PARADE AND FIELD
 DAY BEARS FRUIT

That the state parade and field day of the Catholic Total Abstinence union has proved a success in more ways than one is easily seen by the large number of applications received by the St Joseph's T. A. society for member ship in it's ranks
 AS it is probably known, the princf- pal reason for holding this annual event is to promote the cause of tenn perance, by coming before the public in this manner and letting it know what grand and benificent organiza- ton the c. T. A. U. is.
 At the last convention of the O. T. A. U. held in Norwalk, when it voted unanimously to hold the parade and field day in Waterbury it evidently knew that this city needed a little stirring up in the temperance cause With this object in view the members of St Josephs society intend to get to work and see if they can't build up the membership of their society in or der to compare favorably with the larger societies in the O. T. A. U.. The society has beautiful club house, situated at the corner of East Main and Maple streets, where it is always Willing to receive those who are eligi- ble to become members.
 To become a member of the society a person should be eighteen years of age or upwards.
 The society will hold it's regular monthly meeting this evening at st Patrick's hall at 8 D. m., where it will be only too. we'll pleased to receive those who are desirous of becoming members.
 The annual election of officers will also take place at this meeting.

HUSBAND RETURNS.
wife Was Under Arrest Several Days
 for His Murder.


 Chicago, June 27.-Coming as from the dead after he had been reported as murdered. and after his wife had been held by the police several days on sus- picion of knowing something of her husbands disappearance, Stefan Bis- zak has unexectedly returned to his old home.
 When body weighted with rail- road iron was taken out of the Hi nois and Michigan canal May 13 it was identified by Mrs Biszak as that of her husband who had disappeared some time before. Finally she was placed under arrest but there was no evidence to connect the woman with the murder and she was released.
 The return of BisZak, who says he has been in St Paul, but refuses to dis- cuss his case further, deepens the mystery surrounding the identity or the body found in the canal and the manner of that mans death.

BIG BUSINESS ON
 BALDWIN STREET

The Baldwin street trolley is doing big business. and in order to make the schedule of that road agree with the others the company has found it necessary to stop only at the intersec- ton of streets and few other places along the route These stopping places have been designated by painting the poles white so that from now on the people who want to get on or off the ears should keep a look out for these white poles and the intersection of streets. Superintendent Wales said to- day that this was absolutely necessary on account of the number of stops the car had to make along the way, espe- ctally evenings and on Sunday He said that the stopping places are not too far apart to prevent good service and that after people become accus- toned to them they will not notice the new order of things It is the same on the Waterville line and on the Nauga- tuck and nobody finds it any inconven- fence.

Automobile conaumption oure.

Motor car exercise will cure consump- tion, says Dr. Blanchet, of Lyons. He speaks from personal experience, having recovered his own health by regularly covering about 100 miles day in an open motor car. He ayers that by this remedy the cough of tuberculosis pa tients Is gradually abolished, or greatly diminished. and healthy sleep and ap- petite produced. It is most essential that the body should be duly protected from cold. The clements of the cure are the long stay in the open air and the increased atmospheric pressure, due to the rapid motion. which expands and strengthens the lungs.-London Mail

The town Of Athol, Mass, takes its
place among the growing list of commu-
mites which refuse to accept the beneyo-
Ienee Of the Scotsman, Andrew Carnegie.
IT is not generally the pride Of the com
munity which prompts it to refuse the
offer Of library building, but ii Is the
provisions that the donor tacks onto the
gift. lie STIMULATES that the city. town
or village which accepts Of bis beneyo-
lence shall annually provide sum,
amounting to a certain percentage OF the
total gift, for the maintenance of the
library This amount is generally Ave
percent Of the gift For instance, if
total sum of $4,000 il presented, then
Mr.. Carnegie asks that $4,000 shall be
expended each year, BY the town, to pro-
vide for keeping up the institution which
bears his name The smaller eommuni-
ties find IT particularly burdensome TO
furnish So large an amount annually for
library purposes. Mr.. Carnegie attempts
70 get around that By making his gifts
to the small places small il proportion,

PARKER CUTS NEW YORK

The action of the democratic conven- tion at Albany is believed to practically insure the nomination of Judge Parker by the democrats. It is believed that he will receive the support of all the conservative democrats in the country, aside from a few votes in the New Eng land states, which will be given to Richard Olney on the first ballot.
 All factions of the New York demo- cratic party, including Tammany, are pleased with the result of the state con- vention.
