An Effective Riddle.

On one occasion when he was busy

hurry the passing of some petty bill.
When they entered, Lincoln looked up
gravely and said:

how many legs will the sheep haveT
Five" said the spokesman.
NO" replied Lincoln, ut would only
have four Calling the tail leg would

A WHITE CHRISTMAS.
Although Out Door Laborers Are
 Finding Work to Do.

Although there is not much likeli- hood of d green Christmas in Water bury. the snow now on the ground be- ing likely to remain for the winter, it cannot be denied that so far the weather has been all that could have been expected and if it continues this way much longer it will be q great blessing to people who look to out of door labor as means of earning a living. To-day masOns and car penters are hustling at the Italian church on South Main street and one would think by the way the men are dressed that il was well along into the spring. The same condition exists at St Mary's hospital at Union square, the Cables hotel on Harrison avenue, the new engine house on Baldwin street and other places where new buildings are being put up. Everybody from the man who goes up and down the ladder with the hod to the skilled mechanic who puts the finishing touches on tho outer walls is on the go and aII appear radiant and happy at the prospect or an open winter up to Christmas, anyway.

FORESTERSC SCOMMITTEE
Met Last Night and Voted to Dis- peDSe With Physicians Services

The delegates appointed by the several courts of Foresters and oth- CTS to consider the matter of doc tors fees, held another meeting last night and voted unanimously to dis pense with the services of the present physicians after January 1. .-
 Several applications have been re- ceived from doctors who want to To- cate here and take up lodge work. It was decided to employ four for the present with the understanding that others will be brought in case they should be needed. A committee con- posed of J. J. Mcdonald, c. w. Beg ley, M. J. Carney, Daniel Murray and Miss Nora Heating, will have charge of the investigation of the credentials of each physician. The intention of the committee is to call upon the physicians and also make inquiries from reliable people in the towns where the new doctors now re- side. There is no hope of bringing the local doctors and the societies to- gether, both appearing quite satisfied to let the thing take it's course.

The jurors in the district court yesterday could not agree in the case of Joseph GenOva against l.. D. BOH- ley. and. seeing the uselessness of having them retire again. Judge Cowell dismissed them. The suit was for s1O0 damages for injur,es said to have been received in a col lisiOn between the plaintiff on his bicycle and the defendants wagon.

SCRAMBLE FOR PLACE.
Applications Are Now Coming In for
 Indexing Town Records.

There is likely to be a lively scramble for the job of indexing the records in the town clerks office. AL ready two applications have been re- ceiyed and it is safe to say that there will be more. The work is very im- portant and needs somebody who has had experience in that class of work but a bright man or girl would soon master it after a few lessons from Mir Brett without much previous knowledge of the business. It has been suggested that the indexing be made a part of the work of the town clerk and that instead of the alder men having charge of it that provi- sion be made to have Mir Brett em- plOy a competent person and pay him out of the money appropriated for that purpose. But whatever may be decided upon. it is a nice position and it is not at all wonderful that many would like to get it. Whether it will be disposed of by the present board of aldermen or left for their successors is something nobody ap- pears to know.

WATERBURY WINDOW DRESSERS
Get Words of Praise From Strangers
 Visiting Our City.

Strangers in town often remark about the attractiveness of the show windows in this city. Those who are in a position to judge say that the windows look nattier and are trim med with much more touch than in any other city in the state. "lt is no exaggeration, said visitor recent ly to the writer, that the windows of your stores are trimmed by far better than in any city of the state which I know of. Your dry goods and clothing stores especially have some excellent windows for display ing goods and the opportunity of making a good showing is not lost sight of. l see that expense appar- ently does not cut any figure in the dressing of the windows for l have often seen in your city windows de- corated so elaborately that it must cost considerable when the year is considered. I have noticed many novel arrangements while in your town and it is something in which your stores surpass the stores of the average city of Waterbury's size"

STORIES ARE FALSE
Paslor of A. N. E. Zion Church
 Has Something to Say

The article published in the Sat urday issue of the Waterbury Re- publican relative to supposed visita- tion of ghost in the A. M. E. Zion church is without foundation. The whole entire statement is the most absurd and extremely ridiculous piece of nonsense that has ever been evolved from an over busy, or per haps dizzy brain, and is not fit to oc- cupy space in the columns of a high toned journal. At a late hour Friday evening I was called up by repre- sentative of the Waterbury Republi can and interrogated as to whether Mrs Fairfax or l knew anything of the rumored ghost story. Notwith standing we emphatically assured him that the story was not true, the Sat urday issue insists by publication, that something beyond human concep- tion did appear at this church, assum- connection with the silly story to in crease the sale of the paper and thus giving the nonsensical falsehood greater publicity to the great deter ment of our church work.
 A few weeks ago when an article appeared in the Sunday issue of the Waterbury Republican characterize ing an entertainment held in the A. NJ. F.. Zion church as a minstrel show (the reporter not witnessing the per formance) when my attention was called to the matter l simply gave 1t a passing notice, preferring to Let Ephraim alone for he is joined to his idols.' But when another mis- leading and fool hardy article appears which is calculated to prove damag- ing to our church, especially among the children. it is time to call halt. The untruthfulness of the story is readily seen from the fact that no service was held in the A. NJ. F.. Zion church from Sunday evening, the Sth to Friday evening the 18th, and We have no person in our parish bearing the name quoted in the article in question. If the pastor has enemies who are opposing the work they are simply imaginary ones by the writer of the ghost story. for it is said by the members and friends that the church has never been in a better condition than it is at present.
 Many of the members of the A. NJ. F.. Zion church serve as domestics among some of the best people of this city who are friends to our work. and who denounce such false state ments refiecting upon the church. as uncharitable and damaging to the work. When a newspaper becomes so hungry for items that it conle- cends to permit its reporters to visit few superstitious persons and ex- tract from them a few silly untrnth- ful things and then multiply the same and exhuming from their own dazZled imaginatiOns defunct state ments and applying them to a church that is struggling to provide suit able religious privileges for all the people think it has mistaken its mis- sion. It is a pleasure. however. to learn that their are newspapers in | this city who report LIS in a respect able manner and who will not impose such untruthful matter about our work upon their readers.

TRANSFER OF LICENSE
Board of Education aud Several
 Others Will Oppose Saloon.

Patrick Hanlon who keeps saloon on Bridge street has filed an applica- tion with the county commissioners for a transfer of his license to the remodeled store at the west corner of Brown and East Main streets The board of education last evening voted to remonstrate against the application and besides this John Moriarty Judge George H. Cowell and the Platt Bros, property owners in the neigh borhood, have signed a petition ob- jecting to the transfer. They con- tend there are ten saloons already within a block of each other in the neighborhood in question, that an- other saloon would be too many, that it would be too near to the Croft school on School street and that over 1000 children pass that way every day to and from the Crosby High, the St Mary's parochial and the old and new Croft schools.

POSTOFFICE RUSH
Uncle Sans Boys Starting in on Holiday Package Delivery

The post office rush is on and 1t looks as though Uncle Sans stan will have just as much work as usual. Evidently the people are not paying much attention to hard times as re- gards sending parcels through the mails for 1t seems as though the num- Der of packages, letters and money orders would be as large as in past years. The num- Der of foreign money orders is very large considering the many persons said to be out of work and even the sub stations are taking in much money. The public is advised to tie packages securely as already there are many parcels in the post office from which the address has vanished because of the breaking of the wrapper. It saves the post office employees considerable time and trouble by securely tying packages and addressing all mail in legible writing. Some of the scrawling is terrible to behold and it is mystery how the clerks decipher it.

WHERE TO BUY.
Christmas Shoppers can get the
 Best in Waterbury.

The holiday season is on in full blast now and thousands of people daily throng the up-to-date stores, of which Waterbury has number of the best in New England. There is no occasion for any resident of this city or its suburbs to go out of town for Christmas goods, for the Water- bury merchants have everything re- quired by everybody, and at prices that are as low if not lower than in the so-called big stores of Hartford, New Haven and New York. Buy your Christmas goods at home and buy now, do not wait until the last few days.
