people. The pirates were cleared, to
the undoing of Governor Ludwell.
The people and the proprietors now
began to wrangle. Right or wrong.
the people were openly inclined. as
heretofore, to shelter and protect the
pirates. The proprietors seemed to be
determined to punish them. The diff
ficulty respecting the punishment of
the pirates having commenced, other
and no less conflicts between the pro-
prietors and people soon followed.
Governor Ludwell, no doubt from a
want Of decision of character, which
was sometime mistaken for mildness,
seemed to take part with the people.
He even went so far In favoring the
people as to propose to the parliament
a new form of deed for holding
lands" This the proprietors would
not hear, since they claimed the sole
right to dispose of the land. On ac-
count of this popular act, he was re-
moved from office in 1898, and Thorn
as Smith was appointed to succeed
him. Governor Ludwell went back
to Virginia, glad, says on old histor-
ian, to get rid of his charge.

HONESTY Is BEST IN BUSINESS
The liar may succeed for a time, but
eventually he will pay the piper.
Such a lesson is conveyed in the fol-
lowing incident told by DR.. Morden,
and repeated in the Baptist Common
wealth:
"If 1 hire you," said Detroit gro
Ger to a boy who applied for work Il
suppose you will do what tell you?"
"Yes, SIR"
"If I told you to say the sugar was
high-grade, when it was low. what
would you say?"
Hesitatlngly the boy said, "Td say
It." ..
IF l told you to say the coffee was
pure, when 1t had beans in 1t, what
would you say?"
"Td say it."
The merchant was nonplussed.
How much would you work for?" he
inquired very seriously.
zone hundred dollars a week" the
boy answered, in a businesslike tone.
lone hundred dollars week." re-
sponded the grocery man.
with percentage after the first
two weeks" said the boy coolly.
you see," he went on. first class
liars come high, and If you need them
in your business you'll have to pay
the price; but I'll tell the truth and
work for three dollars a week" The
boy caught the grocer at his own
game and got the job.

PLAIN SPEAKING PREACHDR.-"Fath-
er Talyor was a famous sailor preach
er in Boston many years ago." said an
old resident Of Boston. "On one oc-
casion an opulent merchant of the
Hub had honored the meeting with
his presence and made a speech ex-
tolIing the kindness of Boston people
in building Father Taylor's chapel
and their consideration for the poor
sailors.
when he had finished Father 1ay-
lor remarked quietly, rs there any
other old sinner from uptown who
would like to say word before we
go on with the meeting?' No other
old sinner responded.
Another time in the midst of ar
exciting state campaign Father Tay'
lor took politics into the pulpit in this
wise. He prayed, o Lord. give u:
good men to rule over us. pure mer

"And she is not only barbarous-

said smiling:

These guests came to spend the
evening, and didn't know when to de-

An Economical Official.

A representative in congress, who
was formerly a judge on a circuit
including the state Of Arkansas, re-
lates an amusing instance, retold In
an exchange, Of the free-and-easJ
administration of justice in that Sec
ton in the old days:
ION q certain OCCASION" says the
former Judge, II had sentenced
man In one Of the smaller towns oi
Arkansas to three months in Jail fol
larceny. A few days after the trial
was on my way to the station In com
pany, so 1t CHANGED, with the sherin
of the county, when I passed a man
busily engaged in saving wood. He
greeted me most politely with, GOOD
mornin', jedge.'
'I returned the mans salutation
and continued on my way. There
had seemed something in his face
that was familiar; so I asked the
sheriff who he was. That official
hesitated a moment before replying
Then he said, That's the fellow you
sentenced to three months for larceny
the other day
Seeing how astonished was that
a man sentenced to three months i'm
prisonment should in three or four
days still be at liberty, the sheriff
hastened to explain.
"'Yes, jsdge, that's the same man
The fact is. jedge. that we DOM
happen to have anybody else in jail
Jest now; so we thought it would
kinder be a useless expense to hire
somebody to look after jest this one
prisoner. Consequently, jedge' !
gave the fellow the Jail key, and told
him that IL he'd sleep there nights
reckoned 1t would be all right.

A Dramatic Incident Of the Siege Of
Varsovie.

Varsovie.
1t Is doubtful If the soldiers Of any
nation are braver than those Of Rus
sia 1t is related of Field Marshal
Paskievitch that in the course Of the
siege of Varsovie, being somewhat dis
commoded by a hot fire from a certain
battery. he ordered it to be shelled, but
to no purpose. His troops did not
seem able to locate the enemy, and
their shot had no effect. Finally the
field marshal himself galloped for.
ward and sternly commanded:
What imbecile is in command
here?"
"I am," answered an officer who ap-
preached.
We'll, captain, l shall degrade you
since you do not know your business
Your shells have no effect"
True, sir but it is not my fault
The shells do not ignite"
Tell that to others. Don't come
trying to fool me with such chaff
You will receive your punishment this
evening""
The captain coolly took shell from
pile near by, lit the fuse and, hold
ing it in the palms Of his hands, pre-.
sented it to the marshal, saying:
"See for yourself, sir"
The marshal, folding his arms
across his breast. stood looking at the
smoking shell. 1t was a solemn mo-
ment Both men stood motionless
awaiting the result. Finally the fuse
burned out, and the captain threw the
shell to the ground.
It's true" remarked the marshal
turning away to consider other meas
ures to silence the enemy's fire.
In the evening, instead of punish
ment the captain received the cross ol
the Order Of st. Vladimir.

Salvation Army Notes.

Christmas day to most of us will be day of joy and good fellowship. We exchange presents with dear ones: we feast upon the good things of life; the children are full of hap piness because of the gifts that are theirs. and thus, 1t will be a day nev- CT to be forgotten. Alas. in many homes. instead of laughter there are tears instead of the good things of life. the gnawings of hunger and an empty cupboard. These homes are cold and cheerless and poverty and suffering reign.
 To such homes the Salvation army is planning to bring Christmas cheer and blessing by providing baskets for at least one hundred poor families. each basket to contain provisions for real Christmas dinner for family of five or more persons. A Christmas tree will also be erected with presents for two hundred and fifty poor chill dren who would, otherwise receive no Christmas remembrance. This undertaking will involve much ex- pense and a large amount of work and can only be accomplished by the aid of Waterbury people,. whose hearts beat in sympathy for the suf- ferings of the poor in our midst. Last Christmas. three hundred and seven- ty-five persons were provided for through the generous response of our citizens and 1t Is hoped that they will not fall behind this year In making this effort the success 1t should be.
 All promises and donations can be sent to the officer in charge. Adtt W. H. Hansen. @ Abbott avenue.

 Edward Bossidy, who up to about twelve years ago lived in this section and owned the drug store where Joe Smith is now located, is renewing acquaintances Tn Brooklyn.

 John Rinaldo who had his Ter amputated at the Waterbury hospi- tai last evening as the result of an accident while alighting from a freight at Washington avenue cross ing last evening is resting comfort ably to-day. It Is said that Rinaldo was not found until about half an hour after he was hurt and that his left leg was almost frozen when aid reached him.
 Only two games were played in the handball tournament at the rooms of the Brooklyn Athletic club last evenin. N. Normand and M. Conway defeated J.

Howard and D. Blansfleld.
 The Cadet Juniors will meet this evening at the rooms of the Brooklyn Athletic club when the fi- nancial condition of the team will be made known by Manager Thom- as Cunningham. In all probability the members will vote to aid Joseph Wallace, a member of the team who was injured in the game on Thanks giving day. It is said that there Is a little soreness in the ranks of the Cadets but everything will withou doubt be fixed up this evening in peaceful manner.
 Three of the new rooms of the Duggan school which were delay ed because of the labor troubles will in all probability be ready for use after the Christmas vacation. The opening of the rooms has long been awaited as the condition of the rooms at present is bad, as there Is a scarcity of room. In three grades, the first, third and fourth, part of the scholars go to the school in the while the others attend in the afternoon as the lack of room prevents all from attending the same session. Principal Thomas Devine stated to-day that he was glad that the new rooms were almost ready IS they will relieve the congested condition now existing.
