E. W. Russell was among the
large number seen upon the ice
on the river in front of the city
yesterday afternoon enjoying the
fine skating. "Boss," as he is
more Familiarity known among his
old associates, appeared as young
and graceful upon the PREACHER
Gus steel runners as of yore. This
is rather remarkable for one OF
Mr.. Russell s years, as he is in the
6Sth year of his life. However,
he seemed to enjoy the fine sport
fully as we'll as he did fifty years
ago, and can give some OF the
young men of today pointers IN
the art of skating. g.

Afraid of Strong Medicines.

Many people suffer for years
from rheumatic pains, and prefer
to do SO rather than take the
strong medicines usually given
for rheumatism, not knowing that
quick relief from pain may be
had simply by applying Cham

taking any medicine internally.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-02-06

The crculation of our national banks has been increased to S16I ,NDO,- Q0". compared with S3S4, 100000 this time two years ago, says Banker ClcWS. Meanwhile ollr gold supply has been largely augmented. so that the ration's monetary supplies have been increased out of all proportion to the growing activity in business. Bankers are now looking for very easy money durin" the next few months. a Condi- tion which must inevitably affect SC curity values Already some of our large institutions have been buying sood stocks and bonds for temporary investment on the theory that they would yield better returns than loans. Had we m elastic currency system. such as congress has been repeatedly asked To give. we should be spared the danger of excesses. and the supply of money. when Supcrabundant, would contract naturally until the equilibrium between supply and demand was re- stored 10 a healthy basis. Such q situ- alton will naturally facilitate gold cx- ports, although recent shipments were mainly attributable to genuine Eu- ropean necessities.

s avoided and when there are 40 to 50 families instead of one on 16O acres, cooperation makes house building, as well as the procurement of tools, ani- mals and machinery much easier.
 It is also much easier to combine work on the land with employment in the shop or store. to the great a6van- tage of the worker Health would be promoted. and great pecuniary advan- tages would result from judicious combination of this kind.
 It would be interesting. for example, If factory could be established, the employees of which would work eight hours a day therein. and during the proper seasons devote two hours day to the intelligent cultivation of two acre or three-acre field.
 On this tract could easily be produced vegetables and small fruits. sufficient for family use. and a marketable sur plus, which. under favorable circum- stances. would in many cases equal the earnings in the factory
 A comparison of the health and pros perity of the operatives of such an in stitution with that of workers in neighboring establishment giving ten hours day to their indoor work. would, we are confident, make an nm mistakable showing in favor of the former.

 This success shows what can be fore by a combination Of muscle and brains on small piece Of land.

How Employment in Shop or Store Might Be Combined with Agri- culture on a Small Scale to

l'epile the opposition of the entire Pennsylvania delegation, excepting of course the democratic members, and of some twenty other representa- lives, the republicans of the. house have determined to pass the Town send Esch railway rate bill at the present session of congress and it Is probable that the measure will be sent to the senate the latter part of next week, hut it is almost certain that no action will follow in the upper cham her. Democratic members of the house will vote for the minority substi- tutc, which is modification of the bavey bill, but as that will he defeat ed they may vote for the Townsend Esch bill as the best railway lcgisla- ton that can he obtained.

send-Esch bill fails even to attempt the correction of some of the gravest evils Is a source of disappointment to the president and to the democrats in both houses of congress, and there are many who believe that more compre- hensive measure can be adopted at the special session which the president proposes 10 call.

If the senate were, like the house, elect cd by direct vote of the people, there is little doubt that senators would feel the necessity of a special session in the spring to meet the demand for this character of nactmcnt, but under the existing circumstances senators are decidedly independent and they insist that if the president compels them 10 meet in the spring they will adjourn without action.

This quality of beef may do in Hartford. but Water bury people who have had experience m buying and paving the bills say hat good beef cannot be bought less than r. or IS cents and from that up |" :h cents.
