is to sacrifice a throne for love,
is spending most of today close
by a telephone, receiving news

During the year 1885, the motor vehicle department gave 45,805 ex- aminations for drivers licenses, more than for any other year since 1880. The percentage increase over 1884 is 8.9. An unusually large num- Der of examinations for the last quarter of the year were given; more than during the same period for any year in the history of the department with the exception of 1929.
 Depression Waning
 "ThiS is undoubtedly @ reflection Of the improved employment situ- atoin," the bulletin states. It adds: "The rate of recovery in the differ ent parts of the state is reflected more clearly in a comparison of the examinations for the past four years than in comparison with 1854 only.
 "New Britain, Bristol, Granby and Watertown this year doubled the examinations. of four years ago. Eight other points, all of them manufacturing towns, increased 50 per cent during the past four years, while 13 places, including New Ha- ven, Hartford and Bridgeport, in- creased 25 per cent to 49 per cent. Two places, Greenwich and New Canaan, had fewer examinations during the last year than four years ago."
 If the number of drivers licenses issued is as the motor vehicle de- partment believes, 8 criterion of the extent of recovery, Waterbury is disclosed as the most prosperous of the states larger cities. The increase in licenses issued here exceedd in- crases in Bridgeport, New Haven, and Hartford.
 Following are the totals year by year in the Waterbury district,

Sylvester died today. Mourning was very evident in the assessors office at the city hall. Sylvester, if anybody never met him, has been the assessors chief pet for the past three years. Raised from an infant, the three year old who, according to scientists, had a life span ahead of him of about 150 years, was nipped off by a severe cold this morning. .
 The deceased is the pet turtle that thousands have stopped to watch and admire on the desk of ex-Mayor William H. Sandland, @ member of the board of assessors. Decked out in a beautiful green dish, filled with water and a con- venient stone on which to bask in the rays of the overhead electric light, Sylvester had been expected to stay in the city hall and watch the political events of Waterbury for many, many years to come.
 "Yes, Sylvester's gone" com mented ex-Mayor Sandland to- day. Town Chairman John H. Crary, also a member Of the board, couldn't even crack 8 smile.
 The women employees of the of- flee did their best for Sylvester in his final, fatal illness, and when he kicked the bucket" they con- tinued to pay him proper honors. A nice green casket was obtained, just little bigger than tiny Sylvester. He was laid out on lace trimmed handkerchief. EX- Mayor Sandland clipped a bouquet
