HOME LABOR ON OUR STREETS.

The Inspector Prohibited From HIr-
 ing Out of Town Help-In Fact The
 Road Board VIII do all The Hiring
 Hereafter-Other Business Regard
 Ing Our Streets.
 The monthly meeting of the road and sewer boards held last evening was an unusually long one, lasting over three hours and transacting considerable busi- ness of importance. The pay roll of the street department amounted to S15, ,209 and with the monthly bills was approved. The matter of new street from the Watertown road near the Israel Holmes property was tabled. The board voted to grade James street to the first angle, some 45O feet, and to lay a sidewalk on the south side for the same distance, at a cost of S15O. It was also voted to lay out Bergin street east from Ridge street, but 1t is not to be done until the city has funds. It was also voted to lay side walks upon both sides of Welton street, the estimated cost to be $35O. The pe- tition of Samuel P. Williams for the lay out of North street from North Main parallel with Hill street for 800 feet was granted.
 The following crosswalks were or dered : On Grove street in line with the west side of Holmes avenue; on East
 
 School street; on the south side of East Main street at the junction of Dublin street, and at the junction of East Main and William streets.
 The Vine street matter was taken from the table and upon motion ofCom- missioner Fitzpatrick it was voted that | the layout of the street be made, provi- ded the city attorney favored it. Commissioners Chipman and Fitz- patrick were appointed to inspect the sidewalks of the city and make such re. concentrations to the board as they see fit. They will also deal with the matter of Instructions of the walks by trees as we'll as the obstruction of the electric lights by trees.
 The matter of widening Brook street was brought up by Mayor Boughton He said that public necessity demanded that the street be opened as all the legal requirements had been carried out. The mayor also said he would personally see l that the order was carried out. The board instructed the city clerk to request the street inspector to comply with the order of the board.
 The mayor suggested that this board recommend the paving of Bank street from the Naugatuck station to the north end of the iron bridge. Mir Chipman heartily endorsed the remarks made by the mayor and said Meadow street also demanded attention,
 It was voted to rescind all votes en- poWerlng, the street inspector to hire teams or labor. MT Fitzpatrick moved that the street inspector be also prohi5i- ted from hiring labor residing out of the city. The board passed the resolution and also voted that all labor on the street department be engaged by this board. The mayor and Commissioner Fitzpatrick were appointed to see that the last three votes be compiled with.
 The sewer board gave hearing to the property owners on Chatfield avenue on the matter of sewer assessments,

A CLERICAL ANECDOTE.
How New England Clergyman Criticize
 Religious Discourse.

The Listener of the Boston Transoripe has occasionally told story from the old town of Wrentham, place which, owlng to the absence of railroads and large manu- featuring, has preserved it's old New En- gland character and flavor much longer than the majority of towns in Massachu- setts. It is like MT. Howells' otd Hasboro' {; let all it's friends devoutly hope that the new railroad that it is to have will not change it into the new Hatboro'. The Listener is not, however, going off into a dlsqulsition about old-fashioned and new fashioned New England towns; he IS sim ply about to tell an insignificant but char acteristlc anecdote coming from old Wrent- ham There lived there years ago nota~ ble old physician, pr. B- by name, who was tall and commanding in stature, with a pair of lungs that could make his speech distinctly heard a good way without any ef- fort. He was staunch Universaiist in a "blue Y" orthodox parish, and rarely attend ed church. When he did the whole congre- gation was on the qui vive, with it's attend ant rustic, as he marched down the broad aisle to the pew he always rented for his family. On special occasion classmate o1 ms, Dr. P7, clergyman who was we'll known in Wrentham, having fitted for college there at Old Days Academy, and with whom the doctor had many 8 theologi- cal spar, was 10 preach. It was one of those gala Sundays in the country when the meetin'-house is packed, and all were delighted to see the doctor one of the most attentive listeners in that perspiring audience; 1t was in mid-June After the services the people fingered long in the vestbule and on the steps to talk about the seasons promise for crops, etc. No potato bugs in those good old days, and no specu- lation about the railroad! The people, too, wanted to see the two big doctors meet and shake hands. Soon they stood face to face D. ID. and M. D.-both towering head and shoulders above the upturned faces around them. After the How do you do, doctor?" and the other "How do you do, doctora. and the exchange of the proper formalities, Dr. P- said:
 "How did you like my sermona"
 "I was highly entertained-highly enter. tained," said Dr. B.. "A most elaborate discourse upon an acute subject, well written and well delivered; but very in- judicious."
 "Injudicious" exclaimed the doctor of mean, doctor9"
 "Oh, only this, my dear friend" said B. |; "you have come to a country village, and expounded and exposed The Secret Win ot God to mixed audience for over an hour: and othere isn't an old gossip that has heard you but will blab it all over town be- lore the week Is out. And don't think you'll be thanked for letting it out, doctor l really don't''

ADJUSTMENTS.
Very Valuable Gift.

In May, 1SS6, Manager Joseph Fl. Mack purchased from the Mccullough estate. for 5000, Dr Birds sublime tragedy "The Gladiator" He expended several thousand dollars more in producing the drama, in which he starred as Spartacus the handsome, robust, young tragedian Robert Downing. The play was pro duced on scale of magnifcence that
 has seldom been equalled in this country
 Tn the legitimate. Downing and the pro- ductlon were hit from the start, The success of both was indeed phenomenal and in one season Mir Mack realized a
 handsome profit after getting back his original investment. During Mir Down lng's recent highly successful engage ment in Philadelphia, the Guarantee
 Trust company of that city, who are ex- ecutors for the Mccullough estate, made to Messrs Mack and Downing a very
 valuable present in appreciation of the formers splendid production of the play and the latter's acting of Spartacus,
 which, it will be remembered, was the last character in which Mccullough ap-
 peared. The present was a transfer of the right, titles and manuscript used by Mccullough of King Lear, Metamora, Othello. Tecumseh, Richelieu and Julius
 Caesar, together with the music belong ing to each play. It is certainly a very
 valuable gift and highly prized by both
 gentlemen.
 Dowmngs coming engagement at Jacques opera house Monday night will
 be the tragic event of the year.
 s'Sweet Lavender.,,
 Sweet Lavender the breezy Lyce-
 um theater success which will be pre- sented at Jacques opera house this eve
 hing, IS one of those winsome pieces of
 comedy that appeal to the nature of an
 audience with power that is all it's | own. It is somewhat after the style of | the famous ''HaZel Kirke," and like that pretty play furnishes gleams of pathos and power mixed with bright flashes of
 wit and merriment. The stage settings
 are said to be unusually good and the company strong, and those who miss Sweet Lavender" are likely to miss one of the treats of the season.
 ''Shaun Rhue.''
 Joseph Murphy showed all his old time skill last evening in the presentation of his familiar version of the "Shaun Rhue." He deftly blended pathos with
 humor, moving his audience alternately
 to tears and laughter. He had several good actors ill his support, notably MI Maurice Heppard as Lawyer Waddy' | and MT Maurice Drew as Bryan Caili- gan Miss Ella Baker made a good ''Tim,' but the rest of tho cast were of | the most ordinary kind, Mir Harry Rich
 ards as ''Gerald Cavanagh" being hard ly on speaking terms with his lines.

An Absent-NIinded Man.

Cincinnati has the champion absent-mind ed man. A gentleman living in the suburbs went in store on Walnut street to make a few purchases. The only light in the store was candle standing on the counter near the money-drawer. After making his pur- chases he handed the proprietor a bill, and after returning him the change the propri- etor walked to the rear of the store to ar range something g,when suddenly he was left in the dark. He started toward the counter, and groping around it found, not the candle, but the change. It struck him then that probably the man in a fit of absent-minded- ness, had taken the candle instead of his change. He started out after him, and catching up with him saw that he had the bundle in one hand and the candle in the other. After apologizing for the mistake the stranger took his change and gave back the candle

New Britain's Jim the penma,r.

The latest feat of c. E. Woodruff, the New Britain forger, which has come to light, was discov yesterday. It seems when he bought the lot on the corner of Camp and Grand streets he allowed S4, TOO to remain on mortgage. When he had about finished the houses built on the corner it was necessary before mortgage could be had to get a release on this land. A quit-claim deed was presented signed by Mrs Martin and the Pennington Savings bank made the loan. The signature was a forgery and the bank has lost it's money. There are said to be other forgeries on releases of mechanics liens which have not yet come to light.

Animals Injured by Railroads.

An Eastern journal states that it has been customary whenever an animal was fatally maimed to leave the creature where 1t fell until it should be killed by section hands, under the impression that if any person but railroad empfoye killed the animal, 1t would remove the liability of the road. It is not an unusual sight to see a poor cow slowly gasping out it's life because the owner labors under this impression.
 The idea is mistaken one, however, for the owner can at once remove the animal and kill tt without in any manner lessening the chances of getting pay for his property.

Pulling the wool over your eyes is, to speak plainly, cheating. Our competi- tors resort to that when they ask $375 for a piano, the superior in every way being in our store for $325. We will prove the truth of this assertion to the complete satisfaction of customers who will take the trouble to examine our new No 6 Shoninger piano just received.

The Fruit of Observation.

Calico, when under twenty years of age, was standing one day in the Metropolitan Church of Pisa, when he observed a lamp which was suspended from the ceiling, and which had been disturbed by accident, swinging backward and forward. This was thing so common that thousands, no doubt, had observed it before; but Calico, struck by the regularity with which it moved backward and forward, reflected on it, and perfected the method now in use of measuring time by means of pendulum.
