Is the very first, item on tbe list of ar
ticles which had that imposition called
r:ir tax taken off it, but the l'Oe per
pound on tea still remains. "Well, that's
pretty . work for the politician; yon
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

wish to enjov good health and a long
and happy life) and taking the tax oft
a drink (beer), which is a costly luxury
and in many instances raises ructions
and causes manv a sore "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 fellows took
the tax off. the "stuff.". For pity sake
are they insane? Well, we sent the
lawmakers over to Washington and we
must abide by their decision. Remem
ber, it doesn't matter whether they
leave the tax on Tea or not: we will
look after our patrons' welfare aud

City fish market, corner of Union and
South Main streets. .-'
The Waterbury lodge of Elks will
hold an important' meeting to-night to
take action on the death of Thomas B.
Miller. The lodge will undoubtedly
turn out in a body to. attend the
funeral. . .
Court Martin Hellmann, F. of A.,
will hold a special meeting in Forest
ers' reading rooms to-night at S
o'clock for tlie purpose of talcing action
on the death of their late brother,
Thomas Miller. Every member is re
quested to be present.
A reception and dance will be ac
corded to-night to the canvassers who
worked so zealously a short while
since for the success of the fair of the
Siinonsville Athletic club. The recep
tion will be held in the rooms of the
Simousvllle Social club and is an in
vitation affair, consequently those who
attend may he assured of haviug an
enjoyable time.
Edward "Malouey, the trolley car
conductor, was hunting yesterday,
with his friend, .Tames Marctiand, and
captured a lot of game. The held of
their operations was in the vicinity of
Watertown which; to some extent, ex
plains the fulluess of their game bag.
They shot, thirteen squirrels and three
rabbits, besides a few birds, though
their fellow employes say they bought
the latter.
Everybody except one. was so busy
last evening buying Christmas gifts
that one did not have time to break
the law so that there was no city
court this morning. The exceptional
case became too exhuberant and
danced on his own hat on South Main
street. Ho was such a good fellow and
it being his first time to get Into the
clutches of the law that. Chief Egan
let him go home when he sobered up.
To-night at the Salvation army hall,
the first meeting will be held in con
nection w.Ji the visit of Staff Captain
Agnes McKenzie to Waterbury. Ad
mission will be free to all these meet
ings, and in connection with the same
a Sile of work will be neld. A variety
of articles have been given or made,
suitable for Christmas presents, aud
before and after the meeting the same
will be on sale at reasonable prices.
Coffee and cake will also be served.
The cold weather for the past week
or so has covered the different ponds
iu all parts of the city wltii a sheet of
ice capable of withstanding the weight
of a few hundred or more skaters.
John D's and the East Brass Mill
ponds have already been tested by
lovers of skating and been found in a
safe and excellent condition, the ice
being exceptionally smooth. The
Manhan rink is also in excellent con
ditio::. McClure's Magazine for January will
contain the first installment in the
Memoirs of Clara Morris, entitled
"Recollections of the Stage and Its
People." This chapter describes the
famous actress' first appearance before
a New York audience and tells vividly
of all the trials and triumphs on that
crucial occasion. Apart from its senti
mental value as the autobiographical
work of our greatest actress, the dra
matic intensity of the writing gives to
the article a literary charm worthy of
its high historic Interest.
The grabbing prowlers who have
been working in Waterbury for some
time past, took it into their heads to
give the houses a rest and turn their
attention towards the dance hall,
thinking, no doubt, they would fare
better in the search for wearing ma
terial. So on, one night this week
they called at a hall in the center and
succeeded in carrying away several
pairs of ladies' gloves, as well as a
number of hat pins. They may have
carried away more valuable goods, but
we have not hard of it. The gang
seem to like this city for they are
making -quite a stay.
At a meeting of the town school
board last night it was voted that the
committeemen of the Town Plot and
Mill Piain districts be authorized to ap-.
point one additional teacher in their
districts. The -appointment of a
teacher in the Park Road district was
confirmed. It was decided to let the
matter of change of text books stand
until next year and devote the money
that would bai. to be spent la this
way to. furnishing additional teachers.
The Oronoke school district recom
mended the appointment of Frank G.
Schinitz as tax collector, to succeed J.
Ji Lyons, resigned, but it was decided
to defer action on the matter until it
has been determined what shall be
done in reference to taxes. At the
last annual meeting the district voted
to lay a five mill tax, but the district
has been divided since which will ne
cessitate some understanding regard
ing tne collection ana disposal of taxes.
Charles Barnes, the livery keeper.
told a story last evening of an encount
er with .a black snake. Mr Barnes
was fishing on Chestnut Hill reservoir
when a hugh black monster poked its
head up -In front of his boat in a
menacing attiture. v Mr Barnes and
his- fellow fishermen saw at once that
the . monster was only an unusually
large.- black snake., but nevertheless
they determined to dispatch it and
rowed toward it tvith that intention
Tlie snake, seeing them approach, dis
appeared and was hot-seen again until
the., fishermen were tying up their ap
paratus This' time it undertook to
cross the road that divides the reser
voir' and then; a battle, took place
With stones and fishing rods the snake
was assailed, better weapons lacking.
The. -odds of a. longer lifetime were in
favor of the snake until one of the
fishermen threw his bait net around
ltjand'the rest 'was easy. The fight
lasted'Qfteen minutes.

A new feature iu the way'of surprise
parties took place at the home.of Miss
Kitty Bergin of Bergin street last even
ing. Miss Bergin was industriously
engaged on that most perplexing ques
tion, what would she give her friends
as Christmas gifts, when a number of
them entered dressed in all manner of
costumes, and the rest of the evening
was devoted to dancing and . amuse
ment The selectmen would like to find
the relatives of one William Chesnar,
who is now in Middletown asylum.
Chesnar is sinking rapidly,' so the
selectmen have been notified, and will
not live many more days. It will be
remembered that Chesnar was the
man who three or four years ago was
found late one night on- the top of the
horse at the Carry Welton fountain.
He was arrested and on examination
was found to be insane.
Mrs Candace C. Biackman of West
Side hill has entered suit against - the
town of Plymouth and its selectmen.
Messrs Burke and Goodman, for $5W
damages. Mrs Biackman owns a road
roller and last summer she rented'-it
to C. L. Tryon & Son of Meridcn, -who
wore build ng a state road in Plymouth.
The selectmen guaranteed payment for
the use of the road roller, and the con
tractor having become a bankrupt is
therefore unable to pay. Hence the
suit against the town and its select
men. William J. Schlegel has sold - his
farm of 100 acres i'n the town of Wa
tertown, shout live miles from Water
bury. to Phoebe Ouirnet. Mr Schlegel
has sold for F. J. Kingsbury his store
and tenement property, No 12S North

gel has also sold for the Swedish Evan
gelical Lutheran Zion church their
double house and the land In the rear
of the church property to C. H. Cables,
