WANT ABATEFiENT.
LawysFs Appear for q Numbes efi
 aFeperey Owners.

The law committee met last night and listened to parties interested in the abatement of taxes and street as- sessments. John O'Neill appeared for property owners on Brook street, who feel that as the courts have decided that the assessment was illegal they should not be askedl to pay even though they did not appeal from the award of benefits and damages. There is an element of fairness in this which it is likely that the city fathers will recognize. 1T. F. Carmody appeared for the owners of the old engine house on Bank street, who want to straight en out the title to the property. This matter will be adjusted without any trouble. NJ. J. Byrne spoke for q lady who is blind and has bill for 8 street assessment which she thinks she ought not be obliged to settle for. The committee will report it's finding iI all cases to the aldermen.

So carefully were the arrangements made for the meeting of the half dozen senior members of the Water bury Bar association. held Saturday afternoon, and to keep from the public what took place there, that many law yers were in absolute ignorance Of what was going on among them until they saw papers yesterday afternoon. Now that they have been informed they all seem to agree that a change will be made in the personnel of the district court. It is fact that both Judge Coweu and Deputy Judge Peas ley are looking to their fences and that both of them are very likely to go down in tne political freshets of next spring, when the appointments will be made.
 @ While Judge Cowell has been identi- fled with the local bench during the past twenty-five years, Deputy Judge PeasIey's advent thereon was some what in the form of an accident. In the great campaign of four years ago Mir Peasley ran for representative on the republican ticket with George l.. Lilley. now congressman-at-large. While Mir Lilley went up, Mir Peasiey went down In that campaign. The prominence it gave him, however, was
  deputy judge of the district court. lt was a balm to his wounded feelings.
 Twenty-Five years ago Judge, Cowell was first appointed judge. About ten years later Attorney A. F. Bradstreet of ThomaEtou ran against him for the position. Calvin A Carter, a demo- crat, was representative from Water bury then. Judges were more In poli- ties then than now, and the appOint- ments were made by county cauCpseS in the legislature. The tide of politics was in Judge Cowell's favor, but Rep resentatiVe Garter made fight against him that is still remembered by the senior members of the Waterbury bar, Mir Garter took the nomination away from the county convention and onto the floor of the house, where he made a speech tIlat thrilled everyone Wheg heard it and resulted in the defeat of Judge Cowell. Eight or ten years ago the tide turned again in Junge CoWsiis 3 favor. He was then deputy judge of the district court, and he beat Judge Bradgtreat overwhelmingly Now 1t is said Judge CoWelk has Tor his most formidable opponent Judge Burpee. The lawyers say that if polt- tics is<to be taken into consideration in the selection of a judge, Judge Bur pee will be the choice. OtherWlse Gney would like to see his partner, Attorney Carmody, get the appointment From the kettle Of fish that is now boiling the probability is that If Judge CowelA is disturbed a position will be crested for him that will dull the keehness og his loss of office.
 It is said that there is a game on to- make the salaries of the jadge ana the deputy jadge1 equivalent. 5000 each. One of the senior lawyers who attended the Saturday executive meet ing told q Democrat reporter that iP Attorney Oar1Iody was appointed judge. he would do all the business of the court The particular fault found with Judge Cowe1I is that he is unable to get tA.e proper amount of business transacted in the court on account of his good nature.

 Birds are having hard time to get something to eat these days. The snow shut out almost everything from them and it is mystery how they manage to live. The pugnacious spar. row and other members of tho feaEh- cred family that are not afraid to come near the hauntS of men get enough crumbs to maintain them, but the tinlid ones that keep in the desert cd spots are suffering and already many of them have succun1hed 10 tll0 ravages of cold and hunger. If hunts men and others who have an interest in birds do not get together ana do something to help them through Ghe present food famine 1t fs doubtsul if many of them will be here 10 take ad- vantage of their natural supply NAIen it will be available. Unfoxtvsnac acely for the comfort Of birds, everybody ip not trained to think of the Aart1Bhips they suffer during heavy snow storms, and as a result thousands who coulG lend hand without throwing away anything that they could use themselves never bestow thoNght upon the straitened circumstancvA of the birds during the winter seasoaA lt is a good thing that nearly als our song birds dig out before the hard weather sets in. If they remained in Waterbury and trusted to those whO loved to listen to their encnanting melody during the summer ana fall there would not be many of them, left by next spring and the woodland choir would soon be but a memory in this part of the country.

That a public market yard for this
city Is greatly needed is now beyond
question especially as far as those who

That street Is simply blocked with farm

locality to be used as a public market

SUPERB ORGAN RECITAL.
Yesterdays Effort Was One Of the Best

The organ recital Of yesterday after
noon was one Of the best given In the
Tabernacle this season, The program
included Jerusalem, the Golden, with
variations; an Andante, by Haydn;
Mendelssohns Spring Song and
Ratste's Cecilia Offertory IN d Major.
The orchestral treatment OF the Andan-

bringing out the stringed stops OF the
organ In a gratifying way; and the
Interpretation was most muslcianly.
The great Offertory showed of well the
majestic qualities Of the Tabernacle
organ, and lis presentation was In the
highest degree artistic and impressive.
The light pastoral music OF the Spring
Song gave the organist an opportunity
TO display the registration OF this or
gan necessary TO reproduce this peculiar
form Of music, intensely orchestral In
It's Interpretation, and he was equal
TO the task. A classical program win
be given tomorrow afternoon, and win
tourists please remember that the doors
of the Tabernacle are not opened dur

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
Weather Favorable for the Gathering
And Thrashing Of Crops. ~s

The weekly crop bulletin just issued
by the Utah section United States de-
partment Of agriculture, says that the
weather during the week was excep-
tionslly favorable for the gathering
and thrashlng OF crops Clear skies
prevailed and there was little or no
precipitation. Temperatures during
the day were quite high but the nights
were cool, as is usual at this period
OF the year. The temperatures, how
ever, only In a few Instances fell low
enough TO form frost, and these were
OF SO light a character that no appre-
ciable damage was done The season
can now be said to be rapidly drawing
to a close, and all crops excepting beets
and potatoes were practically all gath
cred Thrashlng was under rapid head
way though this work was completed
on the arid farms. The yields OF wheat
and oats continued TO be either above
or az least fully up 10 the average.
Some few correspondents IN the north
ern counties report a deterioration In
the quality OF the crop owing TO the
frosts Of the 22nd ut. The digging OF
bcets WIN soon begin All indications
point TO large Yields, as this staple was
in splendid condition. The third crop
OF lucern was making a rapid growth.
Fruit and garden truck rpening fast
and were very abundant, Ranges were
generally In prime condition and stock
was thriving, The supply of irrigation
water was ample for all needs for the
remainder OF the season, Fan plow-
Ing had begun and some fall grain was
being sown.
