CHAMPIONS D. B. HILL.

Waterbury Man Who Doesn't Like the
 Way He is Being Sidetracked. Editor of the Democrat:
 I read i'll New York iso-called inde- pendent democratic paper that an effort is being made throughout the state Of New York to eliminate David B. Hill as leader of the democratic party and no longer that he be q factor in state and national conventions. Such course, think, would prove disastrous to the party in New York and perhaps to the national democratic ticket next year. However. believe he is leader to-day and will be for some time to come and perhaps will be a factor in the next national convention should the party be successful in 1904. which I think it will be. Who in this broad land would make better secretary of state than ex-Senator Hill to settle our newly ac- quired territorial disputes? I am for merly of New York and favorite Of D. B. Hill believe these newspaper stories the work of some disgruntled politicians who are seeking Hilrs over- throw.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS

Ut was said to-day that there was no truth i'll the rumor that Miss Schrefber had eloped with an actor. Some of her friends claim that she is visiting with relatives and knows noth. ing about all this talk
 Residents of the high hills of this district who are finding fault because they have no city water should bear in mind that they will have a chance to kick about this matter until such time as the high water service is in stalled. A year ago or more the city laid T water main ill Fox street, and i'll so doing supposed that they were making the residents of that street happy. Later on the people called upon the water board and wanted to know the reason why they could not get water in the faucets during the daytime. The engineer explained that no better service could be given with the present water supply, adding that they would have to be content with what they could draw nights until the high service is installed. 1t is under stood that something will be done i'll that direction next year.
 Ine dQVenC or cola weather mas caused much sickness and the doctors are rushed with calls. Sick people will do well to remember whenever they want prescription to be filed to send 1t to A. c. Walkers pharmacy, where the prescription materials are the best that money can buy. Every. thing is fresh and pure. There is nc substitute. The doctors directions are always carried out with absolute accuracy and the utmost care is taken that there are no mistakes. The prices are the lowest.

ROOT DEFENDS WOOD.
General Acting Under Orders From
 the War Department.

General ActinG Under Orders From
 the War Depa
 WASHINGTON Dec IT. Secretary Root at the Wood investigation was asked especially about the charge which Major Rathbone had made that General Wood had influenced the courts in the prosecution of Rathbone and had tempered with the courts.
 The secretary explained at some length the court system in Cuba, say ing that the court of first instance was in reality an officer directed to prose- cute and to obtain evidence. He was something like grand jury in finding evidence, but was further empowered to go out and obtain evidence, mingle with the people, procure af1davits and otherwise to collect evidence against alleged offenders.
 The secretary said he knew what General Wood was doing in this matter and approved it. The secretary said that, in fact, he directed that the prose cution of the offenders be vigorous, and General Wood was acting in this mat ter under orders from the war depart ment.

PosToFFIcE FRAUDS.
High OBcials Blamed For PostaI
 Scandals.

F
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.--By action of tha house committee on postofices and post roads the report of Messrs. Charles J. Bonaparte and Holmes Con- rad to the president on the postofiice scandals and the expurgated report of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow have been made public.
 The report fairly bristles with points on the misconduct of various officials which could not be given in detail in the summary issued by direction of the president
 In their report on the Tul1och charges Messrs. Bonaparte and Conrad find that they revealed deplorable and gravely discreditable abuses, for which those primarily responsible are former Assistant Postmaster General Perry S. Heath and George W. Beavers. They classify former Postmaster General Smith, former Postmaster Willett of Washington, Postmaster Merritt of Washington, Comptroller R. J. Trace we'll and Auditor Castle as sharing in some measure in the responsibility.

 Result Seriously.
 Middletown, Dec 17-There was trol- ble at the freshman class society initi- ation at Wesleyan university Tuesday night. When the sophomores attempt ed to enter the room of F. B. Taylor of Boston in North college they found the door locked. Taylor refused to ati- nit them. They attempted to get in through the windows and Taylor Bred several blank cartridges at them. Aftes the excitement had died out the sopho- mores began to throw stones and shat ter window panes.
 Just as a more vigorous attack was to be made Taylor threw open the door. Armed with q long screwdriver he at- tempted to fight his way through tle crowd of students in the corridor. Be fore the driver was taken from him Taylor had struck Fl. M. Richards of tNew Haven, senior cutting deep gash in his temple. Taylor was rough ...y handled. Richards's injury may prove serious and affect his sight. There seems to have been a strong feei- ing against Taylor and a desire to put him through. He evidently realized it and determined to defend hszns lf. Richards has been taken to his home.
