Some Stray Leaves from Reporters Note Book.

Mark L. Warner, who was one of the candidates for representative on
 tho democratic ticket, was in town
 to-day and found time to gay . few
 words on the recent election. "Yes,
 I still thin kthe party is all right"
 said Mark. "but cannot say as much
 for some of the ones that are in 1t. 1 certainly would have been elected
 had they given me couple of weeks
 to make campaign, but what show
 has a man who is not notified until a few days before election? Moreover, I had hard cold and could not get
 out to work. but if they had gone
 about 1t in the right manner, I know
 would have come home @ winner"
 The following from Chicago pa.
 per hits the case In about every city
 in the country. Tn the immediate
 vicinity of every school in Chicago
 are one or more little stores that sell
 school supplies and candy to children.
 The quality of the candy furnished
 to small purchasers in these places is
 often of the poorest. In some cases
 it Is positively injurious to health be-
 cause of the unwholesome ingred-
 tents contained in it. Some of the
 existing enthusiasm for pure food
 ought to be expended in this direc-
 tlon. The city health department,
 the board of education and the moth-
 ers' clubs of the various schools ought
 to see that only wholesome sweets
 are sold to children.
 "If had been given the choice of any place in the presidents cabinet, I should have chosen the one am to have, said Oscar s. Strauss, who will soon enter MT Roosevelt's official family as secretary of commerce and labor. ''It is the work for which l have waited for fifty-six years, and is the nearest to my heart" he con- tinued. "In it is embraced the work of a sociological and economic nature in which am interested more than in any other. It is the work to which I shall devote my entire time and thought, and shall resign from ev- cry business connection in order to devote my whole energies to its pros- ecution. MT Strauss was in Washing ton few days during the past week, preparatory to a short visit to the Virginia hot springs. While there he incidentally discussed politics. say ing that he is confident MT Hughes will give New York a thoroughly eff- cient administration. He thinks MT Hearst has been permanently elimi- mated as an individual political fac- tor.
 old Glory was flung to the breeze this afternoon on the highest point yet reached on St Anne's new church on South Main street, and when the banner was seen by people in Ex- change place everybody wanted to know what 1t was. At that distance from the building 1t didn't appear any larger than one of those penny banners you see with children now and then, but according as you kept going towards 1t, 1t kept growing In size and when you reached the struc- ture one needn't have very sharp eyesight to get good view of 1t, al- though it is 175 feet above the grade of the sidewalk. This will be the height of the cross from the ground when 1t is placed in position. The two towers fronting on Clay street will be considerably higher. 210 feet each. N. D. Dubuc of the Granite Co, under whose super vision the work is being done, said his afternoon that men will com- hence putting on the states next week and that the whole outside will ,e finished next summer. In answer o a question as to why the flag was loisted there, Mir Dubuc replied that hey set 1t out there just to show heir colors and to let people know | hat there is something doing up | here. It was a happy thought and everybody who saw 1t said so. The | french people are very proud of that hurch. and no wonder, because 1t is beauty, but they must not think hat they are the only ones who ake delight in seeing 1t 60 up, for 'erhaps 1t is admired by more people han any other ediflce that ever was uilt in Waterbury. This is due to one extent on account of the very arge number that pass up and down hat street every day in the year, nost of whom have kept an eye on since the work was started in ,.Aa .( 1a~S vAsR
