CHANGED HIS MIND.
Was an Antfexpansionist Until He
 Went to the Philippines.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Jan. 16.--Dr. A. l.. Hazlett, member of the committee appointed by President Mckinley to investigate the moral con ditfons in the Philippines who nas just arrived from Manila, said in all interview:
 ;'T went there an antiexpansionist and came back firmly believing that we should hold the islands and do what we can for them"
 Dr. Hazlett made an exhaustive study of the morality question and con cluded that the morals of the country are much better than is generally be- lieved. The American government, he says, Is doing everything in its power to suppress vice and maintain high moral standard, and he thinks 1t is succeeding.
 He says there will be antipathy for Americans for at least two genera lions.

Forty-three Perished In Mine.

BREUX, Austria, Jan. 16.--The water in the Jupiter mine, which was sudden ly flooded Jan. 14, when the escape of forty-three men, including the manager of the mine and two superintendents, was cut off, does not subside. and hope of saving the men has been abandoned. The disaster was the result of the over- flowing of the river Bila near the mine, and precautions to prevent the flooding of the mine were taken too late. One engineer was saved. Subsequently, nine men courageously went second time into the mine and never returned. Ihirty-one or the victims were mar ried.

TELEPHONE IMPROVEMENTS.
Southern New England Go Putting
 Money In It's Plant.

Money in It's Plant.
 With the dividends sent out this week by the Southern, New England Telephone Go goes Il notice of the an nual meeting to be held In New Haven on January 2S. At this meeting tue proposition to increase the capital stock of the company from $3,O00, 000 to $5,000O00 will be formally acte,i upon the right to make the increase having been obtained from the legis. lature last winter. The directors havn been making preparations for the in- crease and have already announced the sale of new stock to the amount of $250,00O to stockholders at par. The increased capitalization will be used by the company In improving its plant and substituting the most mod l ern devices for the betterment of the service, in some instances supplantlng expensive equipment with more mod ern appliances. There is now being installed at the central office in Hart ford an electric light switchboard similar to one already placed in the Waterbury office, which will do away l with the necessity of ringing bell to call up central. The improvements Of the system come with the growth of l the telephone business in the state The year that has just ended was the biggest the telephone company has had in many years so far as increased busi- ness is concerned. On January l, 1901. there were 15,27S telephone stations in the state. During the past year there were placed 3.613 new telephone sta l tions, and deducting 1927 that were removed, It is shown that on January 1, last, there were 17,564 telephone sta tions or instruments being operated as part of the Southern New England sys. l tenn.

DEFENDS TOWN PLOT SCHOOL
Committee Takes Exception to Re

Committee Takes Exception to Re-
 marks by School Official.
 To the Editor of the Democrat
 Dear Sir:-I have just noticed the re- ported speech of one of the members of our newly elected board of education, which, if his speech contained the ut terances reported by your representa- tive, certainly reveals a lack in that member not at all In keeping with The dignity of his office or of worthiness for the high place given him as a member of that honorable board and if his diagnosis of cases in the prac- tice of his profession is based on as careless reading of facts and as neagre a field of information as he seems satisfied to formulate his opin- ions upon, then there appears no great reason why he should not speedily rise to the highest splendor of profes- sional oblivion and give us a ready de monstration of how man can succeed when he does not know how.
 It appears to the writer as if the member was actuated by some utter for purpose not compliant with his duties as conserving the educational interests of those whose franchise placed him in office, when he tso far oversteps the restraints of gentlemanly decorum and common courtesy by ra- ferring to any part of our city's re- gently acquired territory as .blot on our escutcheon." It certainly stands in order that the gentleman show why one part of our educational territory is so blessed with mal-ad- ministration that it deserves to be lauded to the skies on the dark side of the hill.
 Does the gentleman really know anything about either the educational needs, conditions or progress of either of the communities he described so eloquently or opprobriously or IS it only another case of the ancient writer's description of an educated numbskull when he said: "Lo. the mountain was i'll birth bangs and brought forth mouse?" which, when translated into usable English, would mean that when a professedly intelli- gent man talks through his hat he declares himself simply well-devel- oped wind-bag.
 When q man ignorantly maligns an other or others it may excite our pity for it reveals the absence of mental or moral balance or both; but when man deliberately ignores facts for the purpose of malignment, 1t re ceives the just rebuke of all right thinking men, because such work be longs to minions of the knavish. Does the gentleman wish to be classified With either of these!
 We accept the statement that he Is college bred; does he wish us to con cllde by blundering statements such as the one quoted from him by your reporter that while he went through college the college failed to go through him. and therefore he has not brought away from his "alma mater' either polish courtesy or mental acumer enough to fully appreciate or discharge the duties of public office ill even 2 courteous and gentlemanly mannerf For the information of the gentle man 1t remains an undisputed fac1 that our Town Plot school to-day is second to none of the city schools l further 1t is our aim in the future tt set such an example ill discipline ant education as to be envied instead o1 l slurred.

The growth of the residential district
at the north end of the town has been
nothing short of marvellous. Three
months ago North street was the
boundary of the town in that section.
Beyond it was a barren stretch of
fields, fringed in the distance by woods.
Today this field has been neatly cut
into streets and is covered with frame
dwelling houses, one, two and three
stories high. The houses have sprung
up like mushrooms and were rented at
good figures before the foundations
were laid.
All branches of business have par
ticipated in the prosperity. Although
two new banks were organized recent

Il wonder said the bachelor who
lives in apartments especially designed
for his class and who always dimes out,
why man or q woman or both or
even a family that lives away up town
has no provision made for dining well
and respectfully at modest prices. From
Twenty-third street northward up as
far as Forty-second or even Fiftieth
street the table d'hote fiourishes in its
extremes of forbidding greasiness and
cleanly, toothsome excellence, with or
chestra accompaniment. and in between
these there are many places where the
company. the surroundings and the fare
are not positively repulsive.
But when you get above Fifty
ninth street, am speaking of the west
side more particularly-the table d'hote
drops out of evidence. All along
through that section bordered by the
park and the river there are lots of
places where one may eat, to be sure.
Swagger hotels are there and not a
few most excellent restaurants-but
both with bills of fare on which the
prices range up pretty closely to those
at "Del's' or Sherry's. When you get
away from those two classes, you get
down into bar-rooms with feed-shop
attachments, oyster saloons. cheap
meal places and quick lunches. The
man who wants to dine respectfully
and modestly isn't in the game up
there. One must either dine expensive
ly, or else go down town where 20
cents or 81 will buy a fairly good din
ner. with very presentable persons as
vis-a-vis.
81 wonder that some enterprising
Frenchman-with a chef who knows
how to get four good courses out of
an onion, two potatoes and n pound of
prime beef-doesn't put in a table
d'note somewhere within half a mile

Tribune, Enquirer and Times Star, on
these election guesses, be returned to
the senders, alleging that these schemes
are lotteries, and are In violation ol
