of the different shops when they in- stalled lighting plants of their own and withdrew their patronage from the trolley people. This is one thing that nobody connected with the fac tories cares to discuss. A manufac- turer told representative of this pa per some time ago that he took his tips regarding electric lights from Mayor Kilduff and that it turned out to be wonderful money saver to the company, but when asked why he was opposed to seeing the city make mon- ey in the same way he said that that was a subject he didn't care to talk on. Kilduff has been criticised in certain quarters because he didn't have the taxpayers settle for that ESQ., GOO wall on the Watertown road, in stead of the trolley company; he has been knocked on account of his atti- tude towards the corporations with reference to paving. He believed that they should pay on the same basis as others, but, folks crawled over his head in this fight, too. He thought when the city paid for an electric light it should burn as per contract else the com pany could be compelled to make rebate for the time 1t failed to burn, but he was handicapped in an effort to carry out that order as well as oth- CTS and there you are. But what matter about those things. For a man who has been in public life near ly quarter of a century, Kilduff has an unique career, and the men to train with him during all these years have no reason to apologize for any of his public acts.
 But this is digressing. What about Santa Claus and Christmas? It looks now as if Father Slocum will have to be credited with bringing about more practical reforms among the liquor dealers of Waterbury than all the other agencies that have been brought to bear upon the question. He is not a crank on the question, consequently his counsel Is needed, even by the old "topers." Since he came here he has been suggesting the proprfety of clos ing saloons early on Christmas day and Good Friday and as a result the custom is now almost general
 The board of charities is making a special effort to help the poor, pri- yate individuals and charitable inst1- tutions are lending hand too, so that the outlook for cheerful Christmas never was brighter. It is a mistake for people to let fancy run away with them and get to thinking that they are worse off than they really are. It is out of the question to make a man happy who is constantly finding fault with his surroundings and talking about how we'll the world uses others and how cruel it is toward him. Much of the enjoyment mortals ex- tract out of living depends upon the way they look at things. Instances of this can be seen every day in the week. At the present time many rate payers are actually weeping at the idea of having to meet tax bills next May made up on the basis of full valuation at fifteen and a half mill tax while others are not bother ing their heads about such matters, and if they give 1t thought at all they dismiss 1t with the remark that they will find some way to meet the obligation if they are here at that time, if not somebody else will foot the bill.

HAD NARROW ESCAPE.
Terrible Experience of Ice Cutter on
 Housatonic River.


 Danbury. Dec 24.-Oscar Jarvis, an ice cutter, while cutting ice on the Housatonic river, near Lanesville, yes terday, fell into the canal cut in the ice and, after making frantic effort to save himself by clutching at the edge of the ice, disappeared under a 12-inch coating of ice beneath which a swift current was running. Five of his companions tried to save him.
 A hundred yards below were rapids over which ice had not formed There the five men ran, hoping to rescue Jarvis when he emerged from under the ice, but when he appeared he was so far from the banks that they could not reach him.
 Below the rapids was another smooth stretch of river where ice har- vesting operations were going on. In der this ice Jarvis was carried. His five companions ran on to this ice with but faint hope of being of aid to the drowning man at the canal The men at work were told of what had occurred. and dozen knelt at the edge of the area from which the ice had been cut with ice hooks blindly thrust into the dark water.
 Tn less than a minute Charles Haner felt weight on his hook, and, with a frantic pull, he brought Jarvis to the surface. He was unconscious, and it was at first thought that he was drowned, but he was revived af- ter quarter hours work. He will re- cover unless pneumonia, which is feared, sets in.

teeth of his enemies, if enemies he have, that he has done his work well.
 Indeed. this is admitted on all sides,
 and it is also generally conceded that Kilduff's public record is above re- proach and that it will look even bet ter in the future than at the present time. As the years roll onward and the rate payers commence to groan un- der the burden of excessive taxation they will think of Mayor Kilduff's re- marks regarding the advisability Of compelling corporations that wanted
 to do business on the public streets help pay something towards the run ming expenses of the city. He couldn't brook the thought of allowing the
 United Gas Improvement Go, the Southern New England Telephone Go or the Connecticut Railway and Light ing Go to use the streets which were built at the expense of the public, without paying something for the priv ilege. He never could see why these corporations were entitled to more con- sideration than such concerns as Ben edict & Burnham's. the Scovill Manu- featuring Go and other local industries that were mainly Instrumental in mak- ing the city what it is. But the cor poratfons had more votes in the city government than Kilduff could win to his way of thinking, and as a result constant warfare was on for several years between the mayor and a handful of democrats on one side and the ma iority representation in the aldermanic chamber on the other. This was kept up until about two or three years ago,
 when the aldermen experienced a change of heart and joined hands with
 those who had been standing out. to get something for the city from the corporations, but at this time it was too late. Legislative enactments at Hartford had practically disfranchised the people in that respect and there was no course open to the city but try conclusions with the corporations in the courts The city took up the challenge and for nearly a year has been trying to have an Inning before a judge of the superior court, but all to no avail. Every large factory fHd Waterbury has adopted Mayor Xii duff's plan of lighting and yet none Of them is willing to see the city do like wise. When anybody talked of the city manufacturing its own electricity he was charged with aiming to I1arass the trolley company. but no such in- putation was hurled at the directors

PART ONE.

In the beginning, which was the
gath of last September. we pitched
our tents a short distance up the Plat
eau canon. The scenery was as pret-
ty as any outdoors and the meals were
good. At the time. the only thing
that seriously worried me was that
the life seemed barren of real hard
ships. had set my heart on getting
a taste of genuinely rough career.
The ease with which l grew a day
older disappointed me. did not
know thcn what the future had in
store tor us all. 1 know now. AS
the days wore on. the cook took less
pains with the biscuits. The tower
ing peaks and rocky ledges which at
first held my marveling eye by their
supreme beauty suddenly became hate
full to me when was told to scale the
psrilous heights with an awkward
stadia rod. MAY we toll in this
sublime region forevor'' Idoitlc ex
pressions of that character bnbbledfrom
my heart in the early hours of my ex-
perience Never afterwards.
Afe leaving Plateau creek. the
surveyors camped at six different
places down the valley. Four of the Sc
camps were on the bank Of the Grand
Valley ditch; fifth was at the sugar
company's reservoir north of Iona.
and the last was on one of the steDpes
of West Salt creek near a useless
spring. 1t is really dangerous to be
alive in some of these improvised ref
uges. The frail tents had furious
battle with the elements at the Pals
ade bridge grounds. Someone had
forewarned us that the wind went
down the valley in the morning and
up in the afternoon The balance of
the time. he should have added. there
was a ''weddin ing of the winds at the
spot where we were rusticating. AL
ways there was something in the wind
something that could be detected
better by the eye than the ear. It
was a mixture of dust and gravel. A
member of the corps consolingly re-
marked that little clean dirt
would MT hurt. And it didn't. We
all soon became accustomed to muddy
coffee and mud pies. In due time.

MORE TROUBLE.

Denver. Jan. 23.-For the third
time today the democrats failed to
elect Teller to the United State SEN
ate. At noon when the joint session
was ready to ballot the roll call
showed one shy of the required 81.
Representative Kelly who was absent
yesterday was present today and ready
to vote for Teller. but Representative
Madden absented himself from the
session and made the result the same
as yesterday.
Madden was found in his shop after
12 O'Clock. and when informed bv the
sergent-at-arms that he was wanted
at the capitol he said he would not
go.
The Sergeant alarms had power to
arrest him and take him by force but
he knew better. rs this would have
interferred with the plan of Patter-
son, Adams and Hughes. II he had
taken Madden. however. they would
have been ready with another myster-
ious disappearance. Delaney of Arap-
ahoe. was on the program to disap-
pear if Madden came back into the
field
Another evidence of bad faith was
plainly shown when the democratic
leader laughingly informed a republi-
can senator that when the search for
Kelly was the keenest yesterday he
saw him on the street and that he
crossed the road to avoid an inter
view. The democracy does not pro-
pose to elect Teller unless forced alb
sloutely to do so.
Just before noon word was passed
around that if Madden was brought
in and got in line for Teller that
three other members were ready to
throw their votes to another demo-
crat. some old hack politicians who
stood no possible chance. The man
named stands very close to Patterson.
and he was the man who was to get
: the vote to complete the double cross
deal. The opera bouffe will doubt
less continue until everybody gets
tired and Teller withdraws; then Ad-
ans and Hughes will get in the game
and fight it openly.

EARTH QUAKES.

Savannah. Georgia Jan. 23.-Two
shocks of earth quakes were generally
felt in Savannah tonight at S:15
O'Clock. News from the settlements
along the coast indicate that thev
were of sufficient strength to rock
houses.
From Tybee Island came reports of
the greatest violence and decided
alarm was cauesd among the few who
populate the re sort at this season
Mrs. Evans. the keeper of the light
house. telephoned that five shocks
had shook the lighthouse, so that in
the living rooms forty feet from the
ground. the children had been awak-
ened and greatly frightened. In
other houses of the island the shocks
were perceptible, and it was some
time before the excitement there SUBJ
sided.
In the city no report of any damage
has been received and it is doubtful
if there will be any, as the shocks
were scarcely severe enough for that.
