WATERVILLE DAILY TALK

There was very large audience at Pythian hall last night, the attraction being a concert by the Ideal Mandolin and Guitar club of Waterbury. The concert was delightful and the large audience was we'll satisfied with It.. The different numbers were rendered in a most charming manner. The con- cert was a great success.
 The entertainment in the Parish hall last night, under the auspices of St Paul's parish, was very pleasing to the large audience. Each number was de- lightful and was worthy of the great applause that it received Many per sons partook Of the luncheon which parish after the entertainment.
 Registrars Carney and Cooke had very little to do yesterday. From 12 o'clock until o'clock they were at T. B. Carney's drug store for the purpose of registering voters. but only two persons registered in that time. The voters do not like the idea of having to signify with what party they intend to vote at the coming primaries. This is delicate subject but it is the law, and 1t must be enforced. Local parties have no option in this mater If you do not register, you cannot vote at the primaries. It is good to understand this now. The registrars will sit in Carney's drug store again on next Fri day, during the same hours. This will probably be their last sitting. Be sure and register.

The division is to keep a record by photographs. measurements, description, etc, of criminals throughout the country, and this material is to be available to po- lice authorities for the detection of criminals. Before reporting the bill the committee was advised that unfaycra- ble action recently taken by senate committee was due to q misapprehen- sion that the attorney general opposed the measure and that as there was no such opposition the bill would now be favorably reported in both houses.

Aa Introduced at Albany 1t Shows
 Increase Over 1901.
 ALBANY, Feb. 3.--The annual sup ply bill has been introduced in the as sembly several weeks ahead of it's usu- al time. It shows an increase of $235,- 900 as compared with the bill of last year. The subcommittee Of the ways and means committee that introduced the bill made public the following statement:
 'sThe supply bill for the year 1902 carries the sum of $1,T70,9S1, which must be paid by taxation, either direct or indirect The amount carried by the supply bill of last year was $1, ,535, ,9S4 for items of the same nature. This shows an approximate increase as com pared with last year of $235, ,00O, but this is only an apparent increase and not a real one when the objects for which the appropriations are made are considered, because part of the appro priation for good roads last year was placed in the supply bill and part in the supplemental supply bill, while this year, in response to the demands of the state at large, the amount ap- propriated in the supply bill for good roads has increased $350,OOO, as the appropriation made by the supply bill thus year for good roads stands at $60O, GOO as against $250,0OO in the SUD- ply bill of 1901.
 Excluding the subject of good roads the supply bill of this year shows decrease of $115,o00 as compared with the same subjects in last years bill, saving of dollar in ten as compared with last year"

SECURITIES ALL FORGED.
Paper Held by Defunct Nebraska
 Bank Worthless.

Bank Worthless.
 DAVID CITY, New, Feb. 8.-Forged paper held by the defunct Platte Val ley bank of Bellwood has already reached an aggregate of $1o0.000, and it may largely exceed this. Customers of Cashier Amos Gould from Laporte and Michigan City, Ind, are here and claim that ill every instance the notes and mortgages held by them are forger- ies. Real estate mortgages have been forged, including the certificate of fil- ing and recording, giving book and page, while this week several chattel mortgages have been received by banks and attorneys here for collection that are also forgeries.
 Gould, 1t is charged, kept private book, where he had q record of all forged notes, the amount of each and the date of maturing, and when one of these notes matured he would replace it with another forged note and pay the holder the interest. Gould, it is al- legged, claims that if it had not been for the blowing up of the bank safe a short time ago, in which his private book was destroyed, he would not have been detected and he still would be running the bank. The cashier and his brother are still in jail. The day of their arraignment has not been set.

New Year Being Celebrated In New
 YorIx's Chinatown.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 8.-In the Chinese calendar yesterday marked the twen- ty-eighth year of the Emperor Kwong Soy and also another Sun Meen, or New Year, a festival which all the in- habitants of Chinatown, forgetful of the busy life of civilization about them, are celebrating in the curious manner of the orient, just as their honorable ancestors in the Flowery Kingdom have been doing for centuries. The celebration will continue through to- morrow. The fronts of the ordinary brick tenements in Mott. Pell and Do yers streets are hidden behind the gay est of decorations, and prominent ev- anywhere in the profusion of color IS the yellow flag of China, with its drag on rampant.
 Tn Mott street, where smiling Celes- Gals are moving about in flowing robes of figured silk and where the weird notes of the wooden cymbals and tom toms coming from the josshouse maybe heard. but little imagination is needed to make one imag zine himself in some city of the faraway Chinese empire, so marked is the contrast from the neigh boring streets.
 Before the gaudy shrine in the joss house, which is at 16 Mott street. sol emn priests are kneeling and calling upon the gods for good luck in the year to come, chanting their prayers in the strange language used by Confucius himself, while their pious followers are giving thanks for benefits received

SAMPSON FAILING.

No Cause For Immediate Afarm-A
 Brief In the schIey Trouble.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Alarming rumors were af1oat here to the effect that Admiral Sampson had taken se- rious turn for the worse within the last twentyfour hours. Inquiries showed that there has been no decided change in his condition, but that q steady retrogression is in progress, which is common to his disease
 It was stated authoritatiyely that what had been used as basis for the reports of a serious change for the worse in the condition of Admiral Sampson was q slight attack of indi- gestion, which caused no alarm among those nearest him, but which confined him to his room and bed for several days.
 D. s. Theall, representing Stayton & Campbell, counsel for Rear Admiral Sampson, called at the White House during the day and filed with the pres ident brief in the Schley case.
 The principal point in the brief is the allegation that it was Sampson s custom when moving about among his fleet to hoist the signal Disregard movements of flagship but that he invariably hoisted q specific signal when going beyond signal distance of his feet directing the second in com mand to assume command. The brief says this signal had been brought on the deck of the New York, but had not been hoisted when the New York re- turned to join in the battle.
 The paper will be considered by the president in connection with Admiral Schley's appeal and the navy depart ment's comment

WATERTOWN J0TTlNGS.
Watsrtown Fireman Suffered from the
 Cold and Wet.

During the recent fire in Waterbury the foreman of the hook and ladder company of the Watertown fire depart ment met with an experience which might be called 'cold hospitality" After driving to Waterbury in the in- tense cold and fierce wind, then work ing for several hours until soaking wet and almost worn out, he went to the home of a physician who was formerly Watertown man, and where he ex- pected to get warmed and dry. But what a surprise! The doctors recep- tion was ten degrees colder than the ice which was forming on the poor freman's clothes. The fireman was well acquainted with the doctor and had done him many favors, yet the NJ. D. turned him from the door with the information that he had no fire to warm him nor any clothes to lend until his own were dry. Wet. cold and tired the poor fireman tramped until taken in by kind friends, where dry clothes were given and warm hospitality flowed in abundance. If dog were to apply at his door wet. cold and hun gry, and was turned away uncared for, we would call it cold blooded cruelty, but when fellow being who had risked his life and worked with might and main to save property. perhaps the doctors own property, when such one is turned away, we know no fit words to express our feelings. The foreman's experience was an exception. as the Watertown firemen all speak in highest praise of the kindness shown by the people of Waterbury.
