long hours and are doing good service. Commissioner Lahey spoke i'll favor of more permanent men in the fire de- partment. In support of his position he cited a case that occurred not long ago when the Scoyill street house an sWered q. call from brooklyn WlIh no- body aboard put the driver. The board thought Inls coulu De ayolued Dy noI aIIowlng 50 many men to go to their meals aG the same t1me; stni they felt that 1t mIgnt De Wen to make proyis- ion for d lew new men and put the number at three. about half of what the board desired.

 The sum of $41, 300 was agreed upon for the completion of the Mulcahy school, leaving out the third floor. MT McEvoy wanted to know if the board could not get along without the second floor for the present. The mayor said he didn't think so. MT McEvoy then inquired if there were any likelihood of a parochial school m that district. MT Goss said he thought not, and add ed that the parish would be doing well for some time if it succeeded in erect ing church and rectory. The sum of $1.S00 was appropriated for grading and fence at the Walsh school. The item, furniture and supplies, was cut $100 making it $2700. The proposed changes in the heating apparatus at the Bank street school and the com pletion of certain rooms at the Russell school and purchase of additional land at the Driggs building were laid aside.
 The item 'Iaw'' was reduced from S7,000 to $6,OO0. MT McEvov said he thought it was not right to have such a large amount of money standing there in anticipation of suits. When the motion was put MT McEvov and Mir Russell voted for it and Messrs Lord and Goss opposed it, MT, Wells not voting. On the second trial MT Wells voted to use the pruning knife. The aldermen will attend to that later.

Pay DRy and Charity.

The collection globes of the various aid societies are pretty reliable in dex to the public paydays. Most firms pay their employees oh Friday or Sat- urday, hence on Saturday and Mon day the high-water mark of these vol untary contributions is reached. Mon day having been adopted by some con cerns as good day to discharge their liabilities, Tuesday naturally brings forth a smaller crop of charitably in clined folks. who then. pour in their mite. On Wednesday and Thursday only small sums are contributed, and Friday is the sIinest day of all. Week after week and month after month this system of nuctuation is pursued without variation, which proves that when New Workers are flush they are anxious to share their prosperity even with the charity globes N x.

Kelly a Much wanted Man.

' ST. LOUIS, Nov 29. - Charles F. Kelly, former speaker of the city coun- ell, known as the house of delegates, was the one most wanted of all the members of the coterie known as the combine indicted on charges of brib- cry in connection with the passag ge of the municipal ligh1ing bill Kelly was wanted because he was charged with handling the $47,500 bribe money which, according to evidence, had been distributed among the nineteen mem- bers of the 'tcombine.' It was believed that Kelly could tell where this money came from. He was indicted on Sept. B. He was at the four courts when the indictment was returned against him. A deputy sheriff told him he was want
 ed. Kelly asked permission to go to the council chamber to attend to an important matter, saying, If you need me before get back, telephone me at the house of delegates" That was the last time he was seen by any officers of the law until his arrest in Philadel- phia. A reward of $500 from the state had been offered for Kelly's arrest.

 Haley has been for years a con- firnred ''dope fiend." He was sem tenced about two weeks ago to the jail for 30 days on the charge of va grancy. For two days of his confine- ment Haley stood the separation from his beloved drug with stolid indiffer- ence. Then the awful cravings came over him with rush and he cried like child for the usual number of shots.

STATUS OF m7s. ASHTON.
Pensioner the Widow of Three Vet

erans and Wife of a Fourth.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Commis- sioner of Pensions Ware recently con cluded an investigation made to de termine the pensionable status of Mrs. Ashton of New Albany, Ind, who is the widow of three Union veterans and the wife of fourth, and has de cided to await the outcome of Mrs. Ashton's most recent matrimonial ven lure before taking any action.
 Upon the death of her first husband Mrs. Ashton applied for a pension and got it. When she married the second time, the pension stopped, but upon the death of her second husband she se- cured two pension allowances from the bureau. Then she married another vet eran, and both pensions ceased. Upon the death of the third husband Mrs. Ashton promptly applied for three pen sions, which staggered the officials of the bureau. While the case was under consideration Mrs. Ashton grew tired of a life of single blessedness and again selected Union veteran for a life partner. He is still alive, and the question of how many pensions Mrs. Ashton is entitled to will await fur ther developments.

There are more than 2o,ooo,ooo acres of the finest arabic land in the world in Manitoba, says Winnipeg dis patch. There are perhaps 2o,ooo, 900 acres more. of prairie grass, which needs little or no cultivation to feed cattle on.

GIRLS, BASKET BALL TEAM.
High School Girls Went to Unionyille
 and Won a Game.

eNAAh tfsO11 q
 The Waterbury High school girls basket ball team played in UnionYille yesterday and won a most interesting game of basket ball by the score of ; to Z. As the score indicates it was 9 great game. The Waterbury young ladies played q much better game than they did last season. They showed the result of much practice The game was fast and somewhat rough at times A few side combs flew in the air and now and then a girls hand became en- tangled with her opponents hair. Sey- eral times the young ladies enjoyed a slide along the floor and now and then they came together with bump and crash. But no bones were broken and the players are all right with the ex1- ceptlon of a few bruises. The mem bers of the local team refuse to dis cuss their victory. They are very mod est. Waterbury High school athletic teams are so used to victories that they don't make any hullabaloo when they win. Miss Bessie Burton played a star game, as did all the members of the Waterbury team. Miss Burton scored all the points for her team, cag1ng goal from the field and one on foul. The spectators were de- lighted with the playing of Miss Gus sic Siviter. The lineup of the High school team was as follows: Center. Miss Bernice Burton: guards, Miss Katherine Glynn (captainl Miss Strain. Miss Gussie Siviter; forwards. Miss Bessie Burton. Miss Valentine; substi- tute, Miss Madeline O'Connor.

The board of finance met last night md got the estimates in shape for the ldermen. Mayor Kilduff presided and ll the members were present. The re ult shows that unless the aldermen ome to the rescue, which is very IOubtfuI, Waterbury will have the highest rate of taxation it ever paid iext year. This justifies the predic- ion made when the assessors started ut to list property ct its full value, if taxation would be greater under a Iun valuation than at one-third, sim ply because it would not appear so ligh until people received their bills. For example, Che tax rate on the list if 1902 will be less than 15 mills on he dollar, but when it is remembered hat this is on full valuation list it will be seen that we are face to face with a 45 mill tax, mills above that If last year. A fair share of this ad- Iitional burden is due to the effort made to strengthen the efficiency of the ire department regardless of cost. In he opinion of many rate payers much 1aS been done in this direction which he situation did not demand. the end n view being to secure special insur- lnce rates for large corporations rather han make provision for contingencies hat might arise in the future, such as occurred here last February and which night never again occur in Water Iry. A fire house is being built in Brooklyn against the expressed wish of most of the large property owners in hat part of the town, but few of whom could see why such a vast mount of money should be expended where there was no apparent need of he outlay. and now movement is on loot to put another in the north end There is a big demand for public inn prOvements in all sections and especial v on the outside. where many have ound it to their advantage to build handsome residences. and think the eity should follow them with water mains. electric lights, sidewalks. sew ITS. police and fire protection. It. is doubtful if the city can afford to do his without swamping property own ITS inside the old city line. Nobody has any business to question a mans tight to live in the rural districts. but
 
 every rate payer should feel in duty bound to protest against the inrurring If expenses to deve1op the forming sectfons of the city while large tracts ,f land are still available on the in tide.
 Very few changes were made in the Astimates as recommended by the board of public safety Commission ITS Lahey Reeves. Beach and Chief Egan were present and explained the needs of the fire and police depart nents. the chief confining his rnmarls 10 short talk relative to the desirabil- ty of making provision to purchase a patrol waonn.

Aid of Strikers.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 29.-It was officially announced at the nation al headquarters of the mine workers that when the miners meet in national convention here in January to prepare a new wage scale Secretary Wilson will report that the amount of money given by them for the strike was more than $2,00OO00
 The convention here last January changed the constitution of the organ ization so that the officers are elected by the referendum plan. The locals make the nominations, and every mem- Der has a vote on the candidates.
 A list of the nominations has been received, but Secretary Wilson was not prepared to give it out. It is not likely that President Mitchell. Secretary Will son or Vice President Lewis will have any serious opposition. although it has been rumored for some time that w. D. Ryan, secretary of the Illinois min CTS. and J. F. Reese president of the Iowa miners, might be brought out for MT. Lewis place.
 It was also officially announced that the assessment of miners for the strike ceased Nov. 15.

 The oven of large range was inn rsediately converted into an incubator and the little girls grandmother took SSarge of them. By constant watch ing the heat was kept uniform. The infants were kept in a basket in the <-ven for three weeks and are now in a healthy condition.

dent Between Two Fires.
 HAVANA, Nov. 29.-At a special meeting of the cabinet presided over by President Palma it was unanimous ly decided to accept the resignation of Secretary of Government Tamayo Secretary of Instruction Yero assum- ing the duties of the vacant post until new secretary has been appointed. The fact that President Palma did not request Tamayo to reco1 .er his res ignation was not expeci y the Ma tionalist party, which has hitherto been in the front of Cuban politics.
 The Republicans are jubilant at the practical removal of the president of the Nationalist party from the most important cabinet position and claim that this step means the breaking up of the party.
 President Palma was confronted with difficulty whatever course he might take 1t is understood that Sec retary of State Zaldo had taken the removal of Tamayo as personal mat ter since the morning of the rioting, when he accused Tamayo of mixing up in politics.
 The two men had hot words over the strike in the presence of President Palma, and it was then that Tamayo resigned his portfolio. Secretary Zaldo said that unless President Palma ac- cepted Tamayo's resignation he would resign himself and intimated that Sec retary of Finance Montes and Secre- tary of Public Works Diaz would go out with him.
 President Palma and late Secretary TamayO have always been close friends, and it is rumored that the president will provide position for him in connection with the work of sanitation. Secretary Zaldo is the most likely candidate for Tamayo's post, and it is understood that he wants it. It is possible that the positions of sec retary of state and secretary of gov ernment will be combined, as was pre- viously the case, though 1t is probable that nothing will be done until after the conclusion of the reciprocity treaty negotiations now being carried on by Secretary Zaldo and General Tasker Bliss.
