MEMORIAL DAY
Amusements and Plans Sched. uled Met With Torreniial Rain.

There was very little doing in this city Saturday afternoon and evening and what promised to be one of the most lively Memorial days in years was just the reverse because of the disagreeable weather. The stores that were open in the morning did brisk business but during the after noon and evening very few buyers made their appearance. Several Of the stores that intended to keep open in the evening had enough of 1t at . o'clock and locked the doors for the night. Those that opened in the even- ing closed early as there were very few persons on the streets.
 There is no question but what the disagreement over Saturdays clos ing has caused much hard feeling among the business mems association and it is doubtful if they will come to any settlement in regard to the Fourth of July programme. Satur- day evening storekeeper remarked to a reporter that the agreement for Fourth of July would be Let each man do as he pleases."
 The weather of Friday evening was such that the stores that were open did a fairly good business. Saturday morning was also favorable to the merchants and there is no doubt but what there would have been some business in the afternoon and evening had the weather been fine.
 The weather took some ardor out of the G. A. R. veterans but 1t held off well until they had almost com pleted their exercises. Thousands would undoubtedly have gone to Hamilton park had the sun been shin ing.
 Many people had anticipated leav- ing the city and spending the after noon at the shore but the weather changed the programme and as a re- suit the number that stayed at home was far in excess of other years.
 The parade as arranged and carried out under the supervision of sWad- hams post, c. A. R., was fitting tribute to the day and there is no doubt but from now on Waterbury will witness a big parade on Decora- tion day each year. Many of the com panies in the line of march caused much comment but especially the Company E, Hibernian Rifles buglers. These twelve young men made their first public appearance on Saturday and their work was most commend able. They have been practicing for about four months and in their ranks are some of the best buglers in the city

BROOKLYN BRIEFS

Miss Katharine Mahaney of Bank street entertained friends from Torrington yesterday.
 MT and Mrs Charles Stigberg of New York are visiting the formers parents on Bank street.
 Henry Morrison of Bank street is laid up with sprained ankle re- ceived while playing ball one day last week. =
 The Rev J. NJ. Gleeson, pastor of St Patrick's church, attended the dedication of the church of St Thom- as the Apostle in Thomaston yester- day.
 Augustus Lloyd and family of Bank street are moving from Brook lyn to take up residence in North ampton, Mass. They have lived in this section for more than ten years. MT Lloyd was employed as machin- ist in the Farrel foundry until the depression in business came.
 While Smiths drug store, at the corner of Bank and North Leonard streets was closed Saturday afternoon some one broke the large window in the door. It looked as though some ones elbow went through for at 5 o'clock when the clerk called around to open up there was scarcely bit of glass left in the frame.
 Although the Brooklyn Athletic team was defeated yesterday the fact that the players did more batting than in any other game this season should give their rooters some en- couragement. The Brooklynites made enough runs to win an ordinary game but the Hills were also using the wil- low to good effect and came out on the big end of the score.
 Saturday evening Miss Louise Malone of Bank street attended the farewell dinner of Miss Josephine Shea of Hartford, who will be mar ried tomorrow morning to Attorney George Rourke of Seattle, Wash. The dinner was served at Heublein's. Miss Malone will be bridesmaid at the wedding tomorrow and Attorney Au- gustus Hart of Hartford will be groomsman. Miss Shea is we'll we'll known in this city and has often visited In town.
 Burton c. Hull. conductor for the Connecticut Co, was thrown from his car on Bank street Saturday af- ternoon and his shoulder blade was broken in addition to several minor bruises which he received. Hull, who is one of the oldest men in the employ of the company, was going along the running board when the accident happened. It was raining fast and he was eager to collect the fares. It seems he reached for one of the han dies on the side of the car and mis- judged the distance. The car was eo- ing at a moderate rate of speei but nevertheless he was thrown heavily to the pavement. It looked as though he would land on his head. but lucki- ly he did not The pavement in front of the Plume & Atwood factory where the accident occurred was strewn with coin as the money fin Hull's clothes was thrown all over the street. The conductor showed a lot of pluck for after a short delay he went with the car to the end of the line and rode back with 1t to the cen ter before he was taken to his home on weiton avenue.

l'urTal Dry Goods Go We Start on the Second Week
 of the Great Arnold Print Works
 Auction.

It is not every year that the public get such a wind fall millions changed hands as the result of the failure of the above concern, and it is now in the hands of the merchants to deal out the prizes to their customers.
 We were perhaps the lar- gest individual buyers at this sale because of the immense quantity of goods used by our New York branch and the prices we obtained the goods for were much lower than could be had by smaller buyers, hence our customers come in for best of a good deal.
 Here are some of the new things which have only just made their appearance as ow- ing to the great business done at the auction shipments are slow.

THANKSGIVING Bill Well Received.

The Thanksgiving bill at the Coll
scum was we'll received. The Gardiner
public showed itself just as much in
love as ever with the Boys Band OF
Lewiston and when those clever little
musicians and their director, Brother
Aimon, marched on the stage 1t was
the signal for a general round OF ap-
plause at both afternoon and evening
performances The band selections and
the solos by Eugene Bazinet and Emile
Dube left nothing to be desired. Billy

sician, not only raised laugh but gave
instrumental selections of much merit
in that unique manner all his own.

The Library Entertainment.

The Library entertainment held al
City hall last evening was in every
respect success. The many piano Sc
lections were all we'll received. Holmes
Brothers with their songs and jokes
furnished much amusement for the
audience. Beautiful vocal solos were
rendered by Miss Catherine Currier and
Miss Margaret Haines. The pumpkin
drill by eight young ladies was well
executed and the grotesque makeups
provoked much laughter. Several fine
recitations were given by Miss Urania
Durlissea The whistling by Clarence
Shepherd drew much applause. The
flag drill by 20 young ladies was q
beautiful spectacle and was carried
out without a single hitch. rejecting
much credit on the work Of Miss Whit.

RAINY DAY FOOTBALL.
Gardiner Trimmed HailoweIl Decisive
ly in Sloppy Weather Game.

A team of Gardiner High school and
ex-High school players defeated
picked team from Hallowell by a score
of II to 0 on Quimby field Thanksgiv-
ing forenoon. The gridirOn was in
about as bad condition as it could be
ON account of mud, and the greater
part of the last period was played in
pouring ram, making trick plays i'm
possible and compelling the opposing
players to resort to old fashioned
main strength football. Perry and
Eldridge were the stand for Gardiner
and Patterson did good work for the
visitors.
1t was about the middle of the first
half when Perry, the Gardiner left
halfback bucked the line and secured
the first touchdown. He attempted to
kick a goal, but misjudged and the ball
went wild. Gardiner kicked to Halo
well and the ball went behind the goal.
The Gardiner players claimed that it
should be allowed a safety giving them
two points, while Hallowell claimed
that the play was only a touchback.
WHICH would not count. Umpire Conant
decided to leave the play out of the
game unless the score should be such
consideration and pass judgment upon
it. just as time was called at the end
of the first period, Patterson, the Hall
lowell quarter, ran back Il punt about
As yards.
Through tho greater part of the rainy
second hats tAc Players of the oppos-
ing teams kept the ball going back and
forth over the muddy, slippery grounds
until finally Eldridge, the Gardine er
right half scored touchdown en- a
| block punt and Perry kicked goal.
Neither side scored for the remainder
of the period
The game was witnessed by a fair
sized crowd in spite of the rain and

The Christmas. Stamp Of the Red Cross.


The Christmas stamp of the Red
Cross is soon to be put on sale at the
different stores of this city and, al.
ready this interesting and helpful
work has been taken up by several who
have interested themselves.
In 1904, in Denmark, the government
isshed a Christmas stamp with the
Kings head and the word "Jul" the
same as our "Yule'' on it. 1t was not
good for postage only as a sticker for
Christmas letters. post cards and
packages. The, proceeds frem 1t were to
go toward building a Tuberculosis hos
pital for little children. 1t succeeded
beyond all expectation 4.0O0;600 being
sold at one-half a cent piece. fssStSA
America needs suehas stamp, but IA
account Of her;present postal law reg
ulations her spostoffiee officials cannot
handle it. and, a. special act of Con-
gress. would be necessary. It seemed
hopeless to, try but the Red Cross So
ciety took. the matter in charge and
with the approval Of the postal author
ties took up, the Christmas stamp last

This was the state of Delaware. The
state on the whole was ignorant and
uninterested on the subject, yet the
stamp. printed and put on the market
only 18 days before Christmas amazed
everyone by it's sensational record
The schools and Women's Clubs, also
the department stores. banks, drug
stores and hotels sold it, People used
the stamp on letters, packages and
business firms on their correspondence.
The stamp will not carry postage, it
will not carry any kind Of mail. but
any kind of mail will carry it. Each one
who uses the stamp will help stamp
out the great white plague" The pro-
ceeds in each state go towards tuber-
