 \ few weeks since, when football prospects for the Waterbury High school appeared rather dark and there was no one to encourage us, Miss Dee and the girls of this club were the first to offer financial assistance and moral support. And 1t was your kind inter est that prevented the boys from giv ing up in despair.
 On our own field and also in New Haven one eventful day in early No vember your brave voices were heard above the din of battle shouting for the blue and the white and encourag- ing the team of 1900 on to victory. Thus again you proved yourselves q factor in our triumph.
 We. the boys of the football team therefore appreciate the debt we owe you and gratefully accept the money which has helped LIS secure the cup"
 As result of the concert the treas ury. of the Glee club will be reDlenish- ed with handsome sum. Fifty dol lars of the proceeds. as stated above will go to the football eleven. while T part will go toward presenting cabi- net to the school.

NICARAGUA CANAL.
No Good Reason Why the Measure
 Should Not Pass.


 New York. Nov 27.-Senator John T. Morgan of Alabama. is quoted in a Tribune special from Washington as saying in an interview about the Mic aragua canal project:
 II can see no reason why the canal measure should not go through during the session. Every senator who has thus far returned to Washington has expressed his Willingness and determi- nation to vote for it, and I have no doubt that a large majority of the sen ate will vote for the bill when the time arrives. The trouble has been. and is likely to be. in securing permis- sion to consider the bill. When q vote is taken a great majority will vote in it's favor.
 q am in favor of q ratification of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. and l think this treaty will be disposed or favorahly The question of fortifica- tions along the canal is one which mas more interest for the countries Of Mic aragua and Costa Rica than for the Tinted States Nicaragua and Costa Rica own the ground and ought to have right to say just what they want in this direction. If they want the right to fortify the canal. then there will be some necessity for the discussion of this subject. but so far as the interests of this country are concerned the matter is Of very little consequence.'

Engineers Refuse to Work Until Their
 Comrades Are Liberated.
 Nogales. Ariz, Nov 27.-For several days there has been almost q tie-up on the Sonora division of the Southern Pacific. Friday all the engineers run hing intO this port from the south re- fused to pull q throttle in the Mexican state of Sonora until their comrades now lying in Mexican prisons should be released. The trouble comes from the custom of the Mexican authorities in arresting trainmen whenever an ac- cident happens to d Wayfarer, caused by the running of a train, regardless so the railroad men say, of who may have been at fault. The south-bound passenger express is the only train that has left for HermosillO and Quay mas for several days, and that was pulled by Master Mechanic Johnson in place of the regular engineer. In the jail at Guayamas at the present are Engineer Charles Smith. Conductor Langworthy. enc American brakeman and two Mexican brakemen: in jail in NogaleS Sonora across the line. are Engineer Jefferson Conductor Budge and Brakeman ROckin: at Magdalena are incarcorated an American engineer and a brakeman. The railroad con- pany'S attorneys say they have tried in vain to have the men brought to trial. for their innocence of the charg- es against them can be readily proven. The trainmen declare that they are frequently imprisoned without trial on the slightest preteXt.

PoL1cE COURT Do1NGs
Italian in Court This Morning Charged
 4 With 1Assa ut.

4 Il With Assa ult
 Last evening on Canal street an Italian row took place. The principals were Donatos Mancini and Dominic Addono. The latter is now laid up With q badly cut leg iii conseluepce and the former was in the city court this morning charged with assaulting him. AS usual knives played promi- nent part in the affair." and as usual, also the fight arose over very little, so far as known at present, a game of cards. Both men were armed with knives when the game began, but for some reason that will be explained when the case comes to trial, Addono laid his knife aside and when the TOW began Mancini picked it up and threw it away, thus having the other fellow at his mercy. In view of this alleged condition of affairs it is matter for wonder therefore that something more than stabbing did not take place Addono was cut on the left leg. The wound, Dr Paresi testified this morn ing, was two inches long and half an inch deep. It required four stitches. As AddOnO was unable to appear in court the case was adjourned to Mon day under q bond of $500. This was the only business in the city court to- day,

A LETTER TO W. B. GLOVER.

Dear Sir: There are several ways of cheating iu milk. An old-fashioned way is to water it. Nobody waters it now. A better way is to take out the cream-rich milk with the cream taken out is as good as poor milk with the cream all in.
 But we needn't go into particulars. You don't rob your milk and your cus- toners.
 Paint is as easy as milk to cheat with. Good paint is as rare as good milk; for human nature is much the same in milk men and paint men.
 You are just and true with your milk so are we with our paint. Devoe lead and zinc is twice as good as pure white lead; lasts twice ss long. There's twice as much butter in it.-[ Yours truly, F W. Devoe & Go.
