Automobiles

are nice, comfortable articles to LOOK at as they go along our streets, but the know-it-alls that are allowed to run them are not so nice to look at, and goodness knows there are moro than two of them that should be doing time behind the bars. But it's very seldom they are punished, and we cannot account for this state of affairs unless it's either the owner of the machine or chauffeur has a pull" We'll, it's time our citizens had some protection; we think our citizens should be allowed to take the law in their own hands and pun ish the offenders right on the spot. The writer of this ad horse-whipped a chauffeur going to the Wolcott fair one year ago last fall, and we don't know whether he died or not; he's never shown himself since. How ever, we give him credit because he took his medicine and skiddoed. Say, we often think the cause of fast driving can be laid to the drinks of a chauffeur. Oh, dear, if they would drink good tea, coffee, cocoa or but termilk i've mean the quality we sell), how much more level their heads would be. In fact, our drinks are good and healthy for everyone.

DEATHS AND FUNERALS.
We'll Known People Who Have Been

 The funeral of Jacob Harf was held this afternoon from his late home, 1S5 Union street, with service at the house by the Rev MT Walters and in terment in Pine Grove cemetery. The bearers were Austin Quinn, Patrick Shea, James O'Keefe, John Lackney, Ernest Farley and Joseph Monahan.
 The funeral of Michael Hogan was held this morning at S:30 o'clock from the home of his sister, Mrs S. Stephens of 1S0 Cherry street to the Immaculate Conception church where requiem mass was celebrated by the Rev Father Frederick. The bearers were Bernard Mulcrone, Philip Fitz- patrick, William J. Flynn and John McCann. Intrment was in the family plot in St Joseph's cemetery.
 Thomas H. Mahon, fer many years drummer in the employ of the Ma tional Casket Co, died yesterday at his home in Bristol, after an illness of several weeks with stomach trou- ble. MT Mahon was native of Paw tucket, R. l., where his mother and other members of the family still re- side, including brother, Rev Father Mahon. He received a collegiate education, and was an exceptionally bright man. He made regular trips to Waterbury and had a wide ac- quaintance. Tall, handsome, and with decidedly clerical appearance, many often mistook him for a clergy man. Possessed of a charming pc-- sonality and apparently never out of sorts, he made friends wherever he went, and although he did this easily 1t was plain from his conduct that he wanted to make friends and hold them. He was a fourth degree K. of c. man and did much to popula -ize the order all over the New England states. Some years ago he married Miss Tanning, sister to the Rev Father Faning of Union City, who with five children survive him. The funeral will be held Monday morning and will be attended Ov quite a few Waterbury people. all of whom regret to know that they never again will see Tom Mahon's happy smile and hear his cheerful, familiar voice.
