HIDES SLEEPY BATH
While in St. Louis He Fell Asleep in
 Tub and Had a Good Nap.

New Haven, Nov 1.--Some of the local members of the Governors Foot Guard are telling 8 funny story at the expense of Frank F. Hyde, one of the best natured members of the local company. MT Hyde accompanied the Feeters to St Louis and put up with them at the Planters hotel. There were five In his party and they drew lots for the rooms they would occupy.
 After drawing the rooms they found the one selected had only one bath room, and lots were again drawn for the first member to take a bath.
 Mir Hyde had bad luck and was last man. He was tired and so was every man of the company. As sooh as each man finished they tunhled into bed.
 It was then Mir Hyde's time to take the bath and he went to the bath room. carefully closed the door and all the rest of the Feeters were soon sound asleep.
 Nothing was heard from MT Hyde next morning by the members and they instituted search for the miss ing man. The sight they saw wAera they discovered him they will never forget. There was Mir Hyde sleeping peacefully in the bath tub with the hot water running just enough to keep him warm and the overflow of the tub providing exit for the water so he wouldn't drown.
 MT Hyde fell asleep in the bath and did not wake unth morning. He didn't experience any bad effects and the party all enjoyed good laugh over 1t.

EXECUTIVE SESSION
 ON COLASANTO CASE

N The promotion of Thomas ColasaIl- to from the supernumerary force to the regular police force may result in his whole undoing. 1t appears that to become policeman of the city of Waterbury a candidate must have a clear record. The board of safety held two hours executive session last evening in the mayors office and discussed the matter City Attorney
 Kellogg was, present to help the board form legal opinion of the situation Nothing of definite nature was reached. however. but it is now under stood that at the next regular meet ing of the board which takes place to- morrow afternoon, Colasanto will be called upon to explain. It is within the power of the board to not only dismiss him from the force, but also to recommend his prosecution by the criminal authorities.

LIGHT FOR PRATT PLACE
Only short Time Since William fful. hern Was Attacked in That Locality

1t seems there was some merit IT. the petitions from residents of Pratt place for ap electric light in that street, al- though neither the department of pub lie safety nor the aldermen thought s0s and they were given leave to get out of the way and make room for others. Since that time William Mulhern was attacked in Pratt place and kicked into insensibility and while several heard the racket nobody could see what was going on and the assail- ants had things all their own way. While the street is not what is termed public way, still 1t is used by hum dreds of citizens and ought to be light ed. Tn it's present condition 1t is a splendid place for gang of roughs to congregate, a cloak for all kinds Of vice. and the city, if for no other req son than in the interest of morality, should see that it Is lighted. All the residents of the street are respectable and feel the situation keenly, but they are powerless to improve matters. MT Mulhern was on his way home on Mill street with medicine for a sick child when somebody called him and he iln- mediately turned around to see what was wanted. The next thing he knew he was struck and felled to the ground. Three or four then pitched onto him. but it was so dark he could not recog. nize any of them.

BOARD OF ELUCAIION.
District Does Not Want Lot Recom-
 mended By the Eoard.

The board of education held a short meeting last evening. Very little busi- ness was transacted because there was none to be done. Superintendent link CT reported that Otis J. Squires took his son from Walsh school because he considered the boy had been unfairly dealt with. The facts, however were that the boy was reduced from grade 3 to grade $ because he was not dill gent or Industrious. or up to the re- quirements of grade 9. Mr Squires un- derstood that the boy was reduced be. cause he had misconducted himself. Commissione. Larkin remarked that he had heard something about the matter in the last way in which it was told by Mr Tinker. The latter assured the board that Miss Finch, principal of the school. had no feeling in the mat. ter whatever other than those of a i teacher
 The proposed sidewalks to the Mul. cahy school came under discussion, but nothing definite was done. Mayor Elton stated that he had talked the matter over with MT Tracy, previous him that it was understood by the board that when the land was bought Mir Tracy was to provide sidewalk from Baldwin street. Mir Tracy h.
 
 l formed the mayor that no such under standing was agreed upon, but that. however. he would lay a curb for a !, walk.
 i 4 letter from F. W. Mooring to Com. missioner Chapman was read suggest ing the purchase of the property west of the High school. on the ground that very soon the school will require to be enlarged and the property can be bought cheaper now than in q few years. The matter was tabled. Mr Mooring is agent for the property. t Regarding the eternal question of proper school accommodations on Bunker hill 1t was voted that the board recommend the purchase of lot on i the Watertown road, near the chapel. owned by Valentine Bohl A commit tee from the district was present and informed the board that the voters had declared against the lot in question be- cause of It's being on thoroughfare that is much frequented by altomo- piles and racing teams, and also be- cause of the trolley.
 l A committee from the Bucks Hill 1 district reported progress. The board then adjourned.

UNION BARRIERS HET--
 PASSED RESOLUTION

The union barbers held meeting last evening and passed resolutions to prosecute their delinquent ex-treas- urer Pietro Ciaccio alias DeAmicas. Ciacco was sentenced to four months In jail last week for defrauding the union of some $50, though this was only part of the whole sum he is said to have taken. Ciacco took m appeal and was released on bail after he had been in jail few hours. The action of the union will place it out side of the discretion of the prosecut- ing attorney in the district court to settle the case in payment of any sum. With the funds he Is said to have embedded he started barber's shop in Waterville and went under the name of DeAmicas.

PRAISE FOR C0LASANT0.
Italians Denounce the Stories Print
 cd About Him.

Editor Democrat
 h reply to some remarks concerning the appointment of Mir Colasanto as regular policeman, published in the Sunday Telegram, we wish to state that 1t is not true that the Italians of this city are highly incensed atl this fact; onthe contrary the best of them are perfectly satisfied and praise the board for it, as they believe that Mir Colasanto is able and will do much good in the interest of law and order, only few law-breakers may not like 1t because they will not feel secure any more. By reading the item of the Telegram one thing strikes plainly ev- erybody, and that is that it was sug- gested by mere jealousy and disap- pointments Not one serious charge Is preferred against Colasanto and all the article is filled up with nothing but malicious hints. Honesty demands of the writer and his inspirators that they prove all that is hinted at.

SAME OLD PASSwAY.
City Has Not Seen Fit to Change con-
 ditions at Iewelry Street. |,

A great deal has been said the past few weeks regarding the need of bet ter streets in all parts. of the town, which was well enough in it's way. but nothing has been heardSregarding the demand for streets where there are none at all. Hundreds of people, men, women and children cross and recross daily along the old passway from Bank street to Jewelry street, which is in a shocking condition at the present time although few loads of gravel wouid put it in shape so that one could get over 1t without much risk to life and limb. But 1t Is the old story, what's everybody's business is nobody's business, and simply be- cause no real estate sDeculat0r would be specially benefited by the layout of street between the points men toned everybody shuts his eyes to the crying need of it, and still public off, cials never tire Droclatning how much 1t costs for grades and layouts of new streets and the care of roads which but few find 1t necessary to use. If the city government would take into considerat ton the needs of the great est number of people in the matter of making new streets, not another dol lar would be snent in that line until a cross street had been opened be- tween Bank street and Jewelrysstreet There would be more merit in bond issue if necessary to connect these two streets than for anything else now talked of in Waterbury with the possible execution of sewage disDosal, but if one should say so in the city government somebody would tell him he was crazy. because the powers that be. as we'll as the ones that have been, never cared to take hold of the nroincf
