 The annual display of needlework i painting and drawing at the Convent de Notre Dame is open to the public to-day. tomorrow and Sunday. The work combines beauty and usefulness from the elementary to the most ad vanced art needlework. Painstaking effort is to be noted and not a few of the art students show decided talent.
 The Ney property, so-called, on Bald win street, now owned by John O'Neill
 is being surveyed and in a short time the property will be improved and put 4 on the market. The owner may build few houses there and rent them for a time, but it is thought that the de- mand for the lots will be such that others will do the building. It is a very desirable residence site, almost beside the church and school, not over five minutes walk from the trolley line and convenient to all the principal fac tories in the city.
 The TeamSterS' union will hold meeting Sunday afternoon when it is | portance will be acted upon. Already one teamster claims to have been discharged because he belongs to the union and if this can be proved we may have trouble right away. Some of the bosses are very much annoyed over the idea of their men joining the union, but others appear to have talk en no notice of it. The unions are with us and they have come to stay so that people who have no use for them might just as we'll try and make the best hand they can of conditions that may not suit their notion.
 Probably it cannot be avoided, but viewed from the road it looks as if some of the teamsters engaged in cart ing dirt out of the cellars on Bank street load their horses too heavy and then give them too much of the whip trying to force the animals LID the steep inclines leading out of the cellars In some instances the men who do the shoveling do a little pushing. but this does not amount to much, so that when the horses are overloaded they have to do all the pulling and take considera ble 1 abuse besides. If the union brings l about better treatment for horses than | and which is still in vogue. then the organization will be great benefit to man and beast.
 1 Town Clerk Brett was asked to-day l if people who own unlicensed dogs would run any risk in letting the ami malls at large now. Whats that" demanded the clerk. The question was repeated and then the man who keeps | %,.o H. Nf Ia md n replied that the constable was still on the lookout for dog tax dodgers and that the watch would be kept up. This means that folks who have
 not registered their canines should | keep a sharp lookout for a low sized, l stockily built man who appears to have a knack of finding out where dogs are kept contrary to law. AL ready he has unearthed several more dogs than some people thought belong ed in Waterbury and he is not through yet.
 Norah Reardon was in the city court to-day before Judge Burpee charged with vagrancy. She was sentenced to l thirty days in the Brookside home. A young fellow named Edward Leary, I IS years of age. was charged with in- 1 toxication and breach of the peace. 1 Had it not been that he was let go by l the chief of police two weeks ago Leary would have been discharged. It seems Leary is on his first spree and is | having hard time with it. It ap-
 peared to have been bothering him
 greatly this morning about 200 o'clock for William Balfe of Hayden street I found him running like a madman against fences and doors on East Main | street. He was fined s and costs. Hugh Gallagher was fined $7 and costs for stealing two leather bags l from John G. Cutters store on East
 Main street yesterday.
 The youngsters are beginning to celebrate the Fourth of July rather early this year. Children who have no idea of the damage these innocent looking weapons are capable of doing to themselves and others are about the streets and in the lots discharging shots out of different sorts of shooting irons with a recklessneSs which causes mach uneasiness to people who know the danger of such pastime. Parents
 who allow their boys to amuse them selves in this manner are doing 8 great wrong and the authorities should take some steps to put a stop to the business This apology that the boy didn't know it was loaded or that the | iniury he inflicted upon himself or
