1' WATERBURY EVENING DEMOCRAT; SATURDAY; Cf" IBER 8, 1900 i AS YOU LIKE II Some Stray Leaves From A Reporter's Note Book. , A colored gentleman, a resident of Bishop street, says that people needn't De in any hurry about getting ready their cutters 1 his season, for he feels satisfied that, there, will be mighty little sleiirhiug. lie bases his calcula- !.. .... . 41 4?... .4. 4-1... 4:... .4.

It snowed Thanks-, giving morning, but it was all gone - before night so that if there be any thing in The colored gentleman's con tention the boys and girls will not nave many sieigmng parties miring the present winter. Some time ago Acting Medical Ex aminer Graves spiked the bell on his .office door and had an artist print the words '"Walk In"' in large letters on the plate glass, just a little above the .lutauwii ii ine ut-n. mi n 1:1 eiui in its old place although it refuses to speak during the day time. Since the change was made a reporter wanted to see the physician at his office, and being accustomed to the bell lie never dreamed of looking at Hie new "Walk , In" sign, but kept trying to compel the instrument to perform its accus tomed functions until the doctor open ed the door and pointing to the sign said. "Don't you see that':" apparently S IfiHu flllWM' if till! -T ullrvwi 111. '7Ml4 reporter took ill the situation and re plied in an apologetic tone "I can't read, doctor." The tiling worked like a charm and instantly the medical ex aminer's face was wreathed in smiles. ,and the scribe was ushered to the soft est couch in the waiting room where the doctor imparteu to him such infor mation as he desired in his usual good natured way. Another proof in sup port of the old adage. "A soft answer turmjfh away -wrath." , "I wanted io give you people a good Item yesterday." said a clerk in one of the stores to the As You Like If Man. to-day, "and having an idea that the office call was oo I rung up central and was answered by ih.mi. which is no other place than the police station, in this fashion. "Oil. you're 1.0O0 miles off." I tried if again and of course got the same number and central being alert, heard ine explain my predica ment to tii.Ht. and sent this shot at me over the wire: "Six hundred isn't the Democrat!" 'Oh!' I replied, gently, thinking the fair hello girl was coin ing to my rescue: 'what is it. please?' 'Look in the book and see!' were the woijds that came rushing into my ear. I was a stranger to the few people who happened to be in the office wliero I sought to make connections with the paper, and it being close onto press hour and not caring to expose my ig norance of the telephone directory. I put back the trumpet on the hook and walked away, satisfied that the hello girl could have done no worse. It is against the rules of the company for operators to instruct people regarding numbers, but I have a faint idea that bunglers from abroad should be made to feel that while the rules are rigid, the operators are courteous, for it makes a world of difference the way one 13 informed of a mistake." ' . . What a rebuke to the fathers of this country to hear Balfour stanJ up in the British house of commons and justify the barbarous treatment the Boers are being subjected to in S;jntli Africa by quotations from the military rules of the United States. There was something significant in Tim Healey's query to Balfour's renuirkson ihis subject as well as in the reply thereto, which was substantially as fol lows: Healey: , "What date do these regulations bear?" Balfour: "Thev are dated 1S99." Mr Healey: "Aha. They were'made to fit t lie ca.se. They were framed after America got into the same stew Kngl.and now finds'her sell" in in South Africa."" No wonder the radicals expressed amazement that the American republic should have sanctioned rules of war which virtual ly deprive small nationalities of the rights of belligerents. Judging by the way the government is being scored right at their own door for their South African policy it would seem that the Orange Free State and Transvaal republics, who are battling for their homes and their firesides, have more friends in the house ;f commons than in the congress of the Vnltd States. The average English man has a pretty keen conception of right and wrong and were it not for the power the aristocracy wiolds over i Iil.1-41 it- w olfa i do., tlmt ,,.. X-f ........ - - V r . . ...

John Moriarty of the Waterbury Furniture Co. was in a reminiscent mood the other day and talked inter estingly to a few citizens about his old time friend and associate. Coil; tractor Michael . Cady of New York"' whose name has lieen mentioned so frequently in the papers the past few weeks in connection witli his big sewer contract in Havana, involving some thing in the neighborhood of 13.1MX. I00. Cady and Moriarty worked to gether when they were boys making 1 wo-cent bundles of wood in the Brook lyn navy yard and although both- have since traveled in - widely different fields, still they have managed to keep ill) an acquaintance and when they meet they rarely ever part without reverting to the time .when they work ed in the navy yard putting up bundles of wood such as are sold iu the stores for the modest sum -. of two cents. Moriarty's father, Eugene, an aforetime Irish schoolmaster, . who could talk Latin and Greek as readily as English, was weigh master at the navy yard for several years and Cady's father was a carpenter at -the-same place and the two youngsters used to Take great delight rushing each other at the business of bundling the wood And. If one happened to be a trifle ahead of the other at quitting time, which was often the case, he invaria bly madeufor-his dad to tell him alxntt it. 'Twenty years' after this, . when Cady and Moriarty were skilled -stone cutters, they met as workmen, at the . the post .office building in Ne.w Yqrk And while there often indulged in a chat over the time when they turned Jionest pennies out of the wood busi ness. The world has used both men fairly well since the time of their boy hood, but it is doubtful if.. either. c.ver knew as happy moments as when he' found himself a . - two-cent . . bundle ahead of bis pompetitor In tiie 'Brook- ' nnnif Y'nrY ntwl -CTnfi-m1 liunn tlmit lv to eouiuiunleate-tue fact, to bis ''pop.!'

Talking Up a Gubernatorial .Candidate ".'" for 1 Situ:.. .. , ; s - v ... Chairman Thayer, of the. democratic State central committee, was in New Haven yesterday afternoon for the pur pose of finishing iip the lmsiness of the J last campaigu and consulting with lo cal leaders Iii "regard" fo the" future of tlie'jiarty in this state. 'He Had,-a long conference with Judge Blydenburg, who had the management of Judge Bronson's campaign for the governor ship. - Mr Thayer told a - Register re porter that it hadn't, been decided whether the party would establish per manent headquarters In this state,- but he was of the impression that no other rooms 'would be engaged for. the pres ent. He will remain at the head of the committee arid. will be accessible at all times at Norwich, It was learned from another source-that Judge Bron son's candidacy two years hence was discussed bv Chairman - Thayer and others. It is said that Judge Bron scn is inclined to permit' the use of his name in the gubernatorial race again, but hasn't - definitely decided, . Some of the leaders hope he will stand again and give an early decision on the mat ter, that the campaign for the elec tion in 1H02 may be got under way comparatively early. tt is thought that such 'early 'action is advisable as Hie republicans practically start on a new campaigu as .soon as the old is finished.

Tex. says: An important step toward the build ing of a new trans-continental railroad line was taken .to-day in the presenta tion to the attorney-general of Texas for approval of the charter of the Chi cago, Rock Island and Mexico Rail road company, which road is to be a part of tlie Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific system. l The .charter provides for ihe exten sion of tlie Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific road from its present south western terminus at Liberal. Kan. to White Oaks. New Mexico, where it will connect with the El Paso and Northeastern, running from While Oaks Jo El Paso, Tex. a distance of 144 miles. The Chicago.

December 15. The proposed extension from Liber al. Kas. to White Oaks, will be about 400 miles long, of which 110 miles will be in Texas. The stockholders of the Chieatro.

The Individual in question has trav eled thousands- of miles and passed through about two-thirds of the states in the Union, on one occasion making a trip from Chicago to Southern Cali fornia without the formality of pay ing fare. While not being exactly able to be classed among tlie "tales of ex tanks" yet his experience'-.' will no doubt be full of interest .and oil are welcome to hear the same. "As be is nt present Hying in Waterbury, for obvious reasons his name is not men tioned here, but for the good of the work, lie has ' consented to relate in public some of his past experience.

'" 'i' 'Carriage Robe,. .: . , , Michael Kmuedv w.ts before' the"Vlt y court, to-day !vhargedMwith i-oinpllcitv in. the crime of theft, of acarrluge robe, for which , his brother James was- lined ?7 aiid costs yesterday and sentenced to thirty days in jail. The owner or the property, John L. Saxe, testified in tbe same strain as he did yesterday, that. he threw the robe ;over'hls horse while, he was in Ids house on Clay street for a few minutes, and when he came out the robe was gone. Later Detective Caliey saw tlie accused .and his brother with the robe in their pos session on Chatfield avenue. Kennedy insisted that he was. Innocent and called upon James Corr. his friend, to bear him out. but Corr declined to say anything and Kennedy was given the panie sentence as his brother got, $7 and costs and thirty days in jail. Frank McMorrow was charged with intoxication and disorderly conduct, and Mrs Margaret Lynch was charged with intoxication also. Both were ar rested together. Officer Noouan testi fied that last evening he was given in formation to the effect that his pres ence was necessary in tlie woman's apartments. AVheti he went there the place was enveloped in darkness and this, combined with his hearing noises inside, convinced him that his informant-was not misinformed. A few min utes later McMorrow tried to get out of tlie place. A light was struck and a- most miserable picture was revealed. Want and negligence was apparent and two small children were sitting and shivering on tlie lino;-. .There was no lire in the stove and the stove-pipe was disconnected. Mrs Lynch v.'iis intox icated ami unable to do anything. The neighbors down stairs took the children for the night and a search was made for- the others that were playing on the street. The court was in a quandary what to do. The last time the woman was in court litr relatives promised to take the children, and as one of them is a baby in arms it would not do to send the woman to prison. .The court com promised by sentencing her to thirty days in the almshouse, and if thfc'chil dren are not taken care of meanwhile they will lie handed over to soiih in stitution. Selevtman Dovau said the woman's relatives would takp them. BIU'SSKI.S IXrXDATKD. liri'ss.-l-:.
