WATERVILLE DAILY TALK

St PauI's Parish society will hold a handkerchief bazaar on Thursday evening, September 26. Don't forget to send handkerchief.
 Louis Gates received the nomination last evening on the second ward ticket for aldermen and the republicans ap- pear satisfied. That Gates captufed the nomination last evening surprised none of the local republican followers. They confidently expected such a result and although pleased that their plans had not miscarried. manifested hardly the usual amount of interest in the out come.
 This is a time of great things-of plans, undertakings and achievements. Matters Of small or feeble import fail to rivet attention or maintain interest. Perhaps what the democrats in this section have up their sleeve would cause more talk than all that has been executed so far. Louis Gates is superintendent in the factory of the Welch Hosiery company, well connect ed with the downtown ring of re- publicans and in the real push of his party. And yet what would be the re- suit if the democrats put John D. Chat field against him? Do the democrats think the coast clear ahead with Chat field on the ticket? That is the ques- ton and many are of the opinion that Chatfield can hold his own among any of the candidates. Both Gates and Chatfield are members of the town board of education.

ONE MACHINE GUN.
Properly Worked Is Equal in Effect to Two Hundred Rifles We'll
 Handled.

The destructive power of the ma chine gun as compared to the small arm even in large numbers has been the subject of interesting trials abroad, reports of which have reached the navy department here, says the Baltimore Sun.
 That one machine gun properly and effectively worked Is equal to 200 rifles in the hands of as many soldiers has been amply demonstrated. Each shot from the machine gun works greater injury also to the body struck than the small bullet of tke army rife, and it's range is far greater.
 In recent trials 50 marksmen were chosen to compete with the Hotch- kiss eight-millimeter gun, which has lately been widely adopted in France and Germany. The ranges fired were from 400 to 500 yards. At 500 yards the 50 rifiemen, each having five rounds in- dependently, obtained 54 hits, or 22.6 per cent of the number of rounds fired. Thirty-two men were then chosen from among the 50, and these had to fire each eight rounds in 30 seconds. Under these conditions 34, or 13.3 per cent. of the rounds ex- pended, were recorded.
 The machine gun was then brought into action, and in 3s seconds fired 211 bullets, making 145 hits. 1t was shown from the results that the ma chine gun was far ahead in hits made and rapidity of fire. No such practical tests of the relative merits of the ma chine gun and a number of small arms have been made before.

CHOIR IN UNION CHURCH RE
 sUMEs IT'S OLD PLACE.

After Many Weeks of Absence The
 Organist Has Resigned The Melrose
 Property.
 The choir of the Union church will sing ill it's accustomed place next Sun- day for the first time in many weeks. This announcement is important in the fact that it means great deal to the church. The attendance has fallen off ill an alarming manner and the church is in arrears financially. 1t is hoped through diplomacy and good judgment that the choir will be induced to re main permanently. Miss Barrett, the organist. has resigned. owing to her inability to attend rehearsals.
 The Rev F. W. Fletcher has ex- changed with q Naugatuck clergyman for next Sunday.
 Mr and Mrs Thomas Sanford are now residing in Beacon Falls.

 Miss Nellie Murphy has been making q brief visit with her sister i'll Hart ford.
 George Alderman who lives on the former Patrick Murphy place has start ed into the poultry business and has several hundred fowls.
 The Melrose real estate boom which caused such stir iii local real estate circles has evidently quieted down. Not a single house has been erected there nor are there any indications apparent of new buildings to be constructed. The bone of contention appears to be entirely in relation to grade cross ing which Joel Fl. Davis first started across the railroad tracks near the cut. If people could approach the Melrose property by way of the private grade crossing there would be no hesitation in buying but there is no possible chance of obtaining a regular grade crossing at this point. Besides this it would be most dangerous point to cross a team. The proprietors of this tract of land can obviate this difficulty regarding access by means of road way on Davis street coming out near the Charles Judd place.

DR. CALDAs NOT DISCOURAGED
The Scientist Returns to Brazil to Continue His Search for Yellow
 Fever Serum

Dr. Caldas, the Brazilian physician whose serum for the prevention of yell low fever failed to satisfy the United States military surgeons in Cuba, has returned to Brazil to continue his ex- periments.
 Dr. Caldas talked to reporter be- fore he sailed and said:
 My yellow fever tests are by no means over. Against the report of failure in Cuba place the long record of our experiments in Mexico and Bra. gil, not only my own, but those of Dr. Be1linzagile, who treated 50 cases, with a successful result in 43.
 Tt is not my belief that what hap pened in Cuba could be called failure of the serum. Three people were a1- lowed to be bitten by mosquitoes that had preyed upon yellow fever pa- tients; these three died. Then the same mosquito was applied to man who had been treated with my serum, and when he fell i'll the gentlemen said it was yellow fever.
 .'That is not my diagnosis; I believe that had an,autopsy been performed on the fatal cases due to this same insect it would have shown that they died of blood poisoning, not of the yellow fe- yer, and that is what ailed the patient who was treated with the serum and then exposed to the infected insect,' Blood poisoning from a mosquito bite, you say?"
 Certainly.
 T have been working on the yellow fever serum and vaccine for eight years and should be able to speak with some authority on the subject.
 "The world will yet recognize that am right in this matter.a

viously to his establishment of the Buffalo News he worked as an active newspaper man in New York and Pennsylvania. For seven years he made the Sunday News a success. Then he launched out into the daily field and founded the evening paper which he now owns and which has since grown into one of the most inn portant journals in the state. For many years he has been an influential member of the republican party. In 1896 he was presidential elector, and again in 1900, and he was presiding officer of the electoral college on the assembling of that body. He has never held a political office, nor has he ever sought one, but it is under stood he would not object if called to represent New York i'll the senate.

MCCLEARY AT BUFFALO
Visits the Pan American Expo.
sitiOn.
Had a Pleasant Trip Abroad and Wss
Much Interested in Both Exposition
and Matters at Home.

Buffalo, N. Y. Sept. 6.-James T.
McCleary, second district congressman
from Minnesota, paid the Pan-Ameri
can exposition a brief visit this week,
arriving Monday. Mr.. McCleary has
just returned from an extended visit
to Europe, having left home in June
and travelled in ten foreign countries.
On the Pan-American Mr.. McCleary
had nothing but praise to bestow, and
as to Minnesota's share in it, he was
enthusiastic. With the congressman
were his family, and all seemed de-
lighted with the exposition. Mr.. Nc
Cleary's stay will be of but a few
days duration, when he expects to re-
turn home. Personally he has not
looked better in years and seems a
little stouter than when he left for the
European trip. All of the party en-
joyed the best of health while away.
Much has transpired in Minnesota
since Mr.. McCleary left, and he seem
ed greatly shocked over R. G. Evans
sudden death and somewhat interested
in the announcement that Mike BOWL
ing had filed declaration of his in
tention to run for congress with the
secretary of state. The point which
particularly interested him was
whether the earliest filer of declara-
tion was to have his name appear first
on the primary ticket or not.

SUPERB PAGRANTRY.

1t is said that the free street parade
of the Adam Forepaugh and Sells
Brothers Goth Century Colossus is this
year the most gorgeous spectacle that
has ever been seen on the streets of
American cities 1t contains not only
all the usual elements of great circus
parade, but it has also many unique
features, among which are many open
dens of wild beasts that are drawn
through the streets by other than do
nestle animals. 1t must be remem-
bered, however. that the street parade
is the smallest feature of these shows
that they do not follow the example
Of nearly all the other tented shows of
giving the biggest part OF their exhibit
tion on the streets with the view to
leading the public into believing that
the interior of their shows correspond
with the street display. AS matter
of fact their parade is really the finest
ever seen and the shows are infinitely
greater on the inside. They will be
here on Saturday, Sept. ID.

A BICYCLE THIEF.
70 anded Up Thursday Night and Pleads
Guilty.

Guilty.
A stranger giving the name OF Will
lis E. Clark and Apple River, Polk
county, Wis, as his home, was arrest
ed Thursday night by Chief Bowen in a
shack three miles down the Minnesota
river in Nicollet county, where he
has been cutting corn for a week or
two for Mankato parties Mr.. Bowen
intended to arrest Clark and a COM
panion on suspicion of being parties
wanted up north for serious offense,
as the description furnished of them
tailed with those of the parties want
ed. They demonstrated to the chief
that they were not the parties, but
Mr.. Bowen blindly charged Clark with
having stolen bicycle. Clark finally
admitted that he stole one, and it
turned out that he was the man who
stole b. 81. Born's wheel last Saturday
night and left it near red painted
house north of the city on the st. Peter
road. When found, the wheel had one
tire punctured.
Mr.. Born swore out warrant
charging Clark with petit larceny, and
he pleaded guilty and was fined $40 or
twenty days in Jail. His companion
went out to try to raise the money.
Chief Bowen did not know that
Clark had stolen wheel or anything
else when he made the accusation, but
that he was crooked.
Clark claimed that he was drunk and
did not intend to steal the bicycle.
