GRADUATING EXERCISES
Superintendent Tinker Gave Some Good Advice and EncOuragemant.

The graduating exercises of the evening schools were held in the Cros- by Grammar school last night Diplo- mas were presented to class of tWen' ty-eight young men and young women, the largest which has ever graduated from. the evening schools. The gradu- ates have been students of the gram mar and mechanical drawing depart ments. Among those who attended the exercises were Superintendent B. w. Tinker, Vice-President Chapman and Commissioner Larkin of the board of education; Bernard F. Fitzpatrick and James E. Madigan. In introduce ing Mir Chapman, who presented the diplomas to the class; Superintendent Tinker spoke as follows:
 'sI have watched the work of the evening schools since l have been q member of the board of education, seven years now. with great deal Of interest. I want to fe1fcitate you on the showing you have made and the reward you have won. The opportun1- ty has been presented you to start your education and you have done we'll in grasping it. It is sign of great mo- ment when young people are willing to give up their evenings after hard days labor in the factories and devote their leisure time to study in the night schools. I have no advice to give you, only encoura agement. You have made 6 good beginning, for of course you know. it is only beginning, but you have acquired something even now during these years of application in the night schools which will last long after your bodily vigor has gone"

Drs Crane, Anderson, Rodman and Graves testified to hav- ing examined MT FTisbie at his own request and that on that occasion he was extremely nervous and somewhat debilitated.

Credit Argument.

Our strong position in the credit or ------ is matter attained by un. daunted persistence in matters o4 quality and llttleness of price, backed by the most liberal and generous cred- it proposition ever offered to the pub~. lie by the Guarantee Credit Clothiug Co.
 Anybody can buy for cashy That's easy" There's no special honor in the, Iact that one can walk into stores Fay down in cold cash tue full price' asked for an article and 80 becoms the possessor. Come to think of 1t ita the coldest sort of a proposition, a mere transaction. TO have credie given you Is entirely different. Makes you feel as though you were entitled To It. What great honor 1t is to h9 able to enter as store select such goods as you want and arrange t0 pay for them in amounts and at times that are convenient to you. What a' great dignity there is to credit, and now far reaching its beneficial effects
 A large per cent of the worlds business owes it's existence to this great comodity. To buy for caghs then. is very ordinary. But to buy on, credit is always distinction that ona should be proud of. :.

PROBABLY TYPHOID.
Prof. Smith of Yale Wilt Examine
 Water From ScovilPs Sprina.

The fact that about half dozen men employed in the same room at the plant of the Scovill Manufacturing Go had become seriously i'll about the same time, that the malady from which they suffered was the same and had the earmarks Of typhoid fever, and that 1t was believed that the disease was caused by the drinking of impure water from a spring on the premises of the company, were the cause of the presence in this city on Saturday of Prof Herbert Smith, dean of the Yale medical school and state chemist. Prof smith came here in the absence of Dr Lindsley, president of the state board Of health, to investigate the causes of the illness of the men reported to be ill with typhoid fever. The investlga- ton was made and samples of the water from the spring which is said to have caused the trouble were taken by Prof Smith, who will examine them thoroughly.
 The water from the spring is used to furnish the drinking supply of one or two rooms at ScovilIs shop. 1t was thought to be all right until about half dozen employees of one room be- came ill with what was thought to be suspicious cases of typhoid fever. Then the other employees became some what alarmed, and so did the local health authorities. So Prof Smith was brought here to see if tIe water in the spring was all right. In connection with this investigation it may be said that Chauncey F. Goss, Jr, who is said to have charge of the room in which the men now sick were employed, sui fered from a severe attack of typhoid fever not long ago.

A POINTED QUESTION.
Alderman CaIlan Wants to Knew a Few Things.

Alderman Ca1lan asked Mir Stanley of the board of health pointed ques- ton last night. He wanted to know if the ordinances covered plumbers who do not live in Waterbury, but may get a contract here. The ques- ton was not answered ,but 1t is evil dent that the framers of the meas ure intended to have 1t reach all, though there is some ambiguity on that point. It states that no person shall engage in the plumbing business in Waterbury until he shall have first passed successful examination and received license to that effect. Does this mean that he shall not open store until he gets license or that he must not do any plumbing? It catches him both ways, but probably the lawyers would not look at it in that way. MT Filling wanted to know why the board fixed the price for a H- cense at 8. He didn't know whether that was too much or not enough, probably it ought to be $1O for all he knew but he would like to he in- forrfed as to what the board of health wants it for. MT Stanley said 1t will go to the city. Those who are now in the business escape the ex- animation.
