BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
nulcahy School Approach Settled For
 the Time Reing.

The board of public works met last night in the mayors office. Property owners in Aurora street appeared rela- tive to the petition for a water main in that street. Charles E. Egan acted as spokesman and talked to the board in manner which showed that he felt there was something wrong. About ] fifty families would be accommodated by small extension in Aurora street but they can't get it, while thousand feet of main has been laid in Newton street. where there is but one family, and to make things worse large sign displayed on the roadside informs pedestrians that it is not public way. MT Egan said somebody must have had big pull to get this. He didn't know whether it was John Macauley or somebody else. After some further discussion it was finally agreed to put | in an extension of 150 feet ill Aurora street, MT Egan to foot the bills and be reimbursed later by the city.
 I Mir Cairns was prepared to defend his work at the Mulcahy school whel the recommendation of the aldermen came up regarding new street to the building and suggested that the one first talked of be put through, adding that even though the one now men. l tioned should be made the other would have to come later. This, of course, is the last touch in the consummation of the scheme concocted prior to the | building of the school, and no matta' who likes it, it has to go through. Bit ter as the pill may appear, even those who have to swallow it are anxious to | take the medicine rather than further | imperil the health of the children of the district The board made favor able recommendation to the aldermen on the proposed street through the Rodman property, and since the scheme has to be carried out 1t would be well to rush it through before winter sets 1 in.
 | Frederick Gillmor appeared ard stated that the property owners on North Willow street between Demor- est and Calumet streets are willing to l grade the street at their own expense so that things may be ready to lay walks thereon this fall. They will be given an opportunity to do so. A hear ing will be held October 8 on the peti- tion for a sewer in Easton avenue, but it is not likely that the work will be done this year. The petition for a fire hydrant on South and Rye streets was referred to the superintendent Of water. The application for building lines on Pine street was read and or. dered on file. Nothing will be done in the premises at present, no money being available for that class of work
 The petition of the Thomaston Tram way Co regarding trolley rights over the highway was tabled to give the board time to consider 1t and also to look into an application from the Con. necticut Railway and Lighting Go to connect with the proposed Thomaston company's tracks.
 The matter of selecting polling places for the city election was re- ferred to a committee consisting of Commissioners Holmes and Brown.

GRANGE BABY SHOW
Till Plain People Have Something
 New in Amusement Line.

It takes the natives of Mill Plain to start things going and furnish amuse- ment to the people who dwell within the limits of the city. The grangers are now giving a fair in the district and one of the special features sched- uled for this afternoon was an old fashioned baby show. The manage ment requested the entering of all kinds of little ones, big little ones, small ones, pretty babes and their op- posites, bowling. tots and those who say nothing, and what is more they added the fatter they were the better their chances for a prize It cost nothing to enter 'babe," and every entry was entitled to free ticket for supper. Baby shows around this part are rather scarce and mothers have not had much opportunity for compar- ing their pets with those of their neighbors. As long as the Mill Plain people have now started it is hoped that many more of these affairs will be given in order that we may get q line on the children who are to take our places in the future. But just a little bit of advice: If your baby does not capture a blue ribbon, do not show your sad feelings in heaping abuse upon the judges, but go home deter mined to take more care of your fond ling with the intention of outstripping all competitors in the next contest.
 Besides the above show there are many other interesting things going on at the fair and the big tent which has done duty at the Wolcott fair for such a long time will protect you from the rain if 1t should happen to come down.

SWEENEY FOUND MONEY
Thinks He Can Claim 1t Since Owner
 Did Not Turn up.

How long do the police keep money found on the street before they return 1t to the finder, if the owner does not call?" was the peculiar question asked g Democrat reporter the other day by man who seemed to be out of job. It was a matter that never occurred to the scribe and he let himself down us easily as possible to the man out os a job.
 Yesterday afternoon the same man, apparently, asked precisely the same question of Captain Ramon at the DO lice station. The captain informed him that his money, or rather the money he had found, was at the sta ton and he would get it by applying to the proper person, the superinten- dent.
 Bernard Sweeney, 111k Grand street, was the man who had found the money and the date of finding was August il, and the place corner of Bank and West Main streets. The call Sweeney made yesterday was the sixth or sew enth he had made since he found the money, and the finding of 1t, by the way, was peculiar.
 It was seen about the same moment by Sweeney and a newsboy and bott made a rush for 1t. A policeman was standing near and saw the rush Sweeney being the stronger, was thu successful one. He took the money, q $2 bill, to the station house, told thc circumstances of the finding, and ths money was there yesterday afternoon It had not been advertised. nor had | been called for, for no doubt the losel never thought the finder would bt Bernard Sweeney or that he would hand 1t up at the police station.
 The money is unquestionably Swee ney's now, for it has been more than A reasonable time at the station house awaiting its owner.
 Money found by policemen and un called for at the police station il turned into the police pension fund after a reasonable time, generally s few weeks.

nEnMuNn RuRKE.-

There was too much of the heroics and of the improbable, and too little of the musical, in the new play writ ten for Chauncey olcott, which re- ceived its first presentation in this city last evening and its second presenta- ton in public since it was written. It is a difficult matter for writer to make a dramatic performer out of . musical artist, and that Is just what has been attempted in this new ye- hicle created for Mir olcott. While he may possess in some degree dramauc ability, his voice is not fitted to the ability and the many improbabiities at times forces on the minds of the audience that there is such thing as making A person ludicrous. As a dra- matic possibility Edmund Burke" might attain success, but where the public has so many times applauded Mir Olcott as a clever and capable Irish character with voice of singu- lar sweetness, 1t will scarcely awaken to the wished for purpose of applaud ing him as a dramatic artist, with ms singing curtailed and what songs De does sing written to accommodate, pos, sibly, a voice that has seen It's pest days. The company surrounding MT Olcott is an exceptionally clever one and some of the work the cast de serves more than passing mention This is particularly true of the clever acting of Marcy Harlan as Maurice Desneyer. His scene where he es canes from the English who are seek ing him as a French spy was very creditable piece of work and received the only real and appreciative appiause of the night. Mace Greenleaf in the character of the Prince of Wales alsc ! enacted his role with perfect concep ion of the work desired. and Danie i Jarrett as Oliver Goldsmith and Thom ss Davis, a Waterbury boy, in tnt ! character unsuited to him, that of sil Hugh Vivian. did fairly well. Asioe from these the characters were medi ocre. The settings were beautilui The duel scene in which Mir Olcot crosses swords with four assailant' was not a successful imitation or an other great actor and really fell nat Cbauncey Olcott has been recognized as an Irish singing comedian or tn' higher type and 1t will be very dlficui to foist on the public anything tha
 will drift entirely away from thes' lines.
