WhistIer's Grocery Bill.

Whistler's financial affairs were the mingled joy and terror of his friends. and the Pennells, in their Life of Whistler give most amusing glimpse into this side of his life. On one occasion he had actually run up a bill of f600 with a Chelsea green grocer, who at last called to insist upon payment. Whistler came out strong on that occasion:
 "How-what-why-why, of course, you have sent these things-most ex- cellent things-and they have been eaten, you know, by most excellent people. Think what splendid adver- tisement! And sometimes. you know. the salads are not quite up to the mark-the fruit. you know, not quite fresh. And if you go into these un- seemly discussions about the bill well, you know, shall have to go into discussions about all this, and think how it would hurt your reputation with all these extraordinary people. think the best thing is not to refer to the past-I'll let 1t go. And in the fu- ture we'll have q weekly account wiser. you knowm
 The greengroeer left without his money. but received in payment two nocturnes, one the blue upright Val paraiso.

BIG NIGHT FOR POLICE.
Blue Coats Marked the Slate Thirty
 Nine Times.

In all the history of the police de- a record for arrest made as last nights. In all there were thirty nine names on the slate, and both sides of the slate were requistioned Thirty-nine would more than fill the dock in the city court twice over, so this morning all the first timers were let go and the second timers if they showed any repentance at all were given a caution and released. So that there was not room for an other prisoner in the dock when the gang filed in this morning. They were mostly all what the police call "drunks," with sprinkling of breaches of the peace and carrying concealed weapons. The following constituted the business of the court, Judge Peasley presiding: Michael Smith, farm hand from Middle bury, drunk, $5 and costs; Gustave Senops, drunk, $5 and costs; Joseph Martinez, breach of the peace, $5 and costs. Martinez struck Senops with bottle on the temple Edward Stack and Patrick Hayes, both drunk, thirty days, each, jail; Fore man Wallo, drunk and breach of the peace, $10 and costs; John Magen- his, breach of the peace, s5 and costs; John Astrosky, drunk, $5.
 The following settlements were made:: Enos McMullen, drunk. $5: Charles Dehorio. carrying concealed weapons, SEQ; John Alta, intoxica- tion and breach of the peace, SIP; Luigi Vitello, breach of the peace, S7; Antonio Cerasani, intoxication and breach of the peace, SIP; David Brodeur, breach of the peace, s7: Frank Galic, breach of the peace and intoxication, SIP; Luigi Tozzi, intoy- ication and carrying concealed weap- ons, $25; and Bomola Mangini, the same. S20 Nangini apparently thought himself in the old country where Christmas is celebrated by discharging fire arms. He made things hot on Railroad Hill street.

HILL FIXING 'EM UP.
Congressman Who Wants to Be Sen
 atOr in Town To-day.

Ebenezer J. Hill, congressman from the fourth congressional dis trict,wa in town to-day in the. inter- ests of his campaign to succeed Frank Brandegee of New London as United States senator.
 MT Hill seems to think he has d claim upon the votes of Waterbury s republican representatives in the general assembly because he stumped for Lilley and the state ticket in the recent campaign. His visit to-day was not so much to see the poliLi- cians, who to a great extent would be on the fence anyway, than it Was to call upon presidents of the big manufacturing concerns of the city.
 Senator Irving H. Chase, from the fifteenth senatorial district (the first, second and third wards), as the rep resentative of one of the principal in dustries in the city, the Waterbury Clock Co, and as state representa- tive from his own senatorial district, has openly espoused the candidacy of Mr Hill. Representative Abner P. Hayes is said to be non-committal and Representative A. I. Goodrich is also said to favor MT Hill.
 MT Hill is confident he will be elected by the general assembly, but he is well aware he will have no walkover. Senator John Hurley's vote is not sought for at present, he being democrat. There seems to be a general impression that the local representation in the state assembly will cast it's vote for MT Hill. The fight to succeed Brandegee in the United States senate is one of the bitterest that has ever stirred the ranks of the republican party.

CHRISTMAS DAY HERE
Churches We'll A'ltDded aud Business Entirely Suspended.

Christmas day passed of rather quietly in this city and the large ma jority of people spent the festive day in their own homes. The weather was ideal early in the morning, con sequently the attendance at the church services was unusually large. There were many new frocks to be seen and some gorgeous hats, but the skies darkened and the weather De- came unpleasant before noon, which, of course, prevented the usual holi- day parade of finery in the after noon.
 Although the floral stores did q tremendous business, working all Thursday night, flowers were not as much in evidence yesterday as migh; be expected. Cut flowers, according to the florists. were expensive this year, but they claim the business could not have been much better. Holly and evergreen sold in large quantities and were profusely used upon the altars in the various church es. Practically the only forms Of amusement were the theaters. which were well attended in the afternoon and evening. Many of the saloon keepers, following their Christmas custom, closed their doors early and did no business during the evening.
 The Salvation Army treated hun dreds of women and children to big dinner, while Superintendent Bren- nan of Brookside gave his inmates spread they will long remember.
 The services at both the Catholic and Protestant churches were well at tended and some excellent musical programmes were rendered. The l l o'clock mass at the Immaculate Con- ception church was solemn high, cele- brated by the Rev Father Mooney. Father Flynn was deacon, John Sul- livan sub-deacon and Father Brennan master of ceremonies. The sermon was delisered by Rev James Broderick. Alter mass benediction was held and during the remainder of the day there was no services in the church. The musical programme was as follows: hNiNi bo iSe'AhuiSi V "Kyrie Eleison" .... krawutshke Gloria .... ....... kraWutschke "CredO' ....1 .... .... Mercadante "Sanctus" .. ..... krawutschke "Adeste Fidelis" ...... .. NOvellO "Agnus Dei' ....... Krawutschke Postlude .... .... .... Wely
 The soloists were: Soprano, Mrs c. Hollihan, Mrs E. R. Stevens; alto, Mrs NJ. J. Magner; tenor, Edward Downey; bass. J. F. Sullivan.
 Organist, John Hughes.
 The following programme was ren- dered at the 10 o'clock service at Trinity, church:
 Prelude, Spring Song" McFarlane ''Te Deum" and "Jubilate" Buck Intrisot, anthem, Sing, o Hea-
 ven lOutO Cffertory, anthem, Sing to tho

BY the following data obtained in ex-

recton. and further illustrate the inn
portance oi supplying soils with vcge-
table matter on which complete iertili-
zcrs are used. On rather thin land on
which cowpeaS were plowed under and

pounds 81 muriatc 81 potash gave a
bushcl oi increase at a cost OF 10
cents. In these two instances the in
crease from the use ni fertilizers was
between ten and eleven bushels per
acre. Acid phosphat alone applied AT
the rate ni 500 pounds per acre gave a
hushcl 81 increase at cost ot y cents.
We are 81 the opinion that practically
the same increase would have been OBJ
