There was expert work indeed. There
was the result of real study, Whoever
got up that report went below the sur
face. and placed the three bids on a
true parity for examination.
But. of course, Who Is Kent was not
expected to do that. He had to evolve
results and there was only one way to
do that.

IN the new light which is shed upon
the entire problem by the report of the
Street and Water Board, the members of
the Board of Finance, who recently
drew up a somewhat hasty letter, will
no doubt find strong reason for modi-
flying their views.
Nobody can blame them for being
misled by the juggling with figures of
Who Is Kent or for being made nervous
by the malignant attacks of the Jour-
Aal.,' But when the subject now comes
Pore them officially, they will give more
personal study to it, and no doubt they
will see that their duty is to concur in
the award as made.

OFFICERS FEAR MURDER.

Coroner Once h. cIdrd That Death Was
 Accidental.
 The French population of Torringt0n are much excited by suspicion that Alex andria BsgeZ, the man found beside the tracks of the Naugatuck division of the Consolidated railroad on the night of De- cember 27, was murdered. Beg-z. when discovered. WIS unconscious and died a few hours later.
 Medic Il Examiner Hanchett, of Tor rington. made an examination of the body and in his first statement said it looked as though Beg-z had met with foul play; but he finally decided thal the man was kllled by a passenger train on the Naugatuck division. and Coroner Higgins rendered a verdict that Begez was killed by the cars. but many think he was murdered.
 A l3 years old French lad named Vic. tor Toillon, who was the last person to see B-gez alive half an hour b, fore the body was discovered alongside of the railroad tracks. says that Begez was then in com. pany with another man whom the boy dId not know.
 The unknown man. the lad says. grabbed Begez by the shoulder and exclaimed Come this way" They went up Litch' field street and turned down to the rail road track.
 After the fuding of Begez's body. amar rushed up to the scene and made conflict ing statements concerning the atfaII and then disappeared. The crown oI Begz's hat was slightly bloody and showed two clean cuts as though made by an ax, or hatchet. the use of which the heaC wounds seemed to indicate. On the morning following the killing l Celestin Jerdan. brother in law to Mir, Beg-Z came to tho latter's house took Begez's hat and cast it into the stov' where it was burned.

Wal. For the Big show.

manager who expends thousands of dollars in order that nothing will be ns- elected that will add to the enjoyment of his patrons certainly deserves success, and. as a rule. he generally gets it, if the public would endeavor to discriminate be- tween responsible companies and those who possess DO stability.
 There are plenty of good shows, but. unfortunately. there are hundreds which are utterly devoid of merit. Now. any one can tell at glance if they see a mag nidcent new store with massive plate glass windows. that it necessarily calls for e great outlay of money to erect it, and the stock in such O store Is generally of the finest. The same line of reasoning applies to theatrical enterprises; for instance, when you see a show billed in the lavish and expensive manner that characterixes ''She Couldn't Marry Three" company, you can rest assured that there is money and push back of it. The beautiful. art istic pictorial lithogrsphic work is the hn- est and costliest on the road. No htho- graphic firm would attempt that kind oi work without having ten thousand dollars down to insure them from loss. This Is only one of the many items of c great show. and the sane good taste which pro vIdes this beautiful printing will neglect no other department of the show. So there is no doubt that the production of ''ShS Couldn't Marry Three" is the biggest shoW of the season.

N. \. KEIM, JR may bo seen bonding over his machine with the little oyclomoter attached to the front wheel grinding out the miles in quick succession. The most noteworthy long distance performances last year were accomplished by two well known Philadelphia wheelmen, Dr. Mil ton N. Keim, Sr., and Milton N. keim, Jr
 Dr. NJ. N. Kcim, Sr., is one of the best known long distance riders in the Quaker City. His riding days go back to 1888 on the old "Ordinaries."

His riding days numbered 3l5, making his average 5915 miles a day. He made 6l centuries during tho year, II of which were covered during August He also ran up his largest monthly record in August, s,036 miles, and the smallest, Sl4 miles, in February.

Hansen of Minneapolis. who Is best known as tho present. holder of the 100 mile road record. During 1894 he rode q, ,053 miles. but through some technicality he is not en- titled to the Century Road clubs trophy, which goes to Dr. Keim. Ho will, how ever, be awarded a special medal
