FOR TIE LOSS OF IN EYE
Matthew Colwell Asks $1O,OOO
 Damages From the City.

|
 The Case to be Tried To-Day in the Superior Court-In the Byrnes Case Yesterday Afternoon the Jury
 Awarded the Plaintiff S40O, Without
 Interest-$1 200 Was Asked For. Late yesterday afternoon the jury i'll the case. of Peter Byrne's appeal from probate rendered verdict for the plaintiff to recover S40O damages with out interest Byrne asked for S1,200. They were out an hour and d half. In charging the jury Judge Wheeler said that the plaintiff was evidently one of that class. that is accustomed to give their pay envelopes, if they receive their pay in envelopes, to their wives, q thing, he said, which was highly commendable
 There is still in bank awaiting dis tribution about S3,000 The greater part of the savings of Peter Byrne and his wife were deposited in bank i'll the latter's name. For six years subsequent to their marriage Mrs Byrne continued working in the watch factory. They were of the old stock of Irish that is now gradually dying out. In them the accumulative sense appears to il;rye been well developed. as their bank books showed. Some years before her death Mrs Byrne llal her husbands name placed with her own upon one of the books. She died on January s, 1894.
 The case of Matthew Colwell against the city of Waterbury was taken up next. This case is an echo of the old stone crusher which the city had en- ployed in Cheshire some years ago crushing stone for local macadamizing. John Hurley was boss of the stone crusher and the plaintiff was employed feeding it with stone. It is claimed by the plaintiff that for some days before the accident occurred to him inc crusher threw the crushed stone out sideways on account of a tooth missing ill gear wheel One of the stones struck Colwell in the right eye. causing the total loss of it's use He claims S5;000.

He said he would De q very foolish man if he could not remember the names of those by whom lie was employed be- fore he went to work at the stone crusher, but yet he could not recall the necessary names.
 John Hurley was called to show that the city at the time of the acci- dent was not engaged in governmental work. He testified that besides break ing stone for the city streets. he was ordered to get ready some for the Bronson library and a contractor. The defense tried to show that the stone was for either the Bronson library or the contractor. but the witness was certain he was ordered to get some ready for both. The defense then tried to show That the library was owned by the city, but Mir Hurfay could not say who owned it. He could probably guess, but guessing was not allowed

First. that he proposes to write it all himself, instead of as signing to the members of his cabinet those portions dealing with their re spective departments; and, secondly, that he is going to send it to congress in typewritten form, it having been the custom heretofore to typewrite it and then have it transcribed with pen. The manuscript copy was then sent to congress, which body immediately turned it over to the government print CT, who set it up and furnished, with in an almost incredibly short time, printed copies to the house and sen- ate It is understood, too, that the president will recommend the estab- Ifshment of department of commerce and industry.

 The dressers have been built to fit wall space and are convenient as well as attractive, fitted with glass parti- tions and doors No dark corners for the collection of dust and the de- velopment of bacteria. The lockers for students caps, sleeves and aprons are arranged in compartments, each locker numbered, and those for each class under separate doors The laun- dry trays and sink are of Alberine stone, in one piece, thus avoiding the unhygienic crevices
 There will be charts illustrating the different cuts of meat. others showing the chemical composition of the differ ent foods, and bottles containing dis played analyses of several typical foods.
 Aside from the general attractive ness of the room. a source of genuine satisfaction is the fact that every thing is perfect from a sanitary point of view, and not a spot but that can be reached with brush and water
 This is but a suggestion of what will be complete equipment for the teaching of domestic science, and Wa terbury may be justly proud of this addition to it's educational interests.

Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island was in Washington recently and had a long conference with the president. It will be remembered that this is the gentle man who last year gave notice to Pres ident Mckinley that the senate would ratify no more reciprocity treaties and would permit no reduction of the Ding ley tariff schedules. What he said to President Roosevelt is not known. though it is presumed that he defined the senate,s position along similar lines. Representative Hopkins of H. linois was also at the White House, and he says that he is utterly opposed to any change of tariff schedules or any reduction of internal revenue; that the country has too many expenses to warrant any such measures He cites the proposed Isthmian canal, az. extensive river and harbor bill and other expenses that will have to be provided for. Mir Hopkins proposes to do his share towards the dissipation of the surplus by the establishment of a permanent census bureau. That 2 permanent census bureau might be maintained without any increase Of cost and with, perhaps. an increase or efficiency, is not denied, but Represen- tative Hopkins's bill will not do so- His bill provides for salary of $7,500 for the director. ex-Governor W. l.. Merriam. an assistant director at $I,- 900 per annum, and numerous other po- sitions with salaries varying from S2.- 800 to $1 200. Undoubtedly with the present republican majority in con- gress there will be no trouble taking care of the surplus.

SCHOOL OF HoUsEKEEP1NG.
Addition to Building of Young Wo-
 mems Friendly League.

Work is being rapidly pushed on the addition to Friendly League building and in less than two months it is ex- pected that the new department will be completed In the meantime it may not be amiss to give brief out line of the arrangement and equip ment of model school kitchen, as this is what the Friendly League is providing, the plan of one of the labor atories at Drexel institute, Philadel- phia, having been closely followed. A third story has been added to the brick building of the Friendly League and the entire floor has been given to the department of domestic science, and has been divided into laboratory, dining room and bed room, the two latter to be used for demonstration in teaching the waitress course.
 The laboratory. thirty-three by for ty-one and one-half, by eleven feet, provides generously for air space per pupil, and is lighted by nine windows on three sides of the room. These are furnished with. travelling shades, thus admitting of perfect ventilation and light. For the evening classes both gas and electricity are available. The rooms will be heated by steam as ill other parts of the building The wood work is finished in natural color The maple floor deserves particular notice, for besides being .'deadened'' it is what is technically termed floating,
 The students desks are arranged in the elongated horseshoe" ten on each side, the space for .eacl pupil being two and one-half feet. and each desk is furnished with an individual gas stove: and the shelves contain q com plete equipment of cooking utensils, all in small sizes.
 The advantage of the individual method of instruction is that each has the practice of preparing the food to be cooked and is personally responsi- ble from beginning to end. For the larger amounts of cookery, also for baking, a gas range is provided and two separate ovens. These are partic- ularly valuable, since the gas may be
