were it not for the attendance at the meet ings an ordinary observer would not suspect that the membership was so large. The success which has attend cd this organization has prompted many to remark that it would be wise for the men folks to take lesson from the women and merge all their forces into one body instead of being divided into five or six divisions. A to-day that this is something he often thought of, but he never had the pluck to speak on the question. He would favor such a move. he said. and added that it was folly to have six di- visions in Waterbury when one would serve the purpose much better and could be conducted at greatly reduced expense. In support of his contention he cited the phenomenal stregnth of the Elks and the Eagles institutions. con- duet T on a plan which prohibits two lodges in the same city, thus making it imperative that all tent in the same camp and work for q common cause
 There is tendency in this direction in industrial, financial, benevolent and social matters, but it will be long time before the several divisions of Hibernians. courts of FOresters. the Knights of Pythias. Knights of Colum- bus and various other societies will want to break up Housekeeping and go live together The scheme has it's good features, but it is doubtful if you would not run against more obstacles with all under one roof than you are likely to encounter by allowing all the right to organize and maintain branch es of an order in manner to suit their own notion, so long as they dO not depart from the fundamental principles of the governing body.

CORTELYOU's RECREATION.
Postmaster General Finds Rest In
 Music and . Cure For Troubles.

POstmaster General Finds Rest h
 Music and . Cure For Troubles.
 George Bruce Cortelyou, postmaster general in the new Roosevex cabinet is one of the most attractive lersonali- ties in public life, says the New York Press. Few persons know that he is one of the finest amateur pianists in the world. At one period of life he seriously considered making music a profession, and his talents are such that it is easy to believe that he would have attained the same heights of sue cess which have marked his endeavors in another line.
 Whenever business weighs heavily on MT. Cortelyou or when he is in need of recreation he goes to the second floor of his home. where his den is located. He locks the doors and draws the blinds if 1t be daylight and overs the gas if the sun has gone to sleep, and then he plays, sometimes by the hour, soft minor chords and strains. all i'm provised, throbbing strains, which haunt those who hear them.
 Mrs. Cortelyou does not like to hear her husband keep to the minor for long, for she knows then that his worries still oppress him, but when the strains quicken gradually until finally the loud resounding notes of grand march are heard she knows the clouds have pass cd away.
 MT. Cortelyou finds the same rest and refreshment in music that some men find in sleep, others in strong drink or drugs, others in long walk in the country.
 It was noted just after Mir. McKin- ley's assassination that Mir. Cortelyou looked ghastly and did not recover his boise as quickly as he generally did. He explained that 1t was because his solace had failed him. He did not have the heart to open the piano. and he feared if any one heard him playing they would not understand and it might be construed into sighting the memory of his beloved friend and ben. efactor.
