RUBBER ! STRETCH IT.
ffhe Trust Has Stretched the Price on
:- Rubber Goods.
The little snow squull. of yesterday
made business good for the shoe deal
ers and gave purchasers of rubbers
ari opportunity to see what the trust
has been doing in the way of helping
out the poor man. Rubbers went up
5 per cent on November 1, just the
time they thought there would be a
big rush for them, but while the man
ufacturers were disappointed in this
respect, still they have kept up the
price so that the articles cost more
now than you could buy them for half
a year ago. Some cf the small con
cerns that are doing business inde
pendently of the trust, are making
things hot for the big fellows, and if
they keep at it they will soon succeed
in compelling the trust to drop their
prices or buy them up. The independ
ent concerns are selling goods 5 per
cent lower than the trust, but they are
not able to supply the demand, and in
consequence dealers have to pay the
additional 5 cents to the trust whether
they like it or r and in turn they
get it out of their customers, the old
story over again, let the last man pay
all. The trust held a meeting iu New
York last week for the purpose of de
vising a scheme to rid themselves of
the competition they are up against on
account of the small concerns. One
proposition was to buy them out and
the other aimed at driving them to the
wall by a cut in prices of 23 per cent,
and if that failed to choke them, make
it 50 per cent. The pros and cons of
both plans were discussed for the
greater part of two days, and finally
the meeting ad.iourned without coming
to an understanding as to what was
best to do in the premises. The
small plants are becoming so numerous
that the trust has grown tired of swal
lowing them and would now prefer to
throttle them to death by competition
and probablv that is what will be de
cided upon. The little fellows should
be encouraged, for were it not for
them ordinary mortals could not afford
to wear rubbers to-day. One of the
local shoe dealers showed a customer
n pair of rubber boots this morning
that are listed at $3.75 a pair. He
said that he sold the same class of
goods a few years ago for $2.50 and
that he made as much out of them at
$2.50 as lie does now nt ihe advanced
price. Where does Ihe difference be
tween $2.50 and $3.75 go? What a
silly question. It goes into the pock
ets" of the men who own the rubber
tnist. thanks to McKinley and the rest
of our republican friends, Baker Kel
lv included.
THE ALUMNI'S ANNUAL.
Bub-Committees Appointed at Last
Night's Meeting.
The Alumni of the Waterbury Higli
school held another very important
and highly interesting meeting in the
High school building last night and
arranged further details for their
grand annual concert and ball to be
held New Year's night in the City
Iiall. It was the general opinion of
those present that the elaborateness
and magnificence of the event should
equal if not surpass the one given last
year. Consequently neither pains nor
expense will be lacking to make it
the greatest social event of the year.
The music will be of an exceptionally
high order and will be furnished joint
ly by a baud and orchestra. A bril
liant concert commencing nt S o'clock
will precede the dancing. The hall
will be prettily and tastefully decor
ated with flags and bunting and from
behind innumerable potted plants the
band and orchestra will supply music.
Tickets for the affair can be obtained
from various members of the alumni
or can be purchased at Driggs &
Smith's. As the supply is limited and
already there are assurances of a large
gathering it would be well for in
tending purchasers to secure their
tickets at once. Tickets will cost one
dollar each and already over 350
tickets have been pledged. No one
needs expect complimentary tickets,
as these tickets will be conspicuous
this year by their absence.
The following sub-committees were
appointed last evening: Printing, Dr
J. D. Freney and the Misses Loretta
Hayes and Katherine Charters: decor
ating, the Misses Vena Smith, Rose
McDonald, Martha Pollak. Clara
Livingstone and John B. Grady; re
freshment. James A. McDonald;
music. T. F. Carmody. M. J. Noonan.
Frank Spellman and the Misses Helen
Kaiser and Jennie Culhane; press. Dr
T: J. Kilmartin. James A. McDonald
and Miss Libby Quinn.
TO PREVENT SMALLPOX.
The Demand for Vaccine Virus Ex
ceeding All Records.
New York, Dec 12. In consequence
or the cases of smallpox which have
occurred in this city lately, the de
mand for vaccine virus by physicians,
to use In their private practice, exceeds
all demands in previous years.
The corps of vaccinators sent out by
the health department has been In
creased and the scope of their labors
widened. After to-day they will visit
the better class of apartment houses
and private dwellings up town, and
satisfactory proof must be presented
to them that the necessary precaution
- bas been taken. If It has not, they
'will take It themselves. It Is esti
mated that by the end of this week
more than 1,000,000 persons will have
been yaccinated In the borough of
Manhattan alone.
These measures are not Intended to
create alarm, but to allay It and the
physicians of the health department as
sert with the utmost confidence that
the result of the present advice that
all persons, young or old, submit to
vaccination, -will be made manifest
in three or f onr weeks.

MINSTRELS TO-MORROW NIGHT.
f Program of Entertainment : Arranged
-For the I. O. O. F: Show. ;
Electrician George M. .Chapman has
made all preparations for the spectacu
lar opening which he has promised for
the minstrel show -of Arisantawae en
campment. No 20, I. O. O. F., at Poll's
theater, tomorrow -evening.-. The cur
tain will rise in darkness after the
participants of the -first part are in
their places. Suddenly, in the gloom,
the insignia of the order, the three
links, will flash into view iu a burst
of liery splendor. The display of the
house and stage"momentarily will dis
close the minstrel men, with Inter
locutor Billy Sandland in the center.
The f usilade of jokes and the roundelay
of melody will begin at once, and the
audience will be bombarded with mer
riment from the initial number until
the finale.
The singers introduced in the first
part would save any performance of
an amateur nature, for they include
Waterbury's most successful and most
prominent entertainers. The funny
men, Messrs Gillette, Davis, Hender
son and Humphrey, with Eddy Big
gerstaff as an accomplished aide,
should make the show notable for its
slap-dash of fun and jollity. There
has been a big sale of seats to-day, but
there are many desirable places still
unmarked' on. the card.

book. which were found a- few feet

do not occur there. Once the night
