Death of DIR Alfred North, One of Water
bury's Oldest Physicians.
DIR Alfred North died at 7;30 last even

lapse very rapidly and died shortly after
o'clock. DIR North was born in Goshen,
October 5, 1886. His early life was spent
on farm. At 10 years of age he entered
Brown university and graduated in the
spring of 1859 when he entered the Office
of DIR Buell. of Litchfield and began the
study of medicine. In the fall of 1859
he entered the New York college of Physi-
clans and Surgeons and was graduated in

INCREASED THE SALARIES
Trouble in the Order of the knights of
Columbus.


Columbus.
Trouble is brewing in the knights of
Columbus, owing to an increase in the
salaries of some of the national officers.
The national convention of the order met
in New Haven last month and it is charged
that the executive body not only reelected
itself but also increased the salaries of
some of the higher officers. 1t is said that
Supreme Knight Phelan's salary was in
creased from $500 to 1000 year, and
Supreme Secretary Colwells to 81 500
There is a strong feeling in some of the New
Haven councils, and it is proposed to send
circulars to all councils IN Connecticut, ex-
planning the situation and asking that
special meetings be held to protest against
what is termed the unjust action of the
convention.
Supreme Grand Knight Phelan was seen
by a reporter last night and said:
1T seems that the salaries were fixed
when the order had but 2, 500 members. 1t
now has 1000 and the council deemed that
even the increase of salary was not COM
mensurate with the growth. SECRETARY
Colwel is obliged to employ a private
secretary, his daughter at a salary of
several hundred dollars and must give his
entire time to the work. 1t has all along
been the policy to keep the present su-
preme officers in power for a time, at least
because the order is in its incipiency and
no hands can be better fitted to guide it
over new seas, than those who launched
it
Secretary Phelan points to the economi-
cal administration of the order, by which
it has cost less than ~ cents Q member for
actual running expenses, and by which it
has in Massachusetts death rate fifth
lowest among twenty similar orders.

lowing suggestions to WorShipers:"
Fall or slide i'll the pew nearest the
aisle. Stay there. Do not sit erect, but
lop. Rest one elbow on the arm Of the
pew and support the side of the face
with the outspread palm.
DO not rise during the singing of the
hymns. The fact that you played tennis
or baseball on Saturday afternoon or
lard table Saturday night entities You To
a little rest ON Sabbath morning.
Extend your legs as far under the
pew as You can without sliding off the
seat. Gracefully and politely cover your
mouth with your hand while yawning
during the sermon. If the minister is
looking at you, cover the mouth with
both hands, and at the close of the yawn
bring your jaws together with a cheer
full snap.
After looking at your watch always
turn your head and gaze longingly and
earnestly toward the door.
DO not move if 4 stranger. accom-
panied by his wife and daughter. at
tempts TO enter your pew. Permit them
to climb over your legs. no matter how
much it may annoy You.
DO not annoy strangers who may en-
ter the church by looking ut them ar
even glancing in their direction. If they
really want n seat. they will find one
without the intrusive interference of
other people.
AT the close Of service remark aloud.

A Waterman at the West Brass Mill
Narrowly Escapes Death.
Jumes English, Waterman at the West
Brass company, was severely scalded by
the bursting of large steam valve on one
of the boilers about 40 o'clock this morn
ing. While going his round Mr. English
noticed that one of the boilers was not
working properly, so he climbed on top of
the string of boilers and opened the de-
fectiye valve to make connection with an
adjoining boiler. when piece of the valve
about six inches in diameter flew off, strik-
ing him and knocking him down. The es-
Gaping steam and hot water was dashed
over his arms, breast and thighs. He
crawled down from the top of the boiler
and made his way with difficulty to the
north part of the works, calling another
Waterman to draw the fire. He then sue
ceeded in getting to the wash house and
took off his clothing. but was not able to
give any notice of his whereabouts. Pat
rick German reached the mill about GAO,
and was informed of the accident. He
searched for English and found him in the
wash house. DR. Brown was hastily sum-
moned and an ambulance sent for in
which the injured man was placed and
conveyed to his home, 275 Pine street.

FIRE AT WEST HAVEN.
Railroad Grove Laid Waste Early thi.
Morning.

Railroad Grove Laid Waste Early this
Morning.
WEST HAVEN, Nov 1S.-ShOrtly before 8
o'clock this morning the town was visited
by one of the worst fires for many years.
The intrinsic loss resulting is not so great
but the damage done to the far famed
grove, known as Railroad grove, is ire
parable. The fire started in the Grove"
restaurant, owned by the West Haven street
railroad company. The building was
erected last spring and was in every way
an ideal one for summer resort place. 1t
was a frame building and when the flames
were once started ii burned like
finder. In a very short time it was
in ruins. In an alarmingly short time
the flames communicated to the pavilion
and Y less than half an hour that, too,
was destroyed. The fire then became a
condaSration and spread to the round house
OF the railroad company and from there to
the Converse house and the barn attached.
The latter was reduced to ashes shortly
and it was only by strenuous efforts on the
part of the firemen that the Converse
house was saved from destruction; as it IS
one end is destroyed. The fire lasted
about three hours. The buildings which
were destroyed We're all wooden and can be
reconstructed at comparatively small
cost. The greatest loss is on the damage
done to the grove. a large number of the
great trees which have made this grove
famous were killed by the heat and flames
The fire was undoubtedly of incen-
diary origin.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Gave Timely Notice.

Gave Timely Notice.
Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
; There seems to be some slight misunder-
standing between the st Johns Catholic
club of New Haven and the so-called Wa
terbury Athletic club. If we may judge
from the New Haven Palladium. A letter
was written some days ago stating that the
team would not go down to New Haven
owing to the impossibility of securing the
players. Mr. O'Connell, We believe, re-
ceived that letter. There was no dispatch
sent the morning of the day the game was
to have been played, if the writer is in
formed correctly. We are sorry to have
disappointed the members of the st Johns
club, but We are of the opinion we are not
deserving of uncomplimentary remarks.
We think we sent word in time. If it was
not done then We are misinformed. Mr.
O'Connell can probably answer that ques-
ton best. Respectfully Yours,
