A patriotic meeting of Court Falcon,
A. o. F. of A, was held last night. The
purpose of the meeting was the present
ing of a beautiful silk American flag,

II. Murray, the marshal of the court, be
provided with horse in the parade.
Brother Peter McKeon presented the

organization Of a Court of Foresters in
Waterbury in 1874, six courts and one
conclave, containing in all over $50
members, have grown up and no court
possessed an American flag. This flag
believe to be one of the handsomesG in
the city. 1 am proud to present it, not
only because it is the flag of our country,
but because it is the first ever owned by
court of Foresters in Waterbury. 1t
shows that we are not only Foresters,
but true American citizens, and that we
will always be ready to rally around this
flag, to fight or to die for it,
Chief Ranger Bolger accepted the flag,
81 hope" said lie, "that the members OF
Court Falcon will live long to carry this
banner and to look up to it without
blushing. hope that the members will
always be ready to stand by it and its
noble principles, and that this court will
flourish as this banner has done"

That a joint meeting of the aldermen

a hydraulic engineer to make a complete
Investigation, or is it only necessary for
him to make a report as to which is the
best source of supply, relying upon the
water commissioners and city engineer for
estimates of expensesa These are ques-

I understand that the board of police
commissioners will meet within a few
days to act in the matter of the appoint
ment of Patrolman G. j. Allen. 1t has
been discovered that Mr.. Allen is not an
elector in Waterbury. He cl& inns, how
ever, to be citizen of the state, having
voted in Plainville a few years ago.
ment no person shall be appointed upon
the force unless he is a citizen of the
United States, resident of the city and
an elector. That the last clause means
an elector in Waterbury is obvious, be-
cause if 1T does not it is superfiuous, as
the ground would be fully covered by
the rule, which is also state law, that
policemen must be citizens of the state.
Mr.. Allen is highly spoken of, and would
no doubt make good officer, but 1 be-
lieve his appointment is illegal under the
circumstances.

it, and if it found its victims at any 9th

grip and treated accordingly. But it is
not the grip. Its existence as specific
ailment was established long before the
grip came to trouble us. Neither is it a
summer cold. 1t is very much like Il
cold, only more so, and the authorities
are agreed that its MEETING cause is the
dust or pc lien from certain weeds which
