AWATERBURY POLICE DEPARTMENT.
Exhaustive and Interesting Review of the Work of
 the Past Year.

The following is Chief of Police G. |the board of safety yesterday: Ho the Honorable Board of Commis-
 sioners Of Public Safety of the City
 of Waterbury:
 Gentlemen: herewith present for fyor consideration my twentieth an {nnal report of the police department of Ethis city, covering the year ending De cember Si, 1903:
 Changes in Law, and the Force.
 Tn February last the law was amend Sed authorizing the increase of the SUI Inernumerary force by the addition of Hiffv men. and in May the board of all |dermen granted permission to add one man to the regular force, thus increas- ifng the supernumerary force to seven |8v-d5ve men. and the regular force to Mhirty-ive patrolmen.
 During the year two patrolmen and {*Ix supernumeraries resigned, and three mafrOImen and sixty supernumeraries {were appointed.
 At the present time the force con- {Sists of one chief, one captain, one lieu I4enant. in charge of the detective b'l- < reau, three sergeants, two detectives, Edhirty-four patrolmen, seventy-four SUI sa1ernumeraries, one of whom is de- Hailed at Headquarters as doorman, and one police matTon.
 desire to call your attention to the Ynadeuuacy of our present quarters, iwIich was made more manifest during fhe past year when there was not suf- sficjent space in the assembly room to allow the men present for duty to forff line for roll call My views upon this subject as expressed in my last annual Iweport have undergone no change, and ' sincerely hope that steps will be @aken in tbe near future to provide .adequate quarters for this department.
 Discipline.
 The past year has been remarkabi m the number of charges preferred against members of the force by citi xens the chief. three patrolmen anu 1.-two slIpernumeraries had to answer to < such charges. some for neglect of duty, aud the others for exceeding their au- Sfhority. but in none of those cases gyere the charges sustained. Tn only one instance was charges preferred against a member of the force by the Chief and in that case the officer was Found guilty as chareed and sentenced ,ao forfeit thirty days pay and be re xlueed i1 rerk 10 the lowest grade. I Tn discipline and close attention to *dufv fhis department will compare fa- rorabIv with any like department in afs state.
 xhs law governing this department
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-01-06

provides that, ill addition to the regu- lar and supernumerary force, there shall be an honorary grade known as the veteran reserve, to which may be transferred any member of the regular force who shall, through age or physi- cal disability incurred ill the line Of duty, become permanently disqualified for the more active duties of the regu lar grade.
 It also provides that any member of the regular or veteran reserve force may be permanently retired after twen ty years of continuous service, upon certificate of the surgeon of the depart ment, showing that said member is per manently disabled, physically or men tally. so as to be unfit for any police duty; also, that such retired member shall receive annually from the pension fund a sum not to exceed one-half of the compensation that he received while on active duty.
 call your attention at this time to the law as above set forth for the req son that the time is not far distant when your honorable board will be called upon to take into consideration the matter of transferring to the vet eran reserve, or permanently retiring members of tho force, on account of advanced age. if for no other cause.
 Trolley Strike.
 On Sunday morning, January Il, 1903, Waterburys first trolley strike was inaugurated, and from that time until the following Thursday no at tempt was made to run cars on any of the lines in the city. During that in- terval considerable excitement was caused by the arrival of non n-union trol. leymen and the introduction by the strikers of vehicles of all kinds and descriptions for the conveyance of pas sengers.
 On Thursday, January 15, the Wa terville and Oakville lines were opened, the cars running from about 10 a. m to 5 D. m.. and upon the following day the Bank and North Main street line was opened from the depot to Hill street.
 On Monday. January 10, the Sonth Main street line was opened from Elk change place to Mill street, and upon January 2 the East Main street line was opened to Wolcott street Thus far no attempt had been made to oner- ate the cars 1ater than 5:30 D. m. but on January 26 they were kent running during the evening on the Waterville line and on the fol1owino evening they were running to Oakville. On Tanu- arv 2S they continued to run during the evening on the Bank and North Main street line and on the Both they were running to Naugatuck.

STALWART ADDRESS


A. K. Stebbens, of Milwaukee. a
stalwart speaker, addressed large
audience at the opera house Monday
evening. The railroads run free
train from Marshfield to this city
which brought about three hundred
people, men, women and children :
headed by the Marshtield band they
marched to the opera house where a
part of them listened to the address
while the balance permeated the city
for good time.
The opera house was we'll filled
when the speaker began but before he
closed he had driven and disguised
fully one half of bis audience. He
euligized the National Republican
party which was good and well
received by his large audience, but
when. he commenced a TRADE upon
Gov. La Toilette and his admins.
tration his hearers commenced to
leave, a few at a time, until one hall
of them had gone. Such speeches We
believe make votes for La Toilette
and the more Of them the better. II
this speaker is only continued in
Wood county until election day Gov.
La Follette's plurality will reach

TEACHERS MEETING

The second monthly meeting of the
teachers of the Grand Rapids schools
was held last Friday, at 4:3O p. m. in
the Lincoln High school building,
1t is the purpose of these meetings
to keep each and every teacher alive
to his work so that the efficiency OF
his efforts may be increased to the
highest. To this end some one classic
on teaching is discussed under the
able leadership of Supt. Youker at
each meeting.
At this second meeting, "Jean
Mitchell's School," the latest epoch
making book in 1.-The teaching profess
sion, and written by Angelina Wray,
was taken up. All the teachers
showed thorough preparation and the
discussions indicated that the work OF
the Grand Rapids teachers will be
better for having studied Jean
Mitchell's character and the way she
so successfully met the problems and
conditions in her school.
Jean Mitchell was young woman
who worked by day and dreamed by
night" in preparation for her chosen
work. She was engaged to teach a
school where through force OF circum-
stances the only ambition of former
teachers had been to last through the
term. Jean, on the other hand, went
there with a mission and succeeded in
arousing in that community the
spirit which makes all true educa
tional progress possible. The book
ought to be read by all who take a
live interest ia the education OF
children, and those who do not vel
possess that live interest can hardly
do better than study Jean Mitchell
and her school. "What not to do
naturally supplements "What to do
consequently. at the next meeting
November Is, Hughes Mistakes il
Teaching will be discussed.

GHOSTS HAVE A PARTY

A Halloween frniic and .spread''
was enjoyed by the teachers uf The
lefty at the Howe school Saturday
evening. A 'jollg Tine is the
general verdict and tie teachers of
the Howe building who a.-ted as
host esses covered themselves with
glory as entertainers.
Allrooms of the roomy old building
were dark except for glimmering
lights on the stairwa.s, and visitors
were expected to find their way
through long dark halls filled with
ghosts ahd gobblins.
''.tS we entered the front door, "
said one of the guests, .swe found our
selves in pilchy darkness, and were
Immediately clutched by little spirits
who tried to pull Us along.-Then We
heard uncanny groanS and cianking of
chains through all the halls and in
some of the darkened rooms. AS our
eyes. became used to the darkness we
discovered at the farther end of the
hall tall ghostly form dressed in
white reckoning US while the spirites
clutched and tried to push and pull
US in that direction"
Getting to the room above oc.
cupied several minutes and one might
easily imagine himself in the regions
through which Dante went in i'm
agination.
On reaching the brightly lighted
room above the guests found jack
lanterns, fortune tellers and all that
go to make a real halloween. Some
of the fortune telling and palmiStry
was startlingly true to life, and it was
demonstrated that should there be
depression ID the teacher market, at
least two of those present would not
be without profession.
Tables were Hastily spread and
lighted with candles and later in the
evening refreshments were served
after which the lights were partially

New Way to
Polish a Stove.
No Waste -Odor-or Dirt.

By sprinkling Sitter Stove Polish on the stove
and then rubbing with a damp rag and gently
brushing with a dry cloth, a brilliant, jet black
lustre Is obtained. Sitter Stove Polish comes
In a large box with perforated top, through
which the polish Is sifted just like peppering a
beefsteak. Sitter Stove Polish is made of pure
powdered graphite, which is not affected by fire,
produces the most brilliant polish, and when
applied, won't rub of. 1t is odorless. 1t never
dries up. It does not require soaking in water
before using. A 10 cent box of Sitter Stove
Polish will polish more stoves than three times
Its cost in any other polish. Get Sitter Stove
Polish of any dealer at cents box, 10 cent
box contains more than twice as much. Insist
on the yellow label with the hand.

This is the day of the young man in
the Republican party La Theodore
Roosevelt the Republican party has a
leader who typlfies the best of young
American manhood. In the state the

an epoch in our history which coming
historians may designate as character
lied by militant Americanism.
