GUILFoILE AND KENDRICK.
Kind Words About a Resident and

Kind Words About a Resident and a Former Resident of Waterbury. In the Sunday Register of New Ha- ven yesterday the following about two we'll known attorneys appeared
 Frank P. Guilfoile of Waterbury is one of the young delegates to the con- stitutional convention who have made their marks. He has unfiinchingly stood for the largest measure of pop ular representation which there was the smallest chance of obtaining. He is cool-headed, effective as a debater, courteous to his fellow delegates and has maintained throughout the ses- sions the respect of the entire conven- tion. Besides the question of repre- sentation Mir Guilfoile has advocated the adoption of every proposed popular provision in the new constitution. His arguments in favor of the extension of jury trials to actions in damages. for the election of county commissioners by the people and other kindred propo- sitions were of marked ability. There is future for MT Guilfoile in the poli- tics of Connecticut.
 Greene Kendrick, who was candi- date for the democratic nomination for congress in 1898, has brushed the dust of Waterbury from his patent feathers and come to West Haven to reside He has purchased comfort able home on Center street in that en- terprising borough. He is an enthus- iastic Waltonian and intends to take vacation at his favorite pastime be- fore resuming the practice of law which he has temporarily relinquished except for the management of the le- gal affairs of some of his larger cli- ents. When the fishing season is over. MT Kendrick contemplates open ing law office in this city In times past Mir Kendrick was quite a figure in politics and as he is still at the shady side of 90 he may yet be heard from. He served for eight years as member of the democratic state cen tral committee when the late Mir Bar mum was at the zenith of his power He was mayor of Waterbury. repre- sented his town in the legislature and for several successive years was Wa terbury's town attorney. serving ac- ceptably in every position.

1.-THE NEGRO PROBLEM"
Will Be Discussed By the Rev Mir
 Dancy.

Waterbury, Conn, March 24, 1902. To the Editor of the Democrat:
 Waterbury students of the sociologi- cal questions of the day will soon have the privilege of listening to a val uable address from a noted and compe- tent speaker. The Hon John c. Dancy, until recently the collector of the port of Wilmington, N. C., and is now re- corder of deeds for the District of Col umbia, will speak at ous City hall on Monday evening April 21. With his theme "The Negro Problem" he Is tho- roughly familiar, as he is himself q negro, born and brought up in the South, and educated at Howard Uni versity in Washington. Like Booker Washington, he has acquired distinc- ton, and risen to a commanding posi- ton through ability and hard work. Of the condition and prospects of his people he is said to speak in a discrim- mating and charming manner.
 He is a friend of the Rev Mir Me- Collum, Pastor of the 4. M. E. Zion church on Pearl street, and generously comes here at his request. The Rt Rev Bishop Hood, MT McCollum's father-in-law, will be in town at the same time and will introduce the speak CT. himself, no doubt uttering wise and witty words. The Pearl street church needs money for the renovation of it's somewhat dilapidated building, and partly for the sake of obtaining re- quisite funds it's pastor has secured the services of Mr Dancy.
 It. is hoped that the good people of Waterbury will appreciate Mir McCol- lum's enterprise and Mir Dancy's kind- ness, and by patronizing the lecture not only secure a rich and rare treat for themselves but help struggling church to accomplish worthy end.N Waterbury can afford to welcome a distinguished man whom the presidents of the United States have delighted to honor.

"Gentlemen: Your regIstar would
respectfully report having made
collections OF water rents for the
year 1902. The amount uncol.
lected, $4O is divided as folio ws:
Thirty.three dollars represents
water rent uncoilccted and the
water shut or at the curb, tho
greater part of which will be paid.
The bal ance, 81, remains unpaid,
some OF which will be paid during
the week. A certain portion of this
cannot be collected immediately,
but will be paid as soon as services
ere arranged so that We can shut
off tho water without shutting of
the water in any other property.
"Thls Is the closest collection that
has been made by this department
Since the org anization Of your hon.
orable board.
''We find that it is much better to
press payments early in the year 90
that those who are unable to pay
the full amount of their waterj rent
can do so by lnstalments, thereby
making it much easier for the renter
to pay and in the meantime are not
distressed by having the water shut
oil. Yours very respectfully.
