I. This is the first year for two or
three at which there has not been a
grand jury called for the January
term Of court. This is no doubt
chiefly because the law and order peo-
pie are very well satisfied with the
administration Of affairs at present in
this city where agitation for a grand
jury must nearly always commence,
However this is perhaps not the only
reason. If anyone has started out to
work up sentiment for grand jury
and has consulted the law to discover
just what steps are necessary he has
found that 1t is much more work now
to get things ready for securing a
grand jury now than it was before
the late Legislature took its shot at
the law. Under the old law it only
required one hundred names on a pc
tition to secure a grand jury. Now
ii requires four hundred. However,
this is partially at least Offset by the
fact that the law now makes it man
datory upon the Judge to grant the
request of the petition when it con-
tains this number OF Signers while
under the old law the jugde was
given his discretion whether he should

Most people imagine that 1t IS but a

in answer to a written order for whisky
given to a spirit merchant, Scotch whls-

pointed out that the customer alwayN
purchased Irish, never Scotch The
order was referred to and the merchant,
placing his finger on the word whisky,

there is II real demand for grand

cured without much trouble, Yet
1t looks Il little like an effort OF the
Legislators TO do something for their

make up for what they did against
them In the passage OF the lIurrel
law.

MISS DWELL WON CASE.
Judge Decided She Should Receive Fee
 of ST,5OO.


 Attorney Susan O'NeIrs ease against Mrs E. Wright Smith for coun- sel fees amounting to $7,oOO was ue- cided yesterday by Judge Robinson III the superior court in Miss O'Nehi 5 favor The period of service covers about fhree years. Anyone knowing Mrs Smith to see her yesterday on Bank street in the afternoon would think she had lost her dearest relative. She looked as forlorn as though she had not a penny in the hole world Her inevitable travelling companion, her black bag hung istlessly by her side and the most woe-begOne eXpreS- sion was on her wonderfully eXpreS- siye face. The woman is in the meshes of the law deeper than ever, and it is owing to her adverse disposition, every attempt she has made during the few years past to get clear of the courts has only thrown her back deeper than ever. She is last acquiring the reputation that she will pay nobody notwithstanding her reputed wealth.
 Judge Robinson also decided the contested divorce petition of Lottie H. Platt Stephens against Louis H. Stephens Intemperance and cruelty were the grounds of the suit. Hard ci- der and whiskey were the defendants favorite toddy, according to his wife's testimony A short time after their marriage he took to drinking and evil habits and life with him was intoler- able. he defendant was represented by Attorney O'Neill. Judge Robinson granted the petition, and there being no more business ready adjourned court.

NEARLY LATE FOR TRAIN.
Board of Public Works Seeing Sights
 in Thomaston.

Board or PuDnc WOfKS SeelHS SiSulS
 in Thomaston.
 A white chipmunk in a cage in inc show window of q Thomaston hard ware dealer named Welton came near being the innocent cause of having sew efaI members of the board of pubic works late for the train Gn the return t:i,, from the wigwam reservoir yes t-lday. Sheriff McDonald introduced the strangers to the animal and after eyeing the crowd it started in to show what it could do on the horizontal bar and treated them to such a unique exhibition some of them forgot all about the railroad time and had to do some sprinting to catch the train. On the way home one of tha commis- siOEers said that people who live ill . big place like Thomaston wouldn't stop to notice such a thing aud cdme near getting himself into trouble by hazarding the assertion that the white chipmunk is kept there as curiosity fer uninitiated folks from Waterbury and other small towns along the val ley. By the way, Thomaston has one very fine macadam road; it may have several of them, but the board didn't have time to look at them. This one is in such excellent condi- ton that some of the Waterbury off, cials who have not been very much in favor of that kind of roadbed didn't know what to say for themselves when they saw it and tried to defend their opposition to it here by stating that it was more expensive one than any ever laid in Waterbury and the truck ing over it was not so heavy.
 People who are constantly finding fault about the condition of the county roads ill Waterbury should make a trip over the highways in the rural districts of Morris, Thomaston and other nearby places and see what they think of them. It is a question if there is a town within many miles of Waterbury that has as good country roads as we have right here. They tell us that the city streets and side walks are not as we'll kept here as elsewhere. but there is nothing certain about this either. People are apt to rail at defects around,their own homes that they would not notice in far off lands. Waterbury is a good place to live in and anybody who doubts needs put ask those who travel how the gen eraI condition of Waterbury compares Wlth what they find in other places. niost or LIS are given to fault finding. ProbabIy this is true to some extent or mankind i'll all quarters of tbe country and if so it is nothing wonder Iui that Waterbury should lead in thfs as IT IS said to do in everything else.

Day. On Commissioner Rents mo- ton it was decided that all the clocks in the schools be seen to by the prop CT committee, hygiene. 1t seems that they cannot agree on the matter of time; that they have been taken care of by the school carpenter; that they are all cheap affairs, anyway, and are stuck or glued in oil and are unreli- able, because of hairpins and ordin- ary pins and one thing and another being at some time of their careers applied to them to keep them ill time.
 Commissioner Kent inquired what the cooking school was doing for the $640 year allowed it by the city. MT Tinker said it was going along all right and that he had heard some talk of the board being invited to dinner by the school.
 It was voted on MT Rents motion that the Charles Thatcher Co be mo- tified to make certain repairs per con- tract on the Bank street school with in the present week. else the board will have them done at the expense of the company.
 Commissioner Kent also moved, and his motion was adopted, that water coolers shall be furnished teachers who ask for them, provided the teach CTS supply ice for them.
 A committee consisting of Commits sioners Kent and Griggs was appoint ed to inquire into the boards financial standing.
 On motion of Mir Kent it was voted to instruct the superintendent to call the attention of the principals and teachers to the following section of the rules:
 tSec. 6. Teachers are required to devote themselves during school hours exclusively to their duties or over sight, instruction and discipline; to make themselves familiar with the rules, regulations. and the course of study prescribed by the board of edu- cation. They must not be absent from school without permission obtained from the superintendent
 This motion was in writing and as he was handing it to Clerk Fitzgerald his face was quite flushed as though he was angry, and he remarked after the motion was passed that he hoped the board would not find it necessary to delve further into this matter.
 Commissioners Kent next asked how or where the board stood in reference to certificates from physicians that children cannot be vaccinated. MT Tinker explained that the board was bound to accept such certificates, the court holding that they were suffi- cient. MT Chapman thought the vote passed by the board some time ago, in effect that no child shall be admitted to school unless vaccinated This vote was referred to the board of health and that body allowed that a child could be admitted to school on a certificate from it's family physician that it could not stand the operation of vaccination. Commissioner Griggs thought this opened big hole through the vote of the board, but in the opin- ion of MT Tinker there was no cure for it. The board of health did not classify the physicians so that cer- | tifcate from any class of the profes- sion must be acceptable.
 The question of insurance was next taken up and that disposed of it was voted to advertise for bids for the re- moval of the West Side Hill school house. The board then adjourned.

Large Crowd in Attendance on the
 Opening Night.

cAo"u III Attendance on the
 Opening Night
 The fair and festival of Waterbury Co, No 20. U. R. k. P. opened last night in City hall with a large crowd In attendance. The fair will continue for the rest of the week witt. change or program each evening The spe- cial attractions prove that the commit tee were on the inside track as to the best and most attractive features for the occasion. The electric picture machine is simply wonderful and a marvel to the patrons of the fair. photographs being taken and deveI- oped in 30 seconds and placed in a ring or frame within one minute. The next attraction in importance is the glass blowers. They do their work in the open, thus giving the spectator the pleasure of witnessing the manner in which the many articles are shaped and blown. The shooting gallery proved a winner. The boys could not >fesist the temptation to try their skill and many of the ladies endeayored to hit a bulls-eye as the target reyolyed. All of the different booths were beau tifully and artistically arranged and there was in each booth some things which made you think the best was being kept for the last. The ladies of the different booths endeavored to make everything attractive and their courteous treatment of each customer and critic made friends of all. One man was overheard to say, after hay ing journeyed around the ha1l that Waterbury could certainly boast of her good looking and ladylike daugh- ters. The specia1ties on the stage were Russell and Dunbar in songs and coon selections, and Miss Sylvia Cook, the serio-comic singer. She has clear voice, knows when to smile, and carried the house; encore after encore followed each song. One attraction this evening which you will do well to see is the exhibition drill by the de gree team of Excelsior council, No = U. O. A. NJ, under the careful coach ing of F. A. Henry. Dancing fol- lowed the vaudeville turns. Music by Fulton's orchestra.
