WRESTLING.
THIS WAS
 FIASCO
The Carnival In Nausatuck Last Night a Queer One One Preliminary Good, the Rest Bad.

Naugatuck, Dec 10 The wrestling carnival. so advertised for the past few weeks, was pulled of last night In the Gem opera house here, and the 200 people who were present were not only disappointed but were evidently buncoed, for not one of the matches, with the possible exception of the one between Pickett of Waterbury ana Lawson of Naugatuck, was worth the price of admission. For the past few days some of the sports in Waterbury have been acquainted with the fact that there was an evident intention OF the part of some connected with the matches to fool the people, That this was carried out was evidenced In the matches last night. Manager Staple ton of Naugatuck. who conducted the afrair, was in no way to blame for tnls was possible for him to make in order enjoy some good wrestling. How those who attended the event were taken 1h is best evidenced by the reinarks mad4. in Waterbury and here in Naugatuck by the majority of those who were presenE The main contest. so those people say, was fake pure and sim pie, and the referee should have stopped the bout and made the men wrestle or called on the promoters ro give the people back their money. Only yesterday one of the sports of Water. bury lntimated, he had been given pretty good information that things were not on the level. This request was refused because sufficient evidence yE,e Y1fnt %Fa znc&& &. warrant an expose, However, that <is not here nor there; the matches were pulled of and while q taint of sus, picion may rest ou them. Manager Sta pleton must be exonerated from all blame.
 The first preliminary, between PauS Fisher of Waterbury and young Mo- Loud of Naugatuck, was tame af. fair Neither one of them knew the first rudiments of wrestling and played tag with each other for one-half hour. when their time was up.
 Dan Pickett of Waterbury md Charles Lawson of Naugatuck got to. gether for the second preliminary. Pickett was to throw Lawson twice in a half hour. Pickett was the aggres. sor throughout and Lawson proved himself a good defensive wrestler This match created the only exeife meht of the night and was evidently fought out on the level! Pickett failed to get a fall,
 The main contest of the evening, be- tween John E. Kelly of. Waterbury and Frank Speh of Derby was the flasco of the evening. Kelly agreed to throw Speh three times in one hour, and if Kelly had wrestled as he used to wFestle he could have thrown Speh as many times as he desired. Speh was in good condition; Kelly was not Kelly was the aggressor, although not in condition, while Speh trained 10 the hour. satisfied himself with actiug oll the defensive. It was the rawest wrestling ever witnessed on a mat be- tween two presumably clever men When the, hour in which they were to wrestle had ended the spectators left the hall wondering why they had come. Kelly had not secured even one fall when the time was up, and if the bout had lasted until midnight he probably would still be toying with Speh. with no evidence of fall in sight.

AFRAID OF PUBLICITY.

For many years it has been the Gus
tom at this season for the presidents
cabinet officers to give the neWspa-
pers information about the estimated
expenses Of their offices for the next
year. But it seems that President
Roosevelt is afraid of the publicity
he has talked so much about, for on
September 9th, he issued this order
to all the departments at Washing
ton:
'sBy direction of the president, Off
Gals will neither discuss nor give out
any information regarding the annu-
al estimates until further notice. =
Why was that unusual order issued
on September 9th? Because the DEM
ocratic candidate for president turned
the light on republican extravaganza
when he spoke to the visiting demo-
cratic editors the day before -Septem-
Der sth. Judge Parker said:
During Mr.. Cleveland's first term
the average annual expenditure was
about 1869, 100000. For the last three
years it has been about S5l9,Oo0,O00.
The governmental expenditure last
year amounted up to 1852, 900,
which is not equaled by any year
since the civil war, with the excep-
ton of the year of the Spanish war.
There is an inevitable result to such
extravaganza. Instead of surplus
in the annual receipts of about $780,
100000, which the present executive
found on assuming control, there is
now a deficit to be found there Of
s42, 900, 00O.'
This is not the kind Of ''publicity'
President Roosevelt wants during the
campaign. He does not want the
people to know how their money is
being wasted. So he tells his cabinet
officers to keep mum until further
notice.

PROJECT IS FEASIBLE.

T. I'll. Newell, chief engineer Of the
United States reclamation service,
who recently spent several days in
Havre, has returned to Washington
and has submitted to the secretary of
the interior a report Of his obserya-
lions while in the west. In this re-
port he declares that the Milk river
canal project is feasible, but that GER
tain matters concerning land titles
and rights of way must be adjusted
before construction can be commence
ed.
Referring to the Milk river valley
the report says:
''This state, with its enormous eX-
tent of arid lands, offers a number Of
opportunities for reclamation. At
tention has been concentrated largely
upon the northern border, land particu-
larry in the Milk river valley, which
contains large areas Of vacant public
lands. Milk river has a small flow,
not receiving water from the noun
tains. 1t is proposed to reinforce this
flow by connecting the lakes at the
foot of the mountains with the head
waters of the river by relatively
short canal. The chief object is not
one of engineering, but of interna-
tional complication, since the upper
tributaries of Milk river, rising in
Montana, flow through portion OF
Canada, but returning again to the
United States. The question of the
propriety and feasibility of turning
water into the head Of Milk river, to
flow along the international boundary
on the Canadian side, is one which is
to be considered.
Surveys and estimates of costs OF
storing water in st. Mary lakes and
of taking this across the divide into
Milk river, have been continued, also
further examinations OF the possibill-
ty of utilizing the waters OF Milk rlV
er in the lower part of its course
these show that construction Is FEAST
BILE and the reclamatson OF many
thousand acres possible it certain
matters concerning land titles ane
rights of way can be SATISFACTORY,
adjusted.

IS feet in length. beneath the building,
while between these and the structure
were laid about 200 seven inch steel
needle beams. While this was going
on the face of the cliff was stepped
out into four benches Of about a thirty
foot lift each. The building was then
raised a little at a time by hand jacks
and the eight walls of timber crib work
built up beneath it. The blocking was
all carefully sized to by s inches. The
crib work was stiffened in both direc-
tions by means of by 8 inch walling
pieces, and it was sway braced by half
inch chains. with turnbuckles.
When the house had been lifted thir-
ty feet it was drawn on to the first
bench by means of two winches on the
top of the cliff, each driven by two
horses, two inch line with four part
blocks being used. Another lift of
thirty feet was then made to the next
bench, and the various operations were
repeated until the house was landed on
it's new site, POO feet back from the
old site and 100 feet above it.
AS may well be imagined, vast
amount Of timber was reQuiIed for this
work, amounting in all to 10000 care
fully sized sticks, which required twen-
ty cars to transport them. The actual
| cost of this house moving is not given
out, but it is we'll understood that it
considerably exceeds the original cost

Improvement on the Dance.

The following from some unknown
source is going the rounds for tile
'steenth time but it is good enough Ito
re print:
Cali dancers will be surprised 10
learn that there is something in store
for them that will relegate the macy
waltz to the back shelf, where the
cobwebs of obscurity will soon wave
their mantle around it, for 10 the hea ds
of New York and Washington society
have declared that "sitting OUT waltz
will be more fashionable than dancing.
The only difference is that you sit in
stead of dance. The mans right arm
is around the girls waist, while his left
hand holds her right. Her left hand is
placed upon his shoulder, while her
head alsolrests lovingly upon him and
all they have to do is to sit and listen
t. the music. We,have always regard
ed it nuisance to have to gallop a
mile or two to get good hing. A room
full of people sitting around on sofas
hugging to music is more to our notion.
This will give all the old rheumatic
brethren another chance to- waltz.
Most men dance, not for the dance, but
for the position, and while a man may
lose his appetite for dancing, he has to
get pretty old before he loses his ap.
petite for hugging pretty girl. We
are endeavoring to get the boys to put
on dance" of this kind and if they
do you can bet your last dollar that the
hall will be crowded."

Dwelling at Brown. station, Pa,
Raised 100 Feet.
Il Owing to changes to be made in the
line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
at Browns Station, Pa, it became nee
essary to either move or destroy the
house shown in the accompanying illus
tration. The house had been in the
family to which it now belongs for
many years, and sentiment forbade it's
destruction. Fortunately the owner had
as much money as sentiment, and he
decided to move it to the verge of the
cliff, 16O feet above it's former site,
where it would command a fine view
Of the Monongahela river and the sur
rounding country.
The difficulty of the task will be un-
derstood, says the Scientific Amer
ican, when it is stated that the build
ing measures IS by 40 feet and
weighs about 800 tons. The first op-
Grafton was to insert eight large TIM
bers. measuring IL by 16 inches and
