Strike Situation the Chief Topic in
 This Town.
 The strike situation is the chief topic of discussion among all classes of peo- pie in this place. AS every one knows, the strike has not affected the local factories and they are running as they were before the strike commenced. Those machinists in the employ of the American Pin Go who joined the union and then left it at the suggestion of Secretary George Driggs of the Pin Go, are being censured by everybody for their action. It is not a case of union and non-union, but the question, Why did they not stay in the union once they had joined it? They knew what union was before they went in. They ought not to let a man change their opinions by his words. They may have had good reasons for resign ing from the union, but the majority of the people do not think so and are disgusted with. their action.
 The annual June meeting of the New Haven county health board will be held in Carter's hall on June 6. After the business portion of the meeting is over the members will inspect the crematory owned by H. M. Rigney. It is expected that about sixty-fve mem bers and friends from other health boards throughout the state will be present.

the district leaders is State Senator Timothy D. Sullivan, known as Dry Dollar" Sullivan. He controls the Sixth district, in the East side of New York, the largest in number of inhab- itants and the mos. thoroughly organ ized in the city. It is said that Sulli- van gives away from SEQ ,0O0 to $50 ,OO0 2 year, and that his public patronage amounts to fully $2oO,o year.
 Twenty-nine of the district leaders hold public offices with salaries rang ing from $1 800 to S9,000 year. In ad- dition to the private work done by it's leaders on their own account, Tam many Hall disburses an enormous amount of patronage annually ly-reach- ing, it is said on good authority, not less than $4O,oO0,000.
 But where Tammany shows it's great strength is keeping in personal touch with every one of it's members. The name of every voter is known to it's of ficers. Every time a tenement house dweller moves it is known to the or- ganization. Strange as it may seem, the very relatives of man are known.
 
 are made the subjects of study. All this is the work of the captains of the election districts. If he cannot per form it satisfactorily, his place is soon filled by a competent man. These pri- vate details of the voters life help to whip him into line if he becomes re- fractory. One would be surprised to know the odd methods that are some times employed to gain votes. The vast municipal machinery controlled by Pammany forces many men in business to bring their employees into k line. Any man who has vessel inter- ests or shipping interests knows what force the dock department is. And so it is in nearly all business which the city can control or regulate.
 But compulsion is not the only method that Tammany resorts to. The captain of the election district
Waterbury Democrat., 1901-05-21

Greater New York Democracy, will unite with the republicans in a su- preme effort to wrest from Tammany the city government.
 For 100 years Tammany Hall has stood together, gaining strength and power. At times it has met defeat, but never before has it been so threatened from without and with in as it is in the coming struggle. It is a crisis that must result in vic tory, or the downfall of the ancient institution may follow. In the fights of former years Tammany has been arrayed against an outside foe. It has been battle of the ballots. In the coming contest there are enemies within it's own ranks. It is this that causes fear to the leaders and gives the anti-Tammany organizations hope.
 Without question Tammany Hall is the strongest and most perfectly or ganized association in the world Whether man be a republican or a democrat, he cannot but admire the system that has made possible the holding together of such vast body of voting men who are trained with the discipline of an army to do with out question the bidding of their leaders
 Leaving aside altogether the polit- ical points at issue, a glance at this perfectly-working machine will prove an interesting study to one who app preciates system, order and discipline.
 The last election returns showed there were 1sO, ,O00 democratic voters in the old city of New York, compris- ing the boroughs of the Bronx and Manhattan When it is said that out of this number Tammany Hall con trols absolutely 10000 it will be seen that the new fusion organization must map out for itself long and hard campaign. When we consider that this vast army is under the di- rection of one man we can under stand the power possessed by Rich ard Croker, the supreme head of Tammany Hall. Croker holds no pub lie office. His only position in the organization is chairman of the finance committee, yet he is as thor oughly recognized as chief as if he wore a robe and crown and sat upon throne in the old headquarters in East Fourteenth street, instead of modestly taking his place behind the tfme-honored fable known as John Kelly's desk. But by wave of the

 hand Richard Croker can cast those 10000 votes with as much certainty as he can deposit his own ballot in the box on election day. Within a few hours every one of these voters can be reached personally without the aid of printers ink. Any one of the Tammany leaders can on short notice fill the biggest hall in New York, and every one of the voters who is not disabled physically is ready to turn out in parade, no mat ter what the state of the weather may be-
 How was this wonderful discipline brought about and how it is main tained?
 The Tammany general committee is composed of about 14.OO0 members, who are elected from the districts in New York county. There are 35 of these political divisions, called assem- blv districts. One member of the gen eral committee is selected from each district to serve on the executive com rnittee, and is known as the district leader. The assembly district takes the place of the ward in some cities. It is divided into election districts, whichin other places are known as pre- eincts. Each election district has a captain It is his business to get votes Over him is the district leader, who is responsible to the chief for the conduct of his territory.
 Richard Croker began his political rise as the captain of an election dis trict- Next in command to Croker is John F. Carroll He, too, was captain of district. When the chief is not in the city Carroll occupies the desk at Tammany hall. All but two of the 35 district leaders have been election pre- Binet captains. The most powerful pS

GERTRUDE ELIZABETH scULLY
Death of One of Waterbury's Bright
 Young Girls.


 Gertrude Elizabeth Scully, aged 19 years, daughter of the late John J and Mary Scully, died at 9 o'clock last night at the family residence, 20 Wash ington street, after an illness of about half year. Miss Scully was grad uate of the Waterbury High school, class of '9S and of the state normal school at New Britain. She finished at the latter place last Thanksgiving and was substituting in the public schools of this city when she was taken sick and although everything that med ical aid could do was resorted to in order to save her, still all proved un- availing. During her illness she was full of hope and never even hinted that she suspected death was lurking in her footsteps until last night when the Rev Father FitZsimmonS reminded her that the end was not far off. She was perfectly reconciled and after hearing the news advised her oldest sister, who has been in constant attend ance upon her since Christmas, to take a short rest, adding, probably I may not go tonight" An hour or so later all was over. She leaves three sisters, the Misses Minnie, Nellie and Gene vieve. She was a bright, smart girl, and was held in the highest esteem by all who had the pleasure of her ac- quaintance The funeral will take place Thursday morning at S:3O o'clock with mass of requiem at St Francis Xayier's church and interment in St Joseph's cemetery.

INDIANS IN REVOLT.
They Want Their Sun Dance or They
 Will Make Trouble.

Denver, Col, May 21.-A special to the News from Lander. Wyoming, re ports an Indian outbreak iminent on the Shoshone reservation. Six hun dred Arapahoes have defied the author ity of the agent, Captain Nickerson, who has refused them permission to hold their annual sun dance and denied them passes. Trouble has been brew ing for some time from other causes such as the late orders giving them ra- tions twice a months instead of week ly as heretofore, and the failure of the government to issue seed grain for sowing.
 Captain Niekerson has applied to the Indian department for United States trops to maintain his authority and is fearful q clash will occur at any mo- ment. The Shoshones have not yet joined in the revolt.

 New York, May 21.-The fifty Ser vian gypsies who were detained on Ellis Island as likely to become public charges, will sail to-day for Bremen on the steamship Lahn. ' In spite of the fact that the gypsies had about $5, ,000 and were bound for Canada, the immigration officials decided that they could not land.
 One of the objections to admitting them is their fiIthiness. The silver spangles on their clothing cannot hide the grime, and their habits are dis gusting.
