TO PREVENT "coRKED" WINE
Skilled Workmen Employed to Re- place Shoppers in Bottles of
 the Costly Beverage.

Tn the cool, dim wine cellar two skilled workmen were removing the old corks from bottles of wine and fitting new corks in their places. Hundreds of bottles of red and white wine were ranged before the men, and they worked slowly and careful ly.
 we have to be careful" said the younger of the two, for some of this wine is worth $10 and SIP quart. Don't you know why we are changing the corks? No? We'll. then, I'll tell you.
 "We are changing them to prevent the wine from getting 'corked.' The expression 'corked wine' doesn't mean that wine tastes of cork, but that it tastes of mould. Mould forms slowly on the inside of wine corks, and in a few years time it grows sufficiently powerful to reach the wine itself-to give to it a mouldy, musty taste, That is why it is necessary, every three or four years, to change the corks of wine bottles. If we don't change them the wine gets corked, gets ruined.
 Men who are expert enough to do this delicate recording work among rare and costly wines never stand in need of high priced jobs"

LIBRARY roo SMALL.
Committee Appointed to Look Up
 District Court Matters.

.
 Business i'll the superior court has grown to such proportions that it has been found necessary to make some changes in the building, and at bar meeting in the district court this morning Attorney O'Neill moved that the bar take some action to bring about proper accommodations. He said that the library, for instance, has become far too small for the amount of books now in 1t. and that it is a very difficult matter now to put any more books there. When the library was first established it was thought the present room would be sufficient for years, but it has filled up more rapidly than anyone expected. He sug- gested that committee of three be appointed to inquire into the matter, to see the county commissioners and make some recommendations to that body to relieve the congested state of the library. Attorney Bronson sec onded the motion and nominated MT O'Neill
 Judge Cowell appointed Judge Bur- pee, City Attorney Kellogg and Mir O'Neill. Attorney Gillette suggested that it would be better to build an- other story to the building, while MT O'Neill thought that steel shelves, such as are in use in the library in the capitol, would be very good. They would take up very little room and would be quite handy. However, there are so many ways of acquiring the desired conditions 1t would be bet ter. he said. for the bar to hold spe- cfal meeting some day next week. At torney Byrne suggested next Saturday and it was decided to meet on the af- ternoon of that day.
 Judge Peasley paid a fine compli- ment to Janitor Magraw. who has charge of the library. He said there would be plenty of room for lots of more books but for the vigor with which the janftor chases up the miss ing books among the lawyers offices.
 The arrangement of business for the next few weeks in the district court was made this morning as fol- lows: The city vs Rafter and the Apothecaries' Hall Go against Patrick Thompson, June 2; B. c. Wade vs Philip Aperian. John E. Maher vs Isaac Brown and Anthony Mazuka vs George Prinwitch, June 3; Watertown Savings bank against B. H. Mattoon ct al, June s; Eastern Expanded Metal Co vs Lewis A. Pldtt, June 13, and the New York Evening Journal against Elizabeth Mccarthy, June IT.

 A consignment of the famous Metz motor cycles have just arrived at You- mans store, 251 South Main street. This machine has the reputation of be- ing one of the best on the market. 1t is equipped with the latest and most modern appliances and is a model ma- chine of it's kind. Peole who intend to purchase q machine of this nature would do well to call and look over the Metz motor cycle.
 A leak in one of the water mains in the north end caused drop of about ten pounds pressure in the service and as result water consumers In that part of the town have been wondering if the supply was giving out. A simi- lar situation was created in all the high parts of the city Wednesday by break in main at Scovill's. People on the low grounds where the pressure is always good, didn't notice these things at all and could scarcely be- Heve those who claimed that some thing had gone wrong.
 Antonio Gine1la who formerly lived here has been arrested in New York by United States Marshal Shields on charge of false naturalization Gin ella was returning from a trip to his old home in Italy and was held for ex- animation by the United States off, cers. He claimed to have taken out his naturalization papers in this city some time ago and that he came to the country in 1897. The officials. how ever, insist that they are able to prove that he did not come here until 1898. Ginella is we'll known here The dis trict court officials are looking up the matter.
 Contractor Taylor, to whom was awarded the contract for the high ser vice water mains is getting his para- phernalia on the ground, including Ia- Dor and will soon commence opera tions. Between out of town carpen- ters for the Master Builders associa- tfon, and workmen for Massachusetts men who have the contracts for all the water mains the city is flooded with newcomers and old timers rarely meet with a familiar face. Waterbury is fast becoming quite a cosmopolitan town and if men keep leaving and others coming in at the rate the busi- ness is now going on soon people will not know soul at all.

The strike of the freight handlers in New York was rather expensive to a number of business men and manu- lecturers in this city. Goods which had been shipped by freight came by express and express is a good deal more expensive. For instance one merchant received on Friday morning two barrels of goods by express and the expressage was about $50. Tn the afternoon he received two barrels of the same goods by freight and the freight bill was about $1O.
