hara. Have you q little Sahara In
your home? Chances are you have.
Nearly everybody except few Of US
intelligensia have. Even we have to
fight like well. like cats and
dogs to escape the blighting desert
aridity.
One memorable winter I resolved to
preserve proper humidity at all costs,
and accordingly had every radiator
In the hovel fitted with the only eff
cient portable humidifier I have yet
seen. This consists Of a capacious
tank covered with grill or screen, un-
der which is q rack or framework by
means Of which several yards Of por-
GUS wickiag Is suspended so that 1t
dips in the water and draws it up
where 1t is readily evaporated. Such
an arrangement will evaporate gal
lon or two Of water daily from each
radiator, register or stove.
Well, that winter we didn't use so
much fuel to keep comfortable, for
one thing. You might suspect that
the reason we required less fuel was
that I got so much more exercise
keeping the enormous flock Of humid
ifiers well watered. At all hours OF
the day and night ! was toting water
to those thirsty brutes, but never
got overheated that way, really. We
found the lower household tempera-
ture comfortable because the humid
ity did not fall so low. It Is well

Some people imagine steam or hot
water radiators do not dry the air out
as much as the air furnace does.
There is no choice between them on
that score. The thing that determines
the relative humidity or dryness Of

which you heat the air. At Ga to 60

Susan C. O'Neill

In the annals of the legal fraternity of Waterbury the name O'Neill plays prom inent part It began with the late John O'Neill. It includes Susan c. O'Neill, whose death occurred Saturday at her home in Woodbury For more than half a century Waterbury was accustomed to read of or both hear and see an ONeill pleading before some tribunal in this city or throughout the state. Therefore, it was no real surprise to Waterbury when a daughter of that grand old disciple of Blackstone earned her right to argue and plead before the bar of justice.
 The honors that came to Susan O'Neill were not merely those of an unusua nature, such as being the first practicing woman lawyer in the city and state and before the United States Supreme Court from this state. They were of more substantial cloth, too. She was by nature fitted for the career that she chose to follow. She had inherited the ability of her father. She had been given the full benefit of his many and rich years of experience in the law courts. She ampli- fled this with a fine education and training.
 When the death of her father occurred twenty years ago and the subsequent Ill health of her mother threw new duties upon her she nobly sacrificed her career for one of filial devotion and duty. From that day to the time of her death she had never practiced the profession which she graced so we'll during the early part of this century. She was truly a remarkable woman; one possessed of the highest prin- ciples and at the same time true appre- citation of her professional duties and also those of daughter. She was real de- scendant of distinguished and fine old Waterbury family.

FAIRLY CERTAIN
 By Art Quisenberry

No matter how thick skinned, one can always feel the pinch of poverty.
 A forecast of "rain or snow" doesn't mean you can have your choice.
 Criminals must be morons--to risk jail when there are so many legal ways to steal.
 A politician this season won't need to get his ear to the ground to hear plenty.
 Get knowledge. and it enables you to worry about a lot of things of which the ignorant are unaware.
 If the meek inherit the earth there Is a glorious future for the American-taxpayer.
 When a politician speaks it's not news, but when he refuses to speak that's news.
 To-day 1t is necessary for a man to make something more interest ing than a mouse trap if he wants anything besides a wolf to beat a path to his door,
 A child expert advises letting the child create his own emotional dynamo. Our experience has been that the problem is to get him to shut 1t off.
 But that Smith vile teweler who says he can repair a watch blind folded removes the bandage from his eyes before making out his bill.

The Trend Is Apparent

It is gradually being brought home to the voters of this state that the democrats have profted by the mistakes of the past twelve months and are building their bridges. The state central committee meeting in New Haven last week was the first indication of united front in our midst that brought with it encouraging news. It was encouraging in that it au- gured we'll for the future, even though perhaps decision on various places on the state ticket may be left up to the delegates to the coming convention.
 However, certain things are becoming settled in peoples minds For example, check-up last week of central committee men and women from any particular senatorial or congressional district would have revealed the fact that opinions are forming as to the proper candidates who will run this fall. One very encouraging report (from a Waterbury angle) was that which showed Major Joseph Smith of our fair city as gaining strength every day in the very spot where only a few weeks back we were being told opposition to him had formed.
 It only goes to prove that one mans statement or claim cannot always be ac- cepted as that of group. We have heard various claims advanced against the Smith candidacy for Congress. Incident ally it has to be conceded to him that he was the first democrat to proclaim him. self candidate publicly. The fact that Litchfield county does not want Water bury man to run this year must be dis counted considerably. He has plenty of supporters throughout the county and probably will have many more by conven- tion time
 There are 175 delegates to be elected to the fifth congressional district this year of which Litchfield county will have 99. That's a majority. Therefore Litchfield county could swing the convention one way or another if it voted solidly for any one candidate. But in view of the fact that a check-up reveals surprising Smith strength in various towns it is quite prop CT for Waterbury to expect, and rather confidently, too, that its man will get the nomination and with the aid of those sec tions which are reported from time to time to be opposed to him. All of which goes to prove that the test lies in the votes, not the claims.

A MURDERER RETURNS?
(Hartford, Courant)

A state policeman who should know the man asserts that on Tuesday he saw John Grove near his home in Wolcott. Grove, it will be remembered is wanted on a charge of shooting and killing two of his neighbors. He took to the woods, which are abundant in that vicinity. State policemen and coun- ty officers were soon on the trail, and, reminiscent of Uncle Toms Cabin, bloodhounds were brought and proved of so little use that one prehended through their aid. The have watched the territory and re- sponded quickly when persons who knew Grove sent word that they had seen him near the site of his shack on Tuesday. A A
 It is surprising in some respects that the man has not been cap. tured, as his recent appearance in- dicates that he had made no effort to ice from the state and, one sur misses, has spent most of his time not far from the scene of the crime. He must secure fod of some sort and while wild berries are abundant 1t is unlikely that he has depended solely upon them. It may be assumed that he has killed game and has roasted 1t after fashion but that involves a fire. the smoke from which might be noted.

WRITER WOULD ELIMINATE ROTARY TRAFFIC AT THOM-
 ASTON AVE.WEST MAIN ST.
July 14, 1884.

July IA, 1884. Editor of The Democrat:
 It would seem that the installa- ton of rotary traffic at the juncture of the newly built Thomaston ave- nue road and West Main street rather confuses than aids traffic at this point. 1 am writing perhaps more from the pedestrian's than the motorists point of view.
 As the matter now stands, the rotary traffic signals are placed so close in to the cross-walk that vest bound traffic practically has to drive up on the cross-walk over Thomaston avenue greatly en- dangering the lives of pedestrians who are crossing at the same time. This situation will be even a great CT menace in the fall when the school children are once more on the streets and have to use this crosswalk.
 know it is easy to find fault and as generally the case have no remedy to offer for the same. But in this case I would like to sub init what I think would be a remedy for the existing evil. In~ stead of employing rotary traffic at this point, to my way or tnlnklnS, dividing blinker light midway just off the crosswalk on the northerly side would serve just as well and altogether avoid the condition mentioned above. Thomaston ave- nue traffic would he slowed down in this manner before entering West Main street and the latter could go along as usual having the right of way the same as all main thoroughfares over intersect- ing streets.
 This I think Is an improvement upon the present situation and would like to see the Waterbury Democrat take up this matter with the proper authorities. who. think, after due consideration will see it in my way of thinking. At any event 1t Is only suggestion in keeping with the general move- ment for Safe Driving and l trust 1t will be taken for what it's worth.

How Tourists Pay

The value of what are called invisible exports" in nations economy is clearly illustrated by recent figures showing just what the tourist trade is worth to France. During 1883, for instance, American tour ists spent about 1,500,000,OOO francs in France. In that year, French exports to the United States were little more than half that value 1868, 100000 francs, to be exact In other words, as far as the United States is concerned, the tourist business is worth twice as much to France as is foreign trade.
 There's one other interesting little thing about it. French authorities have tabulat- ed the way in which the American tour ist's money is spent in France; and they have found that just per cent of it goes for what might be called wine, women and song. That considering the popular tra- dition about the American tourists way of amusing himself in Paris, seems sur prisingly low.

It was interesting to read that republi- cans in Connecticut are going to back old age pension laws. At least that's what Judge J. Kenneth Bradley of Westport said last week in the course of an address. We wonder if he was speaking merely for himself or for his party. He is by way of being Fairfield county g.o.p leader, so he must have known something of which he was saying. Still if the past is any criterion the republican legislators of this state will fight as shy of this issue in 1885 as they did in 1888 and 1881. It was quite evident in the last session that with little republican support an old age pen sion plan could have succeeded. If we re- member rightly there was too much oppo- sition from the manufacturers of the state, though It was Governor Cross who typifed democratic support of such social legislation. If the republicans are leaning over backwards now to straighten out the situation there must be something in the wind Time will reveal it.

Relief At Last

President Roosevelt's Caribbean visit is 8 welcome reminder of the fact that the American government is at last tackling the task of rehabilitating the economic conditions of the people who live on the island of Puerto Rico. These islanders welcomed American occupation at the close of the Spanish War; and yet, in the years since then, their membership in the American community has not done as much for them as they might reasonably have expected. In recent years, especial
