DEATHS, FUNERALS
Well Known People Who Have
 Been Called Away.

Frederick W. Chesson died early this
 morning at his home, 10 South Willow street, after q long illness. Although
 not confined to the house he has been
 ailing for some time past and has not l been able to attend to his regular work
 for nearly year. Mir Chesson was
 born In London, England, but came to Waterbury in his boyhood and resided
 here ever since. He entered the em- ploy of the American Ring company
 as an assistant in the office and finally
 rose to the position of secretary and general manager of the concern. He was a bright man and was considered
 one of the ablest of the younger man | ufacturers in Waterbury. He was
 idolized by the help and he never let
 an opportunity pass to show that he appreciated their feelings toward him. He was power in politics and were 1t not for his failing health it is quite likely that he would have been the l republican nominee for mayor some time since. Mir Chesson represented the third district in the aldermanic cnamDer and served four years on the department of public works under
 Mayor Kilduff, where he proved him. self honest, competent and exceeding ly agreeable with his associates and uniformly courteous with citizens who found 1t necessary to call upou him on matters pertaining to public improve
 Inents. Once the ballot boxes closed that was the end of Mr Chesson's Doli- tics until the next election. so that Wnlle he wasa republican in politics ne never could agree with those who LOOK the ground that no quarter should pc given man whose opinion on pub iic questions didn't quite agree with the republican platform and for this reason he had some enemies in his own camp.
 r But notwithstanding this his recoe- nized honesty of purpose made him a formidable opponent and nobody cared 10 try conclusions with him in con. test at the polls, for he was s,Ire fo receive the lions share of the votes on his own side and these added fo what never failed to come from dem. ocrats. invariably carried him to a place in the front rank. He was nrom- lnent in the Masons. Odd Fellows and h. or F., holding the office of grand chancellor in the latter body and was aiso identified with several other fra ternal bodies. In ali these organiza. lions Mir Chesson made friends and neid them, just as he did in every other walk of life.
 Several years ago Mir Chesson mar. rled Miss Cooke of this city, who with TOUT sons. F. W. jr, Walter Robert ana Sterling. survive him. He also leaves two brothers in this country and a brothers and sister in England The funeral will be held Friday after l

TROLLEY NEWS
Out Going Board Will Act on All Appli-
 cations Presented.


 Attorney Lawlor's statement before the aldermen Monday night. that re- ferrlng trolley application to the rail- road commissioners. WAS substantially the same as bringing it before the company's board of directors, caused some of tie city solons to whirl about in their seats and stare at the speaker. Mir Lawlor didn't think that the alder men, the railroad commissioners or. the courts can compel the trolley company to build a road if it doesn't want to, but he was of the opinion that If the city officials wanted to they could bring about a condition of things which would induce the company to accept the building of a road on Town Plot as a condition imposed on some of the applications now before the board, even though 1t might be necessary to ease off a little on conditions which may be and no doubt will be imposed in case no provision is made for the service in the Town Plot district.
 At the request of Mayor Elton the aldermen will hold meeting next Wednesday night. when 1t Is under stood all the trolley applications now awaiting final action will be brought forward and some few other things which the business administration thinks should receive the finishing touches hef fore the other fellows get hold of the ribbons. Mir Blakeslee called attention to this Monday. add ing that he didn't know but the ses- sion would be followed by q spread at l he Elton. He said he put the dinner part to it himself in order to insure the presence of all the democrats. This brought every member of the minority To his feet and the only thing that saved the chair from getting into trou- ble over the remark was the timely move of somebody to adjourn.

THE MOON AND wEATHEsRs

What dees the moon have to do with the Weathsr?' asked an observslnt man. Nothing. If we are to accept tic statement of men of science. But, as for me, I will hold on to the old ideas. Here Is one man who says: So far as science has been able to investigate, there is absolutely no change in the weather which can be attributed to the moon, although half or more of fsman- kind seem to believe that the moon does have some control over the wsath- CT. All such belief, including the time for planting gardens and for going fishing, are mere superstitions-tf1e sur vivals of an age Of ignorance.' Mere superstitions, ef? Not much. The half or more of mankind referred to know just as much about the moon as the scientist knows. As matter of fact, this effort to reason the old almanac out of existence, and to do away with all the old signs, and all all the old beliefs respecting the weather, is not exactly in keeping with the spirit of liberalism about which men boast so much in these days. Why can't I go oil believing that the cres- ! cent upside down, or just tilted over q bit at one corner. means rain? Whose business is it if I haul the hay in because of a belief in this sign of ap- preaching rain? I do the work or pay for having it done. If any mistake is made made it. and if there are any consequences to suffer suffer them. So there you are. Don't tell me there is nothing. in it., I will take the moon in mine every time, and you can have these highfalutin' weather forecasts. if you want them New Orleans Times Democrat.

THE CHOICE OF MATES.


Artificial Matrimonial Selection Has
Given Poor Results.
No one knows what type will be the
best for survival in an unknown future
environment We often see the ex-
tinction Of families of parents whom
any physician would have pronounced
ideal, but their children lacked resist
ance to the invasion of pathogenic or
ganisms or there was some other de-
feet which made them easy targets for
climatic causes of physical decay.
On the other hand, we quite often
find that parents below par physically
have fine families. The curious unions
which take place must be the result of
laws such as we find in every b1ologic
phenomenon Man has the same in
stinct found in lower animals to select
a mate who is more or less different
from himself
Should like types mate, their COM
mon characteristics may be so exag
gerated as to be harmful and the line
perish 1t Is an instinct of those of
great intelligence to marry those of
less than the average, for the offspring
revert to the better average. 1t is very
evident that If we try to improve the
race intellectually by the marriage of
like types we will violate the natural
law upon which our existence Is based.
Artificial matrimonial selection has
been tried, though the results were dis
