 The adjourned town meeting will be held in town hall this evening and the committee will make it's long deferred report There have been many foolish rumors of what the com mittee has found floating about, but as near as can be learned nothing has been found that reflects on the honesty of any of our town officials, but the methods of bookkeeping that has been practiced for several years in town affairs are not up to the times, although there is not shadow of anything out of the way in the accounts. The whole matter of the continued adjourned meetings and appointment of the com nfttee is considered as nothing but 'arce and at the meeting this evening he report will be made of what the committee failed to find.

Science AtnneS for Nature's Taults

During the fast few years the medical profession have realized the great ben 1 efits to be derived from the use of I,fth- ia Water for rheumatism, kidney. blood and stomach trour I have been more or less baffled on account of the fact that they have been unable to ob- tain uniform quantity of this valuable salt in the water of any of the natural
 springs, owing to the fact that it ap-
 pears in greater quantities when the
 springs are low, while on the other
 hand, the quantity is much less when
 the springs are running more freely.
 Here is where science has stepped in
 and rectified natures irregularity.
 The Hygeia Ice and Water company of New Haven, Conn.,, in putting on the
 market their Aeriated Lithia Water
 have taken in the first place, an abso- lutely pure distilled water and added to this just the right amount of the salts of Lithia and Bi-Carbonate of Soda that physicians believe will produce the most beneficial results.
 In addition to this they have every facility in their ice plant of introducing more natural carbonic-acid gas into q given amount of water by a special cold process than has ever before been &C., complshed. The result is a perfect wa ter which doctors everywhere look upon with the greatest favor, because it is not only uniform as to it's ingredients. so that it affects the most wonderful cures of rheuma tism and kidney troI- bles, but on account of the powerful manner in which it is so charged it be- comes of great value as a beverage in all throat troubles. All this. together with the fact that it is the most delight ful palatable table water one could im- agine, is making it more popular with and patients alike each day.

DIR. BURTON,S LECTURE.
The First in the University Extensio
 Series.

The First in the University Extension
 Series.
 The first of Dr. Richard Burton's lec-
 lures on American Literature" in the
 first of the four courses projected by
 the New Haven University Extension
 Center for their winters work, was giv-
 en last night at United church chapel before large audience. The lecturer
 was introduced by the president of the local center, A. Maxcy Hiller MT. Hil- Ter told in few words what was done hoped for this year He said that last year they had about seventy-five or eighty members. Four courses were given and when all expenses were paid there was left a balance of twenty dol lars to start this winters work with This year four courses will be given, and as the price of full membership the cost of each lecture to about twelve and one-half cents. He urged all the present members to bring in their friends, and said that the membership here hardly compared we'll with that of the Meriden center, which is about six hundred
 The chapel was well filled last night. which must mean that a great many attend who do not take up the regular work.
 Dr. Burton's hour was taken up with introductory matter, giving the scheme Of the lectures in his course. and with a short dissertation on the American dra- ma. He said that the ordinary reader can talk glibly about Howels and War her and the rest, but of American liter ature as an organic whole he has no very definite ideas. He defined Ameri can literature for his own purposes A something that was at once real litera- ture and by an American author. Thus he excluded the productions of the colo nlal and Revolutionary periods. saving that the object of the course was liter ary, not antiquarian, and would there fore begin with the Republic. Many critics right here at home | assert that there is no literature that IS really American in contradistinction | to that which is English, notably War | her in the January Harper's and Profes sor Barrett Wendell of Harvard in one of his "Stelligeri" papers. Burton disa- grees with these men on this point. since our climate, scenery, social habits and form of government are all so es sentially different from the English and | must reflect themselves both for practi- 'al as we'll as purely subjective reasons n our literature
 For the drama in this country he has great hopes. He recommended the works of Lawrence Hutton and Rrander Matthews on this subject, praising both 'f these men as grave and earnest stu ients of the stage. Dramatic produc- ions in this country might be classified as follows:
 Ffrst-Indian Plays.
 Second-War Plays.
 Third-Frontier Plays.
 Fourth-Typical American Plays.
 Fifth-Society and International
 He considers it a fallacy to say that ood plays are not made from novels Uncle Toms Cabin and "Rip Van Vinkle" of the older works and "TriI- " and ''The Prisoner of Zenda" of to- ay were real works of art and well ble to stand alone despite their deriv- tive origin. Although plays of to-day ave not the literary value of the Greek Elizabethan dramas, as works of art

Leonard Marbury Made Special States

Leona rd Marbury Made Special States
Attorney for Alexandria County.
There was something of a sensationin the
Alexandria county court yesterday when
Judge Chichester, in his charge
to the grand jury, instructed them
to look into certain charges that
had been made against the justices
of the peace Of the county, who were cited
to appear with their books and papers
before the jury. 1t is alleged that the
administration Of justice in the county is
but a farce, and IL is also notorious fact
that but few, If any, of the justices ever
turned over to the State the money they
collected for fines, ETC., and it was to
these charges that Judge Chichester re-
ferred.
The Judge, before dismissing the Jury.
said that the safety of the people depended
upon the honesty Of the justices and law
officers, and II on examination, it was
found that any of the justices had violated
their oaths of office they should be removed.
If they were guilty OF retaining fines col
lected by them, 1t was embezzlement.
felony, and the penalty would be confine
ment In the State prison. The jury then
took the papers, etc., and returned to
their room, and were still engaged in the
examination of the magistrates accounts
when, at 4 O'Clock yesterday evening, the
court adjourned.
Another sensation of yesterdays term of
the court was the appointment of Mr.
Leonard Marbury, the States Attorney for
Alexandria City, as n special attorney for
the commonwealth In the county, and he
will conduct all prosecutions in the future.
The appointment is for one year, and is
made, it is said. in consequence of the con-
tinued illness of CommOnwealth's Attorney.
johnson. Mr.. Marbury will at once begin
proceedings against all the lawbreakers
In Alexandria county, and will endeavor to
restore law aud order.

VIEW 1T WITH ALARM.
Possibility OF a War With England
Causes Apprehension.

Some of the old officers OF the Navy, the
old dogs who are on the retired list, view
with alarm" the war-like talk whch IS
heard In all sections OF the country because
Of the strained relations whlch now eAs.
between the United States and England IN
the matter of the Venezuelan boundary dis
pute.
The old fellows who fought the three
dc,,kers, the corvettes and the frigates or
the ante -bellum period, do not take mucn
stock In the ability of the modern battle
ship to occupy the place OF half dozen
fighting craft of the old days.
..AIl this talk of war" said one of these
old sea-dogs to-day, '.is very iniudicious
at the present time. We have got four or
five battleships with their guns mounted
fifteen feet above the decks, and smoke
stacks seventy feet high, which AFFORD eX-
cellept marks for well-mounted guns IN
modern forts, and ia view OF the untried
character of these modern so-called war
vessels, the United States cannot afford to
get into controversy with any sensible
power.
"But one thing above all others which
brings chagrin to old-time naval officers
la the fact that the present Secretary of the
Navy Is at ha "a rds with nearly every officer
of the Navy who has seen real service.
There Is hardly a man in the Navy to-day
who wears the epaulettes of captain who
has not had some sort OF q ScrlIniniSe Will
the present head of the Navy. think, "
he continued, that the President of the
United States made the biggest mistake OF
his life when he selected Mr.. Herbert for
this important office.
"Now, Mr.. Herbert may be great man
in his way. He may be profound states
man, but he Is not the man to place at the
head of the naval establishment. He has
antagonized every naval officer of promi-
nence on the active list, and has succeeded
in stirring up more strife between the COM
missioued and warrant officers OF the serv-
Ice than was ever known before In the
history of the Navy.
sI am astonished that the newspaper
press of the country has paid so little at
teution to this subject, for it is one of the
most important with which we have to
deal, and 1t cannot be denied that the discip-
line of the Navy has been impaired through
the actions of the present Secretary, nor
can the statement be controverted tnat we
are in exceedingly bad shape to-day.
'.There is not an officer in the service
who does not declare, when he speaks hon
estly. his firm belief to be that Great Brit
ain is infinitely better prepared in the mat
ter of naval officers for a controversy with
this country than we are with any country"
The remarks of this old retired officer are,
it is stated, indorsed by many of the men
in the active service. Some of them are
less emphatic in their denunciation Of the
present policy, but they all agree that there
is something wrong in the administration
of the department.

SLIPPED THE CUT."

Ancient Confidence Game That Is
Still Successfully Worked.
A trio OF Slick confidence men, Ii is re-
ported, have during the past week worked
a new version OF an old skin game on sew
city.
A well-lressed stranger dropped into A .
Pauli's saloon at No. 227 Pennsylvania
avenue Saturday, and, calling for glass
of beer, laid down a $40 bill. The bar
keeper handed out in change a five, four
ones and ninety-five cents III silver, when
the stranger discovered dollar in his
pocket, and, asking for the return of his
ten, proffcred the smaller bill in payment.
Two other customers coming in at that
moment, and asking to be waited on quickly,
the barkeeper took up the original change
from the counter and returned it to the
drawer without counting.
The stranger Immediately disappeared
ana a lew l4iuutes later, IN going over mis-
cash, the barkeeper discovered he was out
81 In the short time the bills had lain on
the counter the slick customer had "slipped
the cut and substituted 81 bill for the
five.
Mr. PAUL. Immediately saw that he was
the victim of fraud and started in pursuit,
but was stopped at the door by the two
individuals who q little while before were
In such a hurry for their drinks. He DIshed
them aside, however, and found his man
several blocks away on Second street. An
argument ensued, but the saloon keeper
finally got his five, and was therefore 81
ahead of the game.
1t is said the trick has been more or less
successfully worked at several other sa-
looms in the city.
