 The entertainment given to cele- brate the completion of the trolley last night in the lower pin factory was great event. The large building was filled with people, about every family in the village being represented there and large numbers from Waterbury and other towns. It was a social and financial success. The two policemen who came to keep good order were scarcely needed as every one behaved in an orderly manner. The proceeds, after paying the expenses. will be used to pay the deficiency in the bal ance of the electric light funds. There were between four and five hundred people present. A box of cigars which was canvassed on was won by Dr Hinckley of Waterbury. The com mitte, Rev E. NJ. Skagen.

TWENTY-FOUR O'CLOCK.
Time-ix coping System That Is
 Strongly Urged by the -e Railroads.

According to decree recently issued in Spain the hours will be there counted. after January l, from one to twenty-four each day, beginning at midnight. The government offices, the telegraph, telephone, railroad and steamship lines have been directed to observe the new method. On this con- tinent it may already be seen in the timetables of the Canadian Pacific railroad, says the Youths Companion.
 This change has long been urged in this country. Some years go, when the railroads brought about the pres ent system of standard time," or, as it used to be called ''railroad time,' they desired to iraugurate the 24- hour scheme, too. The change was too radical to be popular, and rather than imperil the success of the other part of the programme, the railroads aban- doned it. Timetables are now usual ly printed with the afternoon hours in heavy type, and morning hours in light, and this device eliminates much confusion.
 If enc had nothing to do but to trav- el by rail and study timetables, the proposed change would be eminently desirable; but for 99 of every 100 acts and appointments outside of those connected with the railroads, there is no confusion arising from the present system. When we read that a lecture is to begin at eight o'clock, no one thinks it is to begin in the morning; and if Mary Minns should write to say that she will drive over at II o'clock, almost anyone would expect to see her in the forenoon, even if she did not add "a. m."
 In astronomical observato the 24-hour system is already in use, ex- cept that in them the day begins at noon instead of midnight.

EXPOSITION NOTES.
Brief Items Relating to Progress of
 the Pan-AIaerican.


 The Chittenango Pottery Company las been granted the exclusive privi- ege of selling pottery at the EXposi- ion.
 Frederick Law Olmstead, who advo- cates the abolishment of billEoards be .ause of their inartiStic and unsightly :haracter, is the landscape architect .Tho laid out Delaware Park, Buffalo, l part of which is to be used for the paH-American Exposition in 1901.
 We have only admiration for the courage, enterprise, liberality and en- ergy displayed by the city at the foot of the lake in preparing for the great EX- position which is to be held next year. if ever success was earned, Buffalo ias earned it. Tue city deserves to be filled with visitors during the life of the Pan-American Exposition and to "eap rich harvest of honor, glory and substantial gains.-Cleveland Leader.
 ''We have never advertised the re- sources of our state half enough" says The Times-Democrat of New Orleans in an article upon the Pan-American Exposition, in which it urges an ade- Juate representation of the resources Ol lIOilStGItt. 4HG SttAIit tllsiS Gt Sd!t of other states. and the opportunity now offered by Buffalo is Of exception aI value.
 The enthusiasm and interest display ed by the people of southern California .n the preparation of their great dis play of products for the Pan-American' Exposition present q lesson and an cx-. ample for all ncitizens to contemplate, American enterprise seems to have a very high development in the glorious climate Of California" The Califor- nians purpose to make q very large and effective display.
 One of the most conspicuous features of the Niagara Falls landscape now is mammoth sign handsomely lettcred thus: 'Pan-American Exposition, Bt:f falo, N. Y.. 1901." There are several similar signboards placed where thou- sands of people passing and repassinG upon the great railroads may in tn.s way have their attention called to the great event of next year which so vii tally interests all the states and coun- tries of tho western hemisphere.

UNFAIR TO BANGOR.
The Revenge of Maine Mnrketmen
 Who Were PreventedJfro ., Shipping Game.

Almost every town in Maine of 1000 or more inha abitants has from one to ten markets where venison is retailed all through the open season. Here in the very heart of the game region, where from 15 to 30 tons of venison pass west every day in the week. no man can buy venison at any price, and men who want the meat of deer must ride far out on the road to Amherst or Ellsworth and run the chance of meeting hunter who is bringing a carcass to market, says the New York Sun.
 The famine came about through a fit of temper of the market etmen, who are angry because the new law will not permit | hem to ship game and game birds out of the state. Previous to 1898 from 100 to 250 cartridges were sent west from Bangor every day. Market men had from ten to twenty gunners constantly in their employ shooting cartridges, sni pc and woodcock for Boston and New York markets, where birds commanded fancy prices. As soon as the law prohibiting the sale ot game birds was enacted, the market men agreed to handle no game of any kind, and the embargo has been rigid ly enforced.
 Last year Fred Johnson, who is the De-monico of Bangor, took out a license to sell venison to such of his customers as wanted desrmeat on their tables at home, but the market men refused to: patronize his place. and did all they could to injure his trade. This year he found that they were doing him more harm than the profits on sales were doing good. and when it came to take out licenses for 1900 he did not ask for a renewal. Meantime Portland, Augusta, Rock land and other Maine cities that have no deer within 50 miles of their limits, are having all the deer meat they can eat and are getting it cheaper than the price asked for beef.

GUARDING AGAINST FIRE.
Every Precnrtion to De Taken nt the
 Pan-America-i Exposition.

There are two fire houses upon the grounds of the Pan-American Exposi- tion at Buffalo, N. Y., which are fully equipped with the apparatus and men necessary to fight any outbreak Of fire upon the grounds.
 In addition to this there are chemical fire extinguishers in all of the build ings. These are of the same type used at the World s fair at Chicago and are attached to the wall on the interior Of the building. A cog on the bearing of the reel releases valve which turns on the water in case of fire. It is only necessary to unreel the hose and thus turn on stream which can be di- rected upon the blaze without mo ment's delay. In this way every pre- caution is to be taken to prevent the occurrence of any fire and consequent destruction of valuable property.

BALLOON ASCENSIONS.
Sensations Experienced by Aeronaut Is at Various HeiEhts-Dengcr-
 GUS Undertakings

Two Frenchmen recently made an ascent in balloonfat Vincennes with a view to reaching the greatest alti- tude that could possibly be obtained. They did not succeed in passing the record, however. During their journey they kept a record of their impress sions and sensa tions at various heights. They first began to eNperi- ence the nauseating effects of the rarefied air. at 1s.2o0 feet, when their temples ached and their visions were blurred. At 0,15O feet, says the Scien- tific American, one of the adventurers was rendered ssosill shat { he Secou Id neither speak nor~ reach his bag ot oxygen and had to be attended by his companion.
 Shortly afterward the latter was somewhat paralyzed and could only move with difficulty. But with the application of oxygen they were re- stored and they were but little incon- venienced. At 21,45O feet they de- scribed the cold as being intense and that their boards were covered with ice. When g, 400 feet was attained they were rendered so helpless and the pain was so great that they could hardly gather sufficient strength to open the valve of the balloon. When they reached the ground they were in a very exhausted condition.
 Dr. Berson ascended some months ago from London to height of 27, 300 feet, while Messrs. Coxweu and Glai- sher ascended to the height of 35,OeO feet, at which altitude one of the trav- elers was rendered unconscious, while the other only just succeeded i1 open ing the valve by pulling the rope with his teeth.
