Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-10-17

tiOn ht HartIOru, marche0 past tho grand stand with the badge of mourning on their arms for the late Bishop Tierney, whose remains were then lying in state at the rectory on Pennington avenue. a hush of sym pathy fell upon the throng sp0n- taneously the entire audience arose, uncovered and stood silent. out of re- spect for him whose loss they all with the children mourned.
 The As You Like It Man thinks that Waterbury will soon be tho "Clty of Lights" If the business men continue to Illuminate their build ings during the evenings. In Ex- change place and along Bank street there Is flood of light at night now. Wenzels big arc lights were alone In their briIliancy few weeks ago but now they have the powerful arc lights on top of The Elton, in front of the Reid & Hughes's store and also in front of Hampson-Sel- lew's to keep them lin company. These with the electric arch which will soon be erected at the Grand street square wilk make that section the brightest portion of the town.
 The order of the Connecticut company which forbids all riding on the front platform of cars is carried out to the letter although the cor poration loses an occasional nickel by the rule. The As You Like It Man saw man get off the car a few nights ago when the conductor told him he could not ride in front. He evidently was a stranger. He was not smoking. But if the new rule has made more room for the motor man it has made 1t much more disagreeable for the conductor and passengers. The rear platform is generally loaded with men now who would be in front if the rules per mitted. It is a case of pushing ones way through crowd which seems to be all feet and elbows.
 Although cats are considered the greatest disturbers during the night the As You Like It Man is of the opinion they are not nearly as bad as an automobile which anchored on a public street keeps pufYing away for hours. One evening during the past week big machine with a big engine stopped on one of the prom inent street of the city and for more than two hours it made more noise than an army of cats. True the racket was not as ear piercing as a group of the night criers but it was such that almost everybody in the neighborhood must have been awakened from their slumbers. There should be an ordinance of some kind which would prevent an automobile from standing for hours on 8 street with its engine going at full blast.
 The As You Like It Man happened to be in dry goods store during the past week, the millinery depart ment, when a young woman entered with an extreme hat which soon had everybody in the place looking. A few moments later another woman, d tIlue OIucE tuau tuS uISty at iCdSt she was unless her appearance was deceptive, came hustling in with a swishing of skirts. She was about to purchase new hat. She natur- ally knew not what she really want ed. but when she glanced at the striking chapeau on Miss Attractive she immediately came to the conclu- sion that she wanted a duplicate of that So eager was the woman to tell the clerk that she wished hat like that on that young woman over there," the lady with the pret- ty headpiece became aware that she was the subject of their conversa- tion. It took her only the twinkling of an eye lash to realize that her hat was about to be copied so she grace fully stepped behind one of the dummies On the floor. The clerk was puzzled for when the young lady moved her hat was only partly visible. The clerk short time later went over In the direction of the dummy pretending there was something nearby which she wanted. Just about that time the young lady with the odd hat must have finished her business for she left the floor in a hurry. The woman who was going to purchase new hat was not smiling when the As You Like It Man left, and the clerk seemingly was having difficult time trying to get her interested.
