PONY AND CART HERE.
Elks B-g Bazaar Parade Will be Held
 Monday Night.

The Elks' committee of arrange
 ments for the big fair and carnival
 held another rousing meeting last
 night and gave big push to the de
 tails of what they expect to be the big
 gest fair in Waterbury's history. The
 line of march will be as follows: Leave
 Auditorium Monday night at o'clock
 sharp, thence up South Main to Ex-
 change place, to East Main to Stanley
 park, countermarch to Exchange place,
 to Bank, where the parade will rest to
 witness the big diving feat on the old
 Rink property; thence down Grand street to Auditorium. It is very neces-
 sary that every Elk in the city should
 be on hand at about 7:30 so that the
 arrangements for forming the line and
 other essentials should be completed in
 time to move, promptly at 8, and then return to the Auditorium to listen to the opening address of the Hon George l.. Lilley of the lodge.
 A feature of the parade will be something to remind a fellow of the days when he was a kid, around Hal lowe'en time. The American band i will head the line and the pony Dixie" 1 will hold a prominent place. And this I pretty little animal has set thumping
 the hearts of Waterbuly's and Manga 1 tuck s thousands of boys and girls
 and tickets are in lively demand. He
 was on the streets yesterday with a | bunch of little girls and will make a
 parade for himself from now on every day till the big carnival closes. It 1 is very probable that the committee will arrange a children's matinee on some date to be later announced. The
 Auditorium interior will be blaze of l light and beauty. Lady lcanvassers are requested to procure season tickets for themselves and escorts, Monday, l Ey applying to Secretary E. D. Boards l lee at the Boston Furniture Co.'S of i flee. Everything in relation to the rental of booths is in charge of Robert l Mackie, in the J. D. Smith building
 49, Benedict street. Everybody IS asked to look at the big display Satur- day night in Curran's mammoth south window. The beautiful hand-painted screen, presented by Mrs M. J. Colloty l of 49 Central avenue, will form part i of this exhibit. But the big ticket, 1 the $2.000 book for ten cents, is the 1 main thing It is by far the best
 ever issued in New England at 10 cents
 chance and on it the lodge places it's hopes of success. Large numbers of books. have been distributed and Sec retary Beardslee will supply all more 1 that will be needed. The drawings 1 will be in charge of a committee of l Waterbury's most prominent citizens. 1 Any night at the Elks' fair will be one 1 of pleasure.

BLINK AND I

are friends again." said the man with the copper nose, as he counted out ten cents for bag of BROWNS QUICK FIRE CHARCOAL.
 ''Knipp," says Blink, II did not realize who it was coming out of church until passed by. If I saw you coming out of saloon with hat on the back of your head and cigar between your fingers, with a happy look on your face, or coming from the side door of drug store gazing with an interesting look at the clouds, then I would have recognized you; but com ing out of church with, meek look and accompanied by your wife was too unconventional for you, Knipp.''

Mrs Mary Neil was granted di- yorce by Judge Roraback in the SUI perior court this forenoon. This was the only divorce case heard of the three that were on the list.

 court martial and sentenced to impris-
 onment at Fort Leayenworth, Kan. Notwithstanding that he had treated her brutally, and despite his record
 during the short time he was in tha army, his wife still cherished the idea that she could reform him. So with that idea she got into correspondence with the army authorities and sue ceeded in getting him out. He was dismissed from the service, Troop l, Fourteenth U s. cavalry. Back homs
 he came. Mrs Neil was then keeping
 house for Joseph Schoonmaker, 96 High street. Schoonmaker having once been q soldier himself. had fel- low feeling for Neil and took him into his house on the condition that Mrs
 Neil should do the housework and pay $2 week for their board.
 .sHe laid around the house fourteen weeks," said Schoonmaker on the wit
 ness stand. "and then I got him a job with the Waterbury Lumber and Coal Co. He worked two days, and then l
 told him to get out, for was tired of him and of the way he treated his wife. He blacked her eyes, knocked her teeth out and knocked her down. Neil then disappeared, leaving q 1 board bill of BPS due. He was sober man but he had terrible temper. Catherine Schoonmaker, daughter oi l the above named witness, also testified l to witnessing acts of cruelty. Besides divorce Mrs Neil was also given the
 custody of her one child, Walter, aged
 2 years.

Protect the Birds.

Sportsmen on hunting trips are
in the habit of shooting birds that
can in no sense be considered game,
9 IMPLY for practice. 1t is undoubl-
edIy q fact that large numbers of
red birda, jay birds, tlickers, sap
suckers, wood peckers, thrushcs,
black birds, sat birds, ballbats
and birds Of like character are de-
siroyed every year. Without con-
q dering the aesthetic side of the
question:, such birds should not be
k | ed. From an economic stand
polnt they are of great value 70 the
public in the way of worm and in
sect destroyers. 1t is said tha, a
drove of Bullbats are of more value
to malarial district tn; n a grove
of quiulne trees, for the simple fact
that in the spring and summer their
diet consists principally of mo>qui>
toes. Aud to kill these valuable
servants for practice IN shooting is
a practice that no true sportsman
will engage in. Let us hope that ii
Is the result of thoughtlessnese.
This appeal is made to the sports-
men OF Mississippi to ask them to
consider the great value of the non.
game birds aud it is believed thai
they will hot only abstain from
killing such birds hut will preach
the gospel OF protection al all time.
