She gave me some Cuticura Ointment = think the box was about half full - and piece of Cuticura Soap. I followed the directions. bathing Charlie and putting that nice Ointment on the sores. Little by little, but so surely, Charlie and I both got more peace by day and more sleep by night. The sores sort of dried up and went away, and now Charlie is cured com pletcly."
 Yes. that fat little boy by the win- dow is Charlie, and his skin is as white as snow flake, thanks to the Cuticura Remedies. I think everybody should know about the Soap and Ointment, and if it is going to help other mothers with sick babies, go ahead and publish what I have told you"

 The City of Celibates' is to be founded within a few miles of Provo. Utah, and the foundation will be laid within the next few days.

These men, eight in number, are looked upon as the founders of this new city, which will allow no woman within it's walls.
 About o'clock this morning a party of men, much resembling Italian bri- gands as portrayed in comic opera, entered the America House. They had gold rings in their ears, wore shirts of a spectacular hue, corduroy suits and wide brimmed hats. One man, who was civilized up to the chin-that is, clad in

THE WATER QUESTION.
Movement Under Way to flake The
 Rates aore Uniform.

A movement is now we'll under way by prominent citizens for a conferences with the city fathers on the question of water rates. The men behind the petition believe that bills should be rendered once a month instead of semi-annually and that meters should record in gallons instead of cubic feet, as they now do. They will ask for a fiat rate of a cent and half per 100 gallons of water for the summer sea. son and something less than that dur ing the winter, when water is said to be running over the spillways at the rate of millions of gallons per day. They may not get all they are looking for, but it is fair to assume that some changes will be made which will make the rates more equitable and uniform than the ones now in use, which con- pels small consumers to pay 8 cents per 100 gallons for practically all the water used through meters, while peo- pie using more than that per day get it at. greatly reduced rates. By the closest economy small family may get along on a hundred gallons of water each day, although it is said that the average for Waterbury is consid- erably over that, but it should be re- membered that in making computation
 
 been tried, for the enormous quantities used for manufacturing and other pun poses are figured in and the rating made on the basis of so much per cap ita according to the population, which is all well enough in way, but con veys no accurate information regard, ing the amount of water used or need ed for domestic use. There may be some objection to the rendering of bills monthly beacuse it would neces- sarily entail the employment of a large office force. It makes no difference whether meters register by cubic feet or gallons. Multiply your cubic feet by 71b and you have the total amount of the reading in gallons, so that un- less the parties having this matter in hand can show some reason which does not appear on the surface for a change on this point there does not appear to be much to it. The main question is the schedule of prices, and if justice is to be done move should be made in that direction as soon as possible Certainly a new schedule of prices should be adopted before meters are installed in ordinary tenement houses and the cost of the meters to consumers using less than $25 worth of water in year abolished. There is no special objection to meters, the fight being confined principally to the in, equality in rates.

JOHN FINDERS IS
 EIGHTY-ONR

John Finders, 8 we'll known. local man, who appears to have been Dst sight of in Waterbury fol some tf1le past, was in town yesterday looking as bright and chipper as a. schoolboy, ai- though he has passed the eighty first milestone and has gone through enough to kill a dozen men. He has just returned from a trip all over the southern and western states as dog trainer for a canine show and says that were it not that he felt too old to hop and skip about with the CUTS he would have continued at the business right along. Finders has some charm for dogs which draws them to him the minute he opens his mouth and rarely if ever is he seen without a pretty little terrier trott1ng close to his heels He is an old soldier and has a splen- did war record in the service Of the United States and thinks the country now owes himta living. He wants to get into the national home and he is of the opinion that Superintendent Doran can get him there if he wants to. Tn the meantime he will cali upon his old friends in Waterbury, where he claimed residence for nearIy fifty years.

IN THE POLICE COURT.
Wanderirs Gathered in Were Given
 Sentences This Mornins.

The town appears to be> overrun with strangers of the kind that have no vis. lDle means of support. During the past few days a number of men of this character have been before the city court, and this morning of the halr dozen that were there only one was 4 local man. This one was Frank Stone. who repudiated the charge of his being common drunkard. Stones idea Of common drunkard is one that drinks all the time, whereas, he contended. he has been before the court only four times this year, and each time waA convicted. Stone went to the station house last night and was locked s1p at his own request. Sergeant Pagan this morning read his record to the court. It covers three or four pages Of the book. Judge Burpee remarked that h4, knew him we'll for the past twenty years. The sentence he imposed was 24Hdays on the double charge Of being drunk and being a common tlrunkarn. He found he had exceeded the maxi mum sentence and reduced it to the limit, 190 days in Brookside.
 John Gleason and John Horan have been doing the city, for the past few days. Last evening Officer DonAhue got hls business eye on Gleason and ar- rested him just as he was getting money from man whose heart he had touched with his pitiful plea. Both were charged with vagrancy and ,in-N toxication and they were given sixty days each.
 William Hickey of Lynn. Mass. was found in hallway by Officer Madden this morning sleeping off the effects ot excessive drink. He was fined S5 and costs and put on probation thirty days. .

MONSTER STEAM SHOVEL
 AT PLATES MILLS

The largest steam shovel ever seen in this part of the country was set up at Platt's Mills yesterday by Gontrac- tor John O'Brien of New York, who has the contract for improvements on the Consolidated railroad from Bridge port to Waterbury. It is the biggest thing that ever stuck its nose Into sand bank, and Railroad Hill and oth- CT high spots between here and P1att's Mills will disappear before it just as quickly as similar Instructions farther down faded away after it was let loose upon them. The steam shovel which demolished Benedirts hill, where the New England Watch fac tory now stands. was no more than an ordinary snow shovel in conpariso to 0'Brien's monster.

BOARD OF SAFETY.
Out of Four Applications for Callmen
 Three Were Elected.

The board of public safety held a
 special meeting last evening, called by the mayor for the purpose of disposing of business that has been accommodating for some time. The meeting was brief and executive. The resignation or Driver John Devoy of No engine company on Washington avenue made four vacancies in the fire department. A number of applicants to fill these places were examined last evening. They were William Fogarty, an em- ploye of the Waterbury Rubber Tire Coach Go; Charles H. Booth, 8 driver for Alderman R. N. Blakeslee; John J..
 Mates, who was once elected but af- forwards had to resign for the techni- cal reason that he was not voter, and
 John McVerry. This made four men
 looking for three positions, an unusual ly low percentage of men after a job. The first three named were elected callmen.
 John Devoy's resignation was not
 accepted. According to the rules Of
 the department 1t was not before the
 board. To have it so 1t should have
 been five days in the hands of the right authority, the chief of the fire department, or the captain of the com pany the man belonged to. A week ago last evening Devoy was reported by Captain McEvoy to have been in subordinate and abusive, and last Sat urday he handed in his resignation, to take effect immediately. Tn view of the regular formula not having been carried out the board did not accept the resignation, but dismissed Devoy from the department. Captain Nc. Evoy was on hand and stated the cirs cumstances of the case, which were told in the Democrat's report of the last meeting Of the board. Briefly, De voy had dog on the engine house premises, and Captain McEyoy warned him that he had better have 1t re- moved. Devoy became abusive there
