ing Thursday the county commits
sioners decided to lower the con-
crete foundation for the court house
walls two feet lower in the ground.
That makes two feet more of wall to

for and means an additional out
Law of about ST 100. The steps were
taken after excavating for the foun-
dation had been carried down far
enough to show that the concrete

The annual report Of the State
high school inspector for the fiscal
year ending July 3lst last states
that IA new high schools made their
appearance during the year, most Of
them in the northern portion of the
State. The report gives the. Red
wood Falls nigh scnool an enroll
ment for last year of IS, two of
which number graduated. Nine
teen classes were heard daily, three.
of which we're taught by the super
intendent. The two instructors in
the high school were college gradu
ates, not including the superintend-
ent. The expenditures by the
board during the year for equip
ment was 1910, Of which $l30 went
for appliances for the chemistry de-
partment, $25 for natural science,
$l35 for history and SO for English
literature. Mr.. Alton makes the
following suggestion regarding a.
janitor:: Few appreciate the hard
work and long hours of a faithful,
efficient janitor. He should be a
man of character, one whose inhu-
.ence over the children is kindly and
just, and he should be recognized
by board, superintendent. teachers
and children as an officer of the
school. A janitor who does his
work in the spirit Of a drudge finds
his labor twice as difficult as the.
prompt, efficient man who gets
about with a pride in having his
school rooms ready for use. y

Waterbury Democrat., 1901-06-29

A delightful shirt waist dance was given by Abraham Lincoln camp, $. of ", in Pythian hall last night. Not withstanding the warm weather, large crowd was present and indulged in dancing, of which there were twelve numbers. The fair was a success and credit is due to the committee of ar engagements for the successful manner in which everything fas conducted.
 The assessors office will be open un- til o'clock tonight to give property owners who have not yet complied with the law chance to hand in their lists. The office will also be open Mon da wand all who fail to get around that day will have the ten per cent added to their rate bills. The assessors have worked hard to induce people to call upon them, but for some unknown reason many have not yet shown up. Whats the matter with the taxpayers of Waterbury, anyway? It cannot be possible that they think their rate bills are not large enough and desire to see them increased by the addition of ten per cent more than they would be in if the lists were handed in.
 T. B. Walker presided at a largely attended meeting of the Town Plot school district which was held in the Town Plot school building last even ing. Attorney Porter l.. Wood chair man of the committee appointed to op- pose the consolidation act, made a re- port of what had been done by the committee and also explained explicit ly the amended bill. The laying of a tax was deferred until meeting which will be held next fall. The question of paying the bills incurred by the fight against consolidation did not come before the meeting, as full power, ill this matter had been given at former meeting to a committee composed of Attorney Porter l.. Wood, Emons Chip man and M. c. Germann. Inasmuch as the general town committee has not as yet settled the matter of payment, the committee thought it better not to make any report. The following of ficers were elected for the ensuing year: Committeeman, Hans Ras- mussen; clerk, NJ. c. Germann; treas urer, Newton Hine; tax collector, Charles Tyack.

MISS GOOD SAILING DAY.
Splendid Breeze BLOWS mt New York
While the Big Yachts
Rest.

New York, Oct. IA splendid
breeze from the southwest was blow
ing this morning when the captains
and crews of the cup defender Col
umbia, and the challenger, Shamrock
IL, were reused out of their hunks
soon after daylight. 1t would have
been an ideal day for a race be-
tween these boats. The strength of
the wind was about ten miles an
hour and steady as a clock, and all
are hoping for as fine breeze to-
morrow. On board the Columbia the
cover was taken off the mainsail, and
it was triced up to dry while the
sailmakers went TO work on the clew
of that sail.
At noon one of Lloyd's surveyors
came out from the city and boarded
the Erin for the purpose of making
report on the damage done to that
vessel by the revenue cutter Ores
ham, during Saturdays race.
London, Oct. 1.-"Both antago-
nists are to be congratulated on
proving themselves so worthy of each
other" is the message which Lord
Dufferin, the former governor-gen-
eral of Canada, sends TO America.
This epitomizes the general comment
of the afternoon newspapers here.
They agree that both yachts were
handled with consummate skill and
that nothing remains but to con-
graduate the Columbia and whistle
for a stiff breeze, with which some
people think the Shamrock II. will
have good chance of winning.
Weather Bureau, Washington.
Oct 1.-Off Sandy Hook Tuesday
the weather will be fair with light
to fresh northerly winds in the
morning which will be diminished in
force and become variable in the
afternoon. CARROT, forecast official.

INVESTIGATION BEGUN.
Senate Committee Begins Probing of
Alleged Manila Hemp Conn
bination.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The senate
subeolnmittee of the committee on
military afairs, consisting of Sena-
tors HawIey Chairman; Proctor, Bur-
rows, Cockrell and Harris, at II
O'Clock Monday, began the investiga-
ton of charges against Lieut. Col.
ii. 0. S. Heistand, of the army, in con-
nection with the alleged Manila
hemp combination. The charges. were
preferred by Maj. E. L. Hawkes., for
merly volunteer officer, and were
deemed of sufficient seriousness to
warrant an investigation by the SEN
ate.
Col. Heistand was present Monday
at the opening of the inquiry in com
pany with his attorney, Charles w.
Needham.
The committee decided that the
proceedings should be public, that
course being decided as best for all
concerned
In brief, the charges against Col.
Heistand are that he, in connection
with other officers in the army and
some officials in the civil departments
of the government, attempted to
form combination to control the
output of hemp from the Philippines,
using their official position and in
fluence to further their ends. Maj.
Hawkes. preferred the charges to the
secre airy of war and also 10 the SEN
ate committee on military affairs.
They were denied by those against
whom the allegations were made.
After some consideration the senate
by resolution authorized the investi.
cation which began Monday.

this code to Admiral Schley upon his
arrival, supposing that the admiral
knew about the code.
Admiral Evans stated that while at
Cienfuegos his ship had on the 23d
taken $50 tons of coal from a collier
alongside the Merrimac and had no
difficulty in so doing.
Speaking of the condition Of the
weather made by the Iowa May "A and
25, the witness said that on the even
ing of the gath it was squally; that
on the morning of the 25th the sky
was overcast and that the weather was
again squally; in the afternoon it was
worse, there being a good deal of rain
with long sea.
He said that after leaving Glen
fuegos the vessel had steamed to a
point about 30 miles south of Santiago,
arrived there on the evening of the
Goth, and that at that time the squad
ron was heading to the east. The
weather at that time, he said, was not
such as to prevent the coaling of ships
at that date. The Iowa at that time
had about S25 tons of coal aboard, or
sufficient for steaming 5000 miles.
objection to Printed Statement.
During the examination of Admiral
Evans the judge advocate asked the
witness concerning statement by a
lieutenant of the Spanish navy, printed
by the navy department, to the effect
that at dark the American ships with
drew 10 the southwark, disappearing.
The introduction of this book was OBJ
iected 10 and Admiral Dewey said:
THE witness has already told what
distance was maintained by the fleet.
We don't care for that kind of in
formation. Admiral Evans was there
and can answer for himself. We want
facts; not newspaper articles"
Admiral Evans said that the wealth
er was such that the Iowa could not
have coaled from the Merrimac be-
tween the morning of the 25th and the
goth of May. Admiral Evans said that
the official chart showing the Brook
lyn's loop was wrong.
AT 1855 p. m. the court adjourned I'M

Bieraghi, an Italian, AZ years of age,
who arrived here last Saturday from
Havana on the steamer Esperanza,
under the name of "B. Frank" was

TO CHANGE NAME.
ippines the Name of McKin-
ley Islands.

New York, Oct. IA suggestion
which is meeting with favor is to
change the name of the Philippine is
lands to the Mckinley islands, says
the Washington correspondent of the
Tribune. 1t is intended to bring the
proposition before the next congress.
A part of the scheme embraces the
idea of bestowing upon different is
lands and provinces the names of the
men most prominently identified with
the acquisition and control of the is
lands. For instance, the members of
the American commission which ne
gotiated the Paris treaty would thus
be honored, as well as the names OF
Admiral Dewey, Gen. Lawton, Gov.
Taft, Gen. Otis, Secretary Root and
others

The graphophone is great source
on pleasure to Turkish ladies. For
some years it was strictly forbidden;
now nearly every house is provided
with one, and the ladies sit round
and roar with laughter every night at
its productions. Nearly all are Civ

are rather risque. Often the inmates
of the harenI viii get into a boat

down the Eosphorus, with the graph
