KNEW Ills BIZ. The driver of delivery wagon was driving along South Twentieth street at noon yesterday, and to keep out of the rain he had the curtains drawn. He turned across the electric car track aud did not see the rapidly approaching car. Motorman Christian saw the danger and turned off the current, put on brakes and then reversed the car, thus averting smash. It took quick work, and showed how easily the car is controlled in the hands of good motorman.
 ALWAYS ENTERPRISING.-The Birming- ham Railway and Electric comp pany has es- tablished a branch ticket office at Norton's drug store, where tickets on the electric and East Lakes lines can be purchased at the re educed rate now being offered by that enterprising line. These tickets are put on sale for the convenience as well as econ omy of the patrons of the lines, and are duly appreciated. Birmingham is proud of her enterprising street railway com-' pany, and her citizens are always grateful for any and every convenience afforded them.
 CoNvIors LEASED.-The Hale county convicts have been leased to the Sloss com pany at $3. 50 month. This is just half what the same company paid for them last year. The Sloss company also had the Jefferson county convicts last year at SS a month, and this year it wants them at half that sum. south Alabama planter has offered $4 month and the county commis- sioners may accept it. If a planter can af- ford to pay S4 la month the operator of a mine can afford to pay more, for it has been found that it is more profitable to work them in the mines than on a farm.

MILITARY CHANGES.

Rumored That Majors Dickinson and
 Callahan Win Resign.
 Speaking of the rumored military changes the New Haven Leader says:
 "It can be stated with authority that there is in the line. and field for that matter, more than one patient and ambitious off, cer who Is anxiously awaiting the official orders announcing the fact that Colonel Doherty is no longer at the head of the regiment. And this Is saying nothing dis paraging of Colonel Doherty as a military man, but the colonel has so often led these officers on by his threats to leave that they are now becoming somewhat impatient.
 "It is understood that the colonel has not yet given up all hopes of going across the field and still clings to the fancy that Brigadier General Haven will give up his commission. And even should he resign before tho general it is thought that he could beat Colonel Frost in the contest for the place.
 But whatever becomes of Colonel Do- herty, it is more than likely that a va. caney will soon occur in position of con- mandant of the regiment. and there ap- pears to be but one candidate for the place. Lieutenant Colonel Burpes wants to go up and there appears to be no oppo- sition. He is said by competent military authorities to be ono of the best field off, cers in the brigade, and is very popular with the men.
 "As to who will be his successor is q matter that is not so easily dispoeed of should there be a contest It is said here, however. that Major Dickinson will go out with Colonel Doherty.
 Some of the local militIamen say also that Major Callahan will also resign soon and will not be a candidate. Others say that he will stand for the election of lieu tenant colonel"

 The almshouse today contains more boarders than at any time in it's history. There is scarcely room for another guest. One hundred and ninety-five is the total number under Regent Moran's super vision and of these eighty are women.
 The beautiful frescoins on the nsw Second Congregational church was badly damaged by yesterdays storm. A de- fectur roof allowed the water to come through and the decorations received a serious drenehing. How much dam ages is done cannot be estimated.
 If you have noticed the letter carriers roaming around the streets until after 2 o'clock to-day you will know that one of the new rules of the department has gona into effect Usually the carriers and clerks enjoyed a social hour before they proceeded to arrange their mail, but now they can only enter the office after in the morning and 2:15 in the afternoon. The boys regret this. as between one and two was an hour of pleasure to them.

His many friends in the schools felt quite a sympathy for hlm in his loss. It was suggested that another horse be bought by subscription. The tea, hers, the jani- tors and a few other friends. all gladly contributed Recently a horse valued at Sl25 was presented to him. It was a great surprise as he had received no intimation of what was going on.

The New DIphtherIR Cure Discussed By
 the State Board of Health.
 At a meeting of the state board of health at New Haven Saturday. it was voted to appoint a committee of three. consisting of Dr c. A. Lindsley of New Haven, secretary of the state board of health, Dr Wordin of Bridgeport and Dr Goodwin of Thomaston, to consider ths matter of recommending the legislature to establish an antitoxlne station, and to ask an appropriation of S15. 900 for that pur- pose. The sum, if appropriated. will be used by the state board of health in fitting up proper building in the state for the board and for the purchase of sufficient number of horses with which to begin pro- ducing the new cure for diphtheria. Dr Lindsley said that there would be needed in the state about thirty horses from which to secure the serum. The commit tee may recommend the purchase of 6 quantity of the cure. But in that case there would undoubtedly be a great delay. as the anti-toxine must come from the producers in New York or elsewhere, whereas if the state board should have an establishment the remedy could probably be secured with less delay. It is a matter that the legislature cannot afford to treat lightly, for its introduction into this state Is imperative. He said that he would fa- vor the distribution of the remedy by some authorized medical practitioner in order to prevent 'quacks" from engaging in the sale of It or spurious article and that he believed that the board should have the power to dispose of the new medicine to patients gratuitously or at & cost that would bear the least expense to the state.

 Father Treanor Takes steps to Bring
 About a Needed Reform.
 At the church of the Sacred Heart yes terday the pastor, Rev Father Treanor, made few pertinent remarks on the sub ject of funerals and marriages. He said it was his earnest desire. and it was tanta- mount to a rule. that in future no flowers be brought into the church at funerals. He said the custom had become a mere matter of worldly display. The gift of even a single flower upon the death of a loved one he respected, when it was the outward expression of the sorrow the heart felt, but he was satisfied that the practice had become abused and had lost its full significance. He therefore de- sired that so far as his parish is con- eerned the custom be abolished. The article published in Q recent issue of the DEMOCRAT, in which it was said that Catholics spent more upon funerals than Protestants. was also referred to. Father Treanor said there was no reason for this. He deprecated the display that caused ex- traordinary expense at Catholic funerals.
 Father Treanor's s remarks on the subject of matrimony were also interesting and contalned much food for thought. First, he said, it was a rule of the church, which could not be broken except for extraor- d,nary reasons, that all marriages be solemnized in the morning. He dwelt upon the solemnity of the sacrament and saId that Catholics should be married with a nuptial mass. The custom of young people leaving their work in the factories to witness marriages he denounced as an exhibition of morbid curiosity, not in Keeping with the occasion. And not only that. the people who make A practice of leaving their work to witness marriages are injuriug themselves with theIr em- ployers. There are so many out of work nowadays that employers will not long tolerate such actlons. Father Treanor also spoke of the custom of going on we'd ding tours and called 1t a foolish practice for ordinary people. He said that people should be governed by their cirsum- stances, and that it was better for those of moderate means to save their money and take Q practical view of these matters. He referred to the unwilllngneSs of many of the young men of the present day to get married and said that it was due in great measure to the extravaganza and high notions of the young women, who actually frighten young men of moderate means.

A Segregation That the Work Be Done
 By the Inmates of the AImshouss.
 Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 Having read in the DEMOCRAT the diff ferent sums asked for the removal of gar bage and offal from the city. the idea has occurred to me thst there is an excellent opportunity to save all this money for the taxpayers and at the same time give the city good service in this matter. would suggest that the work of removing the garbage and offal from the city be so ar ranged as to have the job performed by the inmates of the almshouse. There are always a dozen or more able-bodied men at the almshouse who could be set at work collecting the garbage and many of the other inmates could make themselves useful in feeding it to hogs on the town farm. In this way the sum paid out yearly for this purpose would be saved and 40U or 800 pigs could be raised, some of which could be butchered and the remainder sold, the price of which would greatly re- duce the expense of maintaining those at the almshouse who are unable to work, and whom the taxpayers are obliged to
 feed, house and clothe. I have been told that some of the inmates of the almshouse have been discharged from that institu-
 
 are able to work and should be compelled to earn their own living. If the members of the board of health and the selectmrn
 would come together and decide to do this
 work in some such manner as suggested, sufficient employment would be secured the year round for every inmate of the Almshouse who is able to do anything and in my opinion the inmates would be much
 better oil if their time should be occupied in some such work as this than they are at present There is no doubt that many of them would prefer doing little light work to being idle all the time. In this way they would feel that they were not a bur- den on the community. have no axe to grind in the matter of awarding the con- tract If the board of health decides to let it out in the usual manner it will be immaterial to me who the successful man happens to be, but thought it might nol
 be amiss to submit these views to the pub
 lie before the board has awarded the con.
 tract for three years more. The whole job could be done under the supervision
 of the keeper of the almshouse and if il
 should appear that the work in:erfered
 with his services among the inmates, the town and clty could we'll afford to pay man to see that the work was done in a proper manner. I think the matter i: we'll worth a little consideration on the
 part of those who claim that they are en-
 deavorlng to give the pubic the best pos sible service for the least money.

INVESTIGATE.
 Kelly Says

let us have an investigation nf the fire de- partment and place the blame where it be- longs. There is no doubt from what saw at o'clock last Friday morning that there is something wrong in the Waterbury Fire department. With only two lines of hose taking care of the rear of the Lswlor and Platt blc cks (where the fire was farcel that are connected with buildings up to Abbott avenue and with all the buildings facing on North Main street from Dextsr's to new odd Fellows hall. showed a state of affairs that seems to me ought to be in- vestigated by the common council. Moth Ing saved those buildings but the snowfall of that day. Will the honorable hoard of common council appoint committee of five to investigate!
 Call in every member of the fire depart ment and find out if they were present at the fire or no. If not, for what reason.
 Call in the officials of the department and find out why better protection was not furnished in the rear of these two buildings where the fire causd the greatest destruction.
 Call in the fire commissioners and And out the reason of their recent secret pro- ceedings in regard to the disastrous Ire.
 IT you find that the volunteer depart ment is to blame. let us have paid one st once. It not to blame. "go up higher"
 If you find the officials were to blame. let us know 1t. If not. ''go up higher"
 Call in the commissioners and find out if they have furnished the present depart ment with necessary facilities for pro- teotIon against fire and means of waking the firemen at night which is one of the troubles.
 After such investigation the city govern ment will then be able to vote :ntalli- gently on questions pertaining to improve ments in the fire department.

Board For Extravagance. Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 notice in your issue of last Saturday that a movement is now on foot to dispose of No 1's engine and replace the same with a new machine and all because the boiler needs new flues. Is this another attempt to saddle additional and needless expense on the already heavily burdened taXpayers? know something about boil CTS, having been in charge of one all my lifetime, and have no hesitation in stating that the boiler of No l's engine can be put in good repair for about $75 or SlOO Everybody knows that boiler will outwear two or three sets of hues, and I should like to have the fire board explain why they think it necessary to put the city to the expense of purchasing 2 new steamer. The other day you suggested that it would be we'll for the fire board to appoint a committee to examine the con. dilion of the apparatus in the different hose houses. Allow me 10 state that l think committee appointed to keep track of the doings of the fire board would be to the point just now. FIREMAN.
