NOT EVEN BUILT YET.

A Clairvoyant Trolley Road That is Said to be Paying Good Returns. A prominent citizen writes to the Courier as follows:
 T see that an afternoon paper has taken to operating big deals regarding the various street railroads of this city and to concocting daily some new and splashing absorption by which some foreign corporation gobbles up some New Haven corporation to the great astonishment of the aforesaid New Ha- ven corporations who know nothing of the deals. Yesterday another wonder full deal is reported. This says:
 "'The United Gas Improvement com- pany, which has been gobbling up large number of the small trolley roads of the state since a year ago, has, 1t is reported on good authority, purchased the Woodbury X Southbury Electric Railway company and will operate the new acquisition in conjunction with its properties. The purchase of the new road was made last week and the con- trol of the stock was taken over by the big syndicate
 "'The Woodbury & Southbury road Is one of the smaller of the local traction companies of the state, but has been paying a good return on It's investment from the start and is considered to be one of the best trolley companies in the state for it's size
 Now this is a little too much to swallow. Somebody must have perpe- trated a huge joke on the paper, for the fact is that instead of paying a good return on it's investment and be- ing considered one of the best trolley companies in the state, the aforesaid Woodbury & Southbury road isn't built yet, hasn't even been contracted for, and application has not been made yet for a layout of this proposed little road.
 "The little Woodbury & Southbury story is creating considerable sport.

PIke's Toothache Drops Cure in One Minute
NEW HAVEN MILL CLOSED.

Puddlers Refus to Accept Reduction of Wages and Strike. | The mill of the New Haven Iron and Steel company, formerly known as the New Haven Rolling mill, was not In operation yesterday owing to strike. Last week the company notified their skilled men, known as "puddlers," that they would be obliged to reduce the wage scale from 5 to 15 per cent. be- ginning Monday morning.
 The men notified the managers Sat urday afternoon that they could not submit to this reduction. Yesterday 100 men went on strike, and say that they will not return until the old scale is restored
 The men who are out are those who have been earning about $4 day and work for so much ton. The cut means reduction to about $3.50 day. Gen eral Manager Schall who represents the big Philadelphia syndicate owning this company, stated yesterday that the company will insist upon the reduced scale and that the men will have to &C., cept those terms or remain out of work
 MT. Schall states that the company is receiving 75 per cent. less to-day for iron than it was receiving a year ago. That their competitors in Pennsylva- mia, Delaware and New Jersey have re- duced the scale Of wages, and that 1t is absolutely necessary to make the re- duction.
 Everything is quiet at the mill but both employer and employe appear de- termined in this matter and long strike Is likely.

THE THIRD RAIL SYSTEM.

President Hall of the New York and New Haven road said yesterday that the third rail system in use between Hartford and Bristol is a success and will be extended to Waterbury in few months, He believes that some system of the third rail may be adopted for the main line of the Consolidated road. It is not likely, he said to be the same as used between Hartford and Bristol, but some improved type of the third rail. He added that in a month the Warren and Bristol division of the New Haven road will be run by the trolley system for passenger traffic. The third rail system was not deemed practical for this division owing to the many shore towns along the route, and the third rail might prove dangerous to persons crossing the tracks.

THE latest luxury offered to citizens
of Chicago Is funeral on the Install
ment plan. A policy will cost $50. and
will secure a s75 funeral whenever
anyone of the family so endowed re-
quires post mortem offices. The plan
of the burial association provides that
the purchaser of a policy pay 81 down
and 81 month until he has paid $50
into the association. He then is grant
ed paid-up policy, which will always
be good. Not alone his own name,
but that of every member of his fam
lily will appear on the face of the po
icy, and for any such person the po-
Icy may be used. After the first fun
eral the policy is withdrawn, land if the
family wishes further protection new
policy must be secured.

CLEANER Ell pASO.

Certainly our people ought to bestlr
themselves and clean up the city be
fore the two thousand visitors com
next month. Our streets, sidewalks,
alleys, and door yards ought to look
oil an and neat. There is another rea-
son why just now is a good time to
clean up. At the beginning of the
gu INNER all the Accommodations OF the
winter ought TO be carried away, and
fresh start taken. Cleanliness is the
very best disease preventive. It does
away largely with the necessity of
more drastic measures. 1t prevents
cpl iemics, and increases the general
health of the populatoo.
E1ucstion In the law of health and
In matters of municipal and house sani-
tation is the first step in working any
sanitary reform. Indifference to mu-
nicipal cleanliness is q mark OF igpor-
snce and Is something TO be ashamed
