MEETING IN THE FOURTH.
Politicians Very Active Looking Up
 Candidates.


 A strong element of the fourth ward democracy held a meeting last night in a vacant store on South Main street, near Jewelry street, belonging to MT Lawlor. and discussed plans for the great battle which will pc fought at the primaries in the near future There appeared to be very marked difference of opinion between some of those present regarding the best available material for aldermen, one crowd favoring John Brophy, Ste phen O'Brien and James Fl. Murray, while others would prefer such men as MichaelHartnett, Jeremiah Devine and one or two other well-known resi- dents of that district. There is noth- ing special to be alleged against the public records of the present repre- sentatiyes of the ward in the alder manic chamber, still it was plain that change was desired, and the wise heads thought that they might want their united strength to oust the men already in office and counseled clos ing up the ranks, lest the differences should lead to a division with the result that they wouldn't be in it in a contest at the primaries. But this kind of logic did not meet the approv- al of all, and the present indications point to a split in the ranks which will give us three tickets at the pri- maries. That's not too many. There will be room for the whole of them and more, too, and as all the men mentioned are good citizens the ward and the public generally may rest as- sured that the fourth will send credit able representatives to the city gov xxyaf wins. While nothing has been heard from Aldermen Mahaney, Morris and Boylan. thus far, yet it seems to be generally understood that they will be in the race for reelection, and without any intention whatever of taking sides on this question it is nothing more than common justice to them to state that their record for the past two years is good, so that what ever argument may be offered in sup port of change no one can say with any degree of fairness that they have not made first-class public officials. But this is no reason why the people might not desire a change or that men who seek to step into the shoes of those who are there are exceeding their rights. The race is open to all whom any number of electors see fit to enter, and in case any new candi- dates should receive the nomination the present incumbents will step aside leaving a pretty high mark for their successors. Bring on your candi- dates, new and old; all have rights in common with each other. and when the people decide whom they prefer at the primaries let that be the end Of it. After the primaries all should come together and present an unbrok- en front to the opposition. To be a good politician man wants to know how to take defeat gracefully as well as exult over victory, for if he follows the business he Is apt to have taste of both.

FENN AND CoLLETT.
The Two Fastest Men in This Country
 Will Be Here Labor Day.

Lovers of good bicycle racing will be pleased to know that they will be albe to see two of the fastest men in the business here on Labor day in the afternoon, when the Warwick Wheel club will give races at. the Atil- letfc field. It was not untiKthis after- noon that the management secured tue signatures of w. s. Fenn and George H. Collett. for a five mile match acc for the biggest money ever given 10 any riders in this state. They have held out for~some pretty stiff money and the management finally consented to give up. There will not be any money in the race for the Warwick Wheel club, but there will be some of the best bicycle racing ever seen in this city. Fem and Collett are not the best of friends and they will be pitted against each other for five mile race, and it should be corker from the start to the finish. Another race that is creating much interest is that of Mike Sullivan and M, Fitzpatrick, who are matched for purse of $1O for d five mile race.

cABANNA AGAIN IN TROUBLE
Threatens Law on Lathers Union

Threatens Law on Lathers Union
 Cannot Find a Lawyer, However.
 A father named Cabanna, presuma- bly Arthur Cabanna, has been looking for law against the Lathers union. For some time there has been trouble between this man and the union, IT which he claims to be victim. once or twice his grievances have been heard in the city court. His latest cause for alleged complaint arose ln this manner, according to the story ne told the lawyers he complained to: He was engaged on house occupied ny Dr William Delaney in Naugatuck, when the Lathers' union got after him. Contractor German, formerly repre- sentative for the Rubber town, was doing the work. He had no idea there was trouble between Cabanna and the union. Dr Delaney, who is also a unionist, had no idea but that Cabannh was a union man, at least that he was friendly with the labor unions. Both were greatly surprised, however, when the fathers business agent informed them that the man was not friend of organized labor, and in the inter- ests of that body the business agent considered it would be prudent for them to discharge the man. This was immediately done, and then CabaTna went forth for the scalp of the-union.
 The difficulty between the union and Cabanna has been of long standing. Cabanna was union man. but he fell into arrears financially and was event ually cast out. His days have not been happy i'll the land since then. He is willing to rejoin the union, it is said, but the union will not have him until he pays up his arrears. and this, it seems, he is not willing to do. So far his efforts to get lawyer to take his case has not been successful, and to look for one.

AN ARMY SCANDAL.
Officers Said to Have Stolen Formula
 for Thorite.

Washington. Aug 30.-It is whisper ed in army circles that big scandal is likely to follow the report, just made by the board of ordnance and Notifications, rejecting thorite,- the high explosive which has been under test by the experts for several months. The report made by the board has been received by Secretary Root. and 1t Is said he will approve the recon meldatfons made in it.
 Should he do so, 1t will probably bring about an investigation by con- gress of the methods of the ordnance bureau, as 1t is charged that ordnance officers have obtained the secret of the thorite compound. and have had 1t brought to the attention of the war department in another form and under different name.
 The question of procuring an ex- plosive for use by the army has been before the war department for several years Last summer experiments with thorite seemed to indicate that it would be acceptable to the govern ment- At the last session of congress an appropriation was obtained of $1OO.O0O. half of which was for the purchase of the Isham shell and the other half for the purchase of the se- cret of manufacture of thorite
 As yet neither the Isham shell nor thorite has been purchased. and it now looks as if they will not be. The board of ordnance and Notifications, according to Secretary Root. has rec commended tath the Isham shell shall not be purchased. and also has pre- scented an adverse report on tohrite They suggest. however that Dr Tut tie. the inventor of thorite, be com pensated for his trouble in bringing the explosive to the attention of the war department and for his outlay in the tests by the government. Secre- tary Root may approve these recom- mendatiOns any day.
 notwithstanding the charge con- corning the theft of the secret of thor ite, which have not yet reached the secretary of war officially, it is known that both the chief of the ordnance bureau and Secretary Root are greatly impressed with anotehr explosive known as maximite, and Secretary Root has authorized General Bufing- ton of the ordnance bureau to pur- cahse 5000 pounds of maximite for use by the army. This purcahse is for experiment in general use. and it is the opinion of officers of the ordnance bureau taht it will give much better results than thorite.
 It is said that the rejection of thor fte by the board is the result of re ceiving several reports recently by the war department from the Philippines, where thorite ahs been in use by the artillery. Just what these reports show has not been made public
 The importance of obtaining a sat isfactory explosive is fully recognized in the war department. Waht is want ed is an explosive of immense power. but safe to handle. It is said taht both thorite and maximite are safe to handle.

THAT TUITION FEE.
~outlander" Strikes Right Out at
 Member of the Board"

@Outlander' Strikes Right Out at
 Member of the Board"
 Waterbury, Conn, Aug g, 1901. To the Editor of the Democrat:
 Dear Sir:-Your paper of this date prints an article from "A Member of the Board" quoting consolidation law from section 13. lines 5 to 14. Why does he stop right in the middle of a sentence at comma. at the end or line 14, why not be fair and finish the sentence as continued on line 19 as follows, Provided, that not more than thirty dollars shall be paid for each scholar attending such school from any of said several school districts" Now. MT Member. section 13, lines 5 to 14, any blind man can understand those are all right. but what are you going to do with line 19. 20, 21, why do you steer clear of them? Was 1t intended that lines 19. 20, 21, should be wiped of the board the same as lines 15, 16. IT and IS? If so. why was it not done? Had those lines skipped the eye of the member: they seem to be very clearly worded and for a pur- pose. it seems to me that they contain the meat of the whole business. Will the member kindly explain the mean ing of those three lines. the balance of his unfinished quotation? Thanking the Member" for his kindly interest, also for the suggestion from him that this increase of tuition fee can be made effective commencing with the Janu- ary term instead of this September term I think it would be very prop CT thing to do inasmuch as those peo- pie who will have this bill to pay, have had no official notice whatever of the fact, from the board of education so far as I know. and it looks now as though 1t was not intended that they should know anything about 1t. until the bills are presented to them in the school rooms. I have this week been told of some half dozen High school pupils in one part of the town who will be'kept out of this September term if they have got to pay this double fee, for they simply cannot pay it.
