Hon. r. E. Mitchell, Republican
Enthusiast Proud Of Outlook

1t is never a mistake to have
an enthusiastic champion of Re-
publicanism in your community.
Keystone has many reasons to
be thankful over the fact that
in Mr.. Mitchell there is not only
a Republican enthusiast but a
striking and uncompromising
believer in the principles of Re-
pblicanism which outstand the
sordid and narrowly bone-head-
ed methods of wanting peanut
fellows to direct or attempt to
direct the public welfare. Mr..
Mitchell, who always has been
a close CONTRACTOR in the affairs
of the Republican struggles, es-
pecially around Charleston, was
coo all the time and predicted
Republican victory. He and Wal
ter S, iIalanan are close partisan

BOMB ATTEMPT IS
 STUDENT PRANK

Cambridge, Mass, Feb. 23-(UP) -Ballisticians today regarded as student prank an apparent attempt to bomb Wolff's Tutoring school near Harvard University's Widener library.
 State Police Ballistician Charles J. Van Amburgh said, however, that the crude internal machine found near the entrance to the scholo yesterday could have caused a de- vastating blast if the ingredients were proeprly put together.
 The bomb" consisted of bottle, a quantity of black powder, a heavy charge of buckshot, and a kerosene soaked string. Smudges on the stair way where the bomb" was found indicated that the string had been ignited in an effort to explode the device.
 Many Harvard undergraduates have been tutored at Wolff's. Both Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr. and his brother John patronized the school while at Harvard.

brought similarly to the Visiting Nurse home, 37 Central avenue. These, too, so far as possible, will be acknowledged in the columns of The Democrat.
 The statements of Dr. Mason and Dr. Jackson, urging support of the campaign, are printed in full, as follows:
 Statement of Dr. Andrew J. Jackson:
 "As a Commissioner of the Board of Health, have, for the past several years, known of the cooperation your organization has whole-heartedly given to this De- partment of City Government; particularly, in the efforts you have put forth in Child Welfare and the assistance you have rem dered in the immunization at the pre-school clinic. It is also grati- flying to observe the conduct of your nurses, when they are called to render assistance to the sick and needy. Their work in the pre- vention and spread of communi- cable diseases is a service which is indispensable to the welfare of our community.
 It has been my privilege to re- quest, on numerous occasions, your organization to carry on treatments at the home of patients who, otherwise, could not have re- ceived the excellent nursing care, if it were not the Visiting Nurse Association. Furthermore, the prenatal work that your Associ- ation offers to the expectant mothers is invaluable, not only to the mother but to the child. It does not occur to me that the pub lie of Waterbury can afford to have the Visiting Nurse Associa- ' ton curtailed in any one of these most important works, and I feel personally that it is a moral ob- ligation as a citizen of Waterbury to contribute financially and any other way in which I may be called upon to assist"
 Statement of Dr. B. Henry Mason, Supt. of Waterbury Hos- pital:
 "The precarious financial status of the Visiting Nurse Association

activities are a tremendous asset to the communities they serve. It is my opinion the very valuable services now being rendered by the Visiting Nurse Association of Waterbury should receive full- heartedly the strong financial support of our citizens, in order that 1t may not be necessary for financial reasons to curtail the work to any degree

Bad Weather Blamed

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 1.-THE
spring rise in retail trade lost some
momentum during the past week,
but merchants regarded unfavorable
weather as a primary factor in the
showdown, Dun & Bradstreet re-
ported today in its weekly business
review.
with snow and rain hindering
the expansion Of spring buying, re-
tail trade had difficulty in bettering
its total of the preceding week." as
serted the survey.
MEMS and womens apparel was
most severely affected, a number
of stores reporting that sales in
these departments were below the
corresponding week of 1898, despite
the earlier date of Easter this year.
"The low volume a year ago and
the earlier Easter this year COM
bined to make the year-to-year
comparison favorable. The average
for the whole country was estimated
3 to 7 per cent higher than in the
1888 period.
"Postponment of spring promo
tions due to adverse weather con-
ditions was reflected in wholesale
markets, principally in a decline in
recorder activity.
There were reports that stores
with merchandise on order were
calling it out more slowly, but these
cases were infrequent. Most mer-
chants who had not already COM
pleted spring assortments appeared
anxious to do so as early as possible,
anticipating a sharp expansion in
consumer purchasing as soon as
the weather became more favor
able.
Compared with the same week
a year ago the volume of orders
placed was between 4 and 8 per cent
larger"
