 Services at Grave.

Services at Grave.
 The funeral of Michael Wallace was largely attended this morning from the family residence on River street to St. Francis Xayier's church, where mass of requiem was celebrated by the Rev. Father Curtin, who also paid a fitting tribute to the splendid character of the deceased, dwelling particularly upon his literary attainments, love of native land and unwavering devotion to the church in which he was born and reared. Fa- ther Curtin referred to Mir. Wallace's Knowledge of the Latin and other tongues and his ability to discuss with the priests of the church the history Of the institu- ton in the language of it's founder and those who represent him to-day. He said he was profoundly religious man and that there was great deal in his ll1e which the youth of to-day might emulate with profit to themselves and their neighbors. He considered him typical in the highest sense of class of irishmen that is fast thinning out and said that their real worth never would De fully appreciated until the Last one of them had been called away. rather Curtin was filled with emotion Whlle he was speaking and a glance | at the faces of the congregation show cd that each one present felt like paraphrasing the words of another emit nent Irishman, John Boyle O'Reilly. and exclaiming:

ABOUT THOSE TURNoUTs.
Trolley Company Paid $2,ooo for One
 Turnout on Former Occasion.

IufnOut on Former Occasion
 Mayor KildGff and the board of pub- l1c works and board of aldermen are inspecting the Wigwam reservoir to- day. Before leaving the mayor talked with a representative of this paper regarding the rumor that an under standing had been reached between the trolley company and the city whereby the difference over the cost of turnouts was to be adjusted on pay ment of $1,000 for each turnout in stead of 5000. The mayor denied that he had any. Knowledge of such an arrangement and added: T wish to state that the trolley com pany paid the entire expense of paving along the line of it's turnout on North Main street, between Hill and North streets, from curb to curb, and did it voluntarily. This cost them $2,000 and imposing condition for each of the other two turnouts the city thought it could not be considered hardship to fix the price at what the company had agreed to pay for the other of it's own volition. I hope those who consider the condition inn posed by the city will take this matter into consideration before passing an Oplnlon On the question. They paid $2,000 for one of their own free will and now they object to paying a cent for the others and have taken the mat ter into the courts'
 Tn answer to a question as to how the trolley service in Waterbury com pared with that he mad noticed in other cities, his honor said ''that no city tue size of Waterbury that lie had any knowledge of had such poor trolley I service. Why" he continued" if cities out west had to contend with such an imposition as is forced upon us here there would be a riot. A fifteen minute schedule in one of the most progressive cities ip the coun. tryn'
 Mayor Kilduff was stirred up over this matter and no doubt would have said great deal moro if it hadn't been SO near train time.

PAVING SEEN ABROAD.
Wood Paving Was What Attracted
 John O'Neilrs Attention.


 The city government should extend an invitation to John O'Neill to attend joint session of all the boards some evening and give a short talk regard ing road making in Europe. Mr. O'NeiH picked up good deal relative to municipal matter during his trip abroad, but probably nothing interest ed him more than the system of road making in France. Most of the prin- cipal streets are paved with wood and in places where other material had been put down, such as granite di- mension blocks. vitrified bricks, sheet and block asphalt, it is being torn up and thrown ill the dump. The wood pavement is made of two tiers of blocks, each about six inches high and Mir. O'Neill says it makes the handsom- est road bed he ever witnessed. When 1t has been decided that public neces sity and convenience require that a stret be paved with this kind of ma terial q bed of cement is laid This is covered by q cushion of sand Then the first tier of wood is 1aid each piece standing on end. The payers use a long, thin strip of wood which they place between the rows and remove when they get to the end, thus leaving space of quarter of an inch or SC between the blocks. After patch of the street has been treated i'll this manner men come along with cement mixed with other ingredients until it resembles cream and pour this over the blocks. Then they rub it in with brushes and keep at 1t until every space between the blocks is filled with this composition. Then another cushion of sand Is ap- piled and the second tier of wood is put down and the process of filling the l spaces with cement is gone over again l just as i'll the case of the first one. The next move is to give it coat of fine, I dry sand. Then it is closed for a few days, after which it is swept clean and
 opened to public travel and is good for
 at least ten years without any expense to the municipality except the cost of sweeping now and then. At the end
 of ten or twelve years the top tier is removed and sold to dealers, who con vert it into paper and another is put I down instead. MT. O'Neill says that a l dump cart rolls over street construct I ed of this kind of material without a | jolt and that he thinks it the neatest \ and most desirable road that has come under his notice. T sat for hours.'' said Mr. O'Neill," looking at the work men putting down the wood blocks and was amazed at the rapidity with which | they handled them. Talk about q lather handling nails, cobb1er driving pegs or pigeon picking up wheat but none of them is in it at the busi- ness with one of these pavers.''

A GOOD FILTERING MEDIUM.
chamOis Skin Found Useful for Clarifca-
ton Of Thick Liquids.

Leather, even when soft, does not
present itself to the mind as a partic-
ularly good fltering medium indeed,
it might seem just the reverse; so one
must commend Mr.. w. G., Strattonfo for
noting his experience with it in the
Chemist and Druggist. The so-called
chamois skin is there recommended
as an excellent medium for the clari-
fcation Of thick liquids. Theleatber
is to be well rinsed in cold water, he
says, and after being wrung to express
the excess Of moisture it should be
affixed to the top Of the funnel so as
not to hang down very deeply Small
clothesline pegs are useful for this
purpose. Immediately after use, the
channels should be well washed and
carefully dried. The same piece may
thus be kept servieeable for a large
number Of iiltrations.
