AS YOU LIKE IT.
Some Stray Leaves From a Reporter's
Note BooK.
'You would be surprised to know the
number of people who carry their
money In their mouths," said la clerk in
one of the large dry goods houses -the
otherday.. "And the persons who
make a habit of using their mouths
for purses are not always the poor and
the ignorant and foreigners," he con
tinued, "but many of them are well
dressed and apparently respectable.
Nothing is so disguslng as to have a
woman put her hand in her rnouith
and take out several pieces of coin
and then drop them, wet and sticky
and germ-bearing, into your hand. I
fall to understand how persons can be
so far lacking in breeding or good
taste or respect for others as to take
germ-bearing money from their
mouths and offer it to you. One day
a woman tried to do It on me. She
received the goods and then she took
the money from her mouth and start
ed to place it ln my band. I made
her drop it on the counter, then I got
a piece of cloth, picked, up each coin
separately, land wiped it carefully. All
the time the woman stood there watch
ing. It is unnecessary to say that
the woman never offered me any more
money from her mouth."
' -
The proposition brought' forward nt
the convention of Episcopalians at
Los Angeles ' to drop the name Prot
estant Episcopal church and start off
by calling the institution the Ameri
can' Catholic church has occasioned
some comment in this part of the
country, although very little has been
;said on the subject ln the papers. "It
is coming," said a Waterbury Episco-
noliiin "hn wo' 11 hgv tn wn it n fpw
years longer, and perhaps by that
time one name will do for all Catho
lics. We have been moving Jn that
direction for over a quarter of a cen
tury, but the ancient body never
changes a peg and if we are to have
a reunion I suppose we shall te
obliged to tramp back to the spot we
started from. I don't see why we
should kneel at different altars, vve
are all aiming at the same end and I
don't think there is enough difference
In our plans at this .time to keep us
apart much longer. But it requires a
great deal of educational worjc to get
the masses to move with the more in-,
tellectual elements and besides other
than spiritual interests are involved
and if the , union comes, and I have
been expecting it for many years,
state and probably national legislation
will be needed to heal up matters re
garding public records." If all Epis
copalians view the matter in , this
light the day is not far distant when
Roman Catholics and Episcopalians
will be enjoying a love feast, and If
the Catholics stick to their post, some
thing which they are very likely to do,
they will notVbave to make any con
cessions to bring about this jollifica
tion meeting. AH they will have to
do is simply hold out the olive branch
and inform their good neighbors that
they are still doing business at the old
stand and that the prodigals are wel
come back tot the Master's household.

The Master Builders' association
was verv Darticular to keeD the ODin-
lons expressed at the meeting Tuesday
night from the public, and while it
succeeded to a certain extent enough
leaked out to convey a pretty good
Idea of what was said. More than one
contractor admitted that there would
be no need of unions were it not for
the meanness of some employers ' of
labor and expressed the hope that
after the association had declared
opeu shops nothing would be done by
any member of the Master Builie.s'
association which wou'd leave th-s or
ganization open to a charge of wishing
to seo a return to the conditions we
1 . t xi ' f , rri i
uau uvicre me uu.ons. xue men who
called attention to this phase of The
subject knew what they were talking
about. Until very recently the under
strappers, not the emloyersv were the
most tyrannical fellows in the world
and often turned hands out without ,a
moment's notice to satisfy some whim
or petty spite that probably had no
connections whatever with the work
shop. It was ill treatment on the part
of unprincipalled foremen and not
email Txro flfAQ ilia f risvm'rtAs4 a rrr1-tfxls
lot of Waterbury people to go into un
ions. Some of the hands we're actual
ly robbed by being pushed from pillar
to post, while favored ones got the
best of everything. If the bosses
wife or thirty-first cousin came along
he or she, as the case hapened to be,
had to be provided with a job and a
good one at that and as a result some
body's head had to go into the basket.
The aggrieved ones had no redress
because the officials were too busy at
the offices to bother with such things.
With such tactics as these carried on
to some extent in all the factories, was
It any wonder that the working people
fell easy victims to the agents of so
cieties that assured them iif they got
together they would be heard at the
office and the understrapper would be
muzzled.

TRIFLING WITH COURT
Judge Cowell Intimates That Boston
Parties Are Trying To.
The sequel to the row which oc
curred between Attorneys Cole .. and
Bronson in the district court a few
days ago took place this morning at
short calendar in the same, court over
the assignment of the cause of con
tention, the case of John Moriarty
against, the Glasgow Woolen Mills Go.
When Judge Cowell asked if the case
was ready for trial Mr Bronson .stood
up and, opening a telegram, skid he
had just received it from Boston, in
iforming him that the ( deposition, the
absence of which Is the obstacle in the
way to hearing the case, cannot be
signed by the deponent because of ill
ness. Thig excuse seemed to Irritate
Judge Cowell. He said, however, that
Mr Bronson had done his duty by his
client at all events.
"But the man who made the deposi
tion is not my client, your honor,"
said Mr Bronson. "He is only a wit
ness." ; -
Attorney Cole said he ws willing
to have the case go over If Mr Bron
son would pay $25 costs. The question
of costs always tickles a lawyer and
this time the word caused considerable
mirth. t ,
Judge' Cowell "I think we had bet
ter 'assign the case anyway. If they do
business that way in Boston they
must bear with the consequences."
Mr Bronson objected to the case, be
ing assigned.
Attorney Cole "When Mr Bronson
had his crazy fit on the. other day he
said he had a letter from this person
in Boston. There was something im
plied In it Now they are playing
fast and loose with this court. Why
don't they come on with their deposi
tion? Why is it not here? Now, my
client is very much irritated over this
delay. I must say now that I never
took an unfair advantage in .court,
whatever I may have done - out of
court. This man's goods are In our
store eating their heads off.' - ,
Attorney Bronson replied that the
deposition was taken Tuesday or Wed
nesday and he did not know till now
why it was not sent on. He saw.no
reason for adding additional costs,
however. , '
Judge Cowell replied that it looked
as if the Boston people were trying, to
fool Mr Bronson. The idea of 'a man
making a deposition being too sick to
sign it did not go with him. It was
too ridiculous for anything.
Mr Bronson did not like the re
marks of the court, that anyone was
trying to fool him, and Judge Cowell
replied that he meant the lawyers or
whoever it was that took the deposi
tion, and added that he should have to
confess he did not know what to do
with the case. "I may be suspicious,"
he said, 'but it seems to me they
think this is a country court and are
trifling with It."
Attorney Thorns cut off the discus
sion by a motion that the court pro
ceed with the business of short Calen
dar, and Attorney Cole jumped up
with 'the question if the case was as
signed for Monday.
Mr Bronson said he did not know
why his' brother Cole should take ad
vantage of him like .that. The dis
cussion was in la good way to be re
newed when ' Attorney O'Neill cut it
off again "and caused everybody to
laugh by moving that the court ap
point a committee to offer prayer for
Attorneys Cole and Bronson.
The case was finally set down for
hearing next Friday. ,
At short calendar in the district
court to-day Judge Cowell announced
judgment for $450 damages for John
D. Botelle against the borough of
Bristol and for the latter to recover
its costs. , Botelle sprained bis right
ankle by falling lno a hole in Bristol's
main street one evening last winter.
The demurrer to the counter claim
ln the suit of the Expanded Metal Co
against Lewis A. Piatt w1as overruled.
The court decided that John B. Mai
lings was not a party to the suit, but
was merely agent for the defendant.
The case of Catherine Harty against
the city was set down for Monday and
the city against Rafter for a week
from Monday; Gould vs the city Tues
day, and the ease of the Watertownj
Savings bank against B. H. Mattoon
will be assigned next Saturday.
Judgment for foreclosure was grant
ed the Co-operative Savings society
against George G. Baker for 51,516.12.
The property involved is situated in
Oakville and in granting judgment the
court remarked that anyone who
owned property In that place deserved
to lose it . ,
Most of the -business on short Cal
endar was put over to next week. ,

An unusual sight in Hartford G. A.
R. day was that of a confederate flag
flyingfrom a window on Garden
street The Incident was so rare that
very few who saw the flag recognlzeu
It as the stars and bars of the confed
eracy. Those who did are certain that
the flag wa8 not unfurled in a spirit of
defiance to the veterans who Thursday
celebrated the reunion of the survivors
of the conflict of two score years ago,
but as a spontaneous tribute to the
memory of the,, boys who wore the
gray, that they were remembered even
In the hour when their conquerors were
celebrating the, victory of battles fought
and won. .
A sad sequel to the Grand Army pa
rade in- Hartford was the . finding of

The body was discovered by the en
gineer of a north-bound train. The
head was nearly severed from the body
and It Is believed that Kelley, who was
in the parade in Hartford Thursday,
fell from the train when returning and
was run over. The North Haven med
ical examiner was sent f6r and the
body was afterwards taken to fhe
rooms of a New Haven undertaker.
Kelley was 76 years of age and during
the civil war was a member of Com
pany A, Thirteenth regiment, O. V.
He had for some years been an in
mate of the Soldiers' home at Noroton.
He leaves a daughter, Mrs Mary Hoff
