 There can be little doubt that close
 observation of people, and ability to
 read their character and their
 thoughts, is of immense value in
 trade and commerce. especially for a shop assistant or salesman in per- suading people to buy goods. or in detecting would-be swindlers. It is said that you can tell a mans charac- ter from the way he wears his hat
 If it is slightly on one side. the wear CT Is good natured: if it Is worn very much on the side. he Is a swaggerer;
 fl one the back of his head. he is bad at paying his debts. while if worn starlight on the top, he Is probably honest. but very dull. The way a man or woman walks Is often a very good guide to character Witness the fussy. swaggering little man, pad ding along with short steps. with much arm action. the nervous mans hurried. jerky stride; the slow slouch of the loafer: the EmOoth-going and silent step Of the scout. and so on But Is IL surprising how much of the sole of the boot you can see when behind a person walking it Is equally surprising how much mean ing you can read from that boot.

PROF BONN'S CONCERT.
Music Lovers Given a Rare Treat al
 St Margarets School.


 Prof John L. Bonn, Waterbury s foremost pianist, was at his best last evening. Although slightly in disposed for day or two this did not in any way detract from the car rying out of the fine programme, the compositions of Chopin, Schuman, Schubert-Taussig and Beethoven, giv- en at St Margarets school last even- ing. The latter composer is Prof Bonn's fayorite no doubt. His rem dition of the Sonata Appassionata, op 57, was the work of master hand. It was brilliant and grand at all times. Several of those present who have heard the most noted pian- ists of the world perform this selec- tion, say that Prof Bonn's rendition of 1t came up to the best. This was followed by selections from Chopin as follows: Valse, op AZ; Impromp- tu, F sharp, op 36; Berceuse, op 57; Polonaise, A major; this number be. ing a most pleasing one, which gain ed for the performer rounds of ap- plause; Mazurka, B fiat, op 2, No 1 {; Scherzo, B fiat minor, op 31; Schu- mans Nachstueck, F, followed, and was one of the very enoyable num- bers. The recital closed with Schu- bert-Taussig's Marche Militaire, giv- en in a manner that brought out murmurs of praise from every corner of the hall. Prof Bonn was warmly congratulated at the close of the recital, as we'll as receiving rounds of applause from the large and we'll pleased audience.

FOUND DYING
John Bowling Expired Before a
 Physician Arrived.

John Bowling of East Main street was found in dying condition short ly before 9 o'clock this morning near the railroad track east of Dublin street, at point between the Thomp- son place and the trestle where young sters go swimming. John Reardon or Silver street was passing along that way when he noticed the man some short distance from the patch with his feet upward and his body resting on one shoulder A couple of boys were looking on at the time. MT Reardon picked the man up and made
 IS comfortable as possible until assistance arrived. Officer Cronan, who was on duty in that nelghborhood reported the case to the police sta ton and Detectives Kennaugh and Colesanto were sent out there. Dr Crane, the medical examiner was also called and visited the place, but the man was dead when the physician reached there. The body was removed to Bergin's morgue.
 John Bowling was about fifty years of age and had resided in Waterbury for many years. He was a native of Ireland and lived there until he was eighteen or twenty years old when he went to England. Several years ago he came to this city and resided here continuously since. He worked at Benedict & Burnham's and was at the bench in the factory Tuesday. The shop is running short time and with the rest of the hands he was laid off for the balance of the week. He was somewhat annoyed at the long spell of dull times and although he had no domestic troubles and was by no means in strengthened circumstances he talked good deal about 1t and it Is thought that the thing finally got him mentally unbalanced and he rambled into this lonesome spot and remained there all night. He was harmless, inoffensive man and had many friends who will be sorry to hear of his untimely death. Besides his wife he leaves a son.. Thomas, who is soldier in the Philippines, and daughter, Mrs Charles McAta- vey and brother, Patrick Bowling of this city. There Was some talk about the mans death being due to poison found in bottle nearby, but there appears to be some question about that. The funeral will be held Monday morning a

n heaven to shed light on that
illimitable world which lies
=: 49, beyond the tomb, and to re-
" veal to us a new life which
222J begins with death. He has
made known to us our origin and des-
tiny and the mean of attaining it.
He has brought not only light to our
intellects, but also peace to our hearts,
that peace which springs from the
knowledge of the truth and the hope
of the eternal life.
He has given benediction to the
home by proclaiming the unity, anc-
tity. and the indissoiubility of mar
riage. The wife is no longer the slave.
but the partner of her husband; she
is no longer a tenant at will, but the
mistress of her household; she is no
longer confronted by a usurping rival.
but she is the undisputed queen of the
domestic kingdom.
The aged poor are no longer at thu
mercy of heartless masters. They ara
not cast aside like a worn-out machine.
Their life is sacred like hat of in
fants, and they are comfortably pro-
vided for in institutions now spread
throughout C~hristendom.
The tender and compassionate spirit
of Christ has caused orphan asylums
and hospitals to spring up and bloom
IN every land. There is no phase OF
human misery and suffering that does
not find solace and relief in these es-
Establishments.
Human slavery has, at last, melted
away before the effulgent rays of the
gospel. To borrow with a slight para
phrase the words of a distinguished
writer, we can say with truth that
a slave stands redeemed, regenerated
and disenthralled as soon as he plants
his foot on the sacred soil of Christen-
dom.
The gospel proclaims the dignity OF
labor. Judged by it's standard, every
honest employment is honorable. how
mental soever it may be. 4
Christianity has been a peacemakerl
to the nations. By her beneficent I'M
fluence she has made wars far less5
frequent than they used to be underl
pagan regime.
Let us not grow weary of the salu.u
tary restraints of Christian life. Let
us not cast wistful glances toward
Egypt, from whose bonds we have
been rescued, nor long for its flesh
pots. Let us glory in our Christian
heritage; and, above all. let us not
be guilty of the mockery of leading
pagan lives while making profession
of Christianity, recalling to mind what
the apostle said to our gentle fore
fathers: "Ye were once darkness; but
now light in the Lord. Walk as the
children of light"
