Miss Abbott Entertained Friendly
 League Members Last Night.
 The Friendly league building pre- scented an attractive contrast to the dreariness of the world outside, as a large number of the members gathered in the pleasant assembly room last evening to listen to Miss Mary NJ. Alp bolt while she talked to them of the poet LOngfellow. In q charming way, Miss Abbott spoke of his boyhoOd, his college life, his travels and the life at Cambridge, and reading selec- tions from his poems showed how clearly they reflect his whole beauti- ful life and it's settings, and at the same time give so many SHmpSeS of his character, his love of nature from early childhood; his devotion to home and family, his love for books and for his friends. Miss Abbott read the first published poem, a production that caused the sensitive boy of 14 great pain in hearing it harShly criticised. The evening with Longfellow closed with the reading of Whittier's beauti- ful tribute to him. written on the oc- casion of his 10th birthday, when the children all over the land united in celebrating this last birthday of the aged poet.
 On next Thursday evening Miss Rose K. Butler. Gne of the instructors in domestic science at the league. will give a demonstration talk on Salads and Sandwiches" to which the public Is invited. -

FORECLOSURES OF 1900.
Ehiriy-four Property Owners Involved to the Amount of S4S,S4J.Io.

to the Amount Of 4S,S4o.iO.
 Since January 1 of last year up to date, foreclosures amounting to S4S,- 045.10 were made in this town. This exceeds by some thousands the record for the previous years. Thirty-four property owners were effected, they having been obliged to surrender their property, being unable for one reason and another to pay the interest, and in many cases the taxes also. The rec ords of the district court in this re- spect run thus: January, 1900, four foreclosures amounting to $9.503 40; February, $3,342.20; March, $671 40; April, $14.30; May, S69U.7 73; June, $2, S75.51. During July and August the court was on vacation. September, sS2,444-5I; October, S7.926.1o: Novem- }ber, $7,51O.01; December, S1.323. 64 }January, 1901. up to date, 11,SS3.17; total. S4S.O45.T TO. There is no more lenient court in the state in the mat ter of giving time to pay up and re, tain ones property than the district court of Waterbury. Judge Cowell s knowledge of the people in general and his long acquaintance with the com munity is an excellent aid in forming an idea of the condf1lons envelopine >NO'e "HH pAceS oi plopellS III lHe city that comes before his court to be foreclosed on mortgage. If there is any possibility by which he thinks the mortgage can pay up and retain his property, Judge Cowell never fails tt give him all the reasonable time he may want. Nevertheless. it is per picking that foreclosures amounting tc the above-named sum should be grant ed in year when the country was supposed to be smiling in the lap o1 prosperity.

TAKING PERCEPTION.
A Number of Waterbury People Have
 Been Naccinated

During the past few days quite n humber of people have had themselves vaccinated. It is therefore necessary for person upon hailing another per son to be careful and not catch hold of him by either arm, for he may have just been vaccinated. The cause of so many being vaccinated is the fear of catching the smallpox. which is said to be quite prevalent in many places. Dr Frost, member of the board of health, in an interview said that the greater number of those who have had themselves yaccinated are people who travel to some extent between here and New York and sometimes have business in the intervening towns, especially in Bridgeport, where small poN is said to prevail. Parents, he also said. have their children vaccin- ated at this time of the year more than in any other season. It is volun- 1ary on the part of parents to have their children yaccinated, the supreme court having decided a case ill New Britain where q father insisted that there was no constitutional law which required that he should have his chil- dren vaccinated. The supreme court found that the man was right. Over a million people ill New York have been vaccinated and all through the valley as far as Seymour people are rushing to the doctors. The chances of the disease reaching this city have not yet been figured on.

 Not Well Attended.

Meeting Called For Yesterday Was
 Not Well Attended
 Owing 10 q misunderstanding in re- gard to the date. there was not a large meeting in Hartford yesterday afternoon. called for the purpose of organizing the association of Military Surgeons Of Connecticut. Dr IT. S. Fuller presided and among those present were Major Julian IaPierre of Norwich. C. J. Fox of Wiliimantic. late surgeon general. Post Surgeon F. J. Fox of Wetherstield and pr John B. McCook of Hartford. Owing to the small attendance matters of in tereSt were discussed informally. The committee on badges and seal sub nritted an attractive design. It was i'll the form of a red maltese cross sur mounted by the state coatofarms in white and gold. This was to be suS- pended from gold pin by a ribbon of blue. pr McCook reported in regard to the collie dogs which J. PicrpOnt Morgan has offered to present as a free gift if suitable accommodation are provided for them It is the in- tention to train these dogs for use on battlefields in aiding the wounded. as is done in the German army. Dr Me Cook said he had visited Mir Morgan's kennels on the Hudson river and had there witnessed the wonderful intell gence of the dogs. Suitable kennels, he said. could be provided for six dogs at a cost of S2G5. During the meeting telephone communication was established with General Calcf in Middletown and he said that the money for the kennels would be sub scribed. Dr McCook then said that the kennels could bc located in the f Iii Ia;, e,f, h, the dogs would have plenty of air and good space for exercising.
 At the close of the meeting it was voted to adjourn subject to the call of Chairman Fuller and the secretary. Dr E. IT. Welch of Winsted was re- OueSted to give notice of the date of the next meeting.

PNEUMONIC PLAGUE NOW.
Said to Be More Fatal Than the Blu
 bonic Disease.

New York, Jan 1S.-Physicians here say that the pneumonia plague, which, it is reported, has caused the death of several of the crew of the British steamer Friary, at Hull, England, is usually more fatal than the bubonic, of which it is another form. There is little chance of its getting q hold here, even should case develop. as the eli matic conditions and sanitary arrange. mepts are against it.
 Dr George r. Shrady said: "Pneu- monic plague is only another name for the bubonic. The only difference be- tween the two is that in one the plague spends it's forde in one part of the body and in the other in the lungs The pneumonic plague is usually the more fatal"
 Dr Shrady did not think there was much danger of the plagne spreading In England, as the conditions there are AeAfnst it.: ss~ .s.

BATTALION DRILL LAST NIGHT.
First One of the Season Held at the ArmOry. .

First One of the season Held at the
 Armory.
 The first battalion drill of the sea son was held at the armory last night and both the local companies were out in full force. It was a memorable ocr casion also, for it was the first ap- pearance on the floor of the armory of Captains Fitzpatrick and Garter since that never to be forgotten election i'll New Haven. Many spectators were ; attracted to the drill last night to wit ness the meeting of those two captains and to see how they would conduct themselves. Both were able military men, however, and they conducted themselves as only the good so dler knows how. Diligent inquiry was made around among the militia boys last night and they all deplore the unfor- tunate occurrence and regret the fact that Captain Fitzpatrick was not made a major.
 Another feature of the evening was the fact that it was probably the last battalion drill that Major Geddes will command. He is now leutenant-cc> onel but as he has not yet received his commission he acted last night as major. After the guard mount last night Major Geddes took command of the battalion and put the men through the various evolutions in such a capa- ble manner that at the close both the men and the commanding officer were applauded by the spectators.
 At the guard mount Captain FitZ- patrick was officer of the day and Lieutenant Sandland was adjutant. The supernumeraries were Lieuten- ants Hallinan and Sackett. At the conclusion of the guard mount Captain Fitzpatrick proposed three cheers for the new lientenant-colonel, and they were given with a yell that awoke the echoes down on the Mantle field.

The Mission Services Continue to
 Draw Great Crowds.
 Father Lynch gave the sermon at the mission service at St Francis Navier's church last night "Hell' was his subject and he handled it in a masterly manner Among the diff ferent things cited that lead up to a place in the region of the damned was the abuse of the liquor license and an over-indulgence ill the business of drinking liquor. both by men and wom- en, especially those who cannot afford it. His picture of the half starved wife and children whose husband and father squanders his earnings in the saloon and of the man who pushes out the beer and rakcS in the dimes With never {: thought that his customer is robbing his family of tie actual ne cessitieS of life until the victims cash gives out. and then he hustles him onto the street. regardless of what be- comes of him, was a masterpiece though, perhaps. not one jot better than that in which a enid at the back door of q beer shop. with q pail in his hand, a woman there bent upon get ting drink and the dealer passing it out to both were the central figures. But this was not all. and if the veil could be lifted and the various crimes against God and man that the. rever- end gentleman talked of and which his knowledge of the secrets of mems souls warranted him in stating that he found here, as well as elsewhere. could be seen. there might not be a very large number within the, bearing of the speakers voice prepared to throw the first stone. The discourse was the best delivered since the mis- sion opened and those who missed it lost rare treat The services this evening will be at the usual hour.

 The communication was received and ordered placed on file.
 Some opinions were exchanged re- garding the advisabllity of getting permission from the legislature to en- power the aldermen to designate by ordinance such officials as shall fur nish bonds for the faithful perform ance of his duties. Mayor Kildum thought that every public official handling public funds should be ob- liged to furnish a bond and the board agreed with him. It was voted to recommend to the aldermen that the city attorney be instructed and au- thorZed to secure an amendment to the city charter empowering the alder men to pass an ordinance to meet this case The bonds of the different city officials who are required to furnish the same were read and approved. They were the same as last year. City Clerk Ryan was instructed to procure a safety deposit for valuable papers. The payrolls and q few mis- cellaneous bills were approved.
