Interesting Items Boiled Down Fes

Miles H. Tooker, builder of the fam ous Tooker boats, died yesterday morn- ing at the home of his son, Edmond Tooker, at Larchmont, N. Y., of pneu monia. MT Tooker was known all over the state as the builder of some of the strongest boats that were ever launched on the Connecticut river.
 The Christian Scientists of New Britain, who organized society oaly few months ago, bought valuable real estate at the corner of West Main street and Park place yesterday. and plan to build a chapel on the site in the spring.
 Acting upon information furnished by Assistant United States District At torney Alexander Mason, Coroner Har- burger last night ordered rigid inves- tigation into the death of Charles B. Rowe, a salesman of New Haven. who was found dead in front of 961 Amster- dam avenue, New York, yesterday.
 Fearing that he would be punished for prank committed in school, Will liam Kelleher, 15 years old, of New Haven, left his home early last Tues day morning and has not been seen by his relatives since. His brother went to Hartford last night and reported the disappearance to the police. He said he had every reason to think that his brother had gone to Hartford. The boy was of light complexion, and when he left home wore a light cap, long trousers and 0vercoat.
 The alewop is rushing the season. On Wednesday, while fishing through the ice with a net, Samuel Bement of MiddletOwn took an alewife from the Connecticut river. Old fishermen say they never new one of these fish to be caught in these waters in February be- fore. It is generally thought that shad follow alewives in six weeks and if it proves to be true this year the tooth some shad will be here by the first of April.
 John Ives of Meriden, senior mem- Der of the firm of Ives, Upham x Rand, yesterday sold his interest ill that business to his partners, Colonel Charles l.. Upham and Philip c. Rand. Mir Ives said yesterday: Before was 70 rather made up my mind that when I reached that age would re- tire, but when 70 came felt so well that I decided to remain until was 75. It was the same when the three. quarters of century mark was reached and now at 30 I finally decide that it is time for me to get out"

POLITICS SIMMERING
The Democratic Town Committee Will Meet
 Tonight for Organization.

Viewed from the road one wouldn't think there is anything doing in poll- tics but this is far from the facts as anybody can tell who keeps an eye upon the movements of the men who make up the slate for both parties. Ever since the Mckinley dinner at The Elton, and long before that, the republicans have been working like beavers and at the present time they have completed preliminary arrange ments for the primaries. The demo- crats are not sleeping either, and while some may not be aware of it, they have got in some effective missionary work and if they keep it up they will be in position to do things in a busi- ness way this fall. The leaders of both parties are pretty close mOuthed, so that one not on the inside finds it hard to get hold of anything tangible. But enough has leaked out to War rant the statement that there is movement on foot to have two candi- dates for congress from Waterbury, the democrats to name Mayor Thoms and the republicans to trot out ex- Mayor Elton. It was said to-day that Mir Elton has been promised the uni ted support of his own party and that some very influential democrats have promised to lend hand.
 The democratic town committee will get together tonight for the pur- pose of organization. The commute e is made up as follows:
 First ward: Patrick ]. Lawlor, Dan- iel Murphy, w. E. Houghton.
 Second ward: H. M. Rlgney, T. j.. Brennan, Henry W. Miner.
 Third ward: John Gerity, J. H. Ere ney. w. II. Johnson.
 Fourth ward: J. F. Morris. Thomas F. Wagner, Timothy Fitzgerald.
 Fifth ward: John F. Holohan, r. w.. Halpin, John H. Dugan.
 The officers of the committee are as follows: Chairman. E. G. Kilduff; treasurer. Christian Strobel; secretary, Francis T. Reeves.

IN POLICE COURT
Heralds of Spring Failed to Get
 Out a License.

Three wandering minstrels who gave their names as Morris Leydus- kie. Morris ROsenbaum and Adobe Boesrwsky were arrested last evening for venting their musical feelings on the streets without obtaining license. Such treatment as this surprised them.
 They were under the impression that they were trying to earn living in Il
 free country. and here they run up against q city ordinance in small
 city compelling them to take out li-
 censc to blow their horns Their
 Little Father" the czar, would not treat them like that. However, there
 was no cure for their situation only
 permit or the police station, and 10
 get the one they had to go to the 0fh-
 CT so away they went in the custody of two officers and planked down S1
 each in the police station rather thah i face court this morning. They were thereupon released and they played until their eyes bulged out on their l cheeks.
 Two newsboys were brought in for l fighting and were released when their tempers cooled off.
 George Vallon was fined s and | costs by Judge Peasley to-day. Saturday last John Cosko went to q
 wedding. He lost his hat and was ar
 rested for intoxication while trying to
 locate it. Tuesday he had the mis- fortune to hurt his right foot while at
 work in factory. He asked his coun- tryman. Arion Czernienko, to go for the medicine the doctor prescribed. Arion did not think he had sufficient command of Americanese to make
 himself understood by the druggist and he therefore declined to go. This
 brought on an argument and blows followed words. Arion threw pot al COsko and CoskO threw it back. striking Arion in the face, causing big cut and considerable swelling. X fine of $5 and costs was imposed.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

Out next Monday, Feb 26-Hell- mann's Book Beer. It's rich.
 Three teams are now entered from Waterville for the coming forty five tournament.
 Sunday afternoon there will De q meeting of the Pioneer baseball team at their rooms on South Leonard street.
 A we'll known man of Brooklyn said this morning that to-day he was going to send $5 to the subscriptions which is being raised to defray the expenses of Superintendent Beach to the convention to be held at Hot Springs.
 A couple of horses attached to q farmers wagon tore up Bank street this morning, but when they began to ascend the grade on the upper part Of the street they let up in their speed and there was not much trouble ill stopping them.
 There will be a meeting of the fm- provement committee this evening and anyone who watched John Anderson, Druggist Walker and Hans Rasmus- sen talking at the corner of North Kiv- erside and Bank streets this morning would imagine that there would be something doing tonight.
 Last evening in one of the stores of Brooklyn two fellows were discus sing whether a fellow looked better by wearing side whiskers. The sub ject dragged along until finally the op- ponent of the hairs on the side said: George Ade hit it right wfen he said, "A hair lip is a misfortune, club foor is deformity, but side whiskers are a mans own fault"
 A large number from this section attended the wrestling match at the Simonsyille A. c. last evening and al though they were little disappointed in the outcome of the principal match, still they felt that the better man won and that they received run for their money. O'Connell showed by his work last evening that the one whn defeats him will be compelled to go it few and will certainly know that he has been in a match.
 Medicine buying Is different from the buying of other goods-your health depends upon what you purchase. You get what you ask for in its best quail ty at our store. A. c. Walker, the druggist.

THE MELODRAMAS PAY
Standing Room Only at Thes. Mediocre Plays
 Afternoon and Evening.

What has come over the theater- goers i'll Waterbury the past year! is question that persons who follow the opera houses are discussing. Many would like to know if the time is ripe for the bringing back once more Of the melodramas which would hold the boards for week, as was the practice at the Jacques before vaudeville was introduced
 It is surprising to see the crowds that swarm to these hair-raising shows at Poli's on any afternoon that q thriller happens to be on the bills. Long before the doors open the lobby is packed with women and girls wait ing to be admitted and generally when the curtain ascends there is hardly Il vacant seat ill the house. As it is in the afternoon, so it is at night When the "melos" are playing. These popu- lar priced shows have the higher priced ones tied to post when it comes to drawing full houses. 'The Curse of Drink" which played here short time ago. in two performances drew S1, ,100linto theSbox office. Late arrivals could get only standing room either in the afternoon or at night. "The Queen of the White Slaves has played here four or five times and still it always has a packed house. "Con- fessions of Wife, was attractive enough in name as to leave no seats vacant and it would undoubtedly pack the house again if it played here. Big Hearted Jim," "The Two Sis ters," and in fact any melodrama thar played here this season at popular prices have been well patronized and the management is getting wise to the fact that these are the kind that pay and are little tired of bringing good shows here when there are not enough, people in the audience to pay for the lights and the ushers. It seems that the persons who have been patroniz- ing the high class productions in for mer years are keeping under cover. for if the infringement depended for their profits this season on what they made at the select productions. the employees. from the manager to the stage hands. would all be at file BroOkside home.
 When such is the condition of af- fairs some people wonder if house which was devoted to the popular priced shows would not be money making investment On the face of things 1t looks as if the promoters could make barrel of money. just as much as Is being made at the Jacques on vaudeville, and that is saying | whole lot.

HOME REMEDIES
Don't Always Come 9ut ss Well as They Are
 Expected to.

It is a question if 1t doesn't pay to call in the family physician at the first symptom of danger rather than run the risk of trying remedies which may be all right if one knew how to use them properly. This was brought home very plainly not long since to q woman who had sore bunion and took somebody's advice to put little iodine oh it. She applied the liquid and kept at it until it smarted SO that she thought it time to stop. A few minutes later the foot pained so badly that it was found necessary to call the doctor and he couldn't get there soon enough to suit her. Before the arriv- all of the physician the woman spent the time executing war dances about the house on one foot and if she had not got relief she would have gone crazy. X similar case occurred the other day when a woman applied dose of iodine on her husbands back and came near killing him. There was no brush or feather about the place and the woman poured the stuff onto a cloth and then rubbed it on the sore spot. After one or two applications the patient become somewhat restless and soon shouted that he couldn't stand 1t any longer. This was another case for the doctor and 1t Is doubtful if fhe man will be in condition to work for several weeks. Like the woman with the bunion. the man with the back ache got too Iiberal an applica- ton of the ointment and 1t will he many a day before either will want tO try it again. Iodine is good thing in It's own place hut you should use 1t spsringiy if you don't want to add to your troubles
