HELLMANN BREWING PLANT. Plans For the Different Departments Will Be Ready for Inspection Soon.

The Hellmann Brewing Co has de- cided that the building of an ice-mak- Ing and cold storage plant will neces- sitate extensive alterations and addi- tions to its beer brewing plant, and Treasurer Richardson is able to an- nonce to-day an outline of the pro- posed changes. These have in view the increase of the company's brewing capacity and output, by at least one half, condition that is considered ample for the needs of Waterbury and surrounding towns for years to come. The amount of increased refrigeration which the ice and cold storage plants will need has made the boiler and en- zine department all too small. A large and well equipped boiler house and coal cellars are now being arranged vaults, taking up the site of the pres will be torn down and the space used present boiler house will be made part of the engine room and here the three handsome ice machines will be To- cated. Directly opposite the brewery but at some distance from the ice making plant, will be built a set of mod Tn stables, carriage and wagon houses, washing and harness rooms, etc.
 The plans for the ice-making and cold storage plants will be ready for inspection on Saturday of this week. The plans for the boiler house, engine room addition. stables and adjuncts are nearly completed.

WILL NOT COMBINE.
The Object Is To Get All Managers To
 Obey the Inter- Commerce Law.

Denver, Col. Jan 3.-Prcsident E. T. Jeffrey of the Denver and Rio Grande who is chairman of the executive otEi- cel'S association meeting four times each year ill New York says there is not particle of truth in the reported gigantic railway combine which is to control all the great lines. He said: Nobody in his sane mind ever thought of attempting to combine all the rail ways into q great organization to con trOl the commerce of the country. The meetings in New York have no such purpose and if railway managers can be brought to q point where they will simply obey the interstate commerce law, the main object of the meetings in New York will be accomplished If the lines will quit rate cutting and sim ply obey the plain lettpr of the law, that is all l would ask and it is quite enough for one organization to accom- plish. Let the railway managers carry out the plain provisions of the inter- state commerce act: let them treat all shippers alike and make charges in rates only after giving public notice as required by law. If this is done there will be no need of combina tfons to try to control the traffic"
 'What would become of the weak lines if the law were obeyed:" he was asl-Cd.
 They would go out of existence" :" was the reply. That is the natural law and l sec no reason why the weak railway lines should be forever up held by those that are able to take care Of themselves. Let the weak lines be absorbed by their more vi@or- ous competitors or let them 90 ont of existence altogether. In either event the public is the "ainer and the busi- ness interest is better off,

its good effects on the training of children

for justice. Mr.. Osborne said while Mr.

public, has yeto poWer on what is done
yet the success of the plan depends on the
exercise of this power as little as possible
and the republic is at times allowed to suf-
fer the evils of pad administration at times
in order that tAe boys. and girls may learn
by experience. There are seventy boys and
thirty-five girls in the George Junior Re
public. and the girls vote just as do the
boys a girl being yife president of the re-
public. He employed ten or twelve of the
graduates of the republic in his own fac

than the average boys employed.

Speaking broadly. therefore," concluded
Mr. Coier. Il may conclude by saying that
the subsidy system of New York city has
been greatly improved by intrusting it's
treatment exclusively to the local authori-
ties, and that while it is still a proper SUI
ject for much criticism and improvement,
there has been enough accomplished al
ready to mark out path upon which the
most substantial and beneficial progress
may be made in the future.

In the borgeoisie class the poverty to be

Notes an Advance.
The sermon at the Church OF the Cove
nant yesterday morning was by Rev Dr.
Washington GLADDEN. of the First Congre-
gational Church of Columbus Ohio. lie
spoke Of the advance in the democratic
principle which had been seen in the nne-
tenth century. Continuing,-he SAID, IN
part:
indiyidualism We recognize the tasks OF
the twentieth century. Inc nineteenth
century has emancipated the individual;
the twentieth century must teach him that
though free he is still under obligation
that individuality is sacred only when lts
powers are consecrated TO the service OF
man We have learned TO StanO alone,
now we must learn to work together. In
dependence must be succeeded by inter-
dependence competition by cooperation.
That is the draft Of the economic ten
dency; that is the problem of social con-
struction- Liberty. when Ii Is made GEN.
trail and dominant in civilization, is dis
integrating force: it is the centrifugal
tendency. The one thing needful now Is
reinforcement of the centripetal tendency
the power that draws men together and
holds them together. The principle OF unity
is what we must search for and find.
