Suggestion of Waterbury Contractor
with Regard to the Almshouse Job.
The adjourned town meeting will be
held on Wednesday evening and it prom
isds to be a hummer. The committee ap-
pointed to investigate the bills of NJ. J..
DAILY for plumbing and steam heating will
make an interesting report, probably
recommending the employment of counsel
to push the matter and the calling in of
experts to examine the work.
In conversation with DEMOCRAT re
porter this morning well known gentle
man who is in the plumbing and steam
heating business suggested that before ex-
perts are called in it would be advisable to
obtain the figures of some responsible con-
tractor, outside of Waterbury, for doing
the work. Place the specifications in the
hands of some one who knows nothing
about the trouble over Mr. Days bills and
secure figures for a first class job. If We
simply call in couple of experts, he said,
to look over the work and pass their opin-
ion upon the charges. the contractor will
have no difficulty in finding half dozen
experts to testify that the work is first
class and the charges reasonable.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

PitchetPetty has promised to report for

rests with him whether he will be a MEM
Der of the team or not.
Jimmy Ryan's days as ball player seem
to be numbered. Last summer he was in
| jured in n railway wreck and was taken to
| Chicago hospital. He was discharged a
few days since, but when he started to use
his injured leg the wounds burst open and
| there was some danger of bleeding to
death. He is back in the hospital again

1t is said that the New Yorks each made

John Ward, it is said, will want a big
salary to manage the New York team next
year. He made money for his employers
the past season, and desires to be given
credit for it.
John Irwin speaks highly of pitcher Nc
Laughlin, who did such excellent work for
| the Wilkesbarres last season. He thinks
him the best pitcher in the Eastern league
| and better man than Fisher, who was
signed by the Clevelands.
There were ten league pitchers who par
| ticipated in at least fifteen games last sea-
| son who did not steal single base Nine
ont of ten pitchers are good for nothing
except mere pitching.
New York base ball lovers realize that
changes are necessary in the New York
| team, and are now specializing as to its
| probable composition. Manager Ward. on
whom the responsibility rests, refuses to
| talk. Wards present idea is to strengthen
the team regardless of expense. but
| whether the directors will consent to an
outlay of several thousand dollars for the
purchase of certain players desired is
rather doubtful. The New York club will
begin next season with $1,000 in the treas
ury, which according to the knowing ones,
is not enough money to strengthen the
| team in weak places.

Murphy started earlier than usual.
This movement" he said. sis to make
home happier and to make a holier,
sweeter atmosphere around the fireside.
This campaign is the most remarkable
since 1 have been in Connecticut, and
think we are putting the ointment in the
right place. We leave our religion in our
clothes when We take them off Sunday, but
we want a christianity that will stay with
us through the week. I don't expect to
live long while, but intend to live as
long as see other people living, and
like to speak my gratitude to people who
have helped me. The foundation stone OF
this movement is kindness and love. Five
thousand people in your city have put on
full in this movement. Be kind and loving
and broad gagged and charitable"
DIR Davenport, L. J. Atwood, d. F,

mentioned. and Murphy began again.
I'VE need kindly influences to get into the
hearts of men and help them drive out the
evil which is crushing their existence, and
lead them back to their family, their
country and their God. Young men be
true to your mothers love and your
fathers devotion and they will lead you
away from this evil to the headland OF
total abstinence Nh 10 hax-a
mitted to be instrumental in saving one
young man from an unfortunate grave"
The meeting this evening will be at the

so well by the amended graduate rule as
her management thought. As soon as the
Yale delegates succeeded in getting the
amendment through at the football meet
ing last week overtures were made. to
Harmon Graves. Trinitys former back
and half back on last years Yale team.
Sanford. the giant center rusher of two
former Yale teams was also asked to play.
Last year the law school faculty forbade
Sanford to play on account of his low
standing in studies: He has been doing
somewhat better this year and it vas
thought that he would be allowed to play.
1t is understood, however, that the faculty
will not allow him to play. Graves will
probably play at half back and greatly
strengthen the team, but center rush is
one of the weakest points on the team and
Sanford could be used handily.

right to go to the town meeting next We'd
nesday highland vote appropriations of not
less than thirty thousand dollars to be ex-

when the first day of April comes you will
owe no man and the thirty thousand
dollars will find its way back to the SAME

great deal of good and no man is ont of
