GOT HIS COAL PRETTY CHEAPI l
Bootblack Who Dickered With
 a Driver.

Got About Two Tons at a Cost of $4-
 Customers Began to Kick, Dealer
 Began to Investigate and the Scheme
 Was Brought to Light.
 One of the local coal concerns to-day discovered the means by which it's GUS toners have been defrauded of their rightful measures of coal for some time. The discovery will undoubtedly cost one man his job, and a shoeblack on North square may be made to pony up" It seems that for some time this bootblack has been buying coal from passing wagons for practically nothing at all and to-day a look at his coal bin disclosed two tons of coal or there abouts, which cost him about $4. An agent for the concern interested fol lowed up one of its wagons to-day, and, it seems, saw the bootblack and the driver of the wagon in conversation, and then the driver disappeared down the alleyway with few bags of coal. Later complaint was made by the pur- chaser of the coal that he did not get his rightful measure. The agent sim ply let things reach their fullest devel- opment before he moved a step. Then he looked into the bootblack's coal bin and had his suspicious realized, had an interview with the bootblack and another interview with Officer Keegan. and then proceeded to straighten out matters with his customers.

ASHBORN. HAD A NARROW ESCAPE
NO BASEBALL TOMORROW.
Chief of Police Egan Will Enforce
 Safety Boards Order.

''Is there anything new in regard to Sunday baseballY' a Democrat report CT asked Chief of Police George M. pate any trouble The public knows that we intend to obey the order to prohibit Sunday baseball given to us by the board of public safety. De- tails of police will be detached to the various ball grounds, Riverside park, Oakville, Waterville, Long Hin and other places. If there are any persons there playing ball, or intending to play, they will be told of the order of the Doard.'
 Sundays in Waterbury will be rath- CT blue hereafter" remarked the scribe. s@F s..
 "Yes, extra trains will have to be run on the railroads to take the people out of the city,
 "We will have to wait for the open ing of Forest park" the reporter here interrupted.
 That is another proposition which we will have to face later. The law prohibits all amusements on Sundays except sacred concerts. Besides, if the laws are strictly enforced a4l the stores in the city could be closed ex- cept drug stores and these could only sell medicine. The soda water foun- tains could be put out of business. Two years ago some persons requested us to enforce the law closing stores on Sundays, but told them su$A Amove would be decidedly against public sen- timent''
 Mark Warner, owner of the grounds on Long Hill, paid a visit to police headquarters twice this year and com plained about the playing of Sunday baseball on hSs grounds. MT Warner appears to, have a particular grievance against the baseball players because he rented tlle grounds last year to team in the north end to play on any day except Sunday. They not only played on Sundays, but at the end of the season they forgot to pay for the use of the grounds.

MANY HYDRANTs BROKEN.
Superintendent O'Brien Kept Busy Put
 ting in New Ones.

Superintendent O'Brien Kept Busy Put
 ting in New Ones.
 All the hydrants and dead ends about the city were flushed to-day. Superin- tendent O'Brien is puzzled to know what to do in order to prevent the breaking of hydrants, they being put out of business at the rate of one or two a month, and it seems to be i'm possible to detect the guilty parties. The last one disabled was located on North Main street, near Cooke street. It was smashed by truck, but the su- perintendent could not find out who owned it. It costs $25 or $50 to replace them and naturally MT O'Brien does not care to be putting out money for this purpose. Of course whenever hydrant Is broken it is the result of ac- cident, but the city has to foot the bills just the same. One satisfaction the superintendent has is that the ones that are being put in now cannot be knocked out as easily as the old ones.

Events of the Review Was a Furious
 Charge by the Cavalry Column.
 Paris. May liking Edward this morning witnessed the maneuvers of 14,OOO picked French troops on the pa rade ground at Vincennes. Tt was a martial panorama of imposing propor- i ttons, resembling so near as possible the conditions of warfare, the troops being uniformed and accoutred for ac- tual field service The king drove to N1ncennes in all open state coach, ac- companied by President Loubet, the cabinet ministers and the heads of the army and navy. The escort consisted of a regiment of cuirassiers. The streets were densely packed and the people continuously acclaimed the king. Even the woods of Vincennes were swarming with sightseers.
 As the equipage entered the field of the maneuvers batteries of field guns, ill deafening roar, fired q royal sa- lute.
 King Edward drove along the line of troops while fanfares of trumpets were sounded, standards were dipped and bands played God Save the King 1t was a sight to impress even king. His majesty wore the uniform of d British field marshal, with gray mili- tary cloak thrown over his shoulders.
 On ascending to the tribune, where, under canopy of flags and surrounded by the chiefs of state, the king wit messed the review, the spectators furi- ously acclaimed him, the women cry ing: Bravo, Edward"
 General Faure-Biguet, the military governor of Paris, who commanded the troopS, formed them into two divis- ions. The first was made up of bri- gades of regular infantry, zouaves and colonial troops; the second included the mounted forces, regiments of hus- sars, dragons and cuirassiers, and bat teries of light field pieces and ponder ous siege guns, forming vast expanses of moving color and glittering steel. The troops then defiIed before the king who arose and saluted each French flag.
 A dramatic climax to the review was q furious charge of the whole brigade of cavalry. It was a bloodstirring sight as the solid line of horseme1 swept straight toward the kings tri bune, the cavalrymen yelling and 1 brandishing their sabres.

Finally Resulted in Finding the Wo-
 man Working as Domestic in New
 ark-The Woman Remembers Noth-
 ing of Her Former Life, Although
 She Recognized Her Daughter Her
 Mind Became Unbalanced After the
 Death of Her Husband
 Newark, N. J., May 2.-Mrs Emma Wallace, d wealthy resident of Wilkes barre, Pa, who disappeared from her home soon after the death of her hus- band five months ago, has been found by her daughter in the home of u resi- dent of this city.
 Although Mrs Wallace recognized her daughter, she remembered nothing of her home or her life before she came to Newark. She does not even know how she got to this city.
 When Mrs Wallaces husband died she became the sole owner of his cs- tate valued at about$1OO, 900. His death so preyed on her mind that she became mentally unbalanced and wandered away from home.
  ing employment she could not tell her own name or the names of any nlelli- Der of her family. All she knew was that she was in Newark and wished to get work to keep from starving. The family with which she was found took her in and found her as competent servant as if she had been bred to that calling. She was willing and uncom- plaining and apparently In perfect pos session of all her mental faculties ex. cept memory.
 After the disappearance of Mrs Walss lace from Wilkesbarre every effort was made to find her. After long search the police and all of her relatives ex- cept her daughter came to the conclu- sion she had met death by suicide or in some other way and would never De heard of again. But her daughter did not despair She followed every clue no matter how little it might promise. It was a clue of the slenderest sort that led her to this city,

NOT CHARITY, BUT JUSTICE.
Bishop Spalding Says That Is Labor's Need.

He Says It Would Be a Gain for the
 World if All the Dehumanized Men
 Would Get Out-Human Lives and
 the Resources of Nature. He Says,
 are Being Used Up Too Rapidly.
 Peoria, III, May 2.-Bishop Spalding, who was a member of the miners strike commission, in lecture on -bor problems at the Coliseum last night, spoke in part as follows:
 Laws are not made for the great corporations. What a gain for the ell tire world if all dehumanized men should get out. We have means enough, we can do without capitalists who come among Us and live on the blood of human beings. The cause of labor if rightly understood is the cause of humanity. What labor desires first of all is, not charity, but justice. We Americans are using up too rapidly the resources of nature and we are using up too rapidly human lives. One of the greatest fallacies of the age is that money Is equivalent to human lives. The spirit of commercialism is sinking deeper and deeper into us. Whatever a man sets his heart on must increase or it ceases to satisfy him. What we need in America is a realization of spiritual ideas, and the realization that the best things in lifa are not procured by money. Wages are never the full equivalent for human work. There is a quality in all men which goes far be- yond the question of wages. One of the great curses of the modern world is the vast conglomeration of people in huge cities. The idea of civilization is a country of cities of from 10000 to 5O,O0O inhabitants. If it were not for these great cities we could do away with the evils brought upon us by cor rupt politicians. There is nothing which can give us relief from those conditions with the exception of trades' unionism. The history of trades unionism is largely the history of beneficence. The strike is the one weapon of organized labor, but it is as dangerous to labor as it is to the capi- talfst."
