LOCATION DOES NOT
 MEET POPULAR FAVOR

The article in yesterdays Democrat regarding the location of the public comfort station touched the right spot and were it not for disinclination to run afoul of the mayor and his board of public works, every person em- ployed in the City hall would be out against putting it under the town clerks office, and the board of health would long since have offered word or two on the question. Located under the City hall, the comfort station will be all right for number of the old timers, but it will not amount to any thing So far as being an accommodation to the public generally. It is pity to spend $3,500 for something which prom ises to render such poor service, or. to state the fact better. it is a shame to locate it where it will be out of the peoples reach when it could just as well be placed where it would accom- modate all who might have occasion to use it at less cost than in the City hall, where it will come in handy for only those who know the haunts of the town and could easily manage to get along without it.

RIVAL MUSICIAN.
TromBsne Attracted Some Unfavor.
 ahle Attention Last Night.

Another immense crowd attended the band concert given on the green last night by the American band. The crowd was not so large us last week owing to the announcement hav- ing been made that there would be no concert last night. Am excellent program was rendered, the various numbers being played with a degree of excellence which brought forth much applause from the thousands of people on and about the green.
 The people on the north side of West Main street could hear the son. cert better last night than on the pre- vious occasion. Milk wagons and other vehicles had to take different route and thus the people were not interrupted in their enjoyment by the rattling of milk cans. But for a time there was a successor to the milk teams. Some fresh youth. who wish ed to attract attention, stood on one of the balconies of the Y. M. O.. A. build ing and tried to blow a trombone. The miserable attempt to play the instru- ment was strongly denounced by those present.

SUMMER RESORT HOTELS.
State Board of Health Finds Lack of
 Fire Escapes.

New Haven, July 22-The quarter ly meeting of the state board of health, which embodied the annual election of officers. was held here last night. Professor w. H. Brewer of New Haven was reelected president; the auditing committee is Henry G. Newton and T. H. Mackenzie, and Dr Lindsley is again secretary. Dr Dag gett of this city read paper on the prevention. cure, etc, of typhoid and this was discussed at length. The paper was read before the state medi- cal society and referred by it to the board. Dr Daggert suggested among other things inspection of country outhouses and a committee was ap- pointed to consider the matter.
 The report from the state inspector of summer resorts shows a much bet ter state of affairs in the sanitary con- dftion of summer resort hotels than at the time of his appointment 2 few years ago. The improvement is es- p6cialIy noticeable in the past year and half A feature that interested the board is that the inspector finds that only about 5 per cent of the summer hotels comply with the law regarding the fire escapes. Ill some instances buildings having 100 rooms and only one staircase are not pro- yided with fire escapes. The blame is laid on the local officials for not en- forcing the law.

 Session by commis sioners.

George K. Reid, hoseman and ex- tra driver of Engine Go No ?, ScoyilI street. was discharged from the de- partment last night by the board of public safety for having been intoxi- cated while on duty on July 15. This decision was reached in the face of the fact that his superior officer. Cap- tain Heitman. had testified that Reid had suffered all last week from cramps, that he was a fine fireman, was not addicted to drink, and last weeks offense was his first Chief Snagg also testified that he had never seen Reid intoxicated before nor in a ! condition unfit for duty. He was not inclined to be disrespectfuI or dis obedient This testimony apparently had little effect upon the commissions CTS.

He 1 pleaded guilty, stating that he had been sick with cramps all the week and on the Friday morning in question l had taken two drinks of whiskey to. 1 better his condition. He was accus- toned to take drink once in a while. but often he would not touch any l drink for two months or more He had never been warned by his super for officer ill regard to drinking Cap tain Heitman testified that he knew personally that Reid had been i'll all 1 the week with cramps and had seen him take Jamaica ginger for them. He was on duty all the week. but acted 1 like sick man. It was his first of fense and he was not addicted to l drink. He made good fireman. l Chief Snagg, as stated before, also said l that he had never seen Reid intoxicat- ed Or unfit for duty before, although he was sure that he drank more OF less
 After the hearing of the accused and the witnesses, the board went into ex- ecntiye session and after an hours de- liberation decided that Reid, who was a good fireman and had never been seen intoxicated or unfit for duty by
 his superior officers before was dis.

 l At the netting of the board of pub lie safety last night communication was received from Chauncey M Hall who claims that Officer Simon McCar- thy unwarrantedly placed him under arrest, giving the names of his wit nesses in the case. The cornnlllnfca- tion was sent at the request of the
 board and contained the following
 names: R. R. Porter, Exchange ho- tel; F. B. Manville, 204 North Willow
 street; B. c. Kirchas. 68 Easton ave- nue, and Max Aldrich, Exchange ho-
 tel. It was decided to have hearing
 on the charges tonight at o'clock.
 Chief Egan was instructed to have
 rule 76 strictly enforced. This rule
 requires that supernumerary police
 men, when on duty, shall be attired in
 the full regulation uniform, with heI-
 nets and white gloves. Some super

 LINCOLN, .Neb July 22-W. J. Bry= ans plan for the reformation of the Democracy has been given publicity. Tn it MT.

He declares for state owner ship of railroads, government control of telegraphs and abolishment of pri- vate monopoly and fayors the income tax and election of federal judges by the people. Mr. Bryan says in part:
 My selection as standard bearer of the Democratic party in 1896 and again in 1900 made me the nominal leader of that party, and as such did not feel at liberty to engraft new doctrines up on the party creed. I contented my self with the defense of those princi- pies and policies which were embodied in the platform.

PORTLAND MINE CLOSED.
Military Authorities Have Arrested
 Forty Miners.

DENVER, July p. The Portland mine is closed again in consequence of the action of the military authorities. The mine was giving employment to about 500 men. Squads of soldiers have arrested forty of these, includ- ing the entire mechanical force at the three working shafts. This comprised engineers, firemen, master mechanics and skilled men in other departments. The men thus summarily removed from their Iabofs are accused of no crime, the only accusation being that they re- fused to sacrifice their membership in the Western Federation of Miners and take out Mine Owners association working cards.
 Six of the forty men arrested were declared to be "ali right" by the mili- tary board and were released. Twelve others were released on their own recog- nizance Each of the remaining twen- ty-two when questioned admitted that he had intended to quit work in the Portland mine, but denied knowledge of the others plans. It is alleged that the union men in the mechanical de partment were to walk out in body. There are said to be about 100 union miners still at work in the Portland mine fwho have not taken out Mine Owners association cards, and they will now be required to take out such cards or leave the district.

New Haven, July 22.-City Attorney Webb was yesterday morning guilty of an awful attempt to revive the How Old is Ann'' gag which for months was used to keep the inmates of the insane asylums busy. One Margaret Curtin was before the court for drunkenness. She begged to be allowed to go and said she had been visiting friend.
 ''Who is this friend?'' inquired MT Webb.
 'sHer name is Ann," said Margaret, "and I don't exactly know what her last name is."

TWO HEN BEFORE
 JUDGE BURPEE TO-DAY

John Fitzpatrick, a one-armed young man. who arrived in Waterbury on Wednesday, was prisoner in the dock in the police court to-day. His general appearance denoted that he is familiar with hopping freights. Fhe day he arrived here he was arrested, but was let go by Chief Egan on con- dition that he would leave town. Last night he was drunk and was arrested by Officer Mulhngs. Judge Burpee fined him ST and costs, but the sen tenca does not 90 into effect until to- morvsw. thus allowing Fitzpatrick a dav to get out of town. John Flynn, arrested by Officer Mullings last night, was fined $5 and costs.

SCHOOL INSPECTOR BUSY
Janitors Doing the Work Formerly
 Done by Pointers.

School Inspector Tyrrell is having a lot of trouble with his help, but he does not seem to mind it. On the con-
 traly it agrees with him, and if the trouble keeps pouring in on him he soon will be so plethoric that he will
 not have room on his bicycle and will want an automobile. One of the lat est shots fired at the inspector was
 that he "docked" the carpenters for Independence day, but Clerk F'itzger- aid declares this to be untrue and says that the inspector has nothing to do with making up the payroll. The board fixes the price and the clerk does the rest. That settles that but on it's heels come mutterings of discontent from the janitors, who claim that for the first time in the history of the schools they are obliged to convert themselves into painters and as q re suit the union men will not recognize them. They claim that the inspector insisted upon having them take hold of the brush and paint the pipes and boilers during vacation, work which until the present time was attended to by regular painters. The janitors are very angry over this additional la Dor, but the inspector thinks 1t pro- per caper and perhaps 1t is, too. Any way, between keeping tabs on the jan itOrs and lending a hand in further ance of the anti -Durant campaign in the fourth ward, the inspector is not letting the grass grow under his feet l and when the janitors kick about not having vacation the inspector can hold up his hands and proclaim truth fully that he isn't having any himself

It Needs No Bush tn Sell Good Wine

'. In earlier days it was customary to put out, at taverns, bush, as a sign that wine was sold there. Tn those days the country was but thinly settled and there was few newspapers to ad- vertise in, so the people depended on each other to hear the news and to pass on the merits of their purchases. Now adays the people read the newspapers and look there, mot only to find the passing events, but also to find articles they are in need of, advertised. Browns Quickfire Charcoal needs no pralse to those who have used it, but our sign, the daily papers, that we may get new customers to extol it's good qualities.

Train on a bench surrounded by a
group of little ones.
Mr.. Trains last misadventure occur
red last summer, when he was quar-
antined at Stamford, Conn, in a small
pox isolation camp and threa tened that
city with a suit for $50 600 damages. He
was the author of at least forty books
and frequently asserted that his
psychic power eventually would make
him the most potent sovereign of the
earth.
AT OMAHA
Omaha, Neb., Jan. 19-George Francis
Train came to Omaha in the early six
ties and at once became prominent in
business affairs. 1t was he who con-
ceived the idea of constructing the
Union Pacific railroad. He laid out a
number of additions to the city and
here organized the Credit Foncier and
Credit Mobilier for the purpose of rails
ing money to finance the Union Pacific.
From here he started on his trip around
the world. which he made in eighty
days. Subsequently he lost most of his
Omaha holdings and when he left for
the east some thirty years ago was a
comparatively poor man.
The last time that Mr.. Train was il
Omaha was during the worlds fair at
Chicago. At that time he had a scheme
to take 5000 Omaha school children to
the fair. The scheme fell through, and
he said he would never visit the city
again. He has a cousin residing here.
