SURPRISE,

According to the best grammarians, means wonder suddenly excited. 10 take unawares, to astonish. Well, U goes without saying that we received surprise on December IT. 1901, when we were notified to get out of the store 1n thirty days, which we have occup1ed ever since the building was erected; Ill fact we were in it two months before 1t was finished Therefore, when We received the .kicked out'' notice we certainly did wonder what was up; We positively were taken unawares ana for astonishment, we will leave that for the reader of this sad to decide whether he or she would get into that predicament. But we didn't get even a little bit excited; no; we Wens straightaway and secured another store right across the street, walcn Is far superior to the one we were kicked out of: moreover, we reel sure that we will receive good treat ment. the kind all tenants who pay their rent should receive. Well, we are not the only pebbles on the beach to receive 8 surprise. We undefstane. that at least one of the four eyicted tenants is going to give our open hearted landlord quite | surprise we venture to bet S1 100000 against z cent postage stamp that Brother Cut Ter the harness dealer, will see that our landlord will wear the harness that fits best.

 Speedwell hall was filled to the dors last night with a very large crowd. The attraction was the ball. quet and reception given by the meni- bers of the St Joseph T.

 The Aid association of the em- ployes of the clock factory on North Elm street has again been made de- fendant in suit for damages for all legged refusal to pay just benefits. The plaintiff i'll this ease is Michael Me Laughiin of Ansonia, who claims to
 have been formerly q member of the association. He claims that of $65 due him for sick benefits only $15 were paid him. The papers ill the suit were served by Sheriff Rametti | to-day. The case is returnable be- fore Justice Emil E. Zander of An sonia the latter part of the month. Mclaughlin asks $100 damages. Tn common with some of the Hart 1 ford national banks. the Waterbury banks have reduced their dividend rate to shareholders owing to the di-
 rect payment of the l per cent tax on the stock. The Waterbury National
 bank, the Fourth National bank and
 the Citizens National bank have all declared semi-annual dividends which
 are less by 1 per cent than those of 1 last year. The only one of the four
 banks to pay the usual dividend is the
 Manufacturers National, and it has
 not been decided whether the same
 course will be pursued in the future

ACCUSES OLD DOCK BOARD.
EXPERT ACCOUNTANT SAYS 1T LET
CONTRACTS FOR S425,OOO WITH
OUT ADVERTISING
OUT ADVERTISING

The Sinking Fund Commission yesterday met
and heard a report from Charles A Hervey. eS-
pert accountant of the Finance Department. re-
garding the Dock Departments methods of let
ting contracts prior to January l. 1902. The
report charges the old department with author
izing work for over S425.0O0 not yet finished.
without letting dollar of it by public adver-
tisement. The report, in part. is follows:
AT the outset 1 find condition existing
which would appear to call for your immediate
attention in connection with the disbursement
of public moneys. namely, that there are now
outstanding orders of the former treasurer OF
the Dock Commission to the amount of $780,
2OO 50 for the purchase of supplies and the per-
formance of work authorized by the former
Commissioners of Docks and Ferries. where the
work has not yet been completed. and the sup
plies either wholly partially undelivered, not
a dollar of which is represented by contract
let after public advertisement.
1t appears that the Dock Commission. through
out at least the four years and apparently LOT
many years previously. freely exercised It's au-
nous quantities of supplies without the formallty
nation that hundreds OF thousands of dollars
of these so-called treasurer's orders were issued
amounts issued during the year 1901 with the
result, previously noted of leaving behind near
While these said treasurer's orders as issued by
of contract, II would that work has been
done upon these as II such the case The work
of the Morris & Cummings Dredging Company
may be taken as example The records of the De-
partment of Finance show that the Morris & Cum
mings Dredging Company paid for dredging
during 1901. treasurer's orders s23394l 80. and
that additional claim of s15,2I4 So Is awaiting
payment. Besides this, the OF sl3,S15 90 in
claims, awaiting audit. also is for work done by
this concern.
informed that ,he Morris & Cummings
Dredging Company is proceeding with work. and
that the Department of Finance will. from time to
time. be called upon to audit and pay bills for the
same.
In view of the fact that the issuing of such
treasurer's orders for amounts in excess of $1,000
appears to be prohibited under the provisions OF
the Greater New-YOrk charter. as amended by
Chapter 1866 of the Laws of 1901 and in view Of the
fact that said treasurer's orders issued previous
to January /. 1902 may not have the character and
effect of contracts under the provisions of the
amended charter. / would respectfully suggest
that the facts in connection with the be sub
mitted to the Corporation Counsel for his advice.
The Controller offered resolution that the
report be referred to the Corporation Counsel
for advice to whether the contracts not yet
fulfilled could be declared void. This was ap-
proved.

JEROME GRUBER'.S MARK.

The annual dinner of the Thirteen Club was
held last night at Hecker's. Fifth-ave. and
Twenty-second-st. The dinner was held on the
thirteenth of the month, the diners were thirteen
in number and there were thirteen tables Over
the head of each table was an open umbrella of

small skull holding lighted candle. the candles

Il forced by comparison to think OF the late
Justice McAdam. who, without any knowledge
CT poolrooms and the like, arose to high posi-
ton There some superstitons in politics.
There Is for instance, a superstition that an
official should mind everybodys business but
his own Then there is the Sunday opening
superstition, that the beginning and the end of
the reform administration is the giving of
larger opportunities to the workingman to get
more booze on Sunday.
''There is also the moral enforcement super
stiton. that during the same twenty-four hours
II can be Sunday at the front door and Monday
at the side door. Then there is the superstition
that college men are indispensable to good gov
ernment While a college education is much
TO be desired. there are others, and there are
college men who don't know enough TO be
gentlemen when they think they can advance
their own political fortunes by being something
else And there is the superstition that no
gratitude is due TO the political organizations
from the men they elect to office. Those that
are afflicted In this way are seemingly oblivious
of the fact that Election Day comes once

THE difference between Carnegie and Justice

Seals on the other two screws seemed to be in

AT the Manhattan Hotel last night E. b.
Patch manager OF the hotel. expressed surprise
at the report given out by the Water Depart
ment that any irreguarity had been found in
the water meters which measure the quantities
used by the hotel He said that he had received
no information either formally or informally
that there any suspicion of such a thing
until asked about il by reporters
TO my knowledge. no water inspectors, other
than those performing the routine work of
reading the meters, have been in the building" :"
he said. If any OF the meters have been taken
away, any parts of them, il has been with
out my knowledge. About their having been
tampered with, you may say that, to my knowl-
edge. or that Of Hawk & Wetherbee the pro-
prietors, such thing has been done and If
4 had a a 70 on
responsibility il would have met with Hawk
& WetherbeeS most emphatic disapproval Any
one who knows that firm would not suspect
for a moment that they would be parties to any
such petty scheme as fixing water meters"
The manager said that the chief engineer
might know of recent Investigations of the
water meters in the hotel by the department,
that he understood that d number of mechanics
had been at work in the Easements. but he did
not know whether they had been doing any
thing with the water apparatus.
When asked if 1t true that the water bills
Of the hotel had fallen off recently, Mr.. Patch
said that If that the IL was easily
accounted for: owing to the fact that the new
part of the hotel building opened only
Gently the regulation of the water supply in
that portion had caused decrease in the total
consumption. He said that at first IN a new
building more water would be used than
really necessary until the apparatus regu-
lated.
"In house of this size" Mr. Patch said "the
water consumption, like everything else, is
way business is running. We are going full

MORE WATER FOR BROOKLYN.
REPEAL OF BURR LAW WOULD ALLOW

Albany. Feb 13 (SpeciaD.-A bill to repeal the
popularity known as the Burr law. which
prohibits Brooklyn from going into Suffolk
County for water. was introduced in the Assem-
bly, this morning by Assemblyman John Hill
Morgan. OF Kings County. The bill has the in
dorsement of j. Hampden Dougherty the Water
Commissioner of New-York. who saws that
unless the Burr law is repealed Brooklyn will
be confronted with a water famine within two
years.
The measure will encounter opposition II is
expected from the members from Nassau and
Suffolk counties who take the ground that such
drainage of their water will dry up their
wells and oyster beds Should its enactment
he too strongly opposed ii is said that compro-
mise will be effected. guaranteeing to the peo-
pie of Suffolk that only surplus water shall be
used. and that this drainage on their lands shall
continue only for the next eight ten years.
until a permanent water supply shall be OBJ
