CUTTING OFF TRAINS
New Time Table Will Go Into
 Effect Next Sunday. ..

There is talk of petitioning the railroad company to leave the tlleater train from New Haven on the new time tables which go into effect next Sunday. The taking off of this train puts Waterbury in the huckleberry line again and dashes everybody's hopes of seeing the town among the
 first in the state. The new time table takes off six Waterbury trains. Imagine al city of almost 10000 peo- pie excluded from the outside world after 9 o'clock evenings. The last train from the south comes in at that hour according to the new time table and the last train out, south bound, will leave at 6:12. Imagine being un- able to get out of town except by the unreliable and always breaking down trolley after that hour The store keepers on Bank street seemed to talk of little else this afternoon but the new railroad time table, and they were of the opinion that they would not stand for it. It is quite evident that the railroad company, instead of helping Waterbury to a foremost place in the state intends putting it further back where it was twenty years ago.

FUSE BLEW OUT
Several Men Fell From Car and
 Edward Johnson Was Injured

f.. h . H . H
 As an Oakville car was passing Robbins street last evening on it's way to the center, the motor blew out. At the time there were several men on the front platform and when the motor went off with a crash everybody jumped back. Two or three of the smokers were knocked off the car, but when they were on their feet in couple of minutes, no one thought that any one was hurt to any extent by the accident But when one of the men went back along the track to get his hat which had fallen off, he found man lying near the rails in an unconscious condition such was the force with which he landed. It was Edward Johnson who was rather badly shaken up. he was placed on the car and carried to the office of Dr A. A. Crane. After his injuries were dressed Johnson was not much worried over the acci- dent although he is likely to feel the effects of it for several weeks. On Wednesday and Saturday nights the front platforms of cars are crowded and there is scarcely room to breath.

ADVICE TO SEWELL
Don't Take Any Chances With
 Captain Dau Fitzpatrick.

 Editor of the Democrat:
 I do not know whether or not the mayor required Captain Fitzpatrick to sign a resignation before appoint ing him a member of the board of health or not, but if he did It was one of the wiesest thing he ever did in his life.
 The charter gives the mayor the right to have a majority of each board favorable to his policies. If Captain Fitzpatrick had remained on the board of health, and the mayor had no way to get him off, the board would now consist of three repubh- cans and two democrats.
 If MT Sewell should by any chance be elected mayor, my earnest advice to him would be to secure Captain Fitzpatrick's resignation before ap- pointing him assessor, as otherwise the captain might become demo- crat again and leave MT Sewell with democratic majority on his board of assessors. A DEMOCRAT.

It seems that with every discharge of slander and vituperation on Mayor Thoms, his political stock takes jump up. To-day considerable money was placed on his election, while on the other hand Sewell money was remarkably scarce. Here are a, few of the bets that were made. during the day: $S0 to S10, $500 to S4OO each bettor placing $i00 as an earn est, and $750. to 500,, all on Thoms. The last named wager was made by Timothy J. Brennan, who has few more dollars left to place on the popu- lar candidate, Mayor Thoms. For reasons known to themselves, the other parties did not care to make them- selves prominent in the campaign. The wagers, however, are Indicative of the mood of the people. Some political seers are so sangune of, !, a democratic victory al along the line they say Mayor ,Thoms. will z, be re- elected by a majority of 1000. The moderate ones give him ea majority of 400 10 600. ,.-.. .D

POLITICAL 20 POINTERS
Young Republicans Disgrunlled
 Over Recent Appointments.

No wonder there are number of young republicans in this city who are disgruntled with the manner in which they have been handled py the leaders of the g., o. D., for they have plenty of cause to find fault' During the past two years tho plums that have gone to the g. o. p. nave not been given to the men who py allegiance and work performed TOT the party deserved them. The ofiice of prosecuting attorney, which should have gone to some good lifelong re- publican, was handed to a young man who had just deserted the dem- ocratic party. John B. McGrath pick ing: the fruit. Although there were several looking for the position the republican leaders passed up their own candidates and awarded MT Mc- Grath for having deserted democracy Then came the office of deputy cor oner. Surely good republican who had done much for the party in this city would be selected. But again there was big surprise. Walter D.. Makepeace, who had just come from New York, was the choice of the few men who run the republican party. Next the office of dog. warden came into existence. The position was to go to republican. Although there was a number of well known repub- licans seeking the position, it went to a man who was not voter. Elmer Trask was the man appointed, and his name was not placed on the list until Saturday. Now who can blame the young men of tbe republican party and their friends for feeling disgruntled, and is there any wonder that secretly they are working to send Mayor Thoms back to the may orally chair? And it is becoming more evident every day that they will be on the winning side. Mud singing is getting Thoms votes by the score. If the republicans will only continue to sling it out as they are now doing by next Monday they will have made so many votes for the present mayor that he will 80 in with majority bigger than two years ago.

THE NEW
YEAR WHAT WE
MAKE 1T
By Ada c. Sweet

THE only consistent pessimist is
dead pessimist," but unfortunately
there are good many Of these hap
less brethren OF ours alive. Never are
they more active, and happily unhap-
py, than toward New Years day, when
all the rest Of the world is looking
hopefully and cheerfully forward, In
expectation of good luck and kind for
tune during the next 365.
The pessimist delights in derision
Of the good resolutions which mark
minds OF many people. Shame upon
the man or woman who would dull the
bright ambitions and desires for the
better OF any human being! But
there is little time to give to habitual
mourners and augurs OF evil The
new year will be what we make it,
so far as our individual lives are con
resolves TO be happy in healthful.
unselfish way, is taking the first road
toward happiness.
We are all after happiness. In one
way or another Even the recluse.
even the martyrs Of old, were on the
endless search for happiness though
the Joy Of heaven rather than that
Of earth was the goal fixed upon in
the eyes Of those who sacrificed the
present for the future. Eternal hap
piness was what they desired.
Unselfish happiness is always wait
ing, right around the corner, II we will
only take our eyes of the far distance
and look nearer home The resolve
to make next year happy one for
those nearest US will bring 4 good deal
Of real Joy and satisfaction to the
maker of the resolution, II he holds
out well.
Silent resolve is 4 good thing, too.
Sometimes ones enthusiasm evapo-
rates when 1t Is much spoken Of. But
don't let US allow the enemies of the
race Of man to discourage us In max
ing good resolutions; and then don't
let Us fail to keep those that we make
to the best Of our ability.
There is room for improvement in
all Of us, and when we have acknowl-
edged that. and set ourselves to i'm
prove. why. we are on the nearest
road to success and happiness.

Noticed the Omission.

Some dramatic authors seem TO re-
gard construction as unnecessary
frills. On the first night OF the only
drama that the novelist. Miss Bradden.
wrote, n scene was introduced in which
= child was kidnapped from its mother.
Al the end. when all were made happy.
SO much had been left to the general
Imagination that no pains had been
taken to effect the restoration OF the
stolen child. or course 1t was an un.
workmanlike lapse on the part OF the
dramstist. and It seemed to have
passed unnoticed until a god leaned
over the gallery rail and solemnly in
Quired: HI! What about that kid?"
The piece was swamped in flood OF
insxtinguishable laughter.
