CITY HALL MEETINGS.
DO1ngs of the Municipal Boards al
Last Nights Meetings.

DO1ngs of the Municipal Boards at
Last Nights Meetings.
The board of selectmen found little to do
at its regular weekly meeting last night.
They approved few bills, and fell to talk
ing about the workhouse and the meeting
this afternoon, when Henry T. Blake ap-
peared.
Mr.. Blake laid before the board plan
for proposed road to run through the
town farm, and the new West Rock park.
The selectmen voted to give the park COM
missioners power to construct the proposed
road on condition that they should give
employment to men receiving the town
work orders. The board then adjourned.
Brewer We1bel to be Prosecuted by
the Board of Health.
The board Of health gave considerable
attention last night to property owners
who had failed to obey the orders of the
board and abate nuisances. The most
prominent case was that of Joseph Weibel,
the brewer at the corner of Orchard and
Oak streets. It was set forth that there is
an offensive pool of stagnant water in
vacant lot on the corner of Vine street in
the rear of the brewery which is formed
by refuse water which flows through
wall from the brewery tubs. The pool is
complained of as a great nuisance in the
neighborhood and has frequently been
complained Of. The board ordered the nui-
sance abated week ago, but it has been
disregarded. Last night the board voted
to refer the matter to the city attorney and
Mr.. Weibel will be prosecuted.
Health Officer Wright presented report
of the health of the city for the month of
July up to date 1t showed that the city
was never in a healthier condition. So
far this month there have been 1873 deaths,
which if the average death rate is followed,
the death of the month will be about 40.
DR.. Wright reported very few contagious
diseases, which goes to prove, he says, that
the public school children are the chief
agencies for the spread of contagion.
Clerk Bailey called the attention of the
board to the fact that the appropriation
for the salaries of inspectors was at low
ebb and that the new plumbing inspector
would necessitate the transfer of moneys
from other appropriations to pay the in
spector until December. The board will
ask the board of finance to make the neces-
sary appropriations. If they are not made
one Of the sanitary inspectors will be
dropped. Plumbing Inspector Eldridge
was present for the first time since he was
appointed and received few instructions
regarding his duties.

He Will he Arraigned Before JUS
tfce Pardee To-Day.
The case against Frank Dugan, who was
arrested two weeks ago for manslaughter
in causing the death of Mrs. De Valence,
will come up for hearing before Justice
Pardee of West Haven at 2 o'clock this af-
ternoon. Dugan, it will be remembered,
was first arrested on charge of breach of
the peace and re-arrested on the more
grievous charge of manslaughter after
Mrs. De Valence's death. Coroner Mix
has made an official report to the grand
juror of his finding in the case, exonera-
ting Dugan of criminal responsibility for
Mrs. De Valence's death, and the COM
plant against him on that score will
doubtless be nolled to-day. But he will
probably be put to plea on the other

A Hired Girls Washing Day,

am "only hired GIRL" but | have
few suggestions which hope will be help
full to some reader. will describe two
washing days-one sad and the other pleas
ant. We will suppose it is a cold Monday
late in January; a girl has large washing
for family of five or six, including one
baby; there is snow on the ground; the
clothes must be dried outdoors and only a
few can be hung out at a time, as the girls
fingers almost freeze; she feels the cold and
the snow around her feet, and she wonders
with feeling of bitterness why she should
be poor and dependent on others. Some of
the ladies who have never done washing
in their lives know nothing of the hard
ships poor hired girl has to endure on a
winter wash day. When the clothes at
last are dry, it is as hard to get them down
as it was to hang them up; they are frozen
to the line, and each piece the girl is afraid
of tearing. Washing is a day dreaded from
one week to another as long as it is cold
weather.
Now will tell you how we do. Sticks
are fastened to the ceiling Of the cellar; in
them are bored holes through which the
lines are stretched pretty close together.
The washing do on Saturday; this gives
the clothes all tie time until Monday
morning in which to dry. The clothes do
not freeze nor tear and just think how
much easier it is for me. Wash day is no
longer dreaded, no matter what the wealth
er is Of course it is necessary to do each
days special work one day sooner than
usual, but it gives a day of rest between
two days of hard work, and it is such
feeling of comfort on Sunday to think the
washing is done--Hilda NJ. Lyndin in
Springfield Homestead.

Ready for II Lynching.

A lynching was nearly precipltated by
the error of a Kansas operator some time
ago. 1t was only averted by the discovery
that there was no one to lynch A young
farmer was called away from home for
few days His wife went to visit her
brothers in town near by during his abb
sence. The third day her husband tele-
graphed her, big ball, meet me at Wichita
tonight" There was to be dance and he
wanted his wife to attend. This was a
splendid opportunity for the imp of mis-
chief who causes telegraphic bulls" He
tempered with the message so that when
the farmers wife read it it said, big Bill
got me at Wichita o-night.'
Her instant and very natural conclusion
was that her husband had either been
captured or shot, or both, by desperate
named big Bill" Her brothers agreed
with her, and the whole family and num-
Der of neighbors, all heavily armed, took
the first train for Wichita to rescue the
husband and hang "Big Bill" The hus-
band was waiting calmly at the station for
his wife. The vigilance committee de-
manded big Bill" and were not at all
satisfied with the husband for standing
there free and uniniured. The brothers
criticised him severely because he wasn't
kidnapped, and announced that in their
opinion he had been guilty of rank decep-
ton. A fight was prevented by his wires
intervention and an explanatlon.-NeW

How the Fox Escaped.

A good story is related at the expense OF
a we'll known business man of Little Rock.
His hunting proclivities are we'll known,
and he has the reputation of being so skill
full in this line that seldom, if ever, does
anything escape when he gets on its trail.
Last Saturday however, he was defeated in
most provoking fashion. He saddled up
his steed and took up trail that led to the
southwest from the city. A short distance
away he started handsome fox. Away
the animal few, with Martin in close pur-
suit. He seemed to be unlucky, for no
matter how fast he rode the fox always
kept just out of reach. The race lasted
some hours. during which the sly little
animal doubled and redoubled his track
At last the fox showed signs of fatigue.
and Martin began to smile at the thought
of the satisfaction he would get. But
alas. they struck herd of hogs, and just
IS Martin was preparing to ''close in, - the
fox sprang on the back of long. legged
porker-one of the kind that can outrun q
race horse. The hog raised his snout,
gave q frightened grunt. and away he few.
Martin stopped, completely spellbound
with amazement. The fox held his scar
like circus rider, while the further the
hog got away the faster he seemed. to go.
Martin watched the strange psir till they
disappeared in brush patch, and then re-
turned to Little Rock. He related the
strange occurrence to number of ''iDti-
mate friends" and from them it became
known throughout the ciiy.-Ez.

Plenty of Sleep.

1t is all very we'll to commend getting up
early in the morning 1t would be difficult
to exaggerate either the pleasure or the
advantages afforded by early rising. But
to rise early one must retire early.
A plenty of sleep is one Of the first requi-
sites of health Fevers and other diseases
are often occasioned by excessive fatigue
A person should sleep enough to get thor
oughly rested For some cause, sleep In
the early part of the night seems to be more
refreshing than sleep for the same number
of hours toward morning.
Unfortunately modern social habits are
tending to reverse the order of nature, turn
ing day into night and night into day.
This is very destructive to the beauty az
we'll as the health of our American girls.
1t has been recommended that when
lady is going to attend late party-and
they are all late nowadays-she should
sleep several hours the day previous. 1t Is
asserted that the marvellous beauty OF some
of the middle aged women of England has
been preserved amid all the designations OF
fashionable society in this way.-New YORK

| advocates the Equalization of this destruc-
| tiv @ ira fic. No other evil is leagllzed by
us why then should the liquor traffic be
| legaltzed and protectedH l, as Christian
man would rather vote at every election

Lottery, than | would to vote for tax

estlv believe that of these two gigantic
evils. the liquor traffic is the greater evil,
and therefore the lotteries have the best

bid that | should ever vote legalize either.
We have no right to dismiss this sub
ject by saying "other good men support
tax and license parties, and why not we?'
II, as Christian man. we take part in
political matters at all, 1t becomes US to
inquire on all moral questions, what is
right, and then support only the right
without any reference as to where it is
foun !, whether in an old party or nav
one, or whether it is big party or little
one which advocates the right. If we
plant ourselves upon this broad principle,
and never compromise. the time is not far
off when big and triumphant party will
come to the front, proudly bearing aloft
the white banner of prohibition. But just
so long as men vino profess better things
will com promise on this great question,
and continue to vote with old tax-and-
license party. with 40 higher motive than
to "beat the old License party" just so
long will we have the legalized liquor
traffic, and the blood of many drunken
men and ruined families be found upon
our skirts. 1t is simply every Christians
duty to do right on this great question,
and God will take care of results.
You can never get a brewer, distiller,
liquor seller or saloon man 10 vote for any
party, no difference how big, if said party
is committed to the prohibition of the
liquor traffic when the day shall come
that it can as truthfully be said that no
minister. elder, deacon, or Christian man,
will vote for any purity advocating the le-
galizatlon of the liquor traffic by tax or
license. then our redemption from this evil
will b. here. 1t is true to-day that ''the
children of this world are, in their genera
ton wiser than the children of light"

true Christian citizenship and may the
Lord direct us so that, at the final day we
may as cheerfully render our account for
our political sction as for any other act of
our lives.-Jehn banner. Dayton, 0.
