Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-06-18
Dropped

from the water wagon on to the streets; that's what some politicians do to other politicians; but it's only a joke-that is, they have decided to have some fun among themselves, but if they keep on dropping we'll see somewhat of an earthquake Tn certain political backyard not l5O miles away from our Brass city. Now the dropping doesn't concern us in the least, because we never have need of such, but if by chance work or mistake we should receive poor quality of tea, coffee or butter we should DROP it so quick that 1t would hardly be in our city until It would .sskiddoo' back from whence it came. That's the way we do busl- ness. We always see that the quality is o. K, then our customers are sat isfied and everybody is happy. This week we have line of window ny screens, one with pound or Baking Powder, 45c per pound. We also have several other useful arucles which we are giving away with our Baking Powder. And, say, our June made butter at 25c per pound is bet fer quality than ever and that means much. We have secured one more lot of decorated cups, saucers and plates, all three pieces with a pound of our warranted excellent good tea, soc per pound. If you like nice fresh huttermilk we have it at 2c per glass fresh every day at

RICHEST EN- CLIsH HElREss
Lady Mary Douglas Hamilton Has an|
Annual Income Of Nearly
$500, 900.

London.-On. her wild and picturesque
island kingdom of Arraa, in the Firth
of Clyde, Lady Mary Douglas Hamil-
ton, the richest heiress in the United
Kingdom, has just celebrated her COM
ing of age. Arran, which is go miles in
circumference and contains 5000 inhab-
itants, all of whom are her. tenants,
yields her. in rent $95, 900 year. She
has another large estate in Suffolk, Eng
land, which brings her $4,000 a year.
The two properties cover 107, 900 acres,
and their combined rent rolls amount to
$135, 900 annually. From Investments
held in trust for her she receives an
other $4,000 = year, which makes her
annual income just $1,000 short of
round 100000. Nor is this, the full
measure of her wealth. Her father, the
twelfth duke of Hamilton, who died ten
years ago, left her big fortune in cash
which during the nine years of her mi
nonrity has swelled to 100000. And
the good fairies who presided at her
birth added other precious gifts. She
is good looking, blessed with vigorous
health and endowed with the tempera-

Chicago.-Charles G. Dawes &C.
ceptance of the post of campaign man.
ager to Vice President Fairbanks, who
will enter the presidential race, is said
to materially increase the latter's
chances.
Dawes has undertaken to direct the
fight for delegates to the next national
convention as far as the west is con.
cerned. He is regarded in political
circles as especially influential in
presidential affairs, because of his ex-
perience in the Mckinley campaign.
Indianians ere said to believe that, if
Dawes can line up his friends among
the men who did most to nominate
Mckinley, Indiana will furnish the
next Republican candidate.
Dawes resides in Evanston, ILL.,, Chi
Cages prettiest suburb, but he has his
ofhce in the city,: Dawes believes in
the open door, policy of doing bust
ness. AS matter of fact, the door
OF his Office is seldom closed. He is
banker of exceptional ability-used
to be comptroller of the currency, from
1897 to 1902-but he is extremely un-
conventional in his methods of doing
business. He is apt to walk out of his
private office into the banking room

FAMOUS WAVERLY OAKS,
Reservation in Massachusetts, Said ia
Contain Oldest Growths on the
Western Hemisphere,

Boston.-Not far from Boston, in
Beaver Brook Reservation, which lies
partly in Waverly and partly in
Waltham, may be found the famous
Waverly oaks, which Agassiz says are
the oldest trees on the western hem
isphere. They were aged when the
first European touched the soil that
was later called America. 'They
might have been standing when Lief
and Thorfinn visited Vineland, the
Good" one writer has observed. "And
if Charles river is the river which
flowed thru lake into the sea- then
Gudrid, the wife of Thorfinn, may have
rested in the shade of their branches"
All sorts of fancies have been woven
about these great old trees, and, far
fetched as some of them may be, the
facts still remain that one of the
smaller trees which fell some years

A Poor Compliment.

At reception given in Paris not
long ago by Lady Colebrook a French
municipal councillor wished to compli-
ment an Englishwoman and her pretty
daughter. The mother wore a fawn-
colored gown, the girl being in pink.
"Milady," said the councillor, "your
lovely daughter might well be called the
pink of beauty" "Ah, monsieur" was
the reply, "you are prone to hattery, I
fear" But no." said the Frenchman.

the spot where the first missionary
enterprise undertaken by New Eng

OF Dorchester, s. c., so named for
the small company of churchmen who
sailed from Boston December 3, 1895,
and founded colony in the wilder

William Pratt was the son of
Thomas Pratt, Of Weymouth, Mass.
In 1850 he married Elizabeth Baker,
OF Dorchester, and about the middle
of April, 1890, became a member of
the church there: When, five years
later, an expedition was organized to
carry the Gospel to South Carolina,
Mr.. Pratt Joined it and took promi-
nent part.
The Charleston people treated the
newcomer from the Massachusetts bay
colony with the utmost consideration
and helped them materially to found
their little church and state.
Not far from the first church found.

of Elder Pratt, and built by the same
sturdy class of men, was built the st.

Of the captured church woman.
On this record the young Chicagoan
was promoted to Russia. Under Mr..
Mccormick he did good work in han

States and of Japan, the latter power
having turned over to America the
handling of her affairs in st. Pete1e-
burg while the war was in progress
and her own diplomatic representation
was necessarily cut off.
Mr.. Eddy is a son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Augustus N. Eddy and a nephew of
Mrs. Marshall Field. Before entering
Harvard he went to school at Heidel-
berg, and there obtained thorough
knowledge of French and German.

II. S. HADLEY OF MISSOURI "a
UNIQUE FIGURE.
Sketch Of Attorney General Who Is
Trying to Show That Standard
Oil Company Is Nothing
49,, But Trust.

: New York.-Herbert S. Hadley, at.
torney general of the state of Mis-.
souri,, who recently tried to worm out
Of Henry H.. Rogers and other Stand.
ard Oil witnesses the true relation
between the Standard Oil company
and the so-called Independent concerns
doing business in Missouri, is almost
as unique in his way as Gov. Folk
himself. Mr.. Hadley is: only 81 years
old, but already he has made a name
for himself as brilliant lawyer. He
was elected corporation counsel OF
Kansas City, Mo-, when only ~ years
old, and at the age of 30 he was
chosen public prosecutor, serving il
that capacity for two years, while Mr.
Folk was making his reputation in
st. Louis, at the other end of the
state.
Defeated for reelection in 1902, he
determined not to enter the political
arena again.. and accepted retainer
from the street railway interests Of
Kansas City. But in a Republican
state convention in Missouri, a year
ago last fall, he was forced into nom.
ination against his will. Named to
break deadlock by speaker who
was already on the stage to put in
nomination another man, his friends
carried him bodily to the rear of the
hall, in order to prevent his protest
ing against his own nomination, which
was unanimous. He made an active
canvass in what looked to be a for.
lorn hope, and was elected.
Hadley, who for the time being, at
least, is national figure, declines tc
pose as reformer. He says he has
no message from the west to deliver
to the east. AS an individual he has
nothing against Henry H. Rogers OF
John D. Rockefeller. 1t is not his
purpose to inquire into secrets OF
"the System" except so far as they
have direct bearing on the case al
issue. Though he is closely associ.
ated with Gov. Folk, no asserts he is
not completely in sympathy with O
movement which is proclaiming ne.

gagement came from Paris, where
Miss Spreckels is now soiourning.
The announcement caused a surprise.
Ihe date for the wedding has not been
given out
Miss Spreckels, it is said, some day
will inherit $20,000,0O0 or more from
her father and her grandfather, the
late Claus Spreckels. She is blonde,
tall and handsome.
Mr.. Eddy is regarded as one of the
most promising of the younger men,
bers of the diplomatic corps. AS
charge d'affaires at st. Petersburg and
acting ambassador during the recent
troublcus times in Russia he acquitted
himself with great credit.
Mr.. Eddy is only 80 years old, but
he has won his spurs in other Euro
pean capitals. After being graduated
from Harvard he chose diplomacy as
his career, although his family pre-
ferred that he enter business life, and
he was made third secretary of the
American embassy at St. James when
Mr.. Hay was ambassador From Lon
don he went to France as second Sec
rotary and filled that position during
the busy days of the Paris exposition.
1t was at Constantinople, Mr. Ed.
dy's next promotion, that he first at
tracted international attention. AS
first secretary the young man had en-

to meet man with million dollar
proposition, sit down with Inn on a
bench and discuss the affair, as to
usher him into his own room. A Sal
walton Army lassie, looking for a pur-
chaser OF War Cry, may walk as I'M
concernedly into his Office as any
prominent financier and be accorded as
courteous treatment.
Dawes makes friends easily and is
affable, but he "reads" people keenly
and woe betide the self-satisfed per-
son who thinks he can bluff him or
pull the wool over his eyes.
Dawes is the son of Gen. r. r.
Dawes, one of the commanders of
the old Iron brigade of Wisconsin, and
a lineal descendant of William Dawes,
who made a wild ride in the war of
the Revolution, similar to that of
Paul Revere, and was made famous
by the poet Longfellew. Dawes is 40
years old. He was born in Marietta,
O., for seven years was a resident of
Lincoln, Neb, and came from there
to Evanston to assume the presidency
of the Northwestern Gaslight and
Coke company.

at this church, and pilgrims travel
from afar to be present.
White men have long since ceased
to live in that section of the coun-
ty, which has been given over to for
ests, with a negro cabin here and
there hewed out of the loneliness.
The Massachusetts men selected a
spot on the Ashley river, which runs
into the ocean just south of Charles
ton. The place was a bowling wilder
ness, 20 miles from the dwelling of
any white people. They called the
place Dorchester, and built church
after the model of the New England
churches.
A few dilapidated dwellings, remain,
and of the brick church only the
tower is now standing. The wood
work is all decayed, it's floors and
window shown, but destroyed in their
outline by the bricks having fallen
away. The semi-tropical vegetation
covers everything, and immense trees
have grown up around the place where
the proud congregation once bowed
their heads:
Along with the places of worship of
the settlers, there was, of course, a
fort The old fort at Dorchester;
which served as a protection against
