ROBERT FRUIN's APPOINTMENT.

SeIecrman PInney wnn Not Recognize
 Him as superintendent of Roads.
 The board of selectmen were to have met last evening at 8 o'clock, but the meeting was adjourned until this after noon at o'clock.
 Robert Fruin, who was appointed superintendent and surveyor of roads and bridges at the town meeting held Monday evening visited the selectmen's office this morning, but First Selectman Pinney refused to recognize him in the capacity of superintendent. MT Fruin notified the selectman that he would re- port every morning and draw salary for the same. Mir Pinney is evidently acting under legal advice.
 At the meeting this afternoon Messrs Brown and Carmody will elect Mir Fruin to the position designated at the town meeting, but the length of time for holding the office will toe limited to year, dating from October 1, $50 to October l, 1891, at a salary of $1,OOO. The appointment will be made under I7section 2,665 of the general statutes of the state which reads:
 ''Towns at their annual meetings may provide for the repair of their highways for periods not exceeding five years, and if any town neglects to so provide at such meeting the selectmen may provide for such repairs for a period not exceed ing one year."
 The democratic ma ajority of the board will make this appointment this after noon, because of the doubt there already exists as to the legality of the appoint ment by the town meeting,

THE NEW SMOKE STACKS.
Consolidated Road Engines Are \

Consolidated Road Engines Are No
 Longer a Work of Art.
 Master Mechanic Henney is changing the smoke stacks of the locomotives on the Consolidated road as fast as they are brought to the shop for repairs. There are now twenty-five of these smoke stacks in use. Tho outer shell and heavy casting at the top is dis pensed with, and plain iron pipe covered with Russia iron Is substituted. The old stacks were so heavy that they had to be handled with a crane. The new stacks are much lighter and can be handled by two men.
 It is claimed that the big disk like casting on the top of the old stacks caused an air vacuum which in 9 measure arrested the draft. The new pipe is straight at the top and has no rim. thus increasing the draft for the fire and enabling the engines to steam better. All of the 200 or more engines on the road will be given the new stack.
 The engines that were made in the shops of the Consolidated road up to five years ago, were much different from those now made. The old ma chimes were resplendent in large amount of brass ornamentation and flaming red smoke stacks, while on en- zine and tender landscapes or other de- signs were painted. The plan now is to dispense with the brass work wherever iron or steel can be utilized, and the paintings and flaming red stacks have been abolished,

MANNING CHILDREN.
Sach Them to Use Their Minds as We'll as
 Their Eyes.

Sach Them to Use Their Minds as We'll as
 Their Eyes.
 It is reported that distinguished New York lawyer in selecting a gov erness for his children said to her: '1 do not care so much what studies you select for my children, but one thing I shall insist upon, and that is that you take special pains to cultivate their per ceptive faculties. I want them to be- come observers, so that they can intelli- gently describe what they see." This instruction has been highly commended by some of the newspapers as containing sound educational advice, but it shows that the lawyer was not an educator. It Is true that observation is the founda- ton of all knowledge, but 1t Is nothing more than the foundation. It is not the superstructure Observers are not al- ways fine scholars, nor correct thinkers. Observation furnishes facts, but they must be used we'll or they are worthless, It is just as important that children should be taught to think as it is that they should learn to observe. Mere ob- servation makes them Paul Prys, but no sages or philosophers. Teach children to use their eyes and their minds both, if you would educate them wisely and we'll. There is a period in life when observation is the main thing, but that period is not the most impor- i Cant in the life of an individual We think the New York lawyer made an- other grave mistake in the education of his children, and that was in putting them under the care of private tutor instead of sending them to school where they would come in contact with their equals, who would do more for them than their teachers Emerson says, you send your boy to college to be, instrus sted by learned professors, but his schoolmates educate him" It is inn poss ble for anybody to be we'll educated without the stimulus of rivalry and emulation. It is possible to develop talent in solitude, but not character. The greatest of the German poets, Goethe, said, talent grows solitude, but character is developed in the stream of life." A boy or girl edu. cated under tutors is sure to be one- sided character, and to have no real knowledge of life or of the world. Chil- dren of rich parents miss the best part of training and culture.-Cumberlan Presbyterian.

AN OPEN LErrER ro THE CouNCIL

John c. Jones Protests Against tho
 Hop Brook Water supply.
 To the honorable Court of Common
 Council of this city:
 Gentlemen-Re Referring to the article which appeared this morning in the Republican would also suggest that you take into consideration another fact that has apparently been overlooked, viz That just west of W0lcott center, about five and one hal, ,n tniies From ,Ifs thIfs city, the Mad river runs through a deep ravine, theehills rising I6ifi both sides for several hundred feet, affording one of the very best natural locations for the building of storage reservoir, the water covering hundreds of acres and setting back for several miles.
 The land being not very valuable could probably be purchased at low figures, it being mostly sprout land, and perhaps not so valuable as that adjoin- ing Hop Brook. It would not take two years to fill, depending upon the water shed, as there is here at all times an abundance of water and of the very best quality, being fed by springs, better | than the water we are now using and have been using ever since the intro duction of the water from the Prospect reservoir, which, by the way, is about the quality of the water we might ex' peCt from Hop DrOoks whlOn uurlhS tue summer months is only a myth. This, gentlemen, is well known fact, the water running there only after a heavy rain at almost any time during the sum- mer season.
 would also suggest that when the new reservoir is built (if ever) that there be two main pipes laid from the reser voir to the city. speak of this re membering that for the last twenty-foul hours we have been placed in rather disagreeable position, or might have been if fire had occurred in certain parts of the city, particularly in th' north part. Now, gentlemen, do not hs nasty in this matter and allow any per son to pull the wool over your eyes bu remember that there are several loca tions other than those mentioned in thu report of the commissioners, where thu supply is not only nearer bu: of bette quality, and this is what we all would like. Also the expense of buildinI reservoirs and laying the mains woul' be great deal less than either of thos mentioned. Very respectfully,
