We've Been
 Watching

ever since the politicians went up to Hartford (to make new laWs) 10 see if they would present a bill allowing us the privilege of seeing base ball game on Sunday without having the fear of winding up in the lock-up' D. But it's watching we'll be, simply pe- cause their minds and their time IS being taken up dilly-dallylng With fall election trickery. Of course what's going on is being matched up on the inside. and it's too true the matching is not being carried on H. side of tea or coffee parlor. No, no, those drinks would never do for poil- tticians. However, it's time enongh for voters to know what's wanted when election day arrives, but wait. If Tammany is ever resurrected Ill Waterbury the present wire pullers will have plenty of time to go way back and squeeze the lemons. The above change will come just as sure as Waterbury will have a cinder park near the new depot. Well. let the politicians go on with their nefarlous schemes. But, we want the good, honest hearted, good living people to remember that good tea and conee IS the only drink that should be al lowed not only in your homes but in the human system (buttermllk or pure water excepted). Now if you want nice tasting tea or fresh health bracing coffee, remember the best quality or no sale is at

idea of the ruin and restitution
that lie in the wake Of the series
of earthquakes that have shaken
the peninsula during the last
month. The center Of the dis
turbance has been between Reggie
and Satanzaro, in the province of
Calabria. Ferruzzano is a village
near Catanzaro.
The first shock, on Oct. 90, COM
pletely destroyed Ferruzzano. Two
hundred people were killed and 400
injured. Two other villages. de-
stroyed by similar disturbances two
years ago, and just rebuilt by the
charity of Milan and Turin, were
again laid in waste The survivors
have been living since in the open
air and praying daily for relief. An.
other series of shocks. on Nov. IS.
created additional ruin and drove
the survivors into a fresh FRENZY of

SO far stood out practically alone
against the open shop policy be-
cause of the strong organization of
the men engaged in the iron trades.
The opportunity of forcing the is

market for the iron and steel pro-
ducts. At the same time, there are
so many wage earners now out of

WOMAN ATTACKED.

Not in the history of the city,
as police records will show, has
this vicinity been so infested with
thugs and lawless characters as
now. There was a similar reign OF
crime a few years ago and at that
time citizens armed themselves
and assisted the police. Chief Rice
has devised many schemes for the
proper patrol of the city with his
force of men. but apparently has
been unsuccessful.
A vicious attack on Mrs. Elmer
Hastings, of Fourth av. and Spo-

o'clock last night by a thug who
lay in wait for a victim near the
Franklin fats. Without word of
warning he felled Mrs. Hastings

Both sides, employers and the
iron molders union, at which the
blow is directly aimed, admit that
there has as yet been no discrim-
ination against the employment of
union men. At the same time the
union is likely to pick up the gauge
thus thrown down and lock horns
in a fight to the finish.
