FAVORABLE PROGRESS.
IN THE BUILDING CANVASS OL
 THE YOUNG
Mems Christian Association-S4,75 75o
 Mark Reached.

The remarkable success obtained thus far in the progress of raising the full amount needed for the new building has been the cause of much comment. A friend at the association speaking on the subject says:
 Some have even classed it as mira cle. One thing is certain and that is that the business men of the country and New Haven is no excepton-are believers in the association more and more, and for decided reasons.
 Business men believe in christian enterprise which accomplshes some thing postive-brings things to pass. The "get to Garcia" principle pervades the whole association idea and is car ried out in every department of it's work. The association never whines. She has no cant" or "cant" in her vocabulary. If anything needs to be accomplished which is vital to the best interests of young men and comes within her province, she straightaWay sets about and does 1t. Furthermore, and that which is at the very core of the association idea-she believes in and makes central in all of the departments of work the Man, Jesus Christ The associa tion is not ashamed of Je- sus Christ or the word Christian, and believes that nothing short of aim- ing to make Christed men is worthy the ambition of such an institution as she professes to be. It is for these prin- ciples which she has held to so strenu- ously which has brought to her such renowned success and the respect of all self-respecting men. The promise Of the Master is being most beautifully fulfilled in the New Haven work: Them that honor Me I will honor" 4 The S24, ,750 mark has been reached and it is confidently expected that this will be rapidly whittled down in the next few days and that at the close of next week will witness the achievement of what will be one of the most remark able philanthropic and Christian move ments ever witnessed in New Haven.

Again. if he has learned the handling of a bayonet, his enemy will fear the chance that he may get to close quarters more than if the same enemy knows that he has no skill with the bayonet. Lastly if the soldier happens to be an expert at drill in close formation, he and ten thousand men like him may be able to get through the narrow streets of a great city more quickly and with far less confusion than if it has no prac- tice at moving in close order.-London Spectator.

Next week comes the lively New Milford fair, and with good weather it will be success. The directors of this enterprising fair don't expect to expect to eclipse the Danbury exhibi- tion. The people of New Milford and surrounding towns are quite loyal to their home fair, as they ought to be. This fair is made a sort of social oc- casion and people go quite as much to see their friends as to gaze upon the oxen, the big pumpkins, potatoes, and the luscious apples and pears. Horse men will be especially interested in the speed program provided for this year, and we look fora successful fair all round. Newtown ought to send up good delegation as New Mil. ford people are quite generous patrons of our own Newtown fair.

A VICKSBURd WOODEN CANTEEN

A VlCkSBURG WOODEN CANTEEN. ON EXHIBITION AT 1.-THE BEE" OFFICE.
 Another interesting relic of the siege of Vicksburg we have just had the pleasure of examining. The owner values it, highly. It is wooden can teen. There were quite a number of articles that the people of the South were unable to procure during the war. Tin was the principal one. They were obliged to make their canteens of wood. After the siege, came the surrender. The troops all marched in, and, after all the ceremonies had been gone with, and the Stars and Stripes had been hOiSted at mastheadS on the principal buildings, orders were given to break ranks, and the Union soldiers started on tour of observation of the city. The different sights they beheld were enough to interest them for weeks. Most of the rebel soldiers had wooden canteens. The owner of the one we speak of accOsted one of thei soldiers and asked him if he ''would swap can teen ?' To this he readily agreed, as our canteens were nicely shaped ones, made of tin, and neatly covered with cloth. The rebel, no doubt, thought he had the best of the bargain. In all respects but one, he did. But as far as relic was concerned, he was mo- where with the Union man. That sol dior wO1116 now if alive piVo a pOO0 deal of money to have his canteen back. The present owner that night took his knife and cut into the wood on one side. the following; Captured at Vicksburg, Miss, July 4, 1S63." And on the other side he cut his name and rank: "John H. Austin, Capt. Go. A, 1 2Oth Ills. Vols.' The canteen will be on exhibition at THE BEE office for a few days.

INK. DROPS.

EDITORIAL. INK. DROPS.
 The attempt on the part of certain ambitious politicians to make political capital over the rough condition of the highways will be seen in it's true light when their motives are analysed. The writer has travelled in all the nearby towns and is able to testify that the roads in our township are in no worse condition than in any of the nearby towns, save perhaps Mid dlebury, where they have miles of state roads built largely through the generosity of MT Whittemore of Nau- gatuck, who has beautiful summer home there. The attempt to hold MT Morris responsible for the acts of God to sensible man will appear both ri- diculous and farfetched. Any fair minded man will admit that it has been a season of unparalleled severity upon the highways. The heavy and continued rains of the early spring have been followed by a number of sharp showers which have washed the roads badly everywhere. And the att tempt to use this fact to the discredit of the man who controls the order book will be like waving club in the air which will finally strike the man
 who is swinging it resounding whack. There is no use of mincing matters, MT Morris was elected to his present position, not because he was a republican, but simply and plainly be- cause the taxpayers had become thor oughly sick and disgusted with an ad- ministration which had been outrage ously extravagant, and which has left
 us with the frightful legacy of S44, : GOO debt. To the credit of the present
 H1scf col c1, l> r.,i1
 he has been unrelenting in his efforts
 to keep the public expenses down, and
 has stood over against the treasury
 with club which has not been stuff
 ed. To prove this statement it may
 be stated the expenses last year were
 about S27, ,OOO and this year less than
 Sl9, 900 with the same tax. So far as
 town government is concerned what
 fair-minded man cares whether the
 first selectman be a democrat or re- publican? The writer voted with as much pleasure for William Homer Hubbell, a democrat, as he did for Levi c. Morris, a republican,. MT Hubbell checked the move of extrava- gant expenditure, and MT Morris has been up against the same proposition.
 What we want in our "mayor's chair"
 is an honest, incorruptible man, man who will not be controlled by gang of political wire pullers. And in men like Messrs Hubbell and Morris we find them. We are satisfied that the bulk of the voters will not be led astray by any pleasing sophistries or promise of ''pap from the public crib, J but apprecia ting the towns financial condition will rally to the support of a man who had been hon est and vigor- ous in maintaining the public credit.

every citizen to lend hand in prOmOt- ing this happy result.

The premium list for the 32d annual
 Danbury fair has been laid upon our desk, from the press of the Danbury News. It comes in jaunty covers of red, and as the Danbury fair 'sis rather hot stuff," all things considered, the color is very appropriate. The book is a model of'typhographical neatness. Judging by what the esteemed Dan- bury News says, which is just a trife puffed up with the bombastic Dan bury spirit, the great and only fair of 1901 will be record-breaker.
 Among the new agricultural fairs that are to be held this fall is the one given at Waterbury on Tuesday, We'd nesday, Thursday and Friday, Septem- Der IT, IS, 19 and 20, at the Waterbury Driving Co.'S Park. This fair counts among it officers such we'll known Waterbury citizens as o. G. Camp, president; Dr Thomas Bland, vice president, Thomas H. Hayes, treasurer; N. H. Heater, secretary. The pro- gram offered by the officials is varied and attractive and there is no reason why big crowd should not be in at tendance. The first day is cattle day and very liberal premiums are offered; also many special prizes. The second day is horse day and also draft cattle; there will also be trot in the 2.29 class. This fair has issued a neat 5O- page premium list telling you all about the premiums and special prizes, and if you are interested send to Secretary N. w. Heater for one.
