MUSIC IN WATERBURY.
Correspondent Makes a Few Pointers
 for the Next Season.

tUI IllC INCAt DSucUu.
 To the Editor of the Democrat:
 Now that the musical season is at an end, 1t might be well at this time to make few suggestions regarding next years work. It Is pretty warm weather to think about 1t now and a great many are tired and weary and yet suggestion dropped at this time might grow to a considerable extent and also be the means of clear un- derstanding, resulting in combined efforts which will mean success.
 Now Waterbury has many fine mu- sicians within its limits and Water bury has done a great deal musically of which we are proud, but Water bury can do more. s-
 With our beautiful Buckingham Music hall and pipe organ, with the members of the Waterbury Oratorio society tand more members) and with our fine local orchestra, Water bury ought to do something great next season. Besides all this Water bury has within its limits men who can work this thing up from begin ming to end and who are a credit to the musical world.
 I should think that the best way to start this would be to make it known throughout the city that the Oratorio society is to be reorganized and that any person who can sing and can pass the requirements is eligible for membership. Members must come from all parts of the city. From the north and south and from the east and west. All would be well come if they can pass the require ments. It might be well to charge small membership fee, but the mem bers of the chorus must not be put to any other expense and also in view of the fact that 1t has been difficult to fill up some of the parts. The director ought to be local man, giving his services free of charge, but he will get his reward. He should not be given the position with his hands tied, for 1t is with the director that the whole thing lays. Besides being man of ability, he must keep up the interest and keep building up it's strength and in the end be able to call each member a friend.
 have been told that one of the most successful musical societies in the country is the Arion society of Providence, R. l., and has been un- der the sole direction of Jules Jordan for years, and who has given his ser. vices free of charge.
 The accompanist should be of no expense to the society either and I am sure there are many who are ca pable that would gladly do 1t.
 Our combined efforts should be, If rightly conducted, the glory of us all. Let us make Waterbury the "Musi- cal Center" of the Naugatuck val ley.

Showing Our Monkey Blood.

Carlyle Was . Terror.

The domestic infelicity of the. Car lyles is common knowledge. but it is not inappropriate to give Mrs. Carlyle's view of her husband. If he would only be satisfied" she used to some- times complain of Carlyle. But I have had to learn that when he does not find fault he is pleased, and that has to content me-"
 On one occasion when Carlyle was away from home Mrs. Carlyle busted herself to get all in perfect order for her husbands arrival. and when all was complete-his dinner ready. his armchair in its usual position. his pipe and tobacco prepared. all looking as comfortable as possible-Mrs. c. sat down at last to rest and to expect him with a quiet mind. He arrived, and after he had greeted me. what do you think he did? He walked to the win- dow and shook it and asked, Where's the wedge of the windowT And until we had found that blessed wedge noth- Ing would content him. He said the window would rattle and spoil all.'

unwisa Combination.

To the mind of Mrs. Abigail Jen. nings there was sort of disloyalty in admitting to any outsider that native of Willowby could be really eccentric. As for anything beyond eccentricity, Mrs. Jennings would never have ad- mitted it, even fin the case of Miss Rachel Gregg, who.was frankly called crazy by the summer visitors.
 ''Now. Mrs. Jennings" said one of the boarders, do you really mean that you've never known Miss Gregg to do anything that you'd call crazy"
 No. haven't" said Mrs. Jennings, with firm and unyieIding expression about her prominent chin.
 "Why. what do you think of her sending that bag of eggs over to the Corners to Mrs. Cole right in the box with her laundry work and never tell ing the stage driver and letting him throw the box right offg' inquired the summer boarder. Mrs. Cole says there's one shirt waist she'll never be able to wear again"
 "Well." said Mrs. Jennings calmly, T should say about that as I have about a number of little things Rachel does and has done. She may lack in wisdom and forethought now and again. But, then. who doesn't. I'd liks to know?"-Youth's Companion.

Hard and Soft,

What" asked the teacher, "does an- 'thracIte meanf" ..
 That's kind of coal" said little Willie.
 "Yes. Anthracite coal is what we call hard coal So anthracite must mean hard Now. can you tell me what 'bituminous means;"
 That's coal, too." Willie replied.
 But 1t isn't the same kind of coal that anthracite is. is it? Bituminous coal Is what we commonly refer to as soft coal. Now. Willie. let us see if YOU can form a sentence containing the words anthracite and bitumInous."
 Willie thought the matter over for . minute and then said:

FINAL TEST OF CROssOvER.
Switch and Frog Manufacturers and
Railroads Interested in Invention.

A. M Jones. the well-known West
ern Maryland engineman, OF Hagers-
town, who is the inventor of several
railroad appliances, yesterday after
noon made the final test OF his rail-
road crossover, which he has had
patented. The test was made on the
Western Maryland railroad at North
Junction. The crossover is an appli-
ance by which trains can be conveyed
from one track to another, where
there are double tracks. BY such a
device in case wreck blocks one
track the crossover can be put down
and trains transferred to the other
track in an hours time or less. The
invention is one which has long been
needed by the large, railroads, whose
lines are double tracked Mr. Jones
has received communications from
several switch and frog manufacture
ers and also from several railroad
companies including the Baltimore &
Ohio, asking him whether the patent
is for sale and what price he has
set upon it.

NOT SEEKING COMPROMISE
DEBT SUIT WILL BE FOUGHT
OUT IN SUPREME COURT.
Authoritative Statement Is Made
By One of the Attorneys For
West Virginia.

Dean c. Il. Ilogg, of the University
Of West Virginia, who is member OF
counsel for the state In the Virginia
debt suit has given out an interview
which shows how those fighting the
suit fell ON the matter OF compro-
mise.
There Is not one word Of truth In
the stories which have been circulat-
ed concerning probable settlement
of the trouble between the two states
at the special session of the legisla-
ture in January.
Il understand that the governor will
include in his call the question of the
suit. but 1t Is done only that any legis-
lation deemed necessary or expedient
by the states counsel may be enact
ed. The reports that the governos
and other officials of the state are
planning to make Virginia an Offer
looking toward the adjustment and
final settlement of the debt contro-
v,rsy doubtless sprang from the
fact that the debt suit will be one OF
the items in the governors call.
Il know that 1t Is the intention OF
the attorney general and all interest
ed to fight the suit to the end, all the
members of our state counsl feel that
West Virginia has the better side
Indeed II any suggestion of compro-
mise should come 1t would be expect
ed from Virginia rather than West
Virginia.
Although the suit Is the oldest live
case on the docket of the United
States court. 1t will probably be q
long time before the final decree will
be entered. Up to this time no testi-
mony has been taken the question
EE.palw helores he qQurt AZ the discussion
Of the facts providing for the order Of
the master who will be appointed to
tuke the tstimony
Last week West Virginia filed its
suggestion of proper order, contain
ing rules governing the taking Of tes-
timony. At the same time counsel fol
Virginia filed its suggestion. The two
documents are entirely different, SO
the court had to take time to consider.
After the master Is appointed 1t will
be matter of months and probably
years before he can gather up the
mass OF evidence which will be re-
quired."

worse than useless, advertising by

IN speaking of desirable advertise

the association took up the report OF
the publicity committee in favor of

ideas OF the committee were approx
