HOSPITAL AT BROOKSIDE,.
New Administration May Experiment
 in That Line.

Big things are expected from the new board of charities in certain quarters, especially in matters per taining to the Brookside home and hospitals. It is understood that an effort will be made to establish first class hospital at the Brookside home, where the poor of the town who need treatment that cannot be applied to advantage at home will be sent in- stead of to the private hospitals. It is thought that it can be done much cheaper than under the other plan and that the result win be just as sat fsfactory. This will necessitate the employment of some trained nurses. and it goes without saying that tie city physician will have his hands full, too, though, to be sure, 1t is ex- pected that the local medical society will lend hand from time to time according as additional assistance is needed. While nothing definite has been done in. this direction, it has been talked of and many think favorably of it. If such project should be car- ried out 1t would take some patron age from the Waterbury hospital and this is where the objection comes in. The friends of the Waterbury hospital claim that the $5 a week charged the city for patients is less than similar treatment can be had elsewhere, and take the ground that if an effort is made to establish a hospital at the Brookside home it will be nothing but n makeshift. Advocates of the new departure say that it should De given trial regardless of how it affects the Waterbury hospital and the1 if 1t can be shown that it does not pay 1t can be abandoned without any serious loss.

.JOHNSON'S VICTORY.
City of Cleveland, After Long Fight,
 Gets Three Cent Fare.

CLEVELAND, O., Jan. IA. = Ar agreement between Mayor Johnson and the officials of the Cleveland Elec- tric Railway company for the estab- lishment of the three cent fare within the city of Cleveland in accordance with the terms of the McKenna ordi- nance passed by the city council will be ratified by the directors of the rail- road company at meeting which has been called for today. The agreement is practically full victory for Mayor Johnson in the fight that he has waged for nearly three years.
 The McKenna ordinance, it has been learned, was drawn with the full cog nizance and consent of the railroad of ficials. It provides for straight three cent care within certain limits. These limits are at many points CO extensive with the city limits and are at no point more than half a mile with in the municipal boundaries. Within these limits straight three cent fare is to be charged This does not enti- tie a passenger to a transfer. For a transfer Ave cent fare must be paid, as at present.
 Without the McKenna limits passen- gers from the extrenities of the city and from the suburbs are to pay 5 cents, as at present. On this fare like wise no transfer will be given. For a transfer an excess fare of 2 cents will be charged, making the total fare z cents. &
 The result of careful study of the passengers now carried on the lines of the company shows that S5 per cent will pay 8 cents, F per cent will pay cents and per cent will pay cents
