Tales of Thaddeus Stevens

Many a joke is credited to Thaddeus
Stevens, who led the Republicans in
Congress during the Civil war and re-
construction periods.
One of the very keenest of his jests,
which is undoubtedly authentic, Is so
commonplace in sound that one might
easily be forgiven for failing to take in
its meaning. In his last days David
Reese and John Chauncey, two employees
Of the House of Representatives, used to
lodgings across the public grounds, up
the broad stairs OF the capitol.
Who he said to them one day, will
be so good to me, and bear me in their
strong arms, when you two mighty men
are gomez!
Such a question implied nothing short
of a sense of intellectual immortality.
When he had taken to his bed for the
last time visitor told him he was
looking well.
80 John" was the quick reply, 1T is
not my appearance. but my disappear
ance that troubles me-.
One day member of the House of
Representatives, who was noted for his
uncertain course on all questions, and
who confessed that he never investigated
Il point under discussion without finding
himself neutral, asked for leave Of
absence.
MIR. Speaker" said Stevens, II do
not rise to object, but to suggest that the
honorable member need not ask this ia
vor. for he can easily pair off with HIM
selfr'
One anecdote always remembered i'll
connection with Stevens illustrates his
transformations charity. A beggar wom-
an met him one morning as he was limp
ing to the House.
20, sir" she said, Il have just lost
all the money l had in the world.''
And how much was that?"
20 sir. It was IS cents.
You don't say SOL" he replied, putting
a So bill in her hand. And how Won
derful it is that | should have found
what you ostr'-Washington Star.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-01-19

We are rapidly approaching a period when the market will witness a contest between the natural influ- ences of supply and demand on the one side, and the very powerful cliques on the other, who are al- ready heavily loaded with securities, yet compelled to shoulder the burden of marketing at least another billion during the year 1907, to say nothing of what may follow in the succeed ing years if Mir Hill, who is pos sessed of very acute foresight, is cor rect in his rather discouraging pro- phecy, says Banker Clews. In addi- ton to these influences there is the development of more or less friction between the great market leaders. Gradually. but surely. the communi- ty of interest idea is melting away, and lines of cleavage and antagonism become more and mere evident as events progress. This is a situation which hardly conduces to the SUD- port of stock market values. The political situation is also becoming less favorable to the railroads. pub- lie distrust being stimulated by the revelation of abuses and the conse- quent often unreasonable hostility of state legislatures. The latter is ex- ceedingly unfortunate and frequently misguided. but is not to be surprised at considering recent developments. Rightly or wrongly, the public will not submit to the doings and abuses of some of our great railroad mag mates, and in the effort to couuteract them revenge will sometimes play a greater part than justice. Political agitation promises to grow. and the tarif issue is again looming up in the foreground

SATURDAY, JAN 19, 1907.

A practical suggestion as to one way of reducing the fire loss is being pressed upon the attention of Amer ican municipalities by the Interna- tional Society of Building Commis- sioners and Inspectors. The argu- ment of this organization is that fire losses and costly fire departments are due mainly to dangerous buildings, and that these buildings should, therefore, pay higher taxes than are assessed on fireproof structures. The society, with headquarters at Wash ington, and others similar to it, are carrying on an active campaign of education in favor of fireproof build ing. That absolutely fireproof con- struction is possibility has been shown by the national board of fire underwriters. Walls of vitrified brick and COTS. partitions, roof and stair way of hollow burnt brick, are the main features of the building that cannot burn down. The most ve' hement of the national resolves that are in order at this season should be one that will mark the end of the era of fiimsy, dangerous building and the beginning of the fireproof age.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-01-19

Much interest has been expressed in regard to the statement of Briga- dier- General Crozier, chief of the bu- reau of ordnance, that ammunition purchased from private concerns cost the United States government 25 per cent more than that which the government manufactures at it's own arsenals. The statement was made before the house committee on military affairs in a hearing on the army appropriation bill. Some of the facts which are not general ly known, may be of interest in this connection. General Crozier stated that one of the reasons why the ann intuition made under contract cost more than government made ammu- milton was that the private manufac- turers had to alter their machinery to make cartridges for the "1903 model" as the new government rife  is called, and as the government is the sole consumer of such cartridges the manufacturers charged in a per- centage for such initial cost. He omitted to say that the manufactur- CTS were also required to furnish clips, bandoleers and special locking cases, most of them, if not all, pa tented articles. The cost of these, it is claimed, practically covers the 25 per cent difference. General Crozier forcibly stated that in his opinion the private manufacturers of ammuni- tion should be encouraged to main. tain machinery and operatives to manufacture government ammuni- tion, for in time of war an immense amount is necessary, and the gov ernment would be in bad plight fl it had to depend solely on is own factories.

YOUR GUMS INITIATED.
Remarkable Invention of Dr King of
 Boston.

Dr Kings latest invention, the Natural Gum" is acknowledged by the dental profession to be a wonder full improvement over the old arti- ficial gum. It has always been so easy to recognize artificial teeth in the mouth. but now by using Dr Kings Natural Gum" a set of teeth can be made by his method that will absolutely defy detection. Dr King is also the originator of the King Safe System of painless dentistry, by the use of which any person. no mat ter how nervous or sensitive, can have teeth filled or extracted without pain or danger. When one consid- CTS that for five dollars a set of teeth can be bought and the old teeth ex- tracted without charge, and a pain less gold filling for one dollar. it is no wonder that King Dental Par lors. at ATS Washington. corner Avon. are the most patronized in Boston.

cent on the total cost of the canal. Many people do not understand ex- actly what this means. What 1t real ly means Is that the contractors will be paid $6.75 for every hundred dol lars worth of work done; or on the estimated cost of the canal. nearly nearly $27,000. 1000. This is not for digging the canal. Practically 1t Is for supervising the digging. The United States government pays all the labor employed and supplies all the machinery. and, of course, the expense of the dredges and other mechanical devices will be very heavy. The United States govern ment furnishes the men to do the digging and pays their wages. The oretically the contractors supply these men with the picks and shovels, but everybody knows that the cost of these hand tools will be taken out of the mems pay envelope at the end of the week. In brief, this enormous price is to be paid for general super vision of the work, for what is called in erecting building the superin- tendence. The so-called contractors, who are not contractors, in fact, are likely to have some difficulty in the next congress. probably not in this. No fatter concession has ever been given to anybody than that given to Messrs Oliver and Page. And yet, it must be admitted they are taking a long chance, because they have bid on the plan as approved, and if the new revelations as to the weakness of the foundations of the Gatun dam shall prove to be true, the whole plan will have to be changed.

 It is always hard to convince peo- pie in cities where meters have not been used. that there is so much waste as is known by all who have studied the facts to exist. The intro- duction of meters in Hartford re- duced the consumption (including waste) nearly one-half, and almost all of the saving was in entirely pre- ventable waste. Much of this was the result of mere carelessness in al- lowing water to run when there was no use for it, and the remainder in countless small leaks and a few large ones. Of the substantial economy of the meter system there is no doubt. It has been demonstrated wherever the experiment has been tried, and it has the great advantage of making each citizen pay for the water he uses, and no other. On the old sys- tenn the careful man pays for the waste of the careless one. Out of several years experience the Times can assure the people of Waterbury that they will find it to their advan- tage to adopt the meter system.- Hartford Times.
