FARM HANDS SCARCE.
English Speaking LabOrers Not Avail-
 able in Waterbury.

A man who does a big business in securing help for farmers, said to-day that he can furnish places for all the men be can get hold of at $20 month and board. There is-no English speak ing labor available in Waterbury now" he said, 'and for that matter it has been scarce for the past ten or fifteen years so far as farm work Is con cerned. deal principally with Poland- CTS, Iithuanians, Swedes, Hungar1anS and Slavs. The Italians are good work, CTS but the farmers don't Ike them so well as the others. The Hungarians and Swedes are the best of all. They stick to it and in time they get nold of farms themselves. When 1 was boy l knew every farmer within twenty miles of Waterbury. At that time with very few exceptions the farmers were Americans, but 1t Is different now, Hungarians, Swedes. Polanders, Ger mans. French and Slavs being in pos- session of some of the finest farms in this part of the state and many of them are maKng 1t pay. The Irish, Scotch and English don't seem to be able to compete with other races on the farms. They have a hankering for city life and prefer to work in a shop or store for anything they can get than hustle
 
 them with a farmer he stays only until something turns up in the city and then he packs up and leaves if the hay crop was on the ground. It is the same way with the women folks. Except in very rare cases you cannot get an Eng fish speaking girl to stay on a farm, and as a result non-English speaking domestics are in big dentand. They make good help, too, and they put their earnings to good account. A few years ago couple of Slavs, brother and sis ter, came to me looking for places i'll the country. got them jobs. and thls present week had an application from them for three laborers They saved their money and bought place of their own. To be sure the most prosperous farmers in the state are still the Yan- kees and other English speaking peo- pie, but the Germans, Swedes and Hun garians are closing in on Inem and inside of ten years I think the old timers will have been relegated to the rear and practically all the farms of the state win have passed over to what we commonly term foreigners. There Is good field for all tue new corners on the farms and if they could be di- xected into the rural district instead of huddling together in the crowded cen JefB It WOUu DS d ROOu lnluB 1Ur bn6A- selves and everybody sAlse."
 No doubt there is a lot of truth in this. but 1t is not at all likely that the Yankee farmer is to become thing of the past in the near future, If ever. He may not make as much noise as some of his neighbors, but all the same ne is more than a match for the best of them and some Of us will have to see his dn- ish as a farmer before we will believe that he has been outclassed at the business.

 The schooner Abbie and Eva Hooner Of Boston struck on Black Ledge. New London, yesterday morning while leay- ing the harbor. She Is leaking, but is not in a dangerous condition. She was bound from Philadelphia to Boston with a cargo of AS tons of soft coal. aA body supposed to be that of Pat. rick Hughes was found on the tracks of the Berkshire division, New Haven, at an early hour to-day. The body was horribly mangled and is almost beyond recognition. Medical Examiner Bart lett thinks that death was accidental, due to being run over by train.
 James M. Belden, q coal dealer of New Britain, is entitled to recover at famine prices for coal which he deIiv- cred to the Consolidated school district of New Britain during the coal strike. This is the effect of a decision filed by Judge Wheeler yesterday, for MT Bel den to recover $SlS.45 from the school district. The district alleged that MT Belden was under contract to furnish coal at a contract price. Mir Belden denied the existence of a contract and alleged that he was entitled to tue market prices that prevailed at the time the coal was delivered,

SPILLED THE BEER
 AND DOUSED THE MAN

There came near being a riot in the vacant lot off Canal street this morn ang. A crowd of men were sitting around on a pile of stone with big pail of lager in the center of the group. One fellow was passing 1t about in a glass and after giving ev- erybody a swallow he looked into the vessel and seeing that there was not much left he put the pau to his head and was having good libation, when somebody threw a stick of wood from behind & board fence nearby and hit the pail on the bottom. knocking 1t out of the mans hand and spilling the contents over him. The thing shocked the whole party, and especially the fellow who got the ducking. It was natural that he should blame some one fin the crowd, but everybody stoutly denied any knowledge of whence the missile came. This made the man all the madder, but considering the provo cation to anger he. took 1t pretty well, letting it go with a little speech that could have been heard half mile sway.

ONCE PRISONERS OF WAR.
George Robbins of Waterbury Was
 Elected President Yesterday.

The twenty-second annual meeting of the Prisoners of War ass0cia- ton of the state of Connecticut was held in Grand Army hall in the Brown Thompson building yesterday. The meeting opened at about III o'clock with prayer by the chaplain, Charles Dixon. A motion was made that the time of the annual meeting be chang ed from Flag day, June If, to Fast day, in April. Last year the meeting was held February %, but the weather at that season is not suitable for the older members to attend. Fast day was decided upon for the tim9 for the next meeting.
 There was quite lively discussion over the election of officers for the ensuing year. It has been customary to promote the first vice-president tc be president. Some thought that the officers ought to be elected at large and that this custom of handing the offices down from year to year should be abandoned. A ballot was taken and last years vice-president was elected president. The officers elect. ed are:
 President-George Robbins. Water. bury.
 First Vice President-George D. Denison, Hartford.
 Second Vice President George Glo- yer, Windsor Locks.
 Secretary and Treasurer-C. A. O Norton, Hartford.
 George o Whitney, who has been secretary for the past ten years, de. clined to serve longer, saying he thought he had held the offce long enough and that some of the members to he dissatisfiedrwith the way he had conducted the business of the associa- ton. Several efforts were made to have him retain the office, but he ab- solutely refused to do so under any conditions.
 The committee appointed last year to look into the pension question was called upon to report. 1t was said they had not been able to do anything and were dismissed. A recess was then taken for dinner.
 Dinner was served in the hall. to the members and invited guests. At ? o'clock they assembled for the after noon session. A short address was delivered by Professor J. J. McCook on Pictures from Memory" The other invited guests were Rev Charles W. Mccormick, Rev Dr William IT. Main and Rev George IL. Clark of Wethersfeld

COMPLAINT ABOUT DOGS.
Sanitary Inspector Moses Called to
 Maple Street To-Day.

Sanitary Inspector Moses was called to Maple street to-day to investigate q complaint regarding the presence of eleven dogs on the third veranda of q house in that street In addition to
 rendering it out of the question for anybody to sleep, the sanitary condi- tions were considered far below what they ought to be and the inspector was beseeched to rid the neighborhood of the nuisance MT Moses has decided that the owners Of the pets will have to find some other stamping ground for them. It is no place for kennel and probably the parties didn't intend to make a permanent abiding place of 1t for dogs, anyway. Speaking about dogs, brings up the question that the streets are full of CUTS of every de- scription and as nothing has been done to compel people to register them the animals have become so bold that 1t
 requires q stiff fight to get past sev- eral houses without being bitten. A travelling man who toured several streets this week said that the dog nuisance in Waterbury was the worst thing of the kind. he had noticed in any town in the country, and he claimed to have travelled parts of ev- cry state in the union. What made him madder than anything else was to see owners of dogs sitting on the porches or standing in their yards bubbling over with laughter at the tus- sle between him and the dogs.
