TWO IMPORTANT SEWERS.
The Intercepting and Riverside Street
Sewers to be Built this Spring.

The Intercepttng and Riverside street
Sewers to be Built this Spring.
With the opening of Spring the work ON
the sewers will be commenced again, and
as rapidly as the petitions are presented
the public will be provided with facilities
for house drainage. The most important
piece of sewer work that will be done this
to that is the Riverside street sewer. The
intercepting sewer is designed to
take all the sewage from the Abrigador
district and to avoid sewering into Mad
river. It will begin at Dublin street
where it crosses Mad river, follows down
the east bank of the river through the
property of the Phalens and the Scovill
manufacturing company into River street,
along River street to Washington street,
to South Main, to Burnham, under Mad
river into the Naugatuck, where it will
empty about 100 feet below the Burnham
street bridge into the channel of the river.
In size it VARIES Is and 20 inch tile pipe
20 inch iron pipe, and SO and As inch brick
sewer being used in its construction. Then
| there are special appertenances in the
shape of manholes, terminal cham
bers and d deep well for passing
from low level sewer to high
level sewer. This is the first we'll con-
structed in Waterburys sewer system. 1t is
located at the corner of Washington and
River streets, where the low level sewer is
90 feet below the service and the high level
sewer 10 feet below the surface The sewer
will be constructed of brick in Burnham,
South Main and Washington streets, from
Mad river to Silver street. Those portions
of the sewer in the Naugatuck and Mad
| rivers will be constructed of iron pipe land
the remainder will be of vitriGed clay pipe
The specifications and plans for this work
are nearly completed and the contract with
that for Riverside street will probably be
awarded early in the spring.
! The sewer in Riverside street is for the
purpose of taking the sewage that now
flows in to the Naugatuck river at Bank
street from the Brooklyn district down to
the Burnham street bridge and send it into
the Naugatuck there. It will be of brick
and tile pipe.

BACK FROM THE SOUTH,

Impressions of the South one of the
New England Excursionists.
E. T. Root of this city, who was among
the party of New England business men
who went on a trip through the South, re-
turned this morning Judge Cowell, who
was one of the party, joined his wife in
Washington and is expected home this
evening. H. H. Peck stopped over in New
York and will return home later. Mr.
Root was greeted warmly by his acquaint-
ances and piled with innumerable ques-
tions about the South. He was pleased
with the country and is of the opinion that
man with few Thousand dollars could
go there and make money The hotels are
excellent. There is one at Talapoosa that
cost S150,000 and another at Anderson
that cost $75, 900. In some of the larger
places the hotels are more expensive.
Houses can be built at cost of few hun
dred dollars and rent for IS per month
The party only went as far south as At
lanta, and were treated like millionaires
all along the route. Mr. Root says there is
some tall lying down there and that the
southern people are solicitous to have
northern capital and southern enterprise
and energy locate among them.

BEATEN BY THE REFEREE.

Kelly Adds Glory to His Record as an
Incompetent Man.
The Waterburys were defeated by the
Bridgeports in hard fought battle. Wat
erbury held the lead till the last, when the
Bridgeports pulled together and won the
game by getting three straight goals. Will
liams took every rush for Waterbury, and
once drove the ball into the cage at the
first stroke, but it rolled out again. Wat
erbury lost another goal in the same way.
John Smith played a great game at goal
and over the top of the goal, several times
stopping the ball with his feet when it was
three or four feet over the cage. Conroy
and Shea played their usual strong game;
Rabbit also played well. John Smith had
foul in the goal, which, if Kelly had al
lowed, would have given Waterbury the
game, and although he stopped the play
would not call the foul. "Mull' Smith
made disgusting exhibition of himself in
the last half of the game. There were about
two minutes left Of playing time, but he
said he was tired, and he went and sat
down, and delayed the game nearly five
minutes, thus giving the Bridgeports a rest
in order that they might win the game
Kelly as referee is not positive success
The score:

NINE Modjeska's Performance Last Night

Mime MOdjeska's Performance Last Night
Other Attractions This Week.
Mime Modjeska, seen in tragedy or com
edy, plays with the same artistic merit.
She is never Modjeska, but always and all
times the personation of the character she
ESSAYS. Her performance of Rosalll q in
comedy, ''As You Like 1t, }"
at the Opera House last night was an un
qualified success. She was greeted by a
good-sized audience, and was three times
called before the curtain. Eten Plymp-
tons Orlando was excellent and the rest of
the support was good.

thus spoken of by the Philadelphia Her

is one of the best comediesfof everyday
life, and, as presented at the National last
night by Mr. Charles Stedman and a very
capable company, it is very enjoyable and
entertaining. All Philadelr hans know the
plot aud good features of this very excel
lent play, and the great merit about it is,
that witnessing it can bear lots of repeti-
ton. Last night the performance pro
ceeded from beginning to end without 8
hitch, and was loudly applauded by a very
large audience"

THE LENrEN SEASON.

1t Opens Unusually Early-Easter Sunday
Comes All FOOLS Day.
The Lenten season, which is observed in
the Catholic and Protestant Episcopal
churches, begins earlier than usual this
year. What is called shrovetide. literally
meaning "confession-time,'' close with
Shrove Tuesday, which is to-day. 1t is a
season extending from Septuagesi1na Sun
day, January 80, to Ash Wednesday, and
in the ancient days ef the Catholic Church
it was a preparatory season to Lent. lent
begins to -morrow, Ash Wednesday, which
is earlier than since 1880, when it began
February II. Not until 1891 will it begin
as early In that year it comes on Feb
ruary IL, the same as i'll 1880. In 1898
and 1899 it again comes on February Is,
and in 1902 on February r. Easter Sun

dence that will probably not occur again
for years. -,

THE SEASONS ICE CROP.

A Plentiful Supply for Waterbury Peo-
pie Next Summer.
The ice men made the best of the cold
season and when the thaw set in the ice
houses were nearly full. The work was
completed last week. The Hall & Epson
Ice Company have their ice houses full at
the East Brass mill and at the Manhan, be-
sides having filled Hellman Il Kipp's ice
house from their ponds. The ice varies
from 10 to 10 inches in thickness, and that
harvested in the early part of the season is
of the best quality, but the crop, this year
is superior to that of last The cutting be-
gan before the snow fell and it was scraped
off, and there is comparatively little of it
in this seasons crop. The supply is no
larger than last year, and there will prob
ably be no difference in the price.

THE MOTHERS LOST HOUR.

There is lost hour among home keep
ing women, an hour which is lost in the
way certain arts are-so lost, indeed, that
there seems to be very little likelihood
that it will ever be found. This is the
"hour to herself" for which every moth
er of family longs, and too often, longs
in vain. She used to know what it was to
have little time entirely her own, now
and then, in the days of her girlhood; but
a matron's duties have absorbed her life
completely, and she never knows what it
is to be secure from interruption, even for
80 short time as is required for the writ
ing of a letter. Very often this is her own
fault, for fault it is in spite of the angelic
qualities which 60 to make many women
hack-horses of patience and long suffering
in their own homes.
It is true that the young wife and moth
er is more often self-sacrifcing than other
wise. She sinks her own individuality
altogether too much in the service of
her family. It is the easiest thing to do,
to reverse nothing in the way of devotion,
but it is not the Wisest way. 1t develops
selfishness instead of thoughtfulness in
the beloved ones whom she serves, and it
too often happens that the wife and mother
who denies herself constantly in waiting
tion for herself wakens later in life to
find she has made mistake. Out of the
fullness of heart she has given more than
she ought, for the sake of her family as
we'll as herself. The daughter whose COM
fort has always been consulted before that
of her mother, the son whose hours of
study or play must never be interrupted for
his mothers sake, the husband who knows
that his wife is saint for usefulness, i'm
pose, unconsciously, upon her goodness;

! TRIIE MAN.

II am my own MASTER" says the young
man. Well, be your own master, and sit
down and have an earnest and plain talk
with yourself. Ask yourself who yor are,
what you have been doing, what you are,
what you are doing now, and what you
propose or expect to do hereafter. Ask
yourself what you have done to make the
world wiser, or better, or happier? Try
to ascertain whether you have done the
world good or done it harm, see if you
have been of any real service to mankind,
and how. What are you worth to the
world in which you live?, What great en-
terprise for the promotion,ef human inter
est would suffer by your death How
many would miss you, or care whether
you lived or died ? You are one of four
teen hundred millions of human beings on
earth. How much and what sort of in
fluence have you exercised on others? or
have you or do you exercise influence
worth notice at all? You are your own
master. Does the master try to be man,
or is he content to be mere cipher or
in society? Has he sufficient self-respect
to keep himself above all that is coarse,
low, vulgar and bad? Does he always
speak the truth-never use obscene or pro-
fame language-never do mean thing
Is he always regardful of age, respectful to
equals, and kind to interiors? Does he la
Dor earnestly to improve his mind, his
morals and his manners; or, is he careless,
idle and Indifferent to such things? Does
he spend much time in the company of
idlers-in smoking, drinking and foolish
talking? If so, tell him-that master OF
yours-he is on the wrong track, and if he
does not switch himself off there is surely
a crash ahead, and no one to save the pieces,
and when it comes the verdictof the peo-
