UNIONS REFUTE IT
Say They Did Not Receive Any
 of SeWeIl'S Money.

' Evidently the republican candi- dates and their political agents were rather easy picking. It also can be seen from the manner in which the money was passed out to supposed to be agents" for unions that the g D had good poodle to give away.
 John Sewells bill of expenses in | the city election as filed in the town clerks office has stirred up hornets nest. None of the unions in Water- bury received a cent from him or his agent and inasmuch as the money was paid out to somebody it looks now as though the republican candi- date for mayor was a victim of sharp CTS. The following communication will explain what the organizations referred to in MT SeWells statement think of the matter:
 Waterbury, Conn.,, Oct. g, 1907. To the Editor of The Democrat: Sir-Last evenings papers con- tained a statement of election ex- penses filed by Mir J. E, SeWell. He states that he paid to the Central La Dor union the sum of $50.00 for ad- vertising purposes. In reply to this, we wish to state that the Central La Dor union never received one cent from MT Sewell or his agent or any other candidate for office or their agents, nor did the Central Labor un- ion ever authorize any person or per sons to solicit any money or any fav- ors whatever from a candidate for of- flee in any political campaign.
 As to the statement of MT McGrath MT Sewells political agent, that he paid $25.00 to the Freight Handlers and Warehouse union, we have no comments, other than to say that there is no such union, to our know ledge in Waterbury at present.
 JAMES P. DONOHUE, President.
 JOSEPH CANDY, Secretary
 From the Masons and Bricklayers' union the following was received: To the Editor of The Democrat:
 Sir-Mr Sewells statement of election expenses published in The American and Democrat last evening contains an item of $50 paid to the Masons and Bricklayers union for advertising purposes. I wish to state on behalf of the above union that we haven't seen any of the money and don't expect to as we have not done anything to earn it.

SUNBURN.
Some Curious Suggestions and an Experiment.

Experiment. Has it ever struck you that sum- burn is miracle? Probably not, Yet such is the fact.
 When you go down to the sea- shore, and bask in the summer sun, the light attacks you fierceE, first reckoning your skin, then swelling, blistering and scorching it. If you kept in the sun long enough and the miracle did not occur, the sunlight would kill you, burning off your skin first and then fiercely attacking the raw flesh.
 But the miracle does occur. The skin changes from its pale color to tan, and upon this tan the sun has no effect. The sun may beat on a tan-colored skin for days, for weeks, for months, but the skin will always remain sound.
 And so nature works her miracle The white skin is suffering, and na- ture, aware somehow that a tan skin is sunproof, changes the white to tan.
  that it is not the hardening of the skin, but the change in its color which protects it from sunburn-is an easy matter.
 Let a pale person, unused to the sun, stain one side of his face yell low, and, leaving the other side un- touched, go out in the bright sum- mer sun for a couple of hours. The one side of his face is no tougher than the other, yet the unstained side will be inflamed, blistered, while the tan-colored one will be quite cool and unhurt.
 Sunburn is a miracle, a protection to mankind, as inexplicable and as wonderful as the miracle of how the arctic animals change in the winter from dark coats to snow-white ones. Answers.

OTTO BOOKS CASE
Put Over Until To-Morrow 10
 Produce More Evidence.

Otto Book was before Judge Burpee
 in the city court to-day charged with asaulting John Hickey last Friday. The scene of the disturbance was Mo- hawk park. Hickey is employed by the Scovill Manufacturing company and he also keeps trespassers of a sand bank owned by Warren L. Hail. Friday last, according to Hickeys story, he saw Book and his wagon pass along the road with a load of sand. Taking up his empty shot gun, Hickey went out on the road and ac- cused Book of stealing from the sand bank. Book said he would take all he wanted for all he cared for Hick- ey There were some more words and Book, according to Hickey, went for him. Book wrested the gun from Hickey, struck him in the face, knocked him down and punched him, sprained his left ankle and almost fractured his left ribs.
 Bock's story was that he got an order for the sand from MT Hall and presented it to Hickey on his way back from the sand bank, and Hickey would not accept the order but abused him. Hickey threatened to shoot him and had the gun to his shoulder when Book grasped it and there was tussle, during which Hickey fell down. George Whitney testified that he was present during the altercation and did not see Book present to Hickey any order. Attor- ney Rogers, appearing for Book, said he could prove that Book did show the order to Hickey, and to accom- modate him the case went over to to- morrow.

FRATERNAL LIKENESS.
We May Inherit Any Spiritual Traits
 of Our Parents.

As a result of a prolonged investi- | gation of fraternal resemblance be- tween children, based on the eSti- Professor Karl Pearson three years ago decided that the mental and moral characters of man were in- herited in much the same manner as the physical characters. we in- herit," he said, ''our parents tenn per, our parents conscientiOusness, shyness and ability, even as we in l1erit their stature, forearm and span. Prof Pearson's conclusions appear to be confirmed by further investigation as to the inheritance of ability pur- sued by Edgar Schuster aud Miss Ethel NJ. Elderton of the Francis Galton laboratory for National Eu- genics, University of Oxford and the lists of the famous schools of Harrow and Charter House.
 The definite object of the investiga- ton was to determine as exactly as possible the resemblance between father and son and brother and brother, as indicated by successes or failures in passing the examination of the B. A. degree at Oxford or by their positions in school at Harrow and Charter House at corresponding times.
 The results obtained from the OK ford material show that the corre- lation between father and son is re- presented by 0.312, and that between brother and brother by 0.405. on q scale by which complete resemblance would be indicated by 1 and no re- semblance by o.

WILLOW FOR BASKETS.
Most of It Imported But It Need
 Not Be.

New York state leads the union in the production of willow for the man. ufacture of baskets and wicker furnf- ture. and many of her farmers are making good profits from it's culture. The fact that g9 per cent of the best grade basket willow used in the United States is imported from Eu- rope is positive proof that it's domes- tic production is still an undevel. oped industry. This latter fact is moreover. set forth in a report re- gently made by a Massachusetts man. ufacturer to the National Forest Ser vice. This firm has tried to obtain willow grown in this country. but has given up the idea and now im- ports it's whole stock from France. The Mohawk valley is the leading section in the production of wfllow rods at present. Everything produc- ed finds an immediate market. and the demand is rapidly on the increass while the supply gr0Ws steady more inadequate. the result being that the growers receive excellent prices. European manufacturers compete keenly for the best products fn the countries on the other side of the At- lantie. and until recently only the inferior rosis were shi71ed to Amer iea- The prices nov prevailing are fhree times those quoted for a siuI- lar stock few years ago

ELECTION BETS
Silk Hat Coming 10 Deputy Sher-
 if O'Brien From New Haven.

If Deputy Sheriff John O'Brien is seen on the streets in the course of a few days wearing plug tile, people must not think he is becoming high toned" or that he has gone up a step in the world, flor there is no article of dress in all the world as democratic as the plug hat. This plug hat which the deputy sheriff shall wear will come from New Haven on a wager won from sturdy republican in that town by the sheriff on the election of his friend as mayor, At torney James Martin. It was stipu- lated in the bet that the hat shall be worn during business hours for one full week and as the sheriff is always a man of his word he will float the tile in a few days.
 Constable-Elect William M. Gill lette lost on Mayor Thoms reelection and in consequence, if he carries out the lost bet, he shall smoke Judge Cowell's corncob on the streets dur ing the remainder of this glorious month of democratic victories.
 Judge Cowell lost a wager, to whom no one cares to say, but until Thanksgiving he shall smoke cigar cites only if he complies with the condition of the wager, and the win ner of the bet, is also the loser for he must supply the weed.
 It is said that Charles E. Egan, the dealer in scrap metals was a heavy loser on Sewell's defeat It is cer- tain that MT Egan was most san- guine supporter of the republican candidate. Rumor credits him with the loss of $700 in wagers.
 A big winner according to gener al report is Timothy J. Brennan of East Main street. He is said to have won about $1,000, and Charles Cor coran who runs a restaurant next to MT Brennan's place is said to have won about $500. Joseph Garbarino was lusty supporter of the republi can ticket and his confidence in it cost him, it is said, $500.

SON OF EDITOR BIDDER.
Visiting at the Home of John Mul-
 vile of East Clay Street.

vile of East Clay Street.
 Herman Ridder, son of Editor Rid- detr of the Staats Zeitung of New York, the most influential German paper in the country, was a visitor at the office of the Waterbury Demo- crat this morning, in company with Attorney B. B. Kelley, one of the newly elected members of the de- partment of education. MT Ridder came to Waterbury in his automo- bile, and while here he will be the guest of John Mulville's family of 43 East Clay street. He is mak- ing tour of the different towns in New England with view to getting some ideas regarding the best plans for a new plant which his father in- tends building in the. near future. The Staats Zeitung has very large circulation and its owner is proba- ply one of the wealthiest newspaper men in the United States. A few years ago on the occasion of the visit to this country of Prince Henry, he entertained 1,200 newspaper men at a dinner which cost $56,000, and he has given few spreads since, each costing enough to appall people of modest, means. Notwithstanding this nobody would know that the young man now stopping in Water- bury was the son of man of almost unlimited financial resources, for he appears to be as anxious to pick up information which will be useful to him in his business as if he were looking to a days wages for living. He is young man of good appear ance and states that he is much pleased with what he has seen of Waterbury.
