SOME FINE DOGS.

SOME FINE DOGS.
 Occasionally one comes across per- son who can manage dogs, even the fercest of them with ease and ma atural- ness, Such man is Dennis Callahan, d genial employe of the New Milford house.. who in the course ofa year buys and sells great many of the noble beasts. People passing up Rail- road street have been attracted by the handsome photographs of groups of dogs exhibited by Photographer Miller. A reproduction of the group is given in THE BEE through the courtesy of Mir Callahan. The central figure is the Great Dane, of high breeding, and the others are fine specimens in their respective classes, The eontrul MT Callahan has over these dogs is shown by the poses he causes them to take. A friend told the writer story of MT Callahan's s success in handling dogs han ; car came & ace9aFS g faFHer who had ada looking customer and the man had be- come afrajd of him: He had a long piece of iron with which he pushed his meat to him. When Callahan visited the place he asked the man what was the matter with the dog, He replied that the dog was ugly and he advised Callahan to leaVa him alone, MT Cal lahan talked to the dog few minutes and then walked up and unclaimed him, WhereupOn the dog expressed his joy by leaptng up and endeavoring to caress him.

WATER CORPORATION.


The great water scheme on the Ko-
hala water shed is one which requires
very careful consideration. The Cover
nor, and the superintendent of Public
Works have given great attention to
the matter and have very wisely re-
ferred the matter to Washington. The
matter is so large and deals with in
terests of so varied a character, that it
should be approached with the very
greatest of caution.
Water comes to us from the skies.
To obtain the initial supply we pay
nothing. The rain falls upon the fields
of the just and of the unjust. Once
having fallen upon the earth it depends
upon the children of men to store it and
to take care of it. So we have the ex-
uberant soil, and it depends upon our
industry whether it shall yield it's in
crease Of ten fold, a hundred fold or a
thousand fold.
The question of putting the whole wa
ter supply of a large area into the
hands of a corporation is one which is
open to considerable discussion. The
subject of water supply has occupied
the British authorities in Egypt, but
the matter is there taken up from a
government point of view. Whatever
benefit accrues from the increased wa
ter supply, goes to the revenues of the
state and not to corporation. A state
ment of this enterprise is thus describ-
1.-THE plan decided upon is to build
an immense dam across the Nile at
Assouan, thereby storing the water,
and to distribute it by means of canals
aid other subsidiary works. The dam
is estimated to cost S1O,OOO,OOO, ana the
canals will increase this amount by
Sc, 900, 900. The total cost of the enter
prise, it is estimated, will reach $2O,-
600, 900. This is a large sum for a small
and impoverished country like Egypt
to spend, but results will justify the
expenditure. Low estimates of the in
come from the investment show the
following results: AS a result of irri-
cation the country will be benefited to
the extent OF $12,00O0OO annually, and
of this amount 81 100000 will come to
the government in the form of increas-
ed taxes and payment for the use of
the water. Thus the money paid out
will be returned within a little more
than eleven years. Nor is this the sole
benefit Lands belonging to the gov
eminent will be reclaimed, and their
sale will bring in $4,000, 600 more Thus
the enterprise recommends itself as a
business investment"
The above quotation should make
every one pause and think. If water
ccba,,a of SOO nm OOO is going to DroVe
a paying investment to the people of
Egypt, might not a $2,OOO,OOO invest
ment in a Kohala water scheme be
paying investment to the Territory of
Hawaii? The subject can bear a good
deal of thought

FREE HOSPITAL NEEDED.

If instead of doing so much political
fighting and so much pulling and haul
ing about this place and that, and this
salary and that, the Legislature had de-
voted itself to some practical reforms
it might have saved some rag of reputa-
ton. That it did not do so is now mat
ter of history and the country is now
suffering in many directions for the
utter lack of foresight, and the complete
blindness to present necessities. One of
these necessities is the establishment
of a free hospital. AS we stand now
there is no place to take an American
citizen to, or the citizens of any other
power unless some one is ready to put
up the money or a guarantee at the
Queens Hospital
There is no city of like number of
inhabitants which has not proper ac-
cOmmodations for any one poor or rich
who is suddenly stricken down by acct
dent, and whittier the unfortunate can
be carried at once, without the con-
sideration as to whether pay will be
forthcoming or not. People who suffer
from accident are taken to the hospital
first, and their friends. if they have any,
are communicated with afterwards.
Such a case as occurred here yester-
day could not occur in a well regulated
city. An old lady fell down stairs in
one of the stores and broke her leg. The
patrol wagon was sent for and then
came up the question of where she
should be taken. She was poor, living
honestly and honorably by the sale of
books and pamphlets She had no
money. She could not be taken to her
modest little room because there was
no one to attend on her, and she had no
money to pay for a nurse. She could
not, being a white woman, be taken into
the Queens Hospital, unless some one
guaranteed the payment of from $3.50
to SO per day There was no use taking |
her down to the police station there to
await developments. Finally the poor
old lady, who belonged to the persua-
sion of the Seventh Day Adventists, |
was taken to the Sanitarium on King |
street, which is conducted by her fellow
religionists and where she will be taken
care of.
But just think of the condition of
affairs here. A person under,th condi- |
tions of this poor woman, is absolutely
without any place to be taken, and the
authorities themselves do not know
where to take her to- The only thing, I
when a solution such as that in the case
of poor Mrs. Healy cannot be reach
ed, is for the chief of police or his de-
puties to pledge their own credit until
some of the charitable societies can be
interested in the case and take it off |
their hands. The amount thus expend- |
ed no one knows anything about. 1t is |
not only the police authorities but
others, especially the consuls who have
to put up considerable money in this |
way, which is never repaid them, but
which comes out of their private funds,
and at times can be i'll afforded.

Frank Monahan of South Main street left this morning for St Bonaventure college, Allegheny, N. Y.
 Mrs c. J. Sawdey of West Main street left town last night to spend week with relatives in Madison coun- ty, New York.
 The article published herein yester- day relative to the electric light con- tract should have read that the coE- tract shall expire in March, l9O3, ln- stead of March, 1902.
 A surprise party was rendered to John Wenzel last night at his home, 70 Clark street, by a number of his friends. It was his seventeenth birthday and the occasion was made a memorable epoch in the history of his life There were piano selections by Agnes Robbins, Margaret Scott and Ethel Wood. Several songs were ren- dered and games played. Refresh ments were served. The party broke up at an early hour this morning. At a meeting of the republican town committee last night it was decided to call meeting of the delegates to the last city convention tomorrow | night for the purpose of considering the best plan of naming a candidate to represent Waterbury at the consti tutional convention. Inasmuch as there are no politics in this question ii would seem that the republicans would come out and say that they are satis- ! fled with MT Guiifoile and have done with it.
 Those who have been driving in Mill Plain lately on the road which leads to Woodtick, have noticed a considera- ble improvement at the Twin bridges, over the Mad river The, two small dilapidated old bridges have been re- moved and now one large bridge is doing service there The several roads leading to the bridge have been GU. down rather little and the roads pre- sent an improved appearance. Much progress is being made on the new bridge which is being erected on the Meriden road near the property of Dr c. Art Ward.

What is a Joke !

What is joke? And how are you to
know one if you see it? asks Charles
Johnston in the February Atlantic. Ny
justification for this wanton malice is.
that l think l have discovered the
charm to lay these haunting presences
to rest; that [ have in some sort dis
covered the true inWardness of humor,
and even been able to draw the shadowy
line dividing it from wit.
Here is story which seems to me to
come close to the heart of the secret.
The scene is laid in the Wild and Wool
ly West. A mustang has been stolen, a
claim jumped, or poker pack found to
contain more right and left bowers than
an Arctic brig; and swift Nemesis has
descended in the form of Manila hemp.
The time has come to break the news to
the family of the deceased. A deputa-
ton goes ahead, and the leader knocks
at the door of the bereaved homestead,
asking, 'Does Widow Smith live here?''
A stout and cheerful person replies,
I'm Mrs. Smith, but amt no widowr'
The deputation answers: ''Bet you a
dollar you are! But you we got the
laugh on us, just the same, for we we
lynched the wrong man?''
The story is irresistible. 1t is as full
OF sardonic fire as anything in all liter
ture, but you would hardly call it humor.
1t seems to me to lie so directly on the
border line that we may use it as land
mark.

Woman's Vote in Kansas Not in Danger.

Last week the newspapers were send
ing broadcast the startling announce
ment that the women of Kansas were
in danger of losing the municipal suf-
frage which they have enjoyed for the
past IA years. Representative B. H.
Butler, who fathered the bill, gave as
his reason for so doing that the woman
vote was the most corrupting influence
in municipal politics. He said: 81 don't
mean that the women are corrupt, but
the manipulation is corrupt, and the
woman vote is easily manipulated.
Therefore, according to his masculine
logic, the women must be disfranchised,
but the corrupt male manipulation could
be left in full sway
1t will be remembered that not long
ago John Charles Thompson of Wyom-
ing made similar statement to the eff
feet that the woman vote was easy to
manipulate, but when he came to ma
nlpulating it he didn't seem to succeed as
he had expected and the result was that
he was returned to the bosom of his
family, having run 700 votes behind his
ticket
While Mr.. Butler may not be in dan
ger of sharing the same fate as MI.
Thompson, inasmuch as the women have
no vote for members of the Legislature
in Kansas, it is evident that the men of
Kansas are not in sympathy with him
as his bill was promptly killed by the
Judiciary committee. and thus the OPP
posers of woman suffrage have been
deprived of valuable aid in retarding
the progress of women. Elnora Mon
