WATERBURY EVENING DEMOCRAT, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1900.
4:
Ig the very first item on the list of ar
ticles which had that imposition called
war tax taken off it, but the 30.? per
pound on tea still remains. Well, that's
pretty work for the politicians: you
can readily see what kind of men have
been sent to "Washington. Just reflect
on this matter. Keeping a duty of 10
cents per pound on tea. 'an article
which is a necessity i providing you
wish to enjoy good health and a long
and happy life) and taking the tax off
a drink l been, which is a costly luxury
aDd in many instances raises ructions
and causes many a son? "head and black
eye. and sometimes is the direct cause
of spending a thirty or sixty days va
cation in jail or town house. Say. the
politicians who made the above blun
der virtually passed a law the other
day whereby the soldiers are deprived
of their beer, yet the same teuows took,
tbe tax off the "stuff." l-'or pity sake
at they insane V Well, we sent the
lawmakers over to Washington and we
must abide by their decision. Remem
ber, it doesn't matter whether the.v
have the tax on Tea or not: we will
look after our patrons' welfare and
see they -ret the good quality every
time. We guarantee our Tea and Cof
fee to be the top notch quality, anil
we sell at the bottom notch price, If
you doubt us just give up a trial, then
judge for yourself whether we tell the
truth or not at

street, died last night. The funeral

ment in St Joseph's cemetery.
Loose lumber and shavings in the
cellar of James W. Hodson's proposed
billiard parlor took lire this .forenoon
and in a second the whole place was in
a blaze. A still alarm was sent to the
Leavenworth street engine house and
though the chemical engine company
responded in a few moments, the lire
was extinguished before they reached
tiie City hall.. No damage was done.
Thomas O'Ronrke, brother of James
J. O'Rourkc, the coachman, is sick in
the Marine hospital in I'residio. Cal.
O'Rourkp is in the Marin,, corps and
served through the Spanish war in
Cuba and tlx. Philippines. He was
with the army in the Chinese turmoil
and would have been there yet had
his health remained sound. He had
to be sent home, he being completely
broken down.
The Children of Mary or the Im
maculate Conception parish has given
io tne :t lucent de Paul society.
A kindly act. and one which is hiirhiy
appreciated by the society.-which lias
numerous worthy cases of destitute
families to attend to at this season of
the year. The society has rooms in
the St Patrick's block and will be glad
to receive any donations in the way of
clothing, food or money.
Fishing at Forest park promises to
be excellent this winter, for evidence
to that effect is already apparent.
Fishing is now possible only through
tiie ice. P.ig catches have already been
reported. William Cotter landed twenty-six
perch yesterday and thirtv-seven
the day before. There will lie iio lisli
iug this year and perhaps for many
years to come on the Fast Mountain
reservoir after llie cleaning out given
it a month ago. Hardly a tisli was left
in the pond.
Thomas Do ran. who went south for
the benelit of his health a week ago.
lias wrlteti home to the effect that on
his way to his destination lie passed
through Washington and had the good
luck to witness congress in session,
lie called upon Congressman Sperm
atid through him was shown many of
tiie sights of the national capital that
he otherwise would not see. Already
lie has felt the benefits of a change of
scene and is confident that he "will
return home soon in vigorous health.
Dennis J. Donnelly, who paid Slid
in the district court a few days ago
for two violations of the liquor laws,
has escaped prosecution on his bond
by a very close call. Prosecuting
Agent Pierce staled to-day' that lie
would undoubtedly have sited Donnel
ly's bond were there llie slightest
ground on which he could do it. Don
nelly, he said, was teclinieall v guilt v
of two violations of the law: at least,
he was so found in the city court, but
on each case lie took an appeal: and
to hasten matters in the district court
the other day Prosecutor Branson in
his hurry made the mistake that saved
Donnelly's lfsicon by putting the two
cases in one complaint, so that legally
Iionnellyhas now but one actual con
viction recorded against him. and on
that his bond cannot be sued. Great
is the law, surely. Mr Pierce is out
a soft $10.
Judge Bradstreet held citv court to
day. There were only two prisoners
in the dock ami they were Bernard
Senuttt and Isabella Lambert, charged
with disorderly conduct. They were
arrested upon complaint of Patrick
Mooney of Dublin street bv Officer
Moore. Mooney fold the officer that
a gang had taken possession of his
dioine and were trying to burn it up.
When the officer arrived at the house
he found it wrapped in darkness and
ascending to the upper floor, found tiie
accused in one of the rooms. Sennett
had nothing to say for himself, but
the woman stated that she was em
ployed in Walter Scoffs hotel in
Cheshire and came to town to see a
few friends. She stayed one night at
Charles Roper's house on Dublin
street and would have gone home yes
terday but was delayed. Site was di
rected to Mooney's house as a place
where she could remain for the night.
Prosecutor Durant recommended Sen
nett to the clemency of the court. A
line of $5 and costs was imposed on
each.
